Chapter 596 Gu Jinxiao knew she was injured (for [Rebirth...Basketball])
"With all these identities, will Your Majesty kill me for that bitch, Concubine Xian? Or will you banish me to the cold palace for her?"
"At most, it's just a demotion. As long as my family background is there, I will be able to make a comeback sooner or later!"
"You should all show some courage and don't get scared by such a small matter!"
In the final analysis, the top family background and background are the reasons why Concubine Shu is so fearless!
No matter how bad the situation is, His Majesty values offspring and for the sake of the eldest princess and her future dignity, he will not do anything to her.
Didn't Your Majesty tolerate Xiao Yueying time and time again in the past?
Cuizhu and Xiaohuazi both breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes..."
Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, feeling a little anxious.
In the past, she didn't understand these principles, but after being in the palace for so long, she has understood many things.
What Concubine Shu said makes sense.
Every time His Majesty visits the eldest princess and the third prince, it can be seen that he is an excellent father and loves his children very much.
If it is for the eldest princess, Your Majesty will not let the eldest princess lose her mother at such a young age.
So this time, she and Concubine Xian still can't bring down Concubine Shu?
Do not!
She will never accept her fate until the last moment!
To be on the safe side, Cuizhu suggested, "Madam, can you quietly inform the Queen Mother about this?"
"If His Majesty really finds out about us, perhaps the Queen Mother can come up with a solution in advance."
When doing this, Concubine Shu repeatedly instructed that no one should tell Empress Dowager Liu about this.
Now that the assassination attempt has failed, how can she bring herself to seek protection from Empress Dowager Liu again?
Besides, the truth hasn't been revealed yet, so why would she go and confess in front of her aunt?
Concubine Shu said in a deep voice: "Not yet."
"Perhaps you are just scaring yourself in this matter."
"Remember, the assassination of Concubine Xian has nothing to do with Yongshou Palace!"
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
When Shen Zhinian woke up, it was already the next morning.
The emperor was in the inner room, being helped by palace maids to change his clothes and prepare to attend the morning court.
Hearing the noise, he strode to the bedside, with a hint of worry in his dark eyes: "Nian Nian, are you awake?"
"How do you feel now? Does the wound still hurt?"
This was not the first time that Shen Zhinian had spent the night on the dragon bed. Seeing that he had spent the entire night in the Yangxin Palace, he was not flattered.
She smiled slightly, looked at Nangong Xuanyu and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am much better now."
As she said this, she looked around and asked nervously, "I forgot about it in a hurry yesterday. Your Majesty, where is my Jade Rabbit Lantern?"
The emperor shook his head helplessly: "You almost lost your life, and there is such a long wound on your arm, and you still care about a lantern?"
Shen Zhinian said seriously: "Your Majesty does not understand."
"To others, it is just a lantern of low value. But your majesty won it for me personally. In my heart, it is worth a fortune!"
"So, where did my Jade Rabbit Lantern go?"
The emperor was naturally pleased that the gift he gave was so treasured by the other party.
"Don't worry, Fuqiu took the Jade Rabbit Lantern back to Zhongcui Palace yesterday and put it away safely."
"That's good!"
Shen Zhinian heaved a sigh of relief, the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "That is not only what Your Majesty won for me, but also a souvenir of my first time out of the palace with Your Majesty to celebrate the Lantern Festival. It means a lot to me."
"I will keep it well and treasure it for the rest of my life!"
Nangong Xuanyu gently touched Shen Zhinian's head and said, "I asked the small kitchen to prepare your favorite breakfast. After you finish, go back to Zhongcui Palace and have a good rest."
"I will give you an explanation for what happened last night."
"Okay, I have to go to court now. I'll come see you later."
Shen Zhinian said: "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
Although the breakfast in Zhongcui Palace was exquisite in appearance and tasted excellent, it was still inferior to the emperor’s small kitchen.
Shen Zhinian finished washing and dressing up with the help of Handan, and sat at the dining table to savor the food carefully.
The most important thing is... the longer she stays in the Yangxin Palace, the more uneasy the concubine in the Yongshou Palace will become after the news spreads!
The more flustered a person is, the more likely he is to reveal his flaws.
……
Such a big thing happened last night that even the common people were talking about it, and of course it had spread among the powerful circles as well.
Gu Jinxiao naturally knew about it as well.
Even on the way to court, he heard many of his colleagues gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the matter.
I heard from them that Concubine Xian was injured while saving His Majesty, and the assassin cut a very long wound on her arm.
Gu Jinxiao pursed his thin lips tightly, his eyes were extremely dark, and no one could guess what he was thinking.
Of course, few people really believed the emperor's words to the outside world.
Where did the rebels come from under the emperor's feet?
Even if there was one, why didn't the generals in charge of the capital's defense know about it, and why did Your Majesty have to lead people to capture him in person?
Even if this is true, why did His Majesty bring the Empress Dowager along when he led the imperial guards to capture the rebels?
Your Majesty is clearly fooling them.
He wanted to enjoy the lanterns with Concubine Xian on the night of the Lantern Festival.
But even if they knew the truth, would they dare to speak it out?
Once exposed, Your Majesty would go from being a heroic king who risked his life to capture a rebel to a tyrant who disregarded the safety of himself and the country just to please his concubines.
Don't they want to live anymore?
Even if Duke Dingguo wanted to use this incident to criticize Concubine Xian, he did not dare to openly contradict the emperor in the court.
Therefore, not only was Shen Zhinian not labeled as a concubine who brought disaster to the country, but she also received a lot of praise for "protecting the emperor".
Shen Maoxue looked indifferent on the surface, but in fact his heart was filled with joy!
It's not because the virtuous concubine was praised, but because His Majesty was willing to find such a ridiculous excuse for the virtuous concubine and fool the ministers.
When a man, especially a man at the pinnacle of power, actually considers a woman in some small matters.
Shen Maoxue understood very well what this meant.
The virtuous concubine has truly entered the heart of His Majesty!
The Shen family will take another step forward and prosper in the near future!
Of course, regardless of whether the story of the treason was true or false, it is an indisputable fact that the Weiwu Hall was so bold as to dare to assassinate the emperor and his concubines.
Because of this incident, the underworld forces in the capital and its surrounding areas were frantically suppressed by the court, causing a series of chain reactions.
Except for the men in black who assassinated Shen Zhinian last night, the remaining members of the Weiwu Hall who did not have time to escape were all captured by Zhan Weiran and his troops and thrown into jail.
In fact, the members of the Mighty Hall were also confused.
They just accepted a big order, who could have thought that the target of assassination would be the most favored concubine in the six palaces!
