Chapter 27 Don't be afraid, it's me!

Feiyan Palace.

Shen Chaoyan held the mirror in her hand, looking at Sikong Yan's masterpiece on her face, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she was speechless.

She thought Sikong Yan would draw a big turtle for her, but he actually drew her extended straight eyebrows, extended eyelashes, and a full beard, and even drew a sky-high monkey on her white and clean forehead.

I have to admit that this man has some talent for painting.

The monkey is painted vividly.

What?

Implying that she is a wild monkey that no one can control?

Shen Chaoyan stared at the mirror and felt more and more ugly. With such a face, she would scare people even if she didn't go out, okay?

No wonder the tyrant made her come back in a sedan chair!

"Green Gua, go get me a basin of warm water." Shen Chaoyan was a rebellious person. The tyrant didn't let her take a bath, but she insisted on taking a bath.

"Yes." Green Gua was quick and nimble, and quickly fetched water.

Shen Chaoyan changed three basins of water before she washed the ink stains on her face.

In the evening, Sikong Huang didn't come until she finished taking a flower petal bath.

Similarly, her reward didn't come.

Men's words are really lies.

Shen Chaoyan cursed a few words, sat in front of the dressing table, picked up the facial cream and was about to apply it on her face.

The Book of Heaven suddenly appeared in front of her: [Host, danger! This bottle of facial cream is poisonous! ]

Shen Chaoyan's hand that was twisting the lid stopped: [I brought this facial cream from home and use it every day. How could it be poisonous? 】

The facial cream was made by her according to the recipe in the Heavenly Book when she was at Shen's house and had nothing to do. It is green, natural and pollution-free, whitens and moisturizes the skin, and feels refreshing when applied on the face.

Heavenly Book: [In the evening, someone secretly added poison in it. As long as you use it, the skin on your face will rot, and the scars will not disappear even if you cure it in the future. 】

Shen Chaoyan held the delicate facial cream in her hand: [It means that if I use this facial cream, my face will be ruined. 】

Heavenly Book: [That's right. 】

Shen Chaoyan narrowed her eyes and reasoned: [When I applied the facial cream yesterday morning, there was no problem. There is a green melon watching my bedroom, and outsiders will definitely not be able to get in. There must be an insider who poisoned me. Tell me, who is that person? 】

The Heavenly Book immediately showed a name.

Shen Chaoyan was usually friendly to others and had never been harsh to the servants in the palace. How big a grudge could they have to disfigure her?

One could easily guess that she must have been bribed.

She wanted to see why the other party wanted to betray her.

So, Shen Chaoyan turned around and ordered, "Lugua, go and call Wanxia over."

Although Wanxia was sent to serve Shen Chaoyan, she was only responsible for sweeping the inside and outside of the palace and had never served Shen Chaoyan in person.

"Yes."

Lugua didn't know why her mistress was looking for her, but she still ran to find her as soon as possible.

"My lady, Wanxia is here."

Wanxia immediately saluted Shen Chaoyan, "I pay my respects to you, my lady."

Shen Chaoyan glanced at her and said lightly, "Wanxia, ​​I have not been in the palace for a long time, and I don't know much about the palace rules. I asked you tonight to ask if you have any opinions about me?"

Wanxia shook her head quickly, "I dare not."

Shen Chaoyan chuckled, "It's not that I don't dare, not that I don't have any opinions."

Wanxia was originally guilty and denied it flatly, "That's not what I meant. My lady treats me very well, and I have no second thoughts about you!"

Bang!

Seeing that she had no intention of confessing, Shen Chaoyan didn't beat around the bush and threw the bottle of facial cream in her hand at her, "I have no second thoughts, so you poisoned my face cream? Do you want to ruin my appearance?"

Wanxia met Shen Chaoyan's cold eyes, her heart trembled violently, and her face was full of shock.

The poison was applied in the evening. Wanxia chose a time when no one was around. Shen Chaoyan had obviously gone to have dinner at that time. How did she know that the facial cream was poisoned?

"My lady! I didn't do it. I am innocent!"

"Really?" Shen Chaoyan raised her eyebrows. "Then take the facial cream and apply it on your face in front of me now. You can't leave until you finish the whole bottle!"

Wanxia panicked and fell to her knees. "My lady, spare my life!"

Shen Chaoyan walked up to her and stared at her from above. "I just asked you to apply the facial cream. I didn't put a knife to your neck and let you die. Why do you have to spare your life?"

The blood on Wanxia's face quickly faded under Shen Chaoyan's gaze.

She did not make excuses, but kowtowed vigorously, "My lady, I was wrong! Please spare my life!"

Shen Chaoyan had never seen a palace maid with such a poor psychological quality. She showed her true colors on the spot after just a little intimidation.

"I can give you a chance to make amends. Tell me honestly, who ordered you to poison?"

Wanxia's face froze, and she shook her head with a pale face, "No one ordered me to do it. It was all my own idea!"

The green melons next to her couldn't stand it anymore, "Wanxia, ​​a few days ago, you said that your mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment. The lady gave you twenty taels of silver and asked someone to take it out of the palace to send it to you. Home! The young lady is so good to you, why do you want to harm her? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? "

Wanxia's eyes seemed to waver, but she still did not give out the person who instructed her, "Young lady, I was bewitched and failed you! I have no way to repay your great kindness to me, and I can only die to apologize!"

After saying that, without waiting for Lugua to speak again, she got up from the ground and hit the wall.

Fortunately, Shen Chaoyan was quick and grabbed her, "Do you think death can solve the problem? Even if you don't confess, I have a way to find out who is the mastermind behind the attempt to harm me. "

In fact, she has already understood the cause and effect clearly from the Book of Heaven.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Xu were jealous of her sleeping with the emperor last night, and wanted to destroy her face and make her lose favor completely.

They targeted Wanxia because her brother worked for Xu Guiren's family. If Wanxia didn't poison him, Xu Guiren would write to her father and ask him to beat Wanxia's brother to a pulp and confiscate the land rented by Xu's parents, making their family's life a living hell.

Wanxia had no choice but to agree to poison him.

Now that the truth has been exposed and her family's lives are in the hands of Noble Xu, how could she dare to confess the mastermind?

"It was me! It was I who poisoned! Please let me die!" Wanxia said, knocking her head loudly.

Soon, her forehead was broken and blood flowed all over her face.

But she didn't care at all and continued to kowtow, hoping to survive.

Shen Chaoyan knew that she was ready to take the blame for Concubine Xian and Noble Xu with her own life, so as to save her family.

Since this was her choice, Shen Chaoyan didn't force it.

"Wanxia, ​​I won't kill you, but I won't keep someone like you who has ulterior motives around me. Green gua, pass on my order. Wanxia has committed a serious mistake and will be sent to the Ye Ting Bureau. She will never be transferred back in her lifetime!" The

Ye Ting Bureau is located in the northernmost part of the harem. It is remote and cold. Entering the Ye Ting Bureau is a crime.

The slaves in it were sent there because they made mistakes. They do the most tiring and difficult dirty work, emptying toilets, cleaning toilets, washing clothes, living a humble and lowly life, a life worse than death.

Wanxia knew that once she entered the Ye Ting Bureau, she would become a lowly servant who could be stepped on by anyone.

However, it is better to live a miserable life than to die.

She kowtowed three times to Shen Chaoyan, "Thank you for not killing me!"

Lugua called Xiao Fuzi, Xiao Luzi, and Xiao Shouzi to drag Wanxia away.

She and Hongguo brought a basin of water and knelt on the ground to carefully clean the blood stains left by Wanxia's kowtow.

Hongguo was not here just now. She was very angry when she heard Lugua talk about Wanxia. "My lady, Wanxia is so ungrateful. You are so good to her, why does she want to hurt you?"

Shen Chaoyan was in a stable mood. "Born in the harem, you are often forced to do things against your will. I can understand her conflicting feelings when she poisoned me, but I will not forgive her behavior. So, even though I didn't kill her, she will suffer more painful torture for the rest of her life."

Lugua said angrily, "She deserves it!"

Shen Chaoyan looked at the two girls who were speaking up for her and said with a smile, "She has been punished. You don't have to fight for an insignificant person. After what happened tonight, you must remember that if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must tell me in time. We, the master and the servant, are now a community of interests. We prosper together and suffer together. Do you understand? "

Hongguo and Lugua vied to show their loyalty to her, "My lady, don't worry, we will never do anything to hurt you!"

Hongguo thought for a moment and couldn't help but said, "But why would Wanxia, ​​a little palace maid, poison you?"

Shen Chaoyan looked at this careful girl and replied, "Of course she was used as a gun."

Hongguo spoke up for her, "My lady, let's tell the emperor about this and let him make the decision for you and catch the person behind the scenes!"

"I know what's going on with this matter, you guys go and have some rest."

Shen Chaoyan didn't want to let Concubine Xian and Concubine Xu go, but she had asked the Heavenly Book, and she knew that the poisoning was all done by Wanxia alone. Without evidence, she couldn't bring them down all at once.

Besides, the families of these two people were very powerful. Without a chance of winning, she would hold back for the time being.

There is a long way to go, there will always be a chance to uproot them!

But she has to be more careful in the future. If the first person in her palace can be bribed, then the second person can be bribed, and the third...

She lay on the bed, thinking silently about what happened at night. Thanks to the Heavenly Book, otherwise she would have become cannon fodder in the palace fight.

The Heavenly Book proudly appeared: [Host, now you know how powerful I am. Shen Chaoyan

: Yes, yes, you are the best! By the way, I only read half of "The Love and Hate between the Pig Killer and Widow Wang" the night before yesterday, and I will continue to read it tonight.

Since she got the heavenly book, her bedtime stories every night have become more exciting.

So, the heavenly book turned to the place where Shen Chaoyan marked the bookmark and let her continue reading.

Widow Wang picked up her clothes from the stream and covered them tightly in front of her: "Who is there?"

In the dark night, the pig killer slowly walked out from behind the stone.

Under the moonlight, the pig butcher looked at the exposed shoulders of Widow Wang and swallowed, "Don't be afraid, Sister Wang, it's me."

Widow Wang turned her head away and stopped looking at him, "Brother Zhao, you should go back soon. I have nothing to do alone. If your mother and your sister-in-law knew that you were with me, I'm afraid they would blame me for seducing you."

The pig butcher knew that she was wronged, so he couldn't restrain himself and pulled her into his arms, "Sister Wang, I've made it clear to them. I will not marry anyone else in this life!"

Widow Wang was startled, and the clothes that were blocking her body fell to the ground.

Seeing the pig killer staring at her, she blushed and quickly reached out to cover his eyes: "Don't look." With

such a beautiful woman in his arms, the pig killer couldn't help himself and bent down to kiss her...

Ah!

The pig killer is so powerful, and he drives the car in the wild so vigorously!

Just when Shen Chaoyan was getting excited, she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the window.

A black shadow climbed in through the window with ease.

Shen Chaoyan stared at the black shadow standing by the window, and her mind became clear instantly.

She quietly grasped the dagger hidden under the pillow and said vigilantly, "Who's there?"
