Even though Shen Jiayi had been mentally prepared before coming, she was still shocked when she heard Jin Zheng say this, could it be that the reason why she entered the palace was really not as she thought? She looked at Jin Zheng for a while and shook her head: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he laughed, how can I let the prince clear such a crime." The crime of killing the monarch is not something that I can control as a harem concubine. ”

Jin Zheng didn't want to talk nonsense, and said: "Since Niangniang has already gone to the appointment, it means that she already has a plan in her heart, so why do you want to play Tai Chi with me like this?" ”

"The Shen family sent me to Junshang's side, just to serve Junshang. I don't believe there's anything going on. Shen Jiayi's eyes narrowed dangerously in the dark, "If the prince wants to make up a lie and deceive me, I'm afraid it will be easy to be exposed." ”

Jin Zheng knew that this was her temptation, and said with a sneer: "Mingren doesn't say dark words. I used to be confused, pinched in the hands of others without knowing it, but I didn't expect that you and I were also a poor worm, living in the sweet dreams that I made for myself, and being used by others to remember the good of others! ”

Shen Jiayi's face changed slightly: "What does the prince mean by this?" ”

The prince was actually very anxious in his heart, but he had to be patient and deal with Concubine Yi, he said: "Concubine Yi, about my affairs, Niangniang has a good plan?" If my mother can help me get out of this predicament, I should know everything. ”

Shen Jiayi was silent for a moment, and took out two porcelain bottles, one green and one white, from her sleeve, "In the green bottle, after taking it, my body is stiff, I can't move or speak, but my mind is clear, and I can hear the movement around me. In the white bottle, it is the antidote. Shen Jiayi rubbed the bottle and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still satisfied?" ”

Jin Zheng thought carefully about what Shen Jiayi said, this seems to be equivalent to pretending to be sick, but it can confuse the public to a large extent, and there is indeed a reason for the 'crazy demon' before him, and his father may use this matter to involve some people and kill people with a knife...... Father is not so easy to fool...... But as long as he can make the people of the world feel that he is framed, he must find a breakthrough, so that he is under house arrest here, and he can only be blackened and slaughtered. These thoughts turned in his mind, and he said, "In that case, I will tell you everything I know, but there are many things that I don't know in detail, and it depends on the mother herself whether you believe it or not." ”

Shen Jiayi put the two small porcelain bottles on the table beside her, she clenched the handkerchief tightly, and quietly wiped the sweat from her palms. Jin Zheng glanced at her movements and said, "The death of Empress Shen is a conspiracy jointly promoted by my father, the emperor, and the Shen family. ”

"What did you say?" Concubine Yi couldn't believe her ears, could it be that she heard it wrong? Of course she knows that the monarch is the same as Concubine De's childhood sweetheart, and Concubine De's death seems to be related to Queen Shen, if the monarch wants to kill Empress Shen in order to avenge Concubine De, why did the Shen family harm Empress Shen? "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince joking?"

"Heh......" Jin Zheng said disdainfully: "You think you are the Shen family, so you believe that Shen Hao's old guy is defenseless, sooner or later you will be betrayed by them and there will be no ashes left." It is said that how shrewd the women of the Shen family are, in my opinion, it is just a trick of the back house, and the only few characters in the Shen family, Shen Hao, Shen Wenhan, and Shen Yuan are not easy to get along with, they have enough patience to deal with the prey, and they can plan for ten or twenty years for a purpose. ”

"According to His Royal Highness's words, Empress Shen has almost become a dispensable person to the Shen family, no matter how you look at it, it is very ridiculous! Since ancient times, there has been no woman in the harem who is vying for the top position, whether it is because of the family or because of herself, she will do everything for the throne, are these people all fools! ”

"Niangniang, don't forget, the Shen family's Xuanhe back then was far beyond reach now, and at that time, the Shen family was unsealed, and there was no reward. If you keep a powerful woman like Empress Shen, if you are a king, are you willing to have such a family haunted by you? Jin Zheng grinned in amazement, "So the Shen family's original purpose in sending Empress Shen into the palace was to let the Shen family have a 'dead queen'!" ”

"Dead Queen......" Shen Jiayi's hand couldn't stop trembling.

"That's right, a 'dead queen' can not only show the honor of the Shen family, but also make the Shen family not enough to become a relative, the Shen family and the king are safe, this is the purpose of sending Queen Shen into the palace. What a chance encounter, what a coincidence, but it was arranged a long time ago. Jin Zheng admired Shen Jiayi's gaffe, and said almost cruelly: "I think Shen Hao's old fox has already planned it, he knows that the king has been jealous of the Shen family, so he has already made plans in his heart." Presumably you also know that Empress Shen is not the daughter of the Shen family, so in this way, Empress Shen has nothing to do with anyone in the Shen family, so no one will object and pursue it! ”

Shen Jiayi felt that her breath was stagnant. "Then, the true identity of this Empress Shen...... Who exactly? ”

"I don't know...... Maybe I found the orphan girl somewhere. Jin Zheng shook his head and said indifferently. It's a pity that my father was too careless. There are also times when she miscalculates, this Queen Shen not only has a beautiful face, her methods are powerful and scheming. After entering the palace, she quickly noticed that something was wrong, she used the identity of the queen to crush Concubine Hui to death, and befriended Concubine De, maybe there were other reasons that we didn't know at the time, in short, the father did not deal with Empress Shen in time. It wasn't until Concubine De died inexplicably that he suddenly woke up, but unfortunately it was too late! ”

"So......" Shen Jiayi's mind was mixed, and the inside information she knew was mixed with the information that the prince said at this time, and she couldn't calm down at all. So the king planned all this with his own hands, and wanted to burn their mother and son to death on the night of Queen Shen's birth? ”

"It is certain that the king has a murderous intent, and Queen Shen is also bound to die, as for who did it, it is unknown, I believe that such a big movement, Concubine Hui will not know." Jin Yao seemed to appreciate this scene very much, and said: "Although the Shen family is automatically declining, and with the temperament of the king, it is impossible to be completely assured, and the Shen family has been suppressed intentionally or unintentionally over the years, so the Shen family has become the current situation on the surface. But you and I both know that the Shen family will never do nothing behind their backs, and of course your lord knows it. ”

Shen Jiayi finally understood what Jin Yao wanted to express, and she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly. "You mean, the Shen family doesn't want any queen at all? The king will not allow the Shen family to have another queen? ”

"You finally get the idea. This is also the reason why no one is afraid of whether you will give birth to a prince or a princess. That's why I can tell you all about it. Jin Yao suddenly felt that he was not the most pitiful, and his heart became more and more relaxed, "You think that there is a behemoth of the Shen family standing behind you, hehehe...... In reality, you have nothing but yourself. ”

Shen Jiayi was shocked and frowned, "Impossible...... If so, why do you have to send me into the palace in every possible way? ”

"Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me, this is a deal, I just told you everything I know, the Shen family has been dealing with me for many years, since they want to win my trust, it is impossible to hide everything from me. As for the purpose of sending you to the palace, first, they want you to be by my father's side all day long, and remind him all the time that the Shen family took the initiative to sacrifice Empress Shen for the sake of the stability of the court, so that my father and emperor could think twice about the Shen family's magnanimity. Second, maybe it's just a trick, in order to confuse others and make others feel that the hope of the Shen family is pinned on you and your children, and there is no other plan or chance of winning. "Jin Zheng is unplanned, but he is not stupid." As for why you...... You can go and look for a portrait of Empress Shen back then, maybe you can find the answer from it. ”

When Shen Jiayi heard this, she suddenly wanted to laugh, she really felt that she wanted to laugh, was it a joke? Obviously not...... Portrait of Empress Shen? Why did she know the answer when she saw it? Could it be that she is really similar to Empress Shen? She glanced at the pair of porcelain vases on the table, put the cloak back on, and the wide hood covered her face: "Thank you, Your Highness the Prince...... Take care! ”

Shen Jiayi returned to the Jinhuan Palace quietly, and lay back on the couch to quietly ponder what she heard today. Without noticing, Qiu Ying, who had retreated, dodged and went in the other direction.

The sky was blue and white, and the clouds were sparse. In the dark alleys of the western city, a private house is brightly lit, and the sides of the low house, together with the wooden shelves leaning against the wall, are filled with all kinds of large or small, rough, or delicate clay pots and porcelain vases, all the candles around the table are only a short section of burning, and at the bottom of the candles, there is a thick layer of candle tears. A shriveled old man made it in the middle of the room, with all kinds of grinding utensils piled up at his feet, and some plant flowers and rhizomes at hand. The old man sniffed the herbs steamed in the clay pot and muttered, "If there is anything in this world that has cruelty and compassion at the same time...... That's it......"

A little boy walked out of the cubicle, holding a thumb-sized green jade vial in his hand, his description was as thin as the old black head, but his eyes were extremely bright and weird, hehe laughed a few times, and said: "Old black head, this medicine is made!" ”

The old man didn't care about the name of the little boy, took the green jade bottle from his hand, and filled the filtered purple-black juice into the bottle. "Get some ice pith grass juice." The little boy did so excitedly, and the old black head dripped the blue ice pith grass juice into it, and the purple-black viscous juice suddenly became clear, and he laughed a few times: "This last medicine, I've been waiting for seventeen years......
