Chapter 292: Breaking into the Cold Palace
With Shen Yuanping as a witness, Rao is Shen Tianhua could no longer find a reason to accuse Shen Changge and Concubine Li.
However, seeing that Shen Changge was completely left clean, and even became a victim, Shen Tianhua, Shen Qingyang and Shen Huanting, the brothers and sisters, were particularly unwilling.
Especially Shen Huanting.
She has been planning hard for so long, just waiting for this day to come, thinking that she can completely solve Shen Changge.
I didn't expect it to turn out like this!
Concubine Li is really a stupid woman, she can't even do this little thing!
She really got her brain caught in the door, so she thought of using Li Concubine, a fool!
Concubine Li, who was regarded as a fool by Shen Huanting, had no heart to think about anything else, she only had one thought in her heart, that is, she must not implicate the prince.
After listening to Shen Yuanping's words and what Concubine Li said just now, Shen De only felt that the top of his head was green, and there was boundless anger burning in his heart.
"Come on, put Concubine Li into the cold palace, no one is allowed to visit without my permission!"
Shen De didn't say much else, and announced the end of Concubine Li in one sentence.
His words fell, and someone immediately stepped forward and dragged Li Concubine away.
Before leaving, Concubine Li's eyes were still firmly locked on Shen Changge's body, with a shallow smile on the corner of her lips.
Shen Changge didn't look back at her, his slightly drooping eyelids obscured the complicated emotions under his eyes.
It was because of her that Concubine Li became the object of being used, and finally fell to the end of being beaten into the cold palace.
"Prince."
"The son is here."
Shen De's voice was still cold and angry: "Although you were used by Concubine Li in this matter, don't think that it's completely fine, I will punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors for a month, can you be convinced?" ”
Shen Changge understood that Shen De was punishing her to vent the anger in his heart, after all, Concubine Li had been beaten into the cold palace, and there was no one to vent.
What's more, she did make a mistake in this matter, and the fault was that she shouldn't have agreed to Concubine Li's invitation in the first place.
If she had insisted on leaving, there would have been no aftermath.
"Surrender."
"You go back and reflect on it!"
"Yes, the retainers are retired."
Shen Changge answered, got up and left.
As she was leaving, she vaguely sensed a deep gaze falling on her.
After all, she didn't hold back, she looked up and met Shen Yiqing's deep phoenix eyes.
From the time she and Concubine Li were discovered by the emperor to the present, Shen Yiqing has been watching, but he has also remained silent.
He really made it clear from her, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have stood up to help her speak a long time ago.
But that's fine, at least it won't cause him trouble because of her.
Just a faint glance at him, she turned and strode out of the main hall.
Shen Yiqing always stared at her departing back, and Yingting's brows were tightly twisted.
In the garden, when he saw Shen Changge and Li Concubine entangled together, he was not only shocked but also unspeakably uncomfortable.
He thought that the prince liked Concubine Li, otherwise how could he do such a thing.
But later, when he learned that the prince was being used, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that he can't stand up to help when he sees the prince in trouble like before.
Now that you have made up your mind, it is imperative that you have nothing to do with it.
……
Although Shen De explicitly forbade talking about the matter of Li Concubine, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the matter still spread quietly and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
But this kind of thing can't be put on the table after all, not to mention that the emperor also forbids talking about it, so even if someone talks about it, they can only talk about it in a whisper.
Of course, Shen Changge didn't know what this matter had become outside, just because she was still in the period of reflection.
A month is not too difficult for her.
Every day, in addition to her daily routine, she spends most of her time practicing martial arts.
Day after day, this month has made her martial arts improve a lot.
It's a blessing in disguise.
The January period passed quickly.
After Shen Changge finished his introspection, the first thing he heard was that Concubine Li committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam in the cold palace.
When she heard the news, she couldn't help but sigh, and a sense of sadness instantly surged in her heart.
In addition to this, she heard about one more thing.
I heard that Nanyue sent a letter of state, saying that Nangong Yao, the prince of Nanyue, personally led a delegation to Dongwu and was already on his way.
Hearing this news, Shen Changge subconsciously paid attention to it.
After all, the arrival of the mission is always a big deal.
After the January introspection period, Shen Changge thought that it was better to go to Zhaoyang Palace to say goodbye to the emperor.
So, she came all the way to Zhaoyang Palace.
After being reported, she entered the hall and saw Shen De, who was lying on a soft collapse.
After not seeing him for a month, Shen Changge found that Shen De seemed to be a little older, and there were more gray hairs on his head.
Presumably because of Concubine Li's matter, he has always been difficult to let go.
Seeing Shen Changge coming in, Shen De raised his eyes slightly to look at her.
"The son asks his father to be safe, and I wish my father and the emperor good fortune and good health."
"Alright, get up. Lookouts. Shen De said lazily.
After Shen Changge sat down, she quietly observed Shen De's reaction, and when she saw that he looked like he was about to fall asleep, she wondered if it was time to get up and say goodbye.
And just as she was about to get up, she suddenly heard Shen De say, "The prince should be eighteen this year, right?" ”
When Shen Changge heard this, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still responded honestly: "Yes, it should be eighteen this year." ”
"Eighteen, it's time to canonize the crown princess." Shen De said slowly.
And when these words fell into Shen Changge's ears, it made her heart chuckle instantly, and the whole person became nervous.
Sure enough, I wanted to talk about the crown princess.
"Father, the sons don't want to get married so early, and the sons have nothing to do now, how can they talk about marriage?"
"What is done by the Qi family to govern the country and level the world, how can the family be governed before the family is not together? Rest assured, I will choose a worthy helper for you. ”
"Father." Shen Changge was a little anxious, just because Shen De seemed to have made up his mind, "Don't you see that Uncle Huang hasn't married a wife yet?" Why don't you let your sons take wives? ”
"It doesn't matter if your emperor marries a wife or not, that's what the first emperor should do, the first emperor is gone, and no one cares about him. But you are different, you are my son, and I naturally have to worry about your marriage. ”
"Father's ......"
"Okay, you don't have to say more." Shen De resolutely interrupted her, "This matter has been decided, and I will inform you when I have determined the candidate for the crown princess." ”
Shen Changge knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he could only respond helplessly.
Shen De glanced at her listless appearance, with a bit of complicated emotions in his eyes.
It's been a month, and he still can't let go of the matter of Li Concubine.
Although the crown prince was innocent about that incident, he couldn't be completely relieved after all.
Perhaps, the appointment of a crown princess for the crown prince is the best choice.
