In the Funing Palace, the atmosphere was slightly cold, and Su Wanxi felt Shen Wen's deep suspicion of herself for the first time.

Shen Wen looked at Su Wanxi with doubts: "Say it." ”

"The concubine hopes to go to Baolun Temple to pray for the blessing of my Dongyang Dynasty for March. ”

Shen Wen was slightly surprised: "Why? Now that the palace needs you, you have to go to the mountains?"

Su Wanxi smiled lightly: "The concubines are all for the emperor, if they don't want to be by the emperor's side often, in this deep palace, the concubines really don't want to stay for a moment." The emperor, just promise the concubine, the concubine has been feeling tired lately and wants to be quiet alone. ”

Shen Wen thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's go after the ceremony." ”

Su Wanxi knew that Shen Wen intended to make herself the queen, but she really had no interest in this position, and she had already agreed to Concubine Chen.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the concubines for not knowing what to do. As the queen, the concubines really don't have half a luxury. ”

Shen Wen twisted his eyebrows: "Are you afraid that others will make irresponsible remarks? Or are the ministers opposed? The whole country is mine, I want to seal you, who dares to say a word?!"

Su Wanxi shook her head: "Your Majesty, isn't Concubine Chen more suitable than a concubine?" Concubine Chen just wants to accompany you quietly, and doesn't want to become a second queen......

When Shen Wen heard this, he sighed: "Okay...... It's all up to you. ”

Three days later.

The eldest prince, Shen Mingxu, intended to rebel, and 32 officials above the sixth rank, including Doctor Guanglu and Baohedian scholars, were all taken down.

Shen Mingxu stripped him of his title, guarded the imperial mausoleum for life, and was not allowed to step into the imperial city.

The rest of the rebellious ministers and thieves were all exiled from their homes and were not allowed to return for life.

The queen misbehaved, abolished her posterior, and was demoted to a concubine. Concubine Chen gave birth to a prince and was named Queen Tianze.

Shen Jingyuan abolished his position as the crown prince and will talk about it in the future.

"Why do you want to leave at this time?" In the Renming Palace, Concubine Chen's face was ruddy, and she sat on the soft couch and asked Su Wanxi puzzled.

"The emperor is suspicious of me, and he retreats as advances. ”

"I didn't expect you to really succeed. Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"That's only half the story, it's too early to say success. Su Wanxi said lightly, and said, "You have paid more attention to yourself in the palace in the past few months, and the people of the Bai family may not let you and me go now, but Shen Mingxu's matter has only passed, and they don't dare to act rashly now, so for the time being, you and I are still safe." ”

"Well, are you really going to pray for blessings?" asked Concubine Chen in disbelief.

"When I leave the palace this time, I'm afraid I'll have to go with Su Ziyou. Su Wanxi said lightly.

"Where are you going?" Hearing that it was Su Ziyou, Concubine Chen was particularly interested.

"I'll tell you when I come back. You take good care of your body, and in a month it will be the post-sealing ceremony. ”

"Okay, then be careful. ”

After explaining to Concubine Chen, Su Wanxi packed her bags and got into the carriage out of the palace.

Today also happens to be the day to escort Shen Mingxu to the imperial tomb, and they are all the same way, and they will not be separated until they are outside the city.

Su Wanxi's carriage drove outside the city and happened to meet the prisoner car escorting Shen Mingxu.

"Stop. Su Wanxi instructed Qing'er outside the sedan chair.

The team escorting Shen Mingxu set off an hour before him, but at this moment it was still outside the city, presumably Shen Mingxu used some means to deliberately wait for him here.

The sedan chair landed, and Su Wan got off the sedan chair in plain clothes and walked slowly towards Shen Mingxu's prisoner car.

The escorts were all Su Ziyou's subordinates, and seeing that it was Su Wanxi, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

In the prison car, Shen Mingxu was wearing a yellowed prison clothes, his hair was messy, and his beard was much deeper, like a homeless man on Lin'an Street.

"Lord Wang. Su Wanxi called lightly.

Shen Mingxu slowly opened his eyes, stared at Su Wanxi's beautiful face, and smiled stupidly: "I know, how could you really fall in love with me who is useless." ”

Su Wanxi's face was cold: "Lord Wang, so far, I have to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Mingxu was not happy or sad.

"You're just a pawn I used to get rid of the Queen. Su Wanxi hooked her lips and smiled.

Shen Mingxu frowned, and looked at Su Wanxi in disbelief: "It's impossible to ......" Shen Mingxu only felt that Su Wanxi had betrayed herself in order to live in the palace in peace, for her own glory and wealth, but he never thought that Su Wanxi's real purpose was to deal with the queen.

"The king won't know the truth that the sandpiper and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, right?" Su Wanxi said lightly.

Shen Mingxu looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief, he had been happy with his woman countless times, but now he was terrifyingly strange, as if he had never known this woman......

"What exactly do you want?" Shen Mingxu couldn't understand the woman in front of him at all. Now that she has been arrested, the queen has been deposed, but the new queen is Concubine Chen, and she, as the initiator, has retreated to the mountains?

Su Wanxi smiled coldly: "Soon you will know." With that, she turned and left.

"Su Wanxi!" Shen Mingxu called out to her emotionally.

But she never looked back, and went straight to the sedan chair.

Shen Mingxu looked at Su Wanxi's disappearing back in disappointment, stared blankly at Su Wanxi's sedan chair being lifted, and then went away in another direction, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

Su Wanxi...... Have you really never been sincere with me?

Shen Mingxu took a deep breath, he had done so much, and after all, nothing could change. Once, he also liked a woman, but in the eyes of that woman, there had never been such a concubine as him. In the end, that woman became Shen Jingyuan's crown princess. At that time, he secretly swore that he would take the country from Shen Jingyuan, so that the whole world would be his, let alone a woman.

He lingered in the flowers, but he couldn't let go of the woman in his heart, and it was not until he learned of the woman's death that he gradually despaired. Many years later, he accidentally met a woman named Su Wanxi, and at first he was amazed by her appearance, and he became obsessed with it and unforgettable.

One day, he suddenly received a letter from Su Wanxi, although he did not sign it, but he could feel between the lines that it was that woman. Su Wanxi's words, tone, smile, and back are exactly the same as the woman he loved when he was young......

Maybe love will be transferred, and if you fall in love with a woman, then the lovers you meet in the future will be the same as that woman.

In the sedan chair, Su Wanxi looked at Shen Mingxu's down-and-out appearance, but there was a little inexplicable sadness in her heart.

However, the road she wants to take is the road of no return, destined to step on thousands of dry bones......

Inexplicably, Su Wanxi remembered when she was a child. When I was a child, my father always liked to bring himself into the palace with him, and he had several friends in the palace.

It's been so long that many memories have blurred. Maybe it's because she uses all her memories to remember one person, so the image of the others fades......

For example, at that time, there was always a big brother who loved to bully him, and it seemed that he was the eldest prince today.

It's just that these things are insignificant compared to her deep love for Shen Jingyuan, and her previous memory, except for Shen Jingyuan, is still Shen Jingyuan......

Baolun Temple is on the top of the mountain outside Lin'an City, Su Ziyou and his entourage have already been waiting at the foot of the mountain, and when they saw Su Wanxi's team coming, they escorted her to the top of the mountain together.

The incense of Baolun Temple is prosperous, and there are many people who worship it, even if it is on the top of the mountain, it cannot stop the heart of worship. Baolun Temple enshrines the largest statue of Guanyin in Dongyang, and it is rumored that the Guanyin worshipping here is very effective, and almost responds to requests. That's why the Baolun Temple is full of incense.

The host knew that the concubine in the palace was coming, and he had already prepared the best wing room for Su Wanxi.

When Su Wanxi checked into the wing, it was already evening, and she was very tired from the exhaustion of the boat, so after bathing and changing clothes, she asked Qing'er and Qiulai to stay outside the door and fell asleep by herself.

She hadn't slept a single night in a long time, perhaps because she was far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and she slept unusually soundly. He didn't even dream, but he woke up the next morning.

The temperature on the mountain is low, and Su Wanxi added an extra piece of clothing after waking up in the morning, and then went to the side room to have breakfast with Su Ziyou.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Su Ziyou asked, he won't go down the mountain for the time being, waiting to arrange a stand-in and then take Su Wanxi to Heyang, because Su Ziyou is quite concerned about Su Wanxi's identity, that is also Feng Po's last wish before she died, and Feng Po died, so she should also tell the seventh master, after all, ......

"Good. Su Wanxi replied lightly.

"Your methods are very powerful, but why do you want to push the forgetfulness forward?" Su Ziyou asked, his tone flat.

"Yo, are you blaming me for putting your beloved Forget Worry in danger?" Su Wanxi asked funny, it seems that Su Ziyou still cares a lot about Concubine Chen, as long as this is the case, it will be much easier.

"Wanxi!" Su Ziyou glared at Su Wanxi angrily, her mind was not unaware, the person he loves now is her instead of forgetting her worries......! Yes, Su Ziyou gradually understood that Su Wanxi's heart may be a piece of dark iron, no one can move her, she only loves power, she only loves herself, she has never fallen in love with others.

"Okay, let's say it's okay, if you don't want to be a concubine, no, you're already a queen now. If you don't want her to be in danger, if you want her and her children to live safely, then help me. Su Wanxi's words were just asking, not threatening.

"I can put it down, why can't you?" asked Su Ziyou, twisting his eyebrows.

"Because you're cowardly, but I don't! Isn't it good for me to help you do what you can't do?" Su Wanxi hit Su Ziyou's heart.

Yes, it was he who was cowardly, he began to fear life and death, he enjoyed the feeling of being alive now, and he even began to like the peace and prosperity of the present world.

"Do you have to be satisfied with the people's livelihood?"

Su Wanxi sneered: "I don't have that much ability, don't worry, as long as you help me, there will be no blood, the country will not be in turmoil, everything will be taken for granted." ”

Su Ziyou just let out a long sigh and stopped talking.

He knew that whether he helped her or not, she was already on this path, and as long as she refused to let go, no one could persuade her......
