Chapter 518: Shock
The Queen naturally didn’t care. The life or death of a fallen prince had nothing to do with her.
Shen Chuliu didn't care too much. Whether King Wei was alive or not, Shen Biqing had already established herself.
She looks like the crown prince already. If Prince Wei is no longer around, Qi Chuan will be able to inherit the title.
Of course it doesn't matter. I don't think there is any love between Shen Biqiong and King Wei. It's just for the sake of life.
Shen Chuliu returned to Yufu Palace, changed her clothes and called Nanny Zhang.
"Master, are you looking for a servant?"
"Well, a lot of things have happened in the palace. The nanny has been training the people in Yu Fu Palace recently, so we asked the nanny to come over." Shen Chuliu said.
Nanny Zhang quickly replied yes, looking like a servant listening.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Concubine Li's miscarriage was an accident, but we still have Concubine Mei. I think everyone in the harem is staring at her belly. We have also rewarded her, so we don't have to deal with Changle Palace in the future. We should avoid her in everything. I think she won't come to me just because she is pregnant."
"Oh, don't worry, master. I will tell everyone down there." Nanny Zhang still looked a little disappointed.
She thought that the master could not tolerate Concubine Mei.
To put it bluntly, which of these health-preserving madams doesn't know how to harm others? However, they are all human beings, and they don't like to harm others even if there is nothing to do.
Over the years, my master has never had the intention of harming anyone.
No wonder the emperor dotes on her.
It doesn't matter if he appears to be ruthless on the surface, what matters is that he harms people behind their backs. So no matter how powerful his master appears to be, or how he slaps a concubine in the face in public, the emperor doesn't care.
The emperor probably knows that his queen is kind-hearted.
"However, just because I don't do anything doesn't mean I don't want to know anything. Nanny has been in the palace for many years and has more experience than anyone here. Just start to think about it. I have many doubts about what has happened recently. For example, Zhen Chongyi harmed the eighth prince before, and Wen Chongrong harmed the empress dowager again." Shen Chuliu said.
"Master, what you mean is..." Aunt Zhang paused: "Do you think this is wrong?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's right or not. I want to know who is so powerful behind the scenes. We don't ask for anything else, but we can't be tricked."
"Yes, master, don't worry. I will investigate carefully." Nanny Zhang responded.
Shen Chuliu spoke a few more words to her and asked her to leave.
She also said the same thing to Zhemei and Yuanxiao.
Zhemei had some experience and connections, but she couldn't do anything. But it might be useful to find out some things.
As for Yuan Xiao, although he is young, he is willing to study and has some skills.
But this is not a one-day job.
Shen Chuliu didn't care about anything else after he gave his instructions.
It's still daily life.
After having lunch with the Sixth Prince at noon, the Sixth Prince went back.
Shen Chuliu can choose to sleep or not at noon in winter, but today he doesn't want to sleep so he doesn't and spends time reading in his study.
Maybe it was because I didn’t sleep during the day, so I felt sleepy early at night and went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Shen Chuliu felt an itch on his neck and reached out to scratch it.
It didn't matter that she grabbed it, she subconsciously threw the thing in her hand away and screamed.
Shen Chuliu was the kind of person who could wake up immediately no matter how sleepy she was. In her previous life, no matter how soundly she slept, as long as there was a phone call, she would wake up immediately after answering it.
So, when she felt the tingling sensation in her hand, she suddenly threw it back and screamed.
When Zhemei and Zengchun rushed in, Shen Chuliu was already standing on the ground barefoot.
Behind them, the little girls Suihong and Xinlu also came in with lamps in their hands. When they saw the bed and the floor, they were so scared that they almost dropped the lamps in their hands.
Yuanxiao and Yinhu also came in and hurriedly helped Shen Chuliu out of the bedroom.
"Go and see if the master is hurt."
Yuan Xiao was anxious: "Send someone to invite the imperial physician, and ask the emperor to come! Quickly!"
The young eunuch outside heard it and dared not delay. She ran away in a hurry, not even knowing what happened in the house.
The lights were on in Yufu Palace, and Shen Chuliu was sitting on a couch in the outer room wrapped in a cloak.
She was really scared, because what she just caught in her hand was a scorpion.
The thing she fears most.
The feeling of it moving around in her hands, the feeling on her neck, she really wanted to scream a few more times.
No matter how powerful a person is, there are things they are afraid of, and these are what she fears the most.
What's more, the scorpion was caught so violently by her that several of its legs even fell off and got stuck in her neck.
Shen Chuliu felt so nauseous and uncomfortable that he was in a trance.
What's more, later, when the palace maids came in with lights and saw that there were four or five more in and on the tent, and three on the ground, everyone was shocked.
This is a poisonous scorpion!
An almost pure black venomous scorpion.
People say that venomous snakes are poisonous, but scorpions can also kill people. Something of this color, this size, and half the size of a fist is obviously highly poisonous.
Fortunately, the queen was not stung.
Yuanxiao and the others didn't care about anything else. They quickly grabbed everything they could see in the inner room and put them in a deep jar.
After lighting all the lights and turning out all the bedding in the inner room, they found seventeen of them. One of them was dead, with a leg missing. It was the one that Shen Chuliu had thrown out.
In Shuyuxuan, it was the eunuch Jinsuo who came to ask for help. When the outsiders saw that it was Concubine Jing's people, they did not dare to stop him.
Although Concubine Lin was serving the emperor, it was obviously not a good thing for her to come, but who would dare to offend Concubine Jing, who was so fierce? Although she was reluctant, she had to go in and report.
However, the eunuch Sun Fu used some skills in his speech: "Your Majesty, Lady Concubine, it was the eunuch Jinsuo from Concubine Jing's side who came. He didn't say what it was about, but just wanted to invite Your Majesty to Yufu Palace. I asked him, but he didn't say anything."
This means that the emperor was called up for no reason.
Even if it was a snatch or something, there must be a reason. If you say you feel uncomfortable, that counts as a reason, right?
Qi Yixiu frowned: "What time is it?"
"Your Majesty, it's past midnight." Chusi responded. Chusi didn't care what Sun Fu was thinking. He was not in a hurry because the emperor had his own plans.
"Light the lights and change your clothes." Qi Yixiu knew very well that Shen Chuliu would not do anything without a purpose.
She was so smart. If she just wanted to ask him to go, she could make up ten thousand reasons, not to mention that the time was not right.
If it was earlier, she might make a fuss, but in the middle of the night, she would never do that.
Especially since her servants said nothing, something must have happened.
The people in Yufu Palace are very tight-lipped.
Qi Yixiu stood up quickly. Concubine Lin naturally did not dare to stop him, and was stopped by the emperor when she wanted to follow him.
Of course the emperor meant that it was late at night and his beloved concubine didn't need to work anymore.
But what Lin Jieyu heard was that you don't have to go, you're just in the way.
So she just sent the emperor out and dared not do anything else.
