The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 72 Evening
"Sun Hongling was stunned by the anger of Marquis Yongchang, and her daughter Zhang Shulan was seeking death and rebirth again. Sun Hongling was upset by the quarrel and told her to just die, but Zhang Shulan really hit a wall."

Speaking of this, Shen Shuning paused intently.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't wait to ask: "What then? Zhang Shulan is dead?"

Zhang Shulan has a domineering temperament and a mean mouth, which is also because her parents did not teach her well. To say that she is really evil, she has not done anything evil.

Except for Zhang Zhiye, Jiang Qingyue didn't want to be soft-hearted to anyone in the Zhenguo Palace, but for Zhang Shulan, she felt that this was enough if the crime would not lead to death.

Shen Shuning said: "Sun Hongling went to invite some imperial doctors and finally saved Zhang Shulan's life."

No one was killed...

But after such a commotion, outsiders might say that Zhang Shulan faked her death to seek death, but in fact she was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Before Jiang Qingyue said anything, Dan Hong ran in and hurriedly conveyed a message.

"Princess, the Emperor is here."

It came so suddenly that Jiang Qingyue quickly got into the cabinet behind the screen, while Dan Hong quickly packed away the extra tea bowl.

When Shen Xiao walked in, Shen Shuning was drinking tea and looking at him indifferently.

"The Emperor has so many things to do, why do you have the time to come and sit here with me?"

Shen Xiao sat down next to her, took out a hot sesame seed cake from his chest and handed it to her: "Suddenly, I wanted to eat sesame seed cakes, so I went to the market to buy it myself. I remembered that Sister Huang also likes to eat it, so I gave it to Sister Huang. I brought one with me too.”

The sesame cakes are very fragrant.

Shen Shuning was not polite to him. After tasting it, it was still a familiar taste: "I'm sorry you still remember this."

She seems to be hard-hearted, but she can't stand her brother doing these smoky things, as if they still have no resentment and miss each other as before.

A little flesh and blood affection, but it is also the only one.

If he hadn't gone too far, how could she not forgive her brother who she had watched grow up?

His tone couldn't help but soften, and he said with more of a sigh, "It's been a long time since I've eaten."

Shen Xiao said: "Qingyue often dragged us to buy things in the past."

Shen Shuning raised her eyes and glanced at him. This sentence made her lose her appetite and put down the sesame seeds.

She couldn't see her brother still saying this name as if nothing had happened.

Shen Xiao picked up the pot and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a sip and looked blankly at the light-colored tea rippling in the cup.

Shen Shuning's heartstrings couldn't help but tighten.

"how?"

Shen Xiao came back to his senses and smiled, "When did the emperor drink Yuqian Longjing?"

Shen Shuning said without changing his expression: "We have to change the taste."

But she always only drinks Gu Zhu Zisun. The one who likes Yuqian Longjing is Jiang Qingyue.

Shen Xiao looked around the hall, stood up slowly, walked a few steps and stopped in front of the screen, then walked around the screen and stopped in front of the tall sandalwood cabinet.

His hand touched the carved cabinet door.

Shen Shuning's voice was a little harsh: "It's my personal belongings as a woman. Are you sure the emperor wants to see it? Although we are siblings, there are differences between men and women!"

Shen Xiao's hand stopped on the cabinet door, but he made no move to open it. He lowered his eyes, feeling lost.

"Sister Huang never hid anything from me before, but now she is alienated from me."

Shen Shuning sweated, "Will the emperor accuse me of bullying the emperor just by saying something casually?"

Shen Xiao smiled, took his hand away from the cabinet door, and faced her.

"Sister Huang, that's not what I meant."

"Then what does the emperor want to say?"

Shen Xiao glanced at the cabinet door again, and seemed to be looking at the things inside through the cabinet door.

Clearly close at hand, his eyes became distant.

"What I mean is that if I want to advance to the rank of Zhang Shuting, I will first make her a noble concubine. And I will make her mother, Mrs. Yongchang Hou, the Madam of Zhenguo."

Shen Shuning stared blankly: "You won't."

Concubine Jin'an's status is nothing more than that, so why should she be conferred a imperial edict on her mother at the same time? Isn't this tantamount to telling the world that the emperor's favor is just around the corner and the concubine is just around the corner?
That’s it, Concubine An’s mother, Mrs. Marquis Yongchang, is Sun Hongling! "It's true that you don't have to do this," Shen Xiao said with a smile, "It depends on how the emperor does it."

Shen Shuning asked: "What do you want me to do?"

"Sister Huang knows what I want. Marquis Yongchang and I are looking for the same person."

Shen Xiao rubbed the jade ring on his thumb, his eyelashes cast a shadow, "I don't want to wait too long."

Shen Shuning pursed his lips and looked at him speechlessly.

Sure enough, the drunkard's intention this time was not drinking, he just came to make sure Jiang Qingyue was with her.

He learned that Marquis Yongchang was looking for someone, and it was probably this news that made him suspect that Jiang Qingyue was still alive and even returned to Jinling City.

Shen Shuning knew that he couldn't hide it from Shen Xiao for too long, so he couldn't think of it so quickly.

After he left, Shen Shuning opened the cabinet door, and Jiang Qingyue sat inside holding her knees, burying her face in her arms.

It was not Shen Shuning who he threatened. It was always Jiang Qingyue who regarded Sun Hongling as a thorn in his side and could not see Sun Hongling live a good life.

Shen Shuning said: "...What do you think?"

Jiang Qingyue raised her head, feeling helpless: "The imperial concubine is the imperial concubine, and the Zhenguo lady is the Zhenguo lady. If they can go up, can't they come down? But Shu Ning, I have to find another place to live."

……

In the past, the eldest princess's mansion was now changed from the name on the plaque to become Princess Ning'an's mansion.

The moment Shen Xiao walked out of the princess's mansion, he ordered the secret guards to circle the perimeter of the mansion so that they could watch from all directions.

But Jiang Qingyue was an excellent painter. She painted herself as a man, put on a servant's clothes, and walked out openly and openly.

Eight days later, Shen Xiao couldn't wait for any movement and finally couldn't sit still anymore, so he swarmed in with more than a hundred forbidden troops.

Shen Shuning looked at the battle and looked at him in shock.

"What did I do to alert the emperor to bring his troops?"

Shen Xiao sat on the high sedan chair and said casually: "I heard that a thief broke into the imperial sister's house last night. I was afraid that the thief would disturb the emperor's sister, so I came to search the house personally to protect the emperor's sister's safety."

Shen Shuning looked at him with increasingly cold eyes.

"Emperor, you should think about how I will deal with you in the future after your search. Everyone in the world knows that I am someone who has been suspected by the emperor."

How could Shen Xiao worry about this for her?

An order that cannot be ignored.

"Search!"

The imperial army turned the princess's mansion upside down, and the maids and guards in the mansion, who could only handle about sixty people, were all brought to the emperor.

"look up."

Shen Xiao's eyes swept over these people one by one.

Read it again.

Shen Shuning said in a bad tone: "Everyone is here, but it's not clear enough? Is it possible that we still want to make something out of nothing?"

Shen Xiao closed his eyes and pinched his eyebrows.

"The city has been unstable recently. Sister Huang, please come to the palace and stay for a while. I ordered people to clean the Fangfei Palace a few days ago."

……

The first words Shen Shuning said when he stepped into Fangfei Palace were: "The emperor is getting more and more despicable."

Dan Hong reminded: "The princess is really angry, so you should be careful what you say."

"It is indeed despicable and shameless, and it is outrageous to say so."

Shen Shuning took a few steps inside and was startled.

Shen Xiao was sitting at her small jade table, pouring wine from a pot and taking a drink.

Seeing her standing still, Shen Xiao smiled and said, "This is not the first time that the emperor has scolded me, so she feels uncomfortable?"
