Chapter Twenty-Three: A Night Visit to Qixiang Palace

"Have we met?" After a long time, such a sentence popped out of Li Yu's mouth. "The emperor laughed, this is the first time the courtiers have met the emperor." I knew that Li Yu was drunk that day, so I didn't plan to meet him for the first time when I was ten years old, so I walked back to the chair next to me and sat down, trying to use the objects on the table to play with the objects on the table to get rid of my embarrassment.

"But when I look at you, it's like I've known you for a long time, and I know Jun Chu like an old friend returning to ......" I looked at Li Yu's appearance, and I couldn't help but feel sad, he probably saw Chihiro's shadow in me.

"Maybe I'm too similar to my sister, so the emperor feels like an old friend." I replied with a shudder.

"No, you are not the same kind of person as the queen, how can you be similar, your eyes tell me that you are not from the world......" Li Yu got up and walked towards me, did he see something? I was nervous for a moment.

"The emperor laughed, if it's okay, the courtiers will retire first." I quickly got up and took a step back and replied.

"That's it," Li Yu waved his hand and continued: "Tomorrow night is Zhong Xuan's birthday, and when the time comes, I will order someone to hold a banquet in the queen's palace. "Maybe he saw my predicament, and Li Yu left on his own after finishing speaking.

The door behind him opened and closed again. For a while, this Buddha hall was empty and I was the only one left, I remembered the days when I was imprisoned in Kaifeng in my previous life, and I remembered that I always liked to sit in front of the Buddha at that time, not kneel or worship, just sit in it again and again and feel the smell of incense. I sighed softly, why is this happening? In the past nine years, I have thought about how I have met Li Yu countless times, and now that I see it, why am I not a trace of joy or joy of reunion......

Shang Wen's shadow suddenly flashed in my mind, thinking of the days when I met him for the first time in front of the dog cave, and the countless days of practicing martial arts with him in the Zhou Mansion, perhaps, the fate after rebirth is quietly changing something.

"Buddha, you'll give me the best arrangement, right?" After bowing to the Buddha reverently, I got up and left.

As soon as I arrived at the Yaoguang Palace, I saw my sister go out with Liuli.

"Second Miss is back, and the queen is preparing to look for you." Liuli hurriedly ran over and took my hand and said, I looked at Liuli and nodded silently.

"Let's go inside."

I stepped forward to help my sister walk to the hall, and then told me in detail what happened in the Buddhist hall today, I still deliberately concealed that Li Yu left me behind, a dream in my previous life, I know my sister's worries.

"Do you think Concubine Xian is framing you?" My sister said to me.

"No, it won't be her, with Concubine Xian's character, she will definitely expose me as soon as she sees me, instead of waiting until the next day, so I suspect that Concubine Xian was deceived and mistrusted others, so she will think that the person who buried the puppet must be me."

"There is some truth in what you say, but Concubine Xian has always been unclose to people, so how can she easily trust her?"

Of course, I also know what my sister said.

"That's it, Liuli, you help me find out now, and see which palace Concubine Xian Niangniang went to after she came out of the Buddha Hall today." I was reincarnated and said to Ruri.

"Sister, why is this?" My sister asked puzzled.

"You'll find out later." I dragged my sister briskly into the room, not intending to explain.

It didn't take long for Liuli to come back, and told me that after Concubine Xian came out of the Buddha Hall today, she went straight to the palace of Shen Guiren, and the two had a big fight, and there was no one waiting in front at that time, so no one knew what happened, only heard Concubine Xian leave and shouted that she wanted to report something.

"I see, you go to my sister's side first."

After Liuli went down, I opened the burden I brought from home, that day I secretly let Sandalwood put a set of night clothes in it without Aunt Liu Ruo, this night clothes were prepared by Shang Wen for me to go out of the house at night, since last year, I always hide from my father sneaking out of the house at night to find Shang Wen to practice martial arts, after all, it is much more convenient to practice light skills in the forest than Zhou's house.

Finally waited until late at night, I quietly slipped out of the Yaoguang Palace, this time my destination was the Qixiang Palace of the Shen Guiren, if this thing was really done by the Shen Guiren, then, I would definitely be able to find clues in it.

Fortunately, this is a harem, so there are not many guards who keep vigil, and I have learned light skills well, so I basically entered Qixiang Palace without much effort.

"Strange." I glanced at Shen Guiren's bedroom and muttered quietly, it's so late, and there is still a light in her room?

I avoided the doorway guard, followed the corner to the window, and carefully observed the situation in the room through the crack in the window, how could they be inside? After seeing the people in the room, I froze a little, no wonder there were guards at the door, I should have thought of it when I first saw it.

At this time, there were a total of three people in the room, Li Yu, Shen Guiren and Aunt Liu Xin, if it was just Li Yu, this would be normal, after all, this was his harem, but why was Aunt Liu Xin also here? I want to come to Li Yu and I want to be together.

Also, even I can see such an obvious thing, let alone Aunt Liu Xin, who has lived in the palace for a long time? It's just that this Shen Guigui chose a teammate who is not very smart. I put my ear to the window, trying to hear the conversation.

"Does the emperor still refuse to believe what I say?" It was Shen Guiren who spoke.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that all the evidence shows that you did it." Li Yu glanced at the sewing box on the table and said. So it looks like I'm missing a correction drama.

"If it weren't for being instructed by someone, how could the concubine dare to do such a rebellious thing."

"Who?"

"The concubine really can't say it, if I say it today, then this harem really can't tolerate me anymore."

Can't afford it? If Shen Guiren did not lie, then the person who instructed her must have a very high status. And there is only one person in this harem who can control the power of life and death...... Could it really be her?

"In that case, I know." When Li Yu said this, I saw the murderous intent in his eyes, and I knew that Li Yu was going to kill people.

"For the sake of the people behind the emperor, you can surround the lives of your concubines." Shen Guiren also noticed the change in the emperor and quickly knelt down.

"If it's because of her, I can't spare you." After Li Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Seeing that there was no result in retention, Shen Guiren simply sat down on the ground.

"Shen noble, drink it." Aunt Liu Xin took out a small medicine bottle from her arms.

"Why is this happening, she clearly said that she would keep me safe!" Shen Guiren muttered to himself, as if he was saying it to Aunt Liu Xin, and it was more like saying it to himself.

"This is the harem, you should know better than anyone else."

"Hehe, what a harem ......" Shen Guiren laughed, and then snatched the medicine bottle in Aunt Liu Xin's hand and drank it all.

"Is it for her? Do you have to keep me for her sake? Shen Guiren, who had drunk the medicine, slowly walked to the bedside. Tell the emperor to send me back to Jiangnan, my mother will only know where I want to be buried. ”

"Yes. The nobles can go with peace of mind, as for the wishes of the nobles, the slaves and maids will inform the emperor. After Aunt Liu Xin finished speaking, she turned around and left.

After making sure that Aunt Liu Xin had gone away, I turned over and entered the room, and Shen Guiren was lying on the bed at this time, his face pale.

It seems to be a chronic medicine, after all, Li Yu has just left, so naturally she will not be allowed to die immediately.

"Is that you?" Seeing me, Shen Guiren struggled to get up.

"Lie down, it won't be so painful when the medicine comes out." I spoke slowly.

"Like, it's really like, do you want to ask me the truth?"

"No need to ask, in this harem, who else has this ability but her?"

"Then you want to see me laugh?"

"No, I've seen everything that just happened, I can't save you, and I won't laugh at you. I'm here just to know one thing, what is her purpose in doing this? ”

As I spoke, I took out the rouge from my sleeve, "My face is not good, let's wipe it off." Shen Guiren did not refuse, and I rubbed the rouge on her lips little by little.

"For you." After being silent for a while, Shen Guiren stared at me and said these three words word by word.

"For me?"

"Yes, it's all for you, since you haven't entered the palace yet, all this has been prepared, hahahaha......" Shen Guiren suddenly laughed, and then his expression quickly distorted, and the effect of the medicine took off.

"Don't laugh, don't get excited." Seeing the Shen noble person who had the effect of the drug, I was at a loss for a while.

"Go back, you will know slowly, she has no intention of harming you, cough cough cough cough ......" Shen Guiren suddenly coughed, and blood continued to flow out of her mouth.

"Shen Guiren, have you slept?" The voice of a maid came from outside the door.

It was really a bad time, I glanced at the Shen nobleman on the bed, turned around and turned out the window.

"Ah......h It's not the result I want, but it's not for me, as Aunt Liu Xin said, this is the harem.
