After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The queen took everyone away.

Eunuch Gao waved his hand, and the remaining eunuchs and palace maids all walked out with their heads lowered.

Only the emperor, Shen Jinyao and eunuch Gao were left in the room.

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Gao, who immediately understood and followed him out.

Shen Jinyao watched all these operations and her eyes turned cold.

What kind of secret is it that an emperor wants to stay in the same room with an unmarried daughter of a marquis?

Shen Jinyao pursed her lips and said nothing. She met the emperor's inquiring gaze.

The emperor looked at Shen Jinyao from head to toe with great interest.

He thought of the news from Wuhe Village.

It is said that Shen Jinyao is brave and resourceful. She not only helped the Shen family to seize the house, but also allowed the Shen family to gain a foothold in Wuhe Village.

On the road to exile, all difficulties were solved because of Shen Jinyao.

Everyone in Wuhe Village admired her.

Plus the mysterious mine in her hands.

If he were a man, he would definitely make Shen Jinyao loyal to the royal family.

What a pity, what a pity.

Just a girl.

Then we can only keep her in the harem.

He also heard everything that Shen Jinyao had just said to the Queen.

Shen Jinyao is indeed not an ordinary woman.

She was very sober.

He has the decisiveness of a man.

Today, he wants to see if Shen Jinyao is the same as the legend says.

If she really has the ability, talent, and even the secrets of the mine, then he will not let her go back today.

Wait until Shen Jinyao submits to him both physically and mentally, and then let her confess everything.

He stared at Shen Jinyao's face for a while. Although it was a bit plain, she was still a beautiful lady.

He felt something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Jinyao's eyes.

Staring at him.

That look was fierce.

When he looked into it more carefully, Shen Jinyao's eyes had changed.

Finally, the emperor broke the strange atmosphere between the two.

"I heard that you are very talented?"

Shen Jinyao was standing at this time and lowered her head when she heard this.

"I dare not. These are just some ways of survival out of desperation."

Shen Jinyao stopped talking and didn't give the emperor any chance to continue.

The emperor really didn't expect Shen Jinyao to answer like this.

After all, the "helplessness" that Shen Jinyao mentioned was all due to the decision he made as the emperor.

This shows that Shen Jinyao still blames him.

In other words, the Shen family blames him.

He narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, it is necessary to pull the Shen family into one's own camp.

Even if it is not from his own camp, he must be from the eldest prince's camp.

Apart from that, other aristocratic families either stood on his side or on the side of the eldest prince.

Currently, the only ones who clearly support the prince are Xiang Hongxuan and the Shen family.

The rest are just small officials with no real power.

The eldest prince is a fool, and he takes after the queen.

But the third prince is not.

He used the eldest prince and the third prince to check and balance each other. When the two fought fiercely, he could stay in this position for a few more years.

Originally, Pan Ye was the best candidate.

But... Pan Ye will never come back.

Useless things.

He thought of Pan Ye's defense of Shen Jinyao in the letter, and looked at Shen Jinyao carefully again.

"Haha, being able to think of these things is already very smart."

"I've seen the second daughter of the Shen family before, but I didn't know the eldest daughter of the Shen family was so outstanding."

If it were someone else, Shen Jinyao would have gone up and beat that person until he was speechless without saying a word.

But this is not someone else, this is the most powerful man in Kyushu.

It is frivolous for a man to say such words to a woman.

Shen Jinyao didn't want to give the emperor any chance to take advantage of her. She stared at the smiling emperor with a wooden face.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words."

Seeing that Shen Jinyao was not understanding, the emperor lost interest in teasing her.

"Haha, I am the ruler of a country. My words are the golden rule. Where does the saying of being cautious in what you say come from?"

Shen Jinyao said, "Your Majesty, did you come here right after court? Did you send everyone away just to tell me this?"

Shen Jinyao is challenging the emperor's bottom line.

She just wanted to provoke him and see what he was up to.

Why on earth did you have such thoughts?

The emperor's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he glared at Shen Jinyao angrily.

He just stared at Shen Jinyao and saw that she looked calm.

He suddenly thought of something and the coldness on his face eased.

"Haha, so what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

In fact, he had not yet left the court.

He deliberately trapped Shen Maoshan and Shen Zhizheng in the palace so that if anything happened, the Shen family would not come to rescue Shen Jinyao.

Seeing that the emperor was not angry yet, Shen Jinyao continued to play riddles with her.

So she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. I should go back."

The two of them stayed in the same room for such a long time. If someone with ulterior motives found out and spread the news, who knows what would happen.

When the emperor saw Shen Jinyao, he just said one word and was about to open the door and leave.

He shouted, "How dare you go out there!"

After saying that, he strode up to Shen Jinyao.

Shen Jinyao realized that the emperor was skilled in martial arts.

Moreover, his skills are pretty good.

Otherwise, it would only take a few steps to reach the door, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Shen Jinyao touched the dagger at her waist. If the emperor really didn't care about his face at all, she could only kill him.

As for the Shen family, Shen Jinyao could only think of another way.

After all, if the emperor is dead, the prince will become the one in charge. At that time, the Shen family will definitely be able to survive.

However, Shen Jinyao still had some sanity left.

Try not to get to the point where both sides are destroyed.

The emperor knew that Shen Jinyao was not an ordinary woman and had some skills.

He also didn't want the two of them to have an ugly quarrel.

But he didn't expect Shen Jinyao to be so ungrateful and not treat him as the emperor at all.

It's strange that the Shen family could raise such a rebellious daughter.

The emperor thought of his purpose and softened his tone.

He stood in front of Shen Jinyao and said, "Since you are anxious to go home, then tell me where did those seeds of yours come from?"

Shen Jinyao had already made some preparations. "Of course, I got it from the Western Regions."

The Emperor did not ask further questions and continued, "What about the mines?"

Shen Jinyao clenched her hands tighter.

It turned out that the emperor knew about the mine, but judging from his tone, he didn't know much.

The prince is such a loser, even such a small thing could be found out.

Shen Jinyao was filled with anger and had no place to vent because of the man who was getting closer and closer to her.

She touched the dagger at her waist and was about to take it out when there was a commotion outside.

"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty here?"

"Queen, I want to see the Emperor."

"Noble Lady Ning, you really don't let me have peace. Why are you trying to show your courtesy to the Emperor today?"

It turned out to be Lady Ning...

Shen Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief. She finally arrived, but why could it be Concubine Ning?
