In October, news came that the emperor of the Western Kingdom had passed away, and the eldest prince of the Western Kingdom ascended the throne in front of his body.
The new leader of the Western Kingdom, Ye Cangqiong, is twenty-two years old. He is the twin brother of Ye Canghao. However, the two brothers have very different personalities. Ye Cangqiong has loved power since he was a child and is good at running camps. He has raised a group of dead men under his command. Others perish!
Ye Canghao, on the other hand, was obsessed with martial arts. Although he was very powerful in martial arts, his mind was like a naughty boy. When the old king was still alive, he loved his younger son but had no intention of making him the crown prince because he also knew that his son was only suitable for him. Being an idle prince is not suitable for being a monarch who controls the destiny of the country.
Thinking of Ye Canghao, who was a bit glib but looked like a big child, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Shen Huan's mouth involuntarily.
But Chu Xichen showed a melancholy look. He put down the memorial he presented, frowned and said, "Ye Cangqiong is much more difficult to deal with than his father."
Shen Huan recovered her thoughts, looked at him slowly, smiled and said: "It seems that when General Pei was so eager to kill the leader of the Western Kingdom, it only caused His Majesty to confront a powerful opponent early?"
Chu Xichen smiled distressedly and said, "Huanheng, can't you stop teasing me like this? Besides, General Pei is dead. Even if the Western Kingdom takes the opportunity to cause trouble, I don't have a murderer to hand over!"
Shen Huan's heart moved slightly. In fact, she knew that the person who shot the arrow was her brother. If the other party also knew and General Pei died, would it be... that they would direct all their anger on their brother?
"Let me tell you! Even if they attack, aren't we afraid of them? What's so great about the new king? Isn't he just a group of dead warriors under his command who are said to be very powerful in martial arts! A dignified king specializes in doing these things When it comes to sneaking around, I don't think he's a capable person!" Shen Huan said disdainfully.
Chu Xichen looked at her and smiled, without comment.
Shen Huan ignored it. In the past half month, there was no movement from the Queen Mother and Yao Ronghua, and she did not do anything. Chen Ronghua's fetus was also doing well. Shen Huan probably understood that the Queen Mother would not want anything to happen to the dragon fetus. After all, it was Chu Xichen, the royal heir, has always been very weak when it comes to heirs. This time, a concubine with a low status is pregnant with a child. Naturally, the Queen Mother will not harm her.
However, the Queen Mother will not harm the dragon fetus, but she may not let Shen Huan go.
Therefore, in the past half month, Shen Huan did not show any dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother because she executed those former members of the Shen family. On the second day after she returned to the palace, when she paid her respects to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother also deliberately I feel sorry for her, but all she showed was a slightly aggrieved weakness
Yes, she is showing weakness to the Queen Mother. She is not yet sure of hitting the target with one hit, so she can eliminate the Queen Mother quickly!
But she will not give up, she will wait, and when she gets the opportunity, she will make this hateful old woman pay for all her sins!
"I heard that your mother has asked you to go to Shou'an Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures these days?" Chu Xichen seemed to ask casually, but his eyes were fixed on Shen Huan.
What? Are you testing her? Could it be that he is worried that his mother is still making things difficult for her?
Shen Huan smiled and said: "Yes, the Queen Mother has always worshiped Buddha. I lived in Yuhua Temple for a few days. I think I have the wisdom to serve in front of the Queen Mother and let the Queen Mother get closer to my concubines. Not a bad idea”
She didn't feel any grievance at all. She never mentioned that no one was allowed to be close to her when she was copying Buddhist scriptures. She had to grind and lay the paper herself. Shou'an Palace was in disrepair. If there was no air conditioning in this weather, she would stand alone in the empty side hall. Here, it's really a bit cold
Shen Huan lightly covered her mouth and nose and coughed twice. Chu Xichen glanced at her and said, "If my mother is in trouble for you, don't hold back, just speak out."
Shen Huan smiled faintly and said: "How could it be? The queen mother did not embarrass the concubine. The emperor is overly worried."
Chu Xichen's face remained expressionless, and after a while he said: "That's good."
After chatting for a while, Chu Xichen said: "Next month is Huan Huan's birthday. I really want to give Huan Huan a good birthday. What do you think of Huan Huan?"
Shen Wen was stunned and murmured: "Is it my birthday again?"
Chu Xichen laughed softly, held her hand and said: "Yes, it's Huan's sixteenth birthday. I didn't have a good birthday in the past two years. I want to make it up to you this time, and I will definitely do it for you. The grandest and liveliest birthday party! I want to grant amnesty to the whole world and pray for you!"
It seems that Chu Xichen has made up his mind. Shen Huan will not go against his will again, so he can only smile and say: "The emperor alone makes the decision."
Chu Xichen nodded with satisfaction, but Shen Huan remembered the past two birthdays. At the age of fourteen, she lost her family; at the age of fifteen, she was imprisoned as a bed slave... Do you think that you can make up for it after the incident? Everything? No, no!
What happened happened, and no one can treat it as if it never happened!
You can't forget it, and I won't forget it either!
Chu Xichen quickly gave instructions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he spent a month preparing to celebrate the queen's birthday. At the same time, he also announced the news to the world, so that several princes who were far away in the fiefdom came back to attend the banquet, and also invited Yuhua The eminent monks from the temple came to the palace to chant sutras and pray for blessings.
The Queen Mother was a little unhappy when she found out, and said to Yao Ronghua in private: "It's really useless to raise a child. How can he think of me as an old woman now? He only remembers the witch. Fortunately, the witch is not pregnant, otherwise she would not be able to be praised to heaven!" Although Chen Ronghua now has a dragon fetus, Siying, that is a last resort. It is best for you to get the emperor's favor and give birth to a child of your own."
Yao Ronghua's face turned red slightly, and then she said: "Siying will work hard."
The Queen Mother sighed, patted her hand, and said: "I will use your method to find out the inside information that Shen Yuan left in the palace. Humph! I don't know if that witch Shen Huan was unaware of it. In short, she didn't dare to She made any resistance and still obeyed the Ai family, haha. It seems that this trick is really effective, so that she can understand who is the real master in this harem!"
Yao Ronghua was silent, and the Queen Mother was happy. She couldn't say it clearly, but based on her understanding of the Queen, how could Shen Huan not take action? Is there really no way for her? Or is she brewing some conspiracy? She is now facing The more the Queen Mother surrendered, the more Yao Ronghua worried that Shen Huan was not a good person. If she showed a low profile towards the Queen Mother on the surface, but secretly was planning... It seemed that she had to brace herself up to fight!
However, Shen Huan has not doubted herself yet. He has always been careful and will not be caught by her! He must use her trust to achieve his ultimate goal!
