"I am just a woman. I don't understand what your Majesty said, and I can't do anything about it."

"There is nothing I can do now. If you have the opportunity to enter the palace as a concubine in the future, then this cold palace will be your destination."

Concubine Yue knew that she was playing dumb, so she pointed it out to her directly.

She had just seen so many tragic events, and they were still fresh in her mind. She wouldn't forget them right away, would she?

No wonder she had such a bad taste, it turned out she was "reminding" herself.

After Shen Zhishu understood her intention, he felt amused.

As an enemy, Concubine Yue is trying to win me over?

"There are no absolute enemies in this world. As a woman, I can tell you from my own experience that you should think more about yourself. Living a good life is the most important thing."

She was originally disdainful.

Because she stood firmly on the side of King Qin and knew that he would win, she did not need to cooperate with anyone, nor would she be used by him.

But Concubine Yue's words touched her.

Therefore, the reason why she could become a favorite concubine and remain so popular for a long time was not only because of her beauty.

"Your Highness, what you said makes perfect sense, but I cannot possibly betray my husband. That would be a dead end."

"I won't let you go to a dead end, right?"

But Concubine Yue's smile deepened.

is not what it means?

So what exactly does she want to say?

"There is a long way to go. Let's stop here today. If you don't mind, you can come to my palace for tea some other day."

Shen Zhishu didn't understand it for a moment.

However, Concubine Yue waved her hand and was about to go home.

She walked around like this, but didn't even go to the backyard. She just walked casually in the deserted front yard.

It was not until they left that Xiaodie climbed over the wall of the cold palace.

"Master, was the Gou Wa incident arranged by Concubine Yue?"

"It doesn't look like it."

Concubine Yue seemed unaware of Gou Wa's existence.

"Just now when I took the silver in, Gou Wa insisted on coming out to thank you. I told him that Concubine Yue was also present. After he knew it, he immediately went back to his room and locked the door. I knocked on the door for a long time but he didn't respond."

Xiaodie also nodded, as if she thought so too.

"Later, an auntie came to tell me that if Concubine Yue knew of his existence, he would surely die."

The auntie she mentioned must have been one of His Majesty's concubines, right?

When Shen Zhishu heard this name, he inexplicably felt it was somewhat funny.

"That lady was kind-hearted and told me a lot about Gou Wa. Later, I gave her ten taels of silver as a thank you gift..."

Xiaodie pushed the wheelchair and the two went back together.

On the way, she whispered what she had heard.

Gou Wa's biological mother is the current emperor's Yue Changzai, who used to be the foot-washing maid of Concubine Yue. She was rewarded because the emperor favored her when he was drunk one time.

But she did not have a good life. She was appointed as a concubine for more than a month, but the emperor never summoned her. She continued to serve Concubine Yue, which naturally made Concubine Yue unhappy.

Later he was sent here.

When she came, no one knew she was pregnant, and she did not dare to show up easily. It was not until she gave birth to the child that people in the cold palace noticed it.

Children are always lovable. The cold palace was lonely and deserted, and everyone knew that Yue Changzai was as miserable as they were, so they helped her out and eventually raised Gou Wa to the present.

As for Yue Changzai's madness...

The aunt didn't say much, because in the cold palace, everyone is crazy.

"So he didn't lie."

Is this really your Majesty's child? Isn't that the King of Qin's brother?

His mother was sent here by Concubine Yue. I'm afraid that when she slept with His Majesty, Concubine Yue thought that it was Concubine Yue who seduced her.

However, the current emperor is weak and rarely enters the harem a year. Even if Gou Wa wants to recognize her, I am afraid that Concubine Yue will know about it in advance and kill him quietly.

"Everything matches up, but I can't tell if this is a coincidence."

A prince who was secretly born in the cold palace was discovered by them by chance? Isn't this too coincidental?

"Don't worry about that for now. If you have time in the future, come and secretly bring him some food and daily necessities. Don't let anyone find out."

"As you command, I think that Gou Wa is very capable despite his young age. That night, he was not afraid of the poisonous snake and even roasted it to eat. He even had medicine powder on his body..."

Xiaodie felt that even if she didn't help, the other person could still survive.

"If he didn't have some skills, how could he have survived until now?"

Shen Zhishu didn't care much about this.

In order to survive, people will be stimulated to unleash unlimited potential.

After a while, she returned to the Jiaomu Palace.

Seeing that it was still early and the lights in the main hall were on, she went over.

"Madame Gui, is the Queen Mother still awake?"

"I just drank the medicine and went to bed. If Concubine Shen has anything to do, come over tomorrow morning and have breakfast with the Empress."

Nanny Gui, who was about to leave, bowed to Shen Zhishu with a gentle and friendly attitude.

And he also reminded her twice.

Hearing this, Shen Zhishu thanked him sincerely and left.

Nanny Gui also stepped down and a new group of people took over to keep watch.

Inside the room, the queen was leaning on the bed, but her complexion was very good and there was no sign of illness.

"Noble Concubine Yue's people were watching very closely. Our people could not get close to the cold palace. We don't know what they talked about, but our people saw Noble Concubine Yue pushing Concubine Shen to the side of the well and almost sent her in. I think she was trying to intimidate her."

Nanny Du stood by the window and reported everything she saw tonight with an expressionless face.

After seeing Shen Zhishu leave, he turned around and walked to the queen.

The content of the conversation was unclear, but every move was watched carefully.

From the beginning to the end, Concubine Yue was arrogant and full of malice towards Shen Zhishu.

"Looking at her expression, she shouldn't be scared."

"If someone has the guts to compete with Su Rong for a man, she won't be as harmless as she looks."

The Queen was not surprised by this.

"If she can help me suppress Concubine Yue this time, I will help her get promoted in the future. Su Rong is too hot-tempered, disrespectful to her elders, and ignores the rules. I am powerless to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Zhishu, on the other hand, seems to be someone who is easy to get along with."

Her face was calm, and her words from beginning to end were like the still surface of water, without causing a single ripple.

"The Princess of Qin is indeed difficult to control."

Nanny Du made no comment on Shen Zhishu.

But Su Rong's personality is very distinct and can be understood at a glance.

"Is there any movement from Concubine Hui's side?"

The Queen changed the subject and asked about her "good sister".

"I'm afraid she is still testing the strength of the King of Qin. Her son is mediocre and brainless. If she chooses the wrong side, there will be no way out."

"I also know that she is not completely on my side, but I don't blame her. Everyone should think about themselves."

The Queen agreed, and sounded so kind and magnanimous.
