Li Shuren laughed, and as she laughed, she started to cry. She raised her hand and wiped away her tears hatefully.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to be so heartless to me? I've been with you for so many years. Even if I haven't done anything great, I've worked hard. It's fine to be confined to your house, but now, at this critical moment, whether I'm dead or alive, you haven't sent anyone to tell me. You haven't even told me what's happening to our two children. You're just waiting in ambiguity. It really makes me anxious."
When I dote on you, I hold you in my hands. When I don't dote on you, you are nothing. When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Li Shu Ren now truly understood the meaning of this sentence.
As Li Shuren spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears, but Suoxin didn't think so. Sometimes, she always felt that her queen's brain was not working well. It was like, if it was a normal person, at this time, wouldn't they think about how to survive from the brink of death? Unlike their queen, even in this situation, she was still thinking about all kinds of things and asked the emperor to send someone to inform her. What to inform? To inform her of the three pieces of death?
Suoxin pushed Li Shuren's shoulder, trying to shake her awake.
"My queen, my queen."
She was being a bit too forceful and anxious, so her voice inevitably had a hint of urgency. Li Shuren gave her a displeased look.
"Don't push me, I'm already feeling annoyed."
Lock Heart: "......"
She looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh my God, it's already this late. What on earth is going on in their queen's head?"
She curled her lips and stood stiffly aside, wondering what she could do to get the emperor to spare their queen's life.
Shen Nian'an had been standing behind the door for a long time, and heard the conversation between the master and servant clearly.
It seems that this commoner Li has been so stimulated that her brain is becoming less and less functional.
Retracting his thoughts, Shen Nian'an straightened his posture and walked in step by step.
When they saw her for the first time, Li Shuren and Suoxin were a little surprised. Although she was in the cold palace, the etiquette could not be abolished.
Even though Li Shuren glared at her several times, Suoxin still knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Nian'an very attentively. If the master really couldn't keep her, she had to leave herself some way to survive.
"Your servant pays homage to Noble Concubine Hui. May Your Majesty live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
Shen Nian'an didn't think much about Suoxin's sudden show of goodwill. Anyway, no matter what, she probably wouldn't use the palace maids around Li Shuren.
She waved her hand and said, "Go down. I have a few words to say to your master."
Ever since Chen Nian'an came in, Li Shuren has been rolling her eyes at her. It seems that she can't defeat her with real guns and bullets, so she can only satisfy her curiosity.
Seeing that Suoxin was obedient and was about to leave, Li Shuren was the first to refuse. She glanced at Shen Nian'an, raised her neck, and spoke arrogantly.
"Suoxin, come back. You don't even know whose slave you are. Get back here."
Suoxin paused and ran away quickly. She was not a commoner of the Li family, so she could act like this. She had brothers and sisters at home.
Li Shu's already pale face became even paler, and her chest was heaving up and down, showing that she was very angry. She pointed her orchid finger at the place where Suoxin left, unable to say a word.
No matter how destitute Li'an Palace was, it was still much better than the cold palace back then. Shen Nian'an casually found a place to sit down, and looked at Li Shuren's eyes, which were full of sadness.
She curled her lips, thinking about being looked at so sadly by the person she hated most in her life, Li Shuren couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes. She raised her head, still stubborn.
"Noble Concubine Hui, very good. I know that I am now in dire straits and might even die. You are here to laugh at me, right? Do you want to see how miserable and sad I am? I tell you, it's impossible. Even if I die, I will hold my head high and my chest out."
Caught off guard, despite Li Shuren's best efforts to endure, a tear still slipped from the corner of her eye, which she wiped away without a care.
Shen Nian'an shook her head. At this moment, her expression was extremely calm. She even stepped forward and carefully observed Li Shuren.
Li Shuren was alert for once and stepped back, "What do you want to do? Shen Nian'an."
Shaking his head again, Shen Nian'an's words were without any ups and downs.
Thinking of the Second Prince and the Third Prince, Shen Nian'an got straight to the point.
"Commoner Li, you know that rebellion is a capital crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family. The Emperor only hanged Prime Minister Li and left his body exposed at the city gate for ten days. This was done out of respect for the Second and Third Princes. As for you, the Emperor has already issued an imperial decree ordering you to commit suicide. Xiao Shunzi was going to bring you a piece of white silk, a dagger, and a bottle of poisoned wine, but I stopped them."
Li Shuren lowered her eyebrows, but when she heard this, she smiled relaxedly and muttered to herself.
"As expected, I knew that the emperor would not let me go. If I were to stay alive, I would be a nuisance. This is also good. If I die, my life will be clean, and all the bad things I did before can be washed away."
Li Shuren smiled self-deprecatingly. She knew from the beginning that her position in Zhou Beichen's heart was very small. Her eyes and nose were a little sore. Li Shuren wiped her face carelessly to wipe away her tears. She still looked at Shen Nian'an arrogantly and stretched out her hand.
"So, the reason you stopped the things was because you wanted to see me die in front of you, and wanted to see me in such a miserable state. Shen Nian'an, I tell you, that's impossible. Even if I die, I want to die in a dignified way. As for the things, take them. It's just a death, what's there to be afraid of."
At this time, Li Shuren was still overwhelmed by anger. Shen Nian'an's expression changed slightly. She understood more clearly that over the years, with Li Shuren's brain, it would be impossible for her to show kindness to her children again and again. Then, the person who gave her advice behind the scenes must be Concubine Liang.
Shen Nian'an sneered. Seeing her smile, Li Shuren became even angrier and spoke with a sarcastic tone.
"Chen Nian'an, what are you laughing at? You're just going to die anyway. Hurry up and bring the things over. I don't want to waste time with you like this."
Seeing her crazy look, Shen Nian'an suddenly felt very sad. Look at what this palace has done to a good person.
After a pause, Shen Nian'an continued.
"I admit that ever since you repeatedly framed Nuannuan, I hated you so much that I wanted to kill you right away. However, seeing you like this now, and my daughter and son both living well and prosperously, my hatred for you isn't as strong anymore."
Li Shuren slowly raised her head, her tone still harsh, "So, what exactly do you want to do by coming here today?"
She felt her brain was a mess and she was about to be driven crazy. Shen Nian'an only said one sentence, and immediately Li Shuren lost all her grace and pride.
"I came here today only for the Second and Third Princes."
Li Shuren's defense was instantly broken. She grabbed Shen Nian'an's arm without caring about anything else, her eyes red as she spoke viciously.
