Chapter 120 Concubine Ning's Brother

Shen Baoshuang, who had been hesitating, finally spoke up: "Your Majesty, don't you think that my sister's behavior is inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Baoyan's face turned pale.

Seeing her like this, Concubine Chen Guifei smiled and said, "You two sisters are really honest. You dare to tell me this without knowing my feelings."

But he shook his head: "As the saying goes, I won't offend others unless they offend me. But if you are being harmed by others and you just sit there and wait to be killed, then you are stupid."

As Concubine Chen Guifei said this, her gaze gradually drifted away.

That evening, Meiying and Juying came back.

"Miss, I checked the family of Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning's father is Lord Shen, the Minister of the Dali Temple. He is a very upright person. He even has only one concubine, who is his cousin."

"Concubine Ning's mother's family was not from the capital, but from Jianzhou. We have checked and there is no problem."

"There is only one thing. Concubine Ning has only one brother. He is now with our Lord in the Western Camp, serving as a guard beside Lieutenant General Lin."

Concubine Chen couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Beside Lin Zhong?"

Mei Ying nodded: "But I have investigated and found that Shen Hujun has performed very well in the army over the years. Your Majesty should know him."

"Shen Xiao." Concubine Chen Guifei remembered that person. "I do remember him. He is a smart man, not inferior to Lin Zhong. Even my father said that he will become a great man in the future."

When Lu Xingwan heard this, he became excited and said, "I'm familiar with this question!"

[Mother, mother, I know you, I know you, these two people have appeared in the storybook.]

When Concubine Chen Guifei heard Lu Xingwan's words, she stopped talking and pretended to be thinking, just waiting for her next words.

[Shen Xiao appeared in the storybook. He was described by Concubine De as "a dog who was just like a dog around Marquis Dingguo. People who didn't know him would think he was the biological son of the Song family."]

[I never thought that he was Shen Ning's brother.]

[At that time, my grandfather was framed by Prime Minister Cui for treason, and Zhao Saiyuan took his place and served as the general for a period of time.]

[Lin Zhong had always been the most loyal to my grandfather. He tried to assassinate Zhao Saiyuan several times but failed, and was beheaded by Zhao Saiyuan.]

[At this time, Shen Xiao endured the humiliation and stayed beside Zhao Saiyuan. He actually stabbed the Third Prince who was on his way to inspect the camp. The Third Prince almost lost his life.]

[Of course, Concubine De couldn't let him go, but it's strange to say that it seemed that Prime Minister Cui came forward and said that Shen Xiao couldn't be touched, so he was kept. As for the follow-up, there was no explanation. ]

Concubine Chen Guifei was really lost in thought. According to Wanwan's words, Shen Ning's brother was actually a loyal and brave man?

However, based on my previous interactions with him, he is indeed a man of decent character.

"Don't touch him yet, and don't tell my father. The most taboo thing in the military is suspicion," Concubine Chen thought for a moment, and finally made a decision, "Arrange our people to keep an eye on him."

Meiying nodded: "I obey your orders, but Juying has made another discovery."

"Miss, I have been moving around Ninghe Palace these past few days, keeping an eye on Concubine Ning's every move. This was also a cover for Meiying. It was a coincidence that I discovered something." Juying looked at Concubine Chen Guifei with sparkling eyes.

"Yesterday after nightfall, a man in black entered Concubine Ning's inner palace and came out about half an hour later."

"A man?" Concubine Chen Guifei couldn't help but be shocked. Is Concubine Ning cheating on her?

"Yes, I was afraid of exposing myself too much, so I didn't get close. I just looked at the man's stature and knew he was a man."

"What do you think?" Concubine Chen turned her head to look at Meiying, then at Juying.

"From my point of view, it seems that Concubine Ning deliberately revealed something to us. She must know that someone is investigating her, but she doesn't know who it is. This move must be a test."

Concubine Chen nodded: "Since she already knows, she will tell the Dragon Shadow Guard about it."

"You two should stop investigating, lest you reveal your true colors. If you are exposed, you will lose the big picture for the small. Anyway, Concubine Ning has not used any tricks now, and the Dragon Shadow Guards will keep an eye on her in the future."

Meiying and Juying left as ordered.

The news of the man appearing in Ninghe Palace was naturally heard by the Emperor of Great Chu through the Dragon Shadow Guards. As soon as it got dark that day, the Emperor of Great Chu suppressed his anger and walked towards Ninghe Palace.

When Concubine Ning saw that the Great Chu Emperor, who had not been here for a few days, actually came directly to Ninghe Palace, she immediately greeted him with joy: "Your Majesty is here."

The Great Chu Emperor suddenly shook off her hand and walked inside.

Concubine Ning winked at Yunzhu behind her, and Yunzhu left as ordered.

The Great Chu Emperor was not the kind of person who would try to cover up things. He was always decisive in killing people, so he asked, "Did a man come to your palace a few days ago?"

Concubine Ning understood immediately in her mind that the person who had been staring at her in those days was actually someone close to His Majesty?

But why does Your Majesty suspect me?

But this was a trap she had set up early in the morning, so she responded calmly. She pretended to be panicked and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please understand clearly, who instigated you? I dare not do that."

"Don't dare?" The Great Chu Emperor stepped forward and lifted her chin, looking straight into Concubine Ning's eyes full of grievance, "The people around me saw it with their own eyes, how could it be false?"

He still vividly remembered how the Princess of Yuefeng had cheated on him. For the sake of state affairs, he had let that matter go. However, Concubine Ning was only the daughter of a minister. If she really dared to do something obscene, he would make sure that her entire family would be buried with her.

At this moment, Yunzhu rushed in pretending to be panicked: "My queen, Yunyi is here..."

But she seemed to have suddenly discovered the presence of the Great Chu Emperor, and she knelt down suddenly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't know you were here."

Seeing her panic in her voice, he immediately asked, "What do you want to say?"

Yunzhu looked up at the Emperor of Great Chu, then looked at her own queen, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

The Emperor of Great Chu let go of Concubine Ning and suddenly threw the teacup in his hand onto Yunzhu, and the hot tea splashed directly onto Yunzhu's arm.

It was early summer now and clothes were thinner. Yunzhu felt her arm go numb, but she did not dare to move in front of the Emperor of Great Chu.

She just kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. It was Yunyi from the laundry department. She used to be good friends with me. I thought the laundry department was hard, so I asked her to serve you..."

The Great Chu Emperor suddenly became interested: "Call him in!"

Yunzhu naturally did not dare to delay, and she rolled and crawled out to call Yunyi in.

Yunyi was wearing a black nightgown, and because of his broad stature, he looked like a man.

After entering the palace, he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

But the voice sounded like a real woman's voice.

The Great Chu Emperor immediately understood who this person was, and thought that this was the man in black that the Dragon Shadow Guard had mentioned.

I was even more furious at that moment.
