Xiangming was changing Shen Wan's dressing while peeking at her expression. Shen Wan's expression was the same every time, frowning slightly, pursing her lips, and her eyes were indifferent. Xiangming couldn't help but say: "If Miss feels pain, you might as well say it, and call it out." ”

Shen Wan glanced at her and said, "Doesn't it hurt to call it out?" ”

Xiangming was speechless for a while, and continued to wrap gauze around the wound on Shen Wan's arm. After a while, he said in a low voice: "The twelfth master asked the slave maid to pass a message to the young lady, saying that the matter that the young lady asked him to check has been implemented, and it is indeed the same as the young lady's guess." ”

Shen Wan let out an expressionless "En", Xiangming's hand paused, and asked uncertainly: "Really...... She? ”

Shen Wan said coldly: "It's her." ”

Xiangming helped her bandage it and asked, "Did Miss know that from the beginning?" ”

Shen Wan shook her head: "No, I couldn't figure out a lot of things at the beginning, and then Xia Wenze inadvertently told me about the relationship between his lieutenant general and their brothers and sisters, and I finally figured out those things that I couldn't figure out." ”

"But she ...... Why is she doing this? ”

"Because she hates me!" Shen Wan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Which woman in this harem doesn't hate me?" Concubine Pei, Concubine Qing, and even the Queen Mother. But these people who hate me can't get along with me on the surface, but she looks out of it. However, she is clearly the one with the deepest affection, she cares so much about Chu Xichen, how can she tolerate me beside him? ”

Shen Wan continued: "She is very smart and knows how to hide herself, if it is such a chaotic harem situation now, I am afraid I will not identify it as her." It's a pity that there were too few women around Chu Xichen at that time. She paused, narrowed her eyes and said, "I fell into the water on the night of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and after that, although Chu Xichen and I didn't say anything on our faces, we both thought that Concubine Qing was controlling behind the scenes, so Xichen stayed away from Concubine Qing. Later, there was a fire in Siguotang, and Concubine Pei's palace was caught on the spot, but she committed suicide in fear of sin! What a suicide in fear of sin! Concubine Pei was implicated and demoted to Zhaoyi because of this, so the two concubines were injured. ”

Xiang Ming said, "Only she is unharmed." ”

"That's right, she may have wanted to get rid of me, so when she learned that Concubine Qing wanted to deal with me, she revealed the news to Concubine Pei, so it is not surprising that the little eunuch who pushed me into the water fled to Concubine Pei's palace after failing. But she knew that Xia Wenze had been ordered to protect me, and if I died, Xia Wenze would definitely be severely punished, and might even lose his life. So after I was imprisoned in the Siguo Hall, Concubine Pei went to set fire to it, not because she wanted to burn me, but to lead Xia Wenze to save me. ”

Xiangming sighed: "It's so calculating, but Concubine Pei has become a scapegoat." ”

"Originally, I knew that Xia Wenze was secretly protecting me only with that deputy general, but that deputy general had a lot to do with her, so I figured it out, Concubine Pei thought that there was a master behind the scenes to help, but she was defeated in the end but she didn't know who that person was, because from beginning to end, she-Xia Zhaoyi didn't show up!"

Xiangming suddenly realized: "No wonder! I asked the palace maid who was cleaning the courtyard in Ruizhu Palace, and during that time, someone always threw things inside, but Concubine Pei didn't let her touch it. ”

Shen Wan tugged at the corners of her lips, stroked her injured arm and said, "This time, she was too anxious because of her brother's heart. ”

"Did Miss mean that she begged the emperor to marry Miss to General Xia? That handkerchief is ...... you deliberately, Miss."

Shen Wan glanced at her and said, "I just wanted her to know Xia Wenze's heart for me, but I didn't expect her to be so eager to push me out of the palace." She smiled and said, "Perhaps, I care too much about Chu Xichen, thinking that as long as I marry someone else, Chu Xichen will have her in his eyes?" She didn't know that Chu Xichen, that madman, would not let me marry anyone at all! ”

Xiangming was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "Why does Miss say this about the emperor?" ”

Shen Wan snorted coldly: "He's a madman!" ”

Xiangming opened her mouth and said, "What are you going to do now?" ”

Shen Wan stood up and took two steps, and said, "Now I can only be more careful to deal with it, she must hate me even more now, and she wishes I would die immediately." ”

Xiangming exclaimed: "She still wants to hurt Miss?" Then let's go and tell the emperor! ”

Shen Wan shook her head and said, "If I have evidence, why risk my life." ”

Xiangming was stunned, Shen Wan smiled at her, took her hand and said, "You used to be a very old and heavy person, why is it messed up today?" Remember, if you care, you will be chaotic, don't mess up because of the people you care about, I, Shen Wan, will not be so useless and killed, don't worry. With that, he patted the back of her hand again.

Xiangming sighed after a while: "Miss is really worthy of being the queen's sister, just like this, to some of the queen's past demeanor." ”

Shen Wan was silent for a moment and said, "But my sister said that she doesn't want me to be the second her, she just wants me to live happily." ”

Both of them fell silent, silently listening to the distant chirping of cicadas outside.

In Yuping Palace, Xia Zhaoyi stood under the verandah, there was no palace person around, and after a while, he heard heavy footsteps coming. She didn't look back, the footsteps stopped behind her, it was a man, a man in armor, he didn't salute, but asked briefly, "What the hell is the matter with calling me here?" ”

Xia Zhaoyi stretched out her hand, her sleeve covered the back of her hand, but she was holding a small porcelain bottle in her palm, and she said slowly: "Go and put this in Shen Wan's tea." ”
