Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem

"My beloved, please stop kneeling. Your knees can't bear it." Bo Muxi said, and personally helped Shen Zhiyao up.

When everyone saw this, they didn't understand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Zhiyao looked at Bo Muxi and smiled sweetly, as if nothing unpleasant had happened.

But she was quite disdainful in her heart. If she was really worried that her knees couldn't take it, why would she let herself kneel for so long?

Concubine Zhao hated him very much, but seeing that the emperor did not dislike Shen Zhiyao, she could only be mad in her heart and dared not say anything more.

"Of course I am willing to believe the Shen family, but this matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city. It would be best for my beloved concubine to accept the investigation at the same time to prove her innocence. What do you think, my beloved concubine?"

Bo Muxi kept referring to her as his beloved concubine, but his tone left no room for doubt.

"Thank you very much for your trust, Your Majesty. I will obey your will in everything. However, I have one request." Shen Zhiyao looked at Bo Muxi with a sincere tone.

"My dear concubine, please feel free to speak. As long as it is not excessive, I will agree to it." Bo Muxi responded straightforwardly.

"No matter what my elder brother did, if I am eventually convicted, I will not be able to escape the fate. But the queen is innocent. I am willing to accept any investigation, but I just hope that the queen will not be implicated."

Shen Zhiyao was indeed smart. From beginning to end, she never pleaded for the Shen family, nor did she ask the Queen for help on her own behalf. But now she sincerely pleaded for the Queen, forcing the Queen to pay attention to her.

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. The problem on Marquis Pingxuan's side is not serious. Anyone who dares to throw dirty water on the queen will be severely punished by me and will not be tolerated!" Bo Muxi's words were sonorous and powerful, which made people feel terrified.

"Jin Shuyi, don't worry. The emperor is wise and will be able to distinguish right from wrong. We just need to wait." The queen said calmly.

"I have kept the Queen's teachings in mind." Shen Zhiyao bowed.

"Well, I'm sorry to have to trouble you for the next two days. Just stay in Cuiweixuan for the time being, and you don't have to come to Fengyi Palace to pay your respects." The queen said softly.

This is a tactful way of telling Shen Zhiyao that you have to be grounded.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhao instantly perked up. It seemed that even though the emperor and the empress said so many high-sounding words, they did not completely trust the Shen family!

The more Concubine Zhao thought about it, the more proud she became. She almost couldn't control herself and sneered out loud.

"I obey your command. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now." Shen Zhiyao still looked neither humble nor arrogant.

Bo Muxi and the Queen nodded at the same time and said in unison: "Go."

Shen Zhiyao bowed and walked out without hesitation.

Along the way, Shen Zhiyao sat in the sedan chair, thinking about the details that had just happened.

Why would the emperor specifically cater to his own plea for the queen?

It was probably because, if something really happened to the Shen family, the only person Bo Muxi could rely on in military affairs was Marquis Pingxuan. After all, Zhu Cheng was an unreliable weakling, and he couldn't use the ambitious Prince Rui, right?

When they returned to Cuiweixuan, everyone looked as if the sky had fallen, and Shen Zhiyao was speechless.

"You've followed me for so long, but you still can't stand the setback? You've really lost your composure!" Shen Zhiyao teased.

"Master, even at this point, you're still busy making fun of us." Qiu Ling pouted.

"Yes, master, you are under house arrest. Isn't this a big enough matter? We are all worried to death, so how can we care about our manners?" Qiuyue said with a wry smile.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Looking at the people in Cuiweixuan, all of whom looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Shen Zhiyao felt warm in her heart.

Although the people under her may not see things clearly, their sincerity is more valuable than anything else.

"But have you forgotten what I have repeatedly told you? I'm here to help you when things are done! You just need to do your job faithfully." Shen Zhiyao said easily.

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads guiltily. You know, in ancient times, forgetting the master's teachings was a serious crime.

"Okay, it's okay. Just do your own thing and leave the rest to me." Shen Zhiyao smiled and waved her hand.

Everyone nodded in agreement and went about their own business.

At this time, in Fengyi Palace, Bo Muxi was having a heart-to-heart talk with the Queen. The two were political allies and often discussed things in private that could not be said in public.

"This matter is too strange. The Shen family has a very strict family tradition. Shen Xun is a simple and honest person. Although I don't know him well, I often hear my younger brother praise him. How could these two people go to a brothel and cause trouble? Also, how dare Shen Xun secretly communicate with the enemy country behind his father's back?" the queen pondered.

"I have thought of this a long time ago, but I have been pretending to do so in order not to alert the enemy. I wonder which force is behind this..."

Bo Muxi pondered for a moment and added, "Also, I have never doubted Marquis Pingxuan, but we should not be too confident about the Shen family..."

The queen looked at Bo Muxi deeply and thought to herself: I'm afraid you are also worried about my family!

Bo Muxi fought his way up from the unpopular lower-class princes, so naturally it was difficult for him to trust anyone.

"Let's not talk about the people outside the palace for now. Are you too harsh on Jin Shuyi? I'm afraid that such a sudden attack will give her too much of a blow and pressure!" The queen advised carefully.

She had always felt that the emperor's temptations towards Shen Zhiyao had been too cruel, more than once. Not to mention that she was a woman, even if he was a grown man, his mentality would have collapsed after being tortured like this time and again.

The Queen also wanted to persuade Bo Muxi that love cannot be tested repeatedly, but she didn't want to persuade him too clearly, because Bo Muxi hated being told how to do things by others.

"Empress, please don't think she is too pampered. She is different from ordinary concubines. She thinks things through and has a strong ability to withstand pressure." At this point, Bo Muxi was obviously confident.

The queen looked at the confident emperor and couldn't help but shake her head in her heart. People are all made of flesh and blood. Even if Shen Zhiyao has an iron will, she can't withstand your repeated torment.

The queen was speechless about Bo Muxi. This man was very good at dealing with people, but he was very demanding and harsh towards his women.

"People are different." Bo Muxi looked at the queen and smiled: "Jin Shuyi is someone I value, and she should be in tune with me, just like the queen."

The queen smiled and nodded, completely shutting up. She was speechless. She shouldn't compare Shen Zhiyao to herself, okay? She really had never been in love...

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will send someone to keep an eye on Cuiweixuan and will not let anyone do anything to harm Jin Shuyi."

After a long time, the queen finally uttered these words.

Bo Muxi nodded with satisfaction and left with peace of mind.

"Shijin." After seeing the emperor off, the queen turned around and told Shijin, "You need to watch over it yourself and don't let anyone plot against Cuiweixuan."

"The Empress is always worried. Who is Empress Jin Shuyi? Who dares to do anything to her? Please don't always think of her as being so weak." Shijin muttered softly.
