Yanmenchun

Chapter 69

In Kunning Palace.

The queen was sitting on the main seat talking to Concubine Shu.

After a long banquet, she didn't show any signs of fatigue on her face. She leaned on the couch and the maid took out the cigarette rod and lit it for her.

Concubine Shu sat down and looked cute.

The queen took a couple of puffs on the cigarette stick before saying, "He is quite courageous."

She didn't name her name, but Concubine Shu knew who she was talking about.

She did not tell the queen about her plan with Shen Tuchan, she was a cautious person, otherwise she would not have been honored and favored in this deep palace for so many years.

The Queen was taking care of the New Year's banquet, and she allowed her to do it, but she didn't expect them to make such a big fuss.

Concubine Shu waited for a while, but she didn't see the queen before she spoke again: "Your Majesty, this person is available, and it is our benefit that she hit the Li family like this."

The empress glanced at her when she heard the words: "You think it's useful, you also got involved in the affairs of the Duke of Ming's last time, right?"

Concubine Shu didn't say a word, the empress had power in her hands, and her two sons were already well-fed, so she didn't take Concubine Yu seriously. The opponent she could see in the entire harem was Concubine Rong, and the eleventh prince was growing up. Yes, the two still have a fierce battle.

But Concubine Shu is different. She has no son. Princess Taian is just about to marry. She cannot lose the emperor's favor. The queen will not stand up for her, so what should Princess Taian do?

Concubine Shu had a bit of obedience and regret on her face: "Your Majesty, this concubine is not only for Tai'an, but also for the two Highnesses, the Eleventh Prince."

The Li family is the eleventh prince's biggest backing.

Concubine Shu didn't finish her sentence.

In fact, what the empress cared about was not causing troubles at her palace banquet, but what she cared about was Shen Tuchan. Seeing that Concubine Shu didn't understand, she said directly: "Do you think Shen Tuchan can be called Princess Yan?"

Concubine Shu didn't think about it, she couldn't help but probed after hearing the words: "His Royal Highness Yan is straightforward, and has always been impatient with noble ladies, I'm afraid she doesn't like Miss Shentu?"

The queen sighed and shook her head. She was more or less manned in the mansion of her two sons. Although there were only a few words about Jiang Lan treating Shen Tuchan differently, who is Jiang Lan? I don't think my side is clean until now, I think it's my heart.

But the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Shen Tuchan was not a good match, and the Zhenbeihou Mansion had already fallen, so she sighed and said: "He is picky, he doesn't like things that are pretentious, and he doesn't like things that are too clumsy and rough. This Shen Tu Chan is just right, but it's a pity that her thoughts are too vicious, that's all, I will choose a better one for him."

Concubine Shu nodded along, but couldn't help thinking in her heart, it would be fine if the empress made a mess of the mandarin ducks, and if King Yan was interested in Shen Tuchan, the empress might not be able to decide.

On the fourth day of junior high school, the Punishment Department did not interrogate any useful information. The fake eunuch only said that he was wronged and brought in after being beaten unconscious, and he didn't know anything else.

After Sun woke up, she was a little dazed. She couldn't imagine who would use such vicious means to harm her.

But she was still young, she didn't want to die, Li Xiangshan married her, and now he looked at her very coldly, so he only gave her a white silk.

Sun's daughters knelt outside and begged. Although their mother made them lose their lives, they were not guilty of death. Sun's son never showed up, probably because he thought the same as his father.

Crying, Sun hugged Li Shan's thigh and said: "We were a husband and wife, you know that I was murdered, I will go to the family temple to have my hair cut! I will go to become a monk, please forgive me!"

Li Xiangshan looked at her coldly. Over the years, with the growth of his children, Mrs. Sun gradually lost her respect and humility. He tortured and killed concubines and mutilated the concubine's children. He didn't bother to pay attention to this stupid woman, but after such a thing happened, Mrs. Sun couldn't stay anymore, he said coldly: "It was my negligence that made you fall into the wrong place. Everyone can use you to attack Mrs. Li's weakness while you are alive. Madam, please do one last thing for me Bar."

He picked up the white silk and wrapped it around Sun's neck. Sun pulled the white silk in horror, and ran out while calling for help. Li Xiangshan restrained her with two or three strokes. He gradually lost his voice.

Li Xiangshan didn't let go until Sun's eyeballs bulged and his seven orifices were bleeding.

Miss Li heard her mother's screams stop abruptly outside, and immediately fell to the ground and began to cry.

Sun's body lost its traction and fell to the ground with a plop.

Li Xiangshan turned around and sat in front of the desk beside him and began to write.

Shen Tuchan was right, in the early morning of the fifth day, before the imperial decree to be issued to Taiwei's mansion was printed, Li Taiwei submitted a statement of guilt and entered the palace.

He cried and complained that Mrs. Sun was assassinated by someone, and went on a hunger strike as soon as he got back. He felt sorry for the imperial concubine and Mrs. Li, and hanged himself this morning to prove his innocence.

Before he died, he wrote down the confession, and asked the empress to read it.

Shen Tuchan was drawing a picture, and couldn't help but sneer when she heard the news from Xiaoman: "I just said, Mr. Taiwei is a big deal, what a good move to draw the salary from the bottom of the pot."

Xiao Man smacked his lips and said, "Will the palace still punish Mrs. Li?"

Li Xiangshan reacted so quickly, and there was Concubine Rong in the palace, he probably lifted it high and put it down gently.

Shen Tuchan originally did not expect much punishment from the palace, so she was not disappointed.

Seeing that she was silent, Xiao Man took a step forward and said, "Miss, there is news from Prince Yan's residence, His Highness Prince Yan wants to see you."

Shen Tuchan put the pen aside and said, "It just so happens that I have something to do with him."

When Shen Tuchan arrived at Qingfeng Teahouse, Jiang Lan was already there.

As soon as Shen Tuchan entered the tea room, Xiao Man took off the cloak on her body, she stood while Xiao Man took off the cloak and said: "How did you tell the Empress about the matter with Princess Ning?"

Jiang Lan was sitting on the tea couch by the window with her legs bent, rubbing her thumb on the jade ring on her index finger, her gaze fell on her cloak and said: "There is no need to talk about the medicine."

Some people don't want to mention it.

Shen Tuchan stopped talking about these trivial matters, and took out the picture she drew today from her cuffs and presented it with both hands: "Your Highness, please have a look."

Jiang Lan reached out and took the neat stack of papers.

He opened it and looked at it for a while, then folded it back seriously, frowned and said, "How did you know? You were only ten years old at that time, right?"

Shen Tuchan sat down with a smile and said, "I have seen the marching map of Hanzhong, and I drew it based on the marching map and my memory."

In fact, she has not only seen it, but also has the blueprints of Hanzhong and Mobei in her hands, and she often takes them out to look through them, even if she closes her eyes, she can draw them.

Jiang Lan remained silent for a moment, and Shen Tuchan didn't care, she just said, "Your Highness, I want to borrow the Hu Dao."

Jiang Lan's eyes fell on her face and she nodded: "What's the trouble?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head and said, "A little thing."

Jiang Lan didn't think that there would be a trivial matter in her mouth, and she was a little displeased when she heard the words: "Is that considered a trivial matter in the palace?"

Shen Tuchan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Naturally."

The two looked at each other, and she couldn't understand Jiang Lan's meaning, so she looked away first and said, "What is your Highness' order for me?"

Jiang Lan turned her gaze out of the window: "I want to know all your plans, including the situation at the palace banquet that day."

In fact, this request is not too much, after all, it is to prevent conflicts between the two parties, but Shen Tuchan feels that something is wrong.

She didn't dwell on the doubts at this moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, I want to see General Fenwei Chen Wuyong, I'm afraid Li Taiwei will jump over the wall and stop me around Zhenbei Hou Mansion."

Jiang Lan frowned slightly, and didn't even speak, but only asked with her eyes.

Shen Tuchan poured out the tea, and the hot steam of the tea rose in front of her. She looked at the steam and said helplessly: "Your Highness, this is my own business, and it will not affect the overall situation. I just have some questions to ask." he."

After a pause, she continued: "Because of the New Year, Lin Zicheng's affairs have been undecided. Princess Wenyang will protect Her Majesty, right?"

Her words also meant to test Jiang Lan, to see if he knew about it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lan didn't even move her eyebrows, she just said: "She can't protect her."

Princess Wenyang is his biological aunt, but after he said this, Shen Tuchan was relieved a lot, she didn't want to waste all her efforts, Lin Zhicheng was still staying in the capital city to add to her troubles.
