Chapter 173: Killing Intent (3)

Just as she was thinking like this, it was rumored outside that Xiaoshizi came with Concubine Ming.

Shen Wan smiled hard and said, "Please come in, I know they will be fine!" ”

However, when Xiao Shizi just came in with Concubine Ming alone, the last fantasy in Shen Wan's heart also collapsed.

"Where's Bizhu? Why didn't you bring her? Shen Wan tried her best to restrain herself and asked.

Concubine Ming looked at her innocently, as if she didn't know what was going on, but said to Shen Wan: "Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry. Probably because I learned the rules too slowly, the Queen Mother was very dissatisfied. She called Bizhu over, and I never saw Bizhu again. But I didn't send anyone to re-teach the rules! Your Royal Highness, can I not learn the rules? ”

Xiangming, who had been silent, suddenly sobbed, Bizhu and her have always been good friends, they also entered the palace in the same year, and she is also the one who knows Bizhu and her united front...... Now, those people are all dead, all dead!

Who betrayed them, who the hell was it! If she knew, she wouldn't let that person go!

Shen Wan clenched her hand and whispered, "Don't cry!" ”

Xiangming nodded, biting her lower lip desperately.

Shen Wan said to Concubine Ming: "Bizhu can't teach you the rules anymore, but in order for you to serve the emperor, you can't help but learn the rules." This palace will arrange someone else to teach you, so you can go out first. ”

Concubine Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that Her Royal Highness the Queen didn't blame me, I will definitely learn the rules well, and I won't make Her Royal Highness and the Queen Mother angry anymore." ”

Shen Wan waved her hand and motioned for her to go down.

When Concubine Ming left, Shen Wan stood up, slowly walked to Xiao Shizi, and stared at him deeply.

"You're alive." It took a long time for her to spit out these words.

Xiao Shizi couldn't be more shrewd, knowing that Shen Wan was suspicious of him, he quickly knelt down and said, "If Niangniang suspects the slave, you can immediately give the slave to death." But this is not done by a minion, no matter how human a minion is, he will not betray his brothers and sisters! ”

Shen Wan leaned over, continued to stare into his eyes, and said coldly, "Do you know who it is?" ”

Xiaoshizi nodded and said, "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Shen Wan was furious: "Then you don't say it quickly!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Shizi kowtowed, raised his head and said, "There are ten people left in the palace by the first queen, in addition to the minions, there are five other eunuchs, and the palace maids In addition to Xiangming, Bilian, and Bizhu, there are also two palace maids. The Empress Dowager executed the other four eunuchs who were in addition to the slaves. These minions don't know, and they probably don't even know that the person who betrayed us is not a eunuch. Among the palace maids, Xiangming stayed with Niangniang, Bizhu, Bilian and another palace maid also died, leaving only that traitor!

The minion checked several people, checked the most likely ones, and finally let the minions find out, that person is the incense spike next to Yao Ronghua! ”

Shen Wan was not impressed by this fragrant spike, but she heard Xiangming scream: "Is it her?" ”

"You know her?"

Xiangming took a deep breath and said: "It turns out that when the first queen was still there, she served the first queen, and later was left in Shou'an Palace by the queen mother, Yao Ronghua entered the palace, and the queen mother gave Yao Ronghua the incense spike. Counting it up, Xiangsui and I also entered the palace in the same year. ”

Shen Wan listened, thought quietly for a while, and said, "Just by herself, does she have the ability to investigate and punish others?" Xiangming, we don't know, she's a palace maid, and she knows it all! ”

Xiangming asked, "Niangniang is talking about the Queen Mother?" ”

Shen Wan was silent, and the painting on the side suddenly said: "It doesn't have to be all the Queen Mother!" Niangniang forgot that the Queen Mother had already rewarded Yao Ronghua with the incense! If it was the Queen Mother, it should have been found out a long time ago! However, it was after Yao Ronghua and Niangniang went to Yuhua Temple to pray for blessings! ”

Shen Wan turned her head sideways and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Huazhi frowned and said: "As far as I know, Yao Ronghua has always attached great importance to this fragrant spike, and he took her with him when he went in and out, but this time he followed Niangniang out of the palace to pray for blessings, but he didn't bring incense spikes." If the Queen Mother instructed Xiangsui to investigate and punish these people, she would not have waited until now. In addition, there is another doubt, Niangniang, you went out of the palace to pray for blessings, originally without concubines, why did Yao Ronghua insist on following? Moreover, why did Kaho, who had always been trusted, stay in the palace? Isn't that all of this a strange thing? ”

Shen Wan understood, the painting suspected Yao Ronghua, not the Queen Mother.

Xiangsui has been with the Queen Mother for so long, if it was the Queen Mother's instructions, Xiangsui should find out soon. But now! What's more, with the wisdom of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that such a detailed list of personnel will not be found, but Yao Ronghua is different! She's cold, smart, and good at disguise! If she found out, Shen Wan wouldn't feel strange at all!

Whether it is the Queen Mother or Yao Ronghua, they are all in a group!

"You have to be careful," Shen Wan said slowly, "The rest of the people are dead, Xiangming, Xiaoshizi, and now only you are left." You are now a thorn in the side of the Queen Mother. Xiaoshizi is the person in front of the emperor, so the queen mother will probably not move you for a while. But after all, the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, once she loses patience, the emperor will not embarrass you for a slave and his biological mother. ”

Xiaoshizi's head was buried deeply, and he said extremely desolately: "The slave knows." ”

His appearance reminded Shen Wan of Gonggong An, a person who was also abandoned after being used.

So, thinking of that holy decree again, his hatred for Chu Xichen deepened a little.

"And Xiangming, the Queen Mother hates me the most, you have to be careful for a day when you are by my side. Maybe one day, I won't be able to keep myself...... So I can't guarantee that I will be able to keep you. ”

Xiangming knelt down and said calmly: "As long as the slave maid is alive, he will be loyal to the mother for one day. ”

Shen Wan looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt extremely desolate in her heart, waved her hand weakly, and said, "You all go down, this palace is tired." ”

Maybe I'm really tired, I'm in a hurry, and I've dealt with so many things when I come back. It's true...... It's tiring.

The palace people retreated quietly, and Cui Shanggong was worried about Shen Wan and stayed with her.

The curtain was heavy, blocking all sounds from the outside world.

Shen Wan held her head with one hand, and gently tapped her two-inch-long nails like shallots on the table with the other.

After a while, she suddenly asked, "The Queen Mother is only in her forties this year, right?" ”

Cui Shanggong was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes, forty-six." ”

Shen Wanwu smiled to herself and said, "It's a young queen mother, and she can probably live for a few more decades, but ...... I can't wait! I'm afraid that if I wait any longer, I won't be able to wait until the day I become the queen mother, and I will have to die in front of her! ”
