Chapter 458 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (26)
"Your servant pays respects to Empress Xin Zhaoyi."
Li Guiquan had a smiling face, and behind him were eunuchs carrying trays.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I hope you are well, Manager Li."
Li Guiquan is a really smart guy. The people around Yu Yu have suffered a lot of losses recently, but he has been there all the time. It can be seen that he is a very smart person.
"Empress Xin Zhaoyi, these are the gifts that the Emperor ordered me to select for you. Please take a look."
After saying this, Li Guiquan took a step back and signaled the eunuchs behind him to bring up the tray and parade it in front of Shen Yao.
Xiaoji took the opportunity to point to the stone table beside him and told them to put the things there and they would deal with them themselves later.
"Empress Xin Zhaoyi, if there is nothing else, I will return to the Qianqing Palace to report to the Emperor."
"Manager Li, wait a minute."
Shen Yao asked Li Guiquan to stay and asked about the emperor's recent mood, especially the things happening in and outside the palace. "I also heard that the two sons of Prince Cheng are sick. Children are very young and are most likely to catch a cold and get frightened. I wonder if they are getting better?"
Li Guiquan exclaimed, "Your Majesty, children are weak, but the Emperor has arranged for the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to diagnose and treat them. I believe it won't be long before the two young princes will be well again."
Shen Yao said "oh" and waved her hand with a smile, asking Xiaofu to send Li Guiquan off for her. "I accidentally delayed Manager Li's time. I hope Manager Li won't blame me."
Li Guiquan grinned, "Your Majesty is too polite. It is a blessing for me to be able to talk to you."
Xiaofu took the opportunity to point outside the door and said, "Manager Li, please come this way."
"Miss Xiaofu, please." Li Guiquan returned the greeting with his arm around the whisk.
Everyone turned around and left until Xiaoji asked Shen Yao if she was going back to the house.
"No, I'll stay outside for a while. You take people to register these gifts into the warehouse." Shen Yao waved her hand to let Xiaoji leave first. She lightly touched her slightly bulging belly and walked back and forth around the courtyard.
There was no one around, and the system, which had been patient for a while, jumped out, "Host, host, what did you just say to Li Guiquan mean?"
Ask King Cheng's son if this incident is related to King Cheng, but not much. It's mainly because of those dishonest followers, with the focus on the ambitious Grand Tutor Zhou.
"It's nothing, just a quick chat. From what Li Guiquan said, the emperor doesn't plan to kill Prince Cheng's son for the time being, so the others will be in trouble. Guess who the scapegoat might be?"
system:……
The system tilted its head and pondered for a while, and finally fixed its gaze on the imperial concubine and the Zhou family.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao shook her head, "Not them."
System: Hmm? No?
"Grand Tutor Zhou is not honest, and the Imperial Concubine is not honest either." Both Concubine De and the Queen can say whatever they want, so how can the Imperial Concubine escape this?
"You also said that if Concubine De and the Empress were gone at any time, then the Imperial Concubine, who lives in the palace, would live or die at the Emperor's discretion, right?" The Emperor was not in a hurry to start with the Imperial Concubine, because she was like fish on the chopping board, and he could chop her up whenever he wanted.
'Others are different. This opportunity gives the emperor something to hold on to. For example, some old foxes can clean up their tails, but what about the group of young people behind them? They dared to set traps before their fur had even grown out, so they are doomed.
system:……
"And Prince Dun, this guy is very well hidden, and he has nothing to do with this incident, would you believe it?"
Not only was he himself clean, but the people around him were also very clean, which was totally unlike the behavior of the royal family of the Yu State.
There must be something wrong when things are not normal. It is not that Shen Yao wants to make trouble for Prince Dun, but the entire royal family of Yu Kingdom is of the same character. Expecting a drama of good bamboo shoots coming out of a bad bamboo is as difficult as climbing to the sky in one step.
'The host thinks that the emperor will target Prince Dun, or the old fox who usually hides deeply.' Some people who can be easily controlled on the surface will be let off this time.
"It's not that they were let off lightly. Batches of people died in the palace, and those forces spent money and time in vain. The key is that they cannot be exposed." Apart from the resentment of being plotted against and the anger of being fooled in the beginning, the emperor should give these people a cooperation award.
"Just wait. There may be a lot of incidents outside the palace these days. If nothing unexpected happens, the Shen family will rise."
Facts have proved that Shen Yao's words were very accurate. After several court officials who held low positions but real power were demoted by the emperor, Shen Chunbai of the Shen family was promoted from a deputy general of the second rank to a general of the first rank, and by the way, he also got real military power.
Although his two sons, Shen Changyu and Shen Changhe, did not receive a promotion, they thrived in the Yulin Guards and even had the support of Shen Yao. They could occasionally meet the emperor, and the potential benefits they could get were much more useful than a promotion or a salary increase.
It is also because of this that Shen Changyu and Shen Changhe, two older young men, are very popular in today's blind date market. Together with the unmarried Shen Rong, they are the focus of matchmakers' inquiries.
After all, every family has a young man or woman of marriageable age. Sacrificing a younger generation to successfully marry into the Shen family is not a loss for them regardless of whether it succeeds in the end. Even if they do, it is just the loss of a younger generation (it can be seen that the ancient clans were quite cold-blooded).
"Sister, the two marriages in our family are basically settled now, and they will be completed in two years at most.
Father and elder brother asked me to tell you that you don't have to worry about us all the time. Your life in the palace is not easy. We heard about what happened at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet before, and we were so anxious that we didn't know what to do. "
Before the weather got cold, Shen Rong and Madam Shen were summoned to the palace to meet again.
Mrs. Shen became extremely well-behaved at this moment. She sat there quietly without saying a word the whole time. It was Shen Rong who pulled Shen Yao aside and talked freely. It was as if she had become a different person.
"The marriages of my eldest and second brothers have been arranged, and my third sister will soon find a good husband. I will feel more at ease in the palace in the future," Shen Yao was satisfied with Shen Chunbai's efficiency.
He knows there is no need to drag it out any longer, he is not greedy, and he knows when to stop. He is a good partner.
"Please also tell father and eldest brother that they don't need to worry too much about the affairs in the palace. With the emperor here, they won't dare to do anything."
The royal heir in Shen Yao's belly is her greatest guarantee, and no one can take him down no matter how many means they have.
The main purpose of Shen Rong's visit to the palace this time was to confirm Shen Yao's mental state and physical condition. Seeing that she could eat and drink, and did not have any anxiety and depression of a pregnant woman, Shen Rong felt relieved.
To be honest, it's not that no one in the Shen family is pregnant. Shen Rong has witnessed the birth of several half-brothers and half-sisters. It's no exaggeration to say that her sister's current situation is far better than those concubines in the mansion. As long as she can give birth to the royal heir in her belly successfully, the status of their Shen family will be largely secured.
As for the remaining half, everything will be settled only when the little prince grows up and takes over the high position.
Madam Shen and Shen Rong stayed in Furong Palace for a while. If the palace gate had not been closed, Shen Rong would have been reluctant to leave.
"Sister, take good care of yourself. Remember to tell your family if anything happens."
Shen Rong looked at the palace behind her and felt that no matter how luxurious it was, it could not cover up the loneliness inside. Perhaps because she would have to get married in the future, Shen Rong understood Shen Yao especially well. Her sister had suffered a lot for the Shen family.
Shen Yao: ...Although, it is not
After watching Mrs. Shen and Shen Rong leave safely, Shen Yao returned to the couch to rest.
Xiaofu brought a thick blanket to cover her, and Shen Yao casually asked the emperor.
"Master, the emperor went to the Lanxin Palace," Xiaofu said after thinking for a moment.
Shen Yao closed her eyes slightly, placed her hand on the front of her forehead and rubbed it slowly, "Zheng Xiurong lives in Lanxin Palace, and the emperor doesn't like to go there on weekdays."
Xiaofu nodded, "The imperial concubine is ill, and the master is pregnant. Zheng Xiurong and others will be temporarily responsible for assisting in the management of the six palaces. Also, Deng Chongyuan of Yuqing Palace is too seriously ill, and it seems that she will only be ill in the next few days." If nothing unexpected happens, Zheng Xiurong will definitely be in charge, after all, she is the daughter of a grand scholar.
Shen Yao said, "Is Deng Chongyuan's condition really incurable?"
Xiaofu said with certainty, "He is exhausted and there is no way to save him."
It was basically known to everyone that the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau had made a fatal decision.
Shen Yao sighed, "It's been less than half a year since we entered the palace," and already one of us is gone, it's really tragic.
Deng Chongyuan did not commit any unforgivable mistakes. Even the disputes were mostly verbal quarrels. The most serious one was the slap and punishment from the imperial concubine, which resulted in the end of a young life.
"Master, Deng Chongyuan's affairs have nothing to do with us. She is a person who doesn't think before doing anything." Even if she can get through this safely, there will be another trap waiting for her to fall into next time.
Xiaofu didn't finish his words, but Shen Yao understood that Deng Chongyuan was not suitable for the harem. Rather than saying that the palace was cannibalizing people, it was more accurate to say that the Deng family also gave a push.
"I just feel that things in the world are unpredictable, and people come and go in this palace." If you want to live long, you must either be knowledgeable and interesting, or be gifted. If you don't have either, you'd better give up challenging the harem copy as soon as possible.
In an era where nothing can be changed, obedience seems to be the most appropriate way out.
Three days later, Deng Chongyuan of Yuqing Palace died.
The funeral ceremony was under the charge of Zheng Xiurong, and the regulations were all in accordance with normal standards.
After these procedures were completed, Zheng Xiurong was slightly ill for a few days.
The absence of one person in the palace had no impact on the concubines.
Even within half a month after Deng Chongyuan left, He Cairen in the palace became He Meiren. All the concubines in Jiangnan were delighted by this and they all targeted the emperor who frequently went in and out of the harem, and used various means to try to win his favor.
The emperor naturally accepted everyone who came to him. After all, he was a person who liked beautiful women. Even if Shen Yao was pregnant, it did not stop him from doting on her.
What's more, Shen Yao's pregnancy gave the emperor confidence and made him more eager for the number of royal heirs. He thought that if there were a few more concubines with the same luck as Concubine Xin, wouldn't it be safer?
The concubines vying for favor may have thought so in their hearts: if Xin Zhaoyi could get pregnant, why couldn't they? They would definitely give it a try.
"So the harem is quite lively? That's good. The emperor has no shortage of beauties around him, so I can rest assured," At least I don't have to hesitate when taking action. The emperor is really a good man.
