The Queen Mother took a closer look and was immediately shocked: "You... aren't you Ah Huan?"
Shen Huan gently wiped the water droplets on her hands, and the splashed area turned red. She replied without being humble or overbearing: "Yes, Queen Mother."
"Why are you here?" the Queen Mother asked in surprise.
Shen Huan raised a slight smile and said: "The Queen Mother does not know that the whole Shen family was executed? This slave is here to atone for her sins as the daughter of the guilty minister."
The Queen Mother naturally knew about the Shen family, but she was just surprised that her son was so confused that he kept a woman full of hatred by his side?
Concubine Qing said with a smile: "She is really the prime minister's daughter in the past! I thought I saw it wrong!" Then she said to Xia Zhaoyi: "Sister Wen Wan, come and see, this is the number one beauty in our northern country in the past! Hahahaha..." She covered her mouth with her sleeves and laughed unbridled
Xia Zhaoyi only glanced at Shen Huan and lowered her head without saying a word.
Concubine Qing suddenly felt bored and stood beside the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother coughed lightly and asked Shen Huan: "It must be the emperor's intention to let you serve tea here? The Aijia asked you, do you have any resentment towards the royal family?"
Shen Huan lowered his eyes and whispered softly with his red lips: "I hated it."
"Oh, Queen Mother, is that okay? Why don't you drag her out quickly and beat her to death with sticks!" Concubine Qing was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
The Queen Mother glanced sideways at her, and Concubine Qing paused, but still said unwillingly: "The Queen Mother doesn't know something. This cheap maid wanted to assassinate the Emperor last night! How can we tolerate such traitors?"
The Queen Mother was shocked: "Is this really true?"
Shen Huan sneered in her heart, Concubine Qing had indeed planted an insider in Shangyang Palace! What a concubine Qing, you dare to do anything even around the emperor, what do you want!
"Queen Mother," Shen Huan knelt down with a sad tone, "I said that I hated you, but this hatred has passed. This hatred... has disappeared with the confusion of yesterday! Your Majesty is kind and compassionate, and allowed me to leave this body to serve the royal family. I am grateful to you. Due to the kindness of the Emperor and the kindness of the Queen Mother, I will never have any other thoughts. I am willing to be a slave of the Royal Family for the rest of my life! Please do it, the Queen Mother!" After saying this, she kowtowed three more times.
The Queen Mother was stunned. Shen Huan back then was a prime minister's daughter and was deeply loved by the late emperor and all the princes and princes. Let alone kowtow, even if she knelt down, she would probably be hard to see.
I recalled that when I was still a concubine, one day I went to the late emperor's palace and saw the two playing chess. The eunuch on the side accidentally splashed tea on the back of Shen Huan's hand. Shen Huan frowned lightly. The late emperor noticed and ordered him to die immediately. The eunuch looked coldly at the woman who had just been scalded by boiling water, but she didn't say a word.
He saw her kowtow three times to him respectfully, and her unhappiness was replaced by pity, but she still didn't dare to believe it, so she just asked: "Did you hurt the emperor?"
Shen Huan didn't know how to answer for a moment. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the dressing maid beside her who was about to move, bit her teeth, and was about to confess. However, when she heard that the emperor had returned to the palace, the queen mother had no time to take care of her, so she stood up and went out. Then she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
The maid who was changing clothes took advantage of the situation and walked up to Shen Huan and said, "Don't think you can escape. I'll tell the Queen Mother later!" After saying that, she walked out triumphantly.
Shen Huan sneered and thought: How long do you think you can live?
The Emperor accompanied the Queen Mother and came in again. I don't know what he said outside. The Queen Mother had a look of helplessness and said: "Well, since you insist on keeping her here, it's up to you! The Ai family is old and doesn't want to go against you. It's just that you can forgive her, but you can't forgive your brother-in-law?"
Princess Zhenyin, the emperor's sister, married Shen Lan, the second brother of Shen Huan. Due to the incident involving the Shen family, she and Shen Lan were placed under house arrest. She wrote to the Queen Mother that she would not release Shen Lan for one day and not enter the palace to see her.
Xichen remained silent, and the Queen Mother said angrily: "You... ugh! Go back to the palace!"
As soon as the Empress Dowager and others left, Xichen immediately helped Shen Huan up and saw blisters on the back of her delicate hands. She felt heartbroken. While asking someone to get the burn medicine, she put it to her lips and breathed carefully, saying softly: "Let's go." "Huanhan has been wronged. It's cold, so don't get frostbite."
With tears in her eyes, Shen Huan whispered: "Fortunately, you came back early. They asked me about your injury..."
Xichen was shocked and asked, "How did they know?"
Shen Huan took out her hand: "The palace maid who changed your clothes today..."
Xichen winked at Eunuch An. Eunuch An agreed and walked out quietly.
Xichen held Shen Huan in her arms. Shen Huan finally felt relieved and said to the shadow of the palace maid in his heart: "Don't blame me. If you don't die, I won't be able to live well. I haven't avenged my great revenge, but I can't do it because of it." Die for you!
He sighed and said, "Today is really strange. Why did the Queen Mother come to Shangyang Palace at this time?"
Xichen sneered and said: "What else can be done? It must be Concubine Qing's stupid thing! If she instigates it, the Queen Mother is a soft-hearted person."
Shen Huan raised his hand to look at the injury and lowered his eyebrows: "Strange way..."
Xichen said distressedly and resolutely: "Don't worry, Huanwen, I won't let you suffer your grievances in vain!"
Shen Huan pursed her lips: "It's okay to arrive, but how does Concubine Qing know I'm here?"
Xichen looked around with cold eyes and said: "She must have an informant!"
Shen Wen sighed again and leaned softly on the emperor's chest. Well, what she wanted to say was induced by him to say it himself. There is nothing better than this. The emperor was suspicious, and what he said himself would never be the same. Doubtful
