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

When Shen Zhiyao was sightseeing in the garden, a palace servant informed them that everyone needed to pack up and return to the palace immediately.

Shen Zhiyao looked up at the sky. At this time, she might even have to eat lunch on the way. It was obvious that she was in a hurry.

Shen Zhiyao immediately smelled something unusual from this abnormal behavior.

Fortunately, they didn't have much luggage, so Qiuyue and Qiuling packed some in a hurry, and then they were called away by the Queen.

Inside the palace, a large group of people were ready to go. Shen Zhiyao was still with Concubine Lu, riding in the same carriage they had come in.

Before setting off, Shen Zhiyao saw from afar that the emperor and the empress were sitting in the same carriage, looking solemn as if they were discussing something.

This time, the carriage was obviously traveling much faster than when they came. Shen Zhiyao looked at the scenery around her and fell into deep thought, and had no intention of catching up on some sleep.

"Lady Jin, why did the Emperor suddenly rush back to the palace in such a hurry? Could it be that something urgent happened in the palace?" Lady Lu asked worriedly.

Concubines are not allowed to meet with their families without reason. If Concubine Lu could see her father Lu Fengqi this morning, she would not ask such questions.

"Don't think too much, sister. Maybe the emperor is in a hurry to rush back to the palace to deal with important matters." Shen Zhiyao comforted with a smile.

In fact, Shen Zhiyao couldn't guess the reason, so she could only comfort Concubine Lu. As a concubine, she was naturally worried about the changes in the court, and she was even more worried about the disaster affecting herself.

The two of them laughed and joked all the way, trying to guess why the emperor was in such a hurry to return to the palace, but they didn't expect that something big was really going to happen.

The carriage drove on all day and night and finally arrived at the palace in the early morning. After Shen Zhiyao washed up, she fell asleep.

The next day, after Shen Zhiyao got up, she felt particularly refreshed and started to dress up carefully.

In her opinion, a woman must dress up carefully before going out, because she doesn’t know what kind of encounters she might encounter. As long as she dresses up carefully, she will be full of confidence and will be able to better seize opportunities when encountering any situation.

Shen Zhiyao's outfit today is very girlish. She is wearing a light gauze skirt. The main body of the skirt is gradient color. The color of the skirt head is light blue. The sleeves are embroidered with red plum blossom patterns as decoration, and then gradually transition to goldfish yellow. The hem of the skirt is embroidered with white flowers as decoration.

This set of clothes was also designed by Shen Zhiyao herself, and then made by craftsmen in the Clothing Bureau. It makes her look very girlish when she wears it, and it suits her age very well.

She had her hair in a bun and wore a set of exquisite pearl jewelry that the emperor had just given her.

She drew high eyebrows and when drawing eyeliner, she deliberately raised them slightly to make her eyes look particularly bright.

The light blush on both sides of her cheeks made her look pretty, clean and tender. She wore top-grade pearl earrings imported from other countries, which made her look noble, beautiful and elegant.

After this period of time, Shen Zhiyao's dressing style has become unique in the palace. She always leads the fashion trend in the harem and attracts concubines to imitate her. But the annoying thing is that no one can stand her ostentatious dressing style.

First of all, the temperament could not be suppressed, and gradually, no one dared to imitate it anymore.

Shen Zhiyao dressed up and hurried to the Queen's Fengyi Palace to pay her respects. As soon as she arrived in the hall, she felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Shen Zhiyao had a premonition that something big was going to happen today.

Sure enough, after paying respects, the queen dismissed everyone except Shen Zhiyao.

Everyone looked at each other, then took their leave. Before leaving, Concubine Zhao accidentally glanced at Shen Zhiyao, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in her eyes.

Shen Zhiyao was paying attention to Concubine Zhao, so she naturally noticed this. She felt that her father Shen Li's affair was about to be exposed.

But she was not panicked, nor did she rush to talk to the queen. She just waited quietly.

Soon, the emperor arrived at Fengyi Palace. Surprisingly, he was followed by General Zhenyuan—Shen Li.

Shen Li was wearing an exquisite crimson brocade dress. After entering the hall, he hurriedly greeted the Queen and Shen Zhiyao, who then also greeted the Emperor.

When Bo Muxi saw Shen Zhiyao's appearance today, he was naturally amazed again, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but there was no trace of a smile, and his cold gaze did not linger on her for too long.

Bo Muxi sat upright in a high position, his expression solemn and his eyes sharp.

The queen sat on a throne next to Bo Muxi, dignified and virtuous, with no trace of emotion on her calm face.

The atmosphere in the room was so tense that one could almost hear each other's heartbeat and breathing. It was depressing and tense, as if an unknown conflict could break out at any time.

Bo Muxi suddenly broke the silence and said in a cold voice: "A month ago, I received some bad news."

At this time, Shen Li and Shen Zhiyao were standing on both sides of the hall, looking at Bo Muxi with serious expressions.

"Someone intercepted a batch of letters." Bo Muxi paused, and seeing the father and daughter in the hall still standing expressionlessly like statues, he continued, "I read them carefully. They are all daily correspondence between General Zhenyuan and Prince Rui. They are full of accusations against me, as well as complaints and dissatisfaction with the court."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Li hurriedly knelt down first and said in panic: "I have never had any private contact with Prince Rui, let alone any correspondence with him. Someone has falsely accused me, please Your Majesty, please investigate!"

Shen Zhiyao's heart also skipped a beat. She had not expected that Bo Muxi would question her about this matter in person. If their answer was not careful, at best they would lose the emperor's trust and favor, at worst they would be thrown into prison, or even their entire family would be executed.

Shen Zhiyao also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have been taught by my father since I was a child. From what I know about my father, he is definitely not a disloyal or treacherous person! Please understand!"

"Oh? My beloved concubine, are you trying to excuse General Shen?" Bo Muxi asked with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, I only ask for the truth. If my father has really committed such a big mistake, I am willing to be punished by Your Majesty together with my father. But if there is someone with ulterior motives who maliciously frames my father and alienates the relationship between Your Majesty and my father, I ask Your Majesty to see through everything, clear my father's name, and give justice to the entire Shen family!" Shen Zhiyao said sternly.

Shen Zhiyao had already thought deeply about and understood the matter, so he was naturally confident in saying this at this time.

If the Shen family cannot turn the tables on this matter, Shen Zhiyao will surely perish with the Shen family. If they fight to the death, there may still be a chance.

At this critical moment, Shen Zhiyao absolutely could not give in. She could not accept being demoted or banished to the cold palace.

Bo Muxi gave a wink, and Lin En immediately brought the letter up and placed it in front of Shen Li first.

Shen Li hurriedly took the letters and unfolded them one by one. The more he read, the more shocked he became. He could not blame the emperor for being suspicious. The handwriting on these letters was exactly the same as his own, and even the speaking style was exactly the same!

Shen Li was caught off guard and stood there for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Bo Muxi looked coldly at Shen Li, who was kneeling on the ground in astonishment, and his expression gradually became gloomy. His furrowed brows and drooping mouth corners all showed his anger and disappointment at the moment...
