Chapter 24 Killing with a knife
"No need." Xiao Yuanqi raised Shen Sirong's arm.
Shen Sirong looked at him puzzledly, and his eyes faded little by little. Didn't he even give her a chance to refute? The eyes of that vein rolled up with sorrow.
"Come on, take down Shen Siyi for me. This woman is disrespectful to the noble concubine and tries to insult my royal face. She is unforgivable."
Xiao Yuanqi looked at the crowd and finally fixed his eyes on Wang and said a faint sentence that made Shen Siyi die.
It sounded like thunder in her ears, and Wang's legs were soft. She sat on the ground and didn't suddenly startle until Shen Siyi called for help.
"Your Majesty, they are all envoys and have nothing to do with the little girl. "Your Majesty..."
Wang fell at Xiao Yuanqi's feet. Xiao Yuanqi looked at her slightly embarrassed appearance and said coldly, "Oh? Is Mrs. Shen the mastermind?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yuanqi looked up at the direction of the entrance of Xiaoyuan. Wang was stunned and suddenly calmed down. Wang looked at Shen Shiyan in a court suit standing at the entrance of Xiaoyuan. His official hat was a little slanted, and he knew that he was in a hurry.
"Weichen participated in the emperor and the noble concubine."
Thinking that Shen Shiyan already knew what was going on here, he always lowered his head and dared not look at Xiao Yuanqi and Shen Sirong, nor did he look at Wang's mother and daughter.
"Lord Shen came just in time. Your daughter designed my noble concubine to smear my royal face. What do you think about this?" Xiao Yuanqi asked in a tone. But he clearly put Shen Shiyan on the road that he could not retreat. Shen Sirong knew his father too well. He was selfish, which was selfish enough for him to abandon Shen Siyi and choose himself.
Sure enough, Shen Shiyan said righteously, "Your Majesty, Weichen dare not say much about this matter, but it depends on the emperor's disposal. Weichen will never dare to have any objection."
"Master, you..."
Wang thought that Shen Shiyan's appearance could save Shen Siyi's vitality. After all, he was also an important minister in the court. However, he didn't expect that Shen Shiyan not only did not plead for mercy, but cut off their vitality.
"Your Majesty, everything is designed by me. Please let my daughter go." Wang shouted almost crazily. At this time, she was no longer Mrs. Shen, but a mother who wanted to protect her child.
A plea with tears made people feel strong unbearable. Shen Sirong lowered his eyes. Was her mother also maintaining her existence with such a posture?
Xiao Yuanqi asked someone to arrest Wang: "You said it was you, but I don't believe it unless you have evidence."
"Okay, I have, I have evidence. The evidence is in the room of the noble concubine. I have been drugged in a plate of sour cake I sent someone to send before. If you don't believe it, the emperor will know when he sends someone to test it.
"Drug? What medicine?"
Xiao Yuanqi remembered the plate of sour cake in Shen Sirong's house. Seeing the traces that Shen Sirong had obviously had eaten, he was confused, grabbed Shen Sirong's wrist and went out to his pulse.
Seeing Xiao Yuanqi's movements, Wang looked up and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't bother. That medicine can't be solved. It is a medicine that will confuse people. It is added with dazzling powder. From then on, she can no longer tell who the person in front of her is, haha...haha..."
"I'm fine..." Shen Sirong pulled Xiao Yuanqi's hand off his wrist and whispered.
"Gone to the imperial doctor." Xiao Yuanqi shouted, and the sound that nothing happened made him even more uneasy. And Shen Sirong's pale face is the best evidence.
"Lord Shen, there is no need to keep these women." Xiao Yuanqi asked Shen Sirong to lean on her shoulder and said to Shen Shiyan, who was kneeling in front of him.
After a little hesitation, Shen Shiyan leaned down and bowed, and then said that he took out the written divorce letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yuanqi. Xiao Yuanqi read: "Now there is Wang's wife, who is jealous, under strict governance, and does not treat women. It's really hateful to make the house unstable, and now it is abandoned because of jealousy.
"Well, then Wang is no longer Mrs. Shen. Fortunately, someone will take Wang down and kill him." Xiao Yuanqi gently threw down Xiu Shu.
As if throwing down the judgment order, Wang was dragged out, and her feet fell to the ground, making shallow marks on the ground.
"Mom, mother..." Shen Siyi struggled and shouted, and Wang only left a weak look for her, and her trembling lips could not spit out a word.
Shen Sirong watched Wang disappear in front of him. He did not feel happy in his heart, but was even heavier.
"As for Shen Siyi, I will stay. I hope Lord Shen will be well disciplined. If there is a next time, I will send her to the military camp." Xiao Yuanqi bit the word barracks very clearly.
"Your Majesty..." Shen Shiyan finally couldn't help opening his mouth, but Shen Sirong smiled sadly. She looked at Shen Shiyan's tearful eyes and only felt pitiful.
Did he cry for Shen Siyi, or for the family's misfortune?
Xiao Yuanqi turned around, took Shen Sirong's hand and walked into her boudoir. The yard quickly returned to quiet, as if none of this had happened.
Closing the door, Shen Sirong shook off Xiao Yuanqi's hand with a smile: "Isn't the emperor going back to the palace?"
"Don't you want to see me?" Xiao Yuanqi frowned and asked.
Shen Sirong just stared at him and said nothing. She was waiting for Xiao Yuanqi to give her an answer. Xiao Yuanqi also looked at the deepest part of Shen Sirong's eyes, where his head kept spinning, making people inadvertently taken into the depths and unable to struggle.
"Do you know all about it?"
Xiao Yuanqi asked half unexpectedly and half sure.
"Isn't the emperor a fool? What kind of person is the emperor? Do you really not know what happened to Zhang Meiren? Even if it is related to the concubine, the emperor will not use this to isolate the concubine so much. Shen Sirong said with a sad smile.
"Then why did you invite yourself out of the palace?"
Xiao Yuanqi looked at Shen Sirong, who sat down. Her eyes were calm and there were no waves.
"The concubine wants to give the emperor a chance. An opportunity to suppress my Shen family and lift up the Wang family. Today's incident is a scandal of the Shen family. Even if the Wang family is abandoned, it will ruin most of the reputation of our Shen family, and Wang Shu's favor makes the Wang family go straight up. Isn't this what the emperor wants?
"You can see it clearly. Go on." Xiao Yuanqi's words came out softly and slowly, listening to Shen Sirong's words.
Shen Sirong pulled up the arc of the corners of her mouth, and her heart was entangled: "But your Majesty, as you know, I will not give my concubine a chance to return to the palace alive. Therefore, the emperor's orders that the meals of the concubines are all from the palace, and even the people sent are Guo Gong.
"Yes, I don't want you to make any mistakes."
Xiao Yuanqi stared at Shen Sirong and was fascinated by the shallow pain in her eyes.
"But does the emperor know that he will almost never see me again?"
Shen Sirong's mood was turbulent and no longer claimed to be a concubine.
"How do you say this?" Xiao Yuanqi held the edge of the table, his fingers inadvertently exerted force, and the bones were blue.
"The emperor must have known about the lunch sent by Mother Lan today, but the meal sent by Mother Lan was poisonous. If I hadn't had a bad appetite and thrown the lunch to feed the dog, I'm afraid I would have been distracted at this moment."
"No, Mother Lan is the person around her mother. She will never do such a thing. There must be someone else. I will find out about this matter. Don't worry."
Xiao Yuanqi's reaction had long been expected by Shen Sirong. Empress Hui'an was his weakness, and even Mother Lan could not be touched.
Shen Sirong does not argue with him, and she is not very sure that she will not move about Mother Lan's affairs.
"I didn't agree with Shen Siyi, and the last incident in the palace added fuel to the fire. After I returned home, she was extremely close to me, which made me feel defensive. She hid the veil today on the pretext of looking forward to see my concubine. The veil is obviously made of men's clothes. They just calculated that I was drugged and would misidentify that person.
Naturally, they will not be so stupid. Killing Shen Sirong will make Xiao Yuanqi investigate strictly. If Xiao Yuanqi is attracted by himself, there is no way to investigate.
"And what the man in black said must have been true. If it hadn't been for the flaw in the freehand, I wouldn't have carried the name of a concubine."
Shen Sirong sighed gently. In this short half-day, she played a game of chess, and the black and white were in her hands. If there was a half-step difference, she would lose the whole game.
She can only hide the things about Mother Lan.
If she hadn't seen the person who looked like Mother Lan in Fengming Palace, she would not have suspected that she would have gone to Mother Lan. According to dictation, the dog's eyes divergent and clearly lost consciousness. And Shen Siyi's appearance was too coincidental, so Shen Sirong was so sure that there was fraud. Fortunately, she personally sent Mother Lan to the car back to the palace and did not give anyone a chance to report to Wang's mother and daughter.
And when she saw the cloth that obviously belonged to the man, she knew that she wanted Xiao Yuanqi to catch the current situation.
However, there was still a cold night, but she suffered from freehand writing, and the opportunity to leave the palace secretly was so gone. Thinking of just now, Shen Sirong was still frightened. If he forgot to tie a ribbon between his freehand wrists, would he still stop the man in black cloak in the cold night?
Even if Xiao Yuanqi pulled Wang into the water and kissed her mother, the mess left behind will be even more sad...
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Yuanqi looked at Shen Sirong's gloomy face and asked softly.
Shen Sirong raised his eyes and smiled and sighed depressedly: "I didn't think about anything, just..."
"Let's go back to the palace with me." Xiao Yuanqi hooked Shen Sirong's chin and sealed her soft lips without waiting for her answer. Shen Sirong clenched his teeth, but trembled under his lips, but did not respond.
Xiao Yuanqi opened Shen Sirong's teeth with his teeth, and a strange but familiar breath poured in from his nose, penetrating every feeling of Shen Sirong.
The suffocation in her chest made Shen Sirong feel sick. She half pushed away and half tried hard to escape from Xiao Yuanqi's arms.
"My concubine, I went to see the freehand pictures. It's getting late. By the way, I asked the maid to come in to pack up my things. Please wait a moment."
Shen Sirong walked to the next room in a panic. Xiao Yuanqi sat down and thought about today's events carefully...
