The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

"Could my aunt possibly have guessed the murderer?"

Shen Tangan took out a silver needle and inserted it into the acupuncture point while he was chatting with her.

"I have a rough guess, but I don't know if it's accurate."

After the silver needle was inserted, Concubine Zhen felt that her usually confused mind became clearer, and she looked at the person in front of her with more appreciation.

Before she knew it, An An had grown up and was able to protect her in return.

"Aunt, your Huayang Palace may not be safe now. I'm afraid you can't take medicine at will in the palace. I can only use silver needles to help you relieve some of the pain. As for the medicine you take, I will prepare it for you when I leave the palace."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Concubine Zhen responded with a smile, and the look in her eyes became more loving as she looked at her.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable. Now I feel my ears and eyes are clear and my head is not heavy anymore."

"Aunt, you don't think my medical skills are a joke, do you? You just said you believed in me."

Shen Tangan finally figured out her routine now. It turns out that he didn't believe her at the beginning!

"Aunt, can you really handle the poisoning?"

Shen Tangan was very skeptical about this because her aunt seemed unreliable.

"You don't have to worry about this. I have been the most favored concubine in the six palaces for many years. I don't know how many people envy me. If I don't have some tricks, I won't be able to keep my position as a concubine."

Concubine Zhen tapped her forehead lightly with her jade finger and leaned lazily on the couch. She had a graceful figure, a cool expression, and was incredibly beautiful.

Shen Tangan couldn't help but stare in a daze. It had to be said that the Lin family was home to many beauties.

My mother's beauty is gentle and reserved, while my aunt's beauty is gorgeous and dazzling. They each have their own advantages.

This little beauty, she also has her own pampered and ostentatious side.

"Your Majesty is here!"

The eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the hall.

Concubine Zhen raised her half-closed eyes, slowly stood up, and just happened to meet the emperor who walked in.

She smiled and took a step forward, bowing slightly.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

He was helped up by the emperor before the ceremony was over.

"No need to be so polite, my dear."

"Your servant Shen Tangan greets His Majesty!"

Shen Tangan lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the emperor. Even so, he could still feel the strong sense of oppression from him.

The pressure from the emperor is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Oh? I didn't expect to see you here."

The emperor didn't seem to notice her. He only looked over when he heard her salute and waved casually at her as he sat down.

"Get up."

"It's rare that she has such filial piety. Knowing that I was not feeling well, she wanted to come to the palace to see me."

Concubine Zhen served tea with a smile and explained the purpose of her entry into the palace.

"He is a filial child."

Shen Tangan just lowered her head and looked at her toes. As soon as the emperor came, she felt uncomfortable all over.

The feeling of oppression is so strong. I don’t know how my aunt adapts to it. It’s really admirable.

The emperor took the teacup, looked at her and asked.

"Did you meet the prince when you entered the palace?"

When Shen Tangan heard the question, his heart trembled. As expected, the prince went to His Majesty to cancel the engagement.

"I did meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of the palace gate, but..."

The emperor frowned, "Just what?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince threatened to divorce me!"

Shen Tangan rested his head on the ground, looking extremely aggrieved, his shoulders shaking as if he was crying.

"Humph!"

The emperor snorted coldly, put down the teacup in his hand heavily, and his face darkened slightly.

This traitor!

He is so bold!

The Lin family is a noble family. Shangshu Lin is a veteran of two dynasties, and his students are spread all over the court.

The two sons, one in literature and the other in military, both reached the third rank in the court.

Even the eldest grandson, who is the same age as the crown prince, has made military achievements on the frontier this time. He will be officially canonized when he returns to the court in a while.

There is also Shen Huaichuan, the legitimate son of the Yong'an Marquisate and the grandson of Minister Lin. If he had not had his crippled legs, he should have had a seat in the court long ago.

Such a family will still stand firm a hundred years later.

Although Minister Lin has two sons and two daughters, among the younger generation, he only has one grandson, two grandchildren, and the only girl, Shen Tangan.

The entire Lin family dotes on her so much that her straightforward and flamboyant temper is not a big deal.

It is normal for girls to be a little spoiled, and they have never done anything wrong.

What's more, she has a simple mind and a kind character.

Given her status and family background, she is the most suitable candidate for the Crown Princess!

The marriage chosen for the prince would be of great help to his future ascension to the throne.

But the prince really disappointed him. Not only was he not enterprising, but he was also short-sighted and had no foresight and did not know how to prepare for a rainy day.

Naturally, he had heard about what happened in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion some time ago.

It really disappoints him!

"Is there such a thing?"

A trace of astonishment flashed across Concubine Zhen's face, and then she choked with heartache.

"Your Majesty, as you know, I have always loved this niece. A few days ago, the prince threatened to break off the engagement with her and marry a concubine's daughter in the Marquis' Mansion, which caused a lot of noise.

She lost all face because of this incident and became a laughing stock in the entire capital, and she fell seriously ill because of it.

An An is sensible. She did not mention it to me when she entered the palace this time. I thought the matter was over, but I did not expect that she would be humiliated by the prince in person before entering the palace. Although my niece is not a princess, she is also someone I have loved since she was a child. "

"My beloved, I will give you an explanation on this matter."

The emperor lowered his voice, as he was in the wrong in this matter.

He pushed hard for this marriage and personally issued an order to grant it.

Who knew the prince would be so ungrateful!

"His Majesty……"

"Aunt, An An is wrong in this matter!"

Concubine Zhen wanted to say something but was suddenly interrupted by Shen Tangan.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince prefers my concubine's sister. If Your Highness is willing, I... I can also tolerate my concubine's sister marrying on the same day as me. I am willing for Your Highness to take her as a concubine."

She lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking. They only knew that this move represented a huge concession, and even the emperor was stunned for a moment.

"In the past hundred years in Zhongjin, no sisters have ever been married. You will be laughed at by the whole capital because of this. An An, have you thought it through?"

Concubine Zhen had tears in her eyes and held her hand, feeling heartbroken.

This is how aristocratic families are. No matter how powerful they are, they are always suppressed by the royal family.

The prince is mediocre in talent, unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility, has bad conduct, is arrogant and frivolous, and is not worthy of her An An at all.

She had not agreed to this marriage in the first place and wanted to take this opportunity to ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement, but she was stopped by him.

Hearing her say this, I just felt heartbroken. With her status, she deserves the best man in the world, but now she is being treated so unfairly.

If she no longer had this identity as a member of the Lin family, she would definitely be more comfortable.

"I am not a jealous person. If His Royal Highness likes my sister, I am willing to help him."

The implication was that she was unwilling, but if the emperor and the prince had no shame, she would have nothing to worry about.

This move only needs to clarify her own position, and don't try to use jealousy to make a fuss about her in the future.

Not to mention that the love-brained prince would not agree to her proposal, Shen Qingwan would never compromise either.

Would someone who wants to step on her everywhere be willing to be oppressed by her for the rest of his life?

What earth-shattering things will these two people do for this matter?
