Huaixi said again: "But it doesn't matter, there are a lot of concubines in the palace who can't get ahead, and it's good to have a queen's cousin with her back against the big tree to enjoy the shade." ”

"What you said is that it's good not to be out," Xin Wei paused, and said meaningfully, "If Cao Zhaoyi is a little out one day, with the queen's means, how can she not attack Cao Zhaoyi?" Concubine Hui has not woken up yet, and Concubine Liu has been beaten in Fengyi Palace...... What kind of person is the queen......"

After Xin Wei left, Cao Zhaoyi still stood in place for a long time, holding the handmaid's hand, her face was extremely ugly.

Who is the Queen?

The eldest princess clearly understood in front of all the concubines, and on that day, she deceived Concubine Hui and Concubine Liu into going to the drunkard platform, and when she planted the blame, they almost both folded in at the same time.

Isn't this the queen's method?

The servant girl lowered her head, and she didn't dare to gasp.

After a long time, Cao Zhaoyi said coldly: "Let's go." ”

-

The eldest princess claimed that on the night of the Lantern Festival, she saw a kind-hearted palace maid go up the tree to save a bird.

So, all the palace maids in the palace were summoned and identified one by one in the Fangfei Palace.

Chu Ying stood beside the eldest princess, her eyes widened, and she looked over one by one.

"Still not?"

After looking at hundreds of palace maids, Shen Shuning asked, "It was already dark that day, are you sure you can see it clearly?" ”

Chu Ying nodded: "I can see clearly, that palace maid's eyes are like foxes, and she is very recognizable." ”

After all the palace maids watched it, Shen Shuning asked Danhong: "Are they all here?" Especially in Fengyi Palace, the Queen Mother's Ci'an Palace cannot be left behind. ”

Dan Hong said: "Princess, all the palace maids are registered, and there are many counts. ”

That's just as well.

The iron cage of the palace wall is very tight, people outside can't get in, it's difficult for people inside to get out, and the number of palace maids is strictly registered, which can't be wrong.

Xin Wei thought of something and reminded: "Princess, on the day of the Lantern Festival, not only people in the palace, but also those who dress up as palace maids may not be palace maids. ”

There are also several princesses, and a group of dancing girls from the Teaching Workshop Division.

It is extremely unlikely that she is a princess, and a princess dressed as a palace maid is still a little ostentatious, and it can easily attract attention.

"All the servants of the Teaching Workshop Division have called over," Shen Shuning said, "Get a copy of the portraits of the princesses too." ”

-

Then the dancing girls all saw one by one, and all the ladies who might appear in the palace that day were checked, and they were busy for two days, but there was still no result and no clue.

Shen Shuning had a great headache, and when everyone retreated, he leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and retreated: "Don't check, what's there to check, who else can it be besides the queen?" What about finding out? ”

She said in her heart, there is a motive and ability to do this in the palace, except for the queen is Concubine Meng Hui, Concubine Meng Hui is still unconscious, that is the queen is beyond doubt.

"Okay, don't check," Xin Wei stood behind her and gently rubbed her temples, "Meng Da Sima and Cao Xiangke are still arguing fiercely in the temple?" ”

Thinking of this, Shen Shuning smiled: "It's fierce." ”

Meng Da Sima is still the Great Sima, but under the pressure of all parties, he first handed over the power of military endowment, and then the left general Liu Cheng and the right general Zhao Qi broke away from the Middle Dynasty and were no longer under the jurisdiction of the Great Sima, and the military power was not as good as before.

He was unwilling to hand over power, but Liu Cheng already had two hearts, and the dispute with Cao Xiang hurt each other's vitality, and he was impeached by many officials in a clear and secret way. In order to appease the hearts of his ministers, the emperor had to cut the power of Da Sima, and he had to bear it.

Now that he has the right to discuss politics, he is not convinced, and all his strength is directed at Cao Xiang.

From time to time, a few charges that are not light or serious are shaken out, and they are all protégés of Cao Xiang's subordinates.

Cao Xiang was worried about the queen's situation, and on the other hand, he was worried about Meng Da Sima's targeting, and he had a headache recently.

Shen Shuning thought of something, and suddenly said, "I went to ask Shen Xiao yesterday, guess what he said?" ”

Xin Wei gave her the hand rubbing her temples, and she was confused.

"What's the matter?"

"I asked him why he called you to sleep that day and then returned you, if he wanted to get away with it," Shen Shuning opened his eyes, turned his head to look into her eyes, and said, "He said that he would never call you to sleep because ...... One day you have to leave the palace, go to the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and have your own vast life, innocence is especially important to you, and he can't ruin you. ”

Xin Wei didn't feel anything in her heart, and smiled disapprerovingly.

"Why do you think it's important to be innocent, you have to please men, and be a chaste martyr in the hearts of men?"

If you leave this four-sided cage one day, why do you have to re-enter the house and trap yourself? There is a vast world outside, where is it not more interesting than a husband and a child?

Since you have gone to the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, why do you need men?

Shen Shuning was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "When I first returned to Great Xia, someone laughed at me as a widow, I didn't care, I thought, what's wrong with being so comfortable now?" ”

She paused, and then said, "In the past, we were lawless in Jinling City, but we were really at ease. I envied you then......"

Saying envy is heartfelt.

Jiangchang Gong has only one daughter, and she treats it as a treasure, which is pampered and favored everywhere. The government and the opposition are all respectful to Jiangchanggong, and naturally praise her daughter like a pearl.

Shen Shuning envied her, her father only had one daughter, and his father had countless daughters, so he wouldn't take one of them too seriously.

"Now they are all scared of me, the eldest princess, who knows that I am bound if I want to protect myself," Shen Shuning shook his head helplessly, and asked uncertainly: "Qingyue, do you think I'm bad?" ”

Xin Wei also shook her head.

"You're not bad, you're the best."

She felt sorry for Shen Shuning. First-order women always take a lot of responsibility for themselves and bear a lot of infamy, but they always feel that they have not done enough.

Shen Shuning looked at the five-legged and eight-sided iron furnace not far away, the maidservant was adding carbon to it, and a beam of flames suddenly rushed up, burning for a while and then slowly extinguished, revealing a red and hot golden silk carbon.

"If you want to deal with the queen, you can't take your time." Shen Shuning said thoughtfully, "The fire must be big enough to burn her thoroughly at one time." ”

"Yes, but I can't rush it." Xin Wei reminded.

Shen Shuning held her hand, pulled her to her side and sat down, looked into her eyes and asked:

"At that time, I really thought it was you, until Meng Zhen showed me the map of the North Rush Mountain...... I just learned that you weren't dead. I've always wanted to ask you, since you're alive, why didn't you tell me earlier, you know those days......"

It seemed hypocritical to say it again, and Shen Shuning stopped talking.

Xin Wei wrinkled her brows and immediately asked, "Shen Xiao didn't tell you?" ”

When the words fell, she realized that the title was wrong and changed her mouth.

"Why didn't the emperor tell you?"

She thought that the emperor would definitely tell Shu Ning, and she always thought so.

Shen Shuning's eyes widened, and after being stunned for a moment, he slapped the wide armrest of the sandalwood chair and straightened his back.

"He always knew you weren't dead?!"
