The elder sister killed the whole family, and came back to be beaten to death

Chapter 268 Symptoms

After saying this, Shen Tang left without looking back.

Behind her, Shen Xian clutched her stomach in anger, and the frightened maid hurried to help her, "Princess, are you okay? Do you want to call the imperial physician..."

The maid was worried that something might happen to Shen Xi's belly.

Shen Xian was even more frightened.

The baby in her belly is her amulet.

If she lost this child, she wouldn't even know how she died.

She was so angry that her lower abdomen ached. She quickly suppressed her anger, fearing that the true qi would cause miscarriage.

If she hadn't just said something to Shen Tang that couldn't be made public, she would have definitely made a big fuss and alerted the emperor to punish Shen Tang.

The princess talked to Queen Xu for a while, and seeing that it was getting late and time to leave the palace, she sent a palace maid to invite Shen Tang.

When Shen Tang walked out of the pavilion, the princess stood up and said goodbye to Queen Xu.

Just as she was about to leave, a palace maid came running over and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, a little palace maid beside Concubine Ye suddenly had a stomachache, just like Concubine Ye..."

Yesterday, Concubine Ye suddenly had a severe stomachache, so that the emperor could not go to Prince Ning's mansion for the wedding. The imperial physician found out that she was poisoned, but could not find out how she was poisoned. Now a palace maid has appeared with the same symptoms as Concubine Ye. This is a clue. As long as we check what the palace maid and Concubine Ye have eaten or touched, we can follow the clues and find out the person behind the poisoning.

Daimao, the maidservant beside Empress Xu, asked, "Which maid in Concubine Ye's palace is in trouble?"

The palace maid who delivered the message hurriedly replied, "It's Bi Tao."

The Emperor took the matter very seriously when something happened to Concubine Ye. Empress Xu held the Phoenix Seal, and someone in the harem poisoned Concubine Ye. It was Empress Xu's job to find out who was behind it.

Queen Xu had to go and ask about it. She stood up and was about to leave the pavilion. When she passed by Shen Tang, Shen Tang raised his hand to stop Queen Xu.

This action stunned everyone, including the princess.

Stopping the Queen is a crime of great disrespect.

Shen Tang whispered a few words, and Empress Xu's expression changed again and again. She looked at Shen Tang with complicated eyes, and gave a few instructions to Nanny Zhao. Empress Xu, who was originally going to Changchun Palace, went to the Imperial Study instead.

After Queen Xu left, Shen Tang looked at the princess, "Mother..."

The princess said, "Let's leave the palace first."

Xie Guimo was waiting for Shen Tang and the princess on the road they had to take to leave the palace. He stood under a tree, wearing a brocade robe, with an upright posture and a face without any flaws. He walked into the sunlight and walked towards them.

Even though I'm already used to seeing this face, I still can't help but feel my heart pounding.

When they arrived at the horse racing ground, Xie Guimo helped the princess into the carriage, and then helped Shen Tang up.

The servant dressed as a secret guard drove the carriage out of the palace.

The princess didn't ask what Shen Tang had said to Queen Xu. Shen Tang felt that she shouldn't hide it from the princess. She said, "I recognize the maid named Bi Tao in Concubine Ye's palace. She and a young eunuch in Queen Xu's palace are from the same hometown and have close contacts..."

The princess was shocked. Even Queen Xu might not know about this. How could Tang'er know it so clearly?

Knowing that the princess would be suspicious, Shen Tang could only lie and fool around. "On the day of the Queen's birthday banquet, I accidentally overheard the palace maid named Bitao talking to the young eunuch in Queen Xu's palace. I just heard that something happened to Bitao, and I was a little worried. So I told Queen Xu about it. Will my mother be angry with me?"

The princess sighed, "The harem struggles, the battle for the crown prince, mother really doesn't want you and Mo'er to get involved."

"The Jingyang Palace is already powerful enough. Any further progress will be a disaster rather than a blessing."

This was what the Duke of Zhenguo warned the prince before he went to the border twelve years ago.

Shen Tang said, "My father holds military power and has the ability to influence the battle for the crown prince, but he stays out of it. I'm afraid that when the new emperor ascends the throne, he won't be able to tolerate my father either."

We need you, and we can accommodate you even if you stand on the enemy's side.

When you are no longer needed, you must die even if you are one of our own.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying "To serve the king is like serving a tiger."

The princess knew that Shen Tang's concerns were not unnecessary. Shen Tang said, "Mother, my father and my husband know much more about the affairs of the court than we do. We will just watch what they do."

Embarrassed.

This is not a question of whether she will instigate Xie Guimo.

But she couldn't encourage him at all.

But it is also true that Xie Guimo is the prince of Jingyang and is deeply trusted by the emperor. He is too soft-hearted and will do whatever his partner says. How could the prince and the old prince dare to let him choose the princess on his own? They must be very careful themselves to prevent their partner from blowing their sons silly and causing them to do something treasonous and bring disaster to the whole family.

Xie Guimo is a man of his own ideas and will not be influenced by anyone, so if he wants to marry a girl he likes, the prince and the old prince will naturally be happy to help him.

Shen Tang's cheeks flushed and he stopped talking.

Back at the Jingyang Palace, the princess returned to the Peony Courtyard, while Shen Tang and Xie Guimo returned to the Chenxiang Pavilion.

Shen Tang poured himself some tea. Xie Guimo sat down and pulled Shen Tang into his arms. "On the way back, you looked at your husband several times. Is there anything you dare not ask in front of your mother?"

Shen Tang said, "I'm just a little curious, can I encourage you to do something you don't want to do..."

Xie Guimo raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything you want to do that I'm not willing to do?"

Shen Tang blurted out, "How would I know that?"

After saying this, Shen Tang wanted to throw her mouth away. She said such stupid things. She was afraid that her brain was in the palace. Why did she have such curiosity? She was not the kind of person who would instigate others casually.

Seeing Xie Guimo trying to suppress a smile, Shen Tang pinched his neck and said, "You sleep in the study tonight!"

This was really what she wanted, but he didn't want to do.

But this example is not a good one.

It's not just bad, Shen Tang is simply digging a hole for himself.

Xie Guimo buried his head in her neck and chuckled softly, "That depends on how my wife's pillow talk will persuade me to go to the study."

Shen Tang, "..."

Why did she want him to sleep in the study? It was because he was asking for too much and she couldn't handle it.

If you want him to sleep in the study, you have to persuade him with pillow talk. Then why let him sleep in the study?

Shen Tang got himself into this mess.

Shen Tang was furious. Xie Guimo pinched her nose and asked, "Do you really want your husband to sleep in the study?"

Shen Tang snorted, "What's the point of thinking? You don't listen to me."

Xie Guimo said, "I dare not disobey. Your husband will sleep in the study tonight."

Could this guy be so obedient?

Ok.

It turns out that there isn't.

After dinner, Shen Tang took Ginkgo for a stroll in the garden, read a book for a while, took a hot bath, and then went to bed.

When Xie Guimo came back from the study, Shen Tang had already wrapped himself in the quilt.

Seeing him come back, Shen Tang reminded him, "Aren't you sleeping in the study?"

Xie Guimo picked up Shen Tang by the quilt. Shen Tang struggled, "What are you doing?"

Xie Guimo said, "Sleep in the study tonight."

"I asked you to sleep in the study!" Shen Tang said.

"You have to watch over me, otherwise I'll go back to sleep and break my promise."

"..."
