"Liuli, do you think Concubine Shen will really commit suicide?" Su Zixu said.

She never thought that Concubine Shen would come this far. The decision when she fought with her at the beginning, and the pain when she talked about Emperor Yan, flashed in her mind one by one.

The person who loves Emperor Yan the most in the palace is Concubine Shen. This woman, who dares to love and hate, is not for glory and wealth in the harem, but only for love, which is suffocating and admirable at the same time.

If she hadn't been pregnant with Yao'er, she didn't know if she could be as determined as she was.

"Mother, the slave doesn't know. Ruri shook her head.

Concubine Shen's suicide, I'm afraid only the person concerned knows, she doesn't dare to speculate.

When Su Zixu walked to the Imperial Garden with Liuli, a call came from behind him: "Sister Yue, wait." ”

Su Zixu looked back, and Concubine Shu greeted her.

She took Su Zixu's hand and said worriedly: "Sister Yue, are you going back to the palace?

The sincere smile on her face did not arouse Su Zixu's disgust, but it still made Su Zixu feel a little uncomfortable.

Su Zixu gently withdrew his hand and said lightly: "The concubine is fine, and my sister is worried." ”

With that, she smiled faintly, turned and left.

Concubine Shu was not annoyed by her alienation, and followed, "Did this palace disturb Sister Yue?"

"My sister is too worried, the concubine is just a little dizzy, and I want to go back to rest, if I do something wrong, please forgive my sister. ”

"What did my sister say? Concubine Shu pulled Su Zixu to the side and said, "Sister, if you are not feeling well, go back and rest quickly." Thank you for the events of the past few days, if it weren't for you, Ze'er would have lost his life. ”

After saying that, Concubine Shu didn't plan to delay her time any longer, and left with a light smile.

After a while, Su Zixu returned to the Living Palace, it was not dark yet, but she felt heavy eyelids, ordered Liuli a few words, and lay down early.

……

Emperor Yan did not treat Concubine Shen badly, and asked her to be buried as a concubine. The harem killed two concubines for a few days in a row, one of which was still a favorite concubine with a very high position, and some gossip spread out, and the court was shocked for a while.

The affairs of the harem did not affect the government affairs, and Emperor Yan went to the court as usual to deal with state affairs.

After the Shen family received the news of Concubine Shen's death, their reaction was much greater than that of the Lu family, and after Shen Shangshu went down to the court, he went straight to the Palace of Cultivating Hearts and knelt down to see Emperor Yan.

After staying in the Heart Cultivation Hall for half a pillar of incense, Shen Shangshu looked depressed and stumbled out.

Losing his beloved daughter, he seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and his face was pale. Emperor Yan both pressured and appeased, and the matter quickly calmed down.

Even so, Concubine Shen's suicide still caused an uproar in the harem, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Kunning Palace

"Still haven't found it?" asked Queen Liu.

Xing'er paused and pondered: "Back to Niangniang, no." ”

She sighed slightly: "I didn't expect Concubine Shen to go like this." ”

That woman has been alone for three years, but she didn't expect to lose her fragrance so inexplicably, it is really impermanent.

After thinking about it, she was inexplicably happy in her heart, and soon disappeared again.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I will never see that similar face again, in the past three years, every time I see her, she breathes a sigh of relief in her heart, and she can't go up or down. Now that Concubine Shen is gone, the big stone in her heart has finally been half put down.

While Xing'er was full of doubts about Concubine Shen's death, she was also happy for Queen Liu, and she smiled lightly: "By the way, Niangniang, Gonggong Fu just came over to pass on the emperor's message, saying that the matter of Concubine Shen's burial will be handled by you." You were resting just now, and he said a few words and left. ”

Empress Liu smiled lightly and nodded.

The harem was silent for several days, Su Zixu stayed in the palace of the dead, and occasionally a few rumors reached her ears, but she didn't care at all and did her own thing peacefully.

On this day, Emperor Yan came over again.

Su Zixu was about to salute, and Emperor Yan took her hand and sat on the soft couch.

After chatting for a few words, Emperor Yan said: "Ye Lan is ready to return to Beijing, it turns out that he deliberately blended into the enemy camp a few days ago, and he attacked the east and west. Two days ago, he and his soldiers joined forces inside and outside, causing Mo Yanguo to be defeated, and now Mo Yanguo has withdrawn. ”

Su Zixu smiled and said: "General Ye is safe and sound, and resourcefulness is the blessing of Nanfeng Country." ”

Su Zixu glanced sideways at Liuli intentionally or unintentionally, and secretly looked at Liuli's reaction.

Emperor Yan looked at Su Zixu seriously, he was in a rare good mood today, and said with a light smile: "In a few days, Ye Lan will be back." ”

Su Zixu smiled and nodded.

National affairs, she is inconvenient to say.

I don't know what the situation at the border is, if Mo Yanguo comes prepared, he will definitely not retreat so easily, but I am afraid that it will come back soon.

……

The news of Mo Yanguo's withdrawal spread all over the court the next morning, and after waiting for so long, it was rare for good news to come, and they congratulated Emperor Yan one by one.

After a while, Prime Minister Yuan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Mo Yanguo will not give up on this, and when they recuperate, maybe there will be another sneak attack, why not take this opportunity to catch them off guard and fall into the water." ”

"What Yuan Aiqing said makes sense, what about Feng Aiqing, what do you think?"

Prime Minister Yuan looked sideways at Feng Shangshu, his lips moved, and he wanted to speak but didn't make a sound.

Feng Shangshu glanced at him, and said with a calm expression: "Back to the emperor, Weichen agrees with Prime Minister Yuan's words." ”

Prime Minister Yuan's face changed, and his slightly displeased face turned to shock, and then he was a little happy.

He thought to himself.

This Feng Shangshu finally stopped working with him.

He touched his beard and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, we should think of a way to catch it off guard and extinguish their prestige." ”

The ministers below lowered their heads and pondered for a while, seeing that the two highest-ranking people in the court and the central government rarely agreed on the same opinion, and they all stood up in support.

Emperor Yan stretched out his hand to block his words and said, "I will think about this matter carefully and retreat from the dynasty." ”

"This ......" Prime Minister Yuan looked at the back of Emperor Yan in the distance, puzzled, and stopped talking.

After a long time, he turned around and shook his head.

The emperor's reaction seems to be out of play. Your heart is unpredictable.

……

It's just a few days of hard work, and Ye Lan has returned to Beijing.

He went straight to the palace and spent a lot of time in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and always talked back to Emperor Yan about the war. Emperor Yan had lunch with him, which was regarded as a wind and dust for him.

After lunch, the two discussed things in the temple again.

……

Su Zixu said with a smile: "This palace heard that General Ye has returned, and I don't know if I will meet him outside the Heart Cultivation Hall when it passes." ”

The news of Ye Lan's return to Beijing had already spread, and as soon as she arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, someone from the palace had sent her back the news.

Liuli's face was unwavering, she took the meal brought by the palace people, and asked with a light smile: "Niangniang, is this going to pass?"

"In the past, the emperor should be free now. After Su Zixu finished speaking, he walked to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Hall with Liuli.

"Concubine Yue. Fukuhito said respectfully.

Su Zixu smiled: "Father-in-law Fu, is the emperor inside?"

Furen nodded again and again: "Yes, the emperor is talking to General Ye in the palace." ”
