421 Assassins?
Shen Yan retracted his gaze and groaned.
The peony field was planted by the queen herself, and she already knew what Song Ping was thinking. She had already dealt fire with Concubine Shu before, if she was allowed to be presumptuous, although it would not cause any serious trouble, but with the current thoughts of Queen Zheng Wang, it was difficult to say what would happen after she arrived.
Shen Guanyu tore his face with the queen, but in order to hide this inside story, he still had to be used by King Zheng, and the queen was not as scrupulous as Concubine Shu at least on this level, so even if Shen Mi was favored, she was unlikely to be indifferent to this matter.
However, since people have already made a move, she has no reason to avoid it.
The emperor has already lifted the Shen family up, at least before the crown prince is canonized, the Shen family can be guaranteed, and this little thing can't shake the foundation of the Shen family, she insists on playing tricks, insisting that the Shen family is bullying, she will let her taste the taste of being bullied back!
She turned her back to the window, bowed slightly, took out a silver ticket from her purse and stuffed it to Sunset quietly, and said, "Please ask my sister to do me a favor." β
Sunset lowered her head and glanced at the denomination, and hurriedly leaned over: "As long as it doesn't violate the palace rules, the girl will say it." β
Shen Yan whispered a few words to her, and Sunset nodded and went downstairs quietly.
Here Shen Yan stood again, and then went down the stairs from this side to the pavilion where Rouge and the others were.
She had only been hiding here to see what she was up to, but now that she had learned of it, she had to go and join the maids.
Rouge and the others couldn't see the situation under the shade of the trees in the pavilion, only Shen Yan came in. Then he went out to greet him, "What's wrong, girl?" β
As soon as Shen Yan said the ins and outs of the future, Qing Dai's face sank, "I thought that Song Ping was not a good kind before, I thought she should know something serious, but I didn't expect her to dare to be so bold to tease, the girl will definitely give her some color this time!" β
Rouge has always been cautious, but said: "At this time, it is in the palace, not compared to other places, how can it be messed around?" Let's go. β
Shen Yan looked out the window. Then he looked around the pavilion again. said: "I guess they will bring people in a short time, and it is very likely that they will invite the queen directly, so whether we go or not, we will not solve the problem." Fortunately, I didn't intend to avoid it. So. We're not going anywhere yet. Just sit here and wait for the queen to come and find her. β
"The girl is right," Qing Dai stepped forward: "Then the Song family deceives people too much, how can there be a reason to let them go in vain?" We are not afraid of shadows. Not going anywhere! β
Shen Yan was silent.
Rouge said, "What is the girl thinking?" β
Shen Yan frowned and said, "But I always feel that Song Ping shouldn't have the courage to dare to come and tease me directly." It was clear that I was stronger than she was right now, otherwise she wouldn't have done anything when I fought back against her. Moreover, how could she be so sure that I would definitely eat flat under the queen? β
Listening to her before, although it was very extreme, it was not like she didn't know anything about the court situation at all, and now that Shen Mi was so popular in front of the emperor, she should also know that no matter what mistake she made, the people in the palace would choose to make a big deal small. But she still targeted the queen, was it because she knew that she and Shen Mi didn't want to see the queen's mother and son, or because she was sure that there were people in the palace who would like to see her eat flat?
Yes, she had offended Concubine Shu before, could it be that Song Ping knew this because she wanted to offend the queen after she offended Concubine Shu, so that they would accuse the emperor of her innocence at the same time, so as to achieve the goal of making the emperor dissatisfied with the Shen family?
If so, then she is too naΓ―ve.
Since the emperor exalted Shen Mi like this, he would definitely not blame him too much for this, but if it really reached the point of being blamed, how could he rely on her little trick? Only the queen is afraid that because of Liu Yan's death before, she will deepen her grudge against the Shen family as she wishes, but she also dares to conclude that this Song Ping is impossible to know, and the queen will not show it.
So, what does Song Ping want to see in the end? Did Concubine Shu take the opportunity to stand up and take revenge?
Yes, she offended Concubine Shu, which is why Song Ping dared to do this.
But regardless of whether Concubine Shu will be as she thinks, how does she know about this? She clearly remembered that Song Ping was not present before, she had a gut feeling that there was someone behind this matter, and with Song Ping alone, she didn't dare to do such a thing in the palace!
So who could it be?
She subconsciously walked to the window and looked around.
But nothing was found, and when I listened intently, there seemed to be a voice coming from the boulevard in the distance, and it sounded like many people were walking quickly, and there was a faint sound of chasing. She frowned and said, "What's going on outside?" β
The maids listened for a while, and Chun Hui said hesitantly: "It looks like she is in a hurry to do something." β
As he was talking, there was also a series of rapid footsteps behind the rockery behind the pavilion, and it was gradually moving away, with an inaudible shout.
"Like the Feather Forest Army!" Rouge's face also changed color, "Could it be that there are assassins?" β
Shen Yan was silent. Rouge's guess is not unreasonable, except for the presence of assassins in the palace, why did the Yulin Army make such a big move? But think about this speculation is too unreliable, today there are so many masters in the palace, the princess and the prince and a group of guards are all in the palace, who would be so afraid of death to pick this time to assassinate?
"Let's go! lest something bad happen to you. "Chunhui is dignified and authentic. If something happens to Shen Yan, she can't get rid of it.
Shen Yan thought for a while and said: "Behind is the Imperial Garden, the Queen Mother is here and they are all here, and the emperor has never sent anyone to report here, so there will be no big deal." "It's just that the emperor doesn't respect the queen mother, aren't there still so many women? Isn't there anyone who cares about their family, wife and daughter? She wasn't sure about other people, first of all, Shen Mi and Gu Zhicheng would definitely not.
And if there is really an assassin, it is not good for him to get out of the West Garden at this time, so why don't he memorize the terrain in the palace before he acts?
When encountering things, she was most afraid of panicking, she sorted out her thoughts, and said: "But you can't be careless, you stand at the door and listen, see if you can hear something?" β
Rouge nodded, lifted his head and went out.
Shen Yan turned around and sat down on the wooden pier, and immediately heard a scream from outside the door!
Chun Hui immediately dodged in front of Shen Yan, Qing Dai rushed out, Shen Yan saw Rouge rolling on the ground through the window, and immediately rushed to the window to look around, and confirmed that no outsiders had broken in, so she pushed away Chun Hui who was blocking the way and rushed to Qing Dai outside the door and said, "Help her in!" β
Qing Dai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly moved the painful and struggling rouge in.
Rouge fell to the ground, her hands over her face and writhing in pain, her clothes and face were wet, and she exuded a strange smell of choking! Shen Yan hurriedly squatted on the ground and wiped her hands with a handkerchief, Chun Hui hurriedly walked in from outside with a bowl, and couldn't hide her fear: "Fortunately, the girl didn't go out recklessly just now, this is actually a bowl of chili water with strong vinegar!" β
Chilli water? How could an assassin use such a thing made by a talent who can't be put on the table in the back house?! Shen Yan was slightly stunned, got up and grabbed the bowl and sniffed it, and sure enough, it exuded a strong smell of vinegar and chili peppers! Could this really be the work of an assassin who needs to use a large number of Feather Forest Army?
Thinking that if he went out just now, the spicy water would splash directly into his eyes, Shen Yan snorted violently and quickly ordered Qing Dai: "Go and invite the fourth grandmother and uncle to come over!" β
Qing Dai didn't say a word and immediately went out.
And behind a dense wisteria opposite the gazebo, a panicked face saw that the water splashed out was actually the maid and not Shen Yan herself, and the eyes hidden behind the branches and leaves were even more panicked, and then with the flash of light and shadow, the figure immediately disappeared behind the vine.
When this change occurred in the octagonal pavilion, at the edge of the peony field under the slope dozens of steps away, the queen was standing there with a look of anger on her face.
Previously, she was watching a play in the theater garden, and suddenly someone came to report that the peony she planted was trampled on, and her heart was nameless, so she took a leave of absence from the Queen Mother and took someone downstairs.
No matter how precious the peony is, it is not a very important thing, but it symbolizes wealth, and she can ignore the peony she planted on this day? When I got a look at the peony field, I saw that sure enough, five or six peonies that were originally growing very well were all broken from the waist! Where can the fire in his heart still be suppressed, so he scolded: "Who did this?!" Where have all the people on duty gone?! β
In the distance, the eunuch hurriedly walked over and knelt on the ground, and said, "If you go back to Niangniang, this is the time for the people on duty to eat, and they all go to the front to eat." β
"Check it out! Look who has been in the garden! The queen asked angrily.
The eunuch got up tremblingly, and was about to walk back, when suddenly he heard a scream coming from the octagonal pavilion in the middle of the slope!
The eunuchs were busy saying "escort", while sending people up to inspect, the queen paused slightly, and frowned: "Who is up there?" β
The palace maids bent their knees and said: "If you go back to Niangniang, it is Lord Shen Mi's daughter who is in the pavilion with the maid." β
Shen Yan?
The queen frowned when she heard this, and a look of disgust couldn't help but rise between her eyebrows.
After a moment's pause, she also stepped up the stone steps.
Rouge was still crying on this side of the pavilion, and a palace maid had already heard the news and surrounded her.
Shen Yan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, sniffed the smell, and said: "Rouge has hurt her eyes, please ask my sisters to ask for a doctor for me, otherwise I am afraid that her eyes will not be saved!" Although she doesn't go to the kitchen, she also knows that this kind of water spilled on her skin is unbearable, let alone spilled into her eyes!
The palace people knew the importance very well, and immediately arranged for someone to go to the imperial doctor, and then reported to the emperor, the queen mother, and all the people went. (To be continued......)
