All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Shen Lingxi's eyes were full of surprise.

Ever since she asked Shen Ji to sign the "letter of dissolution", she still has contact with the Shen family because of the property that her ancestors gave her.But he almost never paid attention to the affairs of Xuanpinghou Mansion.

When the news of Mu Huaijie's sudden death reached the East Palace, she asked Chunjun Feige to pass a letter to Mu Huaian.

Mu Huaian also sent his personal guards back to Beijing to take care of Mu Huaijie's funeral.

Shen Lingxi never thought that Shen Yuyao would encounter such an experience when she entered the palace to accompany the queen.

"The emperor is not a fool. How could he admit the wrong person after just a few glasses of wine? Besides, there are so many people in Kunning Palace, and they let the emperor ruin them?" Shen Lingxi asked with a frown.

Liu Meiren glanced at her, smoothed the handkerchief in her hand, and asked with a smile, "How did you know it was a 'waste' and not a great opportunity?"

Shen Lingxi's almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, with an inquiring look.

She knew that Liu Meiren rarely used this tone to comment on real suffering people.

Liu Meiren seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "When the emperor woke up, Shen Yuyao cried so much that she was like a pear blossom with rain. If she slept with a palace maid, that would be fine. But it happened to be Shen Yuyao, a widow. Her father was still the commander of the Huben Army, so he couldn't kill her. , I can’t even chase you away, and if word spreads, I won’t be able to become a wise king like the emperor.”

"The queen came forward to calm Shen Yuyao down, and issued a gag order. She only claimed that she was responsible for the rain and dew."

"If this was just a casual marriage, it would be nothing. I don't know what method Shen Yuyao used to teach the emperor to taste marrow."

"The emperor goes to Kunning Palace every now and then. Whenever he rests in Kunning Palace, he is bound to end up with Shen Yuyao. There was a rumor a while ago that the emperor and empress' love has been rekindled, but it is actually the emperor and Shen Yuyao."

"The queen is not angry, but is happy to see the result. I guess the queen is afraid that there will be too many children in the palace and there will be no children around her, so she decided to let Shen Yuyao conceive a dragon heir for her. "

"Hey, if I had known that Kunning Palace was so busy, I should have gone to Kunning Palace every day."

When Shen Lingxi heard this, she frowned deeply.

"This matter is not quite right. The Queen is not one of those people who takes advantage of the beauty of people around her and favors her children. If she really wanted to do this, she would have taken Prince An to her after something happened to Prince An's mother, Concubine Lian, in the early years. It’s not about letting Prince An follow Concubine Wen.”

Liu Meiren found it normal, "She was in that position and suffered huge changes. Now the Mu family is in this situation. Her temperament has changed drastically, and it is normal for her to use any means."

Shen Lingxi didn't argue with her and asked, "Who did you listen to about these things?"

"You don't know, you're scared to death." Liu Meiren curled her lips, "Since the strange incident of pigeons throwing themselves into the lake that night, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on the goings-on in the palaces for you? I had nothing to do last night, so I thought I haven't been there for a few days, so I went to the palace for a walk. Unexpectedly, when I passed by the cold palace, I suddenly heard the scream of a woman..."

Having said this, she patted her heart with lingering fear, "You haven't seen that more than a dozen palace people, including maids and eunuchs, were personally led by your cheap father and the inner guards, and they wrapped white silk around their necks, just like that Pull hard and the person will be gone."

"Those palace servants are all serving in Kunning Palace. It seems that because some rumors related to Shen Yuyao have spread in the palace in the past few days, the emperor personally issued the order."

"Those palace people are so miserable that they have never closed their eyes to death. They have turned into ghosts and are crying. They are full of resentment. After I talked to them for a while, I found out everything."

"I also heard them say that the Queen was interceding on their behalf. Shen Yuyao relied on the dragon seed in her belly to seek death and survival in front of the Emperor. She also said that if the scandal spread, she would be ashamed to live. The Emperor then ordered that the emperor All the low-ranking palace officials in Kunning Palace who knew the news were executed. In addition, Shen Ji led others to carry out the execution, and their resentment against Shen Yuyao became even deeper."

Liu Meiren covered her lips and approached Shen Lingxi, and said mysteriously: "From what I see, they are trying to hit Shen Yuyao's fetus."

Shen Lingxi's eyes darkened slightly.The formed fetuses all have fetal spirits. If these vengeful souls stay with Shen Yuyao for a long time and their resentment affects the fetal spirits, the fetus in the belly will be stillborn even if it is born.

Shen Yuyao's few words cost more than ten lives.

Their dead souls would not let go of Shen Yuyao, which was also the cause and effect of Shen Yuyao.

Shen Lingxi never interferes easily with the cause and effect of others.

Therefore, after she heard about this kind of thing, she let it go.

Seeing her silence, Liu Meiren asked again: "Few people in the capital know about the breakup of your relationship with Shen Ji. On the surface, you are still a member of the Shen family after all. I'm afraid if they find out that you can see ghosts, , they will turn their anger on you, and when they come back, they will go around the palace for a long time before throwing them away. You better not go into the palace these days, lest you be stared at by them."

Shen Lingxi shook her head.

"Don't forget that Sheng Kun disappeared in the palace after his body was disassembled. If there is anything suspicious in the palace, it must be related to Sheng Kun. Besides..."

Hearing her mention Sheng Kun, Liu Meiren's expression turned cold and serious.

"Besides what?" she asked.

Shen Lingxi raised his eyes and looked at her, "My body was brought to Da Zhou by Sheng Kun. He lied to his mother and claimed that he took this body to Taiyi Mountain for treatment, but in fact... he threw it into the coffin. It was picked up by Aweng."

"Not only that, I also got the identity of the real daughter of Xuanpinghou Mansion. With Sheng Kun's scheming mind, he will never do anything in vain. I believe that all this is more than just a coincidence. Maybe he has already started to arrange it secretly. What's going on?"

Liu Meiren's eyes were full of shock, "But now, he doesn't even have a body. In this world, you are the only one who can see his soul, so what can he do?"

"Don't forget, he is not just a dead soul now, he is combined with the Mingyang Jade. The Mingyang Jade has the ability to absorb souls and refine souls..." Shen Lingxi's face changed slightly when she said this.

Almost at the same time, Liu Meiren also realized something and opened her eyes wide, "Do you think those people died because he deliberately killed them for the sake of refining?"

Shen Lingxi's eyebrows were solemn, "Go back and see if they are still there. If not..."

Liu Meiren didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and hurriedly drifted out of the palace.

"You have to be careful." Shen Lingxi told her from behind: "Keep a distance from the people in Kunning Palace, maybe he has found the possessed body."

Liu Meiren didn't look back and waved the handkerchief at her, "Wait for my news."

*
After Liu Meiren left, Shen Lingxi hurried to the front hall and told Chu Yan the news she had brought.

The two discussed it and decided to stay put for the time being and wait for Liu Meiren to bring new news.

However, three full days passed and Shen Lingxi did not wait for Liu Meiren to come back.

Instead, she received an oral instruction from the emperor himself to send Eunuch Cao to the East Palace to summon her into the palace.

"The Emperor has decreed that the Queen has not seen the Crown Princess for many days and misses her very much. She has announced that the Crown Princess will go to Kunning Palace to sit for a while..." (End of Chapter)
