Wei Yang just leaned silently on her shoulder, her long hair covering the side of her face, making it difficult to see her expression.

But those faintly visible eyes are still as gentle as peach blossoms in the spring water.

But Shen Shuzhao didn't see it.

The carriage jolted through the bamboo forest, and every time she stumbled on the stones, Shen Shuzhao leaned closer to Wei Yang, and she carefully guarded Wei Yang, as if Wei Yang needed to be protected.

At this time, the tearful woman beside her lifted the curtain towards the coachman, then turned over steadily, and sat next to Gao Dezhong.

Then she began to turn and look back, paying full attention to what was going on behind her, and with the woman watching outside, the people in the carriage were much safer.

Wei Yang suddenly spoke: "Nobleman, go to the right." ”

Gao Dezhong hesitated, and immediately replied: "There is no way on the right side!" And the old slave remembered to go all the way and soon entered the city. ”

And Wei Yang just closed his eyes, his eyebrows did not move, and he still insisted: "Listen to the lonely one." Shen Shuzhao saw it in her eyes, and for some reason, she always felt that Wei Yang had an irresistible sense of oppression, which made people can't help but choose to believe it.

"Yes, princess." Gao Dezhong gritted his teeth, raised the long whip in his hand and immediately changed his route.

In an extremely depressing atmosphere, the carriage rushed out of this sparsely populated bamboo forest without stopping, and walked towards the city without stopping. Although she took a long detour, Shen Shuzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a few scattered houses in the distance not long after, she glanced at Wei Yang, and there was a silent drizzle in her eyes, but fortunately, the people behind her had stopped chasing her...... As soon as the qiē was over, she just begged Wei Yang to be fine.

After entering the city, they were safe, and hurriedly returned to the Changle Palace, Shen Shuzhao and Gao Dezhong hurriedly knelt on the ground, and told the Queen Mother all the encounters to the Queen Mother, and pleaded guilty for putting the eldest princess Wei Yang in a predicament.

After the presentation was finished, a palace maid who came to report said something in the ear of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's face changed greatly when she heard the words, and then she was stunned and said: "The old body is careless......

"Majesty, what's wrong?" Shen Shuzhao asked.

The Queen Mother stopped and let the palace maid go down, and at the same time said, "The hundred secret guards who followed you are sixty less. ”

There was silence.

Shen Shuzhao was speechless, she looked at the Queen Mother with a sad face, and said nothing.

In the closed room, the only light shone in from the small window, and in the darkness, the Queen Mother sat on the Wanfeng chair, only dressed in a cumbersome and dull dark dress, her pale face was even more haggard because of the abrupt light, she didn't say anything, but her eyes were gloomy.

"Shuzhao, what do you want to say?"

The Queen Mother spoke in a hoarse voice.

Shen Shuzhao lowered his gaze and looked at the Queen Mother's gaze, and said: "Someone wants Lord Li to die, and he has already planned well, and there are many ambushes, and he has already made up for it if he wants to redeem it." ”

"It seems that the mourning family can't save Li Sizhi's life."

"Your Majesty, the courtiers want to intervene in it not only Xiao Chen."

The Queen Mother bowed, and then smiled bitterly: "The mourning family has long expected it, and it is so exhausting and exhausting, but it makes the person in the secret bother." ”

"Since it's irretrievable, Your Majesty, we might as well sing this play with them." Shen Shuzhao raised her eyebrows and arched her hand.

The golden Shoujin armor crossed the edge of the handrail in the dark, and the Queen Mother looked at the empty light in the corner, her expression was cold, and said, "The mourning family has long had this intention. ”

After speaking, she looked into the distance, as if she was thinking about something, her eyes were wandering, and she was thinking about no one, as if she was remembering someone. Shen Shuzhao looked at the Queen Mother and was distracted, and it was not easy to interject.

Half a day later, the Queen Mother said: "That kind of thing, the mourning family will not allow it to happen again." On the day Li Sizhi returned to his hometown, the mourning family would order Jinyiwei to escort him all the way, so as not to fall into the mouth. ”

Shen Shuzhao nodded, and heard her continue: "Gao Dezhong, as for which people to choose, the mourning family will tell you again in a while, tomorrow morning, the mourning family will hold a farewell banquet for this hard-working Li Sizhi, you go down and prepare first." ”

"Yes."

Gao Dezhong respectfully retreated, leaving Shen Shuzhao alone.

"Come here." The Queen Mother told her that whenever she had to give instructions alone, the Queen Mother would always branch out of them first.

When Shen Shuzhao stepped forward, the Queen Mother's first sentence was to ask, "Do you know that Taiwei Chen has been here today?" ”

Shen Shuzhao immediately recalled the situation he met when he first left the palace in the morning, so he hummed.

"Do you know what he's here for?"

She shook her head, even though she had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart. Now Xiao Chen and his forces are closely linked, and they have always been in and out of the court and the palace together, but the Xiao family has a queen in the middle palace to consolidate their position, and the Chen family will inevitably not have a gap in their hearts, and at the beginning, Chen Taiwei also attached great importance to the opportunity to let his daughter enter the palace as a queen, but unfortunately the first emperor seemed to weigh it and preferred Xiao Chengxiang, so the Chen family couldn't help but feel a great regret that they missed the opportunity.

Although the two later married each other, there is still a little subtlety in this matter. If one family can dominate, it is bound to be a mountain that cannot tolerate two tigers.

Not long before life, the two families quickly diverged under the provocation of the Queen Mother.

Although she knew, there were some places where she could pretend to be stupid or pretend, she was too aware of the past, she was afraid that the Queen Mother would not dare to use it, after all, she was just a little concubine who had just come to the palace from the Shen Mansion and had not yet left the cabinet.

The Queen Mother said: "It's normal for you not to know, you have always known that the Xiao and Chen families have always respected each other, and the outside world seems to be the same, but in fact, Mrs. Chen actually has other plans in his heart." He came to Changle Palace today to imply that he did not regard the mourning family as a great enemy, on the contrary, he was looking forward to joining forces. ”

Shen Shuzhao couldn't help but think of Prime Minister Chen's old-fashioned face, if he knew that this in-law who had been standing on his left and right silent foil, when he was going to set up the queen mother, he would first come to test and comfort the queen mother in advance, how would he be angry and angry in Chen's mansion......

The Queen Mother looked at the quiet Shen Shuzhao and said: "Tomorrow, the mourning family will let all the ministers see how the royal family treats this former hero, and the number of rituals that should be done has been done, and whether he will live or die in the future is fate." ”

Hearing her words, Shen Shuzhao thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the courtier thinks there are still things that can be done. ”

"You say."

In addition to setting up a banquet for him, His Majesty can also make this matter a little more solemn. If His Majesty is willing, the courtiers are willing to write a song for Li Sizhi for His Majesty, I heard that many literati in the capital like to gather in Moxuan Pavilion, if they also ask them to travel together for this capital fu, so that Li Sizhi will be pushed to the forefront of the storm, even if someone wants to blame Li Sizhi's death on His Majesty, it will be even more difficult. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered: "What do you mean......"

"What the courtier means is that since someone wants to sing a play, then we might as well sing it a little louder."

After Shen Shuzhao finished speaking, the Queen Mother snorted, raised her eyes, and said: "You think more carefully than the mourning family, and the matter of the literati and Fuwen will be handed over to you tomorrow." ”

"Thank you for your trust." Shen Shuzhao hurriedly replied, "Tomorrow's matter, the courtiers will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." ”

She smiled faintly, this is her best play in her previous life, and it is also the queen mother's best means, Queen Xiao is just a more powerful palace fighting woman, but why is her reputation outside the palace completely different from that in the palace? One is "childless and jealous", and the other is "majestic and capable", which is only due to the queen mother's trick of fanning the flames.

At the same time, she also sat firmly in the position of "virtuous concubine" in the harem in the first half of her life, folklore has it that this Shen Chunfei and the emperor are in harmony with each other, although she is not the most favored, but she is the longest concubine.

As for the complicated taste, no one cares.

People are more willing to believe in the good.

People also want to see the good being shattered.

Therefore, in his previous life, the emperor made the world believe that the beloved women in his life died one by one, and she also died of witchcraft after reaching the glory pole.

"Shuzhao," the Queen Mother called her back to this life, "The time you have followed the mourning family is not short, and in a few days it will be the day to set the imperial concubine, what are you ...... What do you want? ”

Shen Shuzhao was stunned, and then calmly replied: "The courtier said it." I just want to ask the Queen Mother to give her courtiers a satisfactory marriage. ”

The Queen Mother laughed softly, looked sideways at the decadent white flowers placed on the table in the light, and said: "To be honest with the mourning family, your courage is not just to ask for an ordinary royal marriage. ”

"Courtiers ......" Shen Shuzhao paused, and then said: "I don't ask for anything else, but if I can get a good marriage, my biological mother will be more decent in the house." ”

The Queen Mother pondered for a while and said: "You know that our Shen family and the Jiang family are very close, and the second son of the Jiang family is only one year younger than you, but if you marry, you will be the wife of the Jiang family, so your biological mother will have a better life in the Shen Mansion." ”

Shen Shuzhao raised her head suddenly, her eyes were confused: "Your Majesty ......" She looked at the Queen Mother in the shadows, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"The identity of the second lady of the Jiang family is a good home." The Queen Mother continued, "The second son will inherit his father's title in the future, and he will have a wider path in his career in the future. The palace is very large, and you are very suitable here, but the mourning family also knows that you don't have half the meaning of the harem. The Shen Mansion originally wanted your third sister to marry over, but now it seems that the Mourning family is more suitable for you. ”

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother explained some more things and let her go down. Shen Shuzhao walked out with a gray face, she didn't want to be decided by the family so early, but as a child of the Shen family, she had to be put on the chessboard as a pawn, changing the outcome that seemed to be beneficial to her at any time.

Who called her a woman, a woman who can't decide her fate and only waits for her husband and children.

Shen Shuzhao walked out of the inner room, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Wei Yang, remembering what the Queen Mother had just said to her, she saw Wei Yang suddenly feel sad, maybe she should cherish every moment of seeing her.

Because in this fateful and eternally turbulent palace, tomorrow may mean goodbye.

The only regret is that she hasn't had time to like Wei Yangdao yet.

At this time, Wei Yang walked over to her, and seeing that her face was not very good, he asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Courtiers are okay......

"Don't say that," Wei Yang raised his hand and gently rubbed her hair, "You look very bad, I feel very distressed when I leave the palace with so many things happening." ”

Touched by her head and listening to her concern, Shen Shuzhao was so shy that she didn't know how to place her hands, she crossed her fingers, nervous and uneasy like a little bride on the first night of the wedding.

"Let's go back." Wei Yang approached her and whispered in her ear, "You should have a good rest, I'll send you back." ”

"Princess, I can't do it yet......" Shen Shuzhao's coquettish tone came out very naturally, and after she finished speaking, she realized it, and immediately blushed and changed her words: "Cough, the courtiers still have a lot of things to do tomorrow." ”

Wei Yang smiled faintly and gently, and said, "Why is my cousin always so busy? Last time, you thanked me for the invitation, and now you have resigned again, you say, how will you compensate me in the future? ”

"This ......," Shen Shuzhao stammered, "The future is long, the next time the princess meets the courtiers, the ministers and courtiers will definitely accompany the princess." ”

"You won't say no next time?"

"The courtiers will never."

"That's good," Wei Yang smiled in his eyes, "I'll ask my cousin again, will you accompany me back this time?" ”

This time, Shen Shuzhao was dumbfounded.
