Chapter 296: Palace Fighting: Playing with People's Hearts
Because Qu Shu has not fully recovered, she still needs someone to support her when walking.
When Susu helped Qu Shu into the cold palace, Shen Hanqing was lying on the chaise longue with her eyes slightly closed, not even glancing at Qu Shu.
Qu Shu said cautiously: "Sister Shen, I brought you some things, I hope you don't dislike it."
Shen Hanqing said lazily: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, fart quickly."
Qu Shu bit her lip and asked, "Sister Shen, can you ask your personal maid to leave? I want to talk to you alone."
"No." Shen Hanqing was so cold and ruthless.
Qu Shu looked at Shen Hanqing's two palace maids and said, "I think it's better to be more cautious about what we say."
Shen Hanqing opened her eyes and looked at Qu Shu with a half-smile, "Why, is Concubine Qu going to say something shameful?"
Qu Shu forced a smile with difficulty, "What did Sister Shen say? How could it be possible? It was just some private words between you and me."
Shen Hanqing remained indifferent. "Just say it, my people are very tight-lipped, unless she wants to have her tongue pulled out."
Qu Shu tightened her palms slightly. Since Shen Hanqing had said this, she couldn't say anything else.
Besides, even if Shen Hanqing wanted to expose her to Feng Chengyi, Feng Chengyi would never believe it.
After all, Feng Chengyi no longer believed Shen Hanqing's words.
Thinking of this, Qu Shu felt much more relaxed.
Shen Hanqing stood up and said, "It seems that Concubine Qu really wants to talk. Hong Xiao, serve tea to Concubine Qu."
Soon, Hongxiao brewed some tea and brought it over. Not only were there a few tea leaves floating around in the air, but there was also a hole in the teacup.
Qu Shu was angry but dared not speak out.
Looking at Chen Hanqing's teacup again, the pattern and glaze on it, if she guessed correctly, should be a fine product that she had never even used.
Shen Hanqing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. How could she not know what Qu Shu was thinking?
Feng Chengyi would not believe that Shen Hanqing was right, but he would believe that Lvliu was not, because Lvliu was Feng Chengyi's person.
The gap between Qu Shu and Feng Chengyi will probably get bigger and bigger.
She said, "Doesn't Concubine Qu have something to say?"
Qu Shu smiled and said, "I wonder if Sister Shen has heard that His Majesty has been staying in Rong Fei's palace for the past few days."
Shen Hanqing cracked a melon seed and looked at Qu Shu with a half-smile, "What does this have to do with me? I'm just a little Zhaoyi in the cold palace."
Qu Shu tried her best to draw hatred to Concubine Rong, and then let Shen Hanqing take action.
After a while, Shen Hanqing said directly: "So Concubine Qu said so much just to get me to take action against Concubine Rong?"
Qu Shu quickly denied it, "How could that be? I was just chatting with Sister Shen casually."
Shen Hanqing played with the walnut for a while, then crushed it with a snap. Qu Shu was frightened and said, "Sister Shen really misunderstood."
"Oh, so Concubine Qu is very careless, and she goes to this vicious woman like me to say something behind my back." Shen Hanqing squeezed the walnut again, and another walnut was crushed into pieces. "Oh, it was too hard, I can't eat it."
Qu Shu always felt that when Shen Hanqing pinched the walnut, it was like pinching herself, and she was terrified.
But I still had to bite the bullet and explain, “I don’t think Sister Shen is that kind of person. She just loves His Majesty too much, so I won’t blame Sister Shen for what happened before.”
Shen Hanqing raised her eyebrows, "Then Concubine Qu means that I should thank you for your tolerance and generosity?"
As she spoke, Shen Hanqing thought seriously for a moment, "Then if this palace kills Concubine Qu one day, Concubine Qu will not blame this palace?"
Qu Shu felt terrified and couldn't stand it any longer, so she quickly stood up and said she wanted to leave.
Shen Hanqing's voice suddenly rose: "Did Concubine Qu forget the rules of coming to the cold palace?"
Qu Shu's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. She was sweating profusely under Shen Hanqing's cold gaze. "I brought something for Sister Shen, didn't I?"
Shen Hanqing stood up and patted the walnut crumbs on her dress, “So this palace can give you this honor and do it myself.”
Qu Shu was really scared, and immediately pulled out the various hairpins and hairpins in her hair, as well as the bracelets on her hands and the jade pendant around her waist with trembling hands.
In short, all the valuable things on my body were taken away.
Shen Hanqing showed a satisfied smile, "If Concubine Qu likes it, you can come and sit here often."
If possible, Qu Shu doesn't want to come here even once.
She pretended not to hear and left in a hurry.
Hong Xiao asked, "My Lady, what does Concubine Qu mean?"
Shen Hanqing replied: "What does it mean? It's nothing more than that the emperor has been favoring Concubine Rong in recent days. Concubine Qu feels that her position is unstable and wants me to take action against Concubine Rong."
Hong Xiao asked in confusion, "Even if the Queen dealt with Concubine Rong, what good would that do her?"
Shen Hanqing lowered her eyes, pretending to be sad, and then laughed sarcastically, "Hong Xiao thinks, if I deal with that Rong Fei, what will the emperor do?"
Hong Xiao responded, "I'm afraid he will dislike you even more."
Shen Hanqing looked at her nails and said, "Hong Xiao, please dye them for me."
Hong Xiao quickly agreed.
Lvliu, who had been silent all this time, secretly took note of all this.
It was late at night, and everyone in the palace except those on patrol had gone to sleep.
Lvliu opened the door stealthily and left the cold palace.
In the darkness, Hong Xiao called out, "My Lady."
Shen Hanqing smiled and said, "Let her go. Bring the parrot. I need to leave the palace for a while."
Hong Xiao responded, "Yes, Madam."
For convenience, Shen Hanqing wore a black outfit.
She walked through the night carrying the parrot without alerting any patrolmen.
She quickly left the palace and came to Prince An's mansion.
Only the candlelight in Feng Chengjin's room was flickering. Shen Hanqing pushed open the door directly. Feng Chengjin, who was enduring the torture of Wu Shifa, suddenly looked up and stared at Shen Hanqing.
Shen Hanqing placed the parrot on the table, turned around and closed the door, and Feng Chengjin attacked Shen Hanqing.
Shen Hanqing had no intention of fighting with Feng Chengjin tonight. She avoided Feng Chengjin's attack and tied him up tightly with silk.
Then he squatted down and looked at Feng Chengjin with a ferocious face.
Perhaps the effect of the Five Stones Hair Spray was really unbearable, and sweat was already oozing out of Feng Chengjin's forehead.
There were even veins popping out on his arms and neck.
Feng Chengjin felt an unbearable pain gnawing at his bones, as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his whole body.
Although he had suffered this torture many times, it was still painful.
And all this was caused by Shen Hanqing.
If it weren't for her, how could I have ended up like this?
Anger filled Feng Chengjin's chest, even making him lose his mind.
Shen Hanqing felt somewhat helpless. Everything has its consequences, and she had to deal with the sins committed by the original owner.
She took out a pill from her sleeve and forcefully stuffed it into Feng Chengjin's mouth.
Feng Chengjin subconsciously wanted to spit it out, but Shen Hanqing said, “If you don’t want to suffer this kind of torture again in the future, swallow it.”
