Chapter 22 What secrets does my sister know about Concubine Wan?

Does the tyrant feel comfortable when he is not in the presence of others?

She had planned to take Hongguo and Lvgua to the big tree after breakfast to enjoy the cool air, eat melon seeds and gossip, but now they are all soaking in the hot spring.

Shen Chaoyan complained as she walked, and met several concubines on the way to the Qianqing Palace.

Xue Youran had a very happy chat with her last night, and when he saw her, he came over to greet her, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Shen Chaoyan thought of the lingering dream last night, and replied vaguely, "Not bad, how about you?"

Xue Youran moved her face closer and complained to Shen Chaoyan in a low voice, "I don't know how a big mosquito flew into my tent last night, and kept buzzing around my ear. I tried to catch it for half the night but couldn't catch it! Look at me here, I was bitten by several big red spots, it hurts and itches, it's so uncomfortable!"

There were a few small red bumps on her cheeks and corners of her mouth, and her angry expression made her look a little more adorable.

Shen Chaoyan also hated mosquitoes. In this dynasty, there were no electric mosquito swatters, mosquito coils, or mosquito repellents, and it was really painful to be bitten.

Fortunately, she had a divine book, which contained many mosquito repellent recipes. She asked Green Melon and Red Fruit to make several sachets according to the recipes, which were particularly effective in repelling mosquitoes.

"I have some mosquito repellent sachets. I'll have someone send you a few when I get back. They're filled with Chinese herbal medicines like mugwort and mint leaves, which are very effective against mosquitoes."

"Okay, then let me thank you first, sister." Xue Youran took her arm affectionately and gossiped curiously, "It's strange to say, how come Concubine Xian was in the emperor's bed last night and made the emperor fall ill? I wanted to take a nap after breakfast!"

Shen Chaoyan was worried that no one had a lot of gossip to share with her. When Xue Youran asked about it, she immediately pulled her aside and whispered to share gossip, "I heard that Concubine Xian didn't even sleep with the emperor last night because the emperor fell ill last night."

Xue Youran's eyes lit up, "There's this matter too, tell us more about it!"

Shen Chaoyan was worried that no one had a lot of gossip to share with her.

She opened her mouth and was about to speak when she heard the voices of the concubines praising Concubine Xian.

"Sister Xianfei was favored by the emperor last night, and you look radiant this morning!"

"Sister Xianfei, the tourmaline earrings you are wearing are so beautiful! Where did you buy them?"

Concubine Xian listened to the compliments and smiled coquettishly, "This was given to me by the emperor after I slept with him last night." "

Sister Xianfei is so lucky, others are really jealous!"

The concubines surrounding Concubine Xian heard this and started to praise her again.

"Yes, Sister Xianfei is the first one among us to sleep with the emperor, and she will definitely be the first to give birth to a prince in the future."

"Hey, Sister Xianfei, why is there a black spot on your hand?"

Xianfei raised her hand to lift her hair complacently, and the sharp-eyed Xie Cairen immediately noticed that the little finger of her right hand was black.

Xianfei's eyes fell on her right hand, and her expression froze.

When she received the empress dowager's oral order to serve the emperor, she found that her hand was stained with ink, and she didn't wash it clean after washing it several times.

Time was tight, so she could only change into a long-sleeved dress to cover her hand. She

was so flattered by these concubines that she accidentally exposed the ink on her hand.

At this time, Concubine Xian's brain was working rapidly, and she replied with a pious face, "This morning I heard that the emperor had caught a cold, so I just copied the scriptures to pray for the emperor, hoping that the emperor can recover soon."

Shen Chaoyan, who was walking behind, heard her lying without changing her expression, turned her head and whispered to Xue Youran, "After Concubine Xian returned from Yangxin Palace early this morning, she was summoned to serve the sick before her head even touched the pillow. How could she have time to copy scriptures? The ink on her hands was stained when she fell asleep while grinding ink last night ."

"What? Shen Changzai, you said that the ink on Concubine Xian's hands was not stained by copying scriptures, but by grinding ink in Yangxin Palace last night?"

Shen Qingwan suddenly spoke up as soon as Shen Chaoyan finished speaking.

She had been following Shen Chaoyan and the others silently.

After overhearing such explosive news, she deliberately raised her voice and asked the front concubine Xianfei for confirmation with an innocent look, "Sister Xianfei, is what Shen Changzai said true?"

As soon as these words came out, all the concubines stopped and turned around to look in the direction of Shen Chaoyan.

Xianfei not only has a high status, but her father is also the prime minister who is second only to the emperor.

Shen Chaoyan is just a Changzai. Did she get kicked in the head by a donkey to dare to go against Xianfei's face?

Shen Chaoyan was so engrossed in her conversation with Xue Youran that she didn't expect Shen Qingwan to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Looking at the provocation in Shen Qingwan's eyes, she couldn't help but ask Tianshu: [Tianshu, someone is eavesdropping, why didn't you tell me? ]

Tianshu: [Host, eavesdropping on gossip does not pose a threat to your personal safety, so reporting her is not within the scope of this Tianshu's service. After all, the more people who eat melons, the stronger the ability of this heavenly book to search for gossip will be. 】

【You unreliable useless book! What good will it do you if you kill the host? 】

It seems that I can't rely on the heavenly book completely in the future.

Fortunately, Shen Chaoyan is not a pushover and saw through Shen Qingwan's purpose at once.

This woman just wants to attract hatred for her and kill people with a borrowed knife.

Shen Chaoyan's principle of doing things is that I won't offend others if they don't offend me, but if someone offends me, I will dig up his ancestral grave!

Since Shen Qingwan spoke first, she won't be polite!

Shen Chaoyan's eyes rolled, and she pinched her thigh with her hands in her sleeves. She raised her eyes that were filled with tears from pain, "Sister Wanpin, although I know your background, I have never said a word to others since I entered the palace! Why did you splash dirty water on me, and even tried to kill me with the help of Sister Xianfei? Sister Xianfei's intention of copying scriptures and praying for the emperor is so precious, what is your intention in humiliating Sister Xianfei like this?"

Shen Qingwan saw Shen Chaoyan splashing dirty water back, her eyes darkened, and she said in a deep voice, "Shen Changzai, stop spitting blood! It was you who said that Sister Xianfei was unable to sleep with you last night, why are you blaming me?"

"Sister Wanpin, I have never thought of telling your secret to others, why do you force me?"

Shen Chaoyan said, her eyelashes fluttering, tears falling down like they were free.

Acting, huh?

Come on!

She didn't watch so many palace fighting dramas in her previous life for nothing!

Next to her, Xue Youran would not sit idly by and watch Shen Qingwan bully Shen Chaoyan.

She showed curiosity, "Oh? What secrets does sister know about Wanpin?"

With her taking the lead in changing the topic, everyone's attention shifted to Shen Qingwan.

Shen Chaoyan cast a grateful look at Xue Youran, then wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and complained, "I didn't plan to tell anyone that Sister Wanpin's mother was a brothel girl. But Sister Wanpin wanted to take the opportunity to silence me because I knew her secret!"

Her words were like a thunderclap that went off in the blue.

Brothel girls are all sluts, they are not even worthy of entering the palace to be maids, let alone being the emperor's woman!

Ask everyone present, who doesn't have a clean family background, and whose mother's family is not well-known?

After hearing Shen Chaoyan's words, everyone looked at Shen Qingwan differently, with contempt and disgust in their inquiry.

"Shut up!"

Shen Qingwan panicked, but still insisted, "Don't listen to her nonsense! My family background is clean! My father is the county magistrate of Yicheng, and my mother is the daughter of the richest man in Yicheng. How can you humiliate me like this?"

The third prince is really capable. He arranged a brand new identity for her in such a short time!

Fake is fake. She has the Book of Heaven in her hand, and it will only take her a few minutes to expose Shen Qingwan!

Shen Chaoyan chuckled, "What a coincidence, there are palace maids from Yicheng in my palace. Since you keep saying that you are from Yicheng, why don't you speak a few words of Yicheng dialect!"

Xue Youran echoed, "I also know a little bit of Yicheng dialect. As long as Concubine Wan speaks a few words of Yicheng dialect in front of everyone, she can prove her innocence!"

"I..."

Shen Qingwan has never been to Yicheng, how could she speak Yicheng dialect?

She was in a dilemma, her pretty face flushed.

The current situation was extremely unfavorable to her!

If Liu Ruyan was her mother, she would be guilty of deceiving the emperor!

"I asked you to go to the Qianqing Palace to serve the sick, what are you doing here?"

With a stern voice, the Queen Mother, surrounded by more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, slowly stopped in front of the gathered concubines.
