"She entered the palace?" the emperor asked the spy below.
"Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that Chen Qing followed the Empress's maid into Fengyi Palace."
"Okay, find someone to control the general's mansion and don't let anyone in or out." Murong Sheng ordered in a cold voice, "Also keep an eye on the Jiang family. Tell Jiang Zhuo not to do anything stupid. I won't touch Shen Qing."
"Yes." The spy hesitated for a moment and said, "I saw Shen Qing order someone to leave in a hurry before entering the palace. I sent someone to follow him and found that it was..."
The spy raised his eyes and glanced at Murong Sheng, hesitating whether to speak.
"explain."
"It's the Qin family."
Murong Sheng looked at the spy sharply, "Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true." The spy replied stiffly.
Great, what a great Qin family!
Murong Sheng's face instantly turned ashen. His chest heaved violently, and his rage seemed about to burst through his body.
“Bang!”
He suddenly threw the Buddhist beads he was playing with to the ground. The carefully polished Buddhist beads immediately scattered and rolled all over the ground with a crackling sound.
Because of Qin Rou's matter, he indulged and tolerated the Qin family in everything, which actually made him so bold that he dared to join forces with the Shen family to rebel!
His eyes were fixed on the falling Buddhist beads, as if they were the rebellious people of the Qin family. His hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
"Liangfu, tell Qin Canghai to come over here!"
"yes."
Qin Canghai was still confused when he hurried in. Liangfu told him that the emperor was in a very bad mood and he had no idea how he had offended the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live Your Majesty."
Qin Canghai knelt on the ground tremblingly. Without Murong Sheng's permission, he didn't dare to move.
"Qin Canghai, you are so brave!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" What had he done wrong? "I don't know how I have caused Your Majesty's wrath. Please explain."
"You conspired with the Shen family to seize power and usurp the throne. Do you really think I don't know?"
What does it mean? Why doesn't he understand?
The Qin family wanted to seize power, and he, as the head of the Qin family, was the last to know?
Someone must be trying to frame the Qin family.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I have always been loyal to Your Majesty. How could I possibly be in collusion with the Shen family? Someone must be trying to frame me. Please investigate."
The spy stepped forward and whispered a few words to the emperor, only to see the emperor close his eyes slightly.
“After Shen Qing received the news of entering the palace, he immediately sent a message to your son Qin Wanming. How do you explain it?”
Qin Canghai is a seasoned veteran, how could he not understand what Murong Sheng meant.
The Qin family got into this mess because of Shen Qing. From what the emperor said, the Shen family is going to rebel?
This is incredible! No wonder the capital is filled with songs praising Shen Jianshan these days. This is going to change.
“This…I do love Jun, no, Shen Qing, but was rejected on the spot by the Shen family, so the Qin family and the Shen family rarely interact, and I am even more unhappy with Shen Qing.”
Qin Canghai said this to show that it was a great humiliation for his Qin family to be publicly rejected by the Shen family. How could he possibly join forces with the Shen family to rebel?
Mentioning that Shen Qing disliked Qin Wanming also hinted that perhaps Shen Qing did this on purpose in order to sow discord between the Qin family and the royal family.
Murong Sheng looked at Qin Canghai kneeling on the ground thoughtfully. Was he pretending or was this real?
What if he did reach some kind of agreement with the Shen family? After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
"I have wronged you, Qin Aiqing, please get up quickly." Murong Sheng softened his voice and watched Qin Canghai stand up and wipe the sweat from his forehead. "I remember that your little grandson hasn't been to the palace for a long time, right? I miss her very much."
Qin Canghai's heart trembled.
Can't you think about your own grandson? Why think about his?
"Chen'er is naughty and may have disturbed Your Majesty."
"It's okay. It's normal for children to be naughty. I ordered someone to bring him into the palace so that I can talk to him."
"this……"
"Why, my dear Qin, you don't want to?" Murong Zhi's tone was threatening.
"Of course I am willing."
Shen Qing followed the palace maid and looked around. To be honest, this was the first time she looked at the palace so carefully.
Last time, I was brought here from the Ministry of Justice, and I didn’t have time to appreciate it properly.
Now it seems really exciting.
The vermilion palace walls were tall and majestic, and the sunlight shining on them reflected a solemn light. She looked up at the endless palace walls and sighed in her heart.
The exquisite palaces, flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, and the ingeniously crafted architecture, every detail demonstrates the royal dignity and luxury.
Occasionally, palace maids and eunuchs dressed in gorgeous costumes hurried past, cautious and aware of their superiority.
Anyone who imagines owning such a huge palace would wake up laughing in his dreams, right?
"Princess, hurry up."
Xinzhu is the head maid beside the queen, and even some ladies have to be in awe of her.
"The Queen must be getting impatient."
Haha, what princess? She looks like she has never seen the world.
Shen Qing raised his eyes and saw all the disdain in her eyes. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and quickened his pace.
Follow Xinzhu to Fengyi Palace.
"Princess, please wait here for a moment. I will go and report to the Empress."
"Since it was the Queen who sent me here, why should I wait?"
She caused Murong Zhi to lose his position as crown prince. Shangguan Xi must be thinking of giving her a warning first. She could guess it with her heels.
"Princess, this is the rule." Xinzhu said in a teaching tone.
Shen Qing raised an eyebrow. Is she noble?
Xinzhu lifted the curtain and went in. Shangguan Xi was pruning flower branches.
"My lady, Shen Qing is here."
Shangguan Xi didn't say anything. She took the scissors and slowly picked out the extra branches, cutting them off bit by bit.
Xinzhu didn't say anything else. She knew Shangguan Xi had heard it and was just ignoring it on purpose.
Chen Qing stood in the yard for a while, gathering her clothes. She was sure that they wouldn't let her into the side hall, and she was also afraid that if she went in and lost something, they would blame her.
She didn't know how long she would stand like this. She looked around and saw a stone table. She walked over and sat down.
Sit and wait.
Will it break the rules?
Why should we follow rules when we are about to rebel?
When she wins, she makes others behave themselves.
If she loses, she goes to follow the rules of the dead.
When the little palace maid saw that Chen Qing actually sat down, she turned around and went in to report. After a while, Xinzhu came out with a stern face.
"Princess, the Queen invites you."
Shen Qing had just sat down and the stone bench under his butt had just warmed up. What a shame.
"Um."
She stood up and walked inside.
"Princess, I need to remind you..."
"A servant." She stopped and turned to look at Xinzhu, "I should behave like a servant. Do you want to teach me how to do things?"
Xinzhu looked at Shen Qing's eyes and her legs suddenly went limp.
