My Lady is well

Chapter 156 Idea

Li Ning slowly sat down on the stone bench, a solemn look in his eyes.

"Sun Cainu has passed away, and the Cainu surnamed Wei has gone mad."

Shen Yueyao's eyes flickered slightly. She was not unfamiliar with these two people.

Sun Cainu always likes to stand up and fight for the weak. Recalling the first time she stepped into Yingxiu Palace, Wan Cainu deliberately made things difficult for Wei Cainu, and it was Sun Cainu who tried her best to protect her.

However, he doesn't seem to be very smart.

Now seeing the three of them end up like this, an indescribable complex emotion wells up in my heart.

She lowered her head silently, her long eyelashes covering her eyes, and fell into deep thought.

She asked softly after a moment.

"How did he die?"

"It is said that he died of drowning, but I secretly sent people to investigate and found that it was more likely caused by poisoning." Li Ning frowned.

"Poisoned? Have you found out who did it?"

"It's strange that we actually found poison in the room of that crazy Wei Cainv." Li Ning's tone was full of doubt.

Shen Yueyao was shocked after hearing this. She had a deep impression of this Wei Cainv.

It was she who instigated Wan Cainü to steal her own script. It can be seen that she is quite scheming.

How could such a calculating person easily do such a crazy thing?

Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and came to a decisive conclusion.

"Wei Cainu, she would never be so simple."

"Maybe! But at present, this matter still needs further verification." Li Ning nodded in agreement.

Shen Yueyao came back to her senses, raised her eyebrows, and looked at her with a slightly puzzled look.

"The Queen came to see me today. Could it be that she wants to help you solve the case?"

Li Ning frowned and sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"The people in this palace have come up with endless tricks, and I don't know how many lives have been lost in vain. You have always had many tricks up your sleeve. Do you have any good way to prevent such things from happening?"

Shen Yueyao gave a helpless smile. Ever since she came here inexplicably, she had been living like walking on thin ice in this palace. She knew very well that the rules here were far from something she could overturn and change alone.

So she wanted to escape, no matter what.

The temporary peace and stability here was brought by him, all based on his current interest and love for her.

But people's hearts are fickle, and she doesn't want to bet everything on one man for the rest of her life.

She didn't want to go to great lengths to please him; after a while, she would get bored of it.

She whispered thoughtfully, "Thank you, Madam Queen, for looking up to me. How could I have such ability? Besides, I haven't even taken care of my own affairs yet."

Her last words were so soft and thin that they seemed like they could be blown away by a gentle breeze.

As a martial artist, Li Ning's hearing was much sharper than that of ordinary people. This subtle sound was clearly audible to her.

"What's your business?"

Shen Yueyao was slightly stunned. Her affairs were like a tangled mess, so complicated, and her ideas were too dangerous.

It’s hard to say, as his eyes shifted, he changed the subject.

"It's nothing. Your Majesty just said to prevent such things from happening, but it's unlikely. There are many women in the palace, but only one man. Naturally, there will always be people who will fight for him at all costs. It may be for wealth and glory, or for family interests. In short, everyone has their own reasons. If Your Majesty really wants to do something to reduce the occurrence of such phenomena, I do have some ideas. However, it may be a little difficult to implement."

Li Ning smiled gently, looked at her indifferently, picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said slowly.

"I knew you had an idea. Tell me about it."

Shen Yueyao held her chin with her bare hands, her eyes fixed on the flying flowers, and said softly.

"The palace stipulates that maids can leave the palace and marry when they reach the age of 25, but concubines have to stay in the palace for their entire lives. Aren't they even worse than maids? In my opinion, those who are not favored should be sent back when they reach the age. Staying here will only waste their time."

Li Ning lowered his brows, pondered her words carefully, and said hesitantly.

"This... although it sounds reasonable, it is indeed a bit difficult to implement. It is not easy to pass the Queen Mother's test, but... it is not completely impossible."

"This is the time to test you as the queen. Besides, I think the palace is too boring. The concubines are all staying in their own palaces, without any hobbies. All they think about all day is competing for favor. It would be strange if there are no problems after a while."

"hobby?"

Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Isn't it? Don't think that Lady Meng only knows how to play mahjong all day, but apart from this hobby, has she ever caused any trouble?"

"She had a fight with Lady Wei."

"Well... that was an accident. But if the palace could organize some club activities, so that everyone could do things they like and not focus on vying for favor all day long, it would naturally have some effect."

Li Ning thought about it and said, "Could it be... a bit of a waste of time?"

Shen Yueyao was startled, her eyes wandered over her body for a while, and she looked at her with a bit of disbelief.

"Too much fun to lose one's ambition? May I ask, Queen, do the concubines in the palace have anything serious to do?"

"Fight for favor and have children."

Shen Yueyao's breathing stagnated and her long eyelashes blinked rapidly several times.

"So all this time has been wasted? Didn't Your Majesty want the concubines to not compete for your favor?"

Li Ning said: "There is still a queen mother in the palace, this matter may be difficult to handle. Wait for Chunsou to come back and tell me. You have been hard at work these days. There will be no problems on weekdays. I have arranged everything. If..."

Shen Yueyao raised her hand to signal to stop and smiled proudly.

"Stop. Your Majesty, please find someone else for this matter. The Emperor promised me to take me with him."

"……emperor?"

Li Ning wanted to ask what was wrong with him? Didn't he agree to let her stay in the palace to take care of the baby?

However, when she saw the expression on Shen Yueyao's face, she roughly guessed that she must have used some tricks.

……

The day before going to the paddock, Shen Yueyao was particularly excited for some reason.

With his ten fingers intertwined, he paced back and forth in the hall, feeling excited yet a little uneasy.

Dongxue asked Jin'er in a low voice: "Master, what happened?"

Jin'er thought for a moment and said.

"Maybe the master is happy about leaving the palace. Every time she mentions leaving the palace, she acts like this."

Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and asked, "Jin'er, have you packed everything?"

"Master, rest assured. I have taken everything I can."

"…Try to take as little useless stuff as possible with you. When you go out, bring more silver with you."
