Cui Sexuan is not far from this place, and Buyu turned left and right, and soon came to the secluded garden. The first thing Shen Zhuangzhao did after coming down was to order his entourage to retreat, and let one of the maidservants brought by the house stay guarded, and one of them took care of the wind near the place where he went.

In the deepest part of the Emerald Xuan, under the colorful osmanthus flowers, Queen Xiao Mengru has been waiting for a long time. Shen Zhuangzhao felt the tension of oppression, but this was an invitation for them, how could he want to retreat because of this woman's strong aura? She Shen Zhuangzhao is also the eldest daughter of the four surnames who are on an equal footing with her, although Xiao Mengru is the queen of the mother of a country, but she has an aunt who is the queen mother in power! When I think about it this way, I am full of confidence.

Shen Zhuang Zhao walked over arrogantly, the queen did not look at her squarely, still staring into the distance, she couldn't help coughing a few times, the queen slowly turned her head, but she was not surprised by her appearance. "I'm coming." Shen Zhuangzhao gritted his teeth and said.

The queen raised her hand and sat opposite her in frustration, quite a guest of honor, Shen Zhuangzhao was puzzled, didn't we both just arrive, but in the face of the queen's bully demeanor, she couldn't refuse, so she sat down awkwardly, and asked in the first sentence: "What are you going to do?" ”

"You look impatient."

"This matter is about my sister-in-law, and you only mentioned something to discuss when you ordered the order last night, and I noticed from your words this morning that you mentioned going to the palace temple three times and twice to copy the scriptures, and I know that you will never say meaningless words, what do you want to do?"

The queen was slightly surprised, and her thin eyebrows were raised, but she was not figured out because of her behavior, but by Shen Zhuangzhao. Shen Zhuang Zhao saw her like this, his face was a little proud, and he didn't mean that he was not stupid, who would have thought that the queen's next words would make her so angry that she wanted to vomit blood-"However, this palace doesn't want to sue you." ”

"You ......" Shen Zhuangzhao didn't expect that the oath before the alliance was thrown out of the clouds on the first day of the meeting, she stared at the queen fiercely, and the queen looked annoyed with admiration. This is a complete lie! Shen Zhuangzhao thought in his heart, the Xiao family really didn't have a good thing!

"Want to know why?" The queen's face was cold, and her eyes were cold, "That's because, in front of the queen of the current dynasty, you don't even have an honorific title for a concubine, and you are not in a proper manner." Shen Zhuangzhao was dumbfounded. The queen snorted coldly, and said: "Concubine Xi doesn't dare to do this, you have only been in the palace for four or five months, so you don't know the etiquette, if it weren't for the alliance, do you think the palace will easily let you go today?" ”

"Although I am a concubine, it is clear that I am in name only, and I will not compete for favor in the future, I am me, you are you, why do you call yourself a concubine?" Shen Zhuangzhao knew that he was arrogant and thought too well, but she was not a rival with her, and she was scolded by someone who was only three years older, how could she endure it when she was young and vigorous, so she refuted it, and the queen immediately got up after hearing this, "This palace doesn't need to know if you want to go in the future." ”

Only then did Shen Zhuangzhao know that he was eager, "Wait!" ”

Back.

Waited for two or three seconds.

Seeing that she had no words, the queen threw up her sleeves and left without hesitation.

An unwilling voice sounded faintly:

"I see. The queen and queen. ”

It's the limit to what you can say. admitted her identity, but did not admit the monarch, after all, she had an aunt of the queen mother, and the relationship between Xiao and Shen was so bad, the queen knew this well, so she sat back again.

Shen Zhuangzhao complained silently, the queen has too much queen baggage, she is already inseparable from the Shen Mansion, I think I should also know that the queen mother will call each other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with etiquette when she meets in private? Concubine Xi is because she is fighting for favor and hating her enemies, which onion is the Xu family in front of the four surnames?

"I said, can the queen tell me the plan now?"

"There have been clear hierarchies throughout the ages, concubines are different, and the imperial city is especially harsh, can you just say a queen?"

Do you still want her to call herself a concubine? Shen Zhuangzhao's anger rose, the last thing she wanted was to admit that she was a concubine. So she slapped her palm heavily on the stone table, "Don't be too aggressive!" ”

"That's it." The queen narrowed her narrow autumn eyes, and her indifferent tone ended the dispute with just two words. "The pungent and proud nature of the women of the Shen Mansion has been appreciated countless times in this palace, and so is the Empress Dowager Shen, and so are you. The palace doesn't care deeply, so it's important to talk about business. ”

Shen Zhuangzhao was angry when he heard this, he was secretly saying that the women of their Shen family were not good-tempered? She couldn't help but feel ridiculous when she was accused of being accused of being a daughter who had been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and it was the kind of smile that couldn't be laughed on her face.

"If the Xiao Mansion teaches your temperament well, there will be no rumors in the palace that you are as ruthless as Empress Lu." Before she could blurt out her words, the queen diverted the topic and said: "There is a reason why the palace has repeatedly mentioned Concubine Li Rou this morning. ”

"What is the reason?" Shen Zhuangzhao suddenly forgot the reply he had just choked back.

"The cause of her death can be closely related to it."

This person who became taboo in Changle Palace as soon as he mentioned his name, Shen Zhuangzhao naturally didn't know the detailed reason, she couldn't wait to lean over and ask, "What?" ”

The queen raised her head and asked condescendingly, "You don't know?" ”

The opposite side defaulted.

"It's not surprising. People are the white silk she gave her, how can she tell you the bloody things of innocent lives that have been contaminated in her hands, and make you feel that she is terrible? ”

"Innocent? What do you mean......"

"Hmm." The queen looked at her with a playful look, "If you don't believe it, you can test the emperor." Otherwise, why doesn't she even want to tell you about the death of a woman who angers the palace rules, why does her name make the old concubines in the palace change their color, and why does Concubine Yan only say goodbye to her favor-grabbing sex? It is precisely because of the fact that people die - it is not clear. ”

"You mean that the Queen Mother framed a favorite concubine to death?" Shen Zhuangzhao looked at the queen's posture and replied with a sneer, "I don't know what you mean by saying these words, the queen mother is my aunt, a blood relative, do you want me to break her trust?" ”

"What you think has nothing to do with Hongu. Hongu is just stating the truth. ”

"What is the connection between Li Roufei's death and Shen Shuzhao?"

"She's ......," the autumn wind struck, dyeing the queen's extended voice with a bit of emotion, "she died because she was framed for using emotional wine." ”

Shen Zhuangzhao knew the reason as soon as she heard it, and she sternly got up, "Do you want Shen Shuzhao to be the same as her?" ”

"In the past, the Shen family used the next means spread in the land of fireworks outside the palace to bury the lives of the concubines from the innocent official family, and now they use the same method to treat the people she values, how can it not be happy?"

"She broke the palace rules, and she was guilty of it, and it was the Shen family who was affected."

"So this palace has also made arrangements for you this time, the four concubines lead by example, and they are the hardest in copying scriptures, and you are praised by your family, quiet by nature, and reverence for pro-Buddha; She also used the palace to pass the forbidden objects in the palace, isn't it obvious about this? ”

"Before making a decision, you should consult with me. Otherwise, how would I know if you have set me a trap? ”

"Oh," the Empress said coldly in the face of Shen Zhuangzhao's questioning, "This palace thinks that even if I tell you first, you will agree after many days of repeated thinking." ”

Shen Zhuangzhao was once again angry and annoyed, what was going on with this commanding tone, her face was red, and she almost wanted to drip blood, "You dislike me so much that you don't have enough scheming, why do you want to form an alliance with me?" ”

"Because only you are the eldest daughter of the Shen family."

"I still have something to do, go first."

She lifted her feet and turned to leave, faster and more decisive than the cold wind, and only eight or nine steps down from the stone steps outside the pavilion, she heard the leisurely voice of the queen behind her: "It's a pity that you can't go." ”

Can't go?

The Empress Dowager of the Deep Palace is my aunt, and I can't leave?

Shen Zhuangzhao didn't look back, he walked away, and two masked black-clothed people suddenly rushed out from in front of the osmanthus forest, Shen Zhuangzhao was from a famous family, and she quickly recognized at a glance that these people were dead soldiers, and they were usually raised by the side of the family. The two men had cruel eyes and stretched out their hands to block her way out.

"This is the guard next to the palace, if you leave, they will not let you go."

Shen Zhuangzhao felt unprecedented pressure for the first time, although she knew that she would not die at this time, but the killer temperament of the two in front of her still made her scalp tingle.

"Xiao Mengru ......" she was so angry that she began to tremble, turned around, and scolded the queen who was sitting leisurely in the pavilion watching the play: "I am the eldest daughter of the Shen Mansion of the Chaowang clan, you dare to do it to me in this way?" Tricked me into coming to this remote place to do murder against me? Shameless! Vile! Beast! ”

After scolding angrily, he began to feel weak, Shen Zhuangzhao has never mentioned these words at all since he was a child, and he has never mentioned these words under the teaching of famous ladies, just like ten fingers do not touch the spring water, the queen should not have heard others scold her like this, it's bad, won't the eldest daughter of the Xiao family be really angry? She was a little apprehensive, the reputation of Empress Lu was by no means groundless, so did she have to experience it once today? But she didn't think that this reputation was actually rumored by the Queen Mother, and the queen was elected as the main room of the Son of Heaven early.

"Concubine Yuan, you have listened to everything that this palace has said, how can you let you leave if you want?"

"The people of the Xiao family can't be trusted."

"The temper of the Shen family is not very good."

“……”

After staying, Shen Zhuangzhao kept a distance of four steps from the empress, so she didn't want to sit opposite her. The queen began to be serious, and Fang Cai's expression disappeared without a trace, leaving only caution, "What Bengong is going to say next is what Bengong has always felt strange and incomprehensible. Shen Shuzhao is not an ordinary person, and only by using a foolproof method can she completely disappear from the world...... must not let her know the flaws, otherwise, with her city government, maybe she will rebel against you and me. ”

Shen Zhuang Zhao saw her frowning and thinking seriously, and her anger gradually calmed down, she looked at the queen and replied, "Don't worry, I won't let her have a trace." ”
