Concubine Yuan fell out of favor.

The next day, when the news came out of the palace, everyone was shocked. Especially the eldest lady in the Shen Mansion reacted the most violently, she couldn't believe that her daughter would be treated like this, her daughter was so beautiful and moving, and they were all in accordance with the queen's dignity in their dignified manners, why did they fall out of favor as soon as they entered the palace?

As soon as the Shen family inquired, they learned that it was Concubine Yuan who collided with Concubine Xi, the only pregnant concubine in the palace, that day, so that she ended up being disgusted by the emperor.

As for that Concubine Xi, behind her - isn't it the Xu family?

After learning the reason for the incident, the Shen family gritted their teeth with hatred.

"The Queen Mother is too careless." Shen Taisheng beat his chest. The eldest lady wiped her tears on the side, "Then our Zhuang Zhaoke still has a chance to regain favor?" ”

Shen Taisheng frowned, so he could only give up, "The emperor only rewarded our Shen family recently, and he will definitely not lose face, and the future affairs in the palace can only listen to the queen mother." ”

At this time, the entire Shen Mansion was still unknown to the upcoming Yiqiē.

At the same time, in front of the yamen, the slender jade feet of a plain-clothed woman stretched out from the carriage parked next to the stone lion, and then landed on the solid ground. She looked up at the plaque hanging on the official mansion a few times, her face was sad, she hesitated again and again, and finally picked up the drumstick and knocked it three times with all the strength of her thin body.

After three sounds, the official door opened, and the woman put her other hand on her stomach as if protective, holding her chaotic breath, waiting for the official inside to come out and ask.

When the official led the thin woman in, Tingwei was sitting in the public court, and the first glance suddenly faded, "Madam...... What are you doing here? ”

The woman knelt down directly and said in a very familiar manner: "My lord, the concubine is here to intercede for General Xiao!" ”

Tingwei stood up, "Madame, what are you talking about?" ”

She replied with unwavering eyes: "Concubine, there is evidence to prove that General Xiao is just an innocent person who has been wronged. The real murderer behind the scenes, there is someone else! ”

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and Tingwei nodded on his face to allow her to record, but in fact, his fingers behind his back were lightly pointed, and the powerful henchman turned around and immediately reported the news to the palace, the queen mother.

Eternal Longevity Hall.

After hearing Gao Dezhong's report, the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground, and Shen Shuzhao was also in a trance while tasting tea, and the water almost spilled out. "What you say is true?" The Queen Mother's palm clenched the armrest of the phoenix seat.

Gao Dezhong was resigned: "Back to the Queen Mother, it's indeed true...... The wife of Li Chong, the former secretary, has entered Beijing and is now in the yamen...... Prove the innocence of General Xiao Sima. ”

"How did she come in?" The Queen Mother was stunned. After Shen Shuzhao learned the news, he felt that it was really reasonable, and he didn't expect that it would be Li Chong's wife who finally proved General Xiao's innocence, and the emperor really had the intention to put the Shen family to death.

The Queen Mother then spoke: "Gao Dezhong, you go to the yamen to guard." Let Tingwei suppress this matter first, and he must order someone to interrogate the Li family carefully! ”

"The slave obeys."

This matter is a matter of importance, and Gao Dezhong does not dare to be sloppy. The Queen Mother stationed her henchmen directly in the yamen, and she didn't care about the emperor's current relationship at all.

Shen Shuzhao suddenly felt tightness in his chest, an indescribable heaviness.

The Queen Mother sat down on her seat, "Shuzhao, your eldest sister is completely useless." ”

Shen Shuzhao naturally knew the meaning, the emperor was calculating to the point of being like a fighter, how could the eldest sister be favored as she wished?

From the time she entered the palace as a concubine, it was just a smoke scene released by the emperor to appease the queen mother.

Accepting a concubine is just a move by Zhengzhì.

Even if it is a woman's most graceful years that are cut off.

"You go back." The Queen Mother was helped up by the female imperial chief, and it seems that she does not plan to let Shen Shuzhao interfere in the rest of the matter. After all, it is precisely because of the relationship between mother and son that this is not a matter that can be solved lightly.

Shen Shuzhao got up first and stopped the Queen Mother, "The courtiers have a reluctant request." ”

"What?" The Queen Mother turned around, Shen Shuzhao made up her mind and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, the courtiers want to go to the Yamen to see that Mrs. Li." ”

The Queen Mother chuckled, "What's the use of you seeing her?" ”

"The courtiers once said that the queen mother is the pillar of the Shen family, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. The courtiers are willing to live behind the queen mother to eradicate the traitors, and now it is the survival of the Shen family, how can you let the courtiers just avoid the limelight and pretend to turn a blind eye? ”

She spoke from the bottom of her heart.

There is no need to pretend either.

Even if the Shen family treated her like a soldier squeezing value in her previous life, in the face of real danger, she still had to face it hard.

"What is the way you go, the Li family is a person appointed by the emperor himself, and she will not change her words at will." At this time, the Queen Mother already understood the emperor's intention to regain power.

Shen Shuzhao didn't answer, but looked at her with pleading eyes.

Silence is better than sound.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and her eyes moved slightly, "The mourning family knows that you are a smart person, but this matter is different from the past, you have done so much for the mourning family, it's time to rest for a little day, just leave it to Gao Dezhong." The implication is that the Queen Mother doesn't want this matter to be intervened by a lady who has not left the cabinet.

But Shen Shuzhao in front of her, where is it as simple as a beautiful lady?

"Please." It was the first time for Shen Shuzhao to show such a resolute expression, she must have a chance...... Figuring out the ins and outs of this matter, the emperor can use means to frame the Shen family, but this is completely different from his previous life, where he has been recuperating for many years, and she must understand this kind of sudden advance.

The Queen Mother was moved by her gaze, and after a while, she was slightly relieved, "You can leave the palace." It's just that in the yamen, don't scare the snake lightly. ”

With permission, Shen Shuzhao closed her eyes and exhaled a long breath. She straightened her waist respectfully, and then bowed to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother frowned at her, her eyes were full of surprise, and so did the female imperial chief beside her.

The first worship, for Wei Yang.

She didn't know why Wei Yang was willing to sacrifice the Empress Dowager in exchange for the emperor's interests, but she knew that no matter which side she chose to stand on, it would be an inseparable pain for Wei Yang.

If the Queen Mother continues to cling to power and fight against the emperor, no matter whether she wins or loses, Wei Yang will not enjoy the taste of victory.

She only hopes that the Queen Mother can stop as soon as possible.

Bending the knee is for Wei Yang.

…… It's all for her.

The second worship is for the sake of the past life.

The bitter taste of the wine is still in her mouth, she committed suicide in the harem with a grudge, and after being reborn, she must return to the harem.

did everything in exchange for the Queen Mother and the Shen family, but in the end, she found out that she was just a chess piece she didn't care about, and the despair of being abandoned by the Shen family and the Queen Mother together, Shen Shuzhao will never forget it.

The third worship, for the Shen family.

The moment she kowtows and looks up, memories are constantly intertwined.

The heart suddenly seemed to be hit heavily, and Shen Shuzhao endured the heartache and expressed no difference.

I don't know what Wei Yang means by saying that he won't let her get hurt, the emperor is in charge, Shen Fu, the old lady, the father, the biological mother...... Will this qiē ever be the same as it was?

"Shuzhao, you are ......"

"Queen Mother," Shen Shuzhao raised his head suddenly, "You are the biological mother of the eldest princess, no matter what happens, please don't give up on her." For the eldest princess, you are the only mother, and now that the emperor is fighting with you for power, she is bound to be affected in it, what will happen in the future...... The courtiers beg you not to put her in a dilemma, and let your daughter not be embarrassed and hurt. ”

Please.

When the Queen Mother heard her mention Wei Yang, her eyes gradually softened, but this matter was too strict, and she was not yet fully sure, so she had to sigh: "The mourning family doesn't want her to be involved." ”

"The eldest princess is the bloodline of the Shen family and the royal family, and without her as a support, the courtiers are afraid that the situation of the Shen family will become precarious."

She said this, but she couldn't bear to say the word "loss" in her heart.

Because it's for her......

Too cruel.

The courtiers retired first. Queen Mother, for the sake of the Shen family, you must take care. Shen Shuzhao withdrew from the Yongshou Palace, leaving behind the Queen Mother who became melancholy in front of the phoenix seat.

Go and see Lee, without further ado.

As soon as Shen Shuzhao went out, he returned to Qinglian Pavilion and found Wang Xian.

"You go out of the palace with me, prepare a carriage and wait for me outside the palace gate." After she finished speaking, she went into the house to look for the tooth tag to leave the palace. Seeing that the second lady was in such a hurry, Huizhuang also followed her to pack her things.

When handing over the things, Huizhuang suddenly exclaimed: "Second Miss, why are your eyes red?" ”

"Huh?"

Shen Shuzhao looked sideways at the mirror on the small case, and her eyes were obviously red, which she didn't even realize herself.

But she didn't have the heart to care about these little things.

"It's just a little sleepy." Shen Shuzhao disguised, then took the clothes outside the palace and walked out alone.

She walked in the direction of the palace gate of Changle Palace, and a figure on the eaves of the palace stood up and watched her leave. Don't forget to see Shen Shuzhao's appearance, I don't know why, the second lady is going to leave the palace again, does it mean that the queen mother has any moves?

Although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess left herself here to watch Shen Shuzhao, I have to say that her whereabouts are really unpredictable, so it is better to go back and tell the eldest princess immediately. Don't forget to turn over and jump off the eaves, his slender figure was as light as a swallow, and disappeared into the palace in a blink of an eye.

It was very easy to get out of the palace to the yamen, Shen Shuzhao entered it and met the court captain who had several encounters with him before because of the investigation of the Xiao Mansion's forcible occupation of land. "How's she doing?" Shen Shuzhao asked as soon as they met.

"It's tricky." Tingwei shook his head, "In her hand, there is a suicide note written by Li Chong himself. ”

"Suicide note?" She couldn't hold back her surprise, "Could it be that Li Chong also wrote about the speculation that the Queen Mother sent assassins to murder him?" ”

"Hmm."

"Ridiculous, how can speculation be taken seriously?"

"Second Miss, you can come and take a look with this official and you will understand."
