Chapter 97

If it is just because of the court lady's disrespect, it is really a trivial matter, not worth mentioning; but if the punished court lady jumps into the lake and commits suicide, her life is at stake, and I'm afraid the matter will become a big one.

Before Shen Xin entered the palace, she was the daughter of the admiral of the capital, with a high status, but it didn't mean that she could mess around. After entering the palace, she was just a beautiful girl who was waiting for the prince's favor. Now she is involved in the murder case. Little things that are casually muddled through.

When Shen Xin and Qingzhu rushed to the edge of Weiming Lake, Yinling's body had already been salvaged, because after soaking in the middle of the night, her skin was white and slightly swollen, her eyes were still wide open, and her face was full of pimples. Unwilling resentment in my heart.The cheek on the right was red and swollen from the cheekbone to the corner of the mouth because of the green bamboo beating.

All around were court ladies and eunuchs who came in a hurry, and the beautiful ladies hadn't had time to come out yet, Shen Xin stood outside the crowd, and the moment he saw the silver bell, his face turned pale.

actually died?

There was a lot of noise outside early in the morning, and the show girls also got up one after another. They heard that someone died in the Weiming Lake outside, and they put on their clothes a little faster.

When the other beautiful girls rushed to the lake, Shen Xin still stood there in a daze, looking at the person lying on the ground from a long distance, as if his heart was hooked by something bit by bit, and then gradually he couldn't breathe angry.

Why did you jump into the lake?Isn't it just a few slaps?It actually made her want to die?

When the show girls got closer and saw the wet dead person lying on the grass and the hideous expression on her face, almost everyone gasped, and Shi Yanting, who was always taciturn, was even more weak-legged. For a moment, fortunately, the maid beside her helped her in time.

The last one to come out was Yinling's master, Yunsu.

No one woke her up today, she vaguely heard noises outside, called a few silver bells, but did not hear a response, so she fumbled to get dressed, and went out to see what was going on.There was a group of people around the lake, and she couldn't see what was in the middle, so she got closer, but she was shocked when she saw the people lying on the ground.

"Yin... Yinling?" She pronounced the name with difficulty, her whole body trembled, and she was on the verge of falling.

Aunt Liao, who was in charge of Changchun Pavilion's daily life, also rushed to the lake, and quickly supported Yun Su who was already unsteady: "Girl?"

Looking again, Yun Su's cheeks were covered with teardrops, and her bright eyes were full of disbelief, which immediately turned into pain and anger.She turned around and pointed at Shen Xin tremblingly: "Murderer! Murderer! You killed Yinling, and it's all your fault!"

Furious, angry and hated, Yun Su was no longer the usual bright and charming girl who smiled and talked, Xue Baochai turned into Wang Xifeng, turned into a tiger and rushed towards Shen Xin.

Shen Xin was frightened by Yin Ling's death to the point of losing his soul, but now seeing Yun Su rushing towards him recklessly, he immediately screamed, but it was too late to dodge, and he was forcibly crushed by the other party.Even though she was lying on the soft lawn, the feeling of being pushed to the ground was still uncomfortable. Where did the spoiled and pampered Qianjin miss suffer from this kind of pain?It felt like all the bones in my body were about to fall apart.

Yun Su screamed, and stretched out his hand towards Shen Xin's neck: "It's you! It's you who killed Yinling! You poisonous woman!"

She pinched Shen Xin with all her strength until he couldn't breathe, his face was flushed, and he gasped for help with difficulty.The surrounding girls and Aunt Liao hurried up to hold Yun Su, and rescued Shen Xin from her clutches.

"Girl calm down, don't act impulsively!" Aunt Liao held Yun Su, while persuading her earnestly, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, girl, don't blame others at will, there are too many things like this in the palace, after all There are many people and things are complicated, and it is not uncommon for one or two court ladies and eunuchs to die in an accident. The girl should calm down first, and it will not be too late to pursue the matter when the truth comes to light."

"Pursuant? What else is there to pursue? If it weren't for this poisonous woman who insisted on slapping her for no reason, how could Yinling suffer such unfair injustice and have someone slap her for no reason? How could she not think about it, at such a young age Just jump into the lake and commit suicide?" Yun Su's eyes were red with anger, and while shedding tears, she screamed at Shen Xin, wishing she could rush forward and tear her apart, "Where did Yinling offend you? Since entering the palace Come on, she treats me well and thinks of me in everything, just like my own sister. Yesterday you spoke out to ridicule me and pick on my weaknesses, but she just spoke to you politely for me, Unexpectedly, you are so vicious that you let someone slap her mouth! If it wasn't for you, how could she have died?"

Yun Su was crying and fussing, the appearance of pear blossoms falling in the rain was unbearable, those bright eyes like stars were full of tears, and the anger and grievance in them directly hit people's hearts.

She was crying out of breath, and finally threw herself down beside Yinling, and stretched out her hand to hold her wet arm: "Yinling, get up, get up quickly! Why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid? Suicide, you idiot...."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

On the verdant grass, the young court lady was lying quietly on the ground, her skin was shockingly white, and Yun Su was lying beside her crying heartbrokenly, which was even more unbearable to look at.

People in this palace are treacherous, and there are endless intrigues and deceptions, but this Yun Su is simple-minded and has no ambitions, so he made love with the dead palace lady in just a few days.

But everyone didn't find it surprising, after all, Yunsu's performance these days was obvious to all, but she was just a silly girl who went straight to the point and didn't know how to hide her inner thoughts.

All in all, the tranquility of the morning was broken by Yinling's death.

In the early morning today, Shen Junfeng and Mu Qingzhuo had an unprecedented moment of disagreement.

The thing is like this, about the flood disaster in Shu, Qin Shu sent a letter back to the palace, saying that there was a big disagreement on the issue of post-disaster reconstruction, how should the people be resettled?How do shops reopen?After all, funds are limited. Should the homeless people be resettled first, or should the shops that meet the daily needs of the people be reopened first?
Shen Junfeng said that the people come first in everything. If the disaster victims cannot settle down, but the imperial court strongly supports the reopening of shops, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the common people, thinking that the imperial court favors profit over the people.

Mu Qingzhuo frowned: "Master Shen's words are wrong. If all the disaster relief funds from the national treasury are used to resettle the victims, but food and clothing cannot be provided, how can the people still eat their houses? Only the basic needs are met. This is the fundamental solution to the flood crisis.”

The ministers have different opinions and hold their own opinions. Many people raised their eyebrows and expressed surprise at the differences between the unified factions.

Zhao Wu has not spoken. After all, the flood has dragged on to such a serious situation. Most of it is due to his "capable" son. He has lost all his old face, so he dares to say anything?Looking for a slot to spit?
Gu Qi just smiled and said nothing, this was the first time after the flood that he felt happy, and even the slightly sad feeling that he was the only one left after Chu Yan left Yong'an Palace was diluted a lot.

If he is on the sidelines, he will too.

However, after the early court, Gu Qi heard about the death of a maid in Changchun Pavilion while he was still on his way to the imperial study.

"What's going on?" He frowned. It's been a long time since the palace had any troubles. When the emperor was still in the palace, the phenomenon of rivalry in the harem was still there. There were many similar things, but since the emperor and his concubine Rong After going to the south of the Yangtze River, there was no need to compete for favor in the harem, and the concubines also stopped.

Wanxi repeated what the people below reported just now, including the cause of the incident and the end of the climax, detailing everything.

Just now Gu Qi was still admiring Shen Junfeng for not being obedient for the first time, but when he heard that Shen Xin indirectly killed a court lady, he frowned again.

You have to forgive others and forgive others. After so many years, few people in the harem understand this truth.Although the matter of slapping the mouth is the right of the master, and it is too rash for the court lady to jump into the lake to commit suicide just because of this matter, but in the end the matter was caused by Shen Xin's punishment, which inevitably attracted criticism.

"How does Your Highness plan to deal with it?" Wan Xi hesitated.

How to deal with it?Gu Qi is also upset!

No one in the court has ever been willing to be subordinate to others, so Shen Junfeng has been under Mu Qingzhuo's command for many years, but it is only because he does not have enough skills to compete with him, so he has to choose to be attached.And this time Shen Junfeng knew well that the crown prince chose Shen Xin to enter the palace to give him more weight in the court, and he finally knew how to raise the pole and had the courage to fight against Mu Qingzhuo. Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Something went wrong for Shen Xin.

Punish her, that's embarrassing Shen Junfeng, a bad one will frustrate his courage to gain weight after so much effort; don't punish her, go!How can it not be punished?Since childhood, Gu Qi has been developing towards a stern, impartial, and strict king. How can he tolerate traitors and protect his weaknesses in front of the entire palace?
Gu Qi stopped abruptly, and punched the vermilion pillar beside him with a straight face, couldn't everything go well?

Wanxi looked at Zhuzi silently, but didn't dare to speak, His Royal Highness wanted to compare the hardness with Zhuzi, and the princess was not here, who came to persuade him?
That night, when the beautiful girls were having dinner, the little eunuch who was passing the message by the prince had already arrived at the gate of Changchun Pavilion, walked through several courtyards without squinting, head held high, and finally stopped in front of Shen Xin's small courtyard.

After a while, everyone knew that Shen Xin would be the first one among the show girls to attend the bed tonight.

Hearing the bad news, everyone had different reactions.

Mu Nianqiu was picking up the vegetables, and without changing his face when he heard the words, he put the vegetables into his mouth steadily, and gave a hum, indicating that he understood: It seems that Shen Junfeng has shown something in the court.

Chongzheng gave a slight pause to the hand holding vegetables, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: The horn of battle has sounded?
Chen Xi was drinking soup, choked a little, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth clean, lost his mind for a moment: Shen Xin was a blessing in disguise?

Both Shi Yanting and Xie Yanran didn't respond, they didn't bother to say anything, the former didn't care at all, while the latter was just hanging on.

Only Yun Su reacted the most violently, throwing the chopsticks quickly, his eyes were still red and swollen, and he was about to rush out: "I would like to ask His Royal Highness, what does this mean, pampering the slut, pampering the adulterer?"

Tong Ling, the new maid from the Shangyi Bureau, rushed forward to chase after her: "Girl, don't be impulsive, you can't go or control this matter!"

Tongling is naturally Yun Su's new name for her.

Yun Su was furious: "Why can't I go? I'm just going to ask His Royal Highness why he condoned that vicious woman. I want to tell His Highness the scandal she has done so that she won't continue to deceive His Highness!"

At this time, Shen Xin in the opposite yard leisurely sent away the eunuch who sent the message, and looked at the angry Yun Su with a contented face: "Oh, my sister is so angry!"

Even she herself did not expect that everything would go so smoothly, presumably her father had done something in the court, and the crown prince also wanted to keep her at this time.Shen Xin was worried about whether he would be punished by the prince in the morning, but he didn't expect the good news of the bed attendant to come in the evening, he was really lucky and couldn't stop it.

Yun Su was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Unexpectedly, the angrier she was, the more proud Shen Xin became. Finally, she waved her hand leisurely: "Sister, hurry up and go back to eat, otherwise the dishes will be ruined." If it’s cold, it’s not good if there’s no place to heat it.”

It's completely the face of a villain.

It's just that Shen Xin turned around and went back to the courtyard, but didn't see Yun Su, who was still furious just now, bit her lip and quickly calmed down.She looked thoughtfully at the direction in which Shen Xin was leaving, and when she turned around, she had a strange expression.

There are three kinds of women in this harem, one is to serve the emperor with color, the other is to capture the heart of the emperor, and the other is born in a family of courtiers or plutocrats, which has a certain role in controlling the emperor, and is also used by the emperor to control the family chess pieces.

Serving the king with color is the easiest, because anyone can do it as long as they are born with good conditions and good at learning, but the limitation lies in whether the king is greedy or not.In the eyes of the current prince... he is not a greedy person, but it is hard to say, after all, he knows the prince's heart only when he goes to bed.

Capturing the heart of the king is the most difficult thing. After all, the heart is not something that can be obtained easily. If you don't give your feelings, it is difficult to get the sincerity of others, and this is not something that can be done overnight.

Among the three methods, the third one is the least effortful. As long as you are born in a family of courtiers or a wealthy family, you can get what you want without any effort at all, but at the same time, this kind of People are also the most pitiful.Because you don't know when your role as a pawn is exhausted, and you will be abandoned immediately.

Yun Su calmed down and walked slowly back to the small courtyard. Shen Xin's fate would definitely not be good.

It's just a matter of time.

There is a layer of rose petals floating in the wooden barrel, and the green smoke is like mist and illusion, giving people an illusion that it is not real enough.

Shen Xin's whole body was soaked in warm water, the smile on her lips grew wider, her long black hair quietly floating on the water.If she doesn't speak, when she's not intrigue, she is still very beautiful, warm and feeble on a sunny day, with spring dew in her brows and timid eyes, with amorous flair between her brows, delicate and pitiful.

She walked out of the barrel gracefully, Qingzhu hurriedly picked up the towel to wipe her body, every inch of skin was tender and smooth, just like a baby.

Shen Xin said slowly: "Okay, you can go out."

Qingzhu was stunned: "The master's clothes are not on yet, the servant—"

"Go out first." She smiled and said without doubt.

Qingzhu was slightly startled, then obediently left the room and closed the door behind her.

What happened to Yinling today, it stands to reason that even if Shen Xin is fine, she, the person who punished Yinling, would die a miserable death.But in the end, both the master and the servant were safe and sound, and Shen Xin had a good chance to serve him at bedtime. Qingzhu almost understood how to serve this noble master in the future.

After the door was closed, Shen Xin slowly took out the bottle of acacia dew brought back from outside the palace from the depths of the closet, uncorked the bottle, poured some liquid into the palm of his hand, and then moved down his body little by little. wipe.

In the end, Shen Xin put on the gauze dress hanging on the screen, it was as thin as a cicada's wing, clear and seductive.

Qingzhu came in and covered her with the last gown, so that she couldn't see the scene inside.

The fragrance radiated from Shen Xin's body bit by bit, Qing Zhu's brows stretched, and he felt indescribably comfortable, his whole body seemed to be blown by a lazy breeze, but his heart felt inexplicably itchy.

"Master is really beautiful. Presumably His Royal Highness will not be able to take his eyes off you when he sees you tonight."

Shen Xin hooked her lips into a smile, not only couldn't she look away?I'm afraid... I won't be able to get out of bed.
