Sure enough, the queen did not let Chunshu go.

Lady Zhao gritted her teeth and thanked the Queen: "I would like to thank the Queen on behalf of Chunshu for showing mercy."

Chunshu felt disheartened when she heard this. As she was dragged out by the eunuch to be executed, she glared at Zhao Cairen with resentment.

Zhao Cairen also felt guilty and subconsciously avoided Chunshu's gaze.

Chunshu was truly regretful. Her master, Zhao Cairen, was not even a bit inferior to Concubine Jin. It was a pity that with such a resolute character, she had to serve such a blind master.

Look at the Concubine Jin. Qiuyue clearly gave a push, but she was still saved. I was just trying to help Concubine Zhao to overthrow Concubine Jin, but I was "sacrificed".

Chun Shu felt that her life was probably ruined. After this incident, no master would want her again in the future. She was afraid that she would die of old age in the palace!

She will be beaten later, and she has to bear all the blame!

For a moment, Chunshu even wanted to close his eyes and confess everything to the Queen. It would be a good deal if he could drag Concubine Zhao along with him.

But if she really did that, she probably wouldn't survive afterwards.

Fortunately, Concubine Zhao rewarded her with two hundred taels of silver in advance, which was some consolation. With this silver, her life in the future would at least not be too difficult.

Shen Zhiyao looked at the majestic queen with eyes full of admiration. The queen was indeed extraordinary. She handled the matter so well with just a few words.

However, Shen Zhiyao didn't want Zhao Cairen to retreat too badly!

She stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise and decisive. I admire you. Although I am a victim, I don't hate anyone. I just have something to say. I hope Your Majesty and Your Majesty will allow me to do so."

Seeing her expression, Bo Muxi thought that what she said was not good and wanted to refuse, but he saw that the queen was actually looking at him with great interest, and it was obvious that she was very interested in listening.

Bo Muxi sighed secretly: The Queen still has little experience!

"Go ahead." Bo Muxi waved his hand.

After Shen Zhiyao expressed her gratitude, she stared into Zhao Cairen's eyes, and every word she spoke was full of gems.

"Being able to bear an heir to the throne is a great blessing, a blessing most of the sisters in the palace cannot even hope for. You should protect her well. If you don't know how to cherish her and fail the emperor's expectations, you will be guilty of a great crime! Lady Zhao is lucky today. If Qiuyue was frightened and used more strength, you might be able to save the child?"

"I am only a concubine. Even if I join forces with Qiuyue, I cannot afford to pay for an heir to the throne. But if it really comes to that, does Concubine Zhao think she is innocent?"

After saying that, Shen Zhiyao looked at Zhao Cairen deeply again, as if asking: What exactly do you want?

Zhao Cairen was scolded by her and her face was very ugly. She couldn't help but ask in her heart, yes! What on earth did she want?

For a moment, everyone fell into silence.

Bo Muxi suddenly stood up and glanced at Zhao Cairen who was still holding her belly and acting miserable, but he didn't show any sympathy: "I still have some memorials to review, so I will go back first, and you all can go too."

Everyone knelt down to see the emperor off. Bo Muxi glanced at Shen Zhiyao. This little concubine was even more powerful today. He had to look at her with higher regard again.

Bo Muxi was about to leave, but suddenly he became interested and said, "Jin Wanyi, accompany me back to Changde Palace. The Queen is kind and has not punished you. I will punish you to serve the pens and ink for the whole afternoon!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts. Is this a punishment?

Getting a companion for no reason is obviously a huge reward from heaven!

"Yes, I know I was wrong, and I accept the punishment." Shen Zhiyao responded with lowered eyebrows, looking very aggrieved.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts, Shen Zhiyao is really taking advantage of others!

Only the Queen found it funny. Her subordinate was truly a wonderful person, who really knew how to take advantage of others. This feeling of ease and comfort made her like him even more.

Seeing that she had a very good attitude in admitting her mistakes in public, Bo Muxi left with satisfaction.

The queen waved her hand, indicating that it was time for everyone to leave. Lu Wanyi and the others said goodbye and left one after another.

"It's true that when one person succeeds, everyone around him benefits. Concubine Jin relied on her great favor to protect even a maid who offended the crown prince. From now on, I'll have to be more cautious when I see you!" Concubine Zhao walked up to Shen Zhiyao and sneered.

“Your Majesty, you are too polite. I was able to escape danger safely thanks to the Emperor and the Empress who are very observant. Moreover, I never take the initiative to do anything to harm others, so naturally I have more blessings.” Shen Zhiyao said with a smile.

There was a certain irony in her words, and she also wanted to tell Concubine Zhao to stop planning harmful schemes that would damage her virtue.

Concubine Zhao naturally understood what was said. She glared at Shen Zhiyao fiercely and sneered. Just as she was about to explode, she saw the Queen walking towards her.

"Both of you should calm down and not cause any more trouble. Let's go." The queen waved her hand.

"Yes, I will listen to the Queen." Shen Zhiyao responded obediently.

After saying that, he glanced at Concubine Zhao, his eyes seemed to say: If the Queen hadn't spoken, I would have said a few more words to make you even more upset!

Concubine Zhao turned her head and looked deeply at the Queen, but she was sincere and rare: "When I was young, the first story that the teacher taught me was 'Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf'. I have been with the Queen for a long time, so I still have to kindly remind you that you need to be more careful."

As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Shen Zhiyao with contempt, saying, "Some wolf cubs have sharp teeth and claws when they are young. When they grow their wings, they will eat people!"

After saying this, Concubine Zhao glared at Shen Zhiyao fiercely, then took Dai Tao's hand and left.

After Shen Zhiyao watched her leave, she turned her head and stared into the queen's brown eyes, and said seriously: "Your Majesty knows how to appoint people to the right positions. If I were really the kind of person she said, you would never take me in. Now I don't want to explain any more. Just watch me act."

The queen smiled and said, "I am a very gullible person, so I know what is going on. You should go to Changdeokgung Palace as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if you are late."

Shen Zhiyao looked at the queen with emotion and thought: If Bo Muxi could have half the heart of Gu Yunran, she might have fallen in love with him a long time ago. It can be seen that the original family is crucial to a person's psychological growth.

Shen Zhiyao suddenly smiled slyly, and actually reached out to touch the queen's soft earlobe, and even pulled it gently.

Shijin and Qiuyue who were waiting on the side were stunned at the moment. How dare Concubine Jin "molest" the Empress!

I can't see it!

The queen's face turned red from her touch. She stretched out her hand to push her hand away and scolded, "You are really...nonsense!"

Although it was a rebuke, her tone was unusually gentle, without the oppressive feeling that the queen usually had when she was serious.

Shen Zhiyao reacted faster than the queen. She immediately retracted her hand, looked at the queen with a smile, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you always try to scare me. Your ears are so soft and flirty, and they feel very comfortable to touch!"
