After Cao Min left, Shen Zhi began to read the book on the desk that he hadn't finished reading yesterday.But not long after, Shen Zhi felt that his body was a little abnormal.

On weekdays, Shen Zhi reads books carefully, almost every word is carefully considered.But now, for some reason, her eyes are always a little erratic.No matter how hard Shen Zhi tried, she couldn't fully focus on the book, and she always lost focus after reading a few words.

Not only that, but she, who has always been relatively calm and composed, started to feel agitated for no reason, and her head was a little dizzy, as if there was an unknown flame burning in her heart and body, but she couldn't find it to extinguish. A way to vent.

Realizing that something was wrong, Shen Zhi closed the book in his hand and threw it aside, then tried to stand up from the ground while propping up the table.Just now she was sitting on her knees, not thinking of herself

Her legs lost strength in such a short period of time, and this sudden stop made her almost lose her balance and fall backwards.

Fortunately, Shen Zhi's reaction was quite quick this time. She clasped the edge of the table with both hands, and when her legs were straightened and her body was stable, she slowly let go of her hands and walked towards the door.

Shen Zhi has gotten used to the weakness of her legs now, but although she is still not unable to stand up, her legs still tremble a little between her steps.She tried her best to speed up her pace, trying to call someone to find Du Qinning to come in, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was already extremely hoarse.

Shen Zhi supported the palace pillar in the middle of the road to stop, stretched out his hand to hold his heart that was already beating wildly, his back felt cold, and a guess could not help but pop up in his mind.

Could it be that sending Xiliang women over to have children with me is just a pretense, and letting them find opportunities to put poison in their meals is the real purpose of Brother Jin?Did Brother Jin think that even if he couldn't put me to death, he would make me disabled, unable to walk or speak?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi narrowed his eyes helplessly.

Yes, at that time, even if she was still alive, she could no longer carry the Shen family's mountains and rivers; even if she was still alive, she could only watch the mountains and rivers fall into Shen Tai's hands.

But what's the difference between that and killing her?Wouldn't it be the same as her sudden death in the palace without a reason, that she would arouse suspicion?Taking the same risk, why didn't Shen Tai just kill her directly?

Just when Shen Zhi was thinking endlessly, suddenly a hug that was extremely cold compared to her body hugged her from behind.That person's body was full of rouge powder smell, although it was a fragrance, but Shen Zhi felt extremely uncomfortable smelling it.

She subconsciously wanted to shake it off, but now she was completely powerless, and she couldn't raise her internal strength.With all her strength, the person behind her flung away, but she also rushed forward and fell straight to the ground.

"Your Highness..." Seeing that Shen Zhi fell, the person behind her was also anxious, and quickly stepped forward and knelt down beside her, reaching out to help her up.

Shen Zhi was half on his stomach, with his elbows propped on the ground, trying to raise his eyes to look at the man.Sure enough, as she expected, that person was Xia Zi, the only Xiliang woman she had left in the East Palace.

Seeing her, Shen Zhi also understood that Shen Tai didn't want her to become disabled, but knew that she would not compromise easily, so he used shady tricks to force her to do what he wanted to see.

But she never allowed palace people to come in and out of her bedroom at will, not even Cao Min who has been serving her for many years. When did this Xiliang woman come here and how did she get in?

Enduring the intense dry discomfort in his throat, Shen Zhi lowered his head, frowned tightly, and asked coldly, "Who...who let you in?" Although she knew that Xia Zi probably wouldn't say it, but she Still want to ask.

At this time, Shen Zhi's head became more and more dizzy, his strength was no longer as good as before, and his consciousness gradually began to blur.At first, I thought Xia Zi should be happy to see her like this, but Shen Zhi heard her crying voice: "Your Highness... I'm sorry, and the girl doesn't want to... I'm sorry..."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi, who was already almost desperate, suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart.She stretched out a hand to hold Xia Zi's hand towards her, but she didn't get up, but said with some difficulty: "Xia Zi, you...can you let go of your loneliness? From now on, you will stay...in the East Palace, Gu...Gu will definitely keep you safe, give you...give you glory and wealth..." After finishing speaking, Shen Zhi couldn't stop coughing violently a few times.

What Shen Zhi was really worried about was not his innocence or the issue of heirs. Anyway, both of them were women. Even if she had been drugged, it was impossible for Xia Zi to really do anything to her.On the contrary, it's about her being a daughter. If Xia Zi finds out, it will be the biggest trouble.

In her current state, she has no choice but to be manipulated by Xia Zi.Once Xia Zi learns that the truth has come out of this palace, and the outsiders know nothing about the affairs in the palace and will not stop her, she will tell Shen Tai to arrange the eyeliner in the East Palace or the people outside to meet her, and Shen Tai will follow. will also know about it.

Then she was defeated without a fight.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty... Minnen can't promise you..." While speaking, Xia Zi tightened Shen Zhi's hand holding her.

Shen Zhi was thin and weak, and 15 years old was not very old, Xia Zi put on the other hand, and with some strength, he pulled Shen Zhi up from the ground who could no longer help himself.

Lying behind Xia Zi, Xia Zi half carried her and walked towards the bed, Shen Zhi wanted to resist, but he couldn't use his strength, he couldn't even do something as simple as shouting.

It would be great if the imperial concubine was here, she would definitely have a solution.Before the last bit of consciousness disappeared, Shen Zhi thought in a daze.

On the other side, inside the Penglai Hall.

After Shen Zhi left, Liu Shuyan called the three Xiliang women and Shuangyu into her bedroom, and all the others were rejected.Liu Shuyan took the seat, Shuangyu stood behind her, and the three Xiliang women sat a little further away from her.

Originally, the three of them looked very calm at first, but after about two quarters of an hour, Liu Shuyan still just looked at them blankly, without saying a word.They didn't know what Liu Shuyan wanted to do, nor could they guess what Liu Shuyan was going to do to them, so they panicked.

At this time, Liu Shuyan's inexplicable smile made them even more startled: "Shuangyu."

"The servant is here." Shuangyu lowered her head slightly, and replied respectfully.

"Take off their clothes." Liu Shuyan looked at the three of them with a half-smile, and said lightly.

Hearing this, the three of them immediately felt flustered, while Shuangyu thought that she had heard it wrong just now, so she whispered in disbelief: "Niang Niang..."

"Take off their clothes." Liu Shuyan's forceful voice echoed in the empty hall, making the four of them flustered.

Although I don't know what Liu Shuyan is doing, and I know it's unreasonable, but after all, Shuangyu didn't dare to disobey her master's words, so she could only pursed her lips and said, "Yes."

Shuangyu walked towards the three of them, just as she was about to ask them to get up to undress, but was interrupted by the words of the one in the middle.

"The imperial concubine, the three slaves and servants have just arrived today, and I really don't know what mistakes they have made, so they will be punished by the empress. The servants dare to ask the imperial concubine to express their mistakes, so that the servants can avoid it in the future, so as not to cause embarrassment to the empress again." , the woman kowtowed deeply to Liu Shuyan, lay on the ground, and refused to get up for a long time.

The woman said everything in a reasonable way, as if she wanted to delay the time.But Liu Shuyan didn't give her a step down at all, and didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore. He just suppressed all his smiles and said coldly: "What I want to know, you all know in your own hearts, so you don't need to be so hypocritical. .”

"Shuangyu, do it."

Shuangyu turned around and nodded to Liu Shuyan, then turned back to face the three of them: "Please get up and cooperate with the three of you, don't make things difficult for Shuangyu."

The three looked at each other, but finally they could only nod their heads, stood up and opened their upper arms, letting Shuangyu go.

Liu Shuyan was sitting directly in front of the three of them, watching Shuangyu's movements expressionlessly. After the three of them had finished taking off all their clothes, she closed her eyes and stood up: "Put on your clothes yourself, Shuangyu." Come with me."

After leaving the dormitory, Liu Shuyan asked Shuangyu to take her to the residence arranged for the three of them, screened off the servants, and rummaged around inside by herself.

Shuangyu stood at a loss, saw Liu Shuyan's actions, thought for a while, and then asked tentatively: "What is your mother looking for? Do you want Shuangyu to help?"

"No need." Liu Shuyan shook his head, but the movements of his hands never stopped.

It took a lot of time to search the room under the pillow, the gap on the edge of the bed, in the sleeves, around the bronze mirror, on the cabinet and other places where things might be hidden. Shuangyu's legs were a little numb, but Liu Shuyan hadn't Turn to what's on her mind.Just as she straightened up and looked around, wondering if she was wrong, she suddenly saw a pot of green plants on the table beside her.

Shuangyu followed Liu Shuyan's gaze and found nothing unusual, but Liu Shuyan walked towards the potted green plant.Shuangyu also followed her and took a closer look, and felt that the soil around her was very moist and even suspiciously flat.It looked like it had just been planted and watered.

"Shuangyu, dig it up."

Hearing Liu Shuyan's words, Shuangyu looked around, but there was nothing that could be used, so she gritted her teeth and immediately attacked.Sure enough, halfway through the digging, she touched a hard object. She took it out forcefully, and it turned out to be a small wooden box.

After confirming with Liu Shuyan, Shuangyu opened it carefully, and what lay inside was a small medicine bottle, which was extremely delicate.

Seeing this, Liu Shuyan narrowed his eyes and immediately became nervous.She didn't care that there was still mud on the box, and reached out to take out the medicine bottle inside, without saying a word, she ran towards the bedroom again.

Shuangyu was a little at a loss, and wanted to catch up, but after only two steps, seeing the mud on her hands, she first found a water source to wash her hands, and then trotted towards the bedroom half guessing.

Without Liu Shuyan's order, the three Xiliang women waited restlessly for Liu Shuyan's return after they put on their clothes.But the worst result they could have imagined happened. The three of them waited for a long time, and finally they waited for Liu Shuyan with murderous eyes.

As soon as he entered the hall and closed the door, Liu Shuyan threw the small medicine bottle in front of the three of them, and said in a cold voice, "Tell me, what is this?"

The three of them were taken aback, but they didn't panic immediately.The woman who was standing in the middle immediately picked up the small medicine bottle, took two steps forward, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to your mother, this is the magic potion for enhancing fragrance brought by my servant from Xiliang, and I have been reluctant to use it all the time. So I buried it, I didn't expect to be seen by the empress..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Shuyan frowned and interrupted her impatiently: "I will give you three breaths, if you don't tell the truth, I will tell Shen Tai that you are halfway because of this According to the conditions offered by Gong, he took refuge with Ben Gong. Guess, when the time comes, will Shen Tai believe in the three of you, or believe in what I say?"

"Imperial Concubine Empress... I can't understand what you're talking about." Hearing these words, the three of them, who had just suppressed their composure just now, immediately lost their temper, and their eyes began to evade.

Liu Shuyan didn't care what they said, and counted on his own: "One."

"Your Majesty, the servants and servants are telling the truth..." Seeing that Liu Shuyan was speaking the truth, the three of them knelt down with a "plop", but they did not forget to resist.

"two."

"My lady..."

"three."

At this time, the slightly timid woman who had been silent just now finally let go, and kowtowed repeatedly: "I said, I said... Your majesty, please forgive me..."

"This medicine... This medicine is given to each of the servants by His Royal Highness King Jin. His Highness ordered...to let His Royal Highness take this medicine first, and then the servants... then take it to seduce..." She trembled As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller in the end.

Hearing this, Liu Shuyan's face immediately sank again.If it weren't for the fact that the three of them still have some effect on her now, she might kill them all in a fit of anger.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then asked again: "What effect will this medicine have after taking it? Is there an antidote?"

"Returning to your mother, after taking this medicine, people will quickly lose consciousness. After a while, the man... the man's interest will be high, and unless he does that kind of thing, the pain will be difficult to relieve... The woman will feel sore and weak. There is a special fragrance that exudes from her body, which is full of charm. It is used...for entertainment, and...it will also increase the chance of conception, almost...almost there will be no mistakes." After finishing speaking, the woman knelt down and turned to Liu Shuyan. Climbed over, hugged her foot, and begged, crying, "Imperial concubine, slave... slave has no antidote... slave, please, you can kill us, but don't... Don't say that to His Royal Highness King Jin...the family members of the servants are still in the hands of His Highness King Jin..."

Seeing this, the other two women also knelt down and begged with her, and the composure they had just disappeared, leaving only panic: "Yes, ma'am... the servants are begging you..."

"Your Majesty... please be merciful and spare the family members of the slaves...they...they are innocent..."

"Get out of here." The three of them made Liu Shuyan really upset, she couldn't care about anything else for a while, and kicked the woman lying under her towards the door.

The woman slammed into the door, let out a muffled groan, and quickly fell silent, speechless.Seeing the other two women, they hurriedly bid farewell to Liu Shuyan, scrambled towards the door, helped the woman up, and went out of the hall together.

At this time, Shuangyu just rushed over, seeing this situation, the whole person was frightened and stupid.

"Close the door, and then have people take them down and lock them up. Without my order, no one is allowed to come in today." Although Liu Shuyan didn't name them, Shuangyu also knew that she should have said this to her.

Responding softly, Shuangyu hurriedly went forward to close the door first, and then asked a few eunuchs to bring them into the firewood room and lock them up according to Liu Shuyan's instructions.

As for Liu Shuyan, after they left, he quickly changed into the dusty night clothes that had been left for a long time.Now she didn't care that the sky was still dark, so when she went out the window, Liu Shuyan went straight to the East Palace.

Although she didn't need to be like this, she was worried that Shen knew it, and she was afraid that today would be the time for the remaining Xiliang woman to do something.Although it is not the most appropriate way to do this, it is definitely the fastest way to get to Lizheng Hall and the best way to ensure Shen Zhi's safety.
