Chapter 314
After leaving the palace, he did not return to the General's Mansion, but went directly to the Shen Mansion.
When the steward saw that it was him, his expression immediately turned serious, and he said repeatedly, "General Shen, please allow me to inform the master."
The master and the top courtesan of the Red Chamber are in the study, and it is not convenient for them to see anyone at the moment.
Shen Zheng was furious at the moment, and he couldn't listen to the steward's words. He raised his hand and pushed the steward who was blocking his way, strode to the study of the Shen residence, and kicked open the locked door!
With a 'bang,' the unsavory scene inside the study was revealed. Shen Zheng was sitting in a chair, entangled with a woman. The woman was lying on top of him, and her red bodice was still hanging around his neck.
When Shen Zheng kicked the door open and entered, both of them were stunned. Shen Zheng was so frightened that he trembled all over. Immediately, a disgusting and filthy smell filled the room.
Ignoring Shen Zheng's flushed and pale expression, Shen Zheng stood at the door and said, "Father, I agree to what you told me last time."
With just a few words, Shen Zheng's expression changed from surprise to joy. He disregarded the woman still lying in his arms and pushed her to the ground.
The woman cried out in alarm as her pale body crashed to the ground, emitting a pained scream.
Shen Zheng didn't care at all. He picked up the outer robe on the table, put it on, and said to Shen Zheng with delight, "Good boy, good boy, it's good that you've thought it through. Then you and I, father and son, will discuss this further!"
After saying that, he glanced at the woman on the ground with disgust and ordered the steward standing behind Shen Zheng: "Drag her away immediately."
The study was immediately flooded with servants and maids. They dragged the woman down, cleaned the study, lit incense, and then Shen Zheng stepped inside.
His first words upon entering the study were: "Father, His Majesty has been bewitched by a wicked concubine. Father and I must purge the emperor of these corrupt officials and protect our country!"
He will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!
Shen Zheng stroked his beard and laughed, "Good, Zheng'er, it's good that you've thought it through. Tonight, you will write a letter to the Crown Prince Chongmeng, and I will also find a way to send a message to Shen Man. The two of us, father and son, will kill the wicked concubine and behead the tyrannical emperor!"
Not long after Shen Zheng returned to the capital, Shen Zheng subtly suggested that he collude with the Crown Prince Chongmeng. Although Shen Zheng occasionally corresponded with the Crown Prince, he remained hesitant.
The humiliation the imperial concubine inflicted on him today finally made him make up his mind.

Another period of time has passed.
Inside the palace, in the golden hall, the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms.
"Your Highness, the osmanthus flowers His Majesty sent are truly fragrant," Xiaoju exclaimed as she sprinkled water droplets on the bright yellow osmanthus blossoms.
Zhu Lan massaged Shen Qingnian's shoulders and smiled as she echoed, "Whenever the osmanthus flowers in our palace wither, His Majesty will order Eunuch Xia to bring a bouquet of fresh osmanthus flowers. The entire Golden Palace is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. His Majesty is truly very thoughtful."
The only one His Majesty would be so concerned about is our Empress.
A smile appeared on Shen Qingnian's face. She looked up from the book in her hand and looked at Xiaoju: "There are many osmanthus flowers in the palace. Pick some and send them to the Goddess and the Third Prince. Tell them that the Mid-Autumn Festival of Da Xuan is approaching, and I will also send some osmanthus flowers for them to enjoy."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiaoju bowed and withdrew.
During this period, Shen Qingnian would occasionally send people to deliver things to the goddess and the third prince, without asking for the goddess's answer that day.
At first, there was no response to the gifts sent to the goddess, but in recent days, the goddess has started to send some pastries.
"Is Shen agreeing to that?" Shen Qingnian asked Zhu Lan again.
Since Zi Chen agreed to visit the Ice Palace that night, she has remained bedridden and has never stepped out of her palace again.
Zhu Lan replied softly:
