Queen's scheming

Chapter 54 Plum Appreciation Banquet ([-])
While waiting for Shen Qingyi to change clothes, Yu He put on the Jinsha Yunxia cloak for Shen Qingyi, and asked hesitantly, "Master, you could have dealt with Shen Jieyu according to Prince Chuyue's wishes today. Why did you let her go and punish her so lightly?"

Shen Qingyi dropped a pair of shiny black pearl earrings, and said with a smile, "Shen Qingwan is the third-rank Jieyu from Dali. Because of this identity, I will keep her today. There are many chances of killing her. , there is no need to be escorted by Dali's royal dignity; besides, do you think today's punishment is very light?"

Yu He nodded and said, "If you punish the slave in this way, according to the slave's wishes, it means that there is no punishment, it's just a matter of face."

"That's right, I want everyone to feel that I deliberately defended her, so I punished her slightly. But for Shen Qingwan, this is not a trivial matter. Do you think that Shen Qingwan is gone from Fengguo's mansion?" She wants to buy people's hearts, what should she do?" Shen Qingyi asked with moist blush on her lips.

"En." Yu He hesitated slightly, Shen Qingwan really had no other choice but to use money, she could have used her identity to threaten others, but now this method is useless, Shen Qingyi broke with her, she Not only did she lose her backing, but she also caused boredom, "Then she may have to go to Min Ronghua for money again."

"Then do you think there are two court ladies beside her, Yumei and Xianglan, which one will she keep?" Shen Qingyi looked at Yuhe with a playful smile and said.

There is Qian Tianhai behind Yumei, and Xianglan looks seventy percent like her own mother-in-law. She really doesn't know how Shen Qingwan will choose.

Seeing that Yuhe remained silent, Shen Qingyi put a string of tourmaline peony collars around her neck, and said with a smile, "She will keep Yumei, because behind Yumei is Qian Tianhai, the emperor's personal servant. Qingwan is not worried about not being able to grasp the emperor's temper and not getting his love. And Xianglan is also reluctant to give up, in order to make Min Ronghua willingly give her money, and let Xianglan be under her nose, Shen Qingwan will transfer Xianglan to Min Ronghua who lives with her in the same palace, so that even if Xianglan is favored, she can get a piece of the pie."

Yu He clapped her hands, and said with a smile, "In this way, Shen Jieyu and Min Ronghua will be tied together, and it will be easier for Min Ronghua to attack!" Yuhe walked around and said excitedly, "With my own It's really funny that I don't even know it when the enemy is all alone."

"Okay, let's go quickly, we are late, the host of this palace will have to complain!" Shen Qingyi said with makeup, and cast a sideways glance at Yuhe.

What Shen Qingyi said was not something else, but that she ordered people to clean out all kinds of paths in the plum garden, surrounding the depths of the plum garden, some of these paths could work, and some of them stopped abruptly. In the labyrinth, from the plum garden, there is only one path leading to the greenhouse. In the greenhouse are two Bingdiyao yellow peonies carefully cultivated by the gardener.

A group of people left the maid and entered the garden alone. Those who can find the greenhouse can move the two priceless peonies back to the mansion. Comfort, and there are palace people waiting there to bring those who have not found the right way back to the banquet.

Everyone thought the game was elegant and interesting, and there were many participants. After everyone changed their clothes, Li Tianyou and Prince Yurui took the lead to find the way to find the two peonies one by one.Shen Qingyi was in a happy mood when she saw that everyone was having fun, and she also took the lilac purple embroidered cloak with light yellow peony embroidered branches from Yuhe, and found a path to hunt for treasure by herself.

Before he had gone far, he heard the overjoyed voice "It's you!"

Shen Qingyi looked back and saw that Gu Yiran was wearing a moon-white gown with embroidered pine and crane patterns embroidered with silver silk, covered with a brown brocade cloak with dark patterns of water and clouds, the faint fragrance of medicine floated with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, who was it?

"Oh, so it's you!" Shen Qingyi said with a smile.The young man in front of me didn't know his identity, and he talked to him twice, and every time he could let himself feel relieved, and only when he talked to him, could he let go of his guard. If he didn't know his identity, he wouldn't have those obvious Secretly framed.

"I just looked for you at the banquet for a long time, but I didn't see you." Gu Yiran blurted out.He searched for her for a long time but didn't see anyone, and once thought that he had guessed wrong.Gu still felt uneasy for a long time. He was afraid that the person in front of him was a married woman, that she had already promised someone, and that she already had a sweetheart.But seeing her now, all Gu Yiran's doubts disappeared, she was alone with no one to accompany her.

Of course, Gu Yiran would not know that Shen Qingyi was alone because Li Tianyou went to accompany Prince Yurui.

Shen Qingyi smiled, "I didn't see you at the banquet just now." Of course I wouldn't see you, only Prince Yurui and two guards were outsiders in the inner hall, Li Tianyou and a few concubines who were beloved , everyone else had banquets in the outer hall, and only Concubine Xue Gui's elder brother Tang Zihan was stationed in the inner hall as a bodyguard.How could Gu Yiran see her?

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked forward silently.

Outside the plum garden maze, a woman asked softly, "Are you all ready?"

"Well, don't worry, he won't be able to escape this time. The snake has been controlled, and it will find him directly by its scent. It won't be noticed, and others will only think it's an accident." Another woman replied proudly.

Gu Yiran looked at the beautiful figure in front of her. Under the reflection of the palace lantern, her back flickered, as if if she was not careful, she would disappear when he turned his head.Gu Yiran clenched his fists vigorously, summoned up his courage, and asked, "Which family are you from?"

Shen Qingyi looked back, before she could think about how to answer this question, she found an extremely thin green snake running towards Gu Yiran's leg like a sword, Shen Qingyi subconsciously kicked it with her foot, in the blink of an eye, Shen Qingyi I just felt a "yo" pain in the back of my instep, and the surrounding scene became blurred. .

Gu Yiran saw Shen Qingyi fluttering to the ground like a beautiful butterfly, he shook Shen Qingyi vigorously, and shouted "Girl, girl..." But the only answer to him was the howling of the cold winter wind.

Gu Yiran didn't care too much, he hurriedly took off Shen Qingyi's shoes and socks, two black tooth marks were clearly printed on a small lotus foot like jade, Gu Yiran sucked it on without thinking, After spitting out a few mouthfuls of black blood, Gu Yiran felt as though all the strength in his body had been drained, and a voice came looking for him. Gu Yiran hurriedly put on Shen Qingyi's shoes and socks, all he wanted was not to ruin her. The girl's Qing Yu, when everything was settled, the voice got closer, and Gu Yiran staggered away. .

"The empress is here, hurry up!"

"The empress has fainted, you should go and inform the emperor immediately, and you will send the imperial physician immediately."

"It's snake venom! How could this happen?"

"The antidote, get the antidote quickly!"

Shen Qingyi was in a daze, feeling as if she was falling into a cloud, and opened her eyes vigorously, but there was only a gap, she couldn't even see who was around her.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted over, Shen Qingyi slowly opened her eyes, and there was a vague figure swaying beside her, she remembered that she saw a very thin green snake, the way the snake opened its mouth reminded her of the red spot Shen Qingyi exclaimed "Ah" with the python's bloody mouth.

"Qing Yi, are you awake?" Li Tianyou looked at Shen Qingyi who was covered in cold sweat in surprise, his eyes were as red as cinnabar, obviously because he stayed up all night.

Before Shen Qingyi woke up from the nightmare, she almost subconsciously pushed Li Tianyou away, "Go away, stay away from this palace!" It was him, he was the one who threw his emperor's son into the poisonous snake den, How could he be so cruel!

Yu He, Yu Lian saw that the situation was not right, she hurried forward to hold Shen Qingyi down, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, that's the Emperor!"

Shen Qingyi struggled vigorously, until seeing Yuhe, Yulian and the two gradually came to their senses, she was reborn, and that kind of thing hadn't happened yet. .

"The concubine is still a bit tired, the emperor should go back first! It's enough to have these palace servants to serve you." Shen Qingyi was silent for a while, and said to Li Tianyou who was full of hope.After waking up from a nightmare, she really didn't know how to face Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou looked at Shen Qingyi suspiciously, her expression just now clearly showed disgust and deep hatred, those eyes, which were as clear as water, turned black as thick as ink the moment she saw him .Seeing Shen Qingyi turning her face away, nestling her slender body deeply in the rich and rich golden-scented purple peony brocade quilt, Li Tianyou inexplicably felt pain like a knife piercing her heart.What's wrong with her? She was standing side by side with him at the banquet yesterday, arguing with Prince Chuyue for him, refusing to give up an inch. Why is she like this today? She was so close yesterday, but today It is necessary to push him thousands of miles away. .

Seeing that Li Tianyou was still standing there in a daze, Yuhe just stared closely at Shen Qingyi whose back was turned to him, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "Your Majesty, your empress may have been overly frightened yesterday, and she hasn't calmed down yet. You also stayed overnight yesterday, and came back early in the morning, and you haven’t had breakfast yet. The servants ordered the small kitchen to prepare some light dishes for you. They are the ones that the empress ordered the servants to say that you like to eat. You should eat some at least, rest for a while, and don't burn yourself out."

Li Tianyou's complexion was slightly pale, Qing Yi even remembered his preferences clearly, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.He nodded slightly, and went to the outer hall.

Li Tianyou looked at the table full of side dishes and a bowl of clear porridge, his face became more and more gloomy as he couldn't taste the taste.wrong!Qing Yi clearly meant to keep herself away from her just now, if that look of disgust is not for herself, then who is it for?Could it be that someone took advantage of last night's maze game to bully Qing Yi?Who is so bold!

"Come out!" Li Tianyou put down the ivory in his hand and said a few words, and a man in black walked over.

"Please order, Your Majesty!" the man in black knelt down and said.

"Go and find out, who chose a road with the empress yesterday, and what happened to that snake? If you find out, report it immediately!" In winter, it's snowing again, how could there be poisonous snakes?Someone must have let it go on purpose, to kill Qing Yi.

Who is it?Could it be Feng Guogong?The last time the string of tourmaline beads was written by Duke Feng, the queen mother just told Shen Qingwan that the string of beads was unique and should be kept for appreciation, and locked it in a brocade box in front of Shen Qingwan.Could it be that Duke Feng knew that the string of Buddhist beads did not reach Shen Qingyi's hands, so he did it directly this time?Li Tianyou's eyes became darker and darker. It seemed that he was going to quicken his pace. The power of the four major kingdoms' government houses was getting more and more out of control!
