Chapter 89 Fake?

Xiao Yuan frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Anan's attitude, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Then continue."

He turned around and was about to leave, Shen Anan's face wrinkled, and suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Xiao Yuan's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't turn around. He just asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Shen Anan said, "If you have nothing to do in the future, please don't appear in front of me too often."

…

Xiao Yuan's eyebrows jumped, and he turned around to look at the woman in the room with a rather unfriendly look. Shen Anan pretended not to see it and asked him, "When will my maid wake up?"

Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "He's dead asleep. Wait for the body to be collected."

After saying that, the figure disappeared in a flash. Shen Anan's face turned red with anger. She leaned on the window frame and looked out, but she didn't even see a swaying shadow.

The bastard can't escape underground.

——

On the next morning, Mo Xiang rubbed his temples and kept saying that he felt uncomfortable.

"Girl, my head hurts a little, as if I didn't sleep all night."

Shen Anan's eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "Maybe he had a nightmare and didn't get enough rest."

"Dream?" Mo Xiang shook her head. She didn't remember dreaming.

As they were talking, a young palace maid came in and said, "My cousin, the emperor came to visit the queen after the morning court session. The queen asked me to invite you to see him."

Shen Anan frowned. She had thought about meeting the emperor the day she came, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon. It seems that it is not untrue that Concubine Shen is favored.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After Mo Xiang helped her wash and dress up, the master and servant went to the imperial concubine's main hall.

The emperor's travel was a grand affair, with a sedan chair waiting outside and more than a dozen eunuchs accompanying him.

Shen Anan went over, and the eunuch waiting at the door greeted her with a smile, "Miss Shen, how are you."

Shen Anan returned a peaceful smile and followed the palace maid inside.

She just raised her head and glanced at the emperor sitting next to Concubine Shen, then immediately knelt down to salute.

She could keenly sense the emperor's gaze.

"Get up." The emperor said slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Anan stood up and stood aside very obediently, trying his best to appear insignificant.

Whether in the previous life or this life, she had little contact with the emperor, only a few times. It was also the last time that she had a big fight with Xiao Yuan and was called into the palace to be scolded.

However, he suffered no superficial injuries, because Xiao Yuan was still a gentleman in this regard and took all the emperor's wrath on himself.

"Since you are here, just stay in the palace and take good care of the imperial concubine for a few days."

"Yes." Shen Anan nodded in response, lowering her head slightly and looking at the ground.

Concubine Shen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, An An is with me."

The emperor said "hmm" calmly, and suddenly asked, "Is your grandmother living well in Jiangnan?"

"Everything is fine." Shen Anan replied.

"That's good," the emperor said with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were quite meaningful, "Old Madam Shen is well, and Shen Aiqing can also do his best to serve the court loyally, don't you think so, Shen Aiqing."

Concubine Shen's expression froze visibly for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Your Majesty is right. All of us in the Shen family are loyal to your Majesty."

The emperor smiled but said nothing, but the smile did not show in his eyes.

"Oh, right." Concubine Shen suddenly half-sat up and said to Aunt Yu, "Didn't An An bring a valuable vase from the mansion when she came a few days ago? Take it out and show it to the emperor."

Aunt Yu glanced at Shen Anan and immediately bowed.

Shen An'an's heart suddenly sank, and she looked up at Concubine Shen. When did she bring her a vase?

What weird thing is she planning to do?

But Concubine Shen's words had already aroused the emperor's interest, "Oh? Brought from the Shen Mansion, it must be a good thing, let me see, what good things did Shen Aiqing hide privately, why are you so stingy that you don't even want to give me one."

Concubine Shen covered her lips and laughed, "Your Majesty, please take a good look at it. If you like it, I will give it to you."

"My beloved concubine is still very generous. She is much better than your brother."

As she was speaking, Aunt Yu had already brought the vase.

Shen Anan stared at the vase in Aunt Yu's arms, her eyes narrowed slightly.

Is it a fake? She raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Shen. She gave a fake to the emperor, and in the name of the Shen family?

But she couldn't say anything at this moment. After all, Concubine Shen represented the Shen family, and she couldn't undermine her.

It was not very obvious that the items were fake, but if they were in the sun, people who knew the goods could still tell them at a glance. Concubine Shen could pretend to be ignorant in the palace all year round, but the emperor had a keen eye and could tell them at a glance.

He narrowed his sharp eyes, glanced at the aunt and nephew, and told Aunt Yu, "Bring it here for me to see."

Aunt Yu immediately handed it to the emperor.

"You just said that this was given to you by Minister Shen?" the emperor asked.

Concubine Shen smiled and said, "She is my sister-in-law. My brother is busy serving the emperor all day long. How can he have the time to spare?"

The emperor nodded and looked at the vase with interest for a while. Suddenly, his hand stopped and he turned his head to look at the eunuch behind him.

"Do you think this vase is familiar?"

"Yes, there are some." The eunuch frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Does the emperor think that this vase is somewhat similar to the one in Concubine Ning's palace?"

Emperor, "Now that you mention it, they are somewhat similar."

"Impossible." Concubine Shen half leaned on the emperor and said, "This vase was bought by my sister-in-law at a high price. She said it was a unique treasure in the world. How could Sister Ningfei have the same one? Your Majesty, you must have remembered it wrongly."

The eunuch took a step back, lowered his head and said no more.

The emperor smiled and said, "Maybe Madam Shen was deceived. In my opinion, Concubine Ning's is much more real than yours. Yours is too obviously fake."

Concubine Shen's face immediately fell and she said, "I don't believe it."

She took the vase back from the emperor and looked at it over and over again.

When Shen Anan heard the name of Concubine Ning, she felt unwell, and her eyes were slightly cold when she looked at Concubine Shen.

So Xiao Yuan came last night for this, and what Qing'an was holding in his arms was this vase!

She actually got involved with Xiao Yuan and dragged the Shen family into the quagmire of the fight for the throne! ! ! !

Anger and anxiety slowly spread in Shen Anan's heart.

"Perhaps my mother was deceived by someone, Madam, since the emperor has said it is fake, he certainly can't be wrong, so let it go."

Concubine Shen had said this, so she naturally couldn't refute it in front of the emperor. It was one thing for the emperor to believe her or not, but he might even think that the Shen family wanted to distance themselves from the matter and use the concubine as a shield.

"You kid, my sister-in-law spent so much money on it, how could it be fake? If it is true, you have to find that person to settle the score. I don't accept it, and I have to compete with Concubine Ning to see if it is real or not."

Concubine Shen glanced at the emperor coquettishly. Suddenly, her eyes fixed on the bottom of the vase and she said with a smile, "Look, Your Majesty, there is a steel stamp on this vase. I said it is real."

The emperor frowned and tilted his head to look in the direction of her finger.

Shen Anan watched as the emperor's expression changed from doubt to solemnity, and finally to dark blue, with flames dancing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Shen asked in confusion.

"My beloved concubine just said that this vase was obtained by Madam Shen? Where did she get it from?" His eyes were looking at Shen Anan.

"I don't know either. What's wrong? Could it be that this vase is really fake?" Concubine Shen covered her mouth with a look of annoyance.

The emperor said nothing with a gloomy face. He took the vase from Concubine Shen and handed it to the eunuch behind him.

"I'll take the things first."

Before Shen Anan could even open her mouth, the emperor had already left with a flick of his sleeves, his back filled with a strong sense of hostility.

“What does the Imperial Concubine want to do?” Only the aunt and nephew and Aunt Yu were left in the room, and Shen Anan spoke with a cold face.

Concubine Shen smiled softly, "What do you think, An An?"

"I only know that you are the only one in the harem who is favored by the emperor because of the power of the Shen family. If something happens to the Shen family, the first one to fall will be you, the imperial concubine."

Concubine Shen's eyes flashed, and she slowly stood up, "You don't need to remind me of this. I am the daughter of the Shen family, so I will naturally not harm my mother's family."

"Since you knew that, you shouldn't have joined forces with Xiao Yuan to deal with Concubine Ning, especially involving the Shen family." Shen Anan's face was cold, and Concubine Shen actually saw the majesty of Old Madam Shen in her.

He is indeed someone who was brought up by his mother.

"I'm helping the Shen family move to a higher level!!!"

"That's just what you think, not what the Shen family wants. Just like when you insisted on marrying into the palace, everything that happened today is your own fault."

After all, Dad and Grandma were too soft-hearted.

"Cousin, this is the palace, how can you speak to the imperial concubine like that?" Aunt Yu stepped down to persuade her, but her words were full of threats.

"What? Do you dare to kill me?" Shen Anan sneered, staring at Concubine Shen with gloomy almond eyes.

It was her in the previous life, and she became Concubine Shen in this life. Could it be that the Shen family can't escape the ordeal of fighting for the throne?

At this moment, Shen Anan suddenly understood everything.

Concubine Shen brought her into the palace just for today's conspiracy to tie the Shen family and Xiao Yuan together. She didn't even know whether that person was involved.

Although she had no idea what was going on with that vase, she was sure that it was a means used by Xiao Yuan to deal with Concubine Ning.

The emperor's son now places all his anger on Concubine Ning. When he comes to his senses, he will doubt Concubine Shen's motives and conclude that the Shen family is on Xiao Yuan's side to deal with Concubine Ning and the second prince.

She was negligent. She thought that although Xiao Yuan was cold-hearted, he was by no means a despicable person.

"A tall tree attracts the wind. The Shen family's stance is equivalent to deciding the crown prince for the emperor. Where do you get the confidence that the Shen family can be tolerated by the emperor? Grandmother said you are stupid, and she really didn't wrong you at all."

Shen Anan's words were very unpleasant to the ear. Concubine Shen's face was extremely ugly, and she couldn't speak because her throat was blocked.

Shen Anan had already left the palace quickly, "Go back and pack your things and return home immediately."
