Chapter 45: Deposed Crown Prince Xie Wanzhou
After thinking for a moment, Shen Ningyuan said softly: "In this case, I will leave the palace immediately after dinner."
As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan looked at Song Yaner and asked, "Where is sister-in-law? Do you want to go back with me, or stay in the palace with Concubine Ying?"
Song Yan'er looked embarrassed and subconsciously looked at her elder sister, "Elder sister, do you think I should go back or stay in the palace for another day?"
"Since I entered the palace, we two sisters have never met each other again. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to the palace, so stay with me for one night. I will arrange for someone to send you back to the Shen family tomorrow."
"Okay." Song Yan'er turned to Chen Ningyuan, "I'm sorry, Yuan'er, you have to go back alone tonight."
Shen Ningyuan shook her head and responded: "It's okay, sister-in-law should spend more time with Concubine Ying and have more intimate conversations."
After women enter the palace, they are no freer than those outside.
The sisters haven't seen each other for many years, so they should spend more time together.
Hearing this, Song Ying'er immediately said, "Okay, I'll send someone to tell His Majesty that my younger sister will be in the palace tonight and will not serve you in the bedchamber."
As she spoke, Song Ying'er exhaled and muttered softly, "Huh... I can finally take a day off."
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
Song Yaner: “???”
Both of them heard Song Ying'er's muttering, and their expressions were different.
Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and smiled softly.
I thought that if the emperor heard this, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
However, it can also be seen from this that my sister-in-law's eldest sister is very favored, otherwise how could she have been exhausted by sleeping with him?
After dinner, it was getting dark.
Song Ying'er arranged for two palace maids to escort Shen Ningyuan out of the palace.
Chen Ningyuan followed the two palace servants and walked towards the main gate of the palace.
But halfway through the journey, Shen Ningyuan raised her eyes and looked around, noticing something strange.
He immediately stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Isn't this the way to the main gate of the palace?"
Hearing this, the two palace maids froze, but still pretended to be calm and looked at Shen Ningyuan, "It's like this, my queen was afraid that something might happen on the way out of the palace, so she told us to take a secluded path to take you out of the palace."
"I see."
Shen Ningyuan responded and continued to walk forward.
After walking through a long corridor, the two palace maids looked at each other and nodded.
Afterwards, the two slowed down their pace, and when they passed a corner, they immediately turned in, leaving Shen Ningyuan alone in the corridor.
When Shen Ningyuan looked back, where was the shadow of the palace maid behind her?
His face immediately darkened.
Unexpectedly, what Concubine Ying was worried about still happened.
Moreover, the Queen's spies have been planted in Shulan Palace.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan took a deep breath and continued to walk to the end of the corridor.
Because she was not familiar with the palace, she didn't know where this place was.
I can only move forward based on my feeling and see if I can meet any patrolling guards.
But this place was so remote that she walked around for a long time but didn't see a single guard.
Shen Ningyuan's brows sank, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Clang——
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from an old palace beside him.
Anyone?
Shen Ningyuan's face lit up with joy.
As long as there was someone, she could ask for directions out of the palace.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan walked up the steps and pushed open the old palace door.
With a creak, the heavy door was pushed open, and a rotten smell wafted into the air.
Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but frowned and fanned her nose with her hand.
After the stale smell dissipated, Shen Ningyuan stepped into the palace gate and walked in tentatively step by step.
During this process, Shen Ningyuan never raised her head.
If she had looked up above the palace gate before entering.
You will find that on the door plaque covered with cobwebs, there are three big characters "Lin'an Hall" engraved with old cinnabar.
-
At this time, the two palace maids who had just abandoned Shen Ningyuan had already arrived at the bedroom where He Yunshu had just moved in - Shuyun Palace.
This was originally a leisure place she renovated to grow flowers and plants when she had nothing to do, but she didn't expect that after Shen Ningyuan got angry and left, this place became her new bedroom.
After seeing the two palace maids running over, He Yunshu asked leisurely, "Is everything done?"
"Your Majesty, we have already brought the young lady of the Ji family to the bedroom of the deposed Crown Prince." One of the palace maids said in a low voice.
"Well done." He Yunshu's lips curled up coldly, "You are two chess pieces that I have planted beside Concubine Ying. Now that you are exposed to deal with that little bitch, I feel a little sorry for it."
"How about this, I will give you a sum of money, enough for you to live a stable life for the rest of your life. After you leave the palace, you can live your life to settle down!" He Yunshu said lazily.
The two palace maids looked at each other and saw the same excitement in each other's eyes.
The two bowed deeply to He Yunshu, "Thank you very much, Queen!"
The two palace maids were so excited that they didn't notice the murderous intent in He Yunshu's eyes.
Seeing this, He Yunshu waved her hand lazily, "Alright, alright, go down. I've been busy for a long time today and I'm a little tired."
After the two palace maids left, He Yunshu looked at her personal maid Wen Ying and made a gesture of wiping her neck.
Wen Ying didn't say anything, just nodded, turned and walked out of Shuyun Palace.
When there was no one around, He Yunshu's lips curled up with a look of success.
"Cui Jin, if I can't get you, can't I get your daughter?"
He Yunshu narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone was cold, "I want to see if your precious child can survive in the hands of that lunatic Xie Wanzhou!"
As she spoke, the curve of He Yunshu's mouth became wider.
At this time, Shen Ningyuan had already walked through the front yard covered with dead grass and fallen leaves, walked up the steps step by step, and carefully pushed open the door of the front hall.
Swoosh——
As soon as the door was opened, a wine jar was thrown towards her.
Shen Ningyuan's eyes widened and she subconsciously dodged to the side.
The wine jar brushed past her ear and hit the yard outside with a clang.
Shen Ningyuan frowned.
This was the voice she had just heard.
Who lives in this palace?
Not only is the location remote, but there is not even a single palace servant to serve him.
Could it be that...
Is this that person's bedroom?
The words that Concubine Ying said flashed through his mind, and Shen Ningyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes widened as big as copper bells.
Looking at the countless curtains hanging down in the hall, there was an air of desolation.
Shen Ningyuan only felt a chill on her back.
We can't stay here for long!
Shen Ningyuan didn't dare to hesitate at all, staggered and turned to run outside.
But it's too late.
With the sound of the wheels turning, it slowly approached behind me.
A cold and deep voice suddenly spoke, "Are you here to bring me some wine?"
Shen Ningyuan shuddered, not daring to respond or reply, and ran outside with her skirt lifted.
"No wine?"
"run……"
"court death!"
As soon as the words fell, a long whip was pulled out from the hall, wrapped around Shen Ningyuan's waist, and brought her back to the hall after she had already run to the bottom of the steps.
Bang--
Shen Ningyuan was smashed to the ground heavily.
Although it didn't hurt, my whole body felt numb.
Then, a wooden wheelchair slowly came in front of her.
Shen Ningyuan looked up and saw a man wearing a loose green robe and with an unusually pale face sitting in a wheelchair, looking down at her condescendingly.
"Where's my wine..."
The man pursed his lips, his voice was bone-chilling, and every word he said hit Shen Ningyuan's heart.
