Chapter 124: Tricks
The autumn hunt, which lasted for half a month, finally ended.
Shen Yuning returned to the palace. When she stepped into Yaohua Palace, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She walked straight to the soft big bed, lay down on it, and fell into a deep sleep.
This time, I slept very soundly.
After waking up, Shen Yuning washed up and got on the sedan chair, heading towards Ganquan Palace.
Yan Xin was imprisoned, the palace gates were locked, and guards stood outside like wooden stakes, guarding her strictly.
This scene is very different from the time when she voluntarily stayed indoors in Ganquan Palace.
The sedan chair landed in front of the gate of Ganquan Palace.
Shen Yuning walked down from the sedan chair with graceful steps, her figure was elegant and graceful.
The guards on duty saw this and hurriedly saluted respectfully, shouting in unison: "Greetings to Concubine Shen."
"Get up. I'll go in and see Concubine Yan."
"yes."
The guard responded, and one of them stepped forward, took out the key, opened the tightly closed palace door, and stepped aside to let Shen Yuning in.
Shen Yuning stepped in, feeling a little emotional.
The last time I came to Ganquan Palace, I was framed by Liu Shihan and lost the scriptures.
At that time, the palace was quite lively with palace servants coming and going.
But now, looking at it again, in this huge palace, there are only a few servants cleaning, which makes it look particularly deserted.
It was probably because Yan Xin's confinement had no time limit, and the Shaofu felt that it would be difficult for her to recover, so they recalled many palace servants.
Shen Yuning walked along the palace road, passed through a corridor, and arrived at Yan Xin's bedroom.
As I stepped into the bedroom, a strong smell of medicine hit my nose.
Yan Xin lay weakly on the bed, half asleep and half awake, and seemed to hear the sound of palace servants walking in an orderly manner outside.
The voice came from far away and gradually got closer. She was delighted, thinking that it was His Majesty coming.
He then forced himself to sit up from the bed, "Is His Majesty here?"
Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
She really didn't expect that after returning to the palace, she would see Yan Xin in such a miserable state, without any of her usual cuteness.
Shen Yuning said calmly: "It's not Your Majesty, it's me."
When Yan Xin heard the familiar voice, her face instantly turned cold.
He snorted coldly and said, "What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"
Shen Yuning smiled lightly and said slowly, "Yes, of course I have to come and see what kind of fate Yan Jieyu has ended up with for trying to frame me and General Ye."
Yan Xin gnashed her teeth in anger and said bitterly, "Shen Yuning, you and General Ye have always had an unclear relationship. It's obvious that you deceived His Majesty! I didn't frame you. Do you dare to say that you and Ye Jinshu didn't have a secret meeting with a man outside of yours?"
Shen Yuning was not annoyed. She walked to the bed and sat down slowly. Then she stretched out her hand and gently brushed the hair that fell on Yan Xin's cheek. She said softly, "Jieyu Yan, please take care of yourself. Don't be so excited. It's not worth it if you get angry."
As she spoke, she did not retract her hand. Instead, she slid her hand down Yan Xin's cheek and stroked her face.
"I remember you said before that His Majesty would paint you every year. If your face is ruined, do you think His Majesty will still paint for you?"
Shen Yuning narrowed his eyes slightly, fixed his gaze on Yan Xin's face, with a smile on his face.
There was a flash of fear in Yan Xin's eyes, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.
He looked at Shen Yuning with contempt, "If you dare to destroy my face, His Majesty will never let you go, and your current favor will vanish in an instant."
Shen Yuning disagreed and sneered, "Do you think too highly of yourself? His Majesty has said that you can let me deal with you. I am His Majesty's favorite woman. The love I have received is something you will never be able to catch up with in your lifetime."
"Oh, Concubine Shen, you really should let His Majesty take a good look at this face of yours."
Yan Xin sneered, her eyes full of mockery, "However, you are the one who thinks highly of yourself. His Majesty's favorite woman is in Lingxi Palace!"
When Shen Yuning heard the word Lingxi Palace, a hint of curiosity suddenly flashed through her heart.
However, she remained calm and composed, "Lingxi Palace? I have never even heard of this place, and His Majesty has never summoned the imperial concubines from Lingxi Palace to sleep with you. What are you talking about here?"
"Concubine Shen, although the woman in Lingxi Palace is dead, she is the woman that His Majesty holds in his heart and loves the most."
"My face is only slightly similar to hers, but His Majesty treasures my face like a treasure. He even painted a picture for me on your birthday."
"Your Majesty's favor towards you is only temporary. You have nothing to be proud of."
Yan Xin became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she wanted to use these words to hurt Shen Yuning badly.
"What's the difference between you and me? From now on, it's just that your beauty will fade away before your love for her. Just wait for His Majesty to despise you."
Yan Xin's eyes were full of malice as she stared straight at Shen Yuning.
Shen Yuning's expression finally changed. A layer of gloom covered her calm face, but she quickly suppressed it and said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense. His Majesty clearly loves me the most. I will not easily believe your one-sided words."
Yan Xin looked at her showing off and smiled smugly, her eyes full of provocation: "If you don't believe me, then go to Lingxi Palace and take a look. There are too many memories of His Majesty and that woman hidden there, but..."
She deliberately dragged out her tone, as if she wanted to see her panic.
"I wonder if His Majesty would still love you as much as he does now if he knew you went to Lingxi Palace and discovered his secrets. Who knows, he might even immediately dislike you."
Shen Yuning frowned and replied coldly: "In the harem, there is no place that I cannot go."
After saying that, she stood up, flicked her sleeves, and left angrily without looking back.
Yan Xin looked at Shen Yuning's departing back, the smile on her lips deepened, and she sneered.
Your Majesty will not love her, nor will he love Shen Yuning. His heart died with that woman when she passed away!
After Shen Yuning left Ganquan Palace and sat on the sedan chair, his expression returned to normal.
The slightly out-of-control look she had just shown due to jealousy and deep love for His Majesty seemed as if it had never appeared.
Lingxi Palace?
Shen Yuning frowned slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.
Since she took charge of the harem affairs, there has been almost no record of Lingxi Palace in any book.
This is a palace, but no one in the entire palace mentioned it.
It seems that Quan Minghe deliberately sealed off Lingxi Palace, and it is very likely that he even issued a death order, strictly forbidding anyone to mention this matter.
It seems that the only people in the harem who know the situation in Lingxi Palace are Liu Shihan and Yan Xin.
With Quan Minghe guarding the place so strictly, it seems not easy for him to go in and find out what is going on.
Moreover, if she really went in rashly, if she angered him, it would be difficult to end the situation. She didn't know if she could coax him well. She had to plan carefully...
