Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 302: Lost favor, feeling down

Want to attack her? How dare she do that in front of the emperor?

Shen Zhishu just watched calmly throughout the whole process, just like a bystander.

It seems that the Queen Mother and Princess Jing'an really understand each other.

The matter of Cao Ying was exactly as the Queen Mother had guessed.

Whatever.

If she doesn't fall for it, she'll have to carry out another plan.

"Okay, good boy."

The Queen Mother had a loving look on her face and held it with her backhand.

"Your Majesty, since Jing'an sincerely admits her mistakes, let's forget about the past. Let her live with me so that she can have a companion..."

"Forget it. Mother is not in good health and needs to rest. How can a daughter bother you?"

"But you can't always stay with the emperor. This palace... we should arrange a separate residence for you."

"This is the emperor's harem. It's not appropriate to live anywhere else. It's better for my daughter to be closer to my father. There is a nursery next to Taichen Palace. If the emperor agrees, we can go there."

Since the emperor wants her to stay in the palace, he can't keep her imprisoned as before.

It is not safe to live in the Cining Palace, nor any other place, because the Empress Dowager will have the opportunity to attack.

Only if she relies on the emperor emeritus will she be afraid.

Sure enough, when she proposed this, the Queen Mother's expression froze instantly.

But it seemed that she had no reason to object.

"Very good. Now I really don't have a daughter by my side. I can still enjoy the happiness of family life when I am old."

At this moment, the emperor suddenly spoke.

He seemed pleased with the proposal.

"If the emperor likes it, then that's good."

Su Rong also joined in at this time.

It wasn't sudden, but because the Queen Mother hadn't given her any signal for such a long time, it seemed that she was not willing to cooperate with herself at all.

If that's the case, why should she let her have an easy time?

As long as Jing'an was by the side of the retired emperor, she would always be worried that her secrets would be leaked.

Yan Chu didn't object either.

The fate of Princess Jing'an seemed to have been decided.

Shen Zhishu couldn't get a word in, so he drank several cups of tea in a row.

"Change the tea."

When the palace maid serving tea came, she gave an order in a soft voice.

Then the palace maid seemed to realize that the tea was a little cold, and hurriedly changed the tea for all the masters.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the banquet officially began.

The music lingered in my ears, beauties danced gracefully, people drank wine and admired the moon, and then there were extremely grand fireworks.

Just a pity.

Yan Chu did not invite Shen Zhishu to watch the moon and fireworks with him.

The one standing next to him was always Concubine Wan.

No matter how rational she is, she can't avoid feeling lost.

The empress dowager couldn't afford to make a fuss, and soon she used the excuse of being tired and returned to her bedroom.

Shen Zhishu persisted until the end.

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, she walked faster on purpose, wanting to talk to him.

"I ignored you all night. If it were me, I wouldn't have the nerve to rush up to you. Besides... why would I bother to show my affection to someone who doesn't like me?"

Su Rong walked up to her at some point, and was being sarcastic and mocking.

Shen Zhishu disagreed.

To catch up.

But by the time Su Rong stopped her to speak, Yan Chu had already walked away.

If she chases him, it would be indecent.

"You still know what's going on."

Su Rong thought she had heard it.

He sneered and then walked away quickly.

When Shen Zhishu returned to Kunning Palace, his back instantly hunched over, looking very tired.

"Zisu..."

Whenever she felt tired, she wanted a massage.

"Your Highness has just been sitting here eating and drinking all night without saying much. Why is she like this?"

Bitao couldn't help but mutter.

She is the only one going to the party tonight. Xiaodie has been put in solitary confinement and has not been released yet.

"What's the point of physical fatigue? It's often the heart."

Zi Su walked inside with the things.

Bitao seemed to understand but not quite, and thought about it silently for a while.

"So, it seems that the emperor ignored you tonight, and you are so tired because you are heartbroken."

It seemed like she understood instantly.

When I say this, I feel very sorry for the Empress.

"It's all the fault of Concubine Wan. The Emperor must have mistaken her for the Empress..."

She muttered to herself and walked away.

This night.

Even though Zi Su gave her a massage and prescribed some sleeping-inducing spices, she still couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning.

For the first time, Zi Su failed to push her to sleep.

As the sky was getting light, Shen Zhishu got up and put on some simple makeup.

"Madam, where are you going?"

When Bitao entered the room, she was a little surprised to see her wearing a hairpin.

"If you don't want to go, just try to dress yourself up."

She was a little distracted.

No one knew how nervous she was at the moment.

Success or failure really depends on this one move.

"That……"

Just as Bitao was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

"Sister Bitao, something...something big happened."

The young palace maid outside didn't dare to say anything, but was very nervous.

Bitao got angry immediately after hearing this.

He opened the door and was about to scold this loser.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Zhishu took the initiative to come out.

The little palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Then he stumbled over what had happened.

"I...I also heard from outsiders that...Princess Jing'an died suddenly in the nursery courtyard...She...she died, and the palace maids are going to the main hall to report to the emperor."

Just outside the Kunning Palace, the palace maids were running so wildly that their legs were weak and they fell countless times along the way.

It looked like someone had just died in such a horrific way that no one had recovered from their shock.

"died?"

Bitao was even more incredulous, her eyes widened so wide that they almost popped out.

"Yes, dead."

The little palace maid knelt on the ground, not daring to look up. She was so scared that tears came out, but her tone was firm, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

No one noticed the flash of relief in Shen Zhishu's eyes, as if he was relieved that a heavy burden was finally over.

"Go and see."

But even though a person dies, what follows is just the beginning.

She had to pretend that it had nothing to do with her and that she knew nothing.

But it doesn't mean you have to hide, that will only make people suspicious.

I guess everyone who heard the news is heading there now.

Of course she is no exception.

Bitao looked dazed.

By the time he reacted, he had already followed his master to the nursery yard.

At the door, he was stopped by the guards.

Because it is next to Taichen Palace.

So the emperor arrived as soon as possible.

Obviously, the guards were in control of this place.

All the people who rushed over were stopped outside, and no one knew what was going on inside.

It wasn't just Shen Zhishu who came here. As she expected, everyone who heard the news rushed over.

Among them were Concubine Yue, Concubine Ming, and Concubine Yu.

"What happened? Wasn't everything fine last night? Is there an assassin?"

Yu Mingzhu is the youngest and can't hide things.

Asked nervously.

"I heard that when Princess Jing'an died, blood was gushing out of all her orifices and her face was dark blue. It seemed like she was poisoned."

Yu Changzai was calmer, after all, she usually played with poisonous insects and was used to seeing these things.

"Who is so bold as to poison someone to death in the palace? And it's Princess Jing'an."
