Shen Ye suddenly looked at Yu Niannian. She knew about this matter, so today was undoubtedly a trap.
"Your Majesty the Empress must know very well that I am in this state today, confined to Weiyang Palace by the Emperor, and disrespected by the palace servants. It seems that it is all thanks to Your Majesty."
Yu Niannian lowered her head and touched her belly. Four months along, right? Because of malnutrition and a bad mood, you couldn't tell she was pregnant unless you touched her belly.
"Your gaze is like a knife, but it's not a knife after all; it can never kill me." Shen Ye chuckled, his voice low and mocking. "Such a delicate face paired with that twisted expression you had before must have looked quite beautiful."
Yu Niannian scoffed, "I think the Empress's exquisite face paired with a distorted expression is what makes her beautiful."
"Is that so?" Shen Ye lowered his eyes, his thick, dark eyelashes like butterflies, concealing the last bit of tenderness. He spoke, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint my sister."
Yu Niannian looked behind her. This was a lotus pond, but because the flowering season had passed, there were no flowers in the pond.
Now, she is separated from the pool only by a railing.
Yu Niannian: "I really look forward to seeing the Empress's expression later."
“Consort Yu.” Shen Ye leaned on the railing, her eyes full of innocence. “I didn’t do anything. What kind of talk is this?”
Yu Niannian smiled faintly, her pupils as black as ink, unfathomable. "This pool is said to be very deep."
Their eyes met, and Shen Ye subconsciously stepped back; he had underestimated this woman.
"If you want to die, don't do it in front of me. It's an eyesore," Shen Ye warned urgently, knowing what this woman was up to.
"So what?" Yu Niannian asked calmly.
"Autumn Poems".
Shen Ye shouted that if no one came soon, he would be in deep trouble, because he realized that all the servants around him had retreated far away, and even if Yu Niannian wanted to jump down and "commit suicide," no one could prove that it was "suicide."
"Hahahaha..." Yu Niannian suddenly burst into laughter, "Stop shouting, no one will come."
She tilted her head, looking at Shen Ye with pity. Today was all thanks to him, so she was going to get her revenge.
She took a few steps forward, walked to Shen Ye's side, leaned back, and fell into the pool.
"Help! The Empress has fallen into the water!"
"Help! Consort Yu has fallen into the water!"
"....."
Someone shouted something, and the servants who had been standing far away all looked toward the pool. Sure enough, there was a figure struggling in the pool.
Beside the railing, Shen Ye stared at the scene with a pale face and utter shock.
Yu Niannian went mad and risked her life to frame him.
Yu Niannian was quickly rescued. Although she survived, the baby in her womb could not be saved.
In no time, the news that the Empress had plotted to murder the imperial heir spread like wildfire to every corner of the palace.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qimu flew into a rage and immediately ordered the rumor to be suppressed, declaring that anyone who dared to mention it again would have their entire family executed.
Although the rumors were suppressed, Shen Ye still felt uneasy.
That evening, when Gu Qimu arrived, Shen Ye was leaning against the windowsill, lost in thought.
"Knowing full well that it was a trap, why did you still go? Why run around like that?" Gu Qimu pursed his lips, but there was no anger in his eyes.
Clearly, he believed that Shen Ye did not push Yu Niannian into the water.
Shen Ye lowered his eyes and replied indifferently, "I just want to run around, what else could it be? I can't go anywhere here every day, I'm getting so bored."
