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

This requires Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao to make a choice.

Should he be completely loyal to Shen Zhinian? Or should he continue to report the important matters of Tingyu Pavilion to the emperor as before?

Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao looked at each other, and a bitter smile appeared in their hearts.

They had known for a long time that Tingyu Pavilion had discovered the red flower, but without finding out the whole story, they chose to protect themselves and did not report the matter to His Majesty.

If we report the whole thing to His Majesty now, His Majesty will doubt their loyalty and ability. He might even vent his anger on them because of the loss of the heir to the throne.

And... since they were transferred to Tingyu Pavilion, if they want to have a good future, their honor and disgrace all depend on Concubine Rou.

Madam Xiao and Yuanbao were both smart people and quickly made the right choice. Their attitude towards Shen Zhinian was also much more respectful than before.

"This matter is up to you, my lady! No matter how you deal with Little Li, I will follow your lead!"

Shen Zhinian put down the sweet cheese in his hand, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

She understood that from this moment on, Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao had completely surrendered to her!

"Please forgive my relatives, my lord! Please have mercy on me..."

Knowing that the life and death of the three tribes depended on Shen Zhinian's thought, Little Li kowtowed his head even harder.

"okay!"

Shen Zhinian interrupted him impatiently: "I will not tolerate a traitorous servant under my command. You must die! But if you are willing to do something for me, I can guarantee that your people will never be implicated."

At the moment the incident happened, Leo knew he was going to die. He was very lucky to be able to save his family.

"I am willing! As long as you ask, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire for you!"

Following Shen Zhinian's eye contact, Handan took out a paper bag and threw it to him.

"Whether you poisoned the food or not, find a way to get this package to Liu Ruyan. Then leave a suicide note saying that Shangguan Guiren threatened your family and forced you to do this."

Shen Zhinian is a very stingy person and never allows himself to be wronged.

Liu Ruyan attacked her several times. At tonight's banquet, Shangguan Guiren used the excuse that she did not prepare a gift for the emperor and joined forces with the concubines to attack her.

Now that she had the chance, how could she not retaliate?

The most important thing is... Liu Ruyan and Shangguan Guiren are both dependent on Queen Jiang, and they are enemies from their standpoint.

If she doesn't take the initiative, is she waiting for Shangguan Guiren to find an opportunity to harm her?

Little Li said resolutely: "I will obey the orders of the young master and complete this last task!"

After he went down, Nanny Xiao and Yuanbao both had complicated expressions on their faces.

Under Shen Zhinian's deliberate revelation, the two knew that the young lady was not as innocent and kind as she appeared to be. But they only realized at this moment that she was actually a black-hearted lotus...

However, the two did not think this was a bad thing. Only concubines with scheming and means could go further in the deep palace.

Shen Zhinian did it on purpose. After all, if he pretended to be kind in front of his own people, how could he get them to do things for him?

Madam Xiao lowered her head and asked respectfully, "Young Master, you openly ordered the palace servants to murder Lady Liu. Aren't you afraid that this old servant and Yuan Bao will tell others about this?"

Shen Zhinian smiled calmly: "Madam, there is no need to test me. Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people you don't trust. Now that I have accepted your and Yuanbao's surrender, I will treat you as my confidants."

"If I don't even have the courage to trust you, how can I dare to let you work for me in the future?"

Servants are also human beings. If you want them to work for you wholeheartedly, you have to win their hearts. It must be said that Shen Zhinian has a firm grasp on people's hearts.

Madam Xiao and Yuanbao lifted their skirts and knelt on the ground, their respectful attitudes showing a hint of loyalty: "This old slave will not let the young master down!"

"Get up."

Madam Xiao asked seriously, "I wonder what the young lady asked Little Li to find an opportunity to put on Concubine Liu?"

"Any poison can be traced back to its source. If you don't clean up the source, it's very easy for someone to catch you."

Once they are truly loyal, Xiao Ma and Yuan Bao will consider Shen Zhinian wholeheartedly. Even if she kills someone, they will hand her the knife and clean up the mess.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. I wouldn't dare use poison in the harem. It's just some ordinary pollen."

Before entering the palace, Zhao Yungui told her that Liu Ruyan's weakness was that she was allergic to hibiscus pollen.

When she first entered the palace, Shen Zhinian's foundation was not stable, so she did not act rashly against Liu Ruyan. Now that the time has come, she will naturally use this card!

Moreover, hibiscus flowers are very common in the palace, so even if you search, you won’t find them on Shen Zhinian’s mind.

Of course, the show had to be done in full, so Shen Zhinian wrote another letter and asked his father to send someone pretending to be from the Shangguan family, detain Xiao Lizi's relatives for a few days, and then give them to Fuqiu to send them out secretly.

After setting up a plan to take revenge on all those who had harmed her, Shen Zhinian's smile was like a poppy flower blooming in the dark, charming and dangerous.

……

The next day, Li Changde brought people to deliver rewards to Tingyu Pavilion, saying that it was to appease Shen Zhinian who was being blamed by Yin Shuren.

Liu Ruyan fell, and among the newcomers, no one could compete with Shen Zhinian. She was the well-deserved new favorite concubine, and I don’t know how many people were jealous of her.

Whether it was Shen Zhinian herself or the palace maids of Tingyu Pavilion, they were all as low-key as ever. Even if someone wanted to find fault with her, they would not be able to find an opportunity.

Perhaps because he had lost another royal heir and was extremely sad, the emperor did not set foot in the harem for the next few days.

Queen Jiang was also sad, and her health became worse. The imperial physician went in and out of Kunning Palace all day long, and the medicine was never out of stock.

Shen Zhinian guessed that it must be on the day of the Emperor's Birthday. In order to avoid being overshadowed by Concubine Liu, Queen Jiang took a strong medicine and forced herself to maintain her energy for the entire day.

After the effect of the medicine wore off, it started to backfire.

In a sense, Queen Jiang is also quite pitiful. She has a top family background and is the mother of the country, but because of her health, she is suppressed by a concubine and cannot raise her head.

But who in the harem doesn't have helplessness? Shen Zhinian doesn't have the leisure to pity others.

"Fuqiu, go to the storehouse and pick out some suitable gifts. We will go to Shangxiang Palace to visit Concubine Kang."

Concubine Kang must have hated Liu Ruyan. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Shen Zhinian wanted to win over allies, so he would not miss this great opportunity.

"Yes!"

Soon, the master and his servants arrived at Changchun Palace.

After greeting the main concubine, Concubine Liang, Shen Zhinian went to the Shangxiang Palace on the right.

Although they were all noble ladies with titles, everyone in the palace knew how favored Noble Lady Rou was. The palace servants in Shangxiang Palace did not dare to neglect her and immediately invited her in after reporting.

It had been several days since the miscarriage, but Concubine Kang's face was still extremely pale, and she had visibly lost a lot of weight.
