The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 34
"Then this matter should be investigated more carefully." The queen said calmly, "It is not a bad idea to leave this matter to Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu has been in trouble frequently since she took control of the harem affairs, so that's it. They are all trivial matters. But Concubine Liu Raised in a boudoir since childhood, I don’t know that people’s hearts are sinister…”

"The queen is right. Concubines really don't know how evil people's hearts are." Liu Qingshu stood upright and said in a calm tone, "The concubines are not doing well in the harem affairs. Your Majesty, you should let others do it."

After hearing this, the queen had a smile in her eyes, and turned to Shen Xiao: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Liu..."

"When we are new to the relationship, who can do it satisfactorily all at once," Shen Xiao said, "Since I have left it to you, I can trust you, and there is no need to mention this again in the future."

Concubine Liu said sadly: "Yes."

The queen looked at her reluctant expression, as if she had eaten a fly, it was difficult to swallow, and she felt uncomfortable all over.If she spoke again, it would appear that Concubine Liu was being meek and conceited, but she was being aggressive.

"Your Majesty, about falling into the water..."

"The Queen Mother is free recently, so let the Queen Mother check it out."

After Shen Xiao made his decision, he looked at Xin Wei in the corner again, with a cold look in his eyes and a cold tone in his voice: "You always see something when you go to rescue people. Go change your clothes and come to the study room to answer."
-
Xin Wei waited in the royal study for half an hour, but no one came.

Her eyes were fixed on the pile of memorials on the documents for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, she finally took a step forward and walked over.

If the emperor comes from outside, he must inform him first so that she can put him back to his original position in time.

After opening the first book, Xin Wei was startled.

This memorial details the various sins of Jiang Changgong who abused power for personal gain, bent the law for personal gain, and took human life seriously, down to the time, place, money embezzled, and the people involved... This memorial was written three years ago by Cao Xiang, Cao Zhonggu .

She closed the folder and opened the second one, which was also evidence of Jiangchang's Gregorian crime. She handed the memorial to Cao Zhongxin, the Minister of Household Affairs.

The third, the fourth...

She knew these contents and had already suppressed the injustice in her heart. But when these handwritings appeared clearly in front of her eyes, the hatred in her heart surged uncontrollably and rushed straight into her heart.

It's like being in a steamer, being simmered in a blazing fire, and the burning pain is unbearable.

At this time, footsteps in the vast hall came from far away and stopped behind her.

Xin Wei put down the last booklet and turned around again.

"Is this what the emperor is here to show me?"

She was a little weak, so she held the edge of the document with one hand, stabilized her mind, and stood upright: "What does the emperor mean by showing me this? I understand that there is no need to accuse someone."

Shen Xiao walked to the desk, packed up the folds one by one, pulled out the drawer on the side of Duobao Pavilion, and put the folds in.

"In the face of evidence, defending is futile," Shen Xiao stood in front of her, looked at her bloodshot eyes, and frowned, "They planned for many years to pull your father down. Qingyue, you have to know that they There are many forces behind you, but you are alone."

Xin Wei asked a little funny: "Why are you telling me this?"

Shen Xiao stretched out his hand to support her thin body, but Xin Wei turned slightly to avoid it, and Shen Xiao retracted his hand.

"You can't save Cao Yan. She is Cao Zhongxin's daughter," Shen Xiao sighed briefly and pointed out, "If her life had not been useful, you would have wished that all the Cao family members had drowned in Taiye Pond."

Xin Wei smiled: "The emperor also said that evidence is useful, not words."

What the emperor said was good.But he had no evidence, so how could he wipe out her role in saving people?
Who can believe that she pushed Cao Zhaoyi down just to save her?
Shen Xiao pursed her thin lips tightly and looked at her with dark eyes for a long time.

After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "What do you think I wanted to say when I called you here?"

Xin Wei's tone was distant: "The Holy Heart dare not speculate."

"You shouldn't put yourself in danger," Shen Xiao kept two steps away from her, holding one hand behind his back, stroking the jade ring on his thumb, and said in a nonchalant tone, "In the future, things like jumping into the river will not be allowed. Do it again."

"understood."

She responded extremely perfunctorily.Shen Xiao expected that she wouldn't listen, so he said coldly: "If the imperial sister knew about you... she would never agree to what you did."

"Know what about me?"

She asked deliberately.

Shen Shuning really didn't know that she was frostbitten in the ice and snow, and the cold air entered her body.The imperial doctor said that her body must be taken care of well and carefully, and she must not get cold.

This is a secret that only Shen Xiao knows.

At first, she refused to let Shen Xiao speak out, fearing that her father would embarrass him.

If Shen Shuning knew about this, he would never agree to her jumping into the river, and he would definitely scold Shen Xiao severely.

Why did they trick the girl into watching the sunrise on the mountain in the middle of winter? After seeing the sunrise, a blizzard came and the mountain was blocked by heavy snow. They were trapped on the mountain for five days.

In five days, Shen Xiao was lucky enough to pick up only one wild goose. The roasted goose was not enough for the two of them. When she was hungry, she ran out to dig for wild vegetables in the snow and fainted in the snow.

Shen Xiao slapped herself hard, blaming herself for taking her up the mountain and blaming herself for harming her.

At that time, she was lying weakly on the ground, grabbed his hand that was slapping him, and said a little angrily: "It's so noisy, please hug me."

Shen Xiao touched a woman's hand for the first time. Her hand was cold and soft. His breathing stopped, his mind went blank, and he murmured unconsciously:

"Men and women cannot be intimate when giving or receiving, nor can men or women be intimate when giving or receiving..."

How dare he hug her?
Her whole body was so cold that only the hand she held was warm and had the warmth she longed for.But he didn't move, so she could only sit up and lean into his arms.

His body was like a big furnace, soothing her whole body discomfort. She was greedy for a moment and hugged him tighter.

Shen Xiao was stunned for a long time before he closed his arms and held her tightly in his arms.

The woman's face, which was originally purple from the cold, gradually improved. She closed her eyes and fell asleep lightly in his arms.

He looked at her long eyelashes and flawless face, and his heart beat as if it was about to burst out of his throat.

Embracing each other like this...does it ruin her reputation?

"When I get off the mountain, I'll ask my father for permission to marry me. Let's get married and be my princess, okay?"

She didn't open her eyes, but said weakly, "Yeah."

At that moment, Shen Xiao finally realized how good the music in the storybook was.

It turns out that the promise of life and death is not an empty lie.

In the days that followed, Shen Xiao would occasionally think of the day when he finally had the courage to ask for marriage, and she agreed without hesitation, as if it was a hasty joke.

Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, a big dream, so unreal.

The woman in front of her was clearly still the same as before, but those eyes that once reflected the sun, moon, and stars were now nothing more than a quiet lake in the dark night, with no bottom.

Shen Xiao closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "I keep those words by my side to remind me that there is something I have not been able to do."

Xin Wei looked at him quietly and listened to him.

"Wait patiently and don't act rashly," Shen Xiao said, "Just watch."
