Chapter 108: The People in the Palace
"Then I ask you, do you need the emperor's approval to sit on this throne? Even if he didn't announce it himself, he had to make an edict, right? These are eternal truths that have remained unchanged since ancient times.
"Then what's the use of squeezing each other between your princes? Isn't it mainly to please the emperor? Shen Xi looked at Chang Yi with a look of incomprehension, "The emperor's heart has become very fast, and disliking you now doesn't mean that he won't like you in the future." ”
Whether it is Chang Dry or Chang Wen, they all win the emperor's favor because of the powerful forces behind them, but they fight to the death in private, and when the time comes, they will lose both.
"What the emperor wants to set up, all of them have the strength to ascend to the throne, but you think things too simply." Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi and explained to her, "Otherwise, what's the use of setting up a prince who is not supported by all officials to be the emperor?" ”
"So, we're going to do both at the same time! Not only to get the support of hundreds of officials, but also to win the emperor's favor, is the most foolproof way. "Shen Xi knows that since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world, and this is the same when the emperor, if the hundred officials do not support it, even if they sit on it, the court will be in chaos, and the hundred officials will also see the strength among the princes.
Not all courtiers are as thorough as Liu Congwen.
Shen Xi said it like spittle, and she felt that her mouth was dry.
Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi looked at her extremely excited appearance and nodded slightly.
"However, how can the matter of Madame be solved, and let it pass like this? Isn't it too cheap for them? Although Shen Xi is not a powerful person, she is a person who will repay her eyes, so naturally she will not want this matter to pass.
Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi, "What do you think?" ”
"I don't have any opinions, tell Mrs. Ru the truth of the matter, if she knows that it was the second prince who did it to her, what do you think she will do?" Shen Xi smiled as he spoke, and smiled evilly.
When Shen Xi said this, Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi suddenly realized that if Mrs. Ru knew about it, she would definitely tell the queen, so the queen and Chang Wen naturally added another fire.
No one will let others threaten them.
Leaving Chang Yi's mansion, Lu Qingyi was full of praise for Shen Xi, and Shen Xi was overjoyed, she had never received so much praise from Lu Qingyi in one day.
After a busy day, after Shen Xi returned to the bookstore, she was already tired and paralyzed, and she lay on the bed motionless and didn't want to move.
If it weren't for being too hungry, she probably wouldn't want to get up to find something to eat, she would be tired and have back pain after running for a day, this Lu Qingyi and Chang Yi are often running, how tired are they?
As soon as she thought of eating, Shen Fang cooked chicken soup for her and brought it to her, smelling the smell of chicken soup, Shen Xi was about to come back to life, she smiled at Shen Fang, "Thank you, auntie." ”
"Where have you been all day? I'm going to die of fear. Shen Fang felt distressed when she saw Shen Xi's tired appearance.
"It's just a matter of dealing with some things, I'll stay with Lu Qingyi, what else do you have to worry about." Shen Xi gulped down the soup and ate the meat.
"You're not too young, you should let your aunt save some snacks." Shen Fang has been relieved of Shen Xi since she was hunted down and killed last time, but Shen Xi will never tell her these things, she can only be frightened by herself.
Shen Xi raised his head, and then saw that Shen Fang's eyes were red, "Auntie, you just need to help me look at the store, I have my own sense of other things, don't worry, I also want to live a few more years, and I won't touch the mold myself." "Beautiful book
After drinking the chicken soup, Shen Xi fell asleep directly on the bed.
The next day she was woken up by the sound of an argument downstairs, she went downstairs to see that it was Mrs. Ru, no wonder she always felt that the voice was familiar, she frowned slightly and thought to herself what she was doing so early? Could it be that someone is dead again, and it can't be done to frame her?
With a smile on his face, he walked towards Mrs. Ru, "Mrs. Ru, my bookstore hasn't opened yet, why do you have time to come to my store?" ”
"Shen Xi, let me ask you, did you kill my maidservant?" Mrs. Ru glared at Shen Xi viciously and asked.
Shen Xi looked at Mrs. Ru's haggard appearance, but smiled, "Mrs. Ru didn't rest last night?" She paused and said, "Also, whoever happens to this kind of thing can't sleep." ”
His personal maid died tragically in the house, and died quietly, no one in this house found out, which was a big blow to Mrs. Ru, and now she doesn't even know the murderer, and she doesn't know who is secretly against her.
"Don't pretend, besides you and Lu Qingyi, who else would do such a thing?" Mrs. Ru stared at Shen Xi and gritted her teeth.
"It depends on Madame, have you offended any big people besides us?" Shen Xi was still smiling like a flower, but that smile seemed to be much more meaningful.
As soon as Shen Xi said this, Mrs. Ru's face changed greatly, she frowned slightly, and deliberately lowered her voice, "Do you know who the murderer is?" ”
Shen Xi nodded, and then leaned into Mrs. Ru's ear, "It's from the palace." ”
Only four words, she said plainly, but she was like a lady like thunder, and the one she had with the palace was only the queen mother, but the queen mother was in the same boat with her now, and she would not do this to her.
Offending the people in the palace is not a good thing for her, and now that they have come to the door, this is a particularly big blow to her.
"Madame, do you really think that you and the queen will be foolproof if you work together? Don't forget, there is another one in the palace, who is no worse than the queen, and he is still a mortal enemy with the queen. Shen Xi smiled at Mrs. Ru again, she said this, Mrs. Ru would naturally guess who it was.
That handwriting is also like his style.
Mrs. Ru stumbled away after hearing this, she never thought that she would offend Chang Wen by cooperating with the queen, she had heard of Chang Wen's methods, and now she was just killing her maidservant, so would she do it to her in the future?
Shen Xi looked like a lady, and couldn't help but shake his head, they were all mercenary people, but he didn't know that he was the one who hurt him in the end.
Shen Fang saw that Mrs. Ru was gone, so Shen Fang came forward to ask, "Who is she?" Looks like a very rich woman, how could you offend her? ”
"She is Lu Qingyi's stepmother." Shen Xi said indifferently, Mrs. Ru is a powerful character, but if compared with the queen and the second prince, it is only the tip of the iceberg.
"Stepmother?" Shen Fang was a little surprised, "How can this Doctor Lu still have a stepmother?" Look at this dress, it looks like a rich family in the capital! ”
"So you think Lu Qingyi is very poor?" Shen Xi looked at Shen Fang's surprised look, presumably she didn't know Lu Qingyi's true identity yet.
"And who the hell is he?" Shen Fang thought about it, since Lu Qingyi would send someone to protect Shen Xi, it would definitely not be simple.
