Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

"I hope so. I am only worried that the Emperor will find out if you conceal it like this."

I wonder how he would feel if he found out that his concubine knew the truth but refused to reveal it.

Xiaodie has been in the world for many years and subconsciously feels that such behavior is tantamount to betrayal.

"No, even if he doubts, I will never admit it."

Shen Zhishu's heart trembled when he heard this.

Yan Chu is so smart, what if...

But no matter what choice you make, there are always pros and cons, and there is no perfect solution.

This is the only way to survive in the long run.

Su Rong was really pushed into a corner.

The troops outside the Great Wall have already left. If Jing'an and the Queen Mother don't show up, it will be useless if they are tied up for too long.

So she must find an opportunity to release him as soon as possible.

If she waits any longer, the show she wants to watch might end before it even begins.

So, on the second night after Patriarch Hanshan left.

When the city gate was about to close, a woman limped and staggered towards the door.

"Don't...don't close the door, wait for me."

Her voice was hoarse, her hair was messy, and her whole body was black, dirty and muddy.

Just like an old beggar.

When she got closer and reached the city gate, she smelled a rotten and stench that was even more unbearable.

"I am Princess Jing'an, I...I want to see the Emperor."

She said in a hoarse voice.

In an instant, two lines of blood flowed down her dark face. I don’t know how much pain she was in at this moment.

The guards guarding the city gate were startled, and then in this quiet night, the cold wind outside the palace gate blew stronger and stronger.

Before the news reached the palace, Shen Wang had already rushed over from the Shen Mansion.

He even did not hesitate to mobilize the talented and righteous people who had been kept in the Shen family recently.

The man with superb lightness skills ran straight to the palace gate just to deliver the message to Concubine Xian.

Shen Wang rushed to the city gate and took the person in.

"I want to see the emperor."

Jing'an expressed his thoughts again.

"You have been missing for many days. You should indeed go to see the emperor immediately. However, it is really indecent for the Third Princess to enter the palace in the attire she is wearing now. Why don't you go with me to change clothes first?"

Shen Wang asked sincerely.

It seemed like it was really for her own good.

Jing'an's first reaction was annoyance.

It’s already this time, why do you still care about this?

Besides, she has been tortured to this extent, shouldn’t the emperor see it?

"I have sent someone to the palace to inform the emperor. I believe he will come out to greet you in person soon."

No, playing the victim doesn't suit her.

She is the wife of a tribe leader from outside the Great Wall and the third princess of the royal family. How could she enter the palace in such a disgraceful manner?

Besides, when she was thrown at the city gate by the bandits, she had already guessed the bandits' purpose.

If Yan Chu saw him like this, he would probably be even more convinced that it was a self-torture trick.

She was also extremely confused at the moment and needed some time to sort out the current situation. She must not be framed.

So he agreed to Shen Wang's proposal.

She was then taken to the Dali Temple.

Shen Zhishu also received the news that Princess Jing'an had appeared before Yan Chu.

She was alone, the Queen Mother was still missing.

Was it really her who arranged everything?

Otherwise, why would she appear as soon as Chief Hanshan left?

"Your Highness, do you want to leave the palace? The Emperor should be taking action soon. If you leave the palace now, you won't be able to do anything. Besides, as a concubine in the harem, how can you run out in the middle of the night? Unless you ask the Emperor to take you out."

Xiaodie was also surprised when she heard the news.

Then he thought that this would be the next move of his queen.

"Of course not. It's useless to go."

"Then is it useful for you to know this so early?"

"How can it be useless? At least we can be mentally prepared, right?"

Shen Zhishu smiled faintly.

In just half a cup of tea, Yan Chu took action.

What's more, he even specially sent someone to deliver the message to her.

It seems to be saying that everything will be solved soon and there is no need to worry anymore.

Shen Zhishu was stunned for a moment.

Does the emperor...care about her too much?

"I don't know when my mother will be back. I'm afraid my father is also very worried."

After a while, Shen Zhishu sighed, still looking very worried.

"Xiao Die, tomorrow morning, I'd better go and pay my respects and offer tea to the Emperor."

If it wasn't already late at night, she would really like to go over there right away.

What could the emperor have to do with this matter?

"And the Queen, why don't you go and ask her what she thinks? Don't let her find fault with me and scold me when I go to offer tea."

She was almost falling asleep, but she suddenly stood up and gave instructions to Xiaodie.

"Yes, I have gone to the Queen's place to report the news before dawn. I will not delay your work."

Xiaodie was speechless after hearing this.

It seems that my queen is getting better and better at pretending.

Isn't her real purpose to inform the Queen?

But she still didn't understand what this had to do with Jing'an's affairs.

That night, Yan Chu did not come back all night because he was investigating Jing'an's disappearance.

The next morning, he did not attend the morning court.

He brought back a letter which seemed to say that he had set out in person to look for the Queen Mother.

Shen Zhishu carefully prepared tea and snacks and went to pay his respects to the retired emperor.

How could Su Rong let her act alone?

"The Emperor likes quietness. Aren't you afraid of making him angry by disturbing him so suddenly?"

When they met, she sneered and mocked her for wasting her efforts.

"I just thought that the Emperor was also worried about my mother and the third sister, so I wanted to go and see them. If the Emperor is not happy, I will come back immediately."

You're worried? Then why are you here?

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Queen. You seem to be a little plumper. I guess you have a good appetite and eat a lot now. The baby must be healthy."

As she spoke, she glanced up and down at Su Rong again.

The words were nice, but the tone seemed a bit annoying.

"I don't rely on this face, so it doesn't matter. But unlike you, it's so hard to maintain this face. I don't know if you can still keep the emperor when your belly swells and your body swells in the future."

Su Rong sneered.

You think you can annoy her with just this little trick?

Shen Zhishu underestimated her too much.

The two of them laughed and teased each other all the way to Taichen Palace.

The emperor now lives a leisurely and stable life.

Originally he didn't have much time left, but now he looks very good and can walk around in the yard.

Su Rong and Shen Zhishu bowed together.

"Your Majesty, you always walk back and forth like this, which is a bit too monotonous. I know a kind of boxing that can stretch your muscles and strengthen your body. Why don't you practice a few moves with me?"

Su Rong strode over and smiled confidently.

When it comes to morning exercises for the elderly, there were so many different ways of doing them in her time, so wouldn't it be easy for her to please the emperor with just a little effort?

Shen Zhishu wants to come here to ask for benefits, but no way.

She wanted to give up her thoughts.
