Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Fanghua asked, "Then, Madam, what kind of person do you think Rou Changzai is?"

After talking for so long, Queen Jiang was already showing signs of fatigue. She snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter which one. A mere concubine can't make any waves. If she can become a whetstone and make Wan Ning restrain her temper, it can be considered to have some effect!"

After hearing this, Fanghua understood that the Queen Mother did not intend to deal with Rou Changzai for the time being. When Concubine Jiang was almost worn out in the harem, it would be her death!

……

Outside Kunning Palace.

Shen Zhinian caught up with Xuepin.

"Thank you, Concubine Xue, for helping me out today!"

Although she could have escaped unscathed even without Xuepin, she still remembered the favor.

Xuepin glanced at Shen Zhinian indifferently, still looking that cold and elegant.

"I just saw the gardenias, thought of my hometown, and said a few truthful words."

Having said that, not everyone is willing to stand up and speak for her at that time. Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "Since the queen likes it, I will order someone to send a few pots of gardenias to the Yanxi Palace after I return."

Xuepin looked at her indifferently.

"I never form cliques or cliques with anyone in the harem. You don't need to show your kindness to me, let alone show your courtesy."

Although Xuepin's words were not pleasant to the ears, Shen Zhinian felt that she was much easier to get along with than those people who spoke sweet words but had ulterior motives. At least that was what it seemed on the surface.

"Whether you accept it or not is up to you, my lady, but I must do my best to show my gratitude."

Xuepin ignored her and turned away.

Shen Zhinian shook his head and walked towards Tingyu Pavilion while instructing, "Fuqiu, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Doctor Tang to check my pulse. Bring five pots of gardenias and have him check them to make sure they are all right before sending them to Yanxi Palace."

This way, she would be unable to explain herself if someone tampered with the process at any stage.

"Yes!"

Concubine An looked at Shen Zhinian's back, the jealousy in her eyes almost overflowing!

They are both charming types, but Shen Zhinian is younger and more charming than her! On the day of the audience with the whole palace, when she saw Shen Zhinian for the first time, she had a strong sense of crisis!

His Majesty knew that she liked the scent of gardenias, so he refused her request, but instead gave all the gardenias to Shen Zhinian. Wasn't this telling everyone in the harem that in His Majesty's heart, she was not as important as a concubine who had just entered the palace? !

For Concubine An, this was a naked humiliation, and even more of a sense of crisis of falling out of favor!

Seeing her face becoming more and more embarrassed, the maid Qiongzhi lowered her voice and asked, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rou just gained favor and she snatched something you like. This is simply not taking our Xianfu Palace seriously! Do you need to teach her a lesson?"

Although Concubine An is vicious, she is not a brainless person, otherwise she would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne of the palace.

"You also know that she has just been favored by His Majesty, and His Majesty is still enjoying it. If I deal with her, wouldn't it be a nuisance to His Majesty? Wait, there are people who want her dead, why dirty my hands."

Qiongzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right. I'm afraid Concubine Jiang, no, Concubine Jiang is now eager to skin her alive and pull out her tendons!"

……

Tingyu Pavilion.

Fuqiu offered Shen Zhinian a cup of scented tea, somewhat confused as to what she was saying.

"My lady, when you were in the Shen family, you kept a low profile for more than ten years. Why did you show off your talents so much after entering the palace? After what happened today, Concubine Jiang will definitely regard you as a thorn in her side. Although she is not to be feared, the Duke of Zhenguo and the Queen are standing behind her after all..."

Shen Zhinian took a sip slowly.

"Because I have no one to rely on in the Shen family, if I want to live safely, I can only try to reduce my presence. But entering the harem, it's the opposite. It's not scary to offend people, but to be forgotten by the emperor."

As long as she holds Nangong Xuanyu's favor, no one would dare to do anything to her openly.

Of course, the most important thing is that even if Shen Zhinian keeps giving in, Jiang Wanning will think that she has stolen her favor and will not let her go. On the contrary, it will make other people think that Shen Zhinian is a soft persimmon that anyone can step on!

In this case, it is better to counterattack all at once and make those who want to attack her think carefully!

As for Queen Jiang... Shen Zhinian guessed that she didn't want to see Jiang Wanning living too comfortably, so Queen Jiang would not take action against her in the short term.

By the time more people wanted to kill her, Shen Zhinian had already grown up!

"Little Master!"

Handan strode in from outside and handed over the letter in her hand.

"A letter from the master!"

Shen Zhinian was promoted to a concubine, and the Shen family was eager to worship her. Naturally, Shen's father would do his best to do what she asked.

Shen Zhinian opened the letter and read it, then raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

Soon, Tang Luochuan arrived.

Perhaps it was because the matter that had been weighing on his mind for a long time finally found a glimmer of hope, his face looked much better than before, and his attitude towards Shen Zhinian was even more respectful.

"I, your humble servant, greets Rou Changzai and wishes you good luck and happiness!"

Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "Doctor Tang, you don't have to be polite. Get up."

"You came just in time. I just received a reply from my father. My father said that the capital is far away from Jingzhou, and it might be too late to send someone there. He has sent a pigeon to his colleagues in Jingzhou, asking them to help find the whereabouts of your family."

Tang Luochuan's body shook, his eyes gradually turned red, and he knelt down again and saluted Shen Zhinian!

"Thank you, Miss Rou! I will never forget your kindness!"

Shen Zhinian's lips curled slightly, his smile still innocent.

"It's just a small favor, why are you so polite, Doctor Tang? Get up quickly. If you really want to thank me, it won't be too late to thank me once you find your family."

Tang Luochuan stood up and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"No matter what the final result is, I will remember your kindness!"

Shen Zhinian knew that she had already won over most of Tang Luochuan's loyalty.

"I asked someone to invite Doctor Tang to come today. In addition to checking Ping's pulse and the flowers to be sent to the Yanxi Palace, I also want you to help check the things in the Tingyu Pavilion's warehouse. After all, there are so many people in the palace, and I'm worried that there might be something wrong..."

Tang Luochuan immediately said, "The hearts of people in the harem are complicated, and the young lady is kind-hearted. She may be easily schemed against. It is right to be cautious. These matters are all in the hands of this humble servant!"

"Please extend your hand, my lord. I will feel your pulse first."

Shen Zhinian placed his arms on the soft pillow, but was thinking about something else.

The fact that she asked for peace of mind was fake, and the fact that she didn't want to get pregnant was real.

One reason is that she had just entered the palace and had no foundation. She might not even be able to protect herself, let alone a child?

Second, only concubines and above can personally raise the royal heir.
