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

The next morning, Bo Muxi got up first, and Shen Zhiyao had no choice but to struggle to get up as well and help him wash and dress.

Shen Zhiyao was already in a bad mood when she woke up, and she remembered that every time the emperor came to her place, he would force her to get up earlier, so she maliciously put a little more effort into tidying up the collar for Bo Muxi.

Although Bo Muxi is a man, his skin is fair and tender. There were some red marks on his neck from being strangled by her, but she carelessly ignored it.

Bo Muxi was obviously feeling a little pain, but he was not angry. He just looked at her quietly, thinking that her awkward look was very cute.

He actually discovered that Shen Zhiyao was a bit sleepy.

Bo Muxi tried his best not to wake her up every time, but Shen Zhiyao was a light sleeper and would wake up soon after he got up.

Perhaps even Bo Muxi himself did not realize that he had always done his own thing and had never cared about any woman's feelings, and Shen Zhiyao was the first one.

After finally seeing the emperor off, Shen Zhiyao began to dress up. After having breakfast, she hurried to Fengyi Palace. She was not yet qualified to use the imperial sedan chair and could only walk on foot.

In Fengyi Palace, everyone arrived quite early, and no matter how strained their relationships were on a normal day, they would greet each other cordially here to maintain a peaceful scene.

Last night, Shen Zhiyao was in the emperor's bedchamber. According to convention, she should have been "verbally scolded" by everyone, but Shen Zhiyao was so good at talking that everyone did not dare to act rashly and just waited for Concubine Zhao to make the first move.

But today, for some reason, Concubine Zhao just sat there with her eyes closed, looking unusually calm, so everyone became quiet.

Shen Zhiyao sat beside Concubine Lu and said with a smile, "Sister Lu, you came really early."

"I'm fine anyway, so come early and feel at ease." Lady Lu pointed in the direction of Concubine Zhao and whispered, "The man today doesn't look well."

"Really? I noticed it too. It makes people feel relieved just by looking at it." Shen Zhiyao whispered in Lu Guiren's ear.

The air from her mouth made Lady Lu's ears itch so much that she quickly dodged and said with a smile, "Please stop it, it's too itchy!"

At this time, the queen finally came in.

The queen sat in the first seat, her eyes deep and majestic. Shen Zhiyao always felt that she was very different today, as if she was particularly serious.

The concubines stepped forward in order of rank and saluted, saying, "May the Queen be blessed with good health and long life."

The queen just nodded slightly in response.

After the greetings were over, the Queen said in a gentle voice, "There are still important matters to deal with today. The Emperor will be here soon. I won't say much more. Except for Concubine Zhao and Jin Wanyi, everyone else should go back and rest early."

The queen waved to everyone and stopped talking, not giving the other concubines a chance to speak.

Shen Zhiyao thought to herself, it looks like the big show that the emperor talked about last night is about to begin.

Sure enough, after a while, Bo Muxi also arrived at Fengyi Palace, and the Queen hurriedly took the two of them to pay their respects to the Emperor.

"Stand up," said Bo Muxi, and then he walked towards the upper seat.

When passing by Shen Zhiyao, he stopped, glanced at the gracefully dressed concubine, and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

After the emperor sat down, he motioned for the queen to sit next to him, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.

Concubine Zhao was wearing a plain white skirt today, with her hair tied into a simple bun and her makeup simple and elegant. She looked delicate and pitiful, completely different from her usual high-profile and ostentatious look.

Shijin served tea to the four people, then stepped aside and waited.

Bo Muxi drank a sip of tea before he slowly said, "Lin'en, tell the three ladies about that incident!"

The emperor's voice was cold and emotionless, which made Concubine Zhao feel even more frightened.

"I obey your command." Lin En bowed and responded, then walked to the front of the hall and began to elaborate on the investigation into the frame-up of Shen Li and Shen Zhiyao.

The person who forged the letters between Shen Li and Prince Rui has been arrested. He is a deputy general at the border. After interrogation, he only confessed that he had been punished by Shen Li for violating military discipline in the past and held a grudge against him, so he forged the letters of treason to frame Shen Li.

On the way back to Dadu, this person committed suicide by taking poison for unknown reasons, which left many suspicious points.

With this clue broken, the Ministry of Justice was at a loss and could only hope that the Queen would track down the person in the palace who forged Shen Zhiyao's letter.

All correspondence within the Dazhao Palace must be strictly reviewed and controlled by the Siyansi. If any suspicious or abnormal letters are found, they will be reported to the emperor.

Lin En naturally started the investigation from the Si Yan Si. After interrogation, the eunuch in charge was found to have no knowledge of the matter. When they found the eunuch Bao La who might have had access to the letter, that person had already committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

This matter concerns the innocence of the newly appointed General Wang Shenli of the Zhenjun Army, and also involves the private affairs of concubines in the palace. Naturally, it cannot be dealt with casually, and an explanation must be given to convince the public.

When Lin'en and Shijin led people to search Bao La's residence and check Bao La's interpersonal relationships, they accidentally involved Zhao Guifei's personal eunuch Zhizhou. The two suddenly began to contact each other frequently and had a close relationship recently.

Lin En stopped talking here. The clues were really limited, so he only investigated this much.

Concubine Zhao was terrified when she heard this. Her eyes immediately opened wide with fear and helplessness. Her originally rosy lips lost their color, and she looked desperate, as if she had encountered the end of the world.

She even felt that her originally warm body temperature seemed to drop to freezing point in an instant, and her body was shaking like a sieve.

The Queen suddenly stood up, knelt down and said, "I am the leader of the harem, but such a scandal could happen. I failed in my duty. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The queen was very smart. After she said this, she wanted to beat Concubine Zhao into the ground. Even the queen who was innocently implicated was willing to take the blame, so what about Concubine Zhao who couldn't clear her suspicion?

"Queen, please don't blame yourself. How can it be your fault that you dared to reach out to Si Yansi? Get up. I don't blame you. It's just that the person behind the scenes is extremely bold!" Bo Muxi sneered.

Although it was not pointed out, everyone present knew it in their hearts. This was probably done by Concubine Zhao. Otherwise, who in the harem could have such great ability and be able to do this?

Concubine Zhao's mentality really collapsed. If she continued like this, she would not only have to bear the crime of framing the concubine, but in order to give an explanation to the Shen family, the Emperor might even let her take the blame for slandering Shen Li. Then she would really die unjustly!

Concubine Zhao burst into tears immediately. For a moment, the whole hall was filled with her sobbing: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I really had no idea! Your Majesty!"

Concubine Zhao made up her mind that she would never admit it even if she was beaten to death, otherwise not only she but also the Zhao family would suffer.

"Haha, good! What an injustice! Then I ask you, Na Zhizhou has been with you for so many years, why is it such a coincidence that he had frequent contact with the eunuch involved in the Si Yansi incident a few days before Jin Wanyi's family letter was seized?"

Bo Muxi was extremely angry. He stood up and walked to Concubine Zhao and questioned her in a stern voice.

Concubine Zhao was so frightened that her heart and liver were broken. She could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. However, she still hugged Bo Muxi's thighs with both hands and cried, "Your Majesty, I really don't know! Your Majesty! I am innocent, I am innocent..."

Bo Muxi flicked his sleeves and snorted, "You have been domineering since you followed me. I always remember my mother's love and the Zhao family's contributions, and I usually don't want to argue with you, but what about you? You dare to do something that will affect the country? If the border is lost, can you bear the responsibility?"
