Xiao Shen was slightly surprised: "This concubine thanked the emperor on behalf of A Yuan."

"The queen and the noble concubine have been fighting for so many years, and you don't have to worry about being caught in the middle." Emperor Hong Ming slightly raised his hand to signal her to excuse him: "I am getting old now, and I only want peace between my children and no disputes in the harem."

Xiao Shen sat down again: "His Royal Highness was taught by the emperor himself. He has a good character and outstanding ability. He also loves his younger siblings and lives up to his status as an elder brother. The empress is dignified and virtuous. Both the back house and the harem are well-organized. Your Majesty You can rest assured."

"The prince is indeed good, but this empress." Emperor Hong Ming could always think of Empress Shen's intention to use tiger and wolf medicine to harm him. After many years of husband and wife, Empress Shen's move really chilled him.

There was no way to defend this matter, so Xiao Shen remained silent.

"I treat her well." Emperor Hong Ming was angry and disappointed, but he didn't want to tell Xiao Shen about such a thing. After being bored for a while, he said he wanted to rest.

Xiao Shen served him to lie down, sat on the edge of the bed and watched quietly, waiting for him to fall asleep before leaving.

It was already dark outside, and it didn't know when it started to rain, Chunyang looked at the sky and said: "Your Majesty, let someone prepare the sedan chair, don't get your shoes and socks wet."

Xiao Shen nodded, and soon the sedan chair came. She sat in the sedan chair, and Chunyang followed beside her with an umbrella. , when passing through the yard, Chunyang suddenly saw a black shadow passing quickly in front of him.

She was startled: "Who?"

This shout scared the whole group of people, the bold servant went forward to check with the lamp, took a photo of the left and right, and immediately replied: "Auntie, is your eyes blurred?"

"Probably." Chunyang rubbed his eyes: "Let's go quickly, don't stay in the yard for too long."

They carried the sedan chair and left in a hurry. When they returned to the sleeping hall, the rain had intensified. After working hard all day, Mrs. Shen was exhausted, and planned to take an early rest after washing up.

Chunyang made the bed for her, and his face was full of joy: "Our Highness continues to serve as Liangzhou governor and governor. It was arranged by the emperor. When we go to Liangzhou, we will not have the previous predicament. When the credits are almost accumulated, the empress will also You can rest assured."

"How can you rest assured, this is the beginning. With her credit, more people will stare at her. The road is still long." Xiao Shen was really tired, so she lay down after speaking: "Have someone close the doors and windows , you should rest earlier too."

Chunyang responded, put down the tent for her, extinguished the candle near the bed, and then went out lightly.

Xiaoshen fell asleep drowsily, but suddenly felt very uneasy. She pulled the quilt, turned slightly to change her position, but the feeling of uneasiness became stronger, she couldn't help frowning, opened her eyes cautiously, There was a flash of thunder, and a tall figure standing outside the tent was clearly seen.

For a moment, Xiao Shen's heartbeat almost stopped. She smelled the smell of blood and immediately guessed the identity of the other party, but she didn't panic and yelled, she sat up slowly, and the person outside the tent also stretched out the dagger.

"I was found in your house at this time. With King Zhongshan's suspicion, do you think he will believe that you are innocent?" Song Zheng knew very well where Xiao Shen's weakness was: "Mother's innocence has its disadvantages. , Song Yuan can no longer raise his head."

When Song Yuan was mentioned, Xiao Shen's was threatened. She looked at Song Zheng calmly and asked, "You came to me because you want to use my hand to avenge you?"

Through the lightning flashing outside the window, she could clearly see Song Zheng's hand holding the knife. The wound that was simply bandaged was still bleeding, which showed that he was seriously injured, but even so, she was not sure about killing Song Zheng.

"She's a smart woman." The short knife stuck to Xiao Shen's face: "Do as I say, and I can let you go."

Xiao Shen was separated from him by the tent, so she couldn't clearly see how proud he was hiding in the dark, but she knew very well that she could not startle anyone by shouting. It is a dead end, even if the opponent is an assassin.

"I just came back from the emperor. It's not appropriate to go there now. I will go there tomorrow morning." She wanted to delay time.

Song Zheng didn't have that much patience, he shook his head: "Tomorrow? I can't wait, you go now, otherwise I can't guarantee that the maid serving you will find the man's things tomorrow."

Xiao Shen is not afraid of this kind of threat. People who can serve her will never betray her. Let alone Song Zheng is just a verbal threat, so what if he can really find out?But she didn't want to offend Song Zheng, it wouldn't do her any good to make things big at this time.

This person in front of him dared to break into the palace for revenge, God knows what other things he would go crazy and do?At this time, self-protection is the most important thing.

"Okay, I'll go, but I want someone to come in and make up for me."

Song Zheng stuck the short knife to her neck: "No need, you go by yourself, open the door of the bedroom, and your work will be done."

go alone?This road is very risky, what if Song Zheng finds out that there is no hope of revenge and has evil intentions?How to explain if people saw her?Even if she really took him there, she would definitely not end well.

Thinking about this, Xiao Shen got down from the bed obediently, took the cloak hanging at the side and wrapped it around her, walked to the door hesitantly, took an umbrella, and opened the palace door amidst the sound of thunder and lightning.

There was no one outside, and it was another tiring day due to heavy wind and rain. The person on duty should have gone to find a place to shelter from the rain. Song Zheng did not follow, but Xiao Shen knew that he must be watching her from behind. Once she If you take some action, you are afraid that your life will be lost before the imperial army arrives.

She stabilized her breath, walked into the rain with an umbrella, and did not close the door of the temple. The rain was heavy. After walking for a while, her shoes, socks, skirt and shirt were all wet, and her loose hair was also splashed by the rain. Wet, and because she didn't carry a lamp, she walked in the palace in the dark, and her speed was very slow.

Song Zheng followed her not far away. He had figured out the timing of the patrol of the forbidden army on this road. He could always ask Xiao Shen to hide when the forbidden army was about to arrive. Xiao Shen was very obedient. She and Song Zheng were in the same mood The same, we all know that we must never let people find out.

Waiting patiently for the imperial army to pass by, Xiao Shen was released and continued on. Through the dark courtyard, she went up to the verandah, and after walking two palaces, it was time to arrive at Emperor Hong Ming's bedroom. Her heart was almost in her throat, and she quickly thought about the way around her, and she also planned the route of how to get out.

She must get rid of Song Zheng, so that no one can find out that she brought him here.

When passing through the small door at one end of the corridor, a hand suddenly stretched out and pulled her away. Almost at the same time, a sword collided behind him. Although Song Zheng was on guard in time, he took several steps back.
