The imperial concubine bows down to me

Obviously there is a set of clothes and a few menstrual belts, but there are still some things wrapped tightly, Shen Zhi couldn't see what they were for a while.

As soon as Liu Shuyan entered the door, he put everything on the table and asked, "Your Highness, have you finished washing? But what's wrong?"

"It's much better, basically there is no discomfort." Shen Zhi responded, shrinking his feet again.

After arranging all the things, Liu Shuyan glanced at Shen Zhi's clothes on the screen, and handed her the newly bought clothes to the pillow, and then said: "Your Highness, put on the clothes first, paper bag There are also some small pastries in the bag, if you get hungry later, His Highness can use this to fill his stomach first. The concubine will go out for a while, and she will come back in about a cup of tea." As he spoke, Liu Shuyan had put the brown sugar and the brown sugar in one of the paper bags and Put the ginger in the teapot and shake it.She touched the water inside and it was still a little hot, so she didn't let Shen Zhi drink it first.

Shen Zhi answered, after Liu Shuyan went out again, he changed his clothes and menstrual belt according to her instructions.After thinking about it, she wrapped the dirty clothes just now with an unused quilt in the house, thinking that when she left, she would take them out and throw them away, and then she would give the store owner some more money.After sorting out all this, although Shen knew she didn't have much appetite yet, she still walked to the edge of the table, opened the pastry in the paper bag and took a few bites.After all, Liu Shuyan bought her so many things in such a short period of time, and she spent a lot of energy thinking about it. Just now, she saw the almost imperceptible beads of sweat on the side of Liu Shuyan's forehead. She might not let someone who cares about her so much Liu Shuyan's painstaking efforts were in vain.

But while eating, Shen Zhi suddenly noticed something was wrong.The thought that flashed through her mind made her heart tremble, and even the speed of her chewing slowed down very quickly.

Just now Liu Shuyan said that she only found out that such a big thing happened in Yifu after asking the people on the street, but most of those people also went to the Lantern Festival, and they could only turn around and run away when they saw the bloody scene. If you can't avoid it, how can you know what happened in Yifu?

Besides, there are two hidden guards on the side of the arena to deal with the aftermath, and there are two hidden guards in Yi's mansion who are "assisting" Qiu Liangcai in handling the case. If there are still guards outside the inn, then Liu Shuyan will bring it with him when he goes out today. At least five hidden guards.It was obviously just a night tour agreed upon by the two of them, but Liu Shuyan was already a master of martial arts, so why would she need to bring so many people with her?

Could it be that, as she thought, everything that happened today was in Liu Shuyan's expectation?And Liu Shuyan hasn't mentioned the matter of Wu Chenglei on the surface in the past few days. It's not that she temporarily shelved the matter as she thought, but because she is secretly investigating him, so she can wait for an opportunity?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi couldn't help but feel that the extremely sweet pastry in his mouth suddenly became a bit boring.

Although she knew that Liu Shuyan did this for her own good, but the temporary victory obtained with the blood of so many innocent people, no matter what, even if there was no way, Shen Zhi was still very disturbed.

Swallowing the somewhat dry cake in his mouth, Shen Zhi felt a little tired.She tidied up the things on the table, and then she was going to lie back on the bed and rest for a while.I don't know whether Liu Shuyan will let her go back to the East Palace for a while. If she goes back, if the two of them enter and leave the inn together today and are seen by others, speculations about the relationship between the two inside and outside the palace will be "surging". .

Shen Zhi let out a long breath helplessly, and just as she was about to take off her shoes and climb onto the bed, the creaking sound of the door rang again behind her.

Liu Shuyan came into the room and saw that she had eaten something, at least she didn't lose her appetite, so she felt relieved to Shen Zhi for a while.Touching the edge of the teapot, it was no longer hot, so Liu Shuyan poured the brown sugar and ginger water soaked in the teapot into a large bowl that he had just brought back, and brought it to the side of the bed.

"Your Highness, drink some of this to warm your body." Although he had already tested the temperature just now, just in case, Liu Shuyan took a spoonful and put it on his lips to check the temperature, and then handed it to Shen Zhi with confidence. past.

Shen Zhi actually didn't like the taste of ginger. To her, that food was extremely unpalatable, and eating it was even worse than drinking Chinese medicine decoction with Coptis chinensis.Even just soaking in hot water for a while, the smell was enough to make her vomit.But this time, she only hesitated for a moment, and then made up her mind to drink the whole bowl. She thought that since brown sugar was added in it, the ginger flavor should not be as strong as ginger soup.

But if she drank it spoonful by spoonful, the bitter taste would inevitably linger in her mouth for a long time.Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. After thinking about it, Shen knew: "Come alone, don't bother the imperial concubine." As she spoke, she took the bowl from Liu Shuyan's hand, pursed her lips, then raised her head and tightened her eyes. He closed his eyes and drank it down.She put down the bowl and inhaled with slightly parted lips, as if this would make the strange feeling in her mouth feel better.

The taste of the brown sugar ginger water was more unpleasant than she had imagined, but immediately, a burst of refreshing mint sweetness in her mouth immediately diverted her attention.Shen Zhi opened his eyes, and licked the small square in his mouth with the tip of his tongue, only then did he realize that it was the mint candy Liu Shuyan gave her.

"Thank you, Concubine." After saying that, Shen Zhi shrank his hands in embarrassment.

And Liu Shuyan took the bowl to the side wooden table and put it down, returned to the original position and sat down, then smiled at her and said: "I didn't expect His Highness to drink medicine so quickly, but the concubine underestimated His Highness."

Listening to this coaxing and doting tone, Liu Shuyan really treated her like a child.It's hard to say that I don't like it, but Shen Zhi always feels an inexplicable sense of loss.She didn't want to delve into it, but followed Liu Shuyan's words and changed the topic again.

"Your concubine was joking, I can't stand this little suffering, how can I take on big responsibilities in the future. Actually... In fact, these are nothing at all, but because today's incident happened suddenly, and I have no experience, so I let the concubine see it." A joke. By the way, Concubine, when shall we go back to the palace?"

"Your Highness, if you want, you can go back now. The concubine has asked someone to prepare a carriage at the entrance of the inn." At this point, Liu Shuyan paused, and before Shen Zhi agreed, he added, "But didn't your highness say Do you want to know what's going on today? If you leave the inn and there are so many people, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for the minister and concubine to talk to His Highness today."

Sure enough, when Liu Shuyan said this, Shen Zhi's ears almost perked up.Although she had already guessed the first point, but Liu Shuyan didn't tell these things herself, she would rather hold a glimmer of hope.But to be honest, she was really looking forward to knowing the reason before this incident just now; but now, she doesn't really want to know.

But she had already said what she said just now, and now she changed her words, which would make Liu Shuyan feel that something was wrong.After hesitating for a while, Shen Zhi lowered his eyes, and still agreed to Liu Shuyan's words: "Then it doesn't matter if you go back later, it's more convenient to go back after dark."

"Since Miss Kong told Chenqie that useful clue last time, Chenqie has planted some eyeliners near Wu's mansion. When Wu Chenglei went out of the palace today to contact other people, Chenqie had already received the news. I just went to the East Palace to invite His Royal Highness went to the Lantern Festival together because the concubine knew that they would attack Yi's mansion tonight, but if only the concubine went out of the palace alone, it would be suspicious and offended. The concubine knew that she could have saved Yi The house went up and down, but if there were no casualties this time, Wu Chenglei would not be convicted of death, and Shen Tai's last arm would not be cut off, which would cut off his source of income." When Liu Shuyan said these words , still smiling.Shen Zhi said that she wanted to know, so she didn't hide it like before, and told her everything truthfully before Shen Zhi asked.

She knows Shen Zhi's kind and kind nature, even though she once said that no matter what she does, she knows that she is for her own good, but she may still blame her for it.But these are things that a future emperor must go through, and now Liu Shuyan has done all this for her.

It really is like this...

Shen Zhi, who learned the truth from Liu Shuyan, felt extremely sad, but she couldn't blame Liu Shuyan, she could only blame herself for not seeing through Shen Tai's behavior earlier, which led to the current consequences.She knew that she was born in the emperor's house in this life, so she was destined to have a drop of blood on her hands, just like those forbidden soldiers who died in front of the Lizheng Hall when Xue Jiang forced the palace, some of them might also be deceived by Xue Jiang , There are old and young innocent people.

"I know that the noble concubine is also focusing on the overall situation. If Wu Chenglei is not eliminated today, there will be more innocent families like the Yi family who will be killed by Brother Jin in the future." Although he said so, Shen Zhi felt sad Still can't be eliminated for a long time.

"Your Highness, my concubine has told you before that I am not a good person. If His Highness doesn't like it, after we get rid of Shen Tai and help His Highness secure the position of prince, my concubine will leave the palace. His Highness has an elder brother and Qin Ning is enough." After a pause, Liu Shuyan rolled his eyes, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "However, if His Highness can understand all these things, I will be happy for His Highness."

Before Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan returned to the palace, news of Wu Chenglei's arrest had already reached Shen Tai's ears.If it is said that Xue Jiang's incident last time was caused by him making up his own mind and reaping the consequences, and Shen Tai could bear it, then the open "provocation" of the two this time directly made Shen Tai feel that something was wrong under his anger .

Apart from Li Mi who is Shen Tai's most powerful backing, Xue Jiang and Wu Chenglei are his right-hand men.Although he has several other confidantes, compared with the two, those people are far worse than the two.Now that the two lost their horses one after another, Shen Tai couldn't help but think highly of Shen Zhi again.Losing two generals one after another, even a very capable person like Shen Tai couldn't help but start to make other plans.

If it continues like this, Shen Tai feels that maybe before the child in Xia Zi's stomach is born, Shen Zhi will be able to wipe out all his influence.At that time, don't say that he will be famous forever, I am afraid that even his own life may not be saved.Now that the matter has come to this point, instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it is better to give him a go before the end is reached.
