Chapter 80: The Truth
Both of them are the first beauties in Kyoto, and both of them are dressed in white, and when they look at each other, they are like Shih Tzu taking a self-portrait by the water. The two of them are delicate and cold, adding a bit of fairy aura to this ordinary bamboo forest.
"Jade Concubine Niangniang." Shen Nanyan walked over and called softly.
She and Concubine Yu have never met in private except for palace banquets or major occasions, so the two are not acquaintances.
Concubine Yu stopped playing the piano, and her tone was disdainful: "Miss Shen is really like Lord Shen, so boring." Since you have come to see me today, I am afraid that you know a lot about me and your brother, and now you are calling what kind of concubine Raush Ziyu, isn't it taking the opportunity to mock me? Regarding Shen Nanyan's polite appearance when she came in, she was displeased and disdainful for a while, as if she saw Shen Jin's appearance that day.
"Concubine Yu said with a smile, the courtier's wife is just a title like this, and I hope that Concubine Yu Niangniang can understand." Shen Nanyan personally made amends.
"You have made me understand you, if I don't forgive you, wouldn't you become that narrow-minded person, besides, now that you have entered the palace, it is only a matter of time before you become a concubine, why does Miss Shen need to call herself the wife of Mu Gongzi again?" Concubine Yu smiled, her tone yin and yang.
The jade concubine is really as rumored, a seven-trick exquisite heart is comparable to Bigan, she just calls her a jade concubine according to her identity, but now she has pulled out so many things for no reason.
It seems that she really doesn't like to call her a jade concubine, I'm afraid it's because of her brother.
Shen Nanyan secretly scolded, her brother is really good, he provoked a rotten peach blossom for no reason, and now she has to be implicated by him and bear the inexplicable ridicule of Concubine Yu for no reason.
"In this life, Mu Zhao and I have already made a promise to each other, and we are determined to love each other for life, this time entering the palace is just a helpless move, why should the Jade Concubine be sarcastic with me?" Shen Nanyan was not annoyed, and spoke calmly.
Concubine Yu stared at Shen Nanyan's eyes, and seeing that the determination in her eyes did not seem to be fake, she sneered: "It's better to say than to sing, but you and him have long been happy with each other, what is the kindness to Song Heng these days?" Although Song Heng surrounded Fangxie Palace to death, half a fly couldn't fly. But who is she, how can it be difficult to get her in trivial matters, as long as she wants to, there is nothing she doesn't know.
Shen Nanyan: "Didn't Concubine Jade Niangniang stay in the palace for a long time, and she didn't even know about the scheme of fake flattery?" ”
It was pointless to continue arguing with her here, and Concubine Yu got up and walked straight past Shen Nanyan: "Whether you are pretending to flatter or giving birth to sincerity in the end, I am too lazy to waste time arguing with you." ”
This is indeed what he said, and Shen Nanyan stood there quietly waiting for the next step.
"I only have one reason to help you, no matter whether you enter the palace and become Song Heng's woman in the future, you only need to ensure that no matter what happens in the future, your Shen clan must stand behind our Li clan, share honor and disgrace, and never turn your back."
Concubine Yu's words were to let the Li family form an alliance with the Shen family, but the two clans were both four great families, and if they combined their strength, they would definitely not be underestimated, and Song Heng was afraid that he would not watch them form an alliance so easily.
Seeing Shen Nanyan's hesitant look, Concubine Yu reminded loudly: "Have you forgotten what situation your Shen family is in, and why did you enter the palace?" Your Mu Zhao is now afraid that he is being locked up in an unknown place by Song Heng and is suffering? Do you still need to hesitate about such a small thing? ”
"The Li family and the Shen family are both the four great families, and they hold both the power and the military power at the same time, and now although our Shen family's military power has been withdrawn, Song Heng still covets our Shen family, and so do your Li family. Your proposal to let the Shen family form an alliance with the Li family is just for your own sake, once something happens in the future, isn't it our Shen family who will bear the brunt? ”
She is not stupid, Concubine Yu is definitely not a fool, she will help her for the slightest affection with her brother, if she doesn't have a plan, how can she really help her.
"Miss Shen is thorough, I really admire it." The jade concubine said lightly.
"Isn't the Jade Concubine also calculating? Even if I want to save Mu Zhao, it is absolutely impossible to gamble with the lives of my Shen family, so Concubine Yu Niangniang should find someone else. After speaking, Shen Nanyan turned around and left without hesitation.
"Now that your father's life is about to be lost, do you still have to sacrifice your father's life for something that cannot happen in the future?" Concubine Yu shouted from behind: "You are such a fool, do you think Song Heng will really listen to you obediently, spare your father, spare the Shen family, and spare Mu Zhao?" ”
Shen Nanyan paused, stood in place and did not continue to move forward.
Seeing that her own story had played a role, Concubine Yu continued: "I'm afraid you don't know it yet, now your good father is at the border pass, the Northern Qi army is coming, the war is tight, your mother heard about your father's affairs and is now lingering on the sickbed, and it has not improved for a long time, and even the Shen family has been hit one after another in the imperial court, and most of their rights have been cut by half, only this fool is still willing to believe in Song Heng and believe that he will not hurt the Shen family." ”
Shen Nanyan turned around and looked at Concubine Yu, unable to believe that what she said was true, but she was terrified in her heart. A gut instinct in her heart kept telling her that she was right.
"I know you don't believe me, but you shouldn't believe Song Heng's nonsense. I'm more credible than Song Heng, aren't I? At least ......" Concubine Yu covered the emotions in her eyes and raised her head: "The relationship between me and your brother is enough to prove that I will not hurt you." Although you guessed the matter correctly, you only guessed half right, I just want the future king to come from our Li clan, and the alliance with you is just an extra layer of protection. You can rest assured, I won't hurt your Shen family no matter what. ”
"Is it true that my father, my mother, and our Shen family's affairs?" Shen Nanyan asked in a hoarse voice, so far, whether Concubine Yu is using them, or really for them, all she wants to do is not want to see the Shen family get hurt.
"I didn't lie to you, your Shen family has ended up like this, why don't you guess what happened to your Mu Zhao now?" Seeing Shen Nanyan's current appearance, she seemed to still have illusions about Song Heng She simply didn't do anything and gave her a dose of fierce medicine: "Song Heng is ruthless, and it is impossible to show mercy to his subordinates in everything, after all, the Shen family is your relatives have ended up like this, and your Mu Zhao is afraid that he has been tortured by him, and it is better to die." ”
Concubine Yu's words were like a sharp thorn that constantly pierced every nerve and atrium in her mind.
Song Heng's methods she had seen, the last time Mu Zhao's bloody wounds on his body could only recover after a month of cultivation, this time he was afraid of being injured even more than before.
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly stagnated, her whole body stiffened and cold, and her heart continued to twist and ache. Cold sweat fell from his forehead, and one by one fell to the ground, releasing a thumping sound.
Xu is surroundings are too quiet, this voice is too loud, Concubine Yu was shocked by this sound, and came back to her senses to see Shen Nanyan holding her heart and squatting on the ground panting, with a painful expression on her face. Cold sweat was as big as a particle, and it swept across Shen Nanyan's cheeks drop by drop.
Why is she doing this, she didn't expect that her heart would hurt so much when she said this, it seems that Miss Shen is a person with a heart, and her heart will only hurt after paying her sincerity, Concubine Yu walked over and slowly helped Shen Nanyan's hand to stand up, and comforted: "You don't have to be angry that Song Heng deceived you, you shouldn't hand over the safety of your Shen family to him alone." ”
Shen Nanyan let go of Concubine Yu's hand, covered her sore chest with her hand, and said coldly: "Joke, I never believed him, why be angry?" Song Heng is just a pawn to me, I just use him, do you think I will waste my time and energy for an unrelated person? ”
Concubine Yu was stunned, staring at Shen Nanyan in a daze, and after a long silence, she asked, "Are you worried about the safety of your Shen family?" ”
"Things in the world, thousands of changes, what can make my heart ache apart from my relatives and him, what are others?"
"Others are really nothing, at this time I suddenly felt a little sorry for Song Heng, is it his luck or misfortune to fall in love with an unintentional person like you?" Song Heng has done so many things for her, and now she can't even believe it to him, what else can he have.
"Luck and misfortune all come from him, what does this have to do with others? Even if ten thousand arrows pierce his heart and suffer all his life, it is his own choice, and he can't blame others. Shen Nanyan sneered, refusing to discuss Song Heng.
"That's it, that's it, you go back, since I have already told you about this matter, you should think carefully about the matter between the Shen family and the Li family. As for the safety of your Shen family and Mu Zhao, you can solve it yourself. After Concubine Yu finished speaking, she turned around and left without saying much.
Shen Nanyan and Song Heng have no grievances or grievances, love and hatred, she doesn't want to intervene or disdain to intervene, and she is happy to be a person who watches from the wall.
There are very few people who can really make her shoot in this harem, not many. What she has to do has always been to plot for the Li family and glorify her Li family.

"Miss Shen, you're finally back, the slave has been waiting for you here for a long time, let's go back early." When Zheng Fuhai saw Shen Nanyan coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Let's go." Shen Nanyan said in a deep voice, his eyes were cold, and there seemed to be anger pouring out.
It was fine when he left, but how did he become like this after leaving for a while, Zheng Fuhai flashed suspicion in his heart, and glanced at Shen Nanyan again, seeing that she seemed to be full of anger, and followed her stupidly, hoping that nothing would happen.
She didn't know what mood she was in when she returned to this place that had trapped her for many days, but she knew that there was a voice in her heart telling her that she couldn't bear it anymore, even if she was low in the palace and obedient to Song Heng everywhere, but in the end she got something.
For the safety of the Shen family, she tolerated everywhere and went against her heart, only hoping that Song Heng could let her father return to Beijing as soon as possible and let him show mercy to the Shen family.
But what about him, these days, he has deliberately cut off her from contact with people outside the palace, leaving her in the dark, watching the Shen family end up like this.
