Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 145

Shen Wanyu turned around slowly when she heard a familiar voice.He saw a slender figure approaching from a distance, wearing a moon-white robe with dark pattern and tufted flowers in silver silk, which was indescribably elegant.

Chu Mohan originally wanted to enter the palace to talk to the emperor, but he didn't expect to see the scene just now when he passed by the Imperial Garden.He knew that the third princess Chu Ruyun liked Lu Zifeng, but Lu Zifeng didn't like her at all.He heard what she said about Shen Wanyu just now, and originally wanted to teach her a lesson secretly.Unexpectedly, this little wild cat made the first move, what a girl who refused to suffer.

"Third princess, as a princess of the royal family, don't you think it's inappropriate to say what you said just now? If you let the emperor know, what do you think the emperor will do?"

Shen Wanyu looked at Chu Mohan who was walking towards her, she blinked her eyes twice.She found that she could always see him today, and she found that this enchanting persimmon seemed to look better than before.

Chu Ruyun endured the burning pain on her face, her eyes were full of hatred.She took a deep breath, Chu Mohan was not someone she could provoke.Although he is not a prince, he is very much loved and valued by the emperor.

The emperor placed half of Dakun's military power in the hands of King Han, and promoted Chu Mohan to be a general.He is the youngest general in Dakun's history, but he performed very well in several expeditions with King Han.He was even called the God of War by the common people, and even some princes dare not be arrogant in front of him like this.

"I, I." Chu Ruyun opened her mouth, she had always been a little afraid of Chu Mohan.That kind of fear is a little inexplicable, as if she stumbles a bit when facing him now.

Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows and looked at the stuttering Chu Ruyun.Ouch, these three princesses were very talkative just now.Why can't you even say a word now?

Sensing Shen Wanyu's teasing gaze, Chu Ruyun hated her to the extreme.I can't wait to go up and strangle her to death, it's because of her that I'm in this embarrassing situation now.

"I remember that the third princess seems to be being grounded by the emperor, but now she appears here. Are you also disrespectful, princess?"

Chu Mohan raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a slight arc.He didn't give her face because of her status. In her eyes, except for his girl, other women were not considered women.

Chu Ruyun was awkward in speaking when facing Chu Mohan, but now he said that again.Immediately blocked, she was speechless, and could only stare at Shen Wanyu blankly.She didn't understand what was so good about Shen Wanyu, Chu Muhan liked her so much.She even showed up for her, and now even Lu Zifeng, whom she likes, also likes her.

"I didn't. I was going to visit my concubine today. I heard that my concubine was ill, so she begged my father to let me visit her."

After a long time, Chu Ruyun lowered his head slightly.The voice was very small, with a hint of grievance and unwillingness.

"Oh? So that's the case, but do you still want to see your mother and concubine now?"

Chu Mohan glanced lightly at Chu Ruyun, who had red and swollen cheeks, this little girl was really ruthless.Look at her beating someone's face, I'm afraid it will be disfigured if it is more severe.

When Chu Ruyun heard Chu Mohan's words, the burning pain on his cheek came again.She reached out to cover her cheek, bit her lip and said.

"I don't want to worry my concubine, so I'll go back first."

Although she was not reconciled in her heart, what else could she do now?Besides, she doesn't need to think about it to know that she must be in a mess now, and she doesn't want to let him see her messy side in front of the person she likes.

She swallowed this breath today, and sooner or later she will utter this bad breath.She glared at Shen Wanyu fiercely, then turned around and left with her people.

Watching the mighty group of people leaving, Shen Wanyu curled her lips.Really boring, I thought I could find something to play with.

"Why are you here?"

Shen Wanyu looked at Chu Mohan, she discovered another advantage in him today.This man's mouth is really poisonous.Seeing that as soon as he spoke, Chu Ruyun was blocked by a word.

"I went into the palace to find some business with the emperor. I happened to see you here and came over to say hello to you."

Chu Mohan stretched out his hand to pin the hair on Shen Wanyu's cheek behind her ear, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.As soon as he saw her beating someone, he couldn't help laughing.Even when he hit someone, he was still so righteous.

"Okay, now you can go after saying hello." Shen Wanyu took a step back, opening the distance between the two.She looked up at Mu Zhirui, smiled slightly and said, "Princess Zhirui, I'll accompany you back. Didn't you say you were uncomfortable just now?"

Mu Zhirui was watching a play to see how excited she was, when Shen Wanyu suddenly called her name.Still, she reacted quickly enough, and immediately showed a smile on her face: "Well, you can go back with me."

Chu Mohan smiled slightly, but didn't say anything else.He turned his head to look at Lu Zifeng who was obviously relieved, he did not forget what he did to his little girl just now.Even though he knew that he didn't have any evil thoughts about his girl, it was just to get away.But he is stingy.

"Zifeng, come with me to the emperor's place. I have something to talk to the emperor, and this matter happens to be related to you. Now that I meet you here, I will save the time for others to find you again. "

Lu Zifeng was slightly taken aback when he heard Chu Mohan's words, and when he raised his head to meet his smiling Danfeng eyes.His body trembled inexplicably, why did he feel that his smile was a little creepy?
"Uh, I just came out from the emperor, and I haven't heard anything about it?"

Chu Mohan pursed his lips, and said calmly: "The thing I want to talk to the emperor has to do with you, so I want you to come with me."

Seeing that Lu Zifeng still didn't want to go with him, he narrowed his eyes slightly.Stepping up to Lu Zifeng's side, he whispered something in his ear.Lu Zifeng's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Chu Mohan in surprise.

"Is what you said true?"

Chu Mohan nodded: "Of course, how could I lie to you? I never lie."

Lu Zifeng looked at Chu Mohan, why did he think this sentence sounded so familiar.I seem to have heard it somewhere.

Shen Wanyu twitched the corner of her mouth, didn't she say this just now?Chu Mohan was stealing her words, how much did he see just now?

Shen Wanyu was very curious about Chu Mohan and what Lu Zifeng said.But now she has more important things to do, she greeted a few people and left with Mu Zhirui.

After Shen Wanyu left, Lu Zifeng finally decided to follow Chu Mohan to see the emperor.Because what Chu Mohan told him was really too attractive to him.

Xiao Leng looked at the Royal Garden, which was still lively just now, and now he was left alone.He shook his head, he'd better go to the elder brother.

Shen Wanyu followed Mu Zhirui to the place where she lived, leaving only Qiu Zhu and her two close maids in the inner room with poetic and picturesque feelings.

"Miss Shen drinks tea."

Shiqing cleverly poured a cup of hot tea for Shen Wanyu and brought it to her.Her Royal Highness has always seemed to be on good terms with everyone, but those are all illusions.

Shen Wanyu took the tea and took a look at Shiqing.It looks very lively, and the eyes are so cute when they are gurgling around.

"Tell me, did something happen after I left last night?" Shen Wanyu took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Seeing Shen Wanyu's enjoyment expression, Mu Zhirui couldn't help shaking her head.She told Shen Wanyu everything about last night, she didn't even recognize everyone in the harem when she first came here.So far, she has only seen the queen mother and queen.

After Shen Wanyu heard what Mu Zhirui said about last night, she frowned.This Mu Zhirui has just arrived, is there someone who can't help but do it so soon?
"I haven't seen many people in this harem, who will attack me?"

Mu Zhirui took off the veil on her face, and she took the wet veil that Huayi handed over.After wiping off the thick layer of rouge on his face, the rash on his fair face immediately became more and more clear.

Shen Wanyu looked at Mu Zhirui's face in amazement, although it was still beautiful.But to be honest, the red rash really ruined the beauty, and the people who did it were really cruel.

"Then let's analyze it. You came to Dakun to choose a concubine for the crown prince. Those who want to get rid of you must not want you to win the first prize at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. I have listed the top candidates for the crown prince and side concubine, take a look."

Shiqing handed over the pen and paper at the right time, and Shen Wanyu took it.The two court ladies beside Mu Zhirui are really nice and clever.Having the two of them by her side is also her help.

Shen Wanyu wrote the names of several people on the white paper, and then she pushed the paper to Mu Zhirui's eyes.

Mu Zhirui glanced at the life on the white paper, she was slightly taken aback.Shen Wanyu looked at her expression, smiled slightly, and then said: "There are two popular candidates for the crown princess, one is Mu Leyao, the eldest lady of Duke Mu's mansion, and the other is Yun Ruoyan, the daughter-in-law of Duke Zhen's mansion. Both of them have huge family backgrounds, especially Yun Ruoyan. She is the niece of the current empress, and she has a better chance of winning than Mu Leyao."

Mu Zhirui looked at it and wrote down the names.She doesn't care about the candidate for the crown princess, and her goal is not the position of the crown princess.She knows her identity very well, even though she is the princess of a country.But Mu Luguo is just a subordinate country of Dakun, and she is nothing more than an ordinary official girl in Dakun.

Shen Wanyu looked at her indifferently, she knew that Mu Zhirui's purpose was very clear.She only came here for the position of the prince's side concubine, it should be said that she is very self-aware.She loves working with such people.

"There are two positions for the crown prince and side concubine, and there are five candidates for these two positions. Du Xiaoxin, Li Ruoqin, Zhang Suya, Qin Huilan, and Shen Wanqing."

When Mu Zhirui heard Mu Zhirui's words, she was slightly taken aback and said, "Shen Wanyu?"

If she hadn't forgotten, she remembered that Shen Wanqing seemed to be the second lady of the Beining Hou Mansion.That is to say, Shen Wanqing is Shen Wanyu's younger sister.

Shen Wanyu coughed lightly, and she smiled slightly: "I really have to remind you, my second younger sister is really the one who has the best chance of becoming the crown prince's side concubine among these five people. Whether it is the crown prince or the emperor, it is for The face of the Hou Mansion will also make Shen Wanqing the crown prince's side concubine."

If she had agreed to become the crown prince before, then Shen Wanqing would definitely not be able to become the crown prince's side concubine.Because neither the grandmother nor the empress dowager would allow a second woman from the Shen family to enter the prince's mansion and become a threat to her.It's a pity that she doesn't want to get into the never-ending struggle between those women, she doesn't have that much leisure.

"I really want to know, since your younger sister is already determined to be the crown prince's side concubine. Then why do you want to be an ally with me? I think it should be more reliable for you to be an ally with you."

Mu Zhirui didn't understand why Shen Wanyu didn't form an alliance with her own sister, but instead formed an alliance with her, a princess of a small country with no power.Shouldn't your own family be better?
Shen Wanyu hooked the corners of her mouth, showing a sneering smile: "Have you ever heard of a good relationship between the concubine daughter and the concubine daughter of that family? Besides, my second sister's mother is a powerful aunt. It's all thanks to him."

Mu Zhirui looked at the mocking smile on the corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth, and she immediately understood the twists and turns.She picked up the teacup, rubbing the rim of the cup with her fingers.

"I see, you and I form an alliance because you want me to contain your second sister?"

"clever!"

Shen Wanyu praised without hesitation, she just liked Mu Zhirui's calmness and intelligence.Although there are some dangers in forming an alliance with such a person, the benefits are obvious.

"You are really blunt. If this is the case, then I will tell you straight. I can help you contain or even deal with your second sister, but I need your Marquis Mansion as my strong backing. After all, it is a good thing for me to say Princess of the country, to put it bluntly, my status in Dakun is no more than that of an ordinary official woman. I want to go further, so I must find an ally for myself that can go forward together."

Mu Zhirui looked at Shen Wanyu, and saw that she stated her purpose so straightforwardly.She didn't want to talk to her about anything else. It's much better for some people to directly state their goals than to go around.

"Of course, as long as you don't break the covenant between us. Then I, the Marquis of Beining, will advance and retreat with you forever. You can rest assured about this."

Shen Wanyu took a sip of tea, she was really curious about what her tea was.It tastes different when it's hot and when it's cold, but both are delicious.Some teas don't taste good once they get cold, but this one doesn't.

"I believe in you and hope our cooperation will be very pleasant."

Mu Zhirui smiled slightly, she was willing to trust the woman in front of her.This kind of trust came very strangely, it was her intuition that made her choose to trust her.And she is a person who does things based on this intuition.When she was in Mu Luguo before, she was able to avoid so many plots because of this intuition.

Shen Wanyu stretched out her hand and collided with Mu Zhirui's palm.In this way, the two clapped their hands together and became true allies.

With this layer of ally relationship, the distance between the two unknowingly narrowed a bit.Shen Wanyu glanced at the five names behind the side concubine on the white paper, and pointed to one of them.

"There is another woman here who is also a threat to you. Qin Huilan is the niece of the concubine Xian in the palace. The concubine Xian and the queen belong to the same faction, so it is very likely that she will be selected as the side concubine. But I heard that Qin Huilan likes it Whether she will enter this competition depends on the concubine Xian. If she wants izj's niece to marry into the prince's mansion, then she is your biggest threat. And you"

Shen Wanyu paused, and a sneer curled up on the corner of her mouth: "It's also her biggest threat, no, you should be said to be the biggest threat to Concubine Xian."

After Mu Zhirui listened to Shen Wanyu's words, a faint smile appeared on her enchanting face.She lowered her eyes slightly, covering the coldness in her eyes.

"You mean, the person who attacked me that night was Concubine Xian's?"

Shen Wanyu picked up a pen and wrote a few more names on the white paper. She pointed and said, "This is just my guess. Except for Concubine Xian, these people are also possible. You have lived in the harem since you were young." , I heard that you grew up beside the queen mother. I think the queen mother of Mu Luguo should have taught you a lot, otherwise I don’t think she would let you come here alone.”

When Mu Zhirui heard Shen Wanyu's words, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Mu Zhirui's mouth.She taught her a lot, but it wasn't that she was worried about coming here alone.but
She didn't want to think about those unhappy things in the past, and she raised her head to look at Shen Wanyu after she settled her emotions.

"I know what you mean. The concubines in the harem will use all kinds of means to compete for favor. Maybe this is her trick to frame Concubine Xian. Then who are these people you wrote about?"

Shen Wanyu liked Mu Zhirui's intelligence very much. She pointed to the names of those people and said, "Concubine De and Concubine Shu are the concubines of the third prince and the second prince respectively. They are in their own faction, and they all get along very well on the surface. But Secretly, they compete with each other, wanting to point each other to death. Concubine Xian only has a princess and no prince by her side, she has always relied on the queen. Concubine Xian looks gentle and kind, but she can always get the emperor It can be seen that she is not a simple person. And this Zhen Zhaoyi, you have to be more careful."

Shen Wanyu drew an extra stroke on the face of Zhen Zhaoyi's name, and Mu Zhirui could hear the seriousness and seriousness in her mouth.She couldn't help but take another look at Zhen Zhaoyi's name, the person she valued so much must not be a simple person.But among the concubines who can survive in a place like the harem, which one is a simple person?

"Who is Zhen Zhaoyi?"

Shen Wanyu's eyes were a little colder, she raised the corners of her mouth and sneered, "Zhen Zhaoyi is a relative of my second aunt, she has always wanted Shen Wanqing to marry the prince. Although she has been favored, she has never had an heir. How long can she be favored by the emperor? This draft is selected every three years. If a newcomer enters the palace, her position will be in jeopardy. Naturally, she has to find a support for herself."

Mu Zhirui nodded, she understood.This Zhen Zhaoyi is on the side of that Shen Wanqing, that is to say, she and Shen Wanyu are enemies.She remembered Zhen Zhaoyi in her heart, and she would pay more attention to her in the future.

"I know, I will pay attention to these people. Don't worry, I am not a person who doesn't know anything. I have lived in the harem for so many years. I have seen a lot of open and secret battles among the concubines. Sometimes I have also suffered from those machinations."

Shen Wanyu looked at Mu Zhirui Zhang's beautiful face even though she had a rash.She suddenly felt that the woman in front of her was intelligent and beautiful, but who would know the bitterness behind this intelligence?

"Don't worry, as long as our covenant exists, I will always stand by your side, no matter what happens, I will do my best to keep you."

Shen Wanyu took Mu Zhirui's hand, put her fingers on his wrist to diagnose her pulse.Having said so much just now, she almost forgot about seeing her doctor.

Huayi knows medical skills, she knew Shen Wanyu was checking the pulse of her princess when she saw Shen Wanyu's movements.She took a step forward and stood beside Mu Zhirui, looked at Shen Wanyu and said.

"Miss Shen also knows medicine?"

While taking Mu Zhirui's pulse, Shen Wanyu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I like to study medicine. But I just learned a little from the master, and I'm still learning."

"The servant girl, can I ask who is Miss Shen's master? I see that Miss Shen's pulse diagnosis method seems to be a little different."

Although Huayi knew that it was Shen Wanyu who was taking the pulse of her own princess, but when she looked closely, her movements seemed to be a little different from the normal pulse diagnosis.That method was very weird, which made her a little curious.

"Miss Huayi also knows medical skills?" Shen Wanyu withdrew her hand and raised her head to look at Huayi.She was not surprised, the Queen Mother of Mu Luguo was not a simple person, so why would she put some useless people around Mu Zhirui.

"Huayi's medical skills are only superficial, and some minor diseases are okay." Huayi said a little embarrassedly, she likes to study medicine but she is not good at it.

"It's pretty good to know a little bit. My master is a ghost doctor. But he is always mysterious and mysterious. I can only study it by myself, or ask my brothers if I don't understand."

Naturally, Shen Wanyu couldn't tell the truth, saying that she came from time travel?Did you know medicine in your previous life?If she really said it, everyone would think she was crazy.But fortunately, in this strange world, she met a fellow countryman, which made her feel very relieved.

"Ghost doctor?"

Huayi's eyes widened, filled with excitement.She never imagined that Miss Shen in front of her was actually the apprentice of that famous ghost doctor, and her medical skills must be amazing.

Shen Wanyu looked at the excited painting and nodded, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.Why is she so excited, is her cheap master so famous?
Hua suggested that Shen Wanyu nodded, and she quickly took out the morning cup from her bosom and handed it to her.

"The princess said that the person that night should have used the poison melted in this cup and fed it to the princess."
