Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 471 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (39)

The reputation of the Yulin Guard has not been very good recently, and they have even been nicknamed "running dogs".

After a busy day, Shen Changhe returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife Cheng standing in the yard, pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Husband"

Cheng ran over, holding onto Shen Changhe's sleeve, and said nervously, "The Cheng family sent someone to deliver a message this morning, saying that my mother has been ill for a long time. I wonder if I can go back to the Cheng family to see her recently?"

Shen Changhe exclaimed, "My mother-in-law is ill? I saw that my father-in-law looked normal and didn't mention anything."

There is still a chance that the Yulin Guards and court officials will meet, and Shen Changhe is not a low-level soldier.

General Cheng's face was flushed and his voice was as loud as a bell every day when he went to court, and it was hard to tell that anything had happened at home.

Shen Changhe glanced at Cheng, who was somewhat evasive, with a hesitant look, and became more and more certain that there was something fishy.

"My dear, maybe my father doesn't want you and me to worry," Cheng racked her brains to come up with an excuse, "I didn't know my mother was ill before today, but the Cheng family has already sent me the news, and I can't let it go, so, so..."

Cheng opened her mouth, but couldn't say the following words.

Shen Changhe immediately shook off Cheng's grab on his sleeve and said, "You and I, as husband and wife, shouldn't be so hesitant.

Cheng, if you have something to say, just say it. "Is there something you cannot explain here?

Cheng: ...

Let’s not talk about it, there are some things that are hard to talk about. Cheng finally sighed and pulled Shen Changhe to the study room on the side of the yard.

Shen Changhe: ...Hmm?

Cheng pursed her lips and told the servants in the yard not to talk too much. Then she opened the door and pulled Shen Changhe to sit on the couch.

"Ms. Cheng, are you satisfied with this?" Shen Changhe felt a little unhappy, especially since the other party acted on his own without saying a word.

Cheng said nothing, and ran to the door to take a look. After making sure that no one else was eavesdropping, she patted her chest and walked over and said, "My husband, I lied to you, but my mother is from the Yuan family. If something happens to the Yuan family, we, as the younger generation, cannot ignore it."

Shen Changhe:……???

Shen Changhe raised his hand to interrupt Cheng's words. After carefully analyzing the core of the story, he said in shock, "Yuan family?"

It turns out that they are not talking about the Cheng family, but the Yuan family? What did the Yuan family do? !

Cheng shrank her neck, but she was not as cautious as she was outside the door. After all, she was born in a military family, and her temperament was more tenacious than that of ordinary women. "The Yuan family borrowed the name of the Shen family and did something that violated the laws of the Yu Kingdom.

After hearing this, my mother wanted to save the Yuan family. My father and eldest brother were not at home, and my eldest sister-in-law could not make the decision, so my mother asked me to find an opportunity to deliver a letter to the Cheng family. "

Of course, Cheng was unwilling to betray her own family for the sake of her mother-in-law's family, and she had been hesitating and dragging it out. The reason she chose today was because Mrs. Shen urged her too much, otherwise Cheng would not have done this.

Shen Changhe:……!!!

Shen Changhe covered his head with one hand and said, "No need to go. We can't get involved in the affairs of the Yuan family."

Rubbish! Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish!

Shen Changhe really wanted to send the Yuan family out of the capital. They were just bastards that only knew how to hold back. How many bewitching tricks had the Yuan family fooled his mother?

“Father and eldest brother are not in the capital, and eldest sister-in-law is pregnant and will not participate.

You are also stupid, can't you learn from your sister-in-law? "You usually look quite smart, why are you so stupid about this matter?

After hearing this, Cheng lowered her head with a look of grievance, thinking to herself, isn't it because she doesn't want to? It's just that Madam Shen thinks she's easy to bully.

If you dare to offend your sister-in-law, she will ask the doctor to take care of the fetus because of stomach pain.

It was a pity that she had not been able to get pregnant again since giving birth to Qing'er, otherwise she could have pretended to be unwell.

Seeing his wife so aggrieved, Shen Changhe unconsciously softened his voice to comfort her, "I was wrong in this matter, so don't worry about it, mother."

Cheng looked up and nervously twisted the handkerchief in her hands, "What if mother asks?"

When Shen Changhe is out, Cheng, as his daughter-in-law, needs to go to him to pay her respects every day. Due to her naturally disadvantaged status, sometimes Cheng has to swallow her anger.

Shen Changhe snorted when he heard this, "I won't ask, because the Yuan family can't get away.

The emperor has personally ordered the arrest and severe punishment of the perpetrators. Who dares to be partial and corrupt and let them off the hook?"

It takes courage to openly oppose the emperor.

Shen Changhe patted his sleeves and said, "I came back late these days because the Yulin Guards were busy.

Instead of worrying about the Yuan family, it is better to think carefully about whether the Shen family can survive this turmoil.

The emperor has issued a death order, and even begging the queen is useless," let alone the Cheng family.

The military generals of the Yu State knew all about their status. Even though the Shen family had been rising in recent years, it was because of the empress and the little prince in the palace.

If it were someone else, do you think the emperor would be willing to hand over the military power? Special cases do not represent the general situation, otherwise there would not be court officials jealous of the Shen family and jointly file a complaint, let alone lead to one incident after another, which was constantly expanded but could never be resolved.

Cheng's heart was lifted up by Shen Changhe's words, but then it fell heavily again.

Anyway, the mother-in-law can be fooled in this matter. As for whether the Shen family is safe or not, with the empress and the little prince in the palace, the emperor will have to give face to the Buddha even if he doesn't want to see the monks. He will never let the Shen family be responsible if anything happens.

"What about the Yuan family? Are you really not going to care? But they are the host's stepmother's family."

The system spoke in a strange tone, causing Shen Yao to roll her eyes.

"Implications? The Shen family can't possibly come to Furong Palace for the Yuan family. The emperor will only deal with it impartially this time and put on a show for others to see."

As for what will be the fate of the Yuan family, we can only wait and see the results of the final trial by the three courts.

If one is timid, not too greedy, and not deeply involved, he will simply be reprimanded and demoted. However, if one is extremely bold and does something bad that angers God and man, he may be demoted to a commoner, exiled to a remote frontier, or even beheaded and his entire family exterminated.

Who made the feudal society not prohibit the death penalty, and the laws of the State of Yu were too harsh.

In recent years, the State of Yu has indeed experienced various signs of chaos from top to bottom, but it has a strong foundation and is resilient, so at least it does not have to worry about being defeated.

This incident was like running into a trap. The emperor wanted to establish his authority and intimidate others, while Shen Yao wanted to remove the danger posed by the prince's relatives in advance and create a persona for herself and Yu Sheng. The two ultimately had the same goal, which led to the current situation.

Turning over on the couch, Shen Yao moved her numb wrist and asked the system to pay more attention to the situation in the Qianqing Palace if there was nothing else.

The system was puzzled, "What's so good about the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"

"Of course you have to find out the time for me to be crowned queen," Shen Yao raised her hand and looked at her rouge-colored nails against the light beside her. "Concubine He has been making trouble for nearly a month, and the emperor said he would promote her to a higher position to appease her. Concubine He and I are not much different, so there is no reason for him to leave her alone."

system:……

The system stopped talking and had obviously gone to the Qianqing Palace to wait for news.

Shen Yao had a calm expression on her face as she continued to look at her nails under the light.

Not to mention, this color looks particularly beautiful and delicate in the sunlight, which is very suitable for her mood at the moment.

…………

Li Guiquan took the evidence found by the officials of the three divisions and arrested people one by one and put them in jail. The Yulin Guards went out early and came back late every day, causing panic in the whole capital.

The emperor stayed in the Qianqing Palace most of the time, and went to Furong Palace for a small part of the time to rest. He got along with Shen Yao more and more warm and kind, and it was a bit like when Shen Yao first entered the palace.

However, Shen Yao knew that these were just appearances, and in reality the emperor had never been able to stop the killing.

The relatives in the royal palace were still related by blood, so their lives were saved.

Other court officials were not so lucky. They wanted to deny the evidence despite it being irrefutable. They should go and confess to the ancestors of the Yu State.

The two large vegetable markets outside the palace were filled with slaughtered heads at noon every day. The bloody stench filled the surrounding area for miles, and many people were so shocked that they had to move away to avoid it.

The system simply started running between Furong Palace and Qianqing Palace on a daily basis. Today it would lament the emperor's ruthlessness, tomorrow it would curse those people for being bad, and the next day it would be glad that it did not cause any trouble... It was even busier than its host, Shen Yao.

However, the system finally heard the emperor's compensation to the host.

It really is the decree to crown her as queen!

'The first day of next month'

The system came back excitedly with the exact date, only to find that the host was not excited at all.

Ugh?

'The second day of next month is the Emperor's birthday,' which seems to conflict with the New Year's Day. Every time something goes wrong it happens during the New Year's Day period, and this time is no exception.

The system belatedly replied "Yes", the host gave birth at the end of the year, and now the host also had a miscarriage at the end of the year.

"The situation on the border has been resolved. Father and elder brother should return to Beijing as soon as possible."

The emperor chose this time to issue the edict to confer the title of empress, which may be intended as a reward.

"Host is unhappy?" the system asked.

Shen Yao held her chin and looked out the window. "Happy, this is an expected result." That was all the joy she could muster.

Shen Yao called out "Xiao Ji" and went downstairs to ask if anything happened in the harem today.

Xiao Ji shook his head, "Except for a few concubines who were implicated by their families, everyone else is safe and sound."

The favor of the harem can influence the previous dynasty, and problems in the previous dynasty will also affect the harem.

The emperor has been selecting beauties for many years. To put it bluntly, many of them are hostages sent by their families. They cannot get any benefits from the palace, and they will also be in trouble if something happens outside the palace.

Shen Yao suddenly remembered the concubines who came to Furong Palace to cry a few days ago. The emperor arranged to send them to the cold palace and let them fend for themselves.

"Have those concubines left? Have someone keep an eye on them to prevent them from colluding with people outside the palace and causing us unnecessary trouble."

Don't blame Shen Yao for being cruel. It's impossible for Shen Yao to ask the emperor to keep them.

Although we are all little bitter gourds in the garden, the responsibilities we shoulder vary in weight.

If there are concubines whose families were destroyed and they are harboring revenge, does Shen Yao have to be on guard against them all the time?

Not to mention how much workload will be increased for no reason, just the family feuds among the concubines in the harem, if you stab me and I punch you, wouldn't it be a mess?

"Master, don't worry. Those people have already gone to the cold palace. I have already arranged for the cold palace staff and will never let them have any contact with the outside world."
