Shen Qingya originally thought that she was a noble concubine after all, not as weak and deceitful as in her previous life. The queen mother asked her to serve her sick, at most she was helping her, just pretending.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Han really asked her to do everything without being polite at all. In addition to boiling the soup and medicine by yourself, you also need to help stir it, test the temperature, wash the medicine utensils, peel a fruit and play a little song from time to time.
Although she came from a bad family background, her father was also an official of the imperial court. Since she was a child, she has never been short of servants. How has she ever worked as a servant
After Zhao Cen learned about it, he thought that the Queen Mother was not good at venting his anger on him, so he tossed Concubine Shen Gui, but went to talk about love several times. But unfortunately, he couldn't beat Xiang Han at all, and he left with a livid face every time.
For the last time, Xiang Han simply asked him how the rumor investigation went. Zhao Cen was speechless, Shen Qingya had been serving the sick in Yongshou Palace, how could she have the time to investigate rumors
Shen Qingya had prepared the result long ago, but everyone knew that she had been in the Empress Dowager's palace all this time, if she came up with the result rashly, Zhao Cen would definitely have doubts, so she could only hold down the plan for the time being.
Zhao Cen had no choice but to go back and summon 001 after Xiang Han borrowed the late emperor again, and said with a headache, "Ji Qing, about the rumors... you should check it out, the imperial concubine has been serving the Empress Dowager recently, so I don't have time to spare."
This matter is actually very easy to investigate. After all, the original plot clearly stated that the rumors were spread and promoted by the heroine secretly. 001 started from the people around the heroine, tracked and investigated one by one, and even asked Xiang Han to help with hypnotic interrogation, and got the evidence in a short time.
After Zhao Cen saw these evidences, he was silent for a long time. Although he didn't have a good impression of the Empress Dowager, and he didn't have much admiration for the late Emperor, but there was always some family affection. Shen Qingya's actions not only slandered the Queen Mother, but also slandered the late Emperor, and even trampled on the face of the royal family, which made him very unacceptable.
It happened that Xiang Han gave Shen Qingya a two-day vacation, so Zhao Cen directly announced the person over, threw down the evidence and asked, "What's going on?"
Shen Qingya was still a little puzzled at first, but after picking up the evidence and testimony, her hands trembled more and more, and her heart became more startled, and finally knelt down on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, this concubine didn't do it on purpose, this concubine just wanted to help you , and heard some gossip, I came up with such a stupid idea. The concubine regretted it a long time ago, but she was too scared to tell you, so it has been delayed until today... "
Seeing Zhao Cen's displeasure, she knew that the other party didn't want to make this matter a big deal. That's right, how can family ugliness be publicized? Before there is real evidence or Li Yanbing returns to the palace, he can no longer make any wrong decisions in this regard.
Shen Qingya coaxed Zhao Cen for two years, knowing how to calm him down. After some pitiful confession and loyalty, Zhao Cen really sighed, and said: "Forget it, remember to abide by the rules in the future, and don't stretch your hands so long. Fortunately, it didn't cause a big mistake, so I won't do it this time." I've demoted your position, go on to Yongshou Palace to serve the sick."
Shen Qingya said 'yes' gratefully, she could hardly stand still after getting up, and was finally supported by the palace servants to leave. But as soon as she returned to her bedroom, she suddenly threw him away and said sharply: "Whoever of you betrayed me, stand up for yourself."
Xiang Han didn't know these things yet, and was leisurely nibbling sunflower seeds, watching Xavier fight wits and bravery with those corrupt officials in the northwest.
After Shen Qingya punished the people around her, she quickly returned to Yongshou Palace to report. Xiang Han was eating melons and watching a play, and almost bit his tongue after hearing the rumor, he frowned and asked, "Why are you back again? I...cough, didn't the Ai family ask her to go back and rest for two days?"
The people below replied carefully: "I don't know, but I heard that the emperor summoned Shen Guifei today, but within half an hour, she was helped out."
"So brave?" Xiang Hangua dropped.
In the image, Xavier was interrogating people. He frowned when he heard this, and waved his hands to let his subordinates take him away, humming: "It's only been less than half an hour."
"No, if that's the case, 001 can't be indifferent." Xiang Han quickly denied it, waved the little eunuch back, and hurriedly asked 009 to contact 001 to ask what happened.
001 was not clear either, so he asked the system 011 bound to Zhao Cen to find out the details.
After hearing this, Xiang Han was speechless, and said, "It's better to lower her position."
"But you want to complete the task." Xavier was very helpless, asking him to say that there is no need for a protagonist like this to help maintain the plot.
"Roy said that the continuous collapse of many world plots will cause the instability of the world group. Last time you caused the collapse of many world plots. Later, Chen Qing resigned from them and caused part of the world group to be damaged. We can't save people. Nothing, but don't add to the chaos."
"... Isn't it just to let the heroine be like the original plot, with her son enthroned as emperor, and then live a happy life? Wait for Aiwen to recover his memory and let him toss about it." Xavier tried his best to blame.
Xiang Han was speechless again, and directly changed the topic, saying, "Hurry up for the trial, come back early after the early trial, I really don't want to see the heroine dangling in front of my eyes."
Xavier: "..." You must have missed me! Hey, just say what you want, and use the heroine as an excuse!
Although Shen Qingya returned to Yongshou Palace that night, Xiang Han did not summon her. After all, you have to pretend to be weak when you see her, and it's not as fun as eating melons and watching a show.
Shen Qingya hated how many brocade handkerchiefs she tore off. From her point of view, 'Ji Xuechuan' and the Queen Mother must have secretly colluded long ago, and what happened today was the two colluding to kill her.
Originally, she still thought that after bringing down the Queen Mother, it might be possible to save her life, linger on, and end the rest of her life. After all, the other party is the Empress Dowager, even if the scandal is exposed, in order to cover up the face of the royal family, the emperor will not execute her, at most she will be imprisoned.
But at this moment, the hatred from the past and the present surged into her heart at the same time, Shen Qingya only wished that the other party would die immediately. Perhaps it was hatred that took over her reason, or maybe she was too confident, she believed that her serial schemes would definitely bring down the Queen Mother, who would be imprisoned soon. Thinking of this, she became more courageous.
While boiling the medicine for the queen mother, she secretly hid some medicine powder between her nails and secretly added it to the medicine soup. The medicinal powder is a chronic poison, and ingesting a small amount has little effect on the human body, and it is difficult to detect. But this poison is extremely difficult to discharge, and it will continue to accumulate in the body, making the body gradually weak.
If the Empress Dowager is imprisoned, it will be difficult for ordinary people to see her again, and it will be even more difficult for ordinary people to attack her. Shen Qingya didn't know when she would have the chance to strike again, she only knew that she didn't want the queen mother to linger on after losing power, not even for a year.
She is very careful, every time after tasting the medicine, she sprinkles the powder into the medicine. She thought she was very careful, but she didn't know that 009 had already seen it clearly through the hologram.
Xiang Han didn't drink medicine in the first place, but when he learned about this, he silently changed watering the flowers to watering the ground without telling Xavier. But Xavier soon found out, and directly punished the Sun family who happened to come to find him unhappy, and then summoned the people in the East Factory to double-sprinkle the powder into the decoction before letting them test the medicine in Shen Qingya.
Shen Qingya didn't know about these, and unintentionally tasted a lot.
Xavier didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he didn't finish dealing with the northwest affairs until a month later, and hurried back to the capital. In the past month, Shen Qingya tried a few sips of medicine every day, and the accumulation made a lot, and she drank quite a few bowls.
As for the Sun's family, because Xiang Han had left the palace half a month ago, the incident of the Empress Dowager Sun's younger brother beating and killing Young Master Cifu did not happen, but the two still had a fight. Empress Dowager Sun's younger brother is fine, only slightly injured, but Mr. Cifu has to lie on the bed for two months.
Xiang Han didn't bother, and sent Brother Sun directly to Fusi Prison in Beizhen. It was useless for anyone to intercede. Beizhen Fusi is an institution of Jinyiwei. Not only the Sun family members are angry, Zhao Cen is also very puzzled.
What made him even more puzzled was that 'Li Yanbing' went to the northwest this time, and he was so ruthless that he dealt with all the moths, including none of the relatives of the Sun family.
Mrs. Sun and Old Mrs. Sun handed out paperwork to the palace every day for half a month, but Xiang Han didn't see him, and only sent a letter to his grandfather who was stationed in the northwest. The letter was brought by Xavier, and the two talked about something. In short, half a month later, the Sun family became honest and stopped handing in paperwork every day.
Zhao Cen couldn't help but ask 001 for analysis. The Queen Mother's party suddenly did practical things and stopped being a monster. He was really a little... not used to it.
001 felt that this was a good time for the two parties to reconcile, so he couldn't help but cautiously persuaded him, to the effect that you were not in charge of the family before, and you don't know how difficult it is to be in charge of the family. The empress dowager was pushed to the forefront at a young age. To live in the court, you can only reuse people who depend on you, such as eunuchs and Sun family members. Eunuchs have no heirs and no military power, so you don't have to worry about them rebelling when you use them, and the Sun family is relatives, so don't worry about using them. But when there are too many people, there will always be moths. There are too many people who are bullying others, and the Empress Dowager has limited energy, so it is impossible to cover everything.
Zhao Cen was silent for a while, and then said: "But what do they say about taking power? Since they have no energy, why don't they delegate power to me?"
001 was busy asking Xiang Han for help online, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, you are just eighteen years old this year, and you have only been on the throne for two years. Before... you haven't learned the strategy of governing the country. The Queen Mother is probably worried."
"Hmph, she already learned the strategy of governing the country?" Zhao Cen was still dissatisfied.
"... probably taught by the first emperor."
Zhao Cen became even more dissatisfied, and said suspiciously: "Xue Chuan, why do you always speak for her recently, could it be that you..."
001 hurriedly said: "I'm just sharing the worries of the emperor. According to what I see, the queen mother is not a person who is obsessed with power. I dare to bet with the emperor that after the queen mother suppresses the Sun family and the court, she will slowly release power."
Zhao Cen felt that the 'Ji Xuechuan' at this time was somewhat similar to before, so he nodded in agreement without thinking.
He felt that he would definitely win. After all, tigers are used to eating meat, so how can there be any reason to switch to a vegetarian diet? However, the reality soon gave him two heavy slaps.
In the morning court the next day, the Empress Dowager did not listen to the government behind the curtain. After the dynasty was over, the Supervisor of Rituals even sent Zhao Cen the papers that had been approved as popular.
Zhao Cen was dumbfounded and could hardly believe it. What he didn't know was that Xiang Han really didn't like things like critiquing papers.
Although most of the time, 009 was approving the papers, but when he was halfway through eating melons, Xiang Han occasionally wanted to use the hand that approved the papers to wipe his mouth with a brocade handkerchief, but that hand was out of his control. Really uncomfortable.
Therefore, it was a great joy for Xiang Han to get rid of all these drudgery. It just so happened that the affairs of the Sun family, the Northwest, and the rumors were settled, and he could finally take a good rest for a while.
