Chapter 302: Palace Fight: Creepy
Was Rong Fei happy? No, she was just horrified.
I felt that Shen Hanqing in the candlelight was so terrifying, like a devil from hell.
Rong Fei's voice trembled slightly, "What exactly does that ointment do?"
Shen Hanqing raised her eyebrows and said in a long voice, "Didn't I say that?"
Rong Fei subconsciously took a step back, the cold air continuously penetrating into her body, "I won't use it again! Not anymore!"
At this moment, the look of Shen Hanqing in Rong Fei's eyes was clearly just sitting there, doing nothing, but it made her feel like she was suffocating.
It was as if her entire body had been cut open by Shen Hanqing, lying naked in front of him, with no trace of her thoughts left to hide.
Even if she left the room, she still couldn't get rid of the web woven by Shen Hanqing, and from the moment she used the ointment, she fell into the web and could never break free.
Rong Fei's voice unconsciously carried a pleading tone, "Is it not okay if I don't need it?"
Shen Hanqing looked at Rong Fei with a smile on his face, as if he was in control of everything.
She said gently: "No, because it's too late."
Rong Fei asked unwillingly: "What if I insist on not using it?"
Shen Hanqing tilted her head slightly, "Let me think about it, what will happen? Maybe... His Majesty will no longer be able to be humane, and even you won't be able to favor him."
Rong Fei may not be deep in thought, but she is not stupid.
This kind of thing will eventually be traced back to her.
She simply could not bear the responsibility of murdering the emperor.
Her father was just an ordinary court official. How could he protect her? He might even implicate his entire clan.
In other words, whether she uses the ointment now or not, she will suffer the same fate.
Rong Fei fell to the ground, "I don't want to die..."
Then she looked at Shen Hanqing, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, “You can help me, right? Right?”
Shen Hanqing thought Rong Fei was very affectionate towards Feng Chengyi, but she didn't expect it to be just like this.
It's quite pathetic to be an emperor. How many of the women in the harem are sincere? They compete for favor only for power.
Shen Hanqing looked at Rong Fei, measured her value, and then said: "This palace can indeed help you, but this palace's help is to replace the emperor for this country, what do you think?"
Rong Fei was so shocked that she couldn't speak. If she accepted Shen Hanqing's help, she would be going from one treasonous path to another.
But she really had no choice.
Rong Fei's voice trembled even more. "What happens after this is over?"
Shen Hanqing stretched out her voice and said, “It’s okay to let you leave the palace.”
Rong Fei felt that this was the best outcome.
But another voice emerged in her heart. If she revealed Shen Hanqing's true face to the emperor, would she no longer be controlled by Shen Hanqing?
Shen Hanqing saw through Rong Fei's thoughts at a glance, "Empress Rong Fei, you think that I, a person who helped the emperor ascend the throne, was treated like this by him, then what about others?"
Rong Fei was completely at a loss of ideas and had no choice.
Perhaps accepting her fate, Rong Fei also calmed down, "What should I do?"
Shen Hanqing replied: "There is no need to do anything, just serve the emperor well."
Rong Fei asked uncertainly, "Will the Emperor discover anything?"
Shen Hanqing's lips curled slightly, "As long as you can prevent the emperor from favoring others, he will naturally not notice."
Rong Fei gritted her teeth and replied, "I understand."
333 is also a little scared. This host is even more terrifying, okay?
He whispered, "It would be better for the host to take more action." At least it wouldn't be so creepy.
Shen Hanqing watched Rong Fei leave and responded, "Palace fighting should be done in a proper manner, right? We have to respect the rules of the game."
333 feels that who can withstand the palace fighting of the host's level.
Besides, this is no longer a palace fight, it is a power struggle.
After a while, 333 asked Shen Hanqing again, "Is the host still not asleep?"
Shen Hanqing picked up the wick and said, “Something hasn’t arrived yet.”
333 feels that he doesn’t need to use his brain, which is quite tiring, and can just watch and be done with it.
After a while, a pigeon landed at the door.
Shen Hanqing stood up and took the letter from the pigeon’s feet.
Letter from Prime Minister Cao.
The key point is very clear, whether Rong Fei's favor is related to Shen Hanqing.
She wants to pull Feng Chengyi down, so who should take his place?
Also, I hope Shen Hanqing will let Qu Shu go.
Shen Hanqing is such an honest person, of course he answered truthfully.
It's related to her, Prince An. Whether or not to let Qu Shu go depends on how Prime Minister Cao performs.
Maybe she is still willing to let Qu Shu leave the palace.
After releasing the pigeons, Shen Hanqing stretched lazily.
The night is over, time to go to bed.
Perhaps Feng Chengyi also saw Shen Hanqing's intention. She was clearly provoking him at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
He could no longer keep the Shen family and had to get rid of them.
So Feng Chengyi summoned Prime Minister Cao, because he knew that only Prime Minister Cao's wisdom and talent could help him eliminate the Shen family.
Prime Minister Cao also knew Feng Chengyi's purpose.
But... Shen Hanqing.
Feng Chengyi looked at Prime Minister Cao, who had remained silent, frowned slightly, and raised his voice, "What suggestions does Prime Minister Cao have?"
Prime Minister Cao came back to his senses, "Your Majesty, think twice. General Shen holds the military power. If he handles it improperly..."
Feng Chengyi slammed the table and said angrily: "I don't want you to say these things, what I want is for you to tell me how to completely eradicate the Shen family!"
Prime Minister Cao glanced at Feng Chengyi and said, "Why don't you let me go back and think about it carefully?"
Feng Chengyi looked at Prime Minister Cao suspiciously, "Could it be that Prime Minister Cao is unwilling to lend me a helping hand?"
Prime Minister Cao was naturally hesitant, but he didn't show it on his face. He analyzed respectfully, "The Shen family is quite powerful, so we must take a long-term view. If we are not careful, it may endanger the emperor."
When Feng Chengyi heard this, he accepted Prime Minister Cao's reason.
He responded, "If that's the case, then Prime Minister Cao should think about it carefully."
"Prime Minister Cao should understand that the Shen family, as ministers, do not take me seriously. Who knows what kind of treasonous things they might do in the future."
Prime Minister Cao responded respectfully, "Your Majesty is right. I will serve you with all my heart and soul."
Feng Chengyi was satisfied and let Prime Minister Cao leave.
When Prime Minister Cao was leaving, he happened to meet Qu Shu who had cooked some soup and was giving it to Feng Chengyi.
Qu Shu nodded slightly to Prime Minister Cao and went to the imperial study, as if she didn't know Prime Minister Cao.
Prime Minister Cao couldn't help but stop and looked back at Qu Shu for a long time.
Can Feng Chengyi really bring happiness to Qu Shu?
This harem has always been about hearing only the laughter of new people and not the tears of old ones. Even a powerful Shen family like Shen Hanqing is not enough to keep Shen Hanqing's favor, right?
