Chapter 218: Desperate Situation
So even if she had to do it all over again, she would still do it.
"You're just going to let him do this nonsense?"
"My subordinates can't stop it."
Xie Juan waved his hand, Shen An is not an ordinary stubborn person, and it is tantamount to daydreaming to expect Feng Jue to stop him.
"That's it, you go down, there will be such a thing in the future, don't let him come by temperament."
Feng Jue's face was strange, and he stood in place in a daze.
Xie Juan raised his eyes and looked at him: "What?" Anything else to say? β
When she looked up, she saw Feng Jue standing in front of the door, dressed neatly in black, and although his eyes were sharp, he had already retracted his edge.
Although Feng Jue is respectful to her on weekdays, it is only on the surface, but there are thorns on the inside.
"The prince has not been easy in the past two years, and the princess cares about the princess a lot. Don't hide it from the princess, this is the first time that someone cares about the prince. β
"Huh?"
Xie Juan looked confused, and Feng Jue had already stood up neatly and walked out.
As soon as Feng Jue left, Xie Juan lay lazily on the chair, thinking about what Feng Jue had just said.
Immediately, I understood what Feng Jue meant by saying this.
A restless stepmother, and a wife who always wants to marry her own life, not to mention the little emperor and the queen mother.
Shen Qingyuan is still young, many people are staring at the throne, he is so eager to grow up, and he also has a great willingness to take over the burden on Shen An's shoulders.
As for the Queen Mother, she is actually secretly afraid of Shen An.
Not to mention the other people in the house, it is clear that Shen An can barely listen to what he says, and the others are afraid of Shen An like a tiger and a leopard.
Thinking about this, Xie Juan suddenly had no appetite.
This unlucky kid.
However, she didn't promise them to use her to threaten Shen An.
"Aman, let's go to the palace."
Xie Juan shouted, and Ah Man came in from outside.
Aman: "Princess, don't you like to enter the palace?" What are we going to do inside the palace? β
Xie Juan stood up and stretched, turning his neck and making a clicking bubble sound.
"I just miss the Queen Mother."
Aman said: "Isn't the prince injured? The princess didn't go over to guard ......"
Xie Juan said, and had already walked to the dresser: "Sure they have come, and they are all here, it's useless for me to guard, but do something useful." Aman was stunned: "What does the princess think, what is a useful thing?" β
Xie Wan's red lips hooked slightly, and said, "You'll know later." β
"Wei Jingβ"
"The subordinates are here.
Wei Jing jumped down and stood straight in the courtyard.
"I'll go to the palace to play with the Queen Mother, the prince is injured, you just go to him to guard, I don't have anything to do here."
Wei Jing's brows furrowed, but he didn't answer, and he didn't move.
But he was a little angry in his heart, Shen An was injured, and as his only wife, Xie Juan just wanted to go out to play.
He only had a slight change in his opinion of Xie Juan some time ago, but he didn't expect it to be the same.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xie Juan waved his hand: "It's okay, you can go, don't worry about me." β
Wei Jing's face flashed with struggle, and to be honest, he definitely wanted to go over and guard.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xie Juan walked out to push him.
Wei Jing jumped up all of a sudden, and said stiffly: "Take care, princess." β
After saying that, he turned around and went to the courtyard next door.
Xie Juan clapped his hands: "It's okay now, let's get rid of Wei Jing." β
Ah Man poked his head out: "Princess, what are you doing with Wei Jing?" β
Xie Juan smiled: "You don't care about this." Let's enter the palace. β
The carriage drove all the way to the gate of the palace, Xie Juan still held the token of the Queen Mother in his hand, and Xie Juan came all the way to the courtyard of the Empress Dowager without much notice.
Xie Juan waited at the door for a while, and the eunuch who went to report came over.
"Princess Qiqi, the Queen Mother is going?? The palace watched the emperor practice martial arts, and the slave maid took you over. β
The little emperor is also there?
She's not going to be that lucky, right?
"Then father-in-law let's go."
Xie Xuan's eyes signaled slightly, and Ah Man stepped forward, took some broken silver and handed it to the little eunuch.
The little eunuch silently accepted it.
Xie Juan asked, "I want to inquire with my father-in-law, didn't Lord Taibao come today?" β
Liu Congzhi is Taibao, that is, one of Shen Qingyuan's teachers.
When she was in Haozhou, she had heard that Liu Congji would come every morning to give a lecture to the little emperor.
These things are not a secret, the little eunuch said with a smile: "Today, the emperor and all the adults have just returned, and they haven't started to lecture yet, and Lord Taibao has not come today." β
The corners of Xie Xuan's mouth hooked slightly, it's good that he is not there.
She can't move Shen Changxing, and she can't move Liu Congxing.
It didn't take long for the little eunuch to take Xie Juan to the martial arts arena.
The little emperor was practicing martial arts under the shade of the tree, and the Queen Mother stood under the eaves and beckoned to Xie Juan.
Xie Juan happily went.
"Just came back, why don't you rest for a while?"
The sun hung in the sky, and Xie Xuan's cheeks were slightly flushed.
The Queen Mother led Xie Juan to sit down, knowing that she was greedy, the Queen Mother asked the people below to bring fruits and snacks.
"Queen Mother
The Queen Mother noticed that something was wrong with Xie Juan, so she turned around and said, "What's wrong?" Did the prince bully you? β
"It's not ...... either"
Originally, Xie Juan had already planned, and when she saw the Queen Mother, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, but when she really saw the Queen Mother, she couldn't say anything.
The emperor threw down the sword in his hand, ran over with a hum, and drank tea outside the railing, before his dark eyes looked at Xie Juan.
"What are you doing here?"
Xie Juan breathed again, and his tone was as calm as possible: "Shen An is injured." β
She couldn't swallow this breath, if it was before, she would have rushed directly to Shen Changxing and Liu Congji's mansion to make a fuss.
Although he can let out this evil breath, Shen An will be more passive at that time.
The little emperor was stunned, grabbed the railing and jumped down.
"What do you say? How could Uncle Huang get hurt? It can't be that you hurt Uncle Huang again, right? β
The little eunuch next to him hurriedly went to help: "Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon body." β
The little emperor waved his hand impatiently, and the doctor of "Dong" stood in front of Xie Xuan.
"I warned you a long time ago, if you hurt Uncle Wang again, I will kill you for Uncle Huang!"
Xie Juan couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.
"If I hurt Shen An, I will still attack and tell you? Oh, I sue myself? β
The Queen Mother said: "Yuan'er, don't make trouble, listen to the princess first, who hurt the prince?" The prince is strong in martial arts on weekdays, and there are layers of guards around him, what is going on? β
Hearing this, the little emperor sat down, his eyes constantly looking at Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan's eyes looked around, and the Queen Mother only left a few people close to her, and the others retreated one after another.
"That's probably it, Shen Wenling's death is related to an evil art, why she died, Shen Changxing should know better than us. He just wanted to threaten Shen An with this matter. β
The little emperor put the teacup on the table with a "bang".
"It's so deceitful! Go and bring the three of them to me! I just want to ask them, has their conscience been eaten by dogs? If it weren't for Uncle Huang's troubles over the years, what would they be? β
"And this Liu Congji, I respect him so much on weekdays, he actually colluded with the Peace King, what kind of thing is he?"
The Queen Mother was more complicated than Shen Qingyuan thought.
"Then have you ever asked, what does the prince mean? I also heard that Shen Wenling's death was strange, and the most important thing in this matter is how to investigate. β
Xie Juan was very satisfied with the little emperor's reaction, as if this little broken boy was not so annoying.
"No, when I came, the doctor happened to come over, he just bandaged the wound at this time, if the queen mother investigates this case, I have a brother's method, but I need your cooperation."
Both of them looked at Xie Xuan.
Xie Juan beckoned, and the two of them leaned their ears together.
"Good!" The little emperor looked at Xie Juan suspiciously, "But can you do it?" β
The Queen Mother leaned back slightly, and said hesitantly: "This is still too risky, if something happens to you at that time, how can I explain to the prince?" β
Xie Juan scratched his ears and leaned back: "Then there is no other way." Before Shen Wenling died, he said this, Qingyang Dan should still be in Shen Changxing's hands, he can even harm his own daughter, what else can't be done? β
The little emperor looked at the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, what is Qingyang Dan?" Can it really control the fortune of the country? β
The Queen Mother shook her head: "How can there be anything that can affect the luck of the country, there was no Qingyang Dan in the Jin Kingdom back then, and it was not the same as subduing several small countries around it, but,
When the regent was on the boat, he actually told me something about Qingyang Dan, I don't know much, but the palace is saying that the Emperor Taishang is very obsessed with Qingyang Dan, and even because Concubine Zhen moved Qingyang Dan, he was imprisoned. β
"Concubine Zhen?"
Xie Juan was stunned, this was the second time she had heard Concubine Zhen's name, thinking of the nameless lonely grave on the wilderness, Xie Juan's heart tightened.
The Queen Mother smiled awkwardly: "Look at me, what do you do when you mention people who have been dead for so many years." It's still too dangerous for you to steal Qingyang Dan, if you really don't want to go,
I will find a way to clean up Shen Changxing and Liu Congjian and others, as for the matter of Qingyang Dan, I still feel that I need to think about it in the long run. β
"No! According to what the queen mother said, Qingyang Dan is the important weapon of the country, how can it be placed in Shen Changxing's hands. β
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and only after half a sound did she say: "A-Yuan also has his own ideas." But have you thought clearly, now that the prince is on the couch, can you do it alone? β
The little emperor lowered his head: "I can't always be the emperor's uncle, what's more, the emperor's uncle usually protects us, but now that he is injured, if I am afraid, I am afraid, does the queen mother think I can sit on the throne in the future?" β
Xie Juan patted the little emperor on the shoulder, and the little emperor immediately raised his head angrily and looked at Xie Juan, his eyes full of anger.
"How dare you bang it!"
Unexpectedly, I saw Xie Juan's eyes full of encouragement: "Good job!" Late-night pulling usually doesn't hurt you in vain! But you don't have to be so close to the enemy, what you have to do is to call Shen Changxing into the palace, it is best to let him go back early tomorrow morning, I don't believe it, he can still take Qingyang Dan with him. β
"In addition, if you don't worry about forcing people to scold you, call Liu Congjian in and clean him up, it will be regarded as revenge for Shen An.
The little emperor was very reluctant to slap Xie Xuan's hand away: "I don't need you to tell me what to do!" I have my own ideas!
"Okay, you have your own ideas, so tell me what to do?"
Xie Juan smiled helplessly, and he could also understand that Shen Qingyuan was so young, he had to face so many ill-intentioned people, and he was raised in the palace like a moon by the stars, so it was not surprising that he had become such a character.
The little emperor's face turned red, because he wanted to come and think about the past, Xie Xuan's method was undoubtedly the best way.
Shen Changxing is still King Ping no matter what, and they also have the Empress Dowager on their heads, and the Empress Dowager is nostalgic, if there is no evidence, they can't move Shen Changxing at all.
He glanced at Xie Xuan, still a little worried: "Are you really good?" Do you want to send a few Ouchi guards to follow you? β
"Do you think I'm stupid or Shen Changxing is stupid? Don't involve you and the Queen Mother at that time, I can still run if I am discovered, besides, even if Shen Changxing catches me, he will not dare to do anything with me. β
The little emperor was skeptical.
But Xie Xuan's words were very straightforward, and it hurt him a little.
Although he and the Queen Mother are noble, they are restricted everywhere, and anyone with a discerning eye can see who the real master of this palace is.
