Chapter 158 New Calculation
Soon, the carriage slowly arrived in front of the Shen Mansion.
The vermilion gate exudes an atmosphere that is both familiar and strange.
Just now in front of Quan Minghe, Ye Jinshu held her, and because he was open and honest, he would not arouse suspicion. But now that they are at the Shen Mansion, he can no longer let Ye Jinshu carry her out.
Shen Yuning got up from Ye Jinshu, straightened her clothes, and then the two of them got off the carriage one after another.
Outside the Shen Mansion, Zhao Cong was waiting respectfully at the door.
Seeing them get off the carriage, he hurried forward and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Concubine Shen, General Ye."
After saying that, he slightly turned sideways and raised his hand to signal the guards behind him.
Then he said: "These are the guards sent by His Majesty to protect Concubine Shen's safety. The maids in the mansion have been replenished enough. If Your Majesty needs anything in the mansion in the future, you can find me."
Shen Yuning sneered in his heart.
Protect?
I'm afraid it's just surveillance.
Her expression was indifferent, and she just nodded slightly, indicating that she knew about it.
Zhao Cong continued, "General Ye has made great contributions in saving Concubine Shen today. His Majesty will reward General Ye with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of brocade, and ten fine horses as a reward."
Ye Jinshu's expression was also indifferent. He just clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
There was no trace of joy in his tone.
Zhao Cong knew that Concubine Shen was in a terrible mood. General Ye, as Concubine Shen's cousin, had witnessed with his own eyes that Concubine Shen almost lost her life, so naturally his mood was not very good.
So I didn't expect them to greet me with a smile.
At that moment, seeing that the matter was almost done, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Ye, I will take my leave now."
After Zhao Cong left, Shen Yuning turned around and looked at Ye Jinshu: "General Ye, please go back to the General's Mansion. Thank you for saving my life today. I am really tired today and want to rest early."
Ye Jinshu looked at her deeply and knew that she needed to be quiet at this moment.
He also had to go back and think about how to avoid His Majesty's sight without fail so that she could successfully fake her death and escape.
"Well, I will take my leave."
When Shen Yuning returned to her room again, she felt as if she was in another world.
The last time I came here was during the first few days after arriving in Beijing. At that time, in order to avoid being found by Quan Minghe, I stayed in the Shen Mansion and never went out before marrying Feng Moheng.
Although life is dull, it is peaceful.
Shen Yuning sat in front of the dressing table, removed her makeup, then took off her skirt, changed into light clothes, walked to the bed and lay down.
She took a handkerchief soaked in hot water from the maid and put it on her eyes.
I cried so much that my eyes hurt so much.
After an unknown amount of time, Xitong walked in, and Shen Yuning began to chat with Xitong in a casual manner.
"What did you say!"
Xitong exclaimed, unable to stop being surprised.
Shen Yuning frowned and handed her the handkerchief that was almost cold on her eyes.
Xitong took the handkerchief and put it aside, lowering her voice and looking nervous: "Madam, have you agreed to run away with Ye Jinshu?"
Shen Yuning nodded and said softly, "Yeah."
"If you are caught by His Majesty, you will be doomed."
Xitong widened her eyes and pouted: "And we haven't completed the task yet..."
Shen Yuning glanced at Xi Tong and said slowly, "Who said I was going to run away? I just promised him."
"Today I have already reached the point of committing suicide, and I have no attachment to the palace anymore. With Ye Jinshu's proposal, I will naturally accept it first."
Xitong's eyes were full of doubts, and she tilted her head and asked, "Then what excuse do you plan to use for not running away?"
Shen Yuning looked at Xitong meaningfully.
"Isn't there still a Liu Zhaoyi?"
"Um?"
Xitong looked confused, obviously not quite understanding the meaning of the words.
"Although my embroidery skills are not very good, I prefer embroidery. Didn't Concubine Liu stuff safflower powder into the sachet?"
"The enemy who killed my son is not just Your Majesty. It was Liu Zhaoyi who caused me to have a cold in the uterus, which led to many misfortunes later."
Shen Yuning's voice also became a little colder.
Xi Tong suddenly realized and said quickly, "So, Your Majesty, you want to pretend that you just found out about Liu Zhaoyi's plan, so that Ye Jinshu will think that you want to return to the palace for revenge?"
Shen Yuning smiled evilly and said, "Well, after taking revenge, I can elope with my cousin, isn't that great?"
Then he retracted his smile.
"But we still have to leave Quan Minghe alone for a while. Just treat this time as a good vacation outside the palace."
Suddenly, Shen Yuning seemed to have thought of something and smiled again, but the smile did not reach her eyes, revealing a coldness.
Xitong was stunned for a moment because of her inexplicable expression: "My lady, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Yuning raised her eyebrows and slowly stroked her long hair in front of her chest.
"I was thinking, when I use Quan Minghe to kill Liu Shihan, I will tell Quan Minghe: Every moment I become the empress and return to your side makes me feel extremely sick. I wonder what his expression will be like."
Xitong's eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly open, her face full of shock, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
It took her a while to come back to her senses.
He stammered, "My Lady, do you hate His Majesty so much?"
Shen Yuning, however, looked indifferent.
"Men are mean. You said that since I am his white moonlight and I died for him, didn't he still have three harems and six courtyards afterwards?"
"Now, you still pretend to love me, but in your heart you are thinking of the dead Bai Yueguang."
Although Shen Yuning knew clearly that the so-called white moonlight was herself, she still felt uncomfortable.
"Is it not okay for me to avenge my former self?"
"It must be because I was too good to him in the past that he only feels guilty now but can't feel any pain. Now that I have a chance to do it again, I must make him feel the pain severely."
Xitong touched her chin and nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, whatever the queen does is right!"
Shen Yuning showed a satisfied smile on her face and reached out to touch Xitong's head.
He also affirmed her performance today: "Xitong is getting better and better, and she performed very well today."
This time on the city wall, Shen Yuning did not mention the secret room.
Because only if she really jumped over the city wall could Kwon Myung-hyuk fully understand his feelings for her.
This way, next time he will be able to choose between himself and Bai Yueguang.
Shen Yuning's fox eyes slightly raised, revealing a hint of cunning.
Anyway, she is not the one who is struggling and suffering, so she wants to see what choice Kwon Minghe will make when the time comes.
but......
No matter what he chooses, it will be wrong.
Just like his treatment of Zhao Qizi this time, killing or not killing was wrong.
Shen Yuning was just playing with his heart. She didn't try to disrupt his kingdom, nor did she give him any medicine to make him half dead.
She thought she still had some kindness in her heart, although it was not much, but at least she did not make fun of the court and the people.
Isn’t it?
