Chapter 134: Pleading for Shen Qingyu
If Su Xiaoxiao knew what he was thinking, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
Sympathy is the last thing she should have for Shen Qingyu and Gu Huaizhi.
Shen Qingyu has been thinking about a way out since Shen Tianyou got into trouble. She didn't expect Shen Tianyou to be so stupid that he would just shut up and get himself into trouble.
Although this body belongs to Shen Qingyu, she never thinks of herself as a member of the Shen family.
Everyone in the Shen family treats her as an unfavored concubine. She also thought about replacing Su Xiaoxiao with her own abilities and becoming a popular person around the emperor.
However, she failed every time.
After Shen Tianyou discovered her abilities, he became a little more concerned about her.
However, after she suffered a series of setbacks, Shen Tianyou no longer had any hope for her.
Moreover, Shen Tianyou is old and has no ambition. The only thing he wants is to protect his own son. It would be better to support himself than to support such a useless person.
But Shen Tianyou insisted on his own way. Not only did he fail, but he also dragged the entire Shen family to suffer with him. Just thinking about it, Shen Qingyu felt angry.
Shen Qingyao walked over angrily: "You still have the leisure to lie here. Such a big thing happened to your grandfather. Why don't you think of a way to save him!"
Shen Qingyu slightly opened her eyelids and said lazily: "Since you are so filial, go and save him yourself!"
"You..." Shen Qingyao was speechless.
Shen Qingyu said coldly: "I am just an unfavored concubine. What can I do? Sister, you have enjoyed the best resources and connections in the mansion since you were a child. It is best for you to take action." Shen Qingyao was
so angry that her lips turned purple: "How do you know I didn't go?"
She ran around all the families she had friendships with, but no one let her in.
Without her grandfather's identity and title, she was nothing.
"Then there is no other way?" Shen Qingyu said lightly: "My sister can't do it, what can I do?"
Shen Qingyao softened her tone: "Aren't you good friends with the eldest prince? Go and beg him to help. Although grandfather made a big mistake, we are innocent. As long as the eldest prince is willing to help, we two sisters will be safe."
Shen Qingyu smiled: "I thought my sister was worried about grandfather. "Father, you are worried about your future. Sister, sister, you are so smart. You can easily find a way to protect yourself. Don't count on the eldest prince."
Shen Qingyao looked at Shen Qingyu with contempt: "I thought you had some friendship with the eldest prince, but now it seems that you are just so-so. Don't gloat over the misfortune. Even if I am a concubine, I will be implicated."
After saying that, she left viciously.
Shen Qingyu was not as calm as she appeared. As soon as Shen Qingyao left, she kicked over the footstool beside her in anger: "Damn it!"
She hoped that the eldest prince would plead for her, so that she would win over Shen Qingyao. She was also afraid that the eldest prince would plead for her. The eldest prince needed to keep a low profile and it was not appropriate for him to get involved in such disputes.
Shen Qingyu thought about it and felt that she was thinking too much. Gu Huaizhi was a very good person. He had carefully calculated every step. How could he fail for her?
Shen Qingyu closed her eyes in annoyance. Whatever you want!
Outside the Qinzheng Palace, the eldest prince knelt motionlessly, and the scorching sun made his back ache.
Eunuch Yang advised, "Eldest Prince, aren't you posing a difficult question for the Emperor? Shen Tianyou committed a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of his clan, but now he is only exiled, which is already a great favor from the Emperor. You insist that he show leniency to Miss Shen. How can the Emperor not be angry? Just
listen to me, and go and plead guilty to the Emperor, and the matter will be over."
The eldest prince said stubbornly, "If my father does not forgive the second Miss Shen, I will kneel here and never get up!"
The Emperor scolded him in the palace, "Then let him kneel and die outside. He has become so arrogant that he dares to threaten me!"
The Emperor felt unhappy when he saw Gu Huaizhi like this. He was exactly like his dead mother.
He admitted that he did not have much affection for Gu Huaizhi, but compared to what his mother did in the past, he was generous enough to tolerate him to this day and never treat him harshly.
If she had not been scheming, how could she have given birth to an heir before the empress.
That's all. On the one hand, she tried her best to seduce the emperor, and on the other hand, she was entangled with an old acquaintance.
If Gu Huaizhi did not look exactly like the emperor when he was a child, the emperor would have doubted whether he was his own child.
Back then, Concubine Li also knelt outside the palace and begged the emperor to spare that man.
Like mother, like son, the same love-minded, the same stupidity.
"Since you want to die so much, then I will grant you your wish!" The emperor said this and never paid any attention to Gu Huaizhi again.
Gu Huaizhi knelt down for most of the night, but the emperor did n't give
in. Finally, he fainted due to exhaustion and was sent back to the palace. Eunuch Yang said to the housekeeper, "Keep a good eye on your prince. If he keeps making such a fuss, he might cause some trouble."
The housekeeper carried him back, and the palace was in turmoil again.
"What is our prince thinking? He is obviously not favored, but he still has to plead for Miss Shen Er. Isn't this just asking for trouble!" "
Who said he wasn't? The eldest prince is usually very smart. He doesn't get involved in anything and lives his life quietly. In a situation like his, he should just be like this. "
"If you ask me, the eldest prince has done what a man should do this time. It doesn't matter if he is not favored, he can't just watch his beloved girl go to die and remain indifferent!"
Many palace maids agreed with this.
They all saw how good Miss Shen was to their eldest prince. A few days ago, the eldest prince fell ill and didn't see anyone. It was Miss Shen who had been serving him.
But in their hearts, no one wanted the eldest prince to save Miss Shen. Miss Shen was too scary. She was so young, but her eyes were so fierce and scary.
The maid who had been serving the eldest prince suddenly died a few days after Shen Qingyu came.
The people below were saying that Miss Shen was jealous of her for serving the eldest prince, so she killed her.
"I don't want Miss Shen to be the mistress of the city prince's mansion. I want to live a few more years."
The palace maids all nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the groom Lao Kui came over slowly with heavy steps, and the whip in his hand kept hitting the ground, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
His wrinkled face was unclear, but his eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone.
The palace maids immediately fell silent, they couldn't afford to offend Lao Kui. Although Lao Kui was just a groom and a mute, he didn't give face to anyone. If he got angry, he would whip people with a whip.
However, the eldest prince only rode in his carriage.
