Emperor Ren De half-closed his eyes and looked down at Concubine Xiao Shufei who was already fast asleep, his voice was very calm.

"Keep watching me."

"I want to see how big a fish this long line can catch."

Eunuch Lai Fu nodded, "Yes, I understand."

"Minion, I will arrange it right away."

……

After hearing that Lan Ci was stabbed by Shen Shu, the Queen sat in the carriage with a livid face.

"What a bunch of idiots! How could she notice this?"

"Shen Shu, if you dare to hurt my son, I will make you suffer."

The carriage rushed all the way to the East Palace.

Fortunately, the East Palace and the Imperial Palace were not far away, and the carriage arrived at the Prince's Mansion in less than a quarter of an hour.

At this moment, in the private room of Mingshui Courtyard, Shen Shu was lying on the chaise longue, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Although the bloodstains on the ground had been cleaned up, she knew what was waiting for her next.

Sure enough, in less than an hour, the fire illuminated the entire Mingshui Courtyard.

Shen Shu got up and came out. Just as she was about to open the door to go out, the door was suddenly kicked open.

Under the light of torches, the queen, dressed in noble clothes, came in from outside.

Her face became increasingly frighteningly cold in the night.

When Shen Shu saw the queen's eyes that were as cold as frost, she knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant."

The queen looked around and signaled to the maids to close the door.

The door of the room creaked shut, the queen's face changed, and she walked towards Shen Shu step by step.

She remained silent, but Shen Shu, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but shiver.

Then, the strange breath was getting closer and closer. Just as Shen Shu was about to shrink back, she was slapped hard in the face.

"You are so brave, you dare to kill someone in the East Palace!"

"If Madam Zhang had been a little later, would you have cut Ci'er into pieces?"

The queen slapped Shen Shu in the face, causing her to fall to the ground.

Her cheeks were red, blood was oozing from the corners of her lips, and even her ears were buzzing.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her lips with her sleeves, gritted her teeth, and stared at the queen.

"I thought that the queen, who is the mother of the country, was really as gentle and virtuous as the people of Dayan said. I never thought that she was also a woman who loved to use dirty tricks."

"You are doing this to me, my prince, and His Majesty!"

As soon as Shen Shu finished speaking, the queen slowly squatted down and reached out to pinch her chin.

He said sarcastically, "If you hadn't been so unlucky and couldn't bear Jing'er, I wouldn't have taken this step."

"Shen Shu, if you want to enter the East Palace and be with Jing'er openly, you have to accept this method of mine."

"When you get pregnant, you can pass the child on to the Crown Prince's wife."

"Otherwise, if Jing'er can't ascend to the throne in the future, you can forget about following him peacefully."

"You have given your body to another man now. Tell me...if Jing'er wakes up and finds out, will he dislike you?"

The Queen's words made Shen Shu's heart tighten and her body tremble slightly.

She opened her eyes wide and stared at the queen, feeling helpless and helpless.

"My Queen, you can't do this to me."

"You can't do this to my brother, the prince."

"I am the prince's woman, and I don't want to serve other men."

"You also want my future child to be adopted by someone else. You can't do this."

The queen sneered, raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Shu lightly.

"Now, you have no choice."

"I want you to get pregnant as soon as possible, so that Jing'er can sit firmly on the throne of Crown Prince."

"If you really care about Jing'er, why not serve Ci'er?"

"Shen Shu, as long as you have a child in your belly, there will be a place for you in the East Palace."

"I promise you that when the world is settled in the future, Jing'er will make you the Crown Princess."

"Otherwise, you will have no choice but to get out of the East Palace and be abandoned by Jing'er in the end."

After the queen finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. However, just after she took two steps, the hem of her skirt was grabbed by Shen Shu.

She pleaded, "Queen, please tell Shu'er, is the Crown Prince's health... OK?"

"Yes or no…"

The words stopped abruptly, and Shen Shu subconsciously looked up at the queen.

The Queen looked indifferent and said quietly, "It's just what you think."

"If he hadn't been poisoned, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to resort to such means."

"Shen Shu, you should understand my good intentions."

"Don't worry, no one else knows about this except me, and even if they do, they won't dare to tell anyone."

Shen Shu was silent for a while and slowly closed her eyes.

With a painful expression, she opened her eyes and looked at the queen.

"If the Crown Prince is truly unable to produce children, he will have no chance of becoming the Emperor in the future."

Thinking of this, she begged, "I am willing. I am willing to sacrifice myself for my brother, the Crown Prince."

"As long as you can help my brother, the Crown Prince, to secure his position as the Crown Prince, I am willing to do anything."

She knelt on the ground with red eyes, her body trembling slightly, and she sobbed.

When the queen saw her like this, her attitude improved slightly.

She leaned over and helped Shen Shu up.

"My dear Shu'er, this palace and the prince will not treat you unfairly."

"If you get pregnant in the future, the child will still be the noble Crown Prince."

"Jing'er, you will never know. I will keep this a secret for you for the rest of your life."

Shen Shu sobbed, bit her lips tightly, and nodded slowly.

If that man had not been somewhat similar to the prince, she really would not have agreed.

The queen helped the man to sit on the bed with a smile on her face.

"During these days, you should listen to our arrangements carefully. If Ci'er is alright, you should serve him well."

"If you want to be with Jing'er, if you want to be in the East Palace, you should be more careful and don't let others notice."

Shen Shu nodded repeatedly, thinking that everything she was doing now was a sacrifice for the prince.

All this was done for Murong Jing to secure his position as the crown prince, and the guilt in his heart immediately dissipated.

On the second night, Lan Ci arrived on time as expected, but he was injured last night. He was fine after being bandaged and the bleeding was stopped.

The door of the private room was opened, and Shen Shu was lying in the dimly visible bed curtains with an expressionless face.

Lan Ci walked over excitedly, "Shu'er."

"Can I call you Shu'er?"

Shen Shu didn't say a word to him, but just pointed to the end of the bed.

"roll."

"If you dare to reveal even a word, I will definitely kill you."

"It will also expose your identity."

Lan Ci's face froze, then he suddenly laughed.

"You can't threaten me."

"You should understand the principle of burning your boats. You and I are in the same boat."

……

Yu Zian was secretly observing the scene in the East Palace and had a general idea of ​​it.

However, he had just been treating the prince for a few days and did not dare to send a message to Shen Mi.

He could only leave the East Palace under the pretext of looking for precious medicinal herbs and go to deliver a message to Shen Mi, hoping to see her again and tell her about the matter.

The bustling market is filled with constant noise.

After Yu Zian went to find some precious medicinal herbs, he went straight to Wangjing Tower.

In the chic private room, I pushed the door open and saw Yun Lan waiting there.

"Mr. Yu, I have waited for you."

"My lady asked me to stay here today and wait for news from Master Yu."
