The Queen Mother was clearly instigated by Concubine Pei, but she wanted to use this golden crossbow as an excuse!
In this way, I have nothing to say even to beg for mercy.
Two rude palace maids had already come forward to snatch away her golden crossbow, and tore off her cotton clothes arbitrarily. One palace maid pinched her thigh hard. Shen Han burst into tears of pain, but she also She could only grit her teeth and hold back. The palace maid seemed to be unwilling to forgive her hatred. She took advantage of the chaos and pinched her hard several times. When she turned around, Shen Huan heard her coldly snort: "Who told you to offend Concubine Pei!"
Concubine Pei! Concubine Pei again!
Shen Huan clenched her fists and shivered in her single clothes.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the two eunuchs stepped forward and grabbed Shen Huan's arms and left. Shen Huan had no strength on her feet and could only let them drag her.
Seeing her embarrassed look, the Queen Mother sneered triumphantly. Then she glanced at her eyes and was shocked: the deep hatred in her eyes passed through the sandalwood-scented Nuange and pierced straight into her heart. I couldn't even help but shudder
Such vicious eyes!
Not only did the Queen Mother have some regrets, but if the Emperor knew that she had treated Shen Huan like this tomorrow, and with the Emperor's temper, would he have a grudge against her?
However, no matter what, he is the biological mother of the emperor. Would he really waste his filial piety for the daughter of a criminal minister?
impossible
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother relaxed and felt that if Shen Huan could really be removed this time, it would be a good thing for the emperor and the entire harem!
After the fuss for a long time, the Queen Mother felt a little embarrassed. She asked about the time and what the Emperor was doing. The little eunuch who went to inquire came back and told the Emperor that he was still reading the book. I was afraid that he would not have time to ask about Shen Huan's situation tonight. Got it
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Let's rest then!"
Shen Huan had just been taken away, and Concubine Pei returned to her palace, but she did not dare to take it lightly. When the personal maid Shijian came back after inquiring about the news, she found out that Shen Huan had been imprisoned in Siguo Hall, and then she felt relieved.
Concubine Pei said with a satisfied smile: "The Siguo Hall is empty, there is nothing in it, just take off your clothes like this, ha! After this night, even if you don't die, I'm afraid you won't have many days left to live!"
Shi Jian helped: "What's more, her body has just recovered, and she catches a cold again..."
Concubine Pei laughed heartily. At this time, another confidant maid hurriedly walked in, said something close to Concubine Pei's ear, and handed over a crumpled paper ball. Concubine Pei took it and opened it. There is a sentence written in small characters on the head: "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of burning candles."
Concubine Pei was startled after reading this. She put the paper ball into a charcoal basin and burned it. The swordsman asked, "Does that person have any clever tricks?"
Concubine Pei watched the flames in the charcoal basin surge up fiercely, swallowing up the paper ball completely, and said with an enigmatic smile: "It seems that you have to be careful when you think about it tonight."
At this time, Shen Huan had been brought to the Si Guo Hall, where she could not see her fingers. After a while, she slowly adapted to the darkness. The weak starlight projected through the skylight on the top to the ground, and there was a light as big as a palm. , she stood in the bright light, looking up at the sky, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
At least, you can still see a few stars
The temperature of her body was getting lower and lower, and she was so cold that her hands and feet were completely numb.
Secretly adjust your inner breath, try to stand up straight, and tell yourself over and over again not to fall down
There is only one belief in my heart: I don’t want to die! My life, Shen Huan, shouldn’t be cut off. If I didn’t die when I was fourteen, there’s no way I could take my life when I was fifteen!
Too many members of the Shen family have died in your Chu family. Even if I, Shen Huan, die, I will not die in your hands!
Suddenly there was a choking feeling from fireworks entering her throat. Under the starlight, she actually saw the billowing smoke.
Siguotang is not a Buddhist temple, so how can there be firelight?
Shen Huan bent down and coughed. Only one thought flashed through his mind: Someone is going to burn him to death!
And this person is either the Queen Mother or Concubine Pei!
She rushed to the door and beat hard, she didn't want to die!
"Ah Hu!" In the darkness, someone called her name in a panicked and urgent voice.
No matter who it is, as long as he can save her
She slapped the door and said: "Help me, help me quickly!"
"Ah Huan, get out of the way and I'll kick the door open!" Shen Huan recognized Xia Wenze's voice.
She stepped aside as she was told, and then she heard the sound of the heavy wooden door falling to the ground, and then a figure rushed in. Shen Han couldn't care anymore, threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
Xia Wenze was startled, but he quickly hugged her and escaped from Siguiotang. Only then did he realize that she was only wearing single clothes, and her cold skin that was within reach was trembling slightly under his hot palm.
He is not on duty tonight, so he has time to protect her
He took off his robe and wrapped it around her, and she kept holding on to the front. Xia Wenze sighed secretly and still held her in his arms. For a while, listening to the palace people over there calling for fire, Shen Huan slowly Stopped shaking
After hesitating for a while, Shen Huan left his arms, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xia Wenze coughed lightly and said, "Can I take you back first?"
Shen Huan did not answer, but asked: "Why are you here?"
Xia Wenze said: "I saw it on the way..." His face suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said: "I almost forgot, I have someone tied up there!"
