Phoenix Ke only allowed Shen Yan'er to stay in King Ning's Mansion for one day, even if there was a major event in King Ning's Mansion where Dusk Xin committed suicide, the date of Shen Yan'er's return to the palace would not change in any way. Not long after talking to King Jiyang, Izumo found Shen Yan'er in the room and said that the carriage where Gonggong An picked her up and left for the palace had stopped at the gate of King Ning's mansion. After Shen Yan'er and Jinghao got into the carriage, Father-in-law An naturally wanted to ask them about the causes and consequences of Twilight's suicide, but Shen Yan'er blocked it with the sentence "I'm just an outsider, I don't know anything", which made Grandpa An, who was smiling, look very embarrassed.

I don't know if it's because of her attitude of never talking about it, but it makes people more suspicious, Shen Yan'er always feels that Grandpa An's smiling face is more gloomy than usual. She silently looked forward to it in her heart: "I hope that King Jiyang can keep the news, and don't let the emperor know the true cause of Twilight's death." ”

However, what Shen Yan'er was most worried about still happened.

It was the third day after Shen Yan'er returned to the palace. Lu Mingyue, who brought her food, brought a big news about the "show girl retest". That day, Lu Mingyue ran into the room in a hurry, and before she could put the basket of food steady, she opened her throat and shouted, "Big news!" Big news! The emperor announced that he was going to choose the queen! ”

Shen Yan'er, who has been under house arrest in the Hail Snow Palace and knows nothing about the outside world, is about to be locked up and sick. After hearing Lu Mingyue's shouting, his eyes that had lost their brilliance suddenly lit up. "After the election?" Subconsciously repeated, my body was a little chilly.

I don't know why, Shen Yan'er was not as excited as Lu Mingyue and the others after hearing the news, but felt that there must be fraud in Feng Feng Ke's sudden announcement of the election.

"Why did you suddenly decide to be elected?" Shen Yan'er pulled in and pulled Lu Mingyue and asked.

"What else can you ask? The emperor wanted to choose. Lu Mingyue didn't doubt him, and answered it as a matter of course, and felt that Shen Yan'er asked the question in an inexplicable tone. Phoenix Ke's age should have been a queen a long time ago, the queen mother and the minister have urged countless times, but they have all been taken by Phoenix Ke as a deaf ear, this time it is probably overwhelmed and compromised.

"What's that choosing?" Shen Yan'er asked again. The results of the show girls in the re-election are directly related to their rank in the harem, but this rank does not include the "queen", and the highest rank is only the "concubine" where Wan Guifei is located.

After the second selection, it is a new project added by Phoenix Ke this year. And it was not added before the re-election, but it was suddenly announced that it was added - this cannot but make Shen Yan'er suspicious.

After the news of the election spread, the entire palace exploded, and everyone talked about it. Lu Mingyue, who was still immersed in excitement, said: "There are three candidates, that is, the top two in this year's re-examination, plus last year's winner - Wan Guifei." ”

After hearing the words "Wan Guifei", Shen Yan'er's heart sank suddenly.

So it turned out, Shen Yan'er finally understood why she was upset after hearing the news after the election. It turned out that Phoenix Ke was playing this abacus......

Lu Mingyue didn't notice Shen Yan'er's suddenly gloomy expression, and continued to herself: "Although this year's re-election has not officially ended, there is no doubt that the winners will definitely be Wei Shixuan and Miao Pu, plus last year's Wan Guifei, the candidates are the three of them." These three must be very good-looking to fight. ”

The real Wei Shixuan's martial arts are very weak, so Xiaoqing, who pretends to be her, can't be too sharp. The people of the Wei family did tricks on the battle table, so that Xiaoqing did not encounter a strong opponent in the re-election, and easily won all the way to the finals. And Miao Pu is the strongest martial artist among the show girls this year, and her ability to fight her way out of the encirclement is also expected by many people.

Most people in the palace were like Lu Mingyue, full of expectations for the playoffs, but Shen Yan'er couldn't be happy, frowned and whispered to herself: "It seems that he still didn't hide it, and sure enough, he knew about it......"

"What did you say?" The inexplicable Lu Mingyue's eyes widened innocently.

Shen Yan'er shook her head, not wanting to say a word. I don't know when, a cold sweat had already been pinched in the palm of my hand for Concubine Wan.

Phoenix Ke is really powerful, and he can't hide anything from him. It's just that Shen Yan'er didn't expect him to take action so quickly, and the first person targeted was still Shen Yan'er's unexpectedest concubine.

Concubine Wan obviously entered the palace last year, and she has been named a concubine, so it stands to reason that she should not participate in this year's re-election, even if Phoenix Ke wants to use the re-election to get rid of her, she can't find a chance. However, the cunning and vicious Phoenix Ke naturally forced Concubine Wan to the battlefield in the name of "post-election......

"Mingyue, I beg you for one thing." Shen Yan'er suddenly held Lu Mingyue's hand.

Lu Mingyue stared at her in surprise, and it took a long time to react, nodded blankly, and said obligedly: "You saved me in the mass grave, of course I won't refuse." As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er was relieved, and hurriedly said, "I want to see Concubine Wan." ”

Among the three people in the playoffs, Wei Shixuan was actually pretended by Xiaoqing, who was controlled by Yi Xiangxi, and Yi Xiangxi was a diehard loyalist of Phoenix Ke. Although Miao Pu has nothing to do with Phoenix Ke, but when he was in the mass grave, Miao Pu was almost poisoned by Yi Xiangxi, and later in order to save his life, Shen Yan'er persuaded Miao Pu to promise to help Yi Xiangxi kill one person in exchange for an antidote. Shen Yan'er thought that Yi Xiangxi would let Miao Pu deal with Pan Yuting, but things have developed to this point, and Shen Yan'er is almost certain that Yi Xiangxi will definitely order Miao Pu to kill Wan Guifei in the playoffs.

In this way, the two people who seem to be unrelated and impossible to secretly form an alliance - Wei Shixuan and Miao Pu are actually in the same camp and aim at Wan Guifei. Even if Concubine Wan Guifei is strong in martial arts, it may be difficult to have a chance of winning when facing the two strong opponents of Miao Pu and Xiaoqing at the same time.

Therefore, this "post-election" is completely a trap set for Concubine Wan. Shen Yan'er had to let Concubine Wan understand her dangerous situation as soon as possible.

However, it is a pity that Shen Yan'er's kindness has not been reciprocated.

A few days later, Lu Mingyue said that Concubine Wan refused to meet with Shen Yan'er. Shen Yan'er understood that Concubine Wan had not forgiven her, and still remembered the death of Twilight Xin on her head.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help this time......" Lu Mingyue felt a little guilty.

Shen Yan'er shook her head lightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to say sorry first. Even if Concubine Wan refuses to see me, your actions in the past few days can help me invite another distinguished guest......"

Shen Yan'er's expression was a little unfathomable, and Lu Mingyue was stunned.

As a result, on the night when Lu Mingyue brought the bad news, Shen Yan'er met the "other distinguished guest" in her words, that is, the one who has not appeared in the Hail Snow Palace for a long time, and the mastermind behind the manipulation of this "playoffs", Phoenix Ke.

Shen Yan'er's every move was under the surveillance of Phoenix Ke. After knowing that Shen Yan'er wanted to see Concubine Wan, how could Phoenix Ke ignore it? Shen Yan'er obviously asked Lu Mingyue to invite Concubine Wan, but secretly she wanted to lure Phoenix Ke to appear.
