In the side hall of Yeonfu Palace.

Concubine Shen felt a huge panic and remorse in her heart.

She didn't even ask for the emperor's edict to exonerate her first, and told everything she knew.

She always knew that the emperor was wise and decisive, so she never dared to show off her scheming in front of the emperor before, for fear of revealing flaws.

The previous time was in Jinfeng Garden, and she quietly went to tell the emperor. That time, she felt that the emperor's might was different from before.

Although she has been the emperor's harem for many years, she has also had the opportunity to sleep. Later, although he was not pampered, he also had the opportunity to face the saint in bits and pieces.

The emperor in the harem is a gentle and tolerant person. In the earliest days, because the Queen Mother, the Queen and Princess Mingshou were strong, the emperor compromised and retreated many times, and even seemed very cowardly. After the death of the queen, Concubine Shu was in charge of palace affairs. At that time, Concubine Shu was often arbitrary, and the emperor was quite tolerant of her.

But Concubine Shen knew that the emperor was not that kind of person. If this is the case, the emperor will not be under tremendous pressure to confront the three powerful women of the Queen Mother, the Empress and Princess Mingshou, there will be no such vigorous and resolute means to deal with the rebellion of the king, there will be no courage to lead the army to conquer in person, and it will not be so calm and calm, and the restless forces of the government and the opposition will be eliminated step by step.

But knowing is knowing, that time she really understood the emperor's wisdom as the son of heaven.

It's not the man with a gentle temper and elegant temperament in the harem, it's the other side of being an emperor. Wise, ruthless, and unfathomable.

No matter how long she has been planning, she is too far away from the emperor, it is a world of difference. Talking to the emperor face-to-face about the conditions, she was not an opponent at all, and the emperor quietly asked her to lose her armor and collapse the army.

“…… After the concubine heard the news, she originally wanted to check the records in the palace, but the inner palace supervisor was lost because of the water in the second year of Yuanchang. ”

There was no record, and Concubine Shen did not carefully check it. The people in her hands have been cleared a few times, and there is not much left. After the second came from Yong'an Palace to take charge of palace affairs, Fang Shanggong and Zhou Yuchen, both of them should not be underestimated, Concubine Shen tried twice, but she didn't succeed, and she also pulled out several eyeliners along the vine, and had to be honest.

After the hole cards were opened, Concubine Shen was like her backbone had been removed, and she had completely lost her mental strength.

She actually didn't have any real evidence, and she killed the only insider for fear of leaking the news, and now she has nowhere to find more evidence for her words.

But there is another person who can be considered an insider.

It is the Mashang Palace of Shoukang Palace.

Concubine Shen also thought about whether to destroy the mouth of Ma Shang Palace at that time, but later gave up this plan after thinking twice. In a short period of time, several people died in the palace in a row, which is too eye-catching. Ma Shang Gong is an interesting person, don't listen or talk much, since the death of Hu Gongren, she has shrunk in Shoukang Palace, unless she has to take a step out of the palace gate, Concubine Shen did not do it immediately, thinking that it will not be too late to do this after a while.

But the further things go, the more she now wants to kill Ma Shanggong, she is powerless, and she is wrong, so Ma Shanggong can be regarded as half an insider.

Concubine Shen quietly raised her head to look at the emperor's expression.

But she couldn't see anything from the emperor's face. The emperor stood in front of the window, seemingly intently looking at the courtyard outside the window, and what she said seemed to be as if he didn't care at all. The sun shone on the window, and the shadow of the window lattice was like a staggered net, reflecting the emperor's face clearly.

The emperor looked at the grass that was turning yellow in the courtyard outside. The shadow of the sun gradually slanted to the west, and the scattered afterimages made people inevitably feel desolate in their hearts.

Concubine Shen said stumbling, mixed with her own guesses, and pieced together an old past almost beyond recognition.

Obviously, he has been tracking down the matter that he has been worried about for so many years, but the emperor is extremely calm at this moment.

Maybe Concubine Shen's account was not entirely true, or maybe he instinctively didn't believe this woman, and everything he heard from her was completely unrealistic.

The emperor looked at the quiet courtyard of Yanfu Palace, but remembered the appearance of Yong'an Palace at this time.

Yong'an Palace is now a little noisy and noisy. The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao have grown older, and they are becoming more sensible day by day. But the second prince is at an ignorant age, and every day from the moment he opens his eyes in the morning, he tosses inside and outside the people on his back, even if he closes his eyes at night, the group of people who serve him dare not close their eyes. Coupled with the three princes who have just been born and have not yet reached the full moon, there is no place in the noisy palace of Yong'an Palace.

But the emperor didn't feel noisy at all, but any official business that could be brought to Yong'an Palace would not be left in Changning Palace to deal with. The quiet and empty Changning Palace even made the emperor feel strange, and even the sunlight shining on his body through the window did not seem to have the warmth in Yong'an Palace.

Concubine Shen finally had nothing to say, her whole body was out of strength, she originally said it on her knees, but then she couldn't kneel, so she supported her body with her hands. Now I can't even hold on, and the whole person is like a puddle of mud paralyzed on the ground.

The emperor stood up and walked to the door, and Bai Hongqi, who had been guarding outside the door, quickly pushed open the door of the palace and waited for the emperor to go out.

Concubine Shen said so many words, and her whole person was exhausted, as if she had been hollowed out. Seeing that the emperor was leaving, she was anxious to move forward and wanted to stay.

Can't let the emperor just leave!

Concubine Shen knew in her heart that the emperor would never come back, and she would not have a second chance to face the saint.

I want to ask the emperor to open her up and take her lightly, this is the last and only chance.

She staggered to her feet, but she tripped over the corner of her skirt again, and she fell down heavily again, and her attempt to hold the emperor's hand was also in vain.

The emperor didn't look back, and strode out.

Bai Hongqi hurriedly followed.

Concubine Shen shouted to the emperor one after another, got up with both hands on the ground and wanted to chase out, two eunuchs came over, one grabbed her arm, pushed her into the side hall again, and the half-open palace door was immediately slammed shut. Concubine Shen pounced on the door and shook it twice, even though her whole body was pressed against the door, the sturdy door leaf did not shake for a moment. The tight doors kept out the sunlight outside, and the inside of the hall was as dark as if it had reached night.

The huge panic made Concubine Shen have a strength out of thin air, she clung to the door frame, her fingers cut through the hard paper pasted on the door, her head was against the broken window paper, and she called out hoarsely: "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to be gracious!" ”

The emperor walked faster and faster, and did not slow down until he walked out of Yanfu Palace.

In Yanfu Palace, it seems that people are also trapped so much that they can't even breathe.

Standing here, you can still faintly hear the shouts coming from the Yanfu Palace, separated by a high palace wall, the sound is like coming from another world, the screams are terrifying.
