Chapter 552
Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu stopped talking. At this moment, no one wanted to tell her the fact personally, even if she had heard it now.
Shen Shu just heard them talking and knew in her heart that if they wanted to cancel this meeting, there must be their own reasons. It was just because the matter was exposed, so they could only stop meeting for the time being. In this way There won't be so many things to worry about anymore.
In addition, Danhong is coming to the capital recently and they want to negotiate the border issue with the Celestial Empire. Now Wei Shen and his people are struggling to support it in the northern border.
The northern border is severely cold and difficult, and it is difficult for the soldiers who went to the Central Plains to adapt to the environment there. The original garrison in the northern border has long been depleted, and the soldiers cannot adapt to the environment there. In addition, there have been too many things this year, and the Chinese Empire has been hit repeatedly. There is not enough food and grass, and it is really difficult for them to fight in the north now.
But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and Hu Ma is not taught to cross the Yin Mountains.
All loyal and righteous people have been like this since ancient times.
But the Celestial Empire could not bear the pain of abandoning them to defend the Northern Territory. Besides, even if the Celestial Empire abandoned Wei Shen, Zhao Zhao and other generals, if they could defend the Northern Territory and the Western Territory, it would be considered a worthy death, but if it was meaningless at all, then so Wasted effort.
Danhong is indeed a suitable candidate for cooperation. The emperor has always intended to include Danhong as a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. However, Danhong is unwilling to do so. He is only willing to exchange interests with the Chinese Dynasty. Danhong defends the northern territory of the Chinese Dynasty from foreign enemies and defends the Northern Territory. Then he exchanged the food supplies to Danhong.
Such simple trade is not impossible, but this year it is difficult for the Celestial Empire to pay so much supplies, so Danxi retreated hundreds of miles away and watched helplessly as Wei Shen led the soldiers to charge into the battle. Such a stand-by let the Celestial Empire know , Danxi is just an excellent collaborator, not a friendly neighbor.
Now, relying on Shen Shu's relationship, Danlong is willing to come to the capital to attend the state banquet, and by the way, he will continue to discuss future cooperation with the new emperor Qi Jingqin.
This matter is understandable. Danhong wants supplies and food, and China wants someone to guard the northern border for them. Such a mutual transaction relationship is clean and clear, and is indeed much better than ordinary neighboring countries.
But this year, China is facing internal and external troubles, and it is true that it does not have the strength to continue cooperating with Danhong as before.
Are we going to let Wei Shen and the soldiers and people of the Celestial Dynasty suffer in the north?
This is not what they should do. As a big country, the people in the north are also their people, and they have the obligation to protect them.
Therefore, we must negotiate good terms with Danhong. This will be mutually beneficial to the Danhong Dynasty, and if the negotiation is successful, it will also be beneficial to Shen Shu.
But if the affair between Shen Shu and Ji Ziqi is discovered, then Qi Jingqin and the court officials will definitely seize this opportunity to punish Shen Shu. Shen Shu violated the duty of a concubine and should be punished.
At that time, in order to keep Shen Shu, Danlong must make some sacrifices, and the Chinese Empire will definitely use this opportunity to squeeze Danlong.
With such a handle, Shen Shu and Dan Xi will be firmly devoured by the Celestial Empire.
If this is the case, people all over the world will also condemn the actions of Shen Shu and Ji Ziqi. At that time, Qi Jingqin can't wait to make the matter bigger, so that the losses to the empire can be minimized.
Taking this into consideration, Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu chose to cancel this meeting.
This was an accident. Who would have thought that what they said that day would be heard by Su Shangqing? Now that Liu Erxin had tipped off, it seemed that she was confident that she could bring down Liang Huanqing this time.
As a mother, they couldn't imagine what Su Shangqing would do for the future prosperity and wealth of the child in her belly. But if she wanted to seek the welfare of the child in her belly, she would definitely hurt Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu. .
When the time comes, let alone the Liang family and Liang Huanqing who will be implicated, even Shen Shu and Ji Ziqi will be punished.
They don't want to see this.
Qi Wangshu said with a troubled face: "Mother Concubine Shen, the days are still long in the future. Danlong will enter the palace soon. Everyone is thinking about how to negotiate terms with Danlong and help the Celestial Empire to survive." Pass this level. Although I am a princess of the Celestial Dynasty, I don’t want to die because... because Concubine Shen has been implicated in some ways. They are also born to their parents, and they also have to go to the battlefield to charge into battle. We are just Just provide some supplies and food in exchange for peace. If your matter is exposed before this, I don’t know how many people will be affected."
Liang Huanqing also said with a sad face: "If you have any questions, please tell Ji Ziqi later. Ji Ziqi may be on his way to the palace now. We can't stop them from coming, but Concubine Shen, you can't If we stay here for a long time, if Su Shangqing comes with the emperor, we will get both the stolen goods and none of us can escape."
Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing talked sincerely, but Shen Shu still looked hesitant. She was confused at the moment. She had been looking forward to meeting for so long, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen. It was really disappointing. People are disappointed.
Jingyin stood aside and asked in a low voice: "Empress, Princess Wangshu... is there no other way? Princess Taifei has been full of expectations since she learned the news the day before yesterday. She couldn't sleep for a long time. Today is another big day. I got up early to take a shower and change clothes just because I wanted to see Lord Ji Ziqi, but now I refuse to let him see me, it’s really..."
Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu looked at Shen Shu and saw that she was dressed in gorgeous clothes. It seemed that she had been carefully dressed up, but what could they do?
Now that Liang Ji and Ji Ziqi are coming to the palace, they have no way to tell them to go back quickly. As soon as they enter the palace, Su Shangqing will receive the news, and then he will go to Qinzheng Hall to find Qi Jingqin and tell Qi Jingqin this matter.
If Qi Jingqin knew about this, he would definitely come to Qianning Palace to see it. If Shen Shu was not there at Wanshou Palace, they would turn Qianning Palace upside down. As long as they have this suspicion, they will definitely investigate to the end. , as long as they find the slightest clue by then, none of them will have an easy time.
Liang Huanqing also felt sorry for Shen Shu's efforts to achieve nothing, but this was something he had to do. If Shen Shu was here and others found out, it would be difficult for people not to think about it.
Now Ji Ziqi will definitely appear in Qianning Palace, and Shen Shu will definitely not appear here. When the emperor comes, Liang Huanqing still doesn't know what excuse to use to explain why Ji Ziqi came to the harem. Such a dilemma, teach How did Liang Huanqing arrange a meeting between Shen Shu and Ji Ziqi?
Yuebai couldn't stand it at this time. The matter with Concubine Shen was a hot potato. It was reasonable for the Empress not to help them. This kind of thing was against the general ethics. The Empress was risking her life by helping them. With the risk of beheading, why do they think the Queen is still responsible for something that happens?
Yuebai couldn't help but said: "This is not what the Empress wanted. If you really want to meet smoothly, why not ask Concubine Shu? Our Empress has tried her best, why should we blame the Empress?" No help..."
"Yue Bai!" Liang Huanqing interrupted Yue Bai, not as a scold, but to save face for them: "You are so outrageous!"
Yuebai curled her lips in grievance, then stood behind them with her head lowered, not daring to speak.
Liang Huanqing looked at Shen Shu with an apologetic look and said, "Yuebai made an unintentional mistake. I hope the concubine will forgive me."
Although Yue Bai hadn't finished speaking, they had already heard a rough idea. Shen Shu looked at them apologetically and said, "It's my fault. You should listen to the Queen."
Liang Huanqing also looked apologetic and stepped forward to hold her hand and said softly: "My dear, the days are long and we don't have to rush for the present."
Shen Shu looked up at Liang Huanqing, with tears in her eyes and a red nose, and said, "Then please remember to give him a few words for me."
Liang Huanqing nodded and said, "Please tell me, we will definitely bring you."
Shen Shu took out the silver butterfly Huasheng stuck in her bun. There were a few small tassels at the end of the dish. She handed it to Liang Huanqing and said: "The day I met him , I am also dressed the same as today.”
Liang Huanqing looked up and down. She had a bun with a bun exposing her temples. Her brows were lightly swept and her eyes were full of spring. Her skin was as smooth as warm jade and as soft as greasy. Her small cherry mouth was red and delicate, and her two strands of hair beside her cheeks were blowing gently in the wind.

The light green robes complement each other, which is really beautiful. The floor-length white plum blossom skirt with plum blossoms is covered with moon satin embroidered with magnolia and flying butterflies. The inner lining is light pink brocade wrapped around the chest, and the cuffs are embroidered with exquisite hollow silver butterflies. There are several layers of lace on the front of the dress, a layer of silk yarn as thin as mist on the skirt, and a dark purple belt around the waist. It looks noble and slim, and the air is like orchid. Lying quietly in front of the neck is a woman. A gold-wire psychic gem adds an air of elegance. A pair of silver butterfly earrings hangs next to the ears, and a slender silver hairpin with a hollow silver butterfly on it is used to hold the black hair and tie it into a delicate willow. The leaf hairpin is pinned with a purple magnolia, which makes it look fresh, beautiful and elegant. The eyebrows are light, the cherry lips are not stained but red, and the whole body exudes the sweet fragrance of orchids, which is delicate yet charming, exuding the aristocratic air. The breath is so beautiful that it cannot be tasted in the world. The spring water in my sleep is like gelatin on my face. I am wearing a plain plum blossom skirt that sweeps the floor.

In the painting, a pair of gazing eyes are clear in black and white, exuding an intoxicating charm. Half of the long black flowing hair is tied up with a wide pearl white ribbon, and the other half is casually scattered, but it exudes a fairy-like temperament.
She has long hair that reaches her waist, and wears a white and pink intarsia beaded hair chain on her forehead and temples. Occasionally, one or two disobedient beads hang down, which actually adds to the beauty that is both real and illusory.
The milky white jade bracelet on the wrist, the warm mutton-fat white jade exudes a silent brilliance, complementing the plain outfit. There is a slender silver necklace around the neck, with a faint purple luster.
Although a closer look revealed that it was just a purple crystal, it complemented the plain but charming outfit perfectly.
The coat is made of thin, white gauze, which vividly reveals the graceful figure. The waist-length hair is blown all over the sky by the wind, and a few strands of hair fly playfully in front of the face, making it even more elegant and natural.
There is no decoration, just a light blue ribbon, gently tying a strand of hair. With a slight smile, the pear vortex appears, the hands are like catkins, the skin is like gelatin, the collar is like a cricket grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, and the head is like a rhinoceros.

You don't know this, but if you look closely, you can see that he has the kind of courage that makes people fall in love with him at first sight.
With tears in Shen Shu's eyes, she said: "Although it was just a quick glance, it has already been engraved in my heart. I hope he can know my thoughts and don't miss it."
Liang Huanqing took the Flying Butterfly Husband Silver Broken Flower Huasheng from her hand, looked at Shen Shu and said, "Don't worry, Princess Dowager, I will bring it for you."
