Chapter Ninety-Five: Wanrong
"She's not going to die."
Wang Huanzhi looked at her, said coldly, and then turned around decisively and left.
Six years ago, he was weak and could not keep Kanghe.
Now that he has great power, he is enough to protect Shen Yan in the treacherous deep palace.
It's not about love.
He just wanted to make up for some regrets.
At least, the world is lonely, and he can protect one person.
The beauty placed on Shen Yan was an illusion that made him feel warm.
After he returned home, he wrote what Zhong Cui said into a letter, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it to the secret guard swallow in the palace, who handed it to Xiaoxing.
After Shen Yan read the letter, he had a general understanding and fell into deep thought, and put his fingers on the side of the table at will.
Lu Si is ruthless, and he kills his relatives with righteousness.
After Xiaoxing learned about this, he said with some concern: "Then do we need to expose Lu Siji?" ”
"She didn't do anything wrong, she even helped me by putting the pocket watch in the box at the time. It stands to reason that I should be grateful to her. It's just that why did she do it on her wedding dress this time? ”
Shen Yan put away the letter, but felt that it was inappropriate, threw it into the palace lamp, and let the candle flame slowly devour the letter.
There are some things that are a scourge to keep.
This letter is very implicated, once lost, Wang Huanzhi will be charged with imprisoning the palace people and meddling in the affairs of the harem.
"No matter how Lu Si system is, he is just an unrelated person. What Emperor Ji should be most worried about now should be that tomorrow the head of the Xu family will enter the palace to discuss the wedding process! ”
Xiaoxing said with a smile, his eyes full of helplessness.
Shen Yan watched the flames in the palace lamp change from big to small, and smiled faintly.
"This kind of thing, there is His Majesty and Concubine Chen to make the decision for me, I don't need to worry about it at all, and you don't have to worry about it."
Marriage is a major event in life, but the emperor doesn't care at all.
Xiao Xing felt helpless, shook his head, and had to go down first to take care of the affairs of the Qing Si Palace.
The hall was empty, and you could hear the chirping of birds outside the window.
Only Shen Yan was left.
She propped her head in her left hand, her fingers tapping on the table, her eyes contemplated.
At that time, she had just entered the palace, and Concubine Chen once told her that the two would cooperate. She helped herself get justice and disposed of the female officials of the Shanggong Bureau, and correspondingly, the people of the Shanggong Bureau would be replaced by her people.
It's a win-win partnership.
Lu Sizhi put the pocket watch back in Zhong Cui's box, which was indeed a help to himself. If it weren't for that, it would be difficult to punish Zhong Cui that day.
She should be Concubine Chen's person.
The matter of the wedding dress, but is it the handiwork of Concubine Chen?
The wedding dress was mentioned by Concubine Chen, and Mrs. Cheng was also invited into the palace by Concubine Chen. If it weren't for Mrs. Cheng, she wouldn't have known that the wedding dress was reserved for the emperor's wedding.
Interlocking.
At this point, it was hard for Shen Yan to believe that Concubine Chen didn't know.
So, what role did Concubine Chen play behind the incident?
The more Shen Yan thought about it, the more puzzled she felt, people have reasons and motives for doing everything, but she couldn't understand Xu Yu's motives.
All kinds of thoughts were involved, and Shen Yan thought of the cloud soft yarn that was clenched in his hand when the scenery died.
Xu Yu's gorgeous face appeared in her mind, her smile was all amorous, her thoughts became more and more chaotic, Shen Yan couldn't help but shake her head and stay sober.
Wrong!
She also missed a person.
Wang Huanzhi's letter mentioned an unexpected person, Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong was the concubine before the emperor succeeded to the throne, with a pampered and bold temperament, and after entering the palace, she was crowned a beauty. In the years when Kanghe was seriously ill and recuperating, she was the only one who came to visit Kanghe.
It wasn't until she was promoted from beauty to grace that she was interrupted.
When she was in the Sanqing Hall before, Lin Wanrong looked at her with a very calm expression, just an ordinary acquaintance, she couldn't see it at all, and she used to have such a friendship.
Lin Wanrong is a suspicious point.
Shen Yan sorted out his current thoughts, couldn't help but sigh, and slowly opened his eyes to watch the candle flame beating, his eyes clear.
Kang and Emperor Ji are poor people who are swallowed up by this palace city.
And she finally opened a corner of the secret.
……
On the day the head of the Xu family entered the palace, Shen Yan's grounding ended.
When she was dressing up in the morning, Xiaoxing and Fengxuan specially helped her comb her in a solemn bun.
Today, Shen Yan is going to Zichen Hall to meet the head of the Xu family in Huizhou, who is also Xu Jin's father. It's an important occasion and you have to be meticulous.
Looking at himself in the mirror, the clouds and temples were stacked, the eyebrows and eyes were stretched and indifferent, and Shen Yan was a little in a trance.
She had almost forgotten what she had been like when she first arrived.
"Emperor, do you think this corolla is better, or is the tassel better for the hairpin?"
Xiao Xing asked, pointing to the various head jewelry on the table.
Shen Yan thought for a while, pointed at his hand, and said, "Today is to see the head of the Xu family, it is suitable to be well-behaved, but you can't lose the dignity of the emperor." Just that set of butterfly dance tassel hairpins. ”
"Yes. This set of butterfly dance tassel hairpin is still a New Year's gift from Concubine Chen's mother to the emperor, and today is the first time to take it out of the apse treasury. ”
Xiaoxing said as she took an ivory comb to help her comb her half-high bun, three butterfly dancing tassel hairpins on the left and right, and a long tassel hanging down behind her skull.
There are also a few pearl hairpins dotted on the temples.
"It's beautiful."
Xiaoxing looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Shen Yan saw himself dressed up in the mirror, like a delicate puppet doll, being dragged to laugh and be dragged to investigate the case.
A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, detached and indifferent.
……
When I arrived at the Zichen Palace, the queen was also there.
The emperor and queen sat on the upper seat, and Xu Jin sat in the lower position with a middle-aged man who was sitting in danger, looking at his posture, he was probably the head of the Xu family.
As soon as she walked into the Zichen Palace, everyone's eyes fell on her.
When Shen Yan saw the empress, the smile on the corner of her mouth almost reached the freezing point, if it weren't for the emperor's face, she wanted to turn around and leave.
"Kang He has seen the imperial brother, Niangniang."
She saluted, and the head of the Xu family, who was sitting on one side, looked at her like this, her face remained unchanged, and she couldn't tell whether she was satisfied or picky.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and the emperor has been cleared."
Hearing the queen's words, Shen Yan reached out and stroked his face suspiciously, and said seriously: "Kang He has learned some sword styles these days, and he has lost some weight because he has practiced martial arts. ”
Her hands are delicate and slender, and after looking at it a few times, ordinary people only find it pleasing to the eye.
But the queen was cold.
These words made her think of Shen Yan almost killing Fengxue in front of her for a moment!
After not seeing her for a long time, she almost forgot this fear, and Shen Yan's words brought her back to reality.
"It's a good thing for the emperor to practice martial arts, and if you are weak, you should practice martial arts to strengthen your body."
The head of the Xu family nodded with satisfaction when he heard Shen Yan's words.
This daughter-in-law is good everywhere, but she is too sick and weak.
Xu Jin's eyes fell on Shen Yan's hand, her tiger's cocoon was because of martial arts? But when they first met, Shen Yan didn't know martial arts, and he had no internal strength.
Every man has his own mind.
After everyone sat down, the emperor coughed lightly twice and said softly: "Kanghe's marriage is a major event of the royal family, and the queen will preside over it." If the head of the Xu family has any request, he can say it directly. ”
