Chapter 543: Rebirth of Concubine Shu (V)
"Your Majesty, who do you think should be sent?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, the visitor could not help but ask.
"You can leave now. I'll think about it and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Lu Yanshi hadn't made up his mind yet.
Sending women to the military camp would certainly be opposed by everyone.
He needs to think about it carefully.
At this time, the eunuch came to announce, "Your Majesty, Xie Zhaoyi's personal maid is here to see you."
Lu Yanshi frowned slightly. It was already this late, and Xie Ruizhu's maid was causing more trouble.
“No.”
Lu Yanshi rejected it coldly.
The young eunuch responded and left at the same time as the official.
When the maid Xuanlu heard that the emperor refused to see her master, she became anxious and started shouting loudly.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on the Queen. The Queen has not eaten or drunk for two days and two nights. Please see the Queen."
If she can't invite the Emperor, the Empress won't spare her.
It's a matter of life or death, Xuan Lu decided to go all out.
Lu Yanshi, who was in the study, became more annoyed when he heard this.
The fact that the Xie family was colluding with a cult had not yet been fully investigated, and he did not want to see Xie Ruizhu at all.
The border issue was worrying him again, and he was in no mood to coax Xie Ruizhu.
"Pass on my decree to demote Xie Zhaoyi to Xie Jieyushi. If she doesn't eat for a day, she will be demoted one level." Lu Yanshi scolded.
Cao Dehai responded, brought the imperial edict, and ordered his men to take Xuan Lu back to Changchun Palace.
When Xuan Lu heard the decree, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
It's over. It's all over now.
Xie Ruizhu waited anxiously in the palace, thinking that the emperor would come to visit her, but she never expected that what she got was an imperial decree to demote her.
"Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for the Emperor." Cao Dehai kindly reminded after announcing the decree.
"Get lost! You are just an old dog in front of the emperor, yet you dare to point fingers at me." Xie Ruizhu cursed angrily and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Cao Dehai left expressionlessly, then turned around and sent someone to pass on a message to the dining room.
Xie Zhaoyi has not eaten or drunk for several days. His body is weak and cannot be replenished. He should eat lighter food.
The people in the palace are very good at reading other people's expressions and flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak.
As soon as Cao Dehai's words were passed on, the food sent to Changchun Palace was all watery rice porridge and burnt yellow vegetable leaves.
The meal was almost the same as that of a third-class palace maid.
When Xie Ruizhu saw this, she almost fainted from anger again.
When Shen Liuzheng learned about this, he smiled with a determined look on his face.
From this perspective, Xie Ruizhu was not far from hanging herself.
I just don't know when the emperor will let her go to the border.
If the emperor still can't make up his mind tonight, she will give him a push.
Shen Liuzheng took a sip of tea and waited for good news.
The emperor must have heard that she was training on horseback with a spear in the parade ground today.
Sure enough, that night, the emperor turned over her card.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Shen Liuzheng lowered her eyebrows and saluted to Lu Yanshi.
"My beloved, please stand up." Lu Yanshi gently helped her up.
"I heard that my beloved concubine went to the training ground today?"
"Yes." Shen Liuzheng nodded.
"When I was in the palace, I often practiced with my father and brothers. Today, my hands were itchy, so I went to the training ground to practice."
"Oh? How do you compare to your brother?" Lu Yanshi asked the question he wanted to ask most.
Here it comes!
This was the question she had been waiting for.
Shen Liuzheng secretly tightened his grip and replied with a smile:
"I was born with supernatural powers. My two elder brothers have never been my match since we were young. When I was young, my father could beat me, but when I was ten years old, my father lost to me. I am not bragging, there is really no one in the mansion who can match me."
Lu Yanshi's eyes lit up: "My beloved concubine is so amazing?"
"When I was a child, I was too strong and couldn't control myself. I once killed a wild boar with one punch." Shen Liuzheng covered her face after saying this.
"Your Majesty, please don't laugh at me, I am exposing my embarrassing story."
Lu Yanshi's expression had gone from delight to astonishment.
Kill a wild boar with one punch?
Lu Yanshi swallowed and looked at Concubine Shu's fist.
Fortunately, Concubine Shu did not have the habit of sleepwalking, otherwise if he slept next to her and she suddenly punched him, he would probably be dead.
"How could I laugh at you?" Lu Yanshi laughed and looked away.
"Since you have such ability, you are wronged in the harem. The Shen family needs support at the border, and I want to send you there. What do you think?"
Shen Liuzheng immediately knelt down and refused to argue with him: "I obey your orders."
Lu Yanshi was startled, wondering if Concubine Shu’s response was too quick.
How did he feel that Concubine Shu was waiting for him to say this?
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely protect the kingdom of Da Xia and will never let Your Majesty down." Shen Liuzheng's oath sounded loudly.
"I believe you." Lu Yanshi helped her up.
No matter who he sends, he has to worry whether it might be a traitor who could bring harm to the Shen family.
If you send Shen Liuzheng, you won't have this worry.
As a family, they rise and fall together.
"However, there is one thing. Women are not allowed to enter the army. You must disguise yourself as a man and join the army as a man. Can you do it?" Lu Yanshi looked down at her.
"I will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor." Shen Liuzheng answered firmly.
Take one step at a time.
It's good enough to let her go to the battlefield right now, it doesn't matter in what capacity.
The important thing is to save my father and brother's lives.
"I also believe in my beloved concubine's ability." Lu Yanshi helped her up.
"You should have a good rest. Tomorrow at 3 a.m., you will leave the palace and go to the city gate. I will send someone to wait for you there. You will lead 5,000 soldiers to support General Shen."
"I obey your command." Shen Liuzheng was secretly happy.
Lu Yanshi did not rest here that night.
Shen Liuzheng took a deep breath, called her two daughters, and told them that she would be out of the palace for a while, and they must not let anything slip and reveal this to anyone.
Lu Qiongying and Lu Qionghua agreed obediently.
"My queen, there's news from home." Qingshuang handed the note to Shen Liuzheng.
Shen Liuzheng took a look at the contents of the letter and his eyes lit up.
News came from home that Qu Fufeng seemed like a different person. He used to be stupid, but now he has become smart.
Moreover, he often banged something in remote places, making slight explosion sounds.
Seeing this, Shen Liuzheng was immediately 80% sure that it was Qu Fufeng from the future who came.
That’s great! This way, even if the Ninth Princess doesn’t have supernatural powers, they can still use the technology in Qu Fufeng’s head to develop Da Xia.
She ordered her maid to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a secret letter.
She will leave the capital tomorrow. If something unexpected happens to Xie Ruizhu and she regains her favor, that would be bad.
So she had to find someone to cooperate with and kill Xie Ruizhu.
Xia Shuyi is not important enough, so Qu Zhiwei has to take action as well.
"Tomorrow, you will secretly deliver this letter to Concubine Xian. Remember, she must see it in person."
