Chapter 157
The turmoil in this backyard only happened for a moment, and along with the restless crowd, Shen Qingzi turned back again when she heard the news that an assassin assassinated the imperial concubine and was killed on the spot.Her heart sank, is this the gift Wei Qingyin gave her?Jiang Jin's death didn't touch her at all. She only saw the guards and the crowd, so she didn't go in. It's the best time to stay out of it.After reuniting with Kong Yue, she went back to Shen's house. At this moment, the news of Jiang Jin's death might not reach Shen's house.

The crime of assassinating the imperial concubine is not a small one. Jing Zhaoyin personally dispatched, questioned the guards, and learned what happened. It was a man who was about to rush into the wing where the imperial concubine was staying. die.When I walked up to the corpse and looked at it, my heart skipped a beat. Isn't this Jiang Jin, the second son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry?Something happened just a while ago, and now they are actually assassinating the imperial concubine?Jing Zhaoyin didn't believe it, but what the guards said was also credible, maybe the Jiang family boy became greedy when he saw the beauty of the imperial concubine.At this moment, they can only take the body back to the Yamen first, and inform the Jiang family of the bad news.

Shen Qingyao was very angry when she knew that Shen Qingzi had returned home safe and sound. Where did Shen Qingzi get such good luck?This is to send someone to Jiang's house again, wanting to know why Jiang Jin failed.

The news of Jiang Jin's death did not spread until evening, Jiang Tao had no way to say anything about it, he didn't know why Jiang Jin went to Ciyun Temple, why he wanted to assassinate the imperial concubine.But in order to keep his black hat, when he found out about the matter, he went directly to the palace and knelt at the door of the imperial study to plead guilty.

Emperor Yanxi asked what happened, and knew that Jiang Jin had cheated on Wei Qingyin, and was killed by the guards only after he forced his way in.He was furious. On Wei Qingyin's body, he felt youthful vitality. His heart couldn't help but hang on Wei Qingyin's body. When he learned that Jiang Tao was kneeling outside the imperial study room, he simply ignored him and let him kneel down. with.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu has lost his beloved son. If you are so sincere in apologizing, your Majesty will bypass him!" Wei Qingyin said with a frowning expression on his face, frowning slightly.

"Jiang Tao can't teach his son. If Jiang Jin did such a thing, I would have let him go if I didn't dismiss him. So what if he kneels for a few hours?" Emperor Yanxi said coldly. Seeing that Jiang Hao is guarding the border, Jiang Tao has always been conscientious, this time, it will not just be left alone.

Wei Qingyin had a look of self-blame on her face, she leaned against Emperor Yanxi, and said softly: "I also blame the concubine for being too flustered. If she knew that this is the son of Lord Shangshu, she wouldn't let the guards do this."

Dare to assassinate the imperial concubine, let alone a son of Shangshu, Emperor Yanxi snorted and said: "Qingyin, you don't care about this matter, you are frightened, you should rest more these few days."

Wei Qingyin responded without saying a word, just snuggled up to Emperor Yanxi, which was very lovable.

In the end, Jiang Tao pleaded guilty to Jiang Jin's matter, fined him a year's salary, and finally let it go.After Shen Qingyao found out about this, she was really shocked. At the beginning, she believed that everything was caused by Shen Qingzi, but since the Jiang family didn't pursue it in the end, she couldn't do anything about it. She didn't know that the emperor Why did the imperial concubine and Shen Qingzi suddenly become so close.

Shen Qingzi had gradually heard about Wei Qingyin's status beside Emperor Yanxi, knowing that Wei Qingyin was a favorite of the emperor, she felt very complicated in her heart.This made her feel depressed for several days. She couldn't teach Wei Qingyin as a sister, and she couldn't even accept the relationship between the two.It was because Ji Wuye was looking into what happened back then, and even if she found out, she didn't know what to do.

Fang Zhuoyun came to see her, he knew that Shen Qingzi also went to Ciyun Temple that day, and Fang Zhuoyun was not particularly clear about Jiang Jin and the imperial concubine.However, Shen Qingzi's depression made Fang Zhuoyun a little cautious. He knew that Shen Qingzi was hiding something, but no matter how he asked, Shen Qingzi's answer would be lamenting the impermanence of life and marveling at Jiang Jin's death.

Fang Zhuoyun knew that the relationship between Shen Qingzi and Jiang Jin was not good, but he couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up.Fang's family had a lot of things to do, and he couldn't take care of Shen Qingzi all the time.

Shen Qingzi was invited to the palace again, and Shen Qingzi wanted to avoid it, but this time, it was not the imperial concubine, but the concubine Lan.Because of the Fang family's relationship, Shen Qingzi was not easy to refuse, she wondered why Lan Fei was looking for her, and because of Wei Qingyin's matter, she had been a little absent-minded for a few days.

Concubine Lan was as elegant as orchid as she had seen a few times before, when she saw Shen Qingzi, she said affectionately: "Qingzi is here, come, sit here."

Shen Qingzi said with some fear: "Qingzi, thank you, Concubine Lan."

"You child is still so reserved. Originally, we should be a family at this time, and you should call me aunt." Lan Fei said with a light smile, and ordered the maid beside her to serve tea.

Shen Qingzi's face was a little bit shy, and her expression became more relaxed, before she asked: "Is there something important for Empress Lan Concubine Xuan Qingzi to enter the palace?"

"I can't say anything about it. It's just that I haven't seen you for a few days. Zhuo Yun still keeps talking about you, so I want to see you too." Lan Fei said lightly. , but it made her feel like something was missing.Compared to Zhuo Yun's high spirits and hot eyes when he talked about Shen Qingzi, Shen Qingzi was too calm.

Shen Qingzi smiled a little shyly and said, "Mistress Lao is worried."

"I also know that you and the imperial concubine are very close, and today I also noticed that there are some similarities between you and the imperial concubine, which is really strange." Concubine Lan said seemingly casually.

Shen Qingzi's heart sank, she was too sensitive to notice it at first sight, and other people saw it too much, and sooner or later they would feel that she had a three-point similarity to Wei Qingyin's face. "Qingzi also thinks it's really a coincidence, so it's no wonder that Qingzi is able to catch the eyes of imperial concubines." Shen Qingzi said calmly.

"This must be fate. The imperial concubine is young, and she has received the favor of the sage. I heard that she used to invite you to the palace as a companion, right?"

Presumably the purpose of today is to inquire about the imperial concubine from her!Shen Qingzi nodded and said: "There was a time before, the imperial concubine also wanted to announce Qingzi to enter the palace in recent days, but Qingzi is not feeling well today, so it is difficult to keep the appointment, which disappointed the imperial concubine." Shen Qingzi Zi has a tone of self-blame.

"According to Qingzi, what about the imperial concubine?" Lan Fei asked.

"The imperial concubine is young and lively, and she treats Qingzi very well." Shen Qingzi replied, she couldn't say that Wei Qingyin was bad, and she couldn't say anything.

Seeing Shen Qingzi's appearance, Concubine Lan seemed to have nothing to ask, this imperial concubine is currently the emperor's favorite, even the previous concubine Liu Gui was suppressed.Seeing that Shen Qingzi didn't want to talk more, she started talking about the Fang family's affairs again, just like a daily chat.
