Time Travel: The actress's acting skills exploded, and she was favored by the harem
Chapter 44: Another intercepted letter
The next day, Bo Muxi got up very early again, and Shen Zhiyao naturally had to get up early with him. Although she was very sleepy, she still pretended to be affectionate and helped Bo Muxi put on his clothes and accessories.
There are some things you can't be lazy about, and some plays you have to perform to the extreme.
Bo Muxi has a very well-trained body. He must have trained hard to leave an impression of bravery and fighting skills to the late emperor when he participated in the fight for the throne a few years ago. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, without a trace of fat, and you can even feel his abdominal muscles intact.
With such a hot body, he always has an ascetic handsome face and cold and ruthless eyes, which creates a very cute contrast effect.
Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but imagine that if Bo Muxi was born in modern times, wearing an exquisite and straight suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he would definitely look like a domineering president who could charm thousands of girls!
Bo Muxi looked speechlessly at Shen Zhiyao who was infatuated with him. It was the first time that he felt shy when being stared at by a woman. He couldn't help but lift her chin and asked, "My beloved, how can you, a woman, stare at me with such a weird look?"
"Your Majesty is so handsome... I couldn't help but take a few more glances." Shen Zhiyao was indulging in the emperor's beauty, but was interrupted by him for no reason, so she pushed his hand away with some dissatisfaction.
"I also know that I am good-looking, but my beloved concubine, are you a little too concerned about my appearance?" Bo Muxi asked with a smile.
What she meant was that she hoped Shen Zhiyao would pay more attention to his other strengths and not just care about his appearance, such as his mind, bearing, civil and military skills... There are obviously so many things about him that the little concubine can admire!
Shen Zhiyao, this little concubine, is so superficial and needs to be properly disciplined! The emperor thought so.
"Of course I admire the emperor in many ways, but I just woke up and I'm still very sleepy. My mind is blank right now!" Shen Zhiyao was simply admiring his beauty, but did not want to anger the emperor, so she had to find an excuse to prevaricate.
Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi did not doubt it and chuckled with satisfaction.
"If you haven't woken up yet, just sleep a little longer here with me and go back later. Don't go to the Queen's place. I'll go talk to her." Bo Muxi said softly, appearing very considerate.
"No, we still have to follow the rules. It won't be proper for me to stay here with the Emperor!" Shen Zhiyao said obediently.
Bo Muxi hummed with satisfaction. He really liked women who knew their limits.
"Lin'en, order someone to prepare some breakfast that would suit Hejincairen's taste, so that she can eat before leaving." The emperor gave the order. He seldom worried about such trivial matters.
Lin En quickly agreed and trotted off to prepare.
Shen Zhiyao then thanked him obediently again, and helped the emperor dress up with all her heart and eyes, before sending him out.
"My beloved concubine has been exceptionally well-behaved today. I'll be leaving first. I still have some things to discuss with the Crown Prince of Ying later, so it's not advisable to be late." Bo Muxi explained softly. He originally wanted to have breakfast with Shen Zhiyao.
"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, and I can understand that. I respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty." Shen Zhiyao saluted. She was really annoyed. The etiquette was too strict when staying by the emperor's side. She wished he would leave earlier so that she could be more comfortable.
Before leaving, Bo Muxi did not forget to pinch her face, leaving some red marks on her face.
Finally the emperor was sent away and breakfast was delivered. Shen Zhiyao ate leisurely before starting to dress up.
After getting dressed, they hurried to the Queen's palace. Although the Queen had granted them special amnesty and they didn't have to get up early to pay their respects during the hunting season, no one dared to really forget the rules.
At this time, the Queen was in the palace listening to the report from the palace spy, who said that a letter written by Shen Zhiyao to Shen Li a few days ago was intercepted. While listening to the intercepted details, the Queen unfolded the letter and read it carefully. After a while, she laughed out loud.
The Queen's reaction was so strange that Shijin and the spy looked at each other, not knowing how to react.
"Has the handwriting been authenticated? Is it indeed from Concubine Jin?" After the queen stopped laughing, she casually threw the letter on the round table and asked.
"I asked someone to carefully identify it, and it is indeed the handwriting of Jin Cairen." The spy bowed.
"Hmm..." After the queen pondered for a moment, she turned to Shijin and smiled, "If it weren't for Queen Mother Zhao protecting her, Concubine Zhao would have died countless times. She is so stupid!"
"Empress?" Shijin asked in confusion.
"Every word in this letter seems to be written by Concubine Jin, but when they are put together, it really doesn't seem like something that Concubine Jin could have written. If this was done by Queen Mother Zhao, it would have been foolproof, but this Imperial Concubine Zhao... is a brainless person." The Queen shook her head in disgust.
Shijin now understood that the Queen should have already had clues from other channels, proving that it was Concubine Zhao who framed Shen Zhiyao.
"That's right. Concubine Zhao is so stupid sometimes that I can't stand it! Concubine Jin is not someone who can be easily messed with. If you want to harm her, you must make the evidence watertight. After all, she comes from a military family. The interests are there. The Emperor can't just believe it blindly. If Concubine Jin is not killed, Shen will hate Concubine Zhao to death!" said Shijin.
The Queen smiled and said, "Well, she's so stupid, it makes me worry less. If she were someone more scheming, I would have to be on my guard all the time, which would be really troublesome! Keep this letter...it might...be of great use."
Shi Jin agreed, then carefully folded the letters on the table and kept them close to him.
The Queen sat down and took another sip of tea. Whether she would take out the letter depended entirely on her mood and... Shen Zhiyao's performance...
The spy bowed and asked, "Empress, do you have any arrangements? I will do my best to get it done."
The emperor naturally knew about the existence of spies, and they could even be dispatched by the emperor and the empress together.
These people were personal eunuchs with great martial arts skills who had been brought with them from the palace.
Of course, some of these people are biased. For example, the one standing next to the queen is naturally more loyal to the queen. Bo Muxi also knows this and acquiesces to it.
In the harem, the queen must have the ability and means to protect the people she wants to protect, and also know what she wants to know. She must have capable people available.
For Bo Muxi, the queen never interfered in state affairs arbitrarily, and always considered him, helped him and assisted him. This was enough.
The corners of the queen's lips slightly raised, drawing a beautiful arc, and turned to the spy and said, "During this period, you have two main tasks. One is to do your best to protect the baby in Concubine Zhuang's belly; the second is to keep a close eye on Concubine Jin and prevent others from harming her again."
"Yes, I will keep in mind the Queen's instructions and will handle the matter properly." After receiving the order, the spy bowed and took his leave with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, you are really overworked. You have to worry about a mere talented person like Jin!" Shijin frowned and sighed.
A mere talented person? The queen's eyes were as deep as the starry sky, and her brows revealed her innate majesty. To her, Shen Zhiyao was more than just a talented person. She was a very important part.
Of course, everything depends on whether Shen Zhiyao can successfully overcome the crisis and live well.
The Queen hoped that Shen Zhiyao could try her best to escape. It would be a pity if she died...
