In the palace, there were people from the Shen family, as well as people assigned by Xiao Huayong to Shen Xihe.
Since her wedding, she has been living a peaceful life. No matter how heated the speculation about palace power was in the palace, she turned a deaf ear to it. This was because Xiao Huayong and her father had taken great pains to allow her to go back to attend her brother's wedding. She didn't want this matter to go wrong because of other things, so she never took action.
She moved slightly today just to let people know that she is not someone who can be bullied by everyone, and it is not because there is no one in the palace that she tolerates everything.
When Concubine Rong learned that Shaoyao committed suicide out of fear of punishment as soon as she entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she fainted from anger.
This shows that not only are there Shen Xihe's people in her palace, but there are also Shen Xihe's people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Shen Xihe did this on purpose, deliberately killing the chicken to scare the monkey. She wanted to tell Concubine Rong that she could do whatever she wanted to anyone.
There is no evidence to prove the crime, and the case is handled with swift and decisive action. Even if everyone can see that there is something fishy going on, so what
Regarding the rumors about Shen Xihe, Concubine Rong, who is in charge of the palace, is obviously very indulgent. A deeper investigation will reveal that Fuqiu Palace may not be innocent, and it is not a big deal.
As the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, Shen Xihe was subject to rumors all over the palace. She should have gone to Fuqiu Palace to ask for an explanation, but she only punished a palace maid to calm things down.
In this small contest between the East Palace and the Fuqiu Palace, Shen Xihe was clearly slightly better.
The next day, Shen Xihe went to ask for an audience with Emperor Youning, and it was Concubine Shu who was accompanying Emperor Youning.
"Your Majesty, I have had nightmares recently. I always dream of my father's miserable voice, calling me from a dark place. I want to go to Liangzhou to find my father's whereabouts myself." Shen Xihe requested, "I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission."
Emperor Youning put down his imperial brush, stood up and looked at Shen Xihe. Shen Xihe was made up by Xiao Huayong, and looked particularly haggard and listless. "You and Qilang have only been married for less than a month. As the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, how can you easily leave the palace and leave the capital? I have already sent three groups of people to search for the King of the Northwest. You and Qilang should stay in the palace and wait for news."
"Your Majesty, the three Jiedushi of Hexi, Longyou and Shuofang have more than 10,000 local soldiers. Liangzhou is sandwiched between Tubo and Turkic. If there has been military action for a long time, it may affect the diplomatic relations between the three countries." Shen Xihe bowed deeply, "Please allow me to go to Liangzhou in person. Since I often appear in your dreams, I think it is because of the father-daughter connection. Find my father as soon as possible so that we can appease all the places."
Emperor Youning looked at Shen Xihe in silence.
Shen Xihe maintained a dignified and upright posture while performing a salute.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment before Emperor Youning said, "Let me think about it."
Although she didn't get an accurate reply, Shen Xihe didn't get aggressive. She said rudely: "I hope Your Majesty will do this. I'll take my leave."
Emperor Youning nodded and watched Shen Xihe leave.
"Your Majesty, why don't you help the Crown Princess?" Concubine Shu said with a smile as soon as Shen Xihe left.
Emperor Youning looked sideways at Concubine Shu: "You don't hold grudges."
"I don't bear grudges," Concubine Shu laughed softly, her eyes moving with an undisguised dark light, "No, Your Majesty. I am the most petty-minded. I was hung in the wilderness that day, on the verge of death. The cold wind was like a knife, and every knife pierced my bones, just like a slow slicing. I will never forget this kindness until I die."
