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

Xiao Xizi said some flattering words again.

The implication is that she is a ruthless person since she was able to break into the Prince Qin's Mansion.

Moreover, this ruthless person has the support of the Queen.

Having said that, Shen Zhishu felt more confident and winked at Bitao.

Then he grabbed a handful of gold leaves and handed them to Xiao Xizi.

"Father-in-law, I am not able to move around easily, so I am afraid I will have to trouble you to take care of me in the future."

Who would complain about having too much money?

Shen Zhishu traveled light this time, and he didn't bring much with him, but he brought an unknown amount of silver.

Sure enough, the smile on Xiao Xizi's face deepened.

"Concubine Shen, you are too kind. I am a servant assigned to you by the Empress and the Prince. Whatever I do is my duty."

"Then I really have an important matter, and I would like to ask my father-in-law to help me find out."

As he spoke, he handed another bag of gold leaves to Xiao Xizi.

Now Xiao Xizi's hands began to tremble.

"Before I entered the palace, I heard that Nanny Zhang from Junhou Mansion was once a servant of Concubine Yue. Please help me find out how Nanny Zhang came to Junhou Mansion? And has she had any contact with Concubine Yue over the years?"

Shen Zhishu was not idle when he came to the palace.

Since Xiao Xizi was assigned by the prince and the queen, he is their own servant. Concubine Yue is hostile, and she bribed Xiao Xizi to investigate the enemy's affairs. Both the prince and the queen would be happy to see this happen, right?

Here, she should always let the queen see her value.

"I have plenty of money here, so just go ahead and do it. I only have one request, that you do it in secret and don't alert the enemy."

While Xiao Xizi was shocked, Shen Zhishu spoke again quietly.

Suddenly, Xiao Xizi felt that the gold leaf in his hand no longer smelled fragrant. It was so heavy that even his heart felt heavy.

After that, he knelt before the queen, holding two bags of gold leaves, and explained the whole matter.

He is the Queen's man, so of course Shen Zhishu has to report to his master whatever he does.

"Are you targeting Concubine Yue right after entering the palace? Am I, your daughter-in-law, too impatient?"

After saying that, he coughed twice weakly.

But because of the veil between us, we couldn't see how serious her illness was.

Xiao Xizi lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything nonsense at this time.

"Forget it. I am old now and I am powerless to do anything. Since she is willing, you should stay by her side and do your job well."

Then the queen waved her hand and asked everyone to leave.

Xiao Xizi knelt down quickly.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your reward."

In other words, all the gold leaves he got were his.

Just this bag of gold leaves is worth more than his annual salary.

No one thought much about her order.

But Xiaodie, after everyone had left, stayed beside Shen Zhishu and refused to leave.

"Master, do you know something about Concubine Yue?"

Only she seemed to have discovered something.

Shen Zhishu didn't expect her to react so quickly and be so smart.

After all, looking at her face, she doesn't look like she has a smart head.

Didn't she know something? Otherwise, why would she target Concubine Yue as soon as she entered the palace?

As the biological mother of Prince Shuo and the current emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Yue can be regarded as the most powerful woman in the palace.

If she could be eliminated, King Shuo's chances of competing for the crown prince position would be reduced by half.

But she actually knew a secret about Concubine Yue.

That was after the King of Qin ascended the throne in the previous life. King Shuo failed to seize the throne, and the King of Qin wanted to give him a fiefdom and send him to a distant place to be a leisurely king. However, Concubine Yue was unwilling to accept this and attempted to poison the King of Qin, which was later exposed by the old marquis of the Su family.

Prince Shuo and Concubine Yue were demoted to commoners and imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum, never to be allowed to leave.

In the end, Imperial Concubine Yue attacked the old marquis of the Su family and died under his knife. Before her death, she revealed a secret. It turned out that Imperial Concubine Yue and the old marquis had once had a love affair.

The most important thing is that the two have an illegitimate child, and only Concubine Yue herself knows where the child is.

She never told it until her death.

If this matter had been exposed in advance, then King Shuo would no longer be a threat to King Qin, right?

It would be best if the King of Qin could appoint a crown prince while the emperor is still alive so that he can rest assured as soon as possible.

"Noble Concubine Yue is Prince Shuo's biological mother. I am just worried that I will be targeted and unable to protect myself. I want to distract the prince, so I have to strike first."

"Then you can let me handle this matter. It would be better to give so much reward money to Eunuch Xi instead of giving it to me."

Xiaodie looked dissatisfied.

"You? Are you as capable as Xiao Xizi? Are you familiar with the situation in the palace?"

This girl is attracted by those gold leaves.

Shen Zhishu found it funny.

When Xiaodie heard this, she thought about it seriously for a while.

"This is my first time in the palace, so naturally I know nothing."

This is so obvious, is it worth thinking about it for so long?

Shen Zhishu thought she was really strange.

"If I can ever use you in the future, I will definitely reward you generously."

But I still calmed her down.

This Xiaodie has a simple personality and is quite likable.

"Okay, Master, please remember what you said."

She nodded seriously, her eyes shining, as if she was looking forward to the day when her master would be able to use her.

At night, Shen Zhishu simply took care of her skin and went to sleep.

A woman's beauty is cultivated, and she cannot be lazy for even a moment.

The next day.

Shen Zhishu waited at the door of the bedroom early in the morning, waiting to help the queen get up.

"Concubine Shen, the Queen has been feeling unwell these past few days and rarely gets up early. I'm afraid you've been waiting in vain."

The nanny guarding the palace gate was smiling and respectful, seeming very friendly.

"It is a daughter-in-law's duty to serve her mother-in-law. There is no such thing as waiting in vain. Yesterday, when I entered the palace, my mother sympathized with my physical condition and did not come to pay her respects. I should come today anyway."

Shen Zhishu responded with a smile, but he looked at the speaking nanny with curiosity in his eyes.

"This is Aunt Gui, who is in charge of the Madam's daily life."

Xiao Xizi was very considerate and introduced it from the side.

Shen Zhishu nodded gracefully.

The queen is of noble status and has more than one maidservant around her. Look at this maidservant, she is wearing gray clothes, which seem ordinary, but the material is luxurious. The jade hairpin on her head is also not ordinary, and she also wears a big gold bracelet on her wrist.

I think his status in this palace is not low.

But before they had time to talk more, an old eunuch came hurriedly from outside.

"Madam Gui, Imperial Concubine Yue and other concubines are here to visit the Empress. Go and report quickly."

"My mother has something important to do, so I will go back first."

When Shen Zhishu heard that the people coming were Concubine Yue and others, he decided to avoid them first.

"During the past few days when the queen was ill, she was exempted from paying respects to the palaces. The concubines have not come for a long time. I am afraid that their appearance today is not a good thing. Concubine Shen, why don't you go in with me to see the queen?"

She wanted to leave, but was stopped by Aunt Gui.
