Chapter 746: Cruelty: Jealousy
"Once the interest is gone, that's it."
"I think the concubines in the harem all have a deep understanding of the emperor's temperament."
Shen Hanqing, “Oh.”
Concubine Shu didn't seem satisfied with Shen Hanqing's reaction, and she spoke again: "Now that Concubine Shen is favored, she can be arrogant because of her favor."
"It's just that this harem has always been a place where you only hear the laughter of new people and never the tears of the old ones."
"Perhaps one day, Concubine Shen will also end up having her title forgotten by His Majesty."
Shen Hanqing, “Oh.”
Shufei's expression was slightly distorted. What was going on with Shen Hanqing?
It's like punching cotton, there's no reaction at all.
It seems that we need to think of other ways.
Concubine Shu continued to stroll in the imperial garden with Shen Hanqing, but her eyes were observing the surrounding situation.
Then he took Shen Hanqing to the lake.
She pointed at the calm lake and said, "Princess Shen, have you seen the fish in the lake? They are very beautiful."
Shen Hanqing was standing a little far from the lake, but she was not blind, so how could she see the fish?
Shen Hanqing had already seen through the little thoughts of this Concubine Shu.
He simply wanted her to get closer, and then stage a drowning scene, falsely accusing her of pushing Concubine Shu.
So Shen Hanqing didn't move, and replied: "It's quite beautiful."
Concubine Shu was very uncomfortable. It would have been fine if she had just lied with her eyes open, but Shen Hanqing also lied with her eyes open. How could she proceed with the next thing?
She could only wave slightly to Shen Hanqing and said with a smile: "Concubine Shen is standing so far away, what can you see? You can only see it clearly if you are closer."
Shen Hanqing said lightly: “I have good eyesight.”
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth, and suddenly felt helpless about what to do with Shen Hanqing.
But she was unwilling to let Shen Hanqing go like this.
Why has she been planning for so long but still failed to enter the palace?
As soon as Shen Hanqing arrived, she took control of the central palace.
Concubine Shu glanced at the concubines who were watching the fire from the other side of the river, and had an idea in her mind.
There is a saying that goes, If the mountain is not me, then I am the mountain.
Shufei could only get close to Shen Hanqing and pretend to have a deep sisterly relationship with Shen Hanqing and take Shen Hanqing's hand.
Then he directed and acted in the film himself, as if he was pushed hard by Shen Hanqing.
I took many steps back and fell into the lake.
The concubine's maid immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "The concubine has fallen into the water."
What followed was a period of chaos and war.
333 asked Shen Hanqing, "Why didn't the host stop it?" and let Concubine Shu frame him.
Shen Hanqing stretched out her voice and said, “She is willing to jump down, why should I stop her.”
As for framing, Shen Hanqing has never been afraid of such things.
After a while, Rong Zhixiao came hurriedly, and with him came Rong Zhihan.
Concubine Shu looked as if she was in shock and uncertain. Her maidservant knelt down with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for our queen."
"Empress Shu was kind enough to take Empress Chen to visit the Imperial Garden, but who would have thought that Empress Chen would actually push Empress Shu into the lake."
Rong Zhihan was looking at Shen Hanqing with a cold gaze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Some of the concubines who were watching chose to stand up and point out that it was Shen Hanqing who pushed Concubine Shu into the lake.
In their opinion, Concubine Shu, who had fought with them for so many years without getting what she wanted, was not as threatening as Shen Hanqing, who took control of the palace as soon as she entered it.
Rong Zhixiao looked at Shen Hanqing, "My beloved concubine, do you have anything to say?"
Shen Hanqing raised her eyebrows, “You have a lot of concubines.”
After finishing speaking, everyone was still looking at Shen Hanqing, because they thought that Shen Hanqing would make a few excuses.
The result was this sentence.
Some concubines were the first to react and said, "No wonder Concubine Shen pushed Concubine Shu into the lake."
“It turns out that Concubine Shen can’t tolerate us and wants to monopolize His Majesty’s favor.”
The implication is that Shen Hanqing's words were an admission that she had pushed Concubine Shu into the lake.
Rong Zhihan also spoke up, "Qing'er was very kind when she was in the mansion. How could she do such a vicious thing?"
These words were obviously speaking for Shen Hanqing, but in fact they were adding fuel to the fire.
Everyone knew that Shen Hanqing was Rong Zhihan's concubine before.
Now that Shen Hanqing has become a concubine, Rong Zhihan still calls her so affectionately. It doesn't feel right to mention the past.
Everyone was waiting for Rong Zhixiao to speak, after all, Rong Zhixiao was the one who had the final say.
Rong Zhixiao should have pretended to believe what these people said, because it would have been more fun that way.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Then Rong Zhixiao smiled and said, "Prince Chen is right. My beloved concubine is kind-hearted. How could she do such a thing?"
"Besides, if my beloved concubine really pushed my concubine into the lake just to monopolize my favor, I would be overjoyed."
This was said lightly, but the concubines were very uncomfortable.
The emperor actually dotes on Chen Hanqing to this extent, so how can he still deal with her?
Then, Rong Zhixiao said, "You should think carefully about whether it was Concubine Shu who fell into the lake by herself, or whether Concubine Shen accidentally pushed her."
"Lying is a crime of deceiving the emperor."
The last words had a hint of coldness.
The concubine who had just spoken for Concubine Shu said immediately: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it and it seems that Concubine Shen did not push Concubine Shu."
"I was mistaken. Concubine Shen is so weak, how could she push someone into the lake?"
Rong Zhixiao nodded, "So that's how it is. It must be that Concubine Shu accidentally fell down."
As for Concubine Shu's maid, she was shaking so badly that she dared not speak anymore.
She is afraid too.
Rong Zhixiao looked at the somewhat embarrassed Concubine Shu and said in a reproachful manner, "Concubine Shu, you thought it was an accident, how could you fall down?"
Concubine Shu forced a smile with difficulty. How could she not hear that even if Shen Hanqing really pushed her into the lake today, it would not be...
What's more, it wasn't like that in the first place.
Concubine Shu said, "I'm sorry to have caused your Majesty's worry. It was because I was too careless that this accident happened."
Then Rong Zhixiao asked someone to send Concubine Shu back to the palace.
Rong Zhixiao looked at Rong Zhihan, "Since we're already in the Imperial Garden, why don't we go for a stroll together?"
Rong Zhihan replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, Qing'er has a heart condition and cannot be exposed to too much cold wind. It is better for her to go back."
Rong Zhihan was also dancing in the king's minefield.
As a subject, it is hard not to think too much when you care so much about the emperor's concubines.
Rong Zhixiao pretended to be surprised, "My beloved concubine has a heart disease?"
Shen Hanqing replied: “No.”
Rong Zhixiao seemed to be relieved. "That's good. It seems that Prince Chen remembered it wrongly."
"The one with the heart disease is my beloved concubine's sister, Chen Hanyue, not my beloved concubine."
Rong Zhixiao and Rong Zhihan can talk without bloodshed and swordplay.
Rong Zhihan did not back down, "Qing'er does have a heart disease, but she is unwilling to accept this fact and refuses to admit it."
This is said with deep affection.
Shen Hanqing, who was forced to become the object of jealousy, just felt bored.
These two people simply have their own thoughts, yet they have to use her as an excuse. Isn't that tiring?
After strolling around the Imperial Garden for a while, it was time for dinner. Rong Zhixiao invited Rong Zhihan to stay for dinner with a look of brotherly love.
Rong Zhihan actually agreed.
Shen Hanqing felt that continuing to watch the two of them scheming against each other was really affecting her appetite.
So he refused to have dinner with Rong Zhixiao.
Rong Zhixiao sighed, "My beloved concubine doesn't seem to like Prince Chen very much. I'll have to ask Prince Chen to go back and have dinner."
The corners of Shen Hanqing's mouth twitched slightly. It was a bit inappropriate to use eye drops in front of her.
Rong Zhihan looked at Shen Hanqing gravely and said, "Really? Before, I always accompanied Qing'er to eat, but now Qing'er is probably not used to it."
Shen Hanqing couldn’t help it, and said directly: “You all really affect my appetite.”
After saying that, he turned and left.
As soon as Shen Hanqing left, the illusion of brotherly love between Rong Zhixiao and Rong Zhihan collapsed instantly.
