Chapter 164 Salute
Yongan Palace.
The afternoon sun shines through the carved window frames, onto the ground, casting mottled shadows.
Liu Shihan sat at the table, eating her lunch leisurely. The hall was silent except for the occasional sound of the dishes and chopsticks touching each other.
At this time, Yiqi rushed into the hall in a panic, with quick steps and a panicked look, and even her salute seemed a little hasty.
He shouted, "My Lady, this is bad, this is bad."
Liu Shihan, who was having lunch, couldn't help but frown, with an unhappy look on her face.
He scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's so unbecoming. If you have something to say, just speak slowly."
She put down her chopsticks and looked at Yiqi.
“Mother, mother, His Majesty has brought Concubine Shen back to the palace!”
Liu Shihan's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. She snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain and anger.
It seems that Shen Yuning is not as strong-willed as Yan Xin. Her child was harmed by His Majesty, but now she can return to the palace and continue to enjoy His Majesty's favor.
Humph, I really underestimated her.
It's quite adaptable.
I don’t know if she will think of her unborn child when she faces His Majesty.
Yiqi stood aside, her body trembling a little. Concubine Shen's return to the palace was not the point.
She bit her lip and spoke with difficulty: “My queen, there is news from Weiyang Palace that Concubine Shen is crowned as the empress.”
Liu Shihan seemed not to hear clearly, or perhaps she simply couldn't believe what she heard.
"What did you say?"
Her hands began to tremble unconsciously.
Yiqi gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and said again: "Concubine Shen has been canonized as the empress, your majesty, this is absolutely true."
Liu Shihan was immediately filled with anger and raised her hand to overturn the dishes in front of her to the ground.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Your Majesty, doesn't there always seem to be someone you're thinking about?
She still remembered that Jingyi had told her that His Majesty would never have a queen in his lifetime because he was deeply in love with a dead woman!
Although she didn't know why Jingyi knew some things that no one else knew, when she first entered the palace, she often summoned Jingyi into the palace. It was Jingyi who told her many of His Majesty's habits and preferences, which enabled her to stand out in His Majesty's harem, which was already not full at that time.
In addition, her own body was also good. Not long after entering the palace, she became pregnant with the eldest prince, and later became pregnant with the third prince.
She sat all the way to the position of Zhaoyi.
Yiqi saw that the queen was so out of control, but she didn't dare to tell her another explosive piece of news.
She was really scared. If she told him, what would the queen do?
"My lady, there is one more thing..."
Yiqi hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, but his voice was as small as a mosquito.
Liu Shihan raised her eyes, her eyes looked like she wanted to eat someone, she gritted her teeth and said, "Speak!"
Is there any news more difficult to accept than this?
Yiqi knelt down, knocked her head on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty wants to adopt the third prince to Concubine Shen!"
Liu Shihan felt dizzy and her body went limp, almost falling off the stool to the ground.
She quickly reached out to hold onto the table and managed to steady herself. Her face instantly turned as pale as paper.
Yiqi continued, "Your Majesty, the news came from Weiyang Palace. His Majesty did not hide it, but the imperial edict has not been delivered yet."
Liu Shihan was furious, and the hatred for Shen Yuning in her heart was burning like a prairie fire.
Shen Yuning, what kind of magic potion have you given His Majesty?
No, no, I cannot just sit there and wait for death. His Majesty hasn't officially issued an imperial decree yet, so there is still room for maneuver.
I will definitely fight for it!
Liu Shihan didn't even bother to eat, she stood up abruptly and said, "Prepare the sedan chair and go to Weiyang Palace."
Shen Yuning, who was in the Weiyang Palace, had deliberately spoken to Quan Minghe about the adoption of a prince and the enthronement of an empress in front of all the palace servants.
The purpose is to let Liu Shihan know about this in advance.
She was waiting for Liu Shihan to arrive in the Weiyang Palace.
At the beginning, the original owner ended up with two lives lost because of Liu Jingyi. Although it was Liu Jingyi who actually did it, Liu Shihan also fanned the flames behind the scenes.
After the original owner died, Liu Jingyi's eldest prince began to suppress the Shen family with all his might as soon as he entered the court. Later, he even ruthlessly wiped out the entire Shen family. How could Shen Yuning not take revenge for such a deep blood feud?
She didn't just want Liu Shihan's life. After all, death was always the simplest and easiest thing in the world.
She wanted Liu Shihan to feel the pain of losing everything before she died.
Only by making her suffer both physically and mentally can the original owner's hatred be relieved.
As for Liu Jingyi, after Liu Shihan is dealt with, it will be her turn next. I wonder if she can still feel the so-called superiority of being the heroine of the novel while staying in that remote place.
Perhaps because Shen Yuning had modern ideas, even if she wanted to take revenge, she never thought of implicating others collectively, so she had no intention of taking revenge on the entire Liu family.
Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. The pain that Liu Shihan, Liu Jingyi and Feng Moheng are experiencing should be enough to soothe the original owner's pain.
now.
Shen Yuning sat next to Quan Minghe, her eyes fixed on the imperial edict he was writing, which stated that she would be enthroned as empress.
After Quan Minghe finished writing, Li Ming prepared the items needed for the second imperial edict and placed them on the table.
Suddenly a eunuch walked in.
"Your Majesty, Madam, Consort Liu requests to see you."
Quan Minghe paused as he was about to write, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Let her in."
Not long after, Liu Shihan came in. When she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Yuning sitting beside His Majesty.
His Majesty actually allowed her to sit on the dragon throne!
Liu Shihan bit her back teeth hard and with great effort, she managed to keep her expression normal.
Your Majesty has really fallen in love with Shen Yuning?
But if that was true, then why did he abort Shen Yuning's child in the first place?
Clearly, the imperial doctors all said that there was no major problem with Shen Yuning's heir to the throne.
She originally thought that His Majesty did this because he was afraid of the Shen family's influence in the northwest. Could it be that this was not the case?
Or did she guess wrong, and Shen Yuning's child was not killed by His Majesty, but by a woman in the harem that even she didn't notice?
The more Liu Shihan thought about it, the more confused she became.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated thoughts in her mind.
She walked to the center of the hall and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Shen Yuning was about to stand up and salute Liu Shihan, but before she could make any move, Quan Minghe reached out and pressed his hand on her leg.
"The imperial edict to confer the title of empress has been written. Although it has not yet been announced to the public, you are already my empress. You do not need to pay respect to Concubine Liu."
Shen Yuning nodded and made no further movement.
He just smiled gently and looked straight at Liu Shihan.
There seemed to be provocation and a bit of complacency in his eyes.
Liu Shihan crossed her hands in front of her and pinched them together. The pain in her hands allowed her to barely maintain her rationality.
Since Shen Yuning doesn't have to salute her, the implication is that she has to salute Shen Yuning!
She really didn't expect that a woman who had only been in the palace for a short year could have climbed over her head so easily.
How could she swallow this?
But no matter how unwilling or angry I was, I could only grit my teeth.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Emperor and Empress."
