Chapter 116 Find the Right Opportunity and Push It

However, he has only left the palace for a day, how did Jiang Guiren, who is so good-looking, become like this?

Naturally, she couldn't stop the guard who was about to take him away, so she could only hear the maid behind her whisper what had happened: "Jiang Guiren has been serving in Luhua Palace yesterday, but Concubine Shen was poisoned for some reason. Fortunately, it was not serious. The imperial doctor came to induce vomiting and he relieved it. Jiang Guiren is afraid that he has just received a crime from the queen mother."

Did Jiang offend Shen Hanlu?No, she went to Luhua Palace to pay her respects earlier, so why would Shen Hanlu have trouble with her.Besides, what good does it do for her to embarrass Jiang Shi?
Stopping, Shen Guiyan watched Jiang Shi being dragged away, turned around and said, "Let's go to the East Palace."

"Don't." The little maid behind said hastily: "Recently, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace is in a bad mood, and she doesn't even look good when Concubine Shen goes to pay her respects, so you don't want to go, go back and let the imperial physician take a look."

In a bad mood?Empress Dowager Wen is now ready for the wind, the rain for the rain, right?Where is there anything not going well?But she should also be careful with her belly, she glanced at the direction Jiang was going, and Shen Guiyan went back to Xiuzhuang Palace first.

It was right for her not to go to the Eastern Palace. Right now, the Eastern Palace is full of gunpowder, and even standing at the door can be splashed with sparks.

"Since entering the palace, my son has been doing things according to the mother's orders. Why does the mother treat the son like this?" Gu Chaobei stood at the bottom with an extremely painful expression, mixed with a series of complex emotions such as anger and disbelief, vividly lifelike.

The queen mother was a little panicked, looking at the two corpses that were brought up as samples, she frowned and said, "Why does the emperor think it was the work of the Ai family? It's too late for the Ai family to rely on you, how could it be..."

"They are all from the palace, and they are still wearing the clothes of the palace guards." Gu Chaobei closed his eyes in pain: "The route I came back from hunting has never been seen outside, only the people in the palace know. Besides the queen mother, who else has the right to send the imperial guards out of the palace?"

Empress Dowager Wen is silent, it is true that only she has the power, but this time it is obviously not her doing it.This idiot emperor must have been bewitched by others, and he wanted to come and pin the crime on her head.

Who can confuse him?Beside him is Yuwen Changqing, her confidant, the useless concubine Zhuang, and the unfavorable nobleman Yan, who else can persuade him to do such a thing?
The queen mother didn't want to understand, and she didn't even blame Gu Chaobei in her heart.Looking at him like this, he must be being used by someone.

"The Ai family will order people to thoroughly investigate this matter, the emperor can rest assured." Empress Dowager Wen comforted: "The Ai family will not hurt the emperor's life."

"I don't believe it. If the arrow hadn't been blocked by Yan Gui, I would have died on the road." Gu Chaobei looked at the Queen Mother with a childish look, and said cautiously: "I will never believe what the Queen Mother said. That's it!"

What's the matter, Empress Dowager Wen quickly pulled him over: "Yan Gui blocked the arrow for you?"

"Yeah, I didn't like her at first, and I've been treating her badly, but now I feel so guilty." Gu Chaobei said dejectedly: "She's still pregnant, and now she's gassy again. I really don't know why Just do it."

Empress Dowager Wen thought for a while, looked at Gu Chaobei's appearance, and said tentatively: "Otherwise, the Ai family will reward Yan nobleman?"

"Happy with my mother, this case will also be handed over to my mother for investigation. My son is too tired, so go back and rest first." Gu Chaobei said with an unhappy face: "Tomorrow morning, I won't be there, so my mother can go by herself!"

The full temper of a child, the Queen Mother was both angry and funny, she held her forehead and said: "Yuwen, you don't even help to persuade."

Yuwen Changqing said helplessly: "Mrs. Empress Dowager, I have persuaded you. The emperor was indeed frightened a lot, and seeing that they are all from the empress dowager, that's why he got angry with the empress dowager."

"But, it's really not Aijia." Empress Dowager Wen sighed, waved her hands and said, "That's all, just follow him more, this is still a child after all, his hair hasn't even grown yet, just don't really annoy him."

Gu Chaobei is still a child?Yuwen Changqing laughed inwardly, yes, his appearance can really deceive many people.

The emperor was not happy, the empress dowager issued an order to coax her, and all aspects of the palace began to show her hospitality. Shen Guiyan got a concubine first, and she still lived in Xiuzhuang Palace, with good food and clothing.

The emperor did not calm down.

That is, he doesn't like Shen Guiyan, it's okay, and then he stuffed a lot of beauties into the harem.In the end, the emperor still didn't calm down.

If you don't go to the morning court for three days in a row, the previous court will be chaotic.Although it doesn't make much difference whether Gu Chaobei is there or not, anyway, he always listens to Queen Mother Wen's words.But he was really not there, and it was impossible for Empress Dowager Wen to sit on the dragon chair, so the courtiers felt uneasy.

Helpless, the queen mother had to go to see the emperor in person.

Shen Guiyan asked Jiang's whereabouts, and heard that she was locked up in the clan's mansion.It is really unfair to be locked up for so many days without finding out what happened.

"Concubine Shen likes to make troubles when she has nothing to do. You don't care what she does." The Empress Dowager Nian peeled melon seeds on it, humming twice: "If you eat something wrong, you can also rely on others. A good ally, by her own It's really a joke to be imprisoned in the clan mansion."

Jiang shi has the heart to rely on Concubine Shen, but if she comes here suddenly, I'm afraid her thoughts will be completely lost.Shen Guiyan thought for a while, and said, "Can my concubine intercede and let Mrs. Jiang come out?"

The Empress Dowager Nian smiled: "It's a good time, you just go to the Empress Dowager Wen, she will keep her promise."

Now all the methods have been used to make the emperor happy.She asked Jiang to come out, and Empress Dowager Wen naturally would not refuse, after all, Jiang was also favored.

As soon as he said it, Shen Guiyan went to the emperor's bedroom, and the queen mother happened to be a lobbyist, letting the emperor go to court.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager." Shen Guiyan went in to salute, and the Empress Dowager quickly waved her over: "What's the matter, Concubine Yan?"

Shen Guiyan smiled slightly: "This concubine wants to be a guarantor for Mrs. Jiang. A few days ago, Mrs. Jiang was imprisoned in the clan's mansion because of concubine Shen's poisoning. My concubine feels that Mrs. Jiang is not such a vicious person."

The queen mother paused and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor stood by the window, and finally looked back: "I don't like Concubine Shen, but she is good, and brought my Jiang Guiren to the clan mansion again, causing trouble, and I hate it."

Shen Hanlu is also a member of the Empress Dowager, the emperor used to be scrupulous, but now he directly said so.Shen Guiyan looked at the Empress Dowager's expression, she was slightly displeased, but she probably thought that a Shen Concubine was naturally not as important as her relationship with the Emperor, so she said:

"Since the emperor doesn't like it, then just lock her up and go to the cold palace. As for Mrs. Jiang, Concubine Yan will pick her up."

So easy to talk to?Shen Guiyan's heart skipped a beat, and then she knelt down to thank her.

Gu Chaobei snorted, his expression improved a lot, and finally he was willing to turn his head to look at Empress Dowager Wen: "Mother Empress really doesn't intend to kill my son?"

Empress Dowager Wen smiled kindly: "It's too late for the Ai family to hurt you, so how could they kill you? Your Majesty, don't listen to the villain's nonsense, let's go to court with the Ai family."

"Okay." After hesitating for a while, Gu Chaobei agreed, with some reluctance on his face.

This assassination has paved the way for him an excellent step, he can follow it down, and be wary of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will take it for granted.It is also reasonable to gradually stop listening to the Queen Mother and finally confront her.

During these processes, Empress Dowager Wen would not be wary at all, and would not think that he had any plans, but would think that he was angry.

It was a perfect assassination, and only he knew the truth.

When Shen Guiyan went to the clan mansion to pick up nobleman Jiang, she was being taunted by the palace servants who delivered the meal.

"Do you still think our food here is not good enough? Then go back to the palace, come here, do you still have to choose?" The maid rolled her eyes and put the hard steamed buns and dried vegetables in front of her.

Jiang Guiren was so angry that she shed tears, and when she couldn't be reconciled, she heard Shen Guiyan's voice: "Bi Yue, come back to the palace with me."

The maid was startled, she turned her head to look at the luxurious Shen Guiyan, and quickly knelt down to salute.Jiang Biyue was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to realize: "Are you here to pick me up?"

"Yes, I promised you to the Queen Mother. When the guarantee was correct, Concubine Shen had already entered the cold palace." Shen Guiyan smiled and reached out to her: "Go back and eat delicious food, no need to eat steamed buns."

Jiang Biyue looked up at her, feeling a golden light behind Shen Guiyan.

People will especially remember those who saved themselves from difficulties.Shen Guiyan looked at Jiang Shi, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She probably won't hurt herself in the future, so she can rest assured.

Here she was happy, but Shen Hanlu was dumbfounded.

"Send me to the cold palace?" Shen Hanlu said incredulously, "Why?"

"I heard that Concubine Yan went to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to say something. The Empress Dowager directly asked Concubine Yan to pick up Noble Jiang from the clan's residence, and then ordered you to move to the Leng Palace."

Shen Guiyan!Shen Hanlu was so angry that she burst into flames: "I knew it was her! It must be her who let Jiang Shi come to poison me, she just can't see me getting better!"

Qingcai stood beside him and sighed: "Your Majesty has gone to the Leng Palace, and I don't know when she will be able to turn around. The two of Jiang and Yan joined forces to frame her, Your Majesty is really wronged."

Shen Hanlu turned her head to look at her, frowned and said: "If you have the chance, you must go to the emperor to complain for Ben Gong! It was Jiang Biyue who poisoned her, and Ben Gong did not wrong her."

The only thing she ate that day was Qing Huan and Jiang Biyue. Qing Huan was the closest to her and would definitely not harm her, so it could only be Jiang Biyue.

Originally, she thought it would be fine to send Jiang Biyue to the clan's residence, but when Shen Guiyan came back, not only saved Jiang Biyue, but also sent her to the cold palace instead?
How can she be convinced!

"Qing Huan is just a young talent. He hasn't served the emperor since he entered the palace. How can he complain for the empress?" Qing Huan said in a low voice.

Shen Hanlu waved her hands, looked at the things around her being put away, pursed her lips and said, "Go to the Queen Mother, just say you belong to me, first let the Queen Mother make the decision for me, if it doesn't work, I will use my last strength to help you Superior!"
