"In the opinion of the slave, the second lady is a very talented schemer, and it is natural that she can do this."

After the female imperial chief finished speaking, the Queen Mother replied lightly: "This is not good. ”

Hearing the Queen Mother's tone, the female imperial chief couldn't help but be suddenly shocked in her heart, and then the Queen Mother continued to say in a cold voice: "She has too much, then- what is left of Zhuang Zhao?" ”

The female chief was silent for a moment.

The Queen Mother's eyes were half closed, her fingertips pointed on the hard table, and she said thoughtfully: "Who can't guarantee that one day she won't use these things to replace Zhuang Zhao?" ”

The female imperial chief was speechless when asked, ordinary people only knew that Shen Shuzhao's ability was strong and could be used for it, but the queen mother considered this matter more carefully and thoughtfully, and looked at any possibility in the long run from the perspective of the ruler of the Shen family.

"The mourning family asked Kunyi to go with her tomorrow just to watch her, in fact...... No matter whether she marries a noble relative or becomes a princess in the future, as long as there is no dissent, the mourning family can protect her for a lifetime. But if she has other thoughts like the third lady, the mourning family will immediately take back all the qiē given to her. ”

The Queen Mother said ruthlessly, as if she was not discussing her niece, but just some pawns that could be used.

The female imperial chief did not answer, and the appointment and abandonment, trust and suspicion, in the face of the interests of these royal families, were only a matter of a moment.

The second young lady was suspected not because she was unfaithful, but because she was too strong, powerful enough to pose a threat to her peers, so the queen mother could not fully trust her.

Moreover, the second lady has not revealed any ambitions so far.

People who don't know what they want are the most terrible than those who clearly understand what the other person wants.

The Queen Mother has been thinking about the Shen family in the court and harem for many years, so this precautionary action is not unreasonable.

"It would be nice if it was a concubine."

In the end, she could only say so regretfully.

As for outside the Yongshou Palace, Shen Shuzhao naturally didn't know what the Queen Mother said after leaving the cabinet, but from the Queen Mother's intentional or unintentional temptation just now, she was keenly aware of the Queen Mother's suspicions.

Walking on the promenade, the place where she walked was only bright where the lantern was lit, but in the corner of the back that people couldn't see, it was still as dark as ever.

The more Shen Shuzhao walked towards the end of the deserted corridor, the more her lips rose a point.

Recalling the Queen Mother's playful words, at this moment she is even more convinced that everything she has done today is necessary.

After the letter to Xiao Fu that she wrote by herself in the morning, she sent Wang Xian to inquire about the news from Gao Dezhong. After learning that the Queen Mother and himself had no time to deal with the affairs of Qinglian Pavilion today, Shen Shuzhao immediately made a decision - she wanted to leave the palace.

Walking out of the main gate of the nine-fold palace, she got into the carriage with a plain curtain.

Taking advantage of the gray morning, she relied on the memories of her previous life with the Empress Dowager who listened to the government through the curtain, and her intimate understanding of the minister's behavior, and finally came all the way to an inconspicuous official's mansion, and handed the letter to a speech official who was also a henchman of the Empress Dowager.

She closed her eyes, and the scene seemed to be vivid.

- "Lord Ji, this letter is the meaning of the Queen Mother, the emperor was deeply shocked by what the people who came to report said about what the Xiao Mansion did, and thought that there must be a court and China obstructing the enemy, otherwise there would not be such a coincidence, so the palace means that someone can speak out for the great Sima in the court." ”

- "The literati of the northern faction in the capital poured out their nests, and no one was behind their backs, and no one believed this sentence. ”

- "The two parties of the north and the south have been at odds for a long time, and this is a good time for Yan Hanshan and his disciples to establish their authority, which is why General Xiao is almost infamous. ”

- "General Xiao has made great achievements on the frontier battlefield, and the prime minister is working behind the scenes, and the queen is serving the Son of Heaven in the harem. ”

- "The letter is to ask the Xiao Mansion for the Southern Faction's help, and the Queen Mother hopes that you can submit this think tank letter with others." ”

- "Lord Wang, and Lord Cao...... It's all in there, too. ”

- "Although the folk girl has no name, but often goes in and out of the mansion with the high school nobles, this is the golden token made by the queen mother for the convenience of the maiden out of the palace, if the adult wants to seek peace of mind, the folk girl is naturally willing to pay for you." ”

After speaking, she showed Ji Zhongshan the queen mother's reward token that Wang Xian often followed her orders and entered and exited the palace, and the man opposite touched his beard and nodded, indicating that he understood.

She smiled softly at him, for such a reckless and empty-minded man was very suitable for such a thing.

"Lord Ji, the timing of promotion is ahead, after the emperor finds out the truth of the case, he will immediately return justice to the Xiao Mansion, now most people are waiting and watching and dare not come forward, according to the people's view, what is the difference between standing up early and standing up late? The Queen Mother appreciates your future for the sake of your future, and this is only this opportunity, so I hope you will cherish it. ”

These words could not be more deceptive to the grass on the wall of the unknown situation.

After Ji Zhongshan sent her out of the house, Shen Shuzhao went to Zhen Shangze's gambling house "Changhuanfang" for a turn, which was the largest and most powerful field in the capital, and gamblers would not have been there.

With the experience of visiting Zhen's Mansion last time, this time Shen Shuzhao just showed his face, and he could directly enter the field openly and honestly under the respectful and respectful subordinates who guarded the gate of Zhen's Mansion.

Under the recognition of the people of Zhenfu, she vaguely saw a strange but familiar name to her in a certain room-Yan Hanshan reads;.

It seems that the money is indeed enough for him to play for a while.

After seeing it clearly, Shen Shuzhao quickly returned to the carriage.

The people of the Zhen family had special respect for her, a person from the palace, and they gently lowered the carriage curtain for her, and the plaque of Changhuanfang disappeared from sight.

Then disappeared with the unnoticed smile on the corner of the girl's mouth in the window.

The words in those memories seem to echo in my ears,

- "You see, Shuzhao, these excerpts copied by Gao Dezhong are all voices of the court opposing the mourning family as the emperor's concubine. ”

- "The queen mother, the courtiers think it is necessary to appoint more ambitious people who are from poor backgrounds and have been suppressed by the powerful forces, and give them steps to rise to the top, so that the court will have more voices to recognize the queen mother." ”

- "You have a point, and that's exactly what the mourning family thinks." ”

――“…… Second Miss, the Queen Mother is receiving the ministers in the cabinet, I'm afraid you will have to go in later. ”

- "It's okay, then I'll wait here." ”

She stood not far from the hall, and at last watched them all come out of the hall, and then smiled meaningfully...... It's all familiar faces.

Among those officials, she carefully selected a few foolish worms who couldn't support the wall in the mud in their previous lives, and asked them to speak out in the name of the Queen Mother before, and this time in the name of the Queen Mother, she asked them to give advice to the Xiao Mansion, and this group of people who tasted the sweetness naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

Only this time was different from the previous one, and then this time - without the participation of the Queen Mother.

Shen Shuzhao looked at the unchanging scenery indifferently, and on her face, there was an expression of indifference without a trace of temperature.

If the Queen Mother is cruel to her, then she will be even more ruthless to the Queen Mother.

She sat in the carriage and returned to the palace in silence. No one will find out that the second niece of the Queen Mother once disappeared in Changle Palace for a short time.

Does the Queen Mother feel that she threatens the eldest sister?

When she seeks the status of a palace concubine for her eldest sister, will the Queen Mother respect her own will and marry as a marriage tool?

……

Too many questions, no answers.

In his previous life, Shen Shuzhao did his best for the Shen family in exchange for a happy ending with the sacrifice of his concubine.

And now this qiē will not be.

Do the Shen family and the eldest lady feel that she is too much of an eyesore at this moment and want to get rid of her?

Shen Shuzhao's eyebrows were raised, she wanted to make the Queen Mother more desperate than before.

- "The courtier's daughter is the Shen family, and she dies as the soul of the Shen family, and the courtier's daughter is willing to be loyal to the Queen Mother all her life." ”

Such soft words, when the carriage drove by, were like being left behind in the cold wind, like withered autumn leaves, which would shatter at the slightest touch, and were worthless.
