Chapter 310 Shen Zhinian guessed who did it
Although there were guards patrolling the harem from time to time, they were not allowed to enter the palace where the concubines lived, and they would stay away from where the concubines were.
No one was bold enough to approach the concubines and talk to them.
After all, they have caused some rumors, and what awaits them is an irreparable end!
Madam Xiao looked at the guard and scolded him, "Where are you working as a guard? What are you doing here?!"
His name is Jiang Sheng, and he is Jiang Wange's cousin. Although he is just an insignificant child of a branch family in the Zhenguo Mansion, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Jiang Sheng is not afraid of Madam Xiao.
"Madam Roupin, I am a new guard. Together with other brothers, I am responsible for patrolling the area from the Imperial Garden to the Qin'an Palace. If you need anything, please let me know."
Jiang Sheng's appearance is outstanding in the whole capital. He has charmed countless young ladies and wives. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by the Duke of Zhenguo to enter the palace and entrusted with important tasks.
Especially when he put on a guard's uniform, he looked even more majestic and handsome.
Many of the young palace maids passing by blushed when they saw such a handsome guard...
This makes Jiang Sheng more confident!
Shen Zhinian suddenly remembered... Zhao Yungui told her that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was selecting some young and handsome guards to send to the palace, but she didn't know what they wanted to do.
She wondered at the time, could it be that they were so bold as to confuse the royal bloodline?
Now it seems... this is directed at her?
The corners of Shen Zhinian's lips twitched violently, and he used great effort to control his emotions.
It turns out that when people are speechless, they really can't help laughing...
In her previous life, she kept a lover because she was in an absolutely high position in the Lu family. No one in the entire Lu family dared to say "no" to her.
Even if Lu Jianglin knew about this, he could only endure it silently.
In that situation, Shen Zhinian can certainly do whatever he wants!
And in this life, she is a palace concubine!
Shen Zhinian's head had not been caught by the door, so how could he be a cuckold in the palace? Wasn't it because he thought the nine clans were not dying fast enough?
Who on earth came up with this idea?
And... putting these things aside, even if she really wanted to find some little gadgets to dazzle her eyes, she had to eat something good. How could she be interested in a man with such a greasy face?
He doesn't even look as good as Nangong Xuanyu.
Receiving Shen Zhinian's eye instructions, Handan scolded: "Since you are new here, you should learn the rules and don't hang around in front of the concubines! If you offend our queen, how many heads do you have to chop off?!"
When he was outside the palace, Jiang Sheng had seen too many women who were harsh to him at first, but later could not help falling for him. Concubine Rou did not look at him straight in the eye, but Jiang Sheng was not discouraged and just looked for another opportunity.
"Miss, you are right. I will take my leave now!"
After Jiang Sheng left, Handan frowned and said, "Why are the guards nowadays becoming less and less disciplined? The queen is still here, and they don't know how to get out of the way."
With people coming and going all around, Shen Zhinian couldn't bring himself to voice out his guess: "There are so many newcomers, there will always be one or two who forget the rules, so let's not make that mistake next time."
What she meant was, there is only one way and no way back, and if you dare to get close to her again next time, don't blame her for following the palace rules!
Moreover, she has been tolerant once, so no matter how she treats the other party next time, people will not think she is making a fuss.
But Shen Zhinian was very curious. Having an affair with a concubine was a serious crime punishable by execution of the entire family! The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion sent its own people. Aren't they afraid of hurting one thousand enemies and eight hundred of their own?
But after thinking about it, Shen Zhinian understood.
The other party's purpose was not to really have anything happen between them, but just to spread some groundless rumors.
A great family like the Zhenguo Mansion, which has hundreds of years of history, would not be affected by some rumors. But these rumors are fatal to the concubines in the harem!
Even if the emperor couldn't punish her for what she heard from others, as long as he had a grudge against her, she would fall out of favor!
After all, there are so many women in the harem, why would the emperor favor someone who makes him unhappy?
The person who planned this incident had such a vicious mind!
Since the guards came from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it goes without saying that this was the work of either Queen Jiang or Jiang Wange.
Queen Jiang was a dying woman, so even if she had to fight a desperate battle, she should have used more ruthless means and involved more people.
So, it is easy to imagine who did this.
There was a flash of coldness in Shen Zhinian's eyes: "Send someone to keep an eye on the guard just now."
When she finds the right opportunity, she will give Concubine Wen a big gift!
"Slave, you obey!"
Seeing that the amount of exercise for today was almost enough, Shen Zhinian placed his hand on the back of Fuqiu's hand and said, "Let's go back."
"Yes."
When she was almost at Zhongcui Palace, she met Concubine Han again.
Seeing Shen Zhinian and his party, Han Guiren immediately smiled brightly and came forward to greet them: "I pay my respects to Concubine Rou, and I wish you good luck and happiness!"
Although Concubine Wen is the most favored one in the harem now, Noble Lady Han has always felt that since Concubine Rou is pregnant with the royal heir, her future life will not be too bad.
Therefore, she should continue to work hard to hold on to this thigh!
After the incident of copying Buddhist scriptures for prayers, Concubine Han would occasionally get close to the Empress, and everyone in Zhongcui Palace became familiar with her.
It’s just… although she has some cleverness, she doesn’t know how to hide herself, and she appears too purposeful, which simply makes people dislike her.
The people in the harem are all like this: you use me today, and I use you tomorrow. Shen Zhinian doesn't mind that others want to use her to get promoted. But the prerequisite is that the other party must have the ability to make her like him!
Just like in the past, she liked Sun Changzai and didn't mind helping her. But why did this Han Guiren ask her to help her?
Shen Zhinian glanced at her and asked slowly, "What's the matter with Concubine Han coming here?"
Concubine Han naturally felt Shen Zhinian's coldness.
These days, she has tried every possible way to show her courtesy to Concubine Rou, but she always seems to be unmoved.
This made Concubine Han discouraged, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart.
She has already been so humble, why can't Concubine Rou accept her as the same way she recruited Concubine Sun?
Being so petty, no wonder His Majesty's heart was seduced by Concubine Wen...
Han Guiren thought this in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She still had a polite smile on her face and said, "I have nothing to do. I just came to pay my respects to Concubine Rou as usual. Is Concubine Rou doing well these two days?"
Shen Zhinian said calmly: "Please excuse my concern. I have my own imperial physician to take care of me."
"I just finished my walk and need to rest. If you are all right, Lady Han, please go back."
