Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 66 Coveted
Emperor Wen Hui smiled dryly: "The princess really cares about the regent."

Shen Xi responded calmly, "Your Highness is the concubine's husband, and the concubine should love him and respect him."

To be honest, after hearing this, the people below felt that what they said was really against their will. What Shen Xi had done in the past three years did not make people see that she loved him and respected him at all.

Emperor Wen Hui wanted to say something else, but a person came out of the inner room, and it was the side concubine Wen.

The first time she saw Emperor Wen Hui, she bowed obediently: "My concubine Wen has seen His Majesty."

Shen Xi glanced at her quickly from the corner of her eyes, feeling disdainful.

No matter what.

Emperor Wen Hui's eyes turned from Shen Xi's to Wen's in an instant. As the saying goes, women should be pretty and be filial, and these words are really vividly expressed in Wen's body.

"Excuse me." Emperor Wen Hui didn't go up to help her at the moment, but just glanced up and down: "The regent is really blessed."

Wen's expression froze.

At this moment, Shen Changming came out to relieve the encirclement: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and there are still memorials waiting for your review in the palace."

That's right, now that Xiao Che is gone, all memorials in the court must be personally reviewed by the emperor.

In the past, the emperor thought it was quite easy, because the memorials that came to him were all personally approved by Xiao Che, and most of the time he only needed to stamp a seal.

And now?Doing everything by himself, he has to read all kinds of notebooks every morning, and only now does he start to think of Xiao Che's good words.

Now there are rumors that someone saw Xiao Che in Loulan, but this rumor is a bit absurd. Xiao Che always wears a mask. Even the emperor has never seen his real appearance. Who can prove that he is What about Xiao Che?

Having said that, he still sent someone to Loulan to check. He would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let that one person go.

Because Xiao Che threatened him too much.

Emperor Wen Hui seemed a little reluctant, but he sneaked out today against the Queen Mother's will. If he stayed for too long, he didn't know how the Queen Mother would get angry after returning.

The Empress Dowager was afraid that Xiao Che would fake his death, so she deliberately quoted Emperor Wen Hui to be fooled, and waited for him to relax his vigilance before coming out with a fatal move.

What do you think if the emperor leaves the palace and is ambushed by Xiao Che's men?He's not a fool. When he was assassinated in Xunyang, he would have guessed that it was a good deed done by the emperor. How could he let it go with his character?
Therefore, the empress dowager's supervision of the emperor became more and more strict during this period.

Emperor Wen Hui took a look at Shen Changming: "The regent has devoted himself to state affairs. I deeply regret it. It is really sad for the country to lose this pillar. I have decreed to open the emperor's mausoleum, and he will be buried in three days. He will be buried with countless gold and silver treasures. Give ten thousand taels of gold to the Prince Regent's mansion, and one thousand acres of fertile land."

Shen Xi thought to himself, didn't Xiao Che earn the royal family's money for you?
"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wen Hui took another deep look at Shen Xi before turning around and leaving.

This Shen Xi is worthy of being the number one beauty in the capital, she is charming from head to toe.

A trace of jealousy flashed in Wen's eyes as she looked at Shen Xi.

After the emperor left, Shen Xi straightened her clothes: "I'm not feeling well, I'm going to rest first, and if there's something else, I'll report it later."

"Sister, go slowly."

Wen's etiquette has always been very thoughtful.

Shen Xi took a look at Shen Changming: "Daddy is free now, brother asked me to bring some things for mother."

Shen Changming nodded: "Okay."

Shen Xi didn't care about Wen's, turned around and left, and those officials didn't dare to show their air.

After returning to the bedroom, Shen Xi screened everyone away: "Father, do you know that the prince is now..."

Shen Changming shook his head and remained silent.

Shen Xi understood, and changed the subject: "My lord's body is already starting to stink. In fact, I hope that my lord can be buried as soon as possible."

Shen Changming took over the words: "This matter is indeed a difficult one. If it follows the rules of the Fengyuan Dynasty, it will have to stop for at least three days."

Shen Xi said worriedly: "Now they put ice cubes under it to slow down the decay of the corpse, but it is a corpse..."

"This matter can only depend on God's will." Shen Changming shook his head: "By the way, what dangers did you encounter along the way? I heard that someone robbed food and grass on the way there, and later that wave of people were completely strangled. Are you sure? Injured? In those days, your mother nagged in my ear about this matter every day. At that time, I wanted to write a letter to ask you, but thinking about your journey back and forth, maybe this letter will arrive at some time, and it will not happen in the end. It's over."

Of course, Shen Xi knew that he was talking nonsense. During that time, Xiao Che had correspondence with people in the capital almost every day. How could it be possible that Shen Changming didn't?
"How is your mother?" Shen Xi opened the box: "Brother, he brought a lot of things to his parents, and they are still in the carriage. I have asked Lianyue to send someone to the Prime Minister's house. They are all ordinary snacks, look at them, Dad."

The items that Shen Xi could bring back in person were probably not ordinary things.

Shen Xi handed something wrapped in a small cloth to Shen Changming, and said, "That's all."

Shen Changming casually opened it and took a look, the top pile was really something to eat.

So he didn't doubt too much, just put the things away.

Afterwards, the two chatted about homework, and the peeping man saw that the situation was normal, and after Shen Changming left, he waited and then withdrew.

Back in the palace, the man explained the conversation between the two to the queen mother in detail, and he almost wrote down every word.

The queen mother was twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and slowly opened her eyes when she heard the words: "Are you sure there is nothing unusual in that package?"

The man hesitated for a moment: "The subordinates only saw that there were snacks piled on top."

There was a flash of sharpness in the Queen Mother's eyes: "It's best to go and have a look again to make sure that there is nothing left."

"Yes."

Then the Empress Dowager changed the subject: "Is the Emperor going to the Prince Regent's Palace today?"

The man didn't dare to hide: "Yes."

The queen mother slapped the chair with her well-maintained hands, and said angrily: "It's ridiculous! He is really getting bolder! He knows that there are many dangers outside, but he dares to run there! He has done everything today! what?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, he went to the regent's mourning hall."

After all, this person is the empress dowager's confidant, no matter what he says, it is all about the details.

When the Empress Dowager heard that the emperor wanted to belittle Shen Xi, she was furious: "Now that Shen Xi is married and a woman, and he is clearly going to oppose my royal family, how dare he still think about Shen Xi! If it weren't for my palace With only his son, he would have been destroyed a long time ago!"

Saying this can be said to be outrageous...
