"Why can you leave the palace? What happened to you after leaving the palace? How did your dad die? Kou Xuebing asked three questions in a row, and her tone was very hurried. However, Shen Yan'er kept silent and kept her head down coldly.

Kou Xuebing asked again, "Are you just locking yourself in your room because you're afraid to answer these questions?" Shen Yan'er was still silent, and Kou Xuebing continued to say without waiting for her to respond: "This method is not smart. If you're afraid to tell the truth, follow the rumors and make up a lie – at least to get you out again. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er, who was silent, raised her head for the first time and looked at Kou Xuebing in surprise and confusion. The reason for this was because she sensed that this was not something that Kou Xuebing would say.

"Did Yi Xiangxi teach you?" Shen Yan'er asked.

This time it was Kou Xuebing's turn to acquiesce. I didn't expect Shen Yan'er to guess the truth so quickly, her expression was slightly stiff, and she nodded lightly after a while.

"Why didn't she come to see me herself?" Shen Yan'er asked again, her tone suddenly cooling. Not against Kou Xuebing, but against Yi Xiangxi.

Yi Xiangxi was the witness of that night, and she was the one who should come to see her. If Yi Xiangxi came to knock on the door, Shen Yan'er really wanted to "invite" her in and ask for clarification.

Kou Xuebing replied, "I also asked her this question, but her attitude kept me away more than you - what happened to you two?" ”

If you continue to talk about this topic, even if Kou Xuebing is dull, she can guess a few clues. Shen Yan'er had no choice but to stop there and end the topic with silence.

Just as Shen Yan'er was thinking about how to turn Kou Xuebing's attention away, a long and thin voice of a eunuch suddenly sounded outside the door: "Concubine Wan has arrived-"

Shen Yan'er and Kou Xuebing were stunned at the same time. The two of them turned their heads to look at the window facing the courtyard door. Through the open window, the first thing they saw was Izumo's familiar figure.

Izumo was followed by a beautiful woman, followed by a eunuch and two palace maids. The eunuch was the one who had just shouted. The two palace maids showed that their status was much lower than Izumo's from the way they dressed, and they kept their heads down and walked humbly.

That's Wan Guifei? Shen Yan'er couldn't help but stand up and walked nervously towards the door. Without waiting for Izumo to knock on the door, he took the initiative to open the door to welcome the arrival of Concubine Wan.

Concubine Wan is only two or three years older than Shen Yan'er at most in appearance, and she looks very young, so she shouldn't have been in the palace for a long time. The biggest feature is the fair and delicate skin, which is almost white and reflective in the soft yellow light of the setting sun, as if she has not been exposed to the sun since she was a child, which is completely different from other women who practice martial arts.

Moreover, I don't know what's going on, Shen Yan'er always feels that her appearance is somewhat similar to Ning Wang Phoenix Nanhua......

Later, Shen Yan'er learned that Concubine Wan's original name was Wan Wanying, and she was the niece of the Queen Mother, and she was a cousin with Phoenix Nanhua and the emperor. No wonder he looks like King Ning. She entered the palace through the guò draft a year ago, ranked first in the re-examination, and was named a concubine.

Shen Yan'er has long known that Izumo is the palace maid who serves Concubine Wan, and Concubine Wan and Phoenix Nanhua are the two main persons in charge of this draft. Shen Yan'er didn't go out for two days, and it was logical that the matter passed to the ears of Concubine Wan.

didn't expect her own matter to alarm Concubine Wan to visit in person, Shen Yan'er couldn't help but panic, standing at the door, she didn't even know how to put her hands and feet.

And Kou Xuebing, who has lived in the mountains since childhood, is even more overwhelmed. Fortunately, after entering the palace, she learned etiquette for a few days, and according to Professor Izumo, she clumsily greeted her. The stiff movements don't show a trace of elegance, and even ordinary palace maids are far inferior.

"You go back to the room first, I have something to say to Miss Shen Yan'er." Concubine Wan stopped in front of the two of them and directly pushed Kou Xuebing away. Kou Xuebing also felt that the atmosphere was awkward, and with a little doubt and a sense of detachment, she hurriedly trotted back to her room.

Next, Concubine Wan ordered the accompanying eunuchs and two palace maids to wait outside. Not outside the door, but outside the courtyard gate, where they were standing was twenty or thirty steps away from Shen Yan'er's room. Only Izumo was left alone in the room to serve.

Seeing such a situation, Shen Yan'er muttered to herself in her heart, guessing that Concubine Wan had ten things important to say to herself. Even Pan Yuting heard about the closure of the Shen family restaurant after Shen Wancai's violent illness and death, so Concubine Wan must have already known about it, and maybe she could bring some inside information.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan'er couldn't help but pay attention to it, staring at Concubine Wan's strict expression. After entering the room, Concubine Wan pulled Shen Yan'er to sit on the bamboo couch.

"I've heard everything about the Shen family. I didn't expect the emperor to do such a thing - how did you annoy him? ”

Concubine Wan actually knew that the emperor was the mastermind behind the scenes, and sure enough, she was an insider, and in a few words, Shen Yan'er heard that she must know a lot more than Pan Yuting.

However, in the face of the anxious Wan Guifei, Shen Yan'er still lowered her head and bit her lip lightly as she did with Kou Xuebing just now, and still refused to speak. She was killed because she leaked Yi Xiangxi's identity, and after having a bloody lesson, she never dared to reveal this secret to anyone again.

No matter how noble Concubine Wan's identity is, how friendly her attitude is, and how earnest and caring her words are, she is always just a stranger to Shen Yan'er. The matter was related to Shen Yan'er's life and death, and Shen Yan'er didn't dare to speak rashly.

Seeing that Shen Yan'er had been silent, Concubine Wan Guifei didn't ask any questions, but sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Today I am not here to extract a confession, but I have an important matter to sue you. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan'er, who bowed her head and was silent, finally raised her head and looked at Concubine Wan. Concubine Wan lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "I'm going to take you out of the palace." ”

Hearing the words "out of the palace", Shen Yan'er immediately frowned, and her whole body was cold. After that night, she was already afraid to leave the palace.

"Where to go?" Shen Yan'er asked blankly.

Concubine Wan lightly spit out three words: "Ning Wangfu." ”

So Shen Yan'er was even more puzzled. She stared at Wan Guifei for a long time, and the strange requests that burst out of Wan Guifei's mouth one after another made her a little overwhelmed.

After a long time, Shen Yan'er timidly refused: "I, I don't want to go......" Because any rash move by herself may kill her sister, so Shen Yan'er was so afraid that she was restrained, and she just wanted to lock herself in the room for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan was not angry at all after being rejected. She smiled slightly, and said very firmly, "You must want to go." As she spoke, she took out a piece of black yarn from her arms and stuffed it into Shen Yan'er's hand. Shen Yan'er looked down, and her mind was blank for a moment.

Because this black veil is exactly ......
