Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of foresight, and said: "There is a difference between the concubines, she is not worthy." ”

Xiao Zhuru replied: "Daddy, it's just a concubine who was married, what does it matter if you don't have a concubine?" As long as she has the blood of the Shen family in her body, it is enough. Shen Taisheng's concubine can be General Sima's concubine, why is she not satisfied? ”

At this time, a call came from elsewhere, and the Xiao father and son turned around, and it was the close ministers around the emperor who were calling them over. The two of them glanced at each other, buried everything they had just talked about in their hearts, and then walked towards the young emperor with a jade smile on his face.

The state banquet in June made the whole Ganquan Palace harmonious, and all the ministers and soldiers gathered together to drink and talk, but the atmosphere of Changle Palace in the distant mountains seemed extremely depressed.

The Queen Mother sighed and sat on the Jiufeng Chaoyang Seat, Shen Shuzhao took out the bamboo scroll and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty, the courtier took the initiative to go to the prison to get an important thing today, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive her sins." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the scroll in her hand and said, "You actually went to investigate this matter." After speaking, she laughed at herself again: "You just called the mourning family His Majesty? Interesting, since the emperor changed the palace system a year ago and received the jade seal given to the mourning family by the first emperor, the mourning family has not heard anyone call it like this for a long time, so you won't call it the title of mourning family in the future. ”

Wei Yang listened to the slight bad color, Shen Shuzhao knew in her heart what kind of ambitious woman the Queen Mother was, and she was still nostalgic for the glorious days when she once held the imperial treasure of the first emperor and listened to the government, so she continued: "It is really inappropriate for the courtiers to think that General Xiao is still burdened with murder and has been named General Sima. ”

"Wrong? It won't help if there is anything wrong, the emperor has already ordered Tingwei to close the case. ”

"Does the Queen Mother want to reopen the case for the unfortunate Lord Liu San?"

The Queen Mother said, "What do you think?" ”

"The courtiers are just humble in their opinions, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me for what I said below. Two years ago, General Xiao was arrogant and domineering, and actually took the life of Liu Guannei Hou by such despicable means, but at that time, the northern Xiongnu were eyeing the land of the Central Plains, and it was when the generals were used, the emperor was only a new monarch, and he was on the throne for the first time, and the regime in the court was unstable, so the Xiao family was able to fight with the guilt. But now that the emperor's power is gradually stabilizing, he is no longer the young eighteen young man of the past, he is supporting his own power, so the Xiao family's power to cover the sky in the court is bound to become the biggest obstacle. Today is the Xiao family laughing, and tomorrow the last laugh may be you, the Queen Mother! ”

The Queen Mother leaned back, closed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Respect the virtuous and empower, believe in loyalty and accept advice, so it is for peace." When he ...... today Since he was a child, the mourning family knew that he had the overall situation in mind and made good use of the Magi, and he would not stay with the Xiao family for too long. ”

Shen Shuzhao said: "Since the Queen Mother knows that the enemy is about to fall, then she just needs to speed up the speed of their own destruction." ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother thought for a while, and at this time, Gao Dezhong ran in hurriedly outside the door, and he said something in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother's face suddenly changed greatly, which made Shen Shuzhao and Wei Yang look at each other.

The Queen Mother looked at them and said word by word: "Li Chong is dead." ”

Dead-?

Shen Shuzhao was stunned, she thought that Li Chong was still a person with a daughter, and immediately asked, "How did you die?" ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said in a deep tone: "This poor man, it should be that the horse accidentally slipped and tripped in the rain when passing through Jingzhou, so that he fell down the mountain with the person and the cart. ”

What a destiny!

Shen Shuzhao shouted so in his heart.

And the Queen Mother looked at her, her eyes became colder and colder: "Shuzhao, what should the mourning family do next?" ”

Shen Shuzhao came back to his senses and asked softly: "Then what about him...... How are your family? ”

"The spies said they didn't find the bodies of his wife and child."

"Okay......" she lowered her head, now that life is gone! That means that a qiē is destined! She finally ruthlessly bowed her head and said: "The courtier girl will ask the queen mother to take Li Chong, body, head, difference, and place." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes were grim: "You go on." ”

She raised her head and looked directly at the Queen Mother. Speculation, suspicion, viciousness, silence, concealment, and ambition were staged in turn between the lines of sight, and after a while, Shen Shuzhao said in a daze: "What the Xiao family did two years ago, what the Queen Mother will do now, it is not impossible to concoct a tragedy of Hou Liu San in Guannei again!" It's just this time, at any cost, to bring the Xiao family's suspicions to the fore! A few days ago, the courtiers visited the literati Yan Han Mountain, as long as the Queen Mother made a sad appearance, they could write a series of literary poems for the Queen Mother, praising the world. At the same time, the courtiers here implore the queen mother to give a chance to leave the palace, Zhen Shangze, a wealthy businessman in the capital, opened a lot of teahouses, if someone for the queen mother's regret and Li Chongzhi's death suspicions made up a paragraph to spread among the people...... The queen mother, the courtiers only know who is the monarch who dominates the voice of the people, who wins the world, if everyone in the entire capital knows a virtuous and sensible queen mother, who is grief-stricken for the loss of good ministers for the country, who does not say that the country is hopeful? If the whole capital knew that this good minister was a traitor, and his desolate body was in the wilderness, who would not be angry? ”

"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother got up, her face was heavy, "You are worthy of being the daughter of the Shen family." Shuzhao, you are a natural strategist. ”

Shen Shuzhao lowered her head humbly, but the Queen Mother smiled: "Because of this, the mourning family is reluctant to let you leave the harem, just being a lady is too wronged by you." ”

Then she left the phoenix seat, walked down the short steps step by step, and stopped in front of Shen Shuzhao: "Compared to your eldest sister, you are more suitable for the palace." ”

"The courtiers didn't think anything about the position of the eldest sister." Shen Shuzhao hurriedly said.

The Queen Mother turned around: "Strange, strange." Anyone who comes to the mourning family has a request for the mourning family, but you, as the niece of the mourning family, but you don't ask for anything, don't you have anything to want? ”

When Shen Shuzhao heard this, she secretly glanced at Wei Yang, who was kneeling beside her. The man was silently looking at the ground, his soft side face like a clear fu, and her unforgettable eyes made her heart flutter at a glance.

What the courtiers want......

It's her.

"The following matters," said the Queen Mother, "will do as you say." In a few days' mourning family's birthday banquet, you have to keep up with your eldest sister at all times. Stand down, Wei Yang stays. ”

"Yes, the courtiers are retired."

Shen Shuzhao walked out honestly.

Behind her, the Queen Mother has a complicated gaze.

A door closed, the light gradually closed, leaving the Queen Mother and the kneeling Wei Yang in the dark, and finally the door was closed, and Shen Shuzhao could no longer know what to say inside.

Behind the Queen Mother, the female imperial chief watched Shen Shuzhao walk away, and her back was in a cold sweat. Li Chong had long been separated from his head and body, and he didn't know who he died under the knife, but the Queen Mother didn't say so......

She guided Miss Shen Er to say these words step by step, until she said all the strategies, those strategies that the Queen Mother herself knew how to do. The female imperial chief took a deep breath, and the queen mother ...... Sure enough, I still don't trust anyone. Today, the second lady's plan was successful, if the plan failed one day, would the second miss be ruthlessly pushed out by the queen mother?

It is said that a companion is like a tiger.

The Queen Mother - never trusted anyone.

It's night again, a new day has been turned over, the Queen Mother's Changle Palace, the Queen's Changxin Palace, Shen Mansion, Xiao Mansion, are all waiting for a birthday banquet full of unknowns......
