Lingxueju.
Concubine Xian held Shen Qingyi's hand affectionately and smiled.
Shen Qingyi was very grateful and said: "Thank you so much for speaking up for me at the palace banquet. I have nothing to repay. This is a pastry made by my own hands. Please accept it with my smile."
Logically speaking, eating in the palace is the most taboo, and even sisters would not dare to fully trust them.
But when Concubine Xian saw the pastry brought by Shen Qingyi, she directly picked up a piece and put it into her mouth.
Ding Xiang on the side was shocked: "Empress..."
After taking a sip of lotus pastry, Concubine Xian wiped her face with a handkerchief and said, "I think the taste of this pastry is very good."
Shen Qingyi was also shocked.
She originally thought that Concubine Xian would at least test it with a silver needle first, but she didn't expect that she would take it directly.
Seeing Shen Qingyi's shock, Concubine Xian laughed and said, "My Lingxue Residence will be fine for a long time. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I can visit you often in the future."
Shen Qingyi came back to his senses and said kindly: "Thanks to the empress for not giving up, I am willing to come and disturb you."
Concubine Xian smiled in relief.
Shen Qingyi murmured in her heart.
There are so many women in the harem, but this virtuous concubine is the only one who is unpredictable.
He doesn't seem to be an enemy, but he has an inexplicable affinity with him.
But Shen Qingyi knew, where are the good people in this harem?
Good people don't live long.
However, the other party didn't show his fangs for the time being, and seemed to still want to be on good terms with her, so it was fine for me to have a showdown with her for the time being.
At this time, a palace servant ran in from outside Lingxue Residence in a panic. With a pop, he knelt in front of Shen Qingyi: "Shen Xiaoyi, please go back quickly. Something big happened in Lanyue Pavilion!"
Shen Qingyi's expression was panicked, and she pretended to be anxious and looked at Concubine Xian: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not staying any longer. Please take my leave."
Concubine Xian calmly watched Shen Qingyi go away.
Ding Xiang, who had been standing next to her, finally said, "My queen, you are too careless. Do you dare to eat things given by strangers?"
Concubine Xian calmly poured a cup of tea: "If she harms me, wouldn't she be asking for her own death? Besides, other women in the harem may have plans, but Shen Qingyi does not. I can see that she is a person with a bottom line. , a measured woman.”
Ding Xiang asked in surprise: "Then, are you going to entrust that matter to her?"
"Whether it succeeds or not, you have to give it a try to know. At present, Shen Xiaoyi is indeed the most suitable candidate." When Concubine Xian said this, she sighed, as if she thought of some unforgettable past events.
…
When Shen Qingyi returned to Lanyue Pavilion, she discovered that lotus roots, small seals, and green radish... were all kneeling on the floor, while Shen Weier was kneeling on the bedside in disheveled clothes, shivering. As for the suspicious-looking honey lily flower, it had already It's all in disarray and can no longer be seen as it is.
very good.
The evidence has been destroyed.
Shen Qingyi calmly took in the whole scene and bowed to Jamel Xiao respectfully: "Concubine, why is the emperor so angry when he meets the emperor?"
Jamel Xiao looked at Shen Qingyi coldly, snorted coldly, and said nothing.
Lian Ou took courage and said timidly: "This slave brought the token to the emperor. The emperor said that the young master was frightened at the palace banquet today and would come to accompany the young master tonight. However, after turning off the lights, the person lying on the bed actually ...actually turned into Shen Weier...so..."
Hearing this, Shen Qingyi looked at Shen Weier in disbelief: "Sister..."
Luluo stepped forward and accused Shen Weier in a hoarse voice: "Second Miss, when you were accused by everyone, it was the mistress who stepped forward and shouldered everything. He also took the blame for you and arranged a place to live. Is this how you repay the mistress?"
Shen Weier's body trembled and she didn't dare to make a sound.
Jamel Xiao glanced at Shen Weier with disgust: "I thought Qing'er would plead for you and you could change your ways, but I didn't expect you to worsen your behavior and try to seduce me? You are really hopeless! Someone, please kill this bitch. Drag him down and kill him with a stick!"
When Shen Weier heard the sound, she immediately grabbed the hem of Jamel Xiao's clothes and begged for mercy: "The daughter of the people is confused, please forgive the daughter of the people, Your Majesty..."
"snort!"
Shen Weier was killed with a stick, and Jamel Xiao walked away.
Shen Qingyi seemed to have been drained of all her strength and collapsed on the ground. It was not until all the palace attendants around the emperor left that she wiped her tears and stood up calmly.

Luluo bit her lower lip and said nervously: "My lord, the emperor was so angry just now, will something happen?"
"Don't worry, we will win a great victory tonight!"
…
"Father, how can you get entangled with someone like Shen Weier?"
In Fengyi Palace, the queen looked at Master Ye with disapproval and sighed.
Master Ye said calmly: "What's the rush?"
"Can I not be anxious? The emperor just said at the palace banquet that he would sever ties with his daughter. Is it possible for a father to just watch his daughter being ignored by her husband?" Thinking of the way Jamel Xiao looked at her at the end, the queen felt cold. Half done.
She and Jamel Xiao have been married for many years, so she naturally knows Jamel Xiao's temperament.
Saying this in public meant that he would never show mercy to himself again.
"Father, you are confused!"
Seeing that the queen was being cornered, Master Ye sneered: "My good daughter, don't worry, Jamel Xiao won't be able to sit on the throne for long!"
The queen was startled.
"Do you think that when I asked you to leave Pipa and climb the big tree like Jamel Xiao, it was because I wanted him to prosper for generations to come?"
Grand Master Ye gave a ferocious smile and slowly revealed his plan.
Finally, at this time, the queen learned the truth about Concubine Xian's miscarriage, and she couldn't help being frightened: "Father, you are treasonous!"
Seeing the queen's sudden loss of expression, Master Ye couldn't help but sneer: "My good daughter, you want to remove yourself now, isn't it too late? You didn't want Concubine Xian's son to be born, so you asked the father to Help you. My grandma entered the palace, the concubine gave birth, and she lied about the stillbirth... You were involved in every single one of these things. Do you still dare to say that you are innocent?!"
Grand Master Ye's questioning was like a stormy wave, which enveloped the queen's soul and shattered her into pieces.
good.
When they were in the East Palace, Concubine Jin and Concubine Xian took refuge with the Queen one after another. However, the Queen saw that Concubine Jin was frivolous, stupid, and easy to control, while Concubine Xian was deep-minded and difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, so she was not completely relieved, and a series of things happened after that. , also confirmed her guess.
Whenever the Queen asked for something, whether it was harmful to nature or human life, Concubine Jin would fulfill it to the letter. Therefore, the Queen was willing to give Concubine Jin the opportunity to give birth to the second prince, but Concubine Xian was not like that - even though she was seeking refuge. , but it is more like protecting oneself wisely. Even if the task is completed, she only chooses some satisfactory ones. For example, at the last Lantern Festival dinner, the queen secretly asked Concubine Xian to take the initiative to "open the Sixth Palace". Concubine Xian thought about it again and again before she was willing to agree.
All this made the queen suspicious.
Therefore, after Concubine Xian was revealed to be pregnant, the Queen's first thought was to take action. Regardless of whether Concubine Xian gave birth to a boy or a girl, she lied about stillbirth.
There were twenty-three maids, nuns, eunuchs, and imperial doctors involved in this incident. After the incident, they were all executed secretly. The queen always thought that she had done it without anyone noticing, but she did not expect that the real three people were involved. The prince is now being raised in the Grand Master's Mansion and controlled by Grand Master Ye?
"Daughter, don't worry. After your father ascends the throne, you will be a noble princess. You are a mere Jamel Xiao. He can be killed or chopped into pieces at your disposal! Hahahaha..." Grand Master Ye smiled arrogantly, put his hands behind his back, and left Feng Yi Palace.
The Queen collapsed to the ground and was picked up by Fennel.
Seeing the tears on the Queen's face, Fenxiang couldn't help but worry: "My Lady, please try to persuade Grand Master Ye again. Conspiracy to usurp the throne is a serious matter that will cause you to lose your head!"
The queen smiled bitterly and shook her head: "My father has been rebellious for more than a day or two. When he betrothed me to King Chen, he wanted to use my hand to control power. Although I am a queen, I am only a queen. It’s just a chess piece of the Ye family…”
"Empress..."
The queen sighed, feeling sad: "You go down first, I will allow you to think about this matter carefully."
…
Lingxue Residence at this moment.
Concubine Xian looked at the spring flowers in the garden and picked one with a smile: "Lilac, tell me, can Shen Xiaoyi get out of trouble this time?"
Ding Xiang put down the tea in her hand and covered her lips with a smile: "I can't say for sure, but my dear, the queen has suffered a big fall this time."
Putting the spring flowers in her hand into the wind, Concubine Xian suppressed her smile and said coldly:
"A person like her with blood on her hands will have to die sooner or later, but I really hope that Shen Xiaoyi can fight a good fight this time, so that she can go further and get my child back... "
…
The next day, Shoukang Palace.
Sandalwood curls up and Buddha chants.
The Queen Mother knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva, burned a stick of incense, and prayed sincerely before she stood up.
"How's it going? Did you find it?"
"To report to the Queen Mother, I have found out the origin of the kite." Aunt Zhuyu stepped forward and handed over a roster, "Last month, a new batch of wood gauze paper arrived from the House of Internal Affairs, from Fengluan Palace, Yong'an Palace, and Jade Palace Fu Palace, Changchun Pavilion, Xie Fang Pavilion... all received some, and this is the receipt record."
The Queen Mother was obviously not satisfied with this result.
Aunt Zhuyu continued: "The rest of the palace rooms are normal, and the remaining wooden gauze papers and usage records are all consistent. Only Li Changzai from Jie Fang Pavilion received the wooden gauze papers four times in total, and all of them have been used." After using it up, when the slave girl asked in detail the purpose of the wooden gauze paper, Li Changzai was hesitant and speechless. Therefore, the slave girl concluded that the person who left the kite in the imperial garden was Li Changzai. "
Knowing who the eavesdropper was, the Queen Mother finally felt relieved.
After all, this is not the worst outcome.
"Now that we know who it is, let's end her silently."
"This slave knows."
"In addition, in order to prevent Li Changzai from leaking the news, we still have to test Shen Qingyi. You go and convey the Ai family's decree and ask the concubines to come to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects."
"yes."
