The imperial concubine bows down to me

"It's good for Your Highness to have such an idea, but it's not too late for Your Highness to wait for the Emperor to come back and discuss with him before making a decision. After all, the Emperor is His Highness's father, since he asked you to disguise yourself as a man back then. , I should have thought about the future." While speaking, Liu Shuyan suppressed his smile, and his expression became a little more serious, "But now, Your Highness should think about Miss Xia's matter first."

"Miss Xia?" Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses and confirmed again, "Your concubine means...the woman from Xiliang, Xia Zi?"

Liu Shuyan nodded: "It has been more than forty days since that night. She was not pregnant at all. If Shen Tai finds out, her life will be in danger. Now that Shen Tai's situation is over and Li Mi is not in the capital, if His Highness If you want to save her life, then find a reason to call her into the palace to protect her, it's not a bad idea."

When instigating Xia Zi's rebellion before, although Liu Shuyan never promised to save her life, she did help Shen Zhi a lot. Now that she can save her, she has done her best.

"Alright, Gudu listens to the imperial concubine. By the way, the imperial concubine promised to help Miss Xia bring her family back then. Counting the time, it is almost time. I will go to draft a secret decree after a while, so that people can go to Xiliang as soon as possible." VIPs, keep them safe."

As soon as Shen Zhi's voice fell, before Liu Shuyan's response came, what was waiting was Cao Min's hurried footsteps and hurried shouting: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Seeing that Cao Min was in such a hurry, Shen Zhi frowned slightly, and also walked towards him: "Why are you so flustered?" As soon as he asked, Shen Zhi noticed the secret document in his hand, and a feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. A bad feeling.

Standing in front of Shen Zhi, Cao Min stopped, and before he could take a breath, he quickly put the bamboo tube in front of Shen Zhi's eyes, and said: "Your Highness, empress, there is an urgent report from [-] miles ahead!"

An urgent report ahead, not a success report, Shen Zhi was worried that if something had not happened to Shen Tian and the other side, there might be some problems encountered in the assassination of Li Mi.Hearing Cao Min's words, Shen Zhi's heart instantly rose into her throat, and she didn't care to ask any more questions. She immediately took the sealed secret document from Cao Min, opened it and took out the document inside. stationery.

And Liu Shuyan followed Shen Zhi just now, she stood beside Shen Zhi, lowered her head slightly, and looked in the direction Shen Zhi was holding.

Taking advantage of this gap, Cao Min quietly raised his head to check the situation, and when he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the two people's faces that instantly sank, his heart thumped with thunder.Although he didn't know what happened just now, but judging from the expressions of the two of them, this time the incident was not an ordinary one, so they probably didn't run away.

After reading the content on the letter paper, Shen Zhi was silent for a long time without saying a word.She folded the letter paper calmly and put it back in the confidential document. After a while, she looked at Liu Shuyan, as if asking for her opinion.

However, Liu Shuyan did not respond to her questioning eyes, but instead asked her: "How does Your Highness plan to deal with this matter?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhi's throat moved, and the anger on his face was obvious: "It seems that he expected that we would ambush him on the road, and he was already prepared to break out and escape. He went to Xiliang, maybe for him It is a good thing to be alone, but if he persuades the king of Xiliang to raise troops and join forces with the brothers of the king of Jin, for the people of the world, this time they will be alone in dire straits."

After all, Shen Zhi remembered that Cao Min was still standing in front of the two of them.Although Shen Zhi still trusted Cao Min relatively before, but after Cao Min betrayed her, although she still didn't look at Cao Min differently on weekdays, before discussing such a major matter, she I still feel that if one less person knows about it, it will be more secure.

Thinking about it, she handed the secret letter to Cao Min, and ordered: "Burn this secret letter, and then I will trouble you to go to Du Mansion and Wei Mansion to invite Qin Ning and uncle. Be sure to hurry, And absolutely no one else should know about it."

"Yes." Cao Min shivered a little, bowed to the two of them, and retreated knowingly.

After Cao Min walked a little farther, Liu Shuyan opened his mouth again, responding to what Shen said just now: "Shen Tai must have known about Li Mi's defection to Xiliang in advance, why don't His Highness take this opportunity to involve him first?" Come in, use this to make a fuss, and charge him with a crime." After all, Li Mi is also Shen Tai's father-in-law, if he really wants Shen Tai to sit together, as long as he finds a little evidence, it is not impossible.

Shen Zhi nodded in response, and also expressed his thoughts to Liu Shuyan: "What I just thought was to let my uncle lead the troops to surround the Taiwei's mansion first, and then go in and search to see if I can find any Taiwei and others. Brother Jin conspired together to seek refuge in Xiliang and wanted evidence of rebellion. If not, let Qinning be in charge of interrogating the people in the Taiwei's house, and there will be some gains in the end."

"Since Li Mi dared to do this openly, he must have made preparations for the aftermath before he set off. His Highness just went to search the house at this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to find too strong physical evidence."

Shen Zhi didn't think about the situation Liu Shuyan said, and she replied: "If it is necessary, the fake is true when it is true, and the true is false when it is true. As long as Brother Jin does not act rashly, Li Mi will seek refuge in Xi'an. Liang, the current situation is still in our favor for the time being." Even if there is no evidence for the truth, in an emergency, it is still a way to take risks and forge evidence.After all, she is still the crown prince anyway, and Li Mi gave her the tiger amulet when he left. As long as her teacher is famous, no matter whether it is true or not, she can still be in a favorable position.

"Your Highness is smart, this is indeed a good strategy." Liu Shuyan nodded approvingly, lowered his voice a little, and then asked again, "However, on this basis, I have a suggestion of my own. I don't know if Your Highness would like it. How about listening to it?"

Hearing Liu Shuyan's somewhat confident words, Shen Zhi's heart suddenly relaxed, and his eyes lit up a lot: "Of course I want to, but what better way does the imperial concubine have?"

"There is no impenetrable wall in this world. If His Highness sends someone to forge evidence and is spread by people with ulterior motives, it will be detrimental to His Highness. But if His Highness only holds the evidence in his own hands from beginning to end, only It is relatively safer to tell the courtier Shen Tai and Li Mi to collude with Xiliang secretly, and to put him in the prison first, and wait for the emperor to come back to deal with it. And in this case, no one would dare to risk In the danger of turning around and speaking for Shen Tai, even if there is, His Highness's thunder in the court hall can shut their mouths."

It is a good strategy to create something out of nothing, neither to fear that someone will deliberately take away the evidence found or created, nor to be betrayed by others.

However, Shen Zhi still had some concerns in his heart: "If it's just the courtiers who are suspicious, it's easy to deal with, but what if it's Brother Jin who refuses to obey Gu's decree and wants to resist? Brother Jin is very skilled in martial arts, if he wants to leave, it will be a big deal. No matter how strict the guards in the capital are, they probably won't be able to trap him."

"Your Highness, do you still remember that after the incident between Miss Xia and Eunuch Cao, you asked my concubine why Shen Tai would always use other people's relatives as a threat to make them do things for him, how did my concubine answer His Highness at that time?" ?”

Liu Shuyan's question made Shen Zhi enlightened, and he suddenly became enlightened.Although Shen Tai is evil, his feelings for Princess Jin Li are all true.Otherwise, as a prince of the first dynasty, he would not be in his twenties now, and he has never taken a concubine or even touched a concubine.

over another woman.There is also Jin Taifei, everyone knows that King Jin is filial and has always been responsive to Changsun Ying, so it shouldn't look like a fake.

Shen Tai used to coerce other people's close relatives to fulfill his purpose, but now that Liu Shuyan said this, Shen Zhi suddenly thought of a breakthrough to deal with this matter.

"I don't know what to do, thank you for your advice!" Shen Zhi nodded, his joy was beyond words.

But although she already had a plan in her mind, it was a temporary solution after all, and she couldn't take it lightly.She still doesn't know what Shen Tai is thinking and what he will do next, the most urgent thing now is to wait for Du Qinning and Wei Feng to come over, and then discuss the next thing, and it must be fast.

Liu Shuyan also nodded, and seeing Shen Zhi's inconspicuous smile, she also smiled: "If your Highness needs anything, you can come to Chenqie at any time, as long as you can help, Chenqie will definitely help you." All I can do to help."

After receiving the message from Cao Min, Du Qinning and Wei Feng rushed over and entered the East Palace one after the other.The four of them entered the main hall of Li and sat down together, Shen Zhi frowned slightly and told the important content of the incident and the conversation between her and Liu Shuyan just now.

As a man, Wei Feng had a cooperative relationship with Liu Shuyan before, but after all, the two hadn't met a few times, and he and Liu Shuyan were still a little unfamiliar.But seeing that Shen Zhi and Liu Shuyan were close and behaved very calmly, his uneasiness also eased a little, and the taboo in his heart was not so strong.

After Shen Zhi finished talking about her last thoughts, several people were silent, and finally Wei Feng spoke first: "But I don't think we need to be so eager to clarify this matter for the time being. Let His Highness and King Jin be at war with each other."

"Then according to uncle, what should we do now?" Although Wei Feng refuted Shen Zhi's idea of ​​doing it immediately, Shen Zhi still asked humbly.

"It is very important for the Taiwei to seek refuge in Xiliang. As the father-in-law of King Jin, he should have already communicated with him, and King Jin should have already prepared for possible actions against His Highness. The news from the front reached the capital. It will take a certain amount of time, and King Jin is currently unable to fully grasp the exact time when His Highness will know about this matter, so His Highness can pretend not to know it, delay it for a day, and then make full preparations in this day, and then do nothing again. Late."

Shen Zhi was really anxious, but she thought about it carefully, weighed the pros and cons of the two methods, asked Liu Shuyan and Du Qinning for their opinions, and finally followed Wei Feng's suggestion.Later, several people discussed for about half an hour, discussing some specific details of the things that should be done in the past two days, and then each carried out the plan according to the discussed plan.
