Chapter 507 Beware of the Loss

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi looked thoughtfully at the window opposite: "What's that smell?"

Sun Yahui recalled it carefully for a moment and really didn't know how to describe it.

"It's like... the smell of rotten meat, a bit smelly and a bit bloody. I can't really put it into words, maybe I'm too sensitive."

Sun Yahui really couldn't help wanting to find someone to talk to. She had stayed there for two days and had hardly slept.

It was better on the first day, the smell was not too strong, but by the second day, it was so smelly that she couldn't stand it.

Shen Jingzhen was not often in the room, so she didn't want to ask Shen Jingyu, so she could only hold her breath and bear it.

Shen Shuyi thought for a moment and said comfortingly, "The tap in the room is burning too strong, and with the charcoal basin, the smell can't get out. I don't think it will smell too good."

Sun Yahui nodded. Although she didn't want to think too much, she still had to suspect Shen Jingyu.

Because she had observed it several times, the smell didn't get stronger when Shen Jingzhen was around, but if Shen Jingyu wasn't around, the smell would get lighter.

This made her doubt Shen Jingyu's previous injury.

She looked carefully and found that her hands were not healed yet. They looked like they were covered with something. They didn't look ugly, but they were not pretty either...

But her face healed very quickly. At first glance, it looked smooth, with only a few shallow scars left.

But after she took off her veil, she felt that although her face was smooth, it did not seem too flat.

Sun Yahui couldn't say much. If she hadn't been choked by the smell, she wouldn't have wanted to discuss these matters.

"If you don't mind, sister, you can move in with me and stay for one more night. I think it will be sunny tomorrow and the road to the palace will be cleared, so we can go home." Shen Shuyi took the initiative.

"This..." Sun Yahui was a little embarrassed. She didn't mean to say this, but she was just feeling very depressed and couldn't help it.

"Sister, why are you so polite? Old Madam Sun has a very good relationship with my grandmother. You and I don't have to be so polite."

Sun Yahui was moved, and felt that she had believed Shen Jingzhen's words before and had a prejudice against Shen Shuyi.

At this moment, Eunuch Li Yun, who was beside Emperor Qianwu, came hurriedly.

"County Lady, His Majesty has ordered you to come to Lihua Palace immediately!"

Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged: Lihua Palace?

"Please make this trip, sir. I'll be there right away." Shen Shuyi called Jinzhu and others, said goodbye to Sun Yahui, and left with Li Yun.

"I think something big must have happened to alarm His Majesty." Shen Shuyi smiled and tested.

Li Yun nodded and said, "Indeed."

"As long as Concubine Li is fine, that's enough." Shen Shuyi spoke again.

Li Yun paused and sighed, "The county lady is really smart."

In one sentence, Shen Shuyi's guess was confirmed.

Li Yun intended to do Shen Shuyi a personal favor. After all, this daughter of the Shangshu Mansion should not be underestimated.

Shen Shuyi winked at Jinzhu, who immediately stuffed a large gold leaf into Li Yun's hands.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "You are still kind-hearted, eunuch. There are many rules in the palace. I think Shuyi has offended Concubine Li in some way. Thank you for your advice."

Seeing that Shen Shuyi was young and intelligent, Li Yun whispered, "Don't worry too much, Lady. The queen is fine. She just had a miscarriage and needs to rest."

Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were deep and it seemed that his guess was correct.

Concubine Li has been favored for many years and has Concubine Rou as her backer. Now she is pregnant with the prince, and even Concubine Jing has to give her some ground. How could she swallow the anger she has received today?

I think even if she was suspicious and wary of Xiao Heyu, she would still have to teach this short-sighted county lord a lesson first.

Oh, is she sure that she doesn't dare to expose the fact that Xiao Heyu and his gang faked the disaster relief officials now?

But she was right. She couldn't make any rash statements about such a big thing without solid evidence.

Otherwise no one can withstand the emperor's wrath.

Soon, Shen Shuyi appeared in Lihua Palace.

"Your servant Shen Shuyi pays homage to Your Majesty and to Concubine Li." After looking at Emperor Qianwu and Concubine Li, Shen Shuyi greeted them respectfully.

Emperor Qianwu looked at Shen Shuyi and said in a low voice: "I heard that the county lady bumped into Lipin today and made Lipin unhappy."

Shen Shuyi looked at Lipin, who was sitting on the bed with a pale face, and said with a smile: "What did you get from that, Madam?"

Lipin wiped her tears and sneered: "The county lady could have said something else to me, but you had to talk about my taboos! I was already worried about my brother getting into trouble, but you insisted on saying that it was a bad omen..."

In front of Emperor Qianwu, Concubine Li had changed her face. Although she was still domineering, her arrogance was much weaker, and she became more seductive and arrogant.

Indeed, compared with those docile and well-behaved women in the palace, she has a different kind of charm.

She looked at Shen Shuyi coldly, determined to regain her face today.

Concubine Rou said not to provoke Shen Shuyi, but Shen Shuyi was a smart person. She didn't believe that Shen Shuyi would dare to bring the matter of the counterfeiting of official silver for disaster relief to His Majesty without solid certainty and evidence.

She couldn't touch Shen Shuyi, but today, she had to deal with her maid first no matter what!

She wanted to see, although Shen Shuyi could protect her for a while, could he protect her for a lifetime?

Lipin seemed to have suffered a great injustice and continued, "Also, I don't know when I lost the power to punish a servant. She broke my Buddhist beads, but I can't even punish her. The county lady is really arrogant!"

Looking at the charming Concubine Li at this moment, Shen Shuyi could only think of one word - arrogant because of being favored.

Emperor Qianwu might not be able to see through her tricks, but he was still willing to pamper her like this. I guess it was a kind of pleasure.

Shen Shuyi was neither anxious nor slow, her almond eyes were clear and sharp: "My Lady, the Buddhist beads are broken, and if you create more karma because of this, you will lose more than you gain."

"Is Princess Changning cursing this palace?"

When Lipin was halfway through her words, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach and her face turned pale.

For a moment, beads of sweat the size of beans fell down.

"My belly... my belly... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me!" Concubine Li was visibly panicking. She covered her belly with one hand and tightly grasped Emperor Qianwu's hand with the other.

This was the child she had conceived with great difficulty after all these years, she would never allow anything to happen to him!

"Hurry, imperial physician!" Emperor Qianwu frowned and spoke sternly.

The imperial physician had just treated Concubine Li and was waiting on the side. He immediately stepped forward and took her pulse again.

"Your Majesty, please be patient..."

After a while, the imperial physician's expression became more serious: "The madam's fetus is unstable, and there are signs of miscarriage..."

Emperor Qianwu said impatiently: "You said this half an hour ago!"

The doctor's face turned pale, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Before, the fetus was just unstable, it was nothing serious. This time... this time..."

Emperor Qianwu understood what he meant. It was obvious that Concubine Li’s so-called stomachache half an hour ago was just an act.

"Blood! The Queen is bleeding!" Dongxue's face turned pale and she screamed in surprise, seeing blood stains on her skirt.
