Chapter 860: Mermaid: Changing the Emperor
After a while, Shen Hanqing's paper crane floated down in front of him.
Lian Yuan hesitated for a moment and wanted to reach out his hand, but Shen Hanqing's voice came from the paper crane, "I forgot to ask, do you want this throne or not."
The current emperor is too annoying. He doesn't care about the country and the people.
If Lian Yuan doesn't want the throne, then we can find someone else to take it.
Lian Yuan tapped the paper crane's head with his slender fingertips, a smile on his face.
This person is really, incredibly straightforward.
This is quite outrageous.
Although it doesn't matter to him.
After all, I am quite rebellious.
The throne, that's really boring.
Of course he doesn't want it.
So let Shen Hanqing do whatever she wants.
It's just a country, no big deal.
After Shen Hanqing got Lian Yuan’s answer, he thought about it for a while.
The best candidate should be Lian Shuang, after all, he also became the emperor in the plot.
As for whether he would really be allowed to be the emperor, it all depended on Shen Hanqing's mood.
But there was one thing she could do first.
As soon as Shen Hanqing got up from the bed, Lingyue woke up.
She looked at Shen Hanqing a little confusedly, “Is Sister Shen going to do anything?”
Shen Hanqing replied indifferently: “Go out for a while.”
Lingyue rubbed her eyes vigorously, "I'm going too!"
Shen Hanqing said indifferently: "It's up to you."
Lingyue tried hard to keep up with Shen Hanqing, and the two of them traveled through the night and came to the cold palace.
Generally speaking, there would be no one in the cold palace except the concubines who were banished to the cold palace and some palace maids.
But there are still guards in this cold palace.
It is used to look after Lian Shuang's mother.
This is why the emperor was able to force Lian Shuang to help him search for the mermaid.
Shen Hanqing knocked out the guard at the door and entered the house.
After all, it was the cold palace, the room was very cold and there was a musty smell.
Lingyue pulled Shen Hanqing's clothes, "Sister Shen, let's light a lamp."
Shen Hanqing raised her hand, and the light in the room, which had not been on for a long time, lit up.
The person in the corner shrank back, as if he had just been awakened.
The man had disheveled hair and was wearing a plain gray robe.
Shen Hanqing brought Lingyue forward and said, "You are Lian Shuang's mother, right?"
The person in the corner raised his head slowly, looking at Shen Hanqing with dull eyes.
How could a person who was sent to the cold palace have a good life? What's more, the queen would come to bully her from time to time to vent her anger.
When the man heard Shen Hanqing's words, his eyes fluctuated, but he didn't react.
Ling Yue was a little surprised and asked, "Is she Brother Lian Shuang's mother?"
Then he asked Shen Hanqing, “Sister Shen, are we here to take her away?”
Shen Hanqing replied: “Whether she leaves or not depends on whether she is willing.”
Lingyue squatted in front of the man and said softly, "Don't be afraid. We are Brother Lianshuang's friends and we won't harm you."
"Do you want to leave with us?"
The man finally responded, his voice hoarse, "Shuang'er will be in trouble. I can't let him get involved."
Shen Hanqing said calmly: "Your presence here is the biggest embarrassment to him."
"Because the emperor threatened Lian Shuang with you."
Lingyue tried hard to explain that nothing would happen.
This made her a little hesitant, "But this is the imperial palace, we will be discovered."
Shen Hanqing said lightly: “This is not what you need to consider, you only need to consider whether to leave or not.”
Lian Shuang's mother hesitated for a moment and said she was willing to leave with them.
After all, no one wants to be trapped in a place like the cold palace for the rest of their life and be tortured by the queen.
It couldn't be simpler for Shen Hanqing to take someone out of the palace.
Lingyue did not leave the palace with Shen Hanqing because she was afraid that she would hold Shen Hanqing back.
Yunmenglou also has a base in the capital, which makes it convenient for people seeking medical treatment to contact us.
Shen Hanqing sent Lian Shuang’s mother to the Yunmeng Tower stronghold, and then had someone send her to Yunmeng Tower to recuperate.
Lingyue fell asleep peacefully only after seeing Chen Hanqing return.
The next day, the emperor discovered that Lian Shuang's mother was missing.
But this matter itself cannot be made a big deal, so he can only have someone investigate it secretly.
The queen still didn't give up on dealing with Shen Hanqing.
She appeared to be friendly to Shen Hanqing and the others, but in fact she had someone poison the food.
When the food was served, Shen Hanqing noticed it.
Shen Hanqing didn't move her chopsticks, looked at the queen and said, "The queen doesn't want to eat?"
The Queen pretended to be calm and said, "Miss Shen, don't worry about me. I will go to have dinner with the Emperor later."
Shen Hanqing said in an ambiguous tone: "Really? But I think you should try these meals."
The queen's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Shen Hanqing already knew.
Then she forced a smile and said, "Miss Shen and Miss Lingyue, please eat. I am not hungry."
Shen Hanqing picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the food.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she had not been discovered.
It's really scary.
Because Lingyue has been with Shen Hanqing these days, she is somewhat familiar with Shen Hanqing's style of doing things.
She thought about it seriously, if these meals were edible, Sister Shen would eat them directly.
But she didn't, so there must be something wrong with the food.
So Lingyue didn't pick up her chopsticks.
Shen Hanqing put a lot of dishes in the bowl, but she didn't eat them.
The Queen clenched her palms and asked, "Is it not to Miss Shen's taste? Or should I ask the imperial kitchen to make it again?"
It was really too frustrating. She was a queen, but she had to be humble to a little bitch of unknown origin.
Shen Hanqing raised her eyebrows and glanced at the queen, then stood up, grabbed her neck and pressed her onto the table, "Is it delicious? The queen will try it herself."
As he said this, he picked up some food and tried to stuff it into the queen's mouth.
The queen naturally knew that the dish was poisoned, so how could she be willing to eat it?
She struggled desperately and shouted for help.
The palace people were also in a dilemma, and they couldn't beat Shen Hanqing at all.
If he didn't step forward, he would definitely be dealt with by the Queen in the future, which would be too difficult.
So they could only tentatively step forward and pretend to stop it, pretending that they had already tried to save the queen but failed.
The queen looked at the food so close to her with horror in her eyes and struggled even more violently.
However, Shen Hanqing's hands seemed to be made of iron and she couldn't struggle free at all.
Shen Hanqing stopped moving and looked down at her, "Why, the Queen doesn't want to eat?"
The queen's smile was uglier than crying, "I don't like to eat these, Miss Shen, please don't embarrass me."
Shen Hanqing's eyes were slightly cold, "Really? I thought it was because there was something in the food that shouldn't be there?"
The queen stubbornly denied it, “Miss Shen is overthinking it, how could it be?”
Shen Hanqing just looked at the queen and said, "Yes or no, you will know after you try it."
The queen was really scared and quickly said, "Miss Shen! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
Shen Hanqing's tone rose at the end, "Oh? What's wrong?"
The queen closed her eyes and her resentment towards Shen Hanqing deepened.
She had never been treated like this before, with her face thrown to the ground and stepped on like this.
The Queen curled her lips and said, "I shouldn't have asked the imperial kitchen staff to make the dishes taste worse."
