Zheshu

Chapter 79
For several days in succession, Ji Wuyou kept sending corpses to Shen Qing. The palace people dared to be angry and dare not speak out. Even though Xuanyuanli left a message when she left, not allowing others to enter her palace, Ji Wuyou seemed to ignore it. Ordinary people dare not stop them at all.

Shen Qing originally planned to go there, but for a few days, Ji Wuyou didn't even ask her if she would go or not, as if she was under attack, killing people and giving away the corpses. It wasn't until the third day that Shan Cha came to spread the word that a strange thing had happened in the harem , ask her to go and see the excitement.

"Place the orchids sent by the emperor in front of the palace gate." Shen Qing ordered while looking at Yun Fang.

Yunfang didn't understand what she meant, but it was just a slander, so she went to do it right away.

Shan Cha stood on one side, looking at Shen Qing who was sitting on the embroidered stool drinking tea leisurely. Could it be that she is not afraid at all these days?No wonder the empress said she was difficult to deal with.

"Imperial Concubine, please." Shan Cha couldn't help urging.

Shen Qing ignored her and drank the tea in the cup before getting up.

In the blink of an eye, it was already November, cold and damp, she had no inner strength to protect her, and was very afraid of the cold, so she took another plain cloak, and only then did she get a few ordinary clothes that would be dragged over by Xuanyuan Li to give special orders The maid of honor followed, and then left with Camellia.

Arriving at the queen's palace, Shen Qing looked at the silence of the hall, and seemed to be mocking coldly, knowing that Ji Wuyou was probably fully prepared this time.

"The empress seems to be haggard." Shen Qing smiled faintly, and seeing that there seemed to be other people in the room, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly.

Seeing Shen Qing like this, Ji Wuyou smiled gently, raised her eyebrows slightly, and fiddled with the hand warmer in her hand, "Do you know why I called you here today?" Ji Wuyou looked at Shen Qing. Qing said.

Shen Qing lowered her brows slightly, picked up the hot tea at the side and drank it, then said with a slight smile: "If I knew, I wouldn't bother the Queen to invite me here."

"Bold, how dare you pretend to be ignorant here after killing someone! Your Majesty, for the sake of the emperor, doesn't care about your rudeness, how dare you be so rampant now?" Suddenly shouted, Shen Qing frowned, Looking up, he saw a woman whose face was seventy percent similar to Shan Cha's was looking at him fiercely, her eyes were full of displeasure.

Shen Qing was stunned, murder?She wanted to kill, and the person she wanted to kill was right in front of her eyes, but looking at them like this, it was obvious that she wanted to pour some dirty water on herself.

"Shen Qing has no power to restrain a chicken, let alone kill someone?" Shen Qing looked straight at the woman, she couldn't back down from such things, even if she didn't admit it, she might be dealt with by Ji Wuyou, but once she admitted it, She didn't even have the chance to wait for the Empress Dowager Xuanyuan Zhaohe to come over. The woman sitting next to her looked cold and serious, but she was not very old, thirty at most, and her charm was still there, which was pleasing to the eye .

Ji Wuyou saw that her eyes drifted to the person beside her, with some admiration, she couldn't help being surprised, and immediately smiled: "This is the wife of the Dali Temple Chancellor, Mrs. Liu, who was once rewarded by the late emperor, and is now ordered by the second rank. add body..."

"Really?" Shen Qing smiled faintly, this person was invited by Ji Wuyou, probably to be a witness.

Seeing her unsalty appearance, Ji Wuyou's eyes flickered slightly, but she brought the topic back: "You said you didn't kill anyone, so why did everyone point at you and say that you ordered someone to kill Ding Xiang? "Ji Wuyou asked unhurriedly as before.

Shen Qing's palms tightened slightly, the person who died was Lilac?Although she didn't like the court lady of this power, it wasn't enough to kill her.

"Shen Qing came to the queen's palace early this morning. When Shen Qing went out, Ding Xiang was still fine. Everyone in my palace can testify. Besides, I am not familiar with the people in the palace, and they don't even know Conceal it for me, why didn't the empress summon them to ask?" Shen Qing looked at Ji Wuyou and said.

When Shan Cha heard Shen Qing say this, she almost laughed out loud, but when she saw Ji Wuyou throwing a cool look at her, she immediately stopped smiling and took a step forward

"A few days ago, I watched Ding Xiang go to your concubine's room, and I heard the sound of arguing outside, and then I saw Ding Xiang coming out of the room grabbing Yun Fang's girl. A secret report, saying that you committed suicide privately, Lilac, who was supposed to be released from the palace. Madam, is there convincing evidence for this matter? The slaves have also heard that the emperor has always told Yunfang to be obedient to you, and that girl has always been honest. It wasn't you who was pushing her behind her back, how could she have the guts to do this?" After Shan Cha finished speaking, she looked at Ji Wuyou, as if she didn't take Shen Qing seriously.

After a while, she added: "I feel that the people behind the scenes should be killed. Not only did they kill people, but they also killed the honest Yun Fang, making this harem a mess."

As Shen Qing listened, the corners of her mouth couldn't help curling up coolly: "According to what you said, wouldn't the empress who killed a little eunuch a day these days deserve to go to the [-]th floor of hell?"

"You, when did I have such a meaning!" Shan Cha hurriedly said, but the woman who was similar to her stopped her quickly, and only said to Shen Qing: "The people who died in the empress's palace in the past few days are all The empress was worried that the imperial concubine had just arrived and the servants in the palace would be disobedient, so she carried it over to frighten those servants so that she could fight for some dignity and majesty for the empress, but she didn't know what the imperial concubine was thinking, Want the queen to go to hell?"

This old woman's sharp mouth seemed to want to punish her heart, as soon as she finished speaking, including that Liu's also quickly knelt down.

Shen Qing sat upright and looked at her with a smile: "Then according to what the nanny said, Yunfang has always been honest, and the servants in the palace don't listen to me very much, so how could they follow my order and kill that lilac? If I really wanted to kill Ding Xiang, I would have killed those nuns together when I killed them, and I would not have left her in the palace to continue to trouble me. As for Yunfang, the nuns said she was honest and responsible, It seems a bit exaggerated, so misleading the empress and letting her commit crimes to me, is there some other ulterior purpose?"

Seeing that Shen Qing moved the spearhead to his own people, Shan Cha was so angry that she wanted to move forward, but before she could do it, Shen Qing firmly grabbed her wrist

"Miss Shancha has to think about it before doing it. Who does Shen Qing belong to? The misunderstanding can be explained clearly. Shen Qing believes that the empress is also a smart person. Originally, the affairs of the harem are family affairs, but if there is a big trouble, it will come to an end." Outside the palace, the one who suffered the most is not me, but the emperor. The emperor ordered me not to leave the palace before, but now if I hadn't got the queen's order, Shen Qing would never dare to take such a risk, and I ask the empress to look into it." Shen Qing paused, then looked at Mrs. Liu at the side: "Madam Liu, please be careful."

Mrs. Liu was originally called by the queen, so naturally she didn't have a good impression of Shen Qing. Being favored by the emperor like this, couldn't it be the stunning beauty of a vixen who was reincarnated?But looking at it now, this sharp mouth and scheming are probably not ordinary.

"Your Majesty, you are being polite." Mrs. Liu said with downcast eyes.

The corners of Shen Qing's mouth were raised slightly, seeing Ji Wuyou's face was still silent, she felt a little confident in her heart, she shook Shan Cha's hand away, looked straight at Ji Wuyou, her eyes showed a few times of sly light Come.

Shan Cha was intimidated by Shen Qing's aura before, but after hearing her words, she felt uncomfortable again. Today, she was planning to be obedient in front of Ji Wuyou, but now she has slapped her in the face , but lost half of the face.

"The imperial concubine is too ignorant of the rules. The emperor keeps you in the palace and is not allowed to go out. You must know it. The empress does not think about it, but becomes more and more arrogant in front of the empress. If this spreads, it is the imperial concubine. You lost the emperor. You have lost the face of the royal family." Shan Cha sneered, turned her head and glanced at Ji Wuyou, seeing Ji Wuyou sitting upright, she gave her a glance of approval, and gained confidence again, and when she looked at Shen Qing, she stood upright. Straighten up.

Shen Qing didn't care about her argument, she understood from what she said just now that Ji Wuyou was still afraid of Xuanyuanli.

"Don't Miss Shancha know that the emperor has issued an order that people in the six palaces are not allowed to enter my palace without the emperor's permission? Now you have entered several times without passing through Tongchuan, which made me mistakenly think that this is the queen. The rules you want to teach me, but they are not?" Shen Qing looked at Shan Cha's slightly pale complexion with a calm expression.Looking at Ji Wuyou who was on the side, he sat there leisurely, looked at himself and Shancha as if watching a play, suddenly chuckled, dare she come here on purpose to let him act for her, it's a great way to save face.

Shan Cha looked at Shen Qing, saw that she suddenly put such a big hat on her head, and turned her head in horror, now she used her own words to fight against her, and even dragged the queen into the water, if the queen is not happy, she will It must be the first to be pushed out to take the blame.

Ji Wuyou's expression became more relaxed, as if she was watching more vigorously, she naturally knew what Shan Cha was thinking, but this Shen Qing really had a sharp mouth!
"Since you can't explain clearly, let's explain clearly, so as not to be accused of being unclear about rewards and punishments." Ji Wuyou gave Shen Qing a cold look, then waved to the woman.

The mother-in-law understood what Ji Wuyou meant, so she walked down Fuli, and when she passed by Shen Qing, she gave her a cold look, showing a somewhat smug smile, and then walked away.

Shen Qing only frowned slightly when looking at the mother-in-law, and didn't say much. Now she just needs to wait for Xuanyuan Zhao to bring the queen mother over.

Not long after, Yun Fang was brought here, but she was not surprised, and even if Ding Xiang was really killed, Ji Wuyou would at most ruin her reputation, but Ji Wuyou would do such a boring thing matter?No, she must have other purposes.

"Kneel down!" The mother-in-law brought Yun Fang over and yelled, Yun Fang also hurriedly knelt down on the ground and dared not speak.

Shen Qing didn't speak, she just looked down at the pale Yun Fang, looking at the blood stains on her skirt, her eyes darkened slightly.

Seeing Shen Qing's slightly changed expression, Ji Wuyou finally smiled

"Why, now that you see the person who killed for you, you can't hold it anymore?" Shan Cha sarcastically said.

Shen Qing looked up at Camellia who seemed to be working extra hard today, and raised her brows slightly: "Did I kill the person, so what?"

"You want to admit it?" Shan Cha was taken aback.

Shen Qing smiled slightly: "I will admit it or not, now that Lilac is dead, even if you want to punish me, queen, you have to wait until the emperor comes back. As for if something happens to me on the way back from the queen's palace, it must be your fault. Madam Liu, do you remember?"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly got up to salute, but she just lowered her head and said nothing.

Shen Qing smiled, it was really just a cover, planning to do something to her halfway, and then there was a rumor of committing suicide in fear of crime.

Shan Cha was a little flustered, and when he panicked, it was easy to show his feet.

She pointed directly at Yunfang and said, "Tell me, did you kill Ding Xiang, and the person who instigated you was the woman standing beside you, Shen Qing!" Shan Cha's tone was a little heavy, with a faint threat Anyone can hear it.

"Slave... Slave..." Yun Fang's complexion was pale, her eyes rolled from side to side, but she really wanted to cry. Now she said yes or no, it was a dead word.

Shen Qing looked outside the palace, and the time for a stick of incense had already passed. If the orchids had already been put out, I believe Xuanyuan Zhao would be there soon.

"It's Shen Qing's fault that Shen Qing couldn't please the queen. As for the murder, I believe the queen should be very clear in her heart. If the queen insists on killing Shen Qing, let Shen Qing plead guilty..." Shen Qing's tone was hardened. Woke up, Ji Wuyou made it clear that she would not give herself a good fruit to eat, this is her territory, since she is not afraid of Xuanyuanli anymore, no matter what she said, she would not let her go, instead she smiled lightly: "I can't even die."

Ji Wuyou looked at Shen Qing, the hand that was playing with the stove suddenly paused, her bright eyes lifted slightly, looking at her perfect face, jealousy started to grow wildly in her heart, but her face was extremely calm: "Are you threatening me? Qing, don't forget, the emperor is not in the palace right now..." She called her over, firstly to tease her, and secondly, as she said, she did it halfway, and then used the excuse of committing suicide in fear of crime, Xuanyuanli knew it was her own doing. With Mrs. Liu's testimony, he can't do anything to him publicly, but what can he do in private?The living are worth more than the dead.

"The emperor is not here, but the queen mother is also here." Shen Qing smiled.

The two nobles in the room laughed happily, but there was constant wind outside, the whimpering of the cold wind, hearing the sound of leaves whirling and falling, Madam Liu secretly grasped her fingers, regretting that she should not have come this time.

Ji Wuyou still smiled faintly, and the red lips under the tulle raised her face, revealing a slight smile: "Do you know that cleverness is misled by cleverness? If the queen mother can come, how come there is no movement now? "After Ji Wuyou finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the women on both sides also slowly walked over.

Shen Qing's face remained unchanged: "It seems that you have also done tricks on the Queen Mother's side, but smart people will never be fooled by their cleverness, only those who think they are smart will be stumbled by their own cleverness. "Shen Qing raised her eyes and looked straight at Ji Wuyou. The Queen Mother is not a fool. They planted spies in each other's palaces. In the end, the competition may not necessarily be due to their superiority, but also to luck.

"Empress, do you believe that the Empress Dowager's people are already outside the palace?"

Ji Wuyou's cold eyes turned lightly: "Could it be that the queen mother has blatantly violated the emperor's will and returned from the other courtyard outside the palace?"

"Outside the palace?" Shen Qing frowned slightly, did Xuanyuanli order the Queen Mother to leave the palace before leaving?But Xuanyuan Zhao never mentioned this matter at all, unless...

Shen Qing laughed lightly: "In your eyes, the emperor is really just for controlling and using. Ji Wuyou, didn't you think that you would set yourself on fire if you did this?" No matter how fearful he is, with his personality, he will be desperate to get rid of Ji Wuyou.

"Set yourself on fire?" Ji Wuyou chuckled lightly, "Then let's see if the fire can burn me." Ji Wuyou leaned lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, resting her forehead with one hand and smiling lightly.

Mrs. Liu became even more frightened when she heard this, but the queen didn't mean to let her leave at all...

She closed her eyes in despair, and heard Shen Qing say: "Mrs. Liu."

"My wife is here." Mrs. Liu hurriedly saluted, but her forehead was covered with sweat in such a cold day.

Shen Qing smiled slightly: "Since the empress doesn't want people to go outside the palace to have a look, why don't I bother you to go to the door to see for me, is there a distinguished guest coming?" She just hoped that Xuanyuan Zhao would arrive .

Hearing this, Ji Wuyou frowned slightly: "Don't you think the emperor will come back suddenly?"

Shen Qing smiled: "The queen is not the only one who falsely preaches the imperial decree."

Everyone wished they didn't have long ears, and Mrs. Liu's legs gave way, and she almost fell to her knees on the ground.After receiving Shen Qing's words, he quickly saluted and went out.

Ji Wuyou's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Shen Qing. She seems to be the same as before, full of ideas, and clever enough to make people jealous. Why is this person so favored by God?
"Shen Qing, you can't beat me." Ji Wuyou raised the corner of his mouth.

The corner of Shen Qing's mouth raised evil spirits: "I never thought of fighting with you, but you forced me."

After speaking, news came from outside.

The woman who was talking back and forth shuddered and knelt on the ground: "Empress Empress, it's...it's the emperor."

"emperor?"

Shen Qing and Ji Wuyou said at the same time, didn't Xuanyuanli have to leave for a long time because of Mongolian affairs, why did he come back so soon, it was still at this time.

The Shancha and the old lady next to her also looked terrified, as if they were about to face a catastrophe.Shen Qing looked at the horror and hatred in the eyes of the two of them, and felt a little strange in her heart, but then remembered that from the beginning to the end, they had never been so afraid. If it was because of herself, then there was no need, because no matter how So, the queen will not abandon them because of this, are they afraid that Xuanyuanli will find out something?

Thinking of this level, Shen Qing turned to look at Ji Wuyou, and sure enough, she who was just waiting for a good show just now also frowned slightly.

Just when Ji Wuyou was thinking about how to deal with it, a figure appeared at the door.

Xuanyuan Li was wearing armor, with a stern expression on his face. Behind him were several soldiers who had not removed their armor. As soon as he entered the room, the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop to freezing point.

"emperor."

Several people saluted, and Shen Qing stood behind with a slightly gloomy expression.

Xuanyuanli glanced at Yun Fang who was kneeling on the ground: "Go and pack things for your mother."

"Which lady?" Yun Fang was momentarily confused.

"Of course it's the imperial concubine." Xuanyuan Zhao walked in from the outside, dressed in a dark green robe, and when he saw Shen Qing, he was quite proud.

Shen Qing glanced at him coldly, could it be that he found Xuanyuanli?

"The emperor has not entered the palace of his concubines for a long time. It is rare to come here in such a hurry today." The corners of Ji Wuyou's eyes hanging upwards added a bit of contempt. Of course, these contempt and disdain were all for Shen Qing to see. of.

Shen Qing heard the words, but didn't say anything, Xuanyuanli came here like this, he should already know a lot of things, as for the false preaching of the imperial decree, either the queen mother was too stupid to guess, or the queen mother simply used the plan and killed Ji Wuyou The first army, together with myself and Xuanyuan Zhao who contributed to the flames...

"The empress knows why I came here. Now that the war is so tight, I don't care about it, but the empress still has to take care of the harem. There must be no next time for other things." Xuanyuan Li was not as angry as everyone thought , but everyone could see that he was full of murderous intent.

Ji Wuyou looked at him, and seeing him like this made her even angrier. She just hated him. No matter what she did, he always had such a neutral attitude, but when it came to Shen Qing, he was in a hurry, Lost manners.

"The concubine naturally knows what to do and what not to do. The emperor doesn't have to worry. If the concubine is not careful, she will be very careful next time!" Ji Wuyou's tone was unceremonious, even threatening , Xuanyuanli still has to rely on himself now, because the powerful officials in Nanzhao still recognize him.

"That's good, but..." Xuanyuanli's slender fingers slowly raised up, pointing directly at a person in the room, and the person saw his finger pointing, plopped directly to his knees on the ground, trembling all over.

Everyone looked at Xuanyuanli's fingers, and saw Shancha who was already kneeling on the ground trembling, and the woman who was somewhat similar to her.

Ji Wuyou seemed to have guessed Xuanyuanli's thoughts, her silver teeth clenched slightly: "Shancha, Mama Yu, what's the matter with you?" Ji Wuyou's tone was gloomy, and she knew she was angry.

On the contrary, Nanny Yu was not as calm as Shan Cha, trembling, trying to pretend to be calm, but Xuanyuan Li came in person outside, she couldn't calm down at all, and directly knocked her head on the ground
"Your Majesty, it's all the servant's fault. It's the servant's arbitrariness to kill Ding Xiang and frame the noble concubine. It has nothing to do with Shan Cha. I beg the Emperor and Your Majesty to spare Shan Cha."

Shen Qing was also slightly surprised, and without waiting for Shen Qing to think any more, Ji Wuyou had already asked directly: "Really?" Block more.

Xuanyuanli was on the side, watching alone, neither asking nor interjecting.

Mammy Yu raised her eyes and glanced at him, but immediately took it back like an electric shock: "Your Majesty, please save Shancha for the sake of serving you with all your heart and soul." Nanny Yu kept begging road.

Shen Qing watched coldly from the side, frowned slightly at Xuanyuanzhao's eyes that kept looking over, she was still puzzled why Xuanyuanli would rush back at this time, but Xuanyuanli had already spoken: "In the harem, there is Such a bold slave, but the people around the queen, I will deal with them directly, so as not to let the queen be accused of committing crimes without knowing what is right or wrong." After Xuanyuan Li finished speaking, he waved his palm lightly, and the guards outside They filed in and grabbed Nanny Yu directly.

Ji Wuyou looked at Nanny Yu who kept begging for mercy, and frowned, as if she wanted to reach out to do something, but just as she raised her hand, something flew out from the spot on the sleeve, waiting for no one Seeing clearly, the thing that shone with coldness directly passed through Nanny Yu's back and passed through her chest, killing her on the spot, without even groaning in a hurry.

Everyone was frightened by this sudden scene, they never imagined that Nanny Yu, who was still fine just now, was already lying on the ground lifeless.

"Escort!" Xuanyuan Zhao hurriedly shouted coldly, and the surrounding guards quickly surrounded the entire room, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. Shen Qing was also pulled over by Xuanyuan Li and put behind her.

"Hide behind me carefully." Xuanyuanli turned his head and said with concern, seeing her slightly pale face, thought she was scared, and hated Ji Wuyou even more in his heart.

Shen Qing frowned slightly, and when he turned his head away to look at Ji Wuyou again, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, could it be that she made someone release the hidden weapon just now?
The people around were all pale with fright, seeing the aura of the surrounding guards, their screams were choked in their throats.
