"In this case, then Concubine Ying has evil thoughts to harm the emperor's heirs, frame the concubines, be vicious and domineering, dethrone the concubine, expel her from the palace, and go to guard the imperial mausoleum with the concubines."

Xiao Junhe said in a deep voice, but he also gave the Liu family face, after all, Liu Yingying was not made to suffer.

But Liu Yingying has a pampered habit, so how can she go to the imperial mausoleum to suffer? If she goes there, her life will be over, and she will die in the imperial mausoleum until she dies.

"The Queen Mother... Aunt, aunt, please, please, please, please, please, please." Liu Yingying knelt down in panic, begging the Queen Mother to help her.

But the Queen Mother felt that the punishment was neither severe nor light, and the emperor was able to handle it well.

"That's enough!" The Queen Mother had a headache and didn't want to hear this ignorant fool yell anymore.

"Send her to the imperial mausoleum as soon as possible to pray for the Qin Kingdom, pray for the prince, and redeem her past deeds." The Queen Mother also wanted to save Liu Yingying's life.

"Concubine Ying, I had no grudges with you in the past, but I didn't expect you to harm me like this." Shen Ning entered the inner palace, her eyes red. "Your Majesty, the imperial mausoleum is poor, and Concubine Ying is used to being pampered... I heard there The conditions are difficult, is the punishment a bit too harsh?"

Liu Yingying has a weakness. This woman loves beauty very much. How can she love beauty after going to the imperial mausoleum?

"I heard that there is no water source above the imperial mausoleum. To drink water, you have to go to the mountain to fetch it yourself. It is even more difficult to wash up. I am afraid... you will suffer."

As soon as Shen Ning said this, the concubines next to her began to murmur.

"Concubine Ying loves beauty the most. I heard that she has to use mountain spring water to bathe. This is good. After going there, she can only bathe in the wilderness and mountains."

"Who asked her to plot against the emperor's heir?"

"You deserve it."

Seeing that Liu Yingying was demoted, the concubines who were in favor of others began to take sides one by one. "Yes, did Concubine Nian provoke her?"

When the young concubine is favored, these people naturally rush to fawn over her.

Shen Ning glanced at Liu Yingying, and her face was naturally pale.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't do this to me. I'm the niece of the general. You can't do this to me." Liu Yingying panicked and spoke fluently.

"Your Majesty, you will regret doing this to me, you will definitely regret it..."

The Queen Mother's eyes darkened and she motioned to the nanny beside her to come up.

"Pah!" Mammy gave Liu Yingying a hard slap in the face, you idiot.

The emperor's eyes darkened. "Regret? What regrets do I have? From what you say, the general asked you to do this?"

Liu Yingying collapsed on the ground in panic. She was the one who said what she said. If she involves the general at this time...I'm afraid she will be silenced. "No, no, no...Yingying didn't mean that, it's just...I just want to ask for it." Your Majesty spared Yingying, Yingying knew she was wrong."

"If you really know that you are wrong, go to the imperial mausoleum and pray for Qin."

Xiao Junhe's voice was very cold.

Liu Yingying was trembling all over and looked back at the Queen Mother.

Now...she is almost scared out of her wits.

The emperor looked very unhappy and snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty's body and bones are not feeling well. Do your legs still hurt on a rainy day?" The Queen Mother changed the subject and comforted Xiao Junhe.

"Thank you for your mother's concern. I'm used to it." Xiao Junhe's voice was indifferent, clearly showing alienation.

The Queen Mother's face turned black with anger. Liu Yingying was a person who failed to achieve anything but failed.

…

A fish-flavored powder scandal successfully eliminated two of the Liu family's big eye-catchers, and the rest were just small shrimps, not worthy of the emperor's attention.

Something happened to Liu Yingying and Libi, which obviously made Liu Zhensheng very dissatisfied.

On the surface, this emperor seemed to be indifferent to the world, but once he was allowed to sit on the throne, he began to slowly reveal his true colors.

"General... Concubine Ying was stripped of her concubine status and sent to the imperial mausoleum."

Liu Zhensheng was sitting in the inner room and angrily threw the objects at hand out.

This Xiao Junhe!

"General, the Queen Mother...tacitly approved it."

That's right, the Queen Mother is now in charge of the harem. If the Queen Mother didn't acquiesce, how could she let Xiao Junhe punish his people like this.

"Is the Queen Mother making it clear that she wants to be against me?" the general said in a deep voice.

"General..."

Liu Zhensheng was thoughtful. "The Queen Mother is afraid that I will seize the throne and destroy her power."

With a cold snort, Liu Zhensheng dropped the tea cup in his hand on the table.

"It seems that the general must establish another power in the harem." Liu Zhensheng was very dissatisfied with this sister's approach. "I persuaded the young lady to become the queen. No matter what, the power of the harem will fall into the hands of my own family.

"

"But Miss..." Her subordinates were in a dilemma. Liu Wanying was afraid of killing Xiao Junhe and did not dare to enter the palace.

"It's not up to her." Liu Zhensheng said in a deep voice.

His deployment outside the imperial city is still not ready. He only needs Liu Wanying to enter the palace to delay for some time until everything is in place... After getting rid of the child in Shen Ning's belly and killing Xiao Junhe, he can wear the yellow robe and directly ascend the throne.

.

"General...His Royal Highness King Xuan would like to see you."

Outside the palace, his subordinates came to report that Xiao Chengyin was here and wanted to see Liu Zhensheng.

Liu Zhensheng narrowed his eyes, His Highness King Xuan?

Oh, after the death of the late emperor, Xiao Chengyin was very smart and stayed behind closed doors. Now he starts to show his face?

He would choose the right moment. "Let him come in."

…

Royal Palace.

As the days passed, Shen Ning's body became heavier day by day.

During these days, the emperor stayed with his concubine every day and never left.

Earlier, Xiao Junhe would secretly come to hug Shen Ning to sleep at night, but gradually, Shen Ning could no longer see him.

"It's Concubine Nian's birthday in a few days, and Wanchui Palace is very lively."

"Concubine Nian is being favored now, so it's naturally lively. I heard that Your Majesty loves her very much. He drew paper kites with his own hands and asked craftsmen to make thousands of lanterns, just to celebrate Concubine Nian's birthday."

When the palace maids are bored, they gather together to gossip.

Shen Ning sat on the deck chair in the courtyard and listened quietly.

"Miss...I'll shut them up right now." Chuntao couldn't stand Shen Ning being wronged and wanted to stop it.

"No need..." Shen Ning shook her head.

Xiao Junhe dotes on Huo Sinian, which is what he should do.

She is not the kind of person who doesn't understand the general situation, and she shouldn't be fooling around.

"Our mother-in-law is six months pregnant, and His Majesty has never come to see you. Alas..."

After listening to the palace maid's words, Shen Ning leaned on the couch and closed her eyes.

The sun is very good, and Shen Ning wants to bask in it.

Chuntao quickly covered Shen Ning with the quilt, fearing that Shen Ning would catch a cold.

In this harem, everyone looks like the years are peaceful, but in fact... there are storms and undercurrents.

Xiao Junhe personally painted a paper kite for Huo Sinian...

The paper kite is a childhood object, which shows... that the two of them are missing something.

Shen Ning sometimes hated herself for being too smart and always able to guess too many hidden meanings.

Huo Sinian and Xiao Junhe have known each other since they were children, right?

Thinking about it, Huo Sinian was raised in the military camp, and Xiao Junhe was sent to the military camp by the late emperor for training early on. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two... were childhood sweethearts.

"Nowadays, the maids in the Nian Concubine's Palace are very famous. They always bring the best items wherever they go. It is said that they and Your Majesty grew up together in the military camp and show them off everywhere."

Shen Ning slowly opened her eyes, her vision a little blurry.

Sure enough, her guess was correct.

Xiao Junhe and Huo Sinian were childhood sweethearts.

But when did Xiao Junhe start plotting against the throne?

Maybe he didn't suddenly have the idea after marrying her.

If you think about it carefully, during the time when you secretly followed Xiao Junhe to the military camp... the most important lieutenant around Xiao Junhe was a member of the Huo family, and his name seemed to be Huo Qingyu.

As for Xiao Junhe, he was also a disciple of the old general of the Huo family and a junior of Liu Zhensheng.

Suddenly she felt a chill on her back, and Shen Ning began to wonder...if she had fallen into another trap.
