My Lady is well

Chapter 163 Assassin

died? !

The two men's expressions tensed and Jing Ruzhang's eyes turned cold.

I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye and saw that her thin eyebrows were furrowed and her eyes were lowered, as if she was in deep thought.

He knew that what happened last night was a mystery. After he fell down, he lost consciousness and when he woke up, he was on...her bed.

She was not in her tent last night, and the palace maid who was on night watch died again.

There must be a conspiracy here.

Was she...jealous just now?

Shen Yueyao saw that she was looking at him strangely and felt a little puzzled, so she said in a cold voice.

"Why is Your Majesty looking at me like this?"

He rolled his eyes slightly, put his fist to his mouth, coughed twice, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and asked tentatively.

"You... just stood outside and refused to enter the tent, but... are you feeling jealous?"

Luo Zhong also glanced at her curiously. Maybe he was jealous?

Shen Yueyao gasped, looked at him in shock, and blinked a few times.

Now I don't know whether to say he is narcissistic or shameless?

She smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a question."

"You ask." He said gently.

"If I had slept on this couch with a man, would you enter this tent?"

Luo Zhong's breathing stagnated. Oh my God! He shouldn't be here.

The emperor won’t kill him to silence him, right?

Is this Empress Chen not afraid of death? She even dares to say such treasonous words!

Jing Ruzhang's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, making people feel cold through their bones, and the pressure from all over her body attacked her from all directions.

Shen Yueyao subconsciously took two steps back.

He clenched his hands into fists, veins bulging, his fingertips almost sinking into his palms, his face was as gloomy as if the god of death had descended, his sharp eyes were fixed on her face.

He reached out and grasped her jaw, speaking word by word.

"Say it again!"

Shen Yueyao reached out to pry his hand apart, frowned tightly, and shouted.

“It hurts…it hurts…”

"You know it hurts, yet you still dare to talk nonsense?"

He suppressed his surging anger and slowly pulled his hand back.

Shen Yueyao rubbed her red chin, feeling a little helpless, and quickly changed her words.

"Let's change someone, Concubine Wen Shu. If Concubine Wen Shu and a man were to do something on this couch, would the Emperor still be willing to come in?"

He thought about it and suddenly felt that this woman's words were always annoying and extremely boring!

But he actually felt a little disappointed in his heart. His brows flickered slightly, his eyes were deep, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a cold voice.

"Go and call Jiang Ye over."

Luo Zhong bowed and responded: "Your Majesty, the ministers outside are waiting to see you. Look..."

He then realized that he had slept here until noon. If he were in the palace, the memorials from the censors would probably have flowed to him like a stream.

He lowered his voice and said, "Go out first and tell Jiang Ye to come to my tent."

He turned his head, glared at Shen Yueyao, and said in a calm voice.

"After lunch, you will go to the enclosure with the queen."

Shen Yueyao nodded slightly and said "hmm" coldly.

There was a strange atmosphere between the two of them.

He originally wanted to say a few more words to her, but seeing that she was not interested, he felt upset and turned around and left the tent.

Shen Yueyao frowned, secretly wondering about the cause of death of the little eunuch.

Concubine Jiang wouldn't do such a thing, right?

After all, isn't killing people to silence them tantamount to announcing to the world that there is something fishy about the matter?

Unable to sort out the thoughts for a moment, she decided not to think about it for the time being.

As soon as the emperor walked out of the tent, Shen Yueyao followed him to the queen's tent to eat.

Li Ning shook her head and said, "I remember that you are not a person who likes to join in the fun. You are pregnant, what on earth are you doing here? Those concubines with some ulterior motives have all come out with them. It would be safer for you to stay in the palace."

Shen Yueyao said carelessly.

"You haven't seen Chunsou before? Come out and see it for yourself."

Li Ning looked at her with a puzzled look, but Shen Yueyao ignored him and just lowered her head to eat.

Shen Yueyao looked at the movements outside the tent from time to time. When she saw a group of people passing by the queen's tent, she felt like making a move, but she tried her best not to show any impetuousness on her face and spoke in a calm tone.

"My lady, how about... we go too."

Li Ning thought she seemed a little abnormal, but did not refuse. She got up and went to the paddock with her.

A lot of people had gathered around the paddock at this time. The civil and military officials had taken off their official uniforms and put on light riding clothes.

Shen Yueyao watched the guards around her change shifts, and found that there were more people than before. It was probably because the emperor would go hunting in person at this time, so more people were sent.

She looked around the room and saw Jing Ruzhan, dressed in exquisite frosty riding clothes, coming out of the tent with a crowd of people following him. He glanced at her from a distance and then jumped on his horse.

The palace maids set up a table at the entrance. When Shen Yueyao walked over slowly, many concubines were already sitting there.

Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wen were also there. They exchanged glances with each other for a while, and when they saw the queen coming, they all stood up and saluted.

"Concubine, please see the Queen."

"No need to be polite." Li Ning said coldly, and slowly walked over to sit in the main seat.

Concubine Wen Shu looked at Shen Yueyao with a hint of amusement in her eyes and said with a smile.

"I heard that Sister Shen stayed at Concubine Meng's place last night."

Shen Yueyao glanced at her indifferently, not wanting to talk to her. She just hummed in response, her eyes looking at the paddock in front of her, her brows slightly furrowed.

"But the emperor stayed in Sister Shen's tent, this..."

The expressions of the surrounding concubines became subtle, their eyes were all looking at Concubine Shen Chen, and occasional whispers reached her ears.

Only then did she come back to her senses and look at her, feeling strange. Concubine Wen Shu has always been tactful in her actions, so why was she so provocative today?

She glanced at Concubine Jiang beside her, who was staring at her with an expression as if she was watching a show.

Seeing that these two people had bad intentions in their eyes, she smiled faintly.

"Sister Shufei is well-informed and intelligent, so she can naturally figure out the reason."

She turned her gaze back to the paddock, and saw the gentleman in frost clothes in the lead, whipping his horse and leading everyone into the woods.

She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she could only watch.

She glanced at Concubine Wen Shu unhappily, not wanting to put on airs with her, so she just dealt with it.

"If Concubine Shu has too much free time, she can embroider more flowers. The crabapple on the sachet is embroidered very well and is pleasing to the eye."

Her words were clearly a compliment to her embroidery skills, but Concubine Wen Shu felt uncomfortable listening to them.

Shen Yueyao ignored her and walked to sit next to Concubine Meng. The palace servant poured tea for her. When she looked up, she found that the person sitting on her right was Concubine Li.

Shen Yueyao looked at her a few times. It seemed that this person's presence was always low.

Meng Jieyu chatted with her in a random manner, and talked about Ma Diao every three sentences.

"Sister Shen, where did you learn this trick? It's amazing. Can I become your disciple?"

"..."

While the two were talking, Shen Yueyao suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing, and suddenly someone shouted loudly.

"There are assassins!"

Everyone present was startled and stood up one after another, their faces filled with panic. Li Ning said in a deep voice.

"Don't panic."
