Concubine Shen has been immersed in the royal family for half her life, so she naturally understands the deep meaning of the fifth prince's actions. Her originally bad mood became worse: "Bai Lian, you first go to the other courtyard to clean up the courtyard where Bichi lives. .”
"Yes, Princess Dowager." Bai Lian bowed and saluted.
"Aunt..." Shen Bichi looked at Concubine Shen with tears in her eyes, "Bichi doesn't dare to live alone in another courtyard."
"You move here today, and in a few days, I will send someone to take you to Changchun Palace." Concubine Shen understood her niece's little thoughts. But she knew where the traitor's bottom line was. If she let Bi Now that Chi has moved to Prince Yun's Mansion, it may be difficult to maintain even the superficial peace.
Shen Bi's hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists, and her fingernails were digging into the palms of her hands to make bloody marks, but her face still looked pitiful: "Bichi listens to her aunt."
Before sunset, Shen Bichi followed the last few carts of luggage and headed to the Shen family's villa. But Concubine Shen did not leave, and still stayed in the courtyard where Shen Bichi lived.
The palace steward turned to the rockery in the garden and entered the secret passage: "Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Si Tang slowly put down the tea cup in his hand, his face calm, without any trace of panic.
"The princess has left the mansion and moved to the Shen family's annex." The housekeeper took a sneak look and saw that the expression on the prince's face did not change. He then continued, "The princess is still at the mansion and wants to see you."
"Hmm." The fifth prince's eyes raised slightly. The concubine had been making cakes for him from the very beginning. To this day, he hadn't even had a sip of soup.
The steward stood with his head bowed, waiting for his master's instructions.
"Go and do your work. I'm going to meet Concubine Shen." A hint of amusement flashed in Si Tang's sinister eyes.
After the housekeeper left, the fifth prince first took a look at the secret room that had been almost emptied, and then ordered the attendant: "After the chamber is emptied, seal all the secret passages leading to the outside."
"I understand."#@$&
The fifth prince walked leisurely in the palace. He always felt that he was disguised very well. This time he was really caught off guard by cutting off the prince. But his true foundation was not in the court at all. His future plans would be affected. The impact is not very serious.
Concubine Shen was sitting in the empty main hall and saw the fifth prince walking in from outside the courtyard. He was strolling in the courtyard, as if he was not the one who had been stripped of his royal title.
"The Concubine." The fifth prince saluted politely.
For the first time, Mrs. Shen discovered that Lao Wu's city was much deeper than she thought: "I want to negotiate a deal with you."
"Taifei, please speak." The fifth prince casually pulled up a chair and sat down.%&(&
"I'll help you settle this matter. You have to promise that Bichi will always be your wife, and her eldest son must be born to her." Concubine Shen said her bargaining chip and conditions.
"Yes." The fifth prince nodded without thinking, and a faint smile of unknown meaning gradually appeared on his face, "If the concubine can help me succeed, the position of queen must belong to Bichi."
Who can't draw a pie?
Concubine Shen's brows twitched. She believed that if the traitor was willing to help, the chance of Lao Wu ascending to the throne was still very high.
However, she is not sure now that she can convince the traitor: "I will take note of your words."
Concubine Shen walked out of the main hall, and Cailian and the guards who were guarding the door quickly followed.
The fifth prince curled his lips. Although he was looking forward to getting help, this concubine might not have realized her own strength yet.
In the afternoon, Si Haochen received a message from Princess Shen. He made a gesture to signal the secret guards to retreat.
Mingruo scratched his chin: "What information did you get into her hands? She would regret it if she could be so sure that you were not 'threatened'..."
"I wonder what kind of 'chicken feathers' she used as 'order arrows.'" Si Haochen said, not knowing much about Mrs. Shen's strange brain circuit.
"Then do we want to go back?" Mingruo asked casually.
"Of course..." Si Haochen smiled at Mingruo, "No...go...back!"
"What if she does something wrong?" Ming Ruo felt that since Concubine Shen could say such cruel words, it must be true.
"The Emperor is in the imperial capital, nothing will happen to him." Si Haochen shrugged.
Mingruo asked with his eyes: Is this okay?
Si Haochen gave Mingruo a confirming look.
Concubine Shen rushed back to the palace before the keys were locked, and then took a soft sedan to the Changchun Palace.
Stepping into the courtyard, Concubine Shen always felt that the Changchun Palace today seemed a little different, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different.
It wasn't until she walked to the main hall that she found Eunuch Hai standing on the verandah outside the hall: "My dearest concubine, Wan'an."
Concubine Shen was a little unsure whether she was dazzled: "Eunuch Hai?"
"Why have you just come back? The Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time..." Eunuch Hai opened the curtain and invited Concubine Shen to come in.
Concubine Shen was very surprised. The Emperor had not seen her for many years.
Concubine Shen held the hairpin on her head and walked slowly into the store. There was a light dinner on the table, and the Emperor, dressed in a green and gold brocade robe, sat casually at the table.
"I, my concubine, come to see your Majesty." Concubine Shen bowed respectfully.
"Get up." The Supreme Emperor pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Shen sat down opposite the Emperor. The maid brought a hot handkerchief to clean Concubine Shen's hands.
"Let's have a meal." The Supreme Emperor picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.
Concubine Shen knew very well that the Emperor did not like to dine at the same table with others, so the fact that he came at such a time made her even more frightened.
However, she did not dare to ask the Supreme Emperor directly about his purpose. She felt upset for a moment and the chopsticks in her hands were so heavy that they felt heavy.
"Would you like to try the fine Qiu Lu Bai?" the Supreme Emperor held up the wine pot.
Years of life in the palace made Concubine Shen's hands faster than her brain. She first held the wine glass to receive the wine poured by the Supreme Emperor.
Qiulubai made wine with night dew, which was particularly refreshing in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness. After Shen Taifei drank a glass of wine, her mood was calmer than when she first sat down.
"Shen Jin, do you know why I don't want to come to your palace?" The Supreme Emperor's tone was very gentle, as if he was saying how was the food on the table.
Concubine Shen's heart skipped a beat and she looked at the Supreme Emperor with fear in her eyes.
"Because not only do you always covet things that don't belong to you, but your methods of grabbing them are also very clumsy." The Supreme Emperor took a sip of wine and continued, "To put it simply, you are bad, stupid, and self-righteous."
Concubine Shen was startled by the Emperor's words, and she knelt down on the ground: "Concubine... I'm scared..."
"So you were also scared..." The Supreme Emperor seemed to have thought of something, and said quietly, "Were you scared when you strangled Gu's daughter to death with your own hands?"
The Emperor's words were like thunder, frightening Concubine Shen to the ground - the Emperor already knew!
