Chapter 581 Blessing
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything else. If that was the case, many things made sense.
In other words, even if you don't have to figure out all the connections, it is enough to know who will be the final beneficiary.
Now, more than ten years have passed.
Yin Qiling died, Yuan Shulei stayed indoors and ignored worldly affairs, and Xiao Huaijin died in imprisonment.
The final winner seems to be the current most popular Concubine Rou...
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my doubts." Shen Shuyi thanked her sincerely.
Yuan Shulei shook her head and looked at Shen Shuyi: "Lv Qing was skinny and small back then, with a pair of deer eyes. She always followed me and Sister Qi Ling timidly. She was very timid."
Shen Shuyi knew that she still didn't want to believe it, or rather, Xiang Fei would rather believe that Rou Fei became what she is now after years of being immersed in the harem and power, rather than believe that she had ulterior motives from the beginning and had calculated everyone into it...
"Your Majesty, when Concubine Rou was young, she was in a difficult situation in Marquis Zhaowu's Mansion. She has witnessed the horror of power since childhood and suffered greatly from it. Do you think she is really that naive?" Shen Shuyi asked back.
Yuan Shulei was speechless for a long while. She looked at him with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, I will never let her off easily!"
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything more. After all, without evidence, there was no point in saying more.

When Shen Shuyi left Chonghua Palace, she saw that Concubine Rou was waiting outside the palace gate just as she said and had not left.
Behind Concubine Rou were more than twenty servants following in a mighty manner, looking very imposing.
Shen Shuyi stopped and said respectfully, "Greetings, Madam Roufei."
Although Concubine Rou's pair of deer eyes are old, they still give people a feeling of innocence and purity of a child. But at this moment, those eyes staring at Shen Shuyi appear gloomy.
"It seems that the county lady and sister Xiang Fei had a very pleasant conversation, but I still have some things that I need the county lady to answer, so I am afraid I have to invite the county lady to Rouxi Palace for a while."
Concubine Rou had a fake smile on her face, but it was obvious that she had no intention of letting Shen Shuyi leave just like that.
At this moment, the gate of Chonghua Palace opened.
Concubine Xiang, dressed in palace dress, walked out slowly surrounded by the crowd and stood on the stone steps.
"I'm afraid it won't work today. I happened to ask Princess Changning to go out of the palace to deliver some things to a relative. I wonder if my sister can help me?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Concubine Rou turned around and her heart sank even more.
When she saw Concubine Xiang, a look of joy appeared on her face. As soon as she opened her mouth, she became more cheerful and happy, as if she was not the gentle Concubine who ruled the six palaces.
"Sister finally agreed to come out. I haven't seen her for some time. I didn't expect that Princess Changning would have this blessing."
Xiang Fei's eyes fell on Rou Fei, and she smiled, her voice gentle and generous: "I get along well with Chang Ning County Lady, no wonder she is loved by the Empress Dowager, but I do have something to entrust to her today, I wonder if my sister can help me?"
Concubine Rou looked at Concubine Xiang calmly, but she could not see any clues from her face, and she was unpredictable for a moment.
"Sister, why do you have to be so formal with me? How dare I disobey your orders?" Concubine Rou responded affectionately.
Xiang Fei smiled and said, "Song Yi, go and see the county lady off."
"Yes."
Shen Shuyi greeted the two respectfully and said, "I will take my leave."
After that, Concubine Xiang looked at Concubine Rou and said, "Come in and have a seat. We haven't seen each other for a while."
Concubine Rou responded with a smile and glanced at Longdong calmly. Longdong nodded and quietly retreated.

When Shen Shuyi walked to the palace gate, Aunt Songyi stopped and looked at her with more concern.
"County Lady, I can only take you here."
"Thank you for your protection along the way, Shuyi is grateful."
Song Yi looked at the sincerity in Shen Shuyi's eyes and smiled: "I hope that whatever the county lady asks for can be fulfilled."
"Thank you, Mammy. You don't have to send me off."
After saying goodbye to Song Yi, Shen Shuyi turned and walked towards the carriage waiting in front of the palace gate.
Jiuchou came to pick him up personally. He sat in front of the carriage and drove the horse. His tall figure was handsome and upright.
Seeing Shen Shuyi, Jiuchou jumped out of the carriage and helped her up.
Shen Shuyi lowered his voice: "Are you all ready?"
"Don't worry, miss."
Shen Shuyi didn't say anything else. She had been prepared since before entering the palace today. If Concubine Rou failed to get the account book back, she would kill her to silence her.
But I don't know when she will choose to take action.
Songyi stood there and watched for a long time until he saw the carriage disappear completely in the wind and snow.
Sitting in the car, before walking too far, Shen Shuyi lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Light snow is falling from the sky again. I wonder if it will get heavier.
However, it is worth celebrating that the coal that my uncle had stockpiled started to be sold, and the most common coal was only sold for two cents.
People on the street told each other and ran towards the shops carrying baskets and bamboo cages.
"Can I buy charcoal now? Have you heard that the second young master of the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion is supplying charcoal to all shops, and it only costs two cents!"
"I heard about it. Let's go! That's great. We don't have to suffer from the cold at last!"
"Bodhisattva! Living Bodhisattva! With the charcoal fire, my wife will definitely be able to survive this winter!"
For a moment, pedestrians on the street hurried, and people's faces were filled with joy that had not been seen for a long time. The lively scene was comparable to the Chinese New Year.
"Yes, I heard that the adults in the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion have also advised His Majesty that the court will also provide porridge starting in the next two days. Let's go!"
"Let's go buy some carbon!"
Not long after, Shen Shuyi saw long queues forming in front of each shop.
People were looking forward to it, all with joy in their eyes. In addition, the court also sent soldiers to patrol the streets to maintain order.
Shen Shuyi withdrew his thoughts and was in a good mood.
This will not only save the people from danger, but also win the hearts of the people for the Qingyuan Marquisate. However, if Concubine Rou fails in her plan, she will definitely take action again.
Shen Shuyi rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tired because he had been thinking too much recently.
I wonder if the witchcraft case that led to the tragic annihilation of the Qingyuan Marquis family in the previous life has anything to do with this Concubine Rou?
Pang Xinlian is a traitor who is harming the Marquis' Mansion. I don't know when she plans to take action in this life and who is the person behind the scenes?
"Go see Mr. Liancheng." Shen Shuyi thought of the red spider silk spreading to his arm, his eyes cold.
She didn't want to die just like that. Bauhinia flowers were hard to find, so she could only rely on the antidote made from Red Luan flowers and Qilin pearls to hold on for some time.
"Yes."
The wind and snow grew stronger, as if wanting to prove that the Marquis' Mansion had released the charcoal just in time, and there was no intention of stopping at all.
At this moment, Jiuchou looked up at the eaves on one side sharply, threw the reins to his companion beside him, and grabbed the Kanglong Mace at hand with quick movements.
"There's an assassin, be careful!"
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold: Here it comes.
Just as she expected, Concubine Rou wanted to kill her as soon as possible to prevent future troubles!
