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

Chapter 88: Interest comes first

"Of course, his daughter is just like him, a piece of shit. After all these days, I have to settle the accounts of the past and make him pay the price."

Concubine Yue became furious, with murderous intent emanating from her eyes, but there was also a hint of indescribable emotion hidden in her eyes.

Nanny Su couldn't help but sigh.

What kind of magic potion did Concubine Shen feed the Empress?

It caused her temperament to change so drastically that she even wanted to investigate what happened in the past?

She had clearly said that we should cut off all ties and have nothing to do with each other anymore.

"My lady, isn't life good now?"

Concubine Yue sneered and went into the house alone. Looking at her back, she seemed a little lonely.

When Shen Zhishu returned to Jiaomu Palace, he naturally went to see the queen immediately.

As soon as you enter the room, you should bow first.

"I have done something wrong, please punish me, mother."

Don't say anything, just apologize sincerely.

At this time, the queen was already lying on the bed, with a curtain between them, so only her shadow could be seen.

"You kid, even if you made a mistake, why punish me? We are a family, come closer and talk to the Queen Mother."

The queen's tone was gentle, and seemed to carry a hint of heartache.

It's just that I can't see his expression at all.

Shen Zhishu didn't dare to act recklessly because of what she said.

He pushed the wheelchair closer to the bed.

But there was still a curtain between us, so I couldn't see her.

"I went to see Concubine Yue today. I should have informed you when I left, but I was worried about disturbing your nap. I wanted to go and come back soon, but I accidentally left until night. Please forgive me."

"The concubines in the palace are also your elders, especially Concubine Yue, who is of noble status and cannot be offended. It would be a good thing for you to meet her more often. Your mother will not blame you."

Look, they pointed at her and said that she was going to curry favor with the favored imperial concubine.

"Although she is noble, she is only a concubine. The Queen Mother is the head of the Central Palace and the mother of the country. Even if I want to curry favor with her, I will curry favor with the Queen Mother."

Shen Zhishu quickly expressed his "feelings".

"If you think so, why do you go to her?"

The queen chuckled softly, as if she was satisfied with her answer.

"I heard something from Xinzheku, so I wanted to go to Zhaohua Palace to look for clues. However, Concubine Yue was very tight-lipped, and Nanny Su beside her was a very smart person. I was worried that they would notice something unusual, so I was very careful. I stayed there for an entire afternoon, but still didn't get any results."

Shen Zhishu looked very disappointed.

He also indirectly told the Queen that he was going to do serious business.

After she finished speaking, Aunt Du beside her looked at her.

"What did you find out?"

"I heard from someone called Auntie Xiao Li that..."

She didn't hide anything and spoke in detail.

This time, Madam Du looked at her again.

Those flowers were taken away from here by Aunt Li, and now they were brought back by Shen Zhishu.

From this perspective, Shen Zhishu is actually very loyal?

"Do you want to make the decision for Eunuch Cui and Yue Changzai?"

Perhaps the queen didn't expect this either, so she paused for a long while before asking.

"I think that Concubine Yue is arrogant and domineering, and it's hard to get along with her. So I boldly guess that there are probably many palace servants who died inexplicably like Eunuch Cui. Even the one I saw in the cold palace that day might have been her work. She might be able to easily get away with the tragic death of one or two servants, but if multiple murders are related to her, she, as a noble concubine, would be committing a serious crime by killing innocent people..."

Shen Zhishu said that he wanted to investigate more old cases related to Concubine Yue.

"It's a good idea, but Concubine Yue has many spies. If you accidentally let her know, how are you going to get away?"

"I have a bold idea."

Shen Zhishu was silent for a moment before speaking hesitantly.

"You said."

Judging from the tone of his voice, this isn't a good idea.

"I think my mother's birthday will be a grand one, so why not let Concubine Yue host it? Birthday banquets are complicated, time-consuming and troublesome. While she has no time to take care of me, I can investigate the old case. If I'm lucky, I can catch Concubine Yue's spy and take this opportunity to eliminate her power."

Shen Zhishu finished speaking with some trepidation.

The queen didn't react.

She continued, "Besides this, if... Noble Concubine Yue doesn't do a good job organizing the birthday banquet, then Mother can take the opportunity to punish her, which is reasonable and logical."

After saying that, she stole another glance.

When she couldn't see the queen, she looked at Nanny Du.

But I didn't see anyone's expression.

Although she had already thought of an excuse when she decided to go find Concubine Yue, it seemed to have no loopholes.

But she was worried that the Queen would see through her intention of not doing her best to deal with Concubine Yue, which would be troublesome.

After all, it sounds incredible to let your mortal enemy organize your birthday party.

Therefore, during these few seconds of waiting, Shen Zhishu was also very tormented.

"What you said... does make some sense. I am indeed exhausted. The birthday banquet is approaching, and many royal relatives and important officials have been invited. I must not lose face for my royal family."

"Then it's up to you."

Finally, the queen agreed.

Shen Zhishu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I will definitely take this opportunity and will never let you down."

She looked so determined, as if she was about to swear an oath.

"It's getting late. You should go back and rest early."

The Queen spoke gently.

But from beginning to end, she never lifted the curtain to take a look at Shen Zhishu.

Xiaodie pushed her master back to the side hall at an extraordinary speed.

The first thing he did was to lock the door and then look outside vigilantly.

"My Lord, what do you want to do?"

After following her for a whole day, she still didn't understand her master's intentions.

First, he asked someone to find out about Concubine Yue, as if he was planning to deal with her.

But then he went to Concubine Yue to negotiate peace, and also seized power from the Queen, and together they plotted against the Princess of Qin. In Xiaodie's view, this was a cooperative relationship.

But then he turned around and said that he wanted to deal with Concubine Yue and investigate the old case to punish her.

Xiaodie couldn't understand who her master was trying to help?

But she knew that if the Queen knew about the conversation between her master and Concubine Yue in the afternoon, she would never let her go.

If Concubine Yue knew what she said to the Queen tonight, she would die a miserable death.

So she always felt that her master was in danger.

"Everyone wants to use me, so I should learn from them and use each other to get what I want."

"So, you really want to cooperate with Concubine Yue to bring down the King of Qin?"

Xiaodie was afraid that others might hear her, so she leaned over and whispered in Shen Zhishu's ear.

She didn't argue and just nodded.

"You still want to use the Queen to suppress Concubine Yue?"

She nodded again.

So whoever she told was telling the truth? Xiaodie's head was about to explode.

She really wanted to ask the master if he had ever considered that if things went wrong, she would be the one who suffered the most.

"Xiao Die, who do you think leaked the matter about those two people in the cold palace to me?"
