Yuhuan ran in from outside: "Princess, the officer from the Ministry of Justice said that we should move out of the palace before dark. The prince has not returned to the palace, what should we do?"
Judging from the princess's appearance, Cui Huan must have found it difficult to accept this matter, so she had to make arrangements first: "Hongluo and Biluo, pack the princess's clothes into boxes; Aunt Zhang and Aunt Yuan, pack all the ornaments and toys in the house. Pack it up so that the boy can move the furniture later. Chunhua and Qiuyue are responsible for packing bedding and makeup...
Yuhuan, let’s go to the warehouse and move out the princess’s dowry.”
Although Yuhuan usually likes to be the best, she doesn't know what to do now, so she has to do what Cuihuan said.
Shen Bichi was sitting there blankly, but when she saw a room full of maids and women starting to move things, she came to her senses and said, "Stop it, my princess!"
When the maids and wives heard their master's words, they stopped and looked at the princess blankly.
"I am Princess Li. Who dares to drive me out of Princess Li? Who dares!?" Shen Bichi looked like a beast that had been stabbed in a sore spot, her eyes filled with bloodthirsty madness. Why is God so unfair? She spent the rest of her life How could the happiness in the identity of Princess Li be just a flash in the pan?
No one in the room dared to say a word, who dared? Of course the emperor dared!
Cui Huan quickly closed the door and comforted in a low voice: "Princess, my wife, I can't say it. The officers of the Ministry of Punishment sealed the palace on the order of the emperor."
Now he is just demoted to a commoner. If he is accused of "resisting the imperial decree" by someone who is interested, he may even lose his life.
Shen Bichi also woke up a little and said calmly: "Cui Huan, hurry up and find your aunt in the palace. I don't want to be demoted to a commoner... I don't want..."
"Yes." Cui Huan took the concubine's waistband from the box and hurried to the palace.
Although Concubine Shen now has much fewer eyes, she still knew about such a major event as Prince Li being deposed at the first opportunity.
At this time, she didn't care about taking Qiao, and drove Jian to Prince Yun's Mansion. Concubine Shen believed that at this time, no one except the traitor could reverse the matter.
Concubine Shen returned to the palace, sat down in Jia'an Hall with her arms in hand, and said to Housekeeper Zhou: "Ask Chen'er to come and see me."
Although the concubine has not returned to her home for a long time, when she comes back, she is still looking for trouble as always: "Reporting to the concubine, the prince and the princess went out of the city. When they left, they didn't say where they were going or when they would be back..."
Housekeeper Zhou deliberately said it perfectly. Concubine Shen of the province would soon see the princess or send someone to find the prince. Anyway, he didn't know anything about it.
"When did Chen'er go out?" Concubine Shen's eyes darkened slightly, thinking that the traitor had deliberately hidden away after seeing something going on in Prince Li's Mansion.
"The prince and the princess went to the Duke of Jing's Mansion yesterday morning and never came back. They probably left the city in the afternoon," Butler Zhou replied.
Concubine Shen rubbed her forehead. She couldn't tell for a moment whether the traitor was hiding away on purpose or just happened to be absent: "If you ask the secret guard to deliver a message, just say that I have something urgent to do to see him."
"The old slave can find the secret guard to pass the message, but I don't know when he will find the prince..." Butler Zhou's meaning is very clear - the words can be passed on, but whether the prince can pay attention to it is unknown.
As the steward of Prince Yun's Mansion, Steward Zhou heard that Prince Li had done something bad this morning. Thinking with his toes, he knew what Concubine Shen wanted to do with the prince. It was not that he was assuming the master's will. If the prince was willing to take action, this matter would definitely happen. It won't get to this point.
Concubine Shen just felt like her head was buzzing, and she couldn't find anyone to lose her temper with. In the end, she could only grind her molar teeth and said: "Take a message to Chen'er. If he can't settle the matter in Prince Li's Mansion, he will definitely regret it." of. "
Looking at Concubine Shen's angry look, she seemed to be determined to kill her at all costs. Butler Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he really didn't dare to delay, so he sent the secret guard to deliver the message.
Concubine Shen estimated that the traitor would not be able to come back for a while, so she decided to go to Prince Li's Mansion first. When she arrived at Prince Li's Mansion with her maids and guards, the housekeeper of Prince Li's Mansion was instructing people to load things into the carriage.
The first batch of loaded goods has been sent to the south courtyard of the city. After loading these cars, we can only wait for the first batch of carriages and horses to come back before we can continue loading. Although there are still a few hours before dark, the people in the palace There are so many things, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them if I delay like this.
The housekeeper was sending the boy to hire more carriages when he saw Concubine Shen arriving. He could only step forward and salute in the midst of his busy schedule: "Concubine, I wish you well."
"Where are these things going to be pulled?" Shen Taifei asked solemnly.
"It will be sent to the other courtyard in the south of the city." the housekeeper replied respectfully.
"Why is it the south of the city?" Concubine Shen couldn't help but frown. She had the impression that the south of the city was where untouchables lived.
This... the housekeeper couldn't answer this. The prince asked him to move to the south of the city, and he didn't know why...
Concubine Shen had been to Prince Li's Mansion several times and knew the layout of the Prince's Mansion very well. She went to the courtyard where Shen Bichi lived without anyone leading her.
As soon as Concubine Shen entered the courtyard, she saw that only this place in the whole house was quiet, and there was no intention of moving away.
Concubine Shen frowned, and when she walked into the main room, she saw Shen Bichi, whose eyes were as teary as walnuts.
"Aunt... Wuwu..." When Shen Bichi saw Concubine Shen, she looked more and more like a child who had been greatly wronged, and threw herself into Concubine Shen's arms, "Bichi can't live anymore..."
"It's okay, my aunt is here." Concubine Shen patted Shen Bichi's back and looked at Yuhuan, who was waiting on the side, "Why don't you take care of yourself?"
"Reporting to the concubine, the princess won't let the slaves deal with it...said...don't leave the palace..." Yuhuan looked at Concubine Shen's face and her face became darker and darker, and her voice became softer and softer.
"Where's Cui Huan?" Concubine Shen felt that her niece was extremely stupid, but seeing that she was so sad now, she couldn't reprimand her, so she could only find someone to bear her anger.
"Sister Cuihuan has gone to the palace to see the Dowager Princess on the order of the princess..." Yuhuan lowered his head, "Looking at it from the looks of it, I'm afraid Sister Cuihuan has gone awry with you..."
"Forget it, you go pack your things first. We won't be able to finish moving in a while, and once the Ministry of Punishment puts a seal on it, nothing can be taken away." Concubine Shen was not in the mood to lecture anyone anymore.
"Aunt..." Shen Bichi tugged at Concubine Shen's sleeve, "I just heard from the official that the emperor asked His Highness the Fifth Prince to stay in seclusion in the south courtyard of the city to think about his past... Isn't that just house arrest? I don't want to go..."
"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Concubine Shen thought for a moment, "Even if Si Tang made a big mistake, he is still the emperor's son, and he may not be able to get up again in the future.
If you don't share the joys and sorrows with him now, it will be more difficult to get along with him in the future..."
"Aunt...I..." Shen Bichi gritted her teeth and told Concubine Shen that the ointment given to her by Si Tang was mixed with musk kernels.
"That's unreasonable!" Concubine Shen slammed the table.
