Chapter 265: Ulterior Motives (1)

Shen Wan and Xiao Wumian were both stunned, and instinctively blurted out, "Why don't you report it?" ”

Xichen just sneered at her, and said, "If it is reported, how can I hear that the queen is actually conspiring with the Marquis of Zhennan about this?" ”

Shen Wan was a little weak-hearted, her eyes flickered, and she asked in a low voice: "Conspiracy?" The palace and the Marquis of Zhennan are just catching up, what kind of conspiracy are they talking about? ”

Xichen took a step forward, pointed at her and Xiao Wumian and said, "I have indeed found out about him, he has something to do with that assassin, and he has a great plan to enrich the country!" I hear it! Wan Wan, if you defend him so much, can't you let go of your so-called restoration like him? ”

Shen Wan felt a coldness in her heart, looked into his eyes and said, "The matter has not been clarified yet, how can you easily make up your mind?" Even though Xiao Wumian knows those people, it doesn't mean that he is the mastermind behind the scenes! I was just asking him to go back and ask you to find out, and you broke in! As for what is reinstated, I just want to say one thing; I am the queen of the northern kingdom, and he is the marquis of Zhennan in the northern kingdom! ”

Xichen stared into her eyes and asked word by word, "Can you guarantee that he has nothing to do with the assassination?" ”

Shen Wan also stared into his eyes and replied, "He will definitely not hurt me and Zhao'er!" ”

Xichen smiled coldly and said, "Yes, killing you and Zhao'er is fake, but the life you want me to do is true!" ”

"You!" Shen Wan was angry and angry, "Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, since the emperor has already issued an order to appease the Marquis of Zhennan, he shouldn't say such a thing today." ”

"Really? The meaning of appeasement was proposed by the queen, right? I just want to be a favor, but I didn't expect that the queen's approach was to hide selfishness! I...... I shouldn't have said yes so easily! He looked at Shen Wan with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, then looked at Xiao Wumian and said, "You...... With ill intentions, he intends to cut off the title of Marquis of Zhennan......"

"Your Majesty!" Shen Wan hurriedly stopped.

Xichen glanced at her lightly and said, "The cadres announced later." ”

Shen Wan was stunned, she usually wouldn't say the opinions of the court, but even if she did, Xichen would mostly adopt it. But now, he actually uses this regulation to restrict himself?

Xiao Wumian didn't care, smiled faintly, and said to Shen Wan: "I'm afraid the emperor has long been dissatisfied with me, and the queen doesn't have to be embarrassed, without this title, I may be able to live longer." ”

Shen Wan glared at him and said to Xichen: "You know that Xiao Wumian is a talent, especially in the aspect of the water division, and the deployment of the water division is indispensable for the use of troops in the western country in the future!" However, although the sailors are strong, they are still useless after landing, so it is very important for the sailors to fight on land! As soon as the northerners arrived in the south, they were excluded, so it was better to use the southerners, preferably the people they trusted the most! ”

There was a faint anger in Xichen's eyes: "You, just defend him like this?" ”

Shen Wan fearlessly met his slightly angry eyes, and said coldly: "The concubine is for Your Majesty!" ”

"I don't need it!" Xichen shouted loudly, "Take Zhennanhou back to the house, you can't enter the palace without an edict!" ”

He finally gave in and did not take Xiao Wumian's title, Xiao Wumian left, leaving the two to glare angrily. Shen Wan didn't know why Xichen was angry, but Xichen was swaying from side to side, was Shen Wan used to pointing out the country, or did she really want to get involved in her own country?

Slowing down his tone, Xichen said to her: "In the future, in order to avoid suspicion, it is better not to meet with the ministers of foreign dynasties privately, especially Xiao Wumian and ...... and cherish the dynasty. ”

Shen Wan was stunned, how could she mention the cherished dynasty?

Thinking of his attitude just now, Shen Wan suddenly realized a problem - since Xi Chao saved himself at the expense of his life, something seemed to have changed, and that thing was in the depths of Xi Chen's heart, ready to move.

Lowering her eyes, Shen Wan said with a hint of loss: "Yes, the emperor can rest assured, the concubines will never interfere in the government in the future." ”

Xichen nodded and said, "It's good that you know." After a pause, he said, "The matter of that group of assassins, Lao Shi is still investigating, if it is really related to Xiao Wumian, I will never pay dividends." But if it has nothing to do with him, I will not wronged him. ”

Shen Wan raised her head and looked at him and asked, "Does the emperor never completely trust a person?" Xichen was silent, Xichen smiled bitterly, and whispered: "It seems that something has changed." ”

"Wan Wan," Xichen called, pressing one hand on her shoulder, "I ......" He wanted to say that he trusted her, but he clearly suspected her and Xiao Wumian of the conspiracy, and even that day...... When Xi Chao stepped forward, how scared he was, afraid that Shen Wan would rekindle his old feelings for Xi Chao because of this!

Shen Wan smiled helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while." ”

Xichen glanced at her, didn't say anything, and walked out.

Shen Wan heard the sound of the door closing, turned around slowly, and saw nothing. She was stunned for a moment, and muttered to herself, "What the hell are you doubting about me?" Could it be ......, "Do you suspect that I am complicit in Xiao Wumian to harm you?" If you really think so, how embarrassing is it for me!

For several days, Xichen never stepped into the palace again, and news faintly came from the court, it seems that Xiao Wumian is really related to the group of rebellious assassins, and most of the people in the court have impeached Zhennanhou, imploring the emperor to take away the title of Zhennanhou!

Cui Shanggong told Shen Wan the news, and said worriedly: "Your Highness, do you want to talk to the emperor?" ”

Shen Wan shook her head and said: "No, last time I said a few words, I was rejected by the emperor in the name of 'the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics', and now I am afraid that it will backfire." ”

"Then the Hou Ye ......"

Shen Wan sighed: "I can only slow down first, who persuades whoever is unlucky at this time!" ”

Since he asked himself not to care about the affairs of the court, he would not ask, there were already problems between them, and cracks appeared, if there were disagreements over the affairs of the court at this time, I was afraid that the cracks would get bigger and bigger.

This night, Chun'er went to the Qiangong Palace to find out the news, and came back and said: "The emperor turned over the sign of Concubine Ming today, and he probably won't come to us." ”

Shen Wan didn't care much, but said, "Then let's rest." After seeing Zhao'er fall asleep, she couldn't sleep, so she put on her clothes and went to the courtyard alone to watch the moonlight

The moon is like water, and the slope is like mercury.

I don't know what happened to Xi Chao's injury, now Lao Shi is not in the court, Xi Chao is not there, Xiao Wumian is under house arrest again...... Thinking of this, Shen Wan unconsciously frowned again.

Xiao Wumian's matter must be resolved quickly! Rubbing her eyes, she was about to stand for a while and go back to the room, but she heard someone running over in a panic, it was the little palace maid on duty at night, she said breathlessly: "Niangniang, it's not good, Gonggong Shi just came to say, long live the Lord vomited blood!" ”

Shen Wan was shocked: "What are you talking about!" ”

"Hooray...... Long live Lord vomited blood! ”

Shen Wan trembled and vomited blood? How so? She immediately rushed into the room, woke up Chun'er and Xiangming, got dressed, and was too busy to summon a step, a group of people hurried to the Qiangong.
