In the side hall of Yanfu Palace.
Concubine Shen felt great panic and regret in her heart.
She actually told everything she knew without first seeking the emperor's decree to pardon her.
She had always known that the emperor was wise and decisive, so she had never dared to show off her schemes in front of the emperor for fear of exposing her flaws.
The previous time was in Jinfeng Garden, where she quietly went to inform the emperor.
That time she felt that the emperor's power was different from before.
Although she has been in the emperor's harem for many years, she has also had the opportunity to sleep with him.
Although he was not favored later, there were still opportunities to meet the saint here and there.
The emperor in the harem was a gentle and tolerant man.
In the early days, because the Queen Mother, the Queen and Princess Mingshou were strong, the Emperor often compromised, gave in, and even appeared to be very cowardly.
After the Queen passed away, Concubine Shu took charge of palace affairs.
At that time, Concubine Shu often acted arbitrarily, and the emperor was very tolerant of her.
But Concubine Shen knew that the emperor was not that kind of person.
If that were the case, the emperor would not have been under huge pressure to confront the three powerful women, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Princess Mingshou.
He would not have had such resolute means to deal with King De's rebellion, and he would not have had the courage to lead an army in person.
Not to mention being able to calm down and eliminate the restless forces in the government and the opposition step by step.
But Zhi Gui knew that this time she really understood the emperor's wisdom as an emperor.
He is not the gentle and elegant man in the harem, but the other side of him as an emperor.
Wise, ruthless, and the city is unfathomable.
No matter how long she had been planning, she was still far behind the emperor, a world of difference.
When negotiating terms with the emperor face to face, she was no match at all.
The emperor calmly asked her to throw down her armor and defeat her.
"After I heard the news, I originally wanted to check the records in the palace, but because the inner palace supervisor was betrayed in the second year of Yuanchang, many files were lost."
Without the record, Concubine Shen did not check it carefully.
First of all, the people in her hands were cleared several times, and there were not many left.
Secondly, after taking charge of palace affairs from Yong'an Palace, Fang Shanggong and Zhou Xunchen were both very capable.
Concubine Shen tried twice, but failed to succeed.
She even had people follow the clues and pull them out.
She had several eyeliners, so she had to be honest.
After the trump card was revealed, Concubine Shen felt as if her spine had been ripped out, completely losing her mental strength.
In fact, she had no real evidence.
She had silenced her only insider out of fear that the news would be leaked, and now she couldn't find any more evidence to back up what she said.
But there is another person who can be considered an insider.
It is Ma Shang Palace of Shoukang Palace.
At that time, Concubine Shen also thought about whether to silence Ma Shanggong, but later gave up the plan after giving it some thought.
Several people died in the palace in a short period of time, which was too eye-catching.
Ma Shanggong was a sensible person who didn't listen much and didn't talk much.
After Hu Gongren's violent death, she had been hiding in Shoukang Palace.
She would not step out of the palace unless absolutely necessary.
Concubine Shen did not take action immediately, thinking of doing something else.
It won't be too late to do this when the wind calms down after a while.
But as things progressed, she realized that even if she wanted to kill Ma Shanggong, she was powerless.
Due to a combination of circumstances, Ma Shanggong could be regarded as an insider.
Concubine Shen quietly raised her head and looked at the emperor's expression.
But she could see nothing from the emperor's face.

The emperor stood in front of the window, seeming to be looking at the courtyard outside the window intently, as if he didn't care at all about what she said.
The sun shines on the window, and the shadows on the window lattice are like intertwined nets, making it difficult to recognize the emperor's face clearly.
The emperor looked at the grass blades gradually turning yellow in the courtyard outside.
The shadow of the sun is gradually slanting westward, and the scattered afterimages everywhere make people feel desolate.
Concubine Shen spoke stumblingly, mixed with her own guesses, and pieced together an old story that was almost beyond recognition.
It was clear that he had investigated something that he had been worrying about for so many years, but the emperor was extremely calm at this moment.
Perhaps Concubine Shen's account was not completely accurate, or perhaps he instinctively did not believe this woman, and everything she said was completely unreal.
The emperor looked at the quiet and deserted courtyard of Yanfu Palace, but what he remembered was the appearance of Yong'an Palace at this time.
Yong'an Palace is now quite lively and noisy.
The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao have grown up and become more sensible every day.
But the second prince was at an age where he was ignorant.
Every day when he opened his eyes in the morning, he would be tormenting everyone inside and outside.
Even if he closed his eyes at night, the people who served him would not dare to close their eyes.
Coupled with the fact that the third prince was just born and not yet one month old, no other palace in the noisy Yong'an Palace could compare.
But the emperor didn't feel noisy at all.
Any official business that could be taken to Yong'an Palace would not be left in Changning Palace.
The quiet and empty Changning Palace even felt strange to the emperor.
Even the sunlight shining through the window seemed not as warm as the Yongan Palace.
Concubine Shen finally had nothing to say.
She was completely powerless.
She originally spoke while kneeling, but then she couldn't kneel any longer, so she used her hands to support her body.
Now I can't even hold on anymore, and my whole body is like a puddle of mud lying on the ground.
The emperor stood up and walked to the door.
Bai Hongqi, who had been waiting outside the door, quickly opened the door and waited for the emperor to go out.
Concubine Shen said so many words, her whole body was exhausted, as if she had been hollowed out.
Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, she rushed forward to try to retain him.
We can't let the emperor leave like this Concubine Shen knew in her heart that the emperor would never come back once he left, and she would never have a second chance to meet the emperor.
I want to ask Emperor Qian to be more lenient with her.
This is the last and only chance.
She staggered up, but tripped on the edge of her skirt again.
She fell forward and fell heavily.
Her attempt to hold the emperor's hand failed.
The emperor strode out without looking back.
Bai Hongqi quickly followed.
Concubine Shen called out to the emperor from behind.
She stood up with both hands on the ground and wanted to chase her out.
Two eunuchs came from the side, one of them grabbed her arm and pushed her into the side hall.
The half-open door was then slammed hard.
Close.
Concubine Shen rushed forward and shook the door leaf twice.
Even though her whole body was pressed against the door, the strong door leaf did not shake.
The tight door leaf blocked the sunlight from outside, and the hall was dark as if it was night.
The huge panic gave Concubine Shen a burst of strength.
She clung to the door frame, her fingers tore through the cardboard on the door leaf, her head rested on the torn window paper, and shouted out at the top of her lungs: "Your Majesty, please Your Majesty."
Have mercy" The emperor walked faster and faster, and did not slow down until he walked out of Yanfu Palace.

In Yanfu Palace, it seemed that people were trapped heavily and couldn't even breathe.
Standing here, you can still vaguely hear the shouts coming from Yanfu Palace.
Separated by a high palace wall, the sound seems to be coming from another world, and the screams are frightening
