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

"I have always believed that Concubine Yue is a smart and insightful person, otherwise she wouldn't have acted out that kind of drama just now. I thought you knew what I was thinking long ago, so you wouldn't blame me."

Concubine Yue chuckled.

"As expected, she is the queen's daughter-in-law after all, and my heart is always with her."

Her tone sounded very lost, but her expression was still proud and she had a faint smile on her face.

"Your Highness is preparing for the birthday banquet. How is the preparation going?"

Shen Zhishu didn't explain either, because Concubine Yue was just speaking casually.

There are only seven or eight days left until the birthday party.

"Of course everything is in place. We'll act according to your plan and I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised."

Concubine Yue was very careful, and seemed to be saying, since she was the one making the preparations, what was there to worry about?

"That's good. I'm leaving here today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you for some time. So let's each do our own thing and see you at the birthday banquet."

"Don't trick me."

Hearing her say that she would not come soon, Concubine Yue became even more worried.

Shen Zhishu smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, madam. This is not the last time we meet. We should still interact more often in the future. If I betray you, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"

If I cheat you, I will cheat you so hard that you will never be able to turn things around.

I don't even want to see you make fun of me by making a small fuss.

As for Concubine Yue, apart from finding evidence that she had committed adultery and given birth to a child, she didn't want to do anything else.

Wait until you walk out of the Zhaohua Palace.

Shen Zhishu deliberately covered her face with a silk scarf.

The blood-stained gauze on the legs was placed on the outside and in the most conspicuous place.

From Zhaohua Palace to Jiaomu Palace, as many palace maids and eunuchs passed by, and as many people saw it.

Everyone knew that Concubine Shen and Concubine Yue had a falling out.

But the story is not over yet.

When she returned to the Jiaomu Palace, she saw palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground in a huge crowd.

In the courtyard, there was a senior eunuch whom she had never met before, but she could tell at a glance that he had an extraordinary status.

"Concubine Shen is finally back. I am here to deliver your instructions on the orders of His Majesty, but I have been waiting for you for quite some time."

This eunuch was not young at all. He looked to be at least 60 years old, with a bent back and a slightly broad and fat body. His face was painted pale and lip balm was applied. His eyes were narrowed into slits, and he looked mysterious.

"I'm sorry to have kept Eunuch Cui waiting for so long."

Secretary Shen took a look at him and could roughly guess his identity.

The person who can convey the emperor's oral order and is dressed like this must be the eunuch Cui Gonggong, the chief eunuch of the palace.

Eunuch Cui, whose identity was revealed, just narrowed his eyes and saluted her without any expression.

Although he has a relatively high status in the palace, the master is the master and the servant is the servant, and they must always observe the necessary etiquette.

Soon, Shen Zhishu, with the help of Xiaodie, got out of the wheelchair and knelt on the ground to receive the order.

Seeing this, Eunuch Cui's expression eased slightly.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the servants of the Jiaomu Palace have not followed the rules, and have spread rumors and caused trouble everywhere, causing panic among the people. From today on, no one is allowed to leave the Jiaomu Palace. Since Concubine Shen is in charge of the Jiaomu Palace, I hope she can control all the servants."

Well, this is clearly telling her not to investigate those cases anymore.

He didn't say explicitly that she would be put in solitary confinement, probably because he was very considerate of her reputation.

Otherwise, if word got out that she was punished by His Majesty, the King of Qin would also be embarrassed.

The punishment was lighter than I expected.

His Majesty the Emperor seems to be a good person.

"Your son will obey your father's order..."

She kowtowed quickly to express her gratitude.

"Concubine Shen, the palace is not like the royal residence. I hope you will take care of yourself."

Eunuch Cui had a calm expression.

But he still gave two reminders for the first time.

In fact, His Majesty is already very angry, but it is not convenient to punish you.

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Cui."

Shen Zhishu nodded, showing an expression of repentance and reflection.

Then he took the opportunity to stuff some gold leaves into his pocket.

This is a necessary courtesy. It's worth spending money to buy convenience and goodwill.

Eunuch Cui's expression softened a little. After conveying the order, he went back home.

It’s a pity for the servants of Jiaomu Palace. From today on, they are not allowed to take even a single step out.

But what can be done? The only way to stop this is to make a big fuss about it, alarm His Majesty, and have His Majesty issue an order to investigate Concubine Yue.

When the Queen comes back, even if she wants to question him, His Majesty is watching, so she won't be able to do anything, right?

But these people may have complaints.

Shen Zhishu glanced at them, and Bitao immediately took out her purse and distributed the money to everyone one by one.

"I will inconvenience you all these days, please do not run away."

Two gold leaves per person are equivalent to their monthly salary for half a year.

Such a generous reward has never been seen in the Jiaomu Palace.

So in an instant, those servants who were somewhat resentful turned from sadness to joy, and even thought that if they could have more gold leaves, what would be the harm in keeping him locked up for a few more days?

The news that Shen Zhishu was put in solitary confinement soon reached Su Rong's ears.

Although she was not tied up at this time, she still wanted to die.

When she heard that Shen Zhishu not only offended Concubine Yue and was slapped in the face, but was also punished by His Majesty, she felt very happy.

"This is a good opportunity. Take advantage of the fact that Jiaomu Temple is in solitary confinement to kill her."

She had always had the idea of ​​assassination.

"Princess, maybe Concubine Yue has already started to deal with her? Should we wait a little longer?"

Qianyue tried desperately to stop him.

If the assassination took place in the palace, she would never stop it, but that was the imperial palace.

If the assassin is caught, it will be hard to explain.

"Noble Concubine Yue is ruthless. If Concubine Shen offends her, she will surely die miserably."

Qianyue continued to persuade.

Su Rong really hesitated for a second.

But I still stick to my own ideas.

"No, I can't have this kind of fluke mentality. No one can be relied on. I can only rely on myself."

Then he resolutely went out to find the killer.

When Yan Chu learned that Shen Zhishu had made a mistake in the palace and was punished, he went to Jiaomu Palace after court.

The door was closed and no one was walking around here, it looked very deserted.

He thought Shen Zhishu must be extremely scared at the moment, and he estimated that when he saw him, he would probably cry and ask to go home.

But when I arrived at the side hall, I saw her moving around in the corridor, just like she did that day.

My steps became much lighter, I walked slower, and I no longer limped.

"Your Majesty."

Especially after seeing him, I smiled so happily.

So she is not as weak as she thinks.

Yan Chu felt indescribable awkwardness when he saw her like this.

"Your leg……"

But he still walked over with a normal expression.

"I've recovered very well. Now I can walk around like this without any problem."

Shen Zhishu pushed Xiaodie away and walked towards Yan Chu step by step.

In his eyes, he was walking faster than before, so she was so eager to get to his side.
