"Slave and maid see the empress." Just now, Shen He had secretly sent someone to call Cangwu Lingxue's personal palace maid over, and he promised her that if he took the blame for the third princess, he would keep her family safe.

"Please don't wronged the third princess and the fourth princess, today's incident was done by me alone, the third princess really didn't know, as for the hairpin, I also forgot to insert it for the princess for a while."

When the palace maid said this, her eyes were full of determination to see death as home, and Cangwu Jingyi understood that Cangwu Lingxue was going to get the golden cicada out of her shell again today, but she still didn't give up and asked: "You have no grievances with your monarch, I don't believe that you are poisoned." ”

"Yes, the fourth princess." The palace maid sighed with tears in her eyes: "Slave maid...... In fact, he is very jealous of the nobleman, because the slave and maid are in love with the empress. ”

"Bold!" When the empress heard this, her face changed, and the palace maid thought that she had expected this result, so she didn't say any more, but only told the third princess to take good care of herself from now on, and suddenly touched the pillar with her head and died on the spot.

Cangwu Jingxue didn't have time to stop it, she only felt the warm blood spraying on her face, she actually knew that it was not so easy to bring down Cangwu Lingxue this time, she just wanted to give her a wake-up call, but she didn't expect to sacrifice an innocent person because of this, and at the same time, she also realized Shen He's viciousness, in order to achieve the goal, she could force an irrelevant person to die without any scruples.

Since the scapegoat was dead, the empress was unable to find any other evidence, and although she was spared from prison, she was still punished with twenty boards.

The people gradually dispersed, but the cangwu jingkite still stood in the hall for a long time and couldn't let go.

When the empress left, Shen Chen had already taken the antidote, but her face was still not good.

Cangwu Jingyuan sat at the head of the bed and wiped his face with a cloth towel dipped in water.

"How's it going?" Shen Chen barely smiled.

"The empress knew that the medicine was under Cangwu Lingxue, but under the double persuasion of Shen He and Lin Fangjun, in the end, she was only punished for the pain of flesh and skin."

Shen Chen didn't speak, looking at the flowers embroidered on the top of the tent.

"You already knew that this was the result, right, since you can't bring down Cangwu Lingxue, why do you hurt yourself to help me." Cangwu Jingyuan carefully wiped her fingertips for Shen Chen: "You don't know, I was frightened when I saw you like that just now, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you." ”

"Didn't I take an antidote?" Listening to Cangwu Jingkite's concern for himself, Shen Chen had a strange feeling in his heart, he was selfish, in addition to helping Cangwu Jingkite, there was another very important reason that he didn't want to sleep, but he wouldn't tell Cangwu Jingkite for this reason.

But it was said that Cangwu Lingxue had endured the twenty boards hard, she didn't scream, she didn't cry, she just bit her lip, she was different from Cangwu Jinxiu, she knew how to make the empress unbearable, and sure enough, when she hit the twelve boards, those who executed had already relaxed their strength, but Rao was so, Cangwu Lingxue was still in pain and died.

After the cane was over, the empress ordered the mother-in-law in her palace to take a soft load to carry her back, the two mothers-in-law were also headless and brainless people, they didn't know how to take the path, carried her around most of the palace, people who came and went were curious about who the tortured person was, and they couldn't help but peek, and when they saw that they were beaten by the three princesses who had always regarded themselves as talented women and were favored by the empress, they were all so surprised that they couldn't speak, Cangwu Lingxue was ashamed and painful, and simply buried her face in her arms.

As soon as she returned to her palace, Cangwu Lingxue asked people to pull the two mothers-in-law down and slap their mouths, she swept all the things within reach to the ground, and the people in the palace knelt in fear, in fact, Cangwu Lingxue's temper was not good, but she usually had to maintain a high appearance in front of people, and she had to be patient, but the palace maids in her palace knew that once the three princesses were not happy outside, they would suffer when they came back.

As soon as Cangwu Lingxue came back, she went to invite Shen He over, looking at Shen He with an inconsequential look, she didn't care about the relationship between the generations, and said with a sneer: "Isn't the imperial husband happy to see me like this, don't forget, you and I are people in the same boat, both glory and humiliation." ”

"What did the third princess say, if I didn't care about you, how could I intercede for you today." Cangwu Lingxue snorted from her nose.

"Does the princess know who did the harm to you today?"

Listening to Shen He's question, Cangwu Lingxue hated again: "Who else can there be, it is clearly Cangwu Jingji, it seems that we really underestimated her in the past, I didn't expect her to have such a good means, she couldn't cure her three times or twice, and she was beaten upside down, and what is even more hateful is that there is that Shenchen Shen Guijun, the mother emperor is dedicated to him." ”

Shen He remembered Shen Chen's nervous appearance when he was injured by the empress, and he was also jealous, he thought for a while and said, "Third Princess, according to the current situation, with only you and me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with Cangwu Jingkite, we need to change our strategy." ”

"That's right." Cangwu Lingxue also calmed down: "The top priority now is to bring in a force that can compete with Cangwu Jingyu. After speaking, she turned her head slightly and said to Shen He: "Shen Huangfu, don't you have a whole Shen family behind you, how about using the power of the Shen family?" ”

Shen He didn't agree immediately, a clever hunter, in addition to being able to catch prey, also knows how to leave a way back for himself, he is considering whether Cangwu Lingxue's mention of yì will do more harm than harm to himself or harm more than good. He felt that since those things happened, the empress had been faintly suspicious of the Shen family and himself, and he had recently used the Shen family too often to suppress the empress, which had aroused her disgust.

Then take a gamble, Shen He agreed to Cangwu Lingxue's mention and returned to his palace.

On this day, Shen He called Shen Ye into the palace and called it Xulao.

"The Imperial Husband." Shen Ye didn't know what Shen He specially called him over for today, so he called him like he usually saw him in the palace.

"Why are you so angry, come here." Shen He turned his head, with a faint smile on his face, he handed the flower scissors to the eunuch next to him, and asked Shen He to sit down and drink tea with him.

"What is the matter with my uncle coming to me today?" Shen Ye guessed what Shen He meant, and sat down carefully, Shen He was in a much better mood because of this title, and he poured a cup of tea for Shen Ye:

"Ye'er is not young this year, is she, do you have a crush on anyone's daughter?"

Shen Ye's heart tightened, but he still said quietly: "Shen Ye only wants to work hard to learn the art of war and strategy now, and be loyal to Cangwu in the future, and he really has no time to take care of his children's affection." ”

"Just say these words to outsiders, I'm your uncle, do you even want to hide it from me?"

Shen Ye didn't speak, Shen He picked up the cup and smelled the tea, and continued: "As a soldier, you should fight for the country, but it is also very important to start a family. ”

"How dare my nephew worry about my uncle's marriage, it's really torturous for my nephew."

Listening to Shen Ye's unkind answer, Shen He frowned slightly, but still said patiently: "Don't be shy, I have a ready-made good thing on hand now, your cousin is beautiful, talented, and very favored by the empress, why don't I marry the two of you, and I can be worthy of you, how about it." ”

"Please take back the royal husband's fate." Shen Ye understood, he immediately got up and knelt on the ground.

"Shen Ye, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Imperial husband, the eldest princess and I are cousins and brothers, and we are related by blood, if I marry the eldest princess, I am afraid it will be contrary to human ethics."

"It doesn't matter." Hearing this reason, Shen Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The law does not prohibit relatives from getting married, and examples of apparent relatives getting married also abound, so you don't have to worry about it." Shen Ye, please come. ”

But Shen Ye still insisted on kneeling: "The emperor, please forgive Shen Ye for being difficult to obey." ”

"What, do you think that my daughter Shen He, the dignified eldest princess, is not worthy of you?" Shen He's voice had turned cold.

"The royal husband misunderstood, it's not that the eldest princess can't deserve me, it's that I don't deserve the eldest princess, Shen Ye's qualifications are mediocre, and there are many shortcomings, the eldest princess is both talented and beautiful, she is really a dragon and phoenix among people, and she can definitely find a son-in-law who is better than Shen Ye."

"Speaking of which, it's right that you just don't want to marry Jinxiu." Shen Ye slapped the stone table hard, and said angrily: "Shen Ye, if you don't obey the order, you will be killed, don't think that you are my nephew and can mess around, if you don't give me a convincing reason today, I will still ask the empress to marry you." If you can convince me that I can still let you go, you have to think about it, I'll only give you one chance. ”

"Is the emperor's words true?" Shen Ye thought that he couldn't escape today, so he gritted his teeth and said that he liked Cangwu Jingkite.

Shen He almost wanted to kill Shen Ye for a moment, it was Cangwu Jing Kite again, and Cangwu Jing Kite, why did everyone choose Cangwu Jing Kite.

"Can this answer satisfy the royal husband?" Shen He saw that Shen Ye's words also had a faint toughness, thinking that he would have to rely on him and his mother in the future, so he had to be upset and let him retreat first.

"Father!" As soon as Shen Ye left, Cangwu Jinxiu, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, was so angry that he cried: "He actually, he actually dared not marry me." Why is it Cangwu Jing Kite, why is it her, she is a vixen! ”

"Be quiet." Shen He covered his daughter's uncovered mouth, and although Cangwu Jinxiu was silent, she still made a sobbing sound unwillingly.

"Don't worry, it's yours, no one can take it away." Shen He's eyes looked fiercely at the direction Shen Ye left, and a poisonous plan gradually formed in his heart.

In the evening, Shen He sent someone to invite Shen Ye into the palace, Shen Xiao didn't know about it, only when the two had something important to discuss, Shen Ye thought that Shen He still had to rely on the Shen family, and he shouldn't do anything to himself, so he entered the palace, but he followed the guidance of the palace people into the inner hall, but found that Shen He was not there, only Cangwu Jinxiu was wearing a tulle skirt with a small dew shoulder and smiling at him.
