Your Majesty, the Empress Runs Again

"Qingxu, you said that the Emperor did not send someone to bring me the two paintings?" At the Qin Phoenix Hall, Shen Xin was surprised to hear Qingxu's report as he gulped down a mouthful of Ice Supple Acid Plum.

"Weren't you alone with the Emperor and me that night?" If it wasn't for Qin Ao, who else would know that he had taken off his clothes that night?

"Miss, it seems like the emperor really doesn't know about painting." Qingxu was also puzzled, last night, she had always been guarding outside the door and no one had entered the room, so anyone would think that the paintings were all made by the emperor to humiliate the young miss.

"What happened to the hairpin I stabbed the emperor with last night?" Shen Xin suddenly thought of something that she had missed. The hairpin that she had worn last night had already been moved into the jewelry box by Qingxu, there was no blood on it, where was the hairpin that had injured Qin Ao?

"Miss, the Emperor didn't take your hairpin with him last night." "Miss, the hairpin Master gave you earlier has disappeared." Only then did Qingxu remember that the hairpin that the young miss had used to injure the emperor was not the same hairpin she wore on her head. Last night, she didn't notice this when she was in a rush. When she checked Shen Xin's jewelry box, she found that there was one missing.

"There was someone here last night." Shen Xin reacted very quickly. The only explanation was that there was someone in the room before she and Qin Ao returned. What was the point of hiding here? It was impossible for him to predict that Qin Ao would be drunk, and it was even more impossible for him to predict that Qin Ao would come to his place.

"Miss, it's all Qingxu's fault." Qingxu blamed herself, she was the one who did not fulfill her duty and allowed the unscrupulous person to enter. Luckily, that person did not harm the Young Miss.

"It's not your fault. Their target is me. The enemy is hidden while I'm in the light. Even if it's not this time, there will still be a next time." Shen Xin was not afraid of unknown dangers, a person's entire life is always in the unknown. What she was curious about was what secrets did she have that caused those people to persevere on her path.

"Qingxu, I'm hungry." Shen Xin pitifully opened his mouth, accompanied by a rumbling sound from his stomach, it instantly shattered the solemn atmosphere.

After eating the snacks Qingxu brought from the imperial kitchen, Shen Xin was bored to death as he started to wander around his own Zither Phoenix Hall. It had already taken him more than half a day to walk through the huge Zither Phoenix Hall, before Shen Xin finally realized how incompetent he was, as the head of one of the palace.

After strolling for an entire afternoon, Shen Xin was also a little tired. As expected, exercise helped in his sleep, after eating dinner, Shen Xin quickly fell asleep. When he slept soundly at night, he woke up very early. When the sky lit up slightly, the spirited Shen Xin sent a palace maid to invite all the sisters from the imperial harem over to drink tea.

"This concubine pays her respects to Empress, the Empress is extremely fortunate." Although all the concubines were unwilling, Shen Xin, the empress, had personally sent people to invite them, so it was not good for them not to come. When they arrived at the Zither Phoenix Hall in twos and threes, they discovered that the Empress, who always arrived late, was already sitting at the head of the hall in high spirits.

"No need to be so polite. My sisters wouldn't blame me for disturbing your peace this early in the morning, right? " Although she asked with her mouth, the concubines could not see through the Empress who was covered with all kinds of refreshments at all. She knew that she had disturbed someone else's awareness.

"How could that be? It's our good fortune to be able to accompany Empress to relieve our boredom. " The first person who spoke up was unexpectedly the Consort Shu of the imperial harem, and Shen Xin couldn't help but take another look at her. In the past, this Consort Shu never spoke to anyone. Even when she had a concubine to talk to, she would always lose the interest to chat with him due to her cold and detached attitude.

"That's good. I've only recruited all of you here today to ensure a certain matter."

"If there's anything the Empress has to say, just say it. Chenqie and the rest are all very willing to help you solve it." The one who spoke up was Zhuang Fei, she looked sarcastic and sarcastic when she was not speaking, but when she smiled, she looked very dignified. Shen Xin felt that when Zhuang Fei talked, she deserved Qin Ao's rewards.

"A thief has entered my palace, so I'm really worried about all of you, so I invited you here." Shen Xin slightly frowned as he looked at his concubines with deep concern.

"Empress, did you lose anything important?"

"That's right, Niangniang. If you lose something important, chenqie thinks it's better to report it to Shang Guan and let them deal with it." As the mother of a nation, the theft in her palace could naturally be considered as a huge matter of the harem.

"That's right, Niangniang, it's better to report it to the superior rooms!" Consort Lin who had not spoken for a long time had a face full of worry. If he did not see the schadenfreude in her eyes, Shen Xin would have believed that she was truly worried for him.

I only lost a hairpin. This was not a big deal. However, that hairpin was given to me by my father." My father has been missing for a long time. I had thought to keep the hairpin as a thought, but I didn't expect that the thief would keep the other valuable things and not steal my worthless hairpin. "I just wanted to remind all of you to be careful of anything valuable or important in the palace.

"Many thanks for esteemed wangfei's warning, chenqie will pay attention."

"Alright, I'm a bit tired. Pay more attention when you return, sisters." Shen Xin looked at the sun outside. This kind of sunny weather was suitable for drinking some soup.

"Chenqie will take her leave." All of the concubines took their leave tactfully after Shen Xin gave the order to expel the guest.

"Qingxu, how is it?" Only after the concubines had left did Shen Xin ask Qingxu, who was standing in the corner. Today, she had specially woken up early to test the reactions of the harem women after hearing that they had been stolen from her palace. Although this action had the effect of alerting a snake to its danger, when people were caught off guard, their emotions were the most real.

"Miss, do you also think that there is something wrong with Consort Shu?" Qingxu stood in the corner and observed the reaction of the concubines. At the same time, she was also able to observe Shen Xin's expression well, and Shen Xin clearly paid more attention to her when he was looking at Consort Shu.

"Mn, the Consort Shu has been acting a bit strangely lately. Be it last night's palace feast or today, her expression is a bit strange. Consort Shu's mother, Li? " Consort Shu's father, Lord Li was a new recruit, so he should be Qin Ao's man. Was the abnormality of Consort Shu related to Qin Ao? The two paintings were not made by Qin Ao, if it was true, then Consort Shu was only doing it because of a woman's jealousy and vanity.

"Miss, Lord Li was personally promoted by the emperor. He really is a person who doesn't feel satisfied swallowing an elephant!" It must be because Lord Li wanted to become the Emperor that he arranged for the Consort Shu to hide in his room and wait for the right time to make a move. " Qingxu's thoughts became even more complicated, the Consort Shu wanted to use the little miss to get rid of the Emperor, and then Lord Li would plan to usurp the throne.

"His brain is just too big, Qingxu." Shen Xin was calculating something else in his heart. If it was really the Consort Shu, then what is she planning to do by hiding in his room?
