Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "There is only one person in this palace who knows the little slut surnamed Chu, I said that you are, you are, do you understand?" In order to be sure, you have to find a rush to report the news...... Completely eradicating the Demon Sect is the top priority, and this little credit is harmless. ”

was calculating in his heart, and suddenly heard the eunuch outside the room say loudly: "The slave sees Concubine Zhenniang." Niangniang goes this way, please wait in the palace for the time being, and wait for the slave to report to the master. He listened to Zhen Ying's voice and said, "What are you arguing about?" Do you think that the ears of this palace are particularly bad, so you can't shout loudly?" The eunuch said loudly: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Shen Shiyun smiled slightly, knowing that the eunuch deliberately raised his voice in order to remind himself to take precautions, and secretly rejoiced: "I just talked about the head, and she jumped out, and the lip gloss was really good." Leaned over to pick up the hemp ball, stuffed it back into Chen Xiangxiang's mouth, simply sorted out the clothes, went out to meet guests with a dignified manner, and deliberately covered the door of the room.

I saw Zhen Ying sneering: "Wherever the palace likes to go, you can go in whichever way, and you, a dead slave, dare to stop it?" The eunuch was only submissive, Zhen Ying intentionally or unintentionally made things difficult, and dragged it out for some reason, and sure enough, he saw Shen Shiyun walking out of the firewood room, with a sweet smile on his face. She had already heard Yin Yin's report, and knew that the small firewood room of Yinxue Palace was Li Yijie's residence, but she didn't know that he had quietly left the palace from the secret passage to do business, and said that Shen Shiyun was having a private meeting with him again, and said in her heart: "It's very good, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the coquettish fox spirit is going to show its tail again, look at the palace to catch a manifest." He stepped forward with a smile on his face. Both of them smiled brightly, and on the surface they seemed to be sincere, but in fact, they were secretly happy with their own thoughts. Shen Shiyun spoke first: "Concubine Zhenniang, how can you have time to come over today?"

Zhen Ying sneered: "Yes, I came to your Yinxue Palace and was addicted, and if I didn't come for a day, I felt uncomfortable, as if I had fallen into the demon law, no wonder the emperor ran diligently." Shen Shiyun smiled: "You are polite." Zhen Ying took the initiative to hold Shen Shiyun's arm and said with a smile: "Come and go, this palace is also familiar here as if it were my own home, only the firewood room over there has not been visited, I saw my sister just now that she seems to be calling over there, can you not hesitate to take me over to open my eyes?"

Shen Shiyun intended to lead her into the firewood room, but her face pretended to be embarrassed, and she hesitated: "This ...... I'm afraid it's not very convenient—" Zhen Ying was overjoyed and asked, "Oh, could it be that there is something in the firewood room, or who is it that makes my sister feel inconvenient?"

Shen Shiyun said: "Where do you want to go, it's just that the firewood room is narrow and dirty, and the dust has accumulated a foot thick, I'm afraid it will stain the clothes, I'm afraid that my sister will not be very convenient." Zhen Ying smiled and said: "I'm not a golden and jade body, how can I have a sister to go, but I can't go to a place? Besides, the humble house is simple, only the gentleman lives in it, and it will not be ugly, what do you say?"

When Shen Shiyun heard that she was also making a pun, she secretly felt funny, but still pretended to hesitate. Zhen Ying stepped over directly, swaggered into the firewood room, already clenched her throat, and was about to make a fuss when she saw Li Yijie, but saw a girl kneeling in the room, and after careful inspection, it was Chu Menglin, who had a one-sided relationship. An ominous premonition passed through his heart, as if he had invisibly fallen into the other party's conspiracy, and hurriedly retreated, intending to say a few polite words casually after leaving the house to deal with the scene, but Shen Shiyun followed in, glanced at Chen Xiangxiang along her line of sight, and said with a smile: "What, do you recognize her? She was the assassin who attacked me that day." Speaking of which, this palace should really thank you, when you insisted that the assassin was not dead, I blamed you for having nothing to do, and I was suspicious enough to send someone to investigate, so that the criminal was finally brought to justice. ”

Zhen Ying was shocked, and said in her heart: "I asked this demon girl to kill you, but don't shake her out, it's better to kill her as soon as possible." He pulled out his self-defense dagger and shouted: "If you dare to assassinate the imperial concubine, you deserve death!" raised the dagger and was about to insert it into Chen Xiangxiang's heart, Shen Shiyun grabbed her wrist and said with a smile: "Why does Niangniang seem to be more excited than this palace when she sees this assassin?"

Zhen Ying said: "When this palace thinks of her being bold and intending to harm her sister, this is ...... Anger rises from the heart. After saying that, I also felt far-fetched. Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "I am very angry, but I admire my mother's jealousy and hatred." When Hongu first caught her, he didn't draw his sword and kill her like you, but interrogated her carefully for a long time. Speaking of the key point, he suddenly stopped, and looked at Zhenying meaningfully.

Zhen Ying said in her heart: "The implication of this is 'I have interrogated for a long time, she has already said everything, it is useless for you to hide it, it is better to quickly recruit from the truth!' Besides, my deal with her didn't work out, and it didn't cause any serious consequences. After weighing the pros and cons, he made up his mind, and said: "Okay, I admit it, I did ask her to be unfavorable to you, but she didn't agree......" Then he thought suddenly: "The demon girl surnamed Chu is clearly with Prince Yu and went to Liaoyang to worship her ancestors, how could it fall into the hands of Shen Shiyun? Could it be that she didn't forget her promise that after returning from the Tokyo Mausoleum, she really assassinated me, but she was caught by mistake?" Thinking about it this way, the sentence "She didn't agree" is a little indescribable.

Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Okay, you can go on." Zhen Ying muttered a few words, and always felt that if she didn't just talk, it would be difficult to continue, so she had to repeat "She didn't agree" again before continuing to narrate. In order to prove his innocence, he retold every sentence of the dialogue as it was, and added a sentence at the end: "I persuaded her to be unfavorable to you after the fact, and it was not my idea for her to assassinate her for the first time." ”

Shen Shiyun's face was not shocked, he didn't show a little fear or anger, but still smiled lightly: "I really didn't know before, you have such a deep hatred with this palace. So, do you know her?"

Zhen Ying said angrily: "So what?" Shen Shiyun smiled: "But she doesn't know you." "Swing the dagger and pick up the hemp ball. Chen Xiangxiang saw that a stranger came to the firewood room, and she had always regarded it as a savior, and as soon as her mouth was free, she immediately cried and cried about her life experience and pouring beans through the bamboo tube. Hearing Zhen Ying's remorse, she understood that she wanted to capture the old man, and said hatefully: "It's really yours." But even if you deceive my words, if there is no evidence, the palace will not let you deal with it, and the emperor can't just wronged a good person!"

Shen Shiyun smiled: "Niangniang is too worried. Bengong doesn't have the slightest bad intentions.,Now there's a big credit here.,Being a sister is waiting to be offered.。 You can say that this demon girl wanted to assassinate you, and you captured it by tricks, but I don't like capriciousness, since I told the emperor that the assassin is dead, she is dead, but you can't tell this layer. Zhen Ying couldn't understand Shen Shiyun's intentions, and sneered: "You know that she is not Chu Menglin, and you still ask me to ask for merit and reward, is it to entertain me?"

Shen Shiyun sighed: "Niangniang doesn't know how to turn at all. This palace asks you, have you seen Chu Menglin with your own eyes? Has the emperor seen her again?" Zhen Ying said: "You are asking knowingly, I have only met her once, the emperor...... Maybe I've seen the portrait. Shen Shiyun said: "That's right, before she spoke, did you always keep it in the dark? and was so frightened that she confessed all your sins." As long as she doesn't come to bad things, with your and me's incorruptible tongues, black can be said to be white, let alone confirm the identity of a woman who is dressed up enough to be fake?"

Zhen Ying muttered: "What you said also has some truth, then you have to cut off her tongue first to prevent her from defending herself." Shen Shiyun said: "No, if you use a knife, there will be traces at the base of the tongue, and a discerning person can know it at a glance." Or give her a dumb medicine to solve the problem. Zhen Ying couldn't help nodding, but she still felt that the good thing was too simple and lost her sense of reality, and frowned: "Such a big credit, why don't you take it yourself, and give it to me?"

Shen Shiyun said: "My sisters don't distinguish each other, I also want to help you win back the emperor's favor, let's share the East Palace equally, it's not too fast, it's better than cheaper others." No matter how easy Zhen Ying is, she can hear that this sentence is a fake, and she meditated on the pros and cons of the whole thing, and shouted: "You are worried that the Demon Sect will retaliate against the thieves, and you can't afford to provoke them, so you will try your best to let me bear this infamy for you?"

Shen Shiyun said with a straight face: "It's not right for you to say that, people are endless, things are endlessly beautiful, they are liked by the good, and they will be complained by the wicked." If you want to please the emperor, you must first correct your position and make it clear that you are incompatible with the demons and demons, if you completely pacify the chaotic party, you will be a heroine, and you will be able to live for a hundred years. ”

Seeing Shen Shiyun's attitude, Zhen Ying was even more convinced of her own judgment. She has suffered many losses, and she knows that Shen Shiyun's good words and good words are not credible, but the more she denies it, the more truthful she is, and she said in her heart: "I am the emperor's concubine, I live in the inner courtyard of the deep palace on weekdays, and I am under the protection of the master of the Great Inner Palace, and it is not so easy for the demon sect thieves to murder me." Shen Shiyun is timid and afraid, and gives me this big bargain for nothing, if I don't take it, I will have a problem. ”

So the two of them unified their voices and went to report to the emperor together. Fu Lin was happy when he heard this, but he didn't believe that Zhen Ying's ability alone had a way to catch the Demon Sect assassin, and seeing that Shen Shiyun also nodded with a smile on the side, guessing that they had discussed it properly. These two concubines can release their suspicions and live in harmony, so why not do it if he is just a favor. So he praised Zhenying greatly, rewarded her with a lot of jewelry, and invited her to sleep that night. Tell Shen Shiyun behind his back, and if he catches the important criminals of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect in the future, he can deal with it by himself, and he doesn't have to report it one by one. Shen Shiyun was overjoyed, and immediately set a schedule for parades and beheadings, and posted the list to major cities and towns, just waiting for the thieves to take the bait.

Fu Lin knew that the Shadow Sect was not an ordinary anti-Qing traitor, on the contrary, in the battles of entering the customs, he still made great contributions, just to avenge Shen Shiyun, he fell into disloyalty, and he often felt ashamed. But after many investigations, it was learned that the Shadow Sacrifice Sect was evil, and it was also notorious among the Han people, and all the major sects wanted to get rid of it quickly, but they had more than enough heart and insufficient strength, so that the demons were rampant for many years. Now, if we can send troops to exterminate them on our behalf, it will not only be very happy for the people, but also help to establish prestige among the people and think for the overall situation, which is a good move. handed over the matter to Shen Shiyun and let her do it.

Shen Shiyun was involved in family feuds, and he worked very hard, and in the past few months, he has been trapped in the Shadow Sect several times, and everyone in the rivers and lakes applauded. Blessing is in the ears, and the joy is in the heart. However, as the government gradually got on the right track, the number of state affairs that had to be dealt with was increasing day by day, and the twists and turns often had to be approved from morning to night, and there was no time to be idle. On the evening of this day, I finally picked a blank space, came to Yinxue Palace with a large stack of papers, and asked about my son's situation first, and I was very comforted to learn that everything was worry-free, and I couldn't help but sigh the bitter scriptures: "Originally, there were enough things, but now I have caught up with the final round of the imperial examination, and I want the emperor to supervise it in person, so that I have to sit with them in danger, and I am so tired that my back hurts." These exam papers still have to be reviewed by me, and the time is too late, so I can only be ready to work at night. ”
