After Zilan told the truth, Shen Qingyi nodded and said: "I understand. In that case, I will take good care of you outside the palace. I will send a letter to you every month to inform you of the little eunuch's condition."
Zilan thanked her gratefully.
Shen Qingyi walked up to her and lowered his voice in her ear: "Emperor Jiajing once almost died at the hands of a palace maid because he aroused the wrath of the palace maids. It can be seen that although loyalty is the most important thing, it also depends on what kind of master the loyal servant is following.
If there is a great treacherous person who regards human life as a trivial matter, if a loyal servant is foolish and loyal, he will become the aide of a tiger."
Zilan was startled.
"Your Highness the Princess means..."
Shen Qingyi laughed and said, "It's just a joke. Aunt Zilan doesn't need to take it to heart."
Then he left.
Zilan was thoughtful.
While she was thinking, a eunuch suddenly walked up to her silently and said, "Aunt Zilan."
Zi Lan came back to her senses and said: "It turns out to be Eunuch Liu who is with the imperial concubine. What's important?"
When she was in the palace in her previous life, Zilan was her personal maid. She was an extremely affectionate and loyal person, and she hated Concubine Su because of the little eunuch.
Eunuch Liu shook the fly whisk and said, "Just now, when the prince saw you having a heated fight with Princess Kanghe, he wanted to ask something. I wonder if Aunt Zilan is free?"
Shen Lin's words were sonorous, and every sentence hit the point. Feng Si was also speechless. Just when he was about to argue with Taifu Shen angrily, the King of Shu, Zhao Xu, opened his mouth and said: "What the teacher said makes sense. Feng Si, why don't you lead the people to retreat?"
But the moment the thought crossed her mind, she quickly gave it up.
After all, Grand Tutor Shen Lin was the teacher of the princesses and princes, and as the Duke of Wenjiang County, the two kings of Shu did not dare to break in even if they had a noble concubine. Therefore, after hearing the news, he went to the door to greet the king of Shu.
Then he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu and Mr. Feng are free in the middle of the night, but we do have good tea in the Shen Mansion. If this is some kind of little eunuch hiding something secretly, I have never seen it before.
"
The masked woman pushed the maid away, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Why, is it possible that His Highness, King of Shu, does not even recognize my voice? In that case, it is hard for His Highness Feng Chun to recognize me."
She said and went to pick off the bamboo hat.
When Feng Si heard these strange words, he became very angry. He stepped forward and couldn't help but said: "Stop talking nonsense! You usually don't hide your face when watching a show in a restaurant, but now I see His Highness the King of Shu hiding his ears like this."
From your face, you can see that there is something wrong in your mind! I don’t know that the real Princess Kanghe is really under the veil and not someone else pretending to be?!"
Suddenly I heard a clear female voice saying: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu's words really offended my father. Not to mention that Ayao has never gone out today. Even if she did, why should I save the eunuch of Lao Shizi?"
Shen Qingyi was slightly startled.
Hearing this voice, Zhao Xu couldn't help being surprised. He subconsciously looked up, but he didn't see Shen Qingyi. He only saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat, covering her entire face, supported by two maids.
Came out from the house.
Feng Si deliberately moved out the concubine because he expected that Taifu Shen would not dare to disobey Concubine Su, but Taifu Shen had no fear. Instead, he said: "Not to mention that all the princes and princesses were taught by me in the past. Even the concubine and the empress, in our family
Erlang and Sanniang were also recognized by His Majesty and His Majesty as the princess. Nephew Feng Xian had never been ennobled, and his status was far below them. Could it be possible that His Highness the King of Shu wanted to do this before the matter came to light?
Cut it first and then tell it, isn’t it possible to take this hat off by force?!”
With Zhao Xu's thoughts and abilities, he might have become suspicious after seeing her secret conversation with Zilan today, and used today's incident to take the opportunity to drive a wedge between the two of them.
That night, Shen Qingyi sent Qigu to the address mentioned by Zilan, and found a young eunuch with a broken leg.
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "It's just a routine investigation. After all, the person was sent out from the mother's room. I am just worried that the teacher will be implicated in this matter. Naturally, I have to inquire carefully, otherwise it will be old things afterwards." If you turn it out and implicate the teacher, then I will be deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors."
She said in a provocative voice: "I think if I hadn't walked arrogantly on the street and shouted loudly that I was going to pick up an eunuch who was kicked out of the palace for stealing, the Fourth Young Master Feng and the prince would not have suspected me so late at night. It’s on top of the Shen family.”
Unexpectedly, just after the little eunuch was settled, before Qigu could turn back, he suddenly saw a bunch of torches, and the King of Shu and Feng Si came with their soldiers and surrounded the entire Shen Mansion.
Could it be that Zi Lan betrayed her today?
Shen Qingyi didn't know about this. She was writing big characters with her head down when Liu Ying suddenly came in a hurry and said urgently: "Miss, it's not good. The King of Shu and the Fourth Young Master Feng brought Concubine Su's message and said that there is a palace maid named San. The girl was acting sneaky in the palace today, and she secretly contacted the young eunuch who was kicked out of the palace for stealing. I am afraid that she has some plot to search the palace!"
The woman chuckled lightly and said: "Fourth Young Master Feng is so aggressive, Xiang must have really grasped the truth. That's fine! But Fourth Young Master Feng must not regret it."
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyi had an idea.
She called Qing Luo and Liu Ying, and after muttering with them here and there, the two maids understood and helped prepare.
Qi Gu secretly complained, so he wrote a letter and sent it somewhere.
Zhao Xu had already spoken, but Feng Si did not dare to say any more. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he could only shut up and retreat with his soldiers.
When she was still Princess Liang, it was because of Zilan's help that she was able to successfully overthrow Concubine Su and her son and help Zhao Xian ascend to the throne.
Feng Si sneered and said: "Master Taifu, don't talk so much nonsense. Now that the imperial concubine's decree has been issued, could it be that the imperial concubine thinks that His Highness the King of Shu and the imperial concubine are joking with the imperial concubine?"
So today the King of Shu brought Feng Si here, it must be that the two of them were angry with her and took the opportunity to use this matter to cause trouble.
When Qi Gu found him, his body was covered with old and new wounds, making him almost unrecognizable.
On the other side, Taifu Shen was dealing with the two kings of Shu.
Zilan said calmly: "What a coincidence, I am about to report this matter to the imperial concubine. Please ask Eunuch Liu to lead the way."
…
Zhao Xu had suffered the loss of Shen Qingyi pretending to be Zhou Mengfu. When he saw the woman dressed like this, he became suspicious and said, "You are..."
The two maids quickly said worriedly: "Miss, you can't..."
But it was too late for the two to stop them.
The bamboo hat was pulled off by Shen Qingyi without hesitation, revealing his true appearance.
When he saw Shen Qingyi's face, Zhao Xu was suddenly startled, took a step back in fright, and said, "What... what is going on?"
