Chapter 393: The End of the Noble Concubine, a Desperate Situation

When it comes to scheming, Wei Mingyu thinks that he is not Shen Yinqu's opponent.

It's just that sometimes people are too smart and they look sharp, Wei Mingyu looked at Shen Yinqu's confident appearance, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Shen Jia...... The arrogant Shen family, even his father and emperor don't dare to provoke easily, let alone a prince who has just sat down?

He secretly clenched his fists, lowered his eyes to hide the injustice and anger in his heart, and his tone was a little softer: "What Hou Ye said is very reasonable. So what are we going to do?"

"It's impossible to do nothing. Shen Yinqu knocked on the table, thought for a while, and said, "But you can't do everything." I remember that some of your subordinates were able to speak in front of His Majesty, right?"

"There are a few. Wei Mingyu bowed.

Shen Yinqu's hand slowly returned to the teacup: "Let them speak as quickly as possible, just say that you are not virtuous, you have not set an example, and let Your Majesty depose your prince's throne, be demoted to a concubine or even exile." ”

"Good. Wei Mingyu nodded and agreed without saying a word.

He had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter this time, and vaguely understood in his heart that if he didn't do what Shen Yinqu said this time, he would be struggling in the future. Without the Shen family's biggest trump card, what can he do to compete with Wei Mingyuan?

Shen Yinqu stood up and bowed deeply: "Lord Wang, let me solve the matter on the Shen family's side, you don't have to worry about it." The minister here implored His Highness that no matter what happens in the future, he must not be involved, and he will protect himself wisely. His Royal Highness is without the Shen family, and there is another way out. But if you have to be in the same boat with the Shen family, then you can only die. If you really come to that step in the future, please only ask Your Highness to keep a trace of roots for my Shen family for His Royal Highness's sake, and treat Princess Shen Meng'an well!"

"Master Hou, it's serious!" Wei Mingyu was taken aback, he didn't expect that he would suddenly make such a determination, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Master Hou, Meng'an is my princess, no matter what, I will protect her." ”

Shen Yinqu nodded and said goodbye to Wei Mingyu.

But one day, the rumors intensified, King Zhao's mansion had never seen such a storm, and some people were already panicked, and even Princess Zhao couldn't help but send a girl to ask Wei Mingyu's meaning. Wei Mingyu was so anxious that he didn't have much time to pay attention to her, so Shen Mengan had to make his own decisions, summoned all the housekeepers, slaves and maids in the mansion, and strictly ordered everyone not to use false rumors, not to conflict with outsiders, not to panic, and to punish the violators heavily, which barely suppressed the riots in Zhao Wangfu.

Wei Mingyuan was not idle there, the rumors were full of wind and rain in the city, and the snowflake-like pieces were also sent to Emperor Shou's desk, begging Emperor Shou to investigate strictly.

Emperor Shou never gave any reply, and the atmosphere in the court suddenly became solemn.

It had been a day since Shen Guifei heard this, and she suddenly heard from the maidservant that the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and cracked into pieces.

Her face turned slightly pale, and her eyes were lost for a while before she muttered a few words: "It's over, it's over......"

"What are you talking about?" the maid wondered.

Shen Guifei was silent for a moment, turned her head to look at her, and a wry smile quietly climbed between her eyebrows: "Yan'er, I didn't expect that we would be free for half our lives, and when we were old, we would be planted on the threshold." ”

"What do you mean?" the maid didn't understand.

Shen Guifei held her forehead, supported the table with one hand, and the big drops of water in her slightly forced eyes rolled off one after another, and her beautiful face showed a tired state, which was an unprecedented frustration: "Yan'er, this time I was wrong, I was careless." That Qu Yingying, she shouldn't have let Yu'er get involved with her in the first place, it's really not a good thing! Now it's okay, Yu'er's life has been messed up by such a woman!"

"Niangniang, Your Majesty hasn't made an order yet, maybe there will be a way out?" The maid saw that she was sad like this, and hurriedly whispered comfort.

Shen Guifei smiled miserably: "You have been by my side for many years, don't you still know Your Majesty? What kind of person is he, after so many years, can't you see it? Are you really like those short-sighted people, thinking that Your Majesty is all relying on Concubine Hui's help today? It's ridiculous! Your Majesty has been the king for many years, and step by step to today's own city, you all look down on him. Don't look at the fact that he has been at the mercy of several major families for so many years, in fact, it ......" Shen Guifei sneered: "Let's look at it, this time, Your Majesty will never be soft!"

"Isn't there anything you can do about it?" the maid asked worriedly.

Shen Guifei sneered again: "Father, he has been proud for many years, and he can't listen to the words of others, so at this time, he probably thinks that His Majesty can be manipulated!"

If her father could have listened to her admonitions, how could she be so discouraged?

The maid was also helpless when she heard this, and she couldn't stop her tears when she saw her, so she could only say: "Niangniang, if the Hou Ye doesn't listen to persuasion, can't we find a way?"

"I'm a woman, what can I do if I'm trapped in this palace?" Shen Guifei shook her head, her fate had been written as early as the day she entered the palace.

For a while, the two people in this palace were speechless.

Shen Guifei cried for a while, slowly stopped her tears, got up on the table, and choked in her throat: "Yan'er, you accompany me to see the queen mother." ”

"Yes. The maidservant didn't know what she wanted to do, so she could only help her paint a plain makeup and change into formal clothes and go out.

Shen Guifei went all the way to the gate of Zhonghe Palace, there are not many guards in this palace on weekdays, but now that the queen is seriously ill, there are more guards. She didn't care either, and after the invitation, she followed Queen Liu's maidservant Bao'er into the inner hall.

Queen Liu came in and gradually got better, and she was able to walk around the palace, and she was sitting in the main hall at this time, embroidering sickly on the soft collapse, and she didn't stop when she saw her coming, and pointed to the chair next to her weakly: "The concubine is here, feel free to sit." ”

Shen Guifei didn't dare to be as casual as her, and after saluting, she sat down upright: "What kind of embroidery is the queen mother doing?"

"Where is the good embroidery, but it's just idle and boring. Queen Liu raised her eyes weakly and looked at her: "The concubine has always been busy, how can she still have time to come to my palace?"

Shen Guifei said with a smile: "The concubine is also idle, and when she heard that the queen's health was improving, she came to say hello." Niangniang is sympathetic to the concubines, and the morning and dusk provinces have been exempted for a long time, and the concubines are no longer sensible, so they will be blind to the queen's hard work. ”

"Hey, the concubine really has a heart. Queen Liu sighed.

Shen Guifei hurriedly said: "The queen is kind and treats the concubines well, not to mention that the concubines respect the mother, even Your Majesty also loves the mother very much." Niangniang, even if it is not for yourself, you have to take care of your majesty! Your Majesty has no Concubine Huiniang, and he has only been more concerned about Niangniang over the years. ”

Queen Liu lowered her eyes, but when she heard this, she raised her head and glanced at her lightly.

For no reason, what did Shen Guifei mean when she mentioned Emperor Shou?

She smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty is attentive to us, and that is our blessing." However, the concubine said this, but she couldn't help but live up to Your Majesty's hard work, who doesn't know that Your Majesty has favored the concubine the most over the years. ”

Shen Guifei was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that she couldn't ask anything from Queen Liu, this person has always been neutral in the harem, and this time is probably no exception.

She carefully checked Queen Liu's words and deeds, and saw that Queen Liu was still as quiet and plain as usual, as if the gossip in the harem and the turmoil in the court had never reached her ears. Shen Guifei was helpless, and couldn't tell whether Queen Liu really didn't care, or didn't want to tell herself.

She gave her maid Yan'er a look, and Yan'er understood and nodded secretly.

Shen Guifei didn't sit for too long, and Empress Liu showed her tiredness after a while, and she got up to say goodbye.

It's just that when they came, there were two people, and when they walked out of the gate of Zhonghe Palace, she rubbed her forehead and sighed loudly: "Hey, Yan'er, I'm very bored and want to walk by myself." You go back first!"

Yan'er blessed her body and took the first step.

Shen Guifei slowly swayed from Zhonghe Palace to the Imperial Garden, the cold wind was cold, but this year's plum blossoms bloomed well, she lingered in the Imperial Garden for a long time, blew the cold wind, felt a little relieved in her heart, and counted that the time was almost up, before returning to her palace.

Yan'er really came back, and when she saw her, she said, "Niangniang, Bao'er said that the queen hasn't been out of the palace for a few days, and she hasn't heard of anything." His Majesty seems to be deliberately blocking the Zhonghe Palace, and even a few little palace maids don't know what is happening outside. ”

"I see. Shen Guifei nodded, her brows tightening.

His Majesty didn't even reveal the queen, which really made her feel hopeless.

She closed her eyes for a while before she said, "You can find a way to send a message to King Zhao and ask him to enter the palace to see me." ”

Yan'er answered and left quickly. In the evening, she came back with a gloomy face: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Zhao asked someone to send a message over, saying that there are many things outside, and I will come to see Niangniang after the limelight in the past few days!"

"Confused!" When Shen Guifei heard this, her heart that had just calmed down was angry again: "After a few days, after a few days, when he comes in a few days, he still doesn't know where I am!"

Before the words fell, tears were already in my eyes.

She was unwilling, calmed down for a while, and was about to go to see Emperor Shou, but she didn't think that she hadn't left yet, and she had already heard that Emperor Shou had gone to Concubine Mei.

Shen Guifei's figure was shaky, and she stood at the palace gate for more than half an hour, her legs were numb from the cold, so she closed her eyes helplessly, and returned to the palace as if she was resigned......

At this time, the palace of the king of Ling was very calm.

Wei Mingxi sat at the table to review the northwest recital, Fu Rongyue sat next to him and read, a faint fragrance of tea permeated, and the piano was harmonious.

Until a quick knock on the door interrupted the two!
