Chapter 65 Don’t Be the Spare Cousin of a Time-Traveling Girl 11
The night is cool as water and the night is silent.
Shen Jiaojiao, wearing a black cloak, quietly came to the temple's meditation room under the cover of night.
"Cousin, is that you?"
He pushed the door open, looked at the tall and slender figure in the darkness and called out tentatively.
When the Shen family goes out to do business, they are most afraid that some important letters and account books will be stolen, so the Shen family has their own set of encrypted words.
The portraits of women that Shen Jiaojiao had sent to Linjiang Marquis' Mansion had poems written on them, which contained the information that she wanted to meet Yun Yi.
Mrs. Shen, as a woman of the Shen family, naturally understood it. Shen Jiaojiao, who came here through time travel, did not understand it. It was Shen's mother who taught her when she was accompanying her to give birth.
"Is there something you want me to do?" Yun Yi turned around and looked, his eyes falling on Shen Jiaojiao through the darkness.
I haven't seen her for over a year, and I've seen a lot of changes in her. The most obvious thing is that her original bright and energetic vigor has completely disappeared, and has been replaced by a lingering air of decadence.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't know whether her choice this time was right or wrong. She closed her eyes to calm herself down and said, "Lu Chengchuan wants to rebel."
Is this a rebellion?
The plot also includes a scene in which the emperor is seriously ill, and lets the crown prince and King Yan supervise the country together, which intensifies the crown prince's sense of crisis.
Seeing that the emperor was seriously ill and his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, he was afraid that the emperor would change the crown prince before his death, so he launched a coup.
At that time, it was the original owner who led the troops to maintain the stability of the imperial city and single-handedly suppressed the soldiers of King Yan.
"Lu Chengchuan has no money and no people now. The position of the crown prince of the Eastern Palace is just an empty title. I know he will fail without a doubt."
Shen Jiaojiao stared at Yun Yi steadily. She couldn't see his expression in the darkness, nor guess what he was thinking. She could only tell herself firmly to keep moving forward.
"If the Eastern Palace is defeated, I, a concubine, will also be implicated. Cousin, can you spare my life for telling me in time?"
Before, she believed that Yun Yi would hate her to the core and want to kill her after his rebirth, so she panicked and couldn't wait to marry into the Eastern Palace to seek shelter.
But over the past year, Yun Yi hadn't done anything to her, and hadn't done anything to her. And the man she chose, Lu Chengchuan, was so unkind to her, and even took his anger out on her because of Jiang Rang's matter, which made her regret it even more.
Now is her last chance. If she does nothing, Lu Chengchuan will be defeated, and death will await them and their son.
"Cousin, I know I have done many wrong things. I have failed your friendship. This time..."
"You don't have to say that." Yun Yi raised his hand to interrupt her.
He is not the original owner, so he does not need Shen Jiaojiao's apology, and naturally he cannot forgive her on behalf of the original owner.
"I can tell His Royal Highness the Flame King about this news for you, but I think he has already guessed it. If you want him to let you and your son go, you must show your sincerity."
Sincerity?
Shen Jiaojiao pursed her lips tightly, with a deep sense of uneasiness in her eyes, "What... do you want me to do?"
Didn't he want her to kill Lu Chengchuan?
She came to ancient society, gave up the lifelong commitment of a couple, and succumbed to the imperial power.
But she has never killed anyone, killing is against the law...
-
This time, Shen Jiaojiao, the Crown Princess, and another concubine came to the temple to pray for the emperor.
After three days of praying, everyone returned to the East Palace.
And on the first day after returning to the East Palace, Lu Chengchuan came to Shen Jiaojiao's yard for the first time.
Ever since the Jiang Rang incident, Lu Chengchuan took his anger out on Shen Jiaojiao. Shen Jiaojiao saw through his cold and mean nature and was unwilling to communicate with him too much.
"This is your first time leaving the palace since entering the East Palace. How do you feel?"
"I left the palace this time to pray for His Majesty. Naturally, I hope His Majesty will recover soon. I don't have the mind to think about anything else."
Shen Jiaojiao's voice was cold and she felt extremely ironic in her heart.
She originally thought that her life in Linjiang Marquis Mansion was restricted, but when she arrived at the Eastern Palace, she realized what a man-eating devil's den was.
What's even more terrifying is that she seemed to have adapted to it. If Lu Chengchuan hadn't been thinking of rebelling, she would never have chosen to leave.
Habit is really a terrible thing.
A hint of darkness flashed across Lu Chengchuan's narrow eyes. "I am deeply moved by Jiaojiao's filial piety towards my father."
Bullshit, why should she be filial to a strange old man? He is not her biological father.
It was just an act. She had been in the palace for less than two years and she had already become the kind of hypocritical person she hated the most.
"Your Highness must be tired. Have a cup of soothing tea and take a rest."
Shen Jiaojiao took the teacup from the palace maid and handed it to Lu Chengchuan.
After the young eunuch tested the poison with a silver needle, Lu Chengchuan drank it with confidence.
-
From the Mid-Autumn Festival until the New Year, the emperor was in poor health, but two days before the New Year, the emperor suddenly felt better and resumed attending court.
Everyone thought that this was the emperor's last burst of vitality, but he managed to pass this year peacefully.
On the third day after the New Year, it was His Majesty’s birthday and a grand banquet was held with all the officials in the court celebrating together.
"Father, your son wishes you good health, and may you have this day every year." King Yan stood up and toasted, "Today's fireworks are specially made for you by your son, to wish you a long life."
There is no one who doesn't want to hear auspicious words, especially when the emperor's health is declining. The emperor looked at King Yan with more and more loving eyes.
There were a few loud bangs, and colorful fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky. Finally, the word "Long Live" appeared in the night sky and lingered for a long time.
The emperor was delighted and gave rewards to King Yan like water.
Flattering means.
Looking at the smug look on King Yan's face, Lu Chengchuan snorted coldly and glanced at the young eunuch behind him.
After receiving Lu Chengchuan's signal, the young eunuch quietly retreated.
'Boom...'
Soon, large fireworks bloomed in the sky again.
"King Yan, is this also what you prepared for me?" The emperor asked with a smile as he looked at the fireworks in the sky.
Unexpectedly, King Yan's face darkened, "This is not what your son prepared."
"Come here, go and see who is setting off the fireworks. What if one goes off accidentally and scares His Majesty?"
King Yan gave the order in a cold voice, and the emperor put away the smile on his face.
But before the guards who went to investigate came back, a young eunuch came crawling in.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened. There are rebels outside."
The sound of fireworks stopped, and everyone in the hall heard the sound of weapons colliding outside.
"Where did the rebels come from? Tell me quickly."
King Yan looked anxious and protected the emperor.
But the emperor's eyes fell on Lu Chengchuan who was standing beside him.
"Prince, it's you."
All the officials in the court were stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Lu Chengchuan.
I saw him sitting behind the table, holding a glass of wine and taking a sip, looking calm as if he didn't hear the noise outside.
