Chapter 290 Whose life should be taken first?
"Madame Du said that you should watch it alone. Xiaodie and I will leave first."
Bitao quickly pulled Xiaodie out.
"Sister Bi Tao, why are you ignoring the queen's safety at this moment?"
When going out, Xiaodie laughed at Bitao who was pulling her to run.
Then with a bang, the door closed.
Shen Zhishu took a deep breath and opened the box.
A letter?
A handwritten letter from the Queen Mother?
What did she want to say?
Shen Zhishu opened the envelope, but was stunned when he saw the contents inside.
What do you mean?
She quickly folded it and put it back unopened.
Looking at the opened letter, I felt a sense of confusion.
Is the Queen Mother crazy?
Why should the letter from Princess Jing'an be sent back?
What does she mean?
The information above will definitely bring her to ruin.
Shen Zhishu was in a mess for a long time.
After gradually calming down, start from the Queen Mother's perspective.
She seemed to vaguely understand her intention.
Looking at this letter that could cost her life, she couldn't help but sneer.
"How could a woman who has no favors, no children, and yet has been sitting on the throne for more than 20 years not even have this little trick?"
It was she who was stupid, thinking too simply of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was originally threatened by Princess Jing'an because of this letter, and now she has to be on guard against the Queen, the imperial physician, and even worries all day long whether there is anyone else who wants to harm her.
But now?
She would no longer be anxious and suspicious, nor would she be afraid of being harmed all the time. Instead, she would become a grasshopper on the same rope with her.
Instantly turning her into her 'ally'.
Shen Zhishu smiled bitterly, knowing clearly that he was being plotted against.
So this is what happens when you don't cooperate with the Queen?
She was thinking in the room, while the people outside were sweating anxiously.
Bitao couldn't help it and knocked on the door.
"Go to the Shangshu Palace and see if His Majesty will come today?"
"You're looking for His Majesty?"
Bitao's eyes lit up.
I don’t know what she is thinking.
"No, don't ask anything. Just ask about His Majesty's schedule for today."
Bitao was still confused, but she ran out immediately.
Xiaodie stepped into the room and looked at the box.
Has it been opened?
What secrets are in that box?
"Get ready. If you have a chance later, you have to accompany me somewhere."
Shen Zhishu sighed deeply.
He looked like he was about to face a disaster.
Xiaodie looked at him with a face full of questions.
But...something must have happened.
What the Queen Mother sent was definitely not a good thing.
Soon, Bitao came back.
The Emperor is very busy with official duties and I'm afraid he won't leave the Shangshu Palace all day.
"That's good, Bi Tao, you stay here while I go pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
Since we are on the same boat, shouldn't we meet up as soon as possible?
Then, she brought Xiaodie to the Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother had an expression as if she knew she would appear.
I even made some hot tea and waited for her.
"It came faster than I expected, so I underestimated you. Concubine Xian is really smart."
The Queen Mother smiled and praised.
Shen Zhishu felt a chill that penetrated his bones and he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Or, you've already read the letter, so you read it quickly, accepted it quickly, and reacted quickly."
"Does the Queen still care about what happened before?"
she asked rhetorically.
The Queen Mother raised the corners of her mouth and smiled deeply.
"That's not important. Seeing the virtuous concubine coming is the most important thing. This proves that I didn't make a mistake in choosing her."
"What do you want me to do for you?"
Now that she's been brought here, shouldn't she be allowed to lead the charge?
"Since you are so smart, why don't you try to guess again? The smarter you are, the more I like you."
The Queen Mother smiled faintly.
Shen Zhishu muttered a few words in his heart.
But he still maintained a decent smile on his face.
"The contents of the letter not only concern you, but also your family. Even the emperor will be implicated. I think it is best to keep this matter buried forever and never let it come to light. How many other people do you think know about this?"
She vaguely guessed what the Queen Mother was going to do.
But I can't quite believe it.
After all, she raised him herself. Even if they are not related by blood, she still has the affection for him, right?
"Jing'an, the Queen, Dr. Ashe, Consort Xian, and I and Madam Du."
The Queen Mother was very serious and pointed them out one by one.
"Madame Du is your loyal servant. I believe that she would never betray you even if she died. I am also of the same mind as you, the Queen Mother. The Queen is a noble person. Since I have something on you, I cannot treat you badly. As for the Third Sister..."
So, is Jing’an really the first target?
At the end, the Queen Mother looked at her with great satisfaction.
"Before, I underestimated you. You are not bad. You hid yourself so well."
Midnight watch.
Yan Chu finally finished his official business in the Shangshu Palace.
When I looked up, I only saw the eunuchs standing guard and the guards outside the door. The hall was completely quiet without any sound.
Loneliness and fatigue suddenly came to my mind.
Yan Chu frowned and just wanted to leave here immediately.
So he walked out quickly.
"Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace to rest?"
Zhou Defu was a little slow to react, and when he realized what was happening he hurriedly chased after him.
But before he could do that, the door suddenly opened.
A woman in white suddenly appeared in front.
Yan Chu was also stunned.
But the person on the other side seemed to be frightened and ran away quickly.
"Shu'er."
He hurried to catch up.
However, the woman in white ran even faster. When she saw that she was no match for her opponent, she lifted up her skirt and ran as fast as she could to escape.
Yan Chu was stunned.
Only then did I realize that the person was not Shuer.
Books would never be like this.
"If you run again, I will chop off your claws."
He also remembered this person. She was a new concubine in the palace who played the pipa very well.
It really works.
Lan Yandie braked suddenly to stop, but because she was running too fast, she fell to the ground due to inertia.
One rolled so solidly and the other rolled so awkwardly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I won't do it again. I won't run away. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
She turned over and knelt down, bowing her head.
Yan Chu was shocked by her reaction.
"If you are so scared, why did you come to the Shangshu Palace?"
He walked forward and frowned when he saw Lan Yandie's miserable condition.
I'm afraid that she broke her knee when she fell just now. Her white dress was stained with blood, and her hair was messy. She looked so disheveled.
Use this method to attract his attention?
It's a bit unreasonable.
"In reply to the emperor's words, I...I..."
"You should know what happens when you deceive the emperor?"
He was a little curious. She had been guarding the door late at night, and when she saw him she ran away as if she had seen a ghost. She made herself like this. What on earth was she trying to do?
She was so frightened that she kowtowed loudly.
"I dare not. Actually, tonight... I played a game with other sisters in Lanfang Courtyard. The loser had to walk around the palace alone. I lost the game because I didn't know how to play, so I was punished. I didn't come to Shangshu Palace on purpose. I just happened to walk here..."
"So where have you been before?"
Are all the reasons so clumsy?
Turn around? Why was she standing at the door just as he opened it?
