Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

The atmosphere at the palace banquet was a bit dull, so the emperor waved his hand and ordered all the concubines except the Concubine Chen to personally pour tea and wine for the ministers and guests, using beauties to liven up the atmosphere.

The concubines didn't seem to have many objections and walked over to the ministers' seats with their waists twisted.

When they arrived at the table of Shen Zhaozhao and Jiang Jinyan, one of the concubines' eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Jinyan's appearance.

After she poured wine for Jiang Jinyan, she gently stroked the back of his hand with her slender, nail-stained hands, as if a feather was brushing past.

Jiang Jinyan suddenly felt unwell, his face stiffened and he quickly retracted his hand under the table.

Shen Zhaozhao on the side was dumbfounded. This concubine actually touched other men right under the emperor's nose. Should we say she was bold or timid?

What's more, she, the fake wife, is still by Jiang Jinyan's side.

Shen Zhaozhao looked up and made eye contact with the concubine, who smiled at her provocatively.

Very good, don't take her seriously at all.

Shen Zhaozhao also discovered that several concubines were secretly flirting with young ministers.

After the concubine left, Jiang Jinyan kept rubbing the back of his hands on his robe.

Shen Zhaozhao suspected that if he continued rubbing, a layer of skin would be rubbed off the back of his hand sooner or later.

She expressed deep sympathy and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Jinyan smiled at her: "Fortunately, nothing serious."

The back of his hand was still rubbing on the clothes, and the place where the concubine had touched was red.

Jiang Jinyan cried in his heart.

He hadn't even held Qian Meng's hand yet, yet he was touched by this shameless woman!

Angry and want to cry.

It was time for the emperor to take his medicine, and Concubine Chen asked a palace maid to bring the medicine over. When she passed by them, Jiang Jinyan's medical instinct made her take a light sniff.

After smelling something wrong, he no longer cared about being sad, and immediately pulled Shen Zhaozhao's sleeve and said in a low voice: "This medicine is mixed with chronic poison."

"Ah?" Shen Zhaozhao looked at Concubine Chen on the high platform.

The Concubine Chen wants to poison the Emperor?

These days, the emperor's concubines are all a bit troublesome.

After a while, another palace maid came to pour wine for their table.

The palace maid seemed a little clumsy and accidentally spilled the wine on Shen Zhaozhao.

The maid apologized repeatedly: "Miss Shen, I'm so sorry, I will help you change your clothes."

"No need." Shen Zhaozhao looked at her suspiciously and said with a smile, "It's just that the hem of your skirt is a little wet, it's not a big deal, you don't need to change your clothes."

Her refusal made the palace maid look anxious. Her hand shook violently, and by coincidence the liquid splashed on Shen Zhaozhao, right at her waist.

The corners of Shen Zhaozhao's mouth twitched.

What poor acting.

She glanced quietly at the emperor sitting on the high seat, and sure enough, he was paying attention to what was happening at their table.

Jiang Jinyan didn't know the inside story. Seeing that her clothes were soaked by the wine, he said, "It's cold tonight. You should change your clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Shen Zhaozhao thought about it and decided to take advantage of the situation to see what evil intentions the dog emperor was up to.

She secretly gave Jiang Jinyan some self-defense amulets and voice transmission amulets, then stood up and left with the palace maid.

The palace maid led Shen Zhaozhao further and further away, as if she was afraid that she would think too much, and she even explained: "Miss Shen, the clothes were delivered to the side hall of Huayang Palace, so it's a bit far."

Shen Zhaozhao pretended to be confused: "Hey, how did you know my last name is Shen?"

The maid was so nervous that she couldn't even speak straight. She laughed and said, "I heard someone calling your name."

Shen Zhaozhao also pretended to be confused: "Oh, so that's it."

There was a banquet held in the palace, and there were not many people along the way except the palace maids on duty.

As soon as he entered the side hall, he was hit by a very strong smell of incense. Shen Zhaozhao frowned and held his breath.

The palace maid took Shen Zhaozhao to the inner room, secretly observing her expression.

Shen Zhaozhao immediately realized that there was something wrong with the incense in the room, so he covered his head and pretended to be a little dizzy.

The palace maid immediately stepped forward and helped her walk inside.

Shen Zhaozhao obediently followed her to the bedside, and a stream of spiritual power quietly ejected from his fingertips.

The support on my arm suddenly loosened.

Shen Zhaozhao hugged the unconscious palace maid, helped her to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

The palace maid's face was covered with sweat, her face was flushed, her eyelids moved slightly, and there was even a faint sign of waking up.

Shen Zhaozhao's eyes fell on the incense burner from which green smoke was curling. His pupils shrank slightly and he cursed in his heart.

How despicable, to use such a despicable method.

She quickly opened the hollow carved lid and extinguished the incense with the tea on the table.

After doing all this, she jumped lightly onto the roof and waited for someone to come.

Soon, she saw the emperor walking towards here with a anxious look on his face, followed by a eunuch.

He asked the eunuch to keep watch outside the door, and he pushed the door open with a lewd look on his face, rubbing his hands.

Shen Zhaozhao lifted a tile and looked down.

The emperor had quickly walked to the bedside, but before he could see the person on the bed clearly, Shen Zhaozhao knocked him unconscious.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground made the eunuch nervous. He shouted with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty?"

Shen Zhaozhao took the opportunity to make him faint as well.

Looking at the people fainting inside and outside the door, Shen Zhaozhao smiled with a bit of pride.

Still want to plot against her? No way.

She took great effort to drag the emperor and the eunuch outside to a tree and tied them up, then used magic to wake up the palace maid.

The palace maid opened her eyes, a little dazed, and then walked quickly. When she saw the emperor tied to the tree, she was horrified and ran away almost escaping.

Shen Zhaozhao drew an itching talisman and stuck it behind the emperor, then looked at him carefully, thinking to herself, it was hard to imagine that such a lustful man could be the Emperor Dazhao. No wonder the concubines were like that.

After leaving this place of trouble, she had no intention of returning to the banquet, so she took out a voice transmission talisman and planned to send a message to Jiang Jinyan to ask him to come out.

"Miss Shen."

The Concubine Chen called her with a smile not far away.

Shen Zhaozhao quickly put the voice transmission talisman into his sleeve and walked over as if nothing had happened: "Empress Chen, is the palace banquet over?"

The concubine leaned against the tree behind her, not as dignified as before. She curved her lips and smiled, "Miss Shen, I came all the way to find you."

"Looking for me?" Shen Zhaozhao pointed at himself, his mind unable to wrap around for a moment.

What to do with her?

Concubine Chen approached her, with inquiry and curiosity in her eyes: "Miss Shen, you are a cultivator, so how come you are with His Highness?"

"Then do you know His Highness's identity?"

She frowned slightly, a little confused, and seemed to be talking to herself: "Your Highness is heartless, will he still like you?"

What and what?

Shen Zhaozhao was confused by her three questions in a row. She raised her hand to stop the concubine from saying, "Wait, excuse me, who is the prince you are talking about?"

Concubine Chen looked at her with a smile: "It was my master when I was in the Demon Palace. His name was Chu Yu."

She continued with a firm tone: "Miss Shen must know him, or you two are a Taoist couple."

Shen Zhaozhao was surprised, not because of the Concubine Chen's identity, but because she actually knew the relationship between Chu Yu and her.

Could it be that she had always felt that someone was following her, and was it Concubine Chen's men?

Shen Zhaozhao said calmly: "So, what do you want to do?"

Concubine Chen shook her head and said, "I'm not going to do anything. I'm just curious, how could Miss Shen be with His Highness since she is from an upright sect?"

Shen Zhaozhao looked directly into the eyes of the Concubine Chen, with a serious face: "There is no difference between the immortals and the demons. Just like people are good or bad, not all immortals are kind, and not all demons are evil. If that's the case, why should we be prejudiced?"

Looking at the girl's frank eyes, Concubine Chen's eyelashes trembled, and her thoughts drifted away.

Once upon a time, the couple had told her the same thing. They were the best people to her, even though they knew she was a low-level demon servant.

Unfortunately……

There was sadness and resentment in the eyes of the Concubine Chen.

Shen Zhaozhao was right. The immortal sect claimed to be upright and destroyed her cultivation. If King Zheng and his wife had not saved her, she would have died long ago.

Everyone in the world says that demons are evil and they cannot be tolerated.

In fact, human hearts are unfathomable. Fighting against one's own family and killing one's own flesh and blood have long been happening among human royal families.

She asked, "Does Miss Shen like killing?"

Shen Zhaozhao said: "I don't like it, but sometimes killing is a necessary means to solve the problem, so I won't refuse. I can only do my best not to kill innocent good people."

When Concubine Chen heard her words, she smiled and said, "Then do you know how many demons and humans His Highness has killed? Many of them were innocent."

"What?" Shen Zhaozhao's heart suddenly hit him.

Concubine Chen said: "Your Highness is a murderous lunatic, don't you care?"
