Shen Mi, you knelt in front of the mourning hall, your eyes slightly narrowed.

She never understood when the poison was put into the soup.

Everyone drank the soup, and grandmother even arranged for someone to serve some to Su Xun, who drank it and was fine.

Could it be that the poison was put in the food box in advance?

But, the food box has always been in Lin’s yard?

And where did the poison in Dongxiang's room come from?

There were so many questions that Shen Mi couldn't figure out.

However, Shen Mi knew that although Old Madam Shen was scheming, she would not poison her own family.

She has always been concerned about the future of the Shen family, and naturally hopes that the Shen family can prosper.

My grandmother already knew that my father’s death was related to Lin, and that the baby in Lin’s belly was not my father’s blood, so she acted so cruelly.

When Lady Zhao, the Duke's wife, saw that something was not right, she immediately gave Duke Lin a look.

She sighed: "What Madam Shen said is true. It was our Duke's Mansion that failed to judge people and harmed the Shen family."

"That girl Dongxiang has been arrested by the government, and we will not let her off easily."

"I'm here to apologize to the Shen family."

"If you want to bring this to your Majesty, we will have nothing to say."

"I just hope that Yue'e and her deceased child can die in peace."

……

At night, there were several maids and nannies in the mourning hall, as well as Shen Feng, Shen Yu, and Shen Shu.

Shen Feng and Shen Yu didn't want to kneel, but Old Madam Shen asked them to kneel because they were afraid that it would get out and cause gossip.

The news of Lin's death soon reached the ears of the Queen and the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that in just three months, two important people in the Shen family died.

Your Majesty is also particularly sorry.

The night was dark, but the lights were still on in Fengyi Palace.

The queen sat upright in the chair, put her hand on her forehead and sighed softly.

The door of the bedroom creaked open and the prince in a golden robe came in.

Seeing the queen sitting on the chair with a sad face, he also slowly sat down at the table.

"Mother, are you looking for my son?"

The queen looked up at her and handed him a letter.

"have a look."

"Lin is gone."

"The same way he died as Marquis Pingyang, how weird."

"I have been planning for so long, but in the end, nothing has been accomplished."

She suddenly thought of the bad fortune she had drawn in the temple.

'Traveling around and encountering numerous dangers, the child will be in trouble with the three officials.'

"If you don't achieve your goal, it will be hard to achieve it. Every step is like climbing a mountain."

Could it be that everything I asked for could not be fulfilled?

Now, is this just the beginning?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and even her body was shaking slightly.

"Impossible, I don't believe it. I just don't believe it."

When the prince saw her like this, he put down the letter in his hand.

"Mother, since the Shen family is no longer useful, they are also abandoned. Why not think about Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and Yongchang Marquis Mansion?"

"They also have an army in their hands."

The queen looked up at the prince and sneered.

"Marquis Ningyuan, I have been planning for you."

"Now, there are only the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and Jiang Xuan."

"I originally wanted Shen Shu to marry the son of the Yongchang Marquis, but you had an affair with her and caused the Yongchang Marquisate to cancel the engagement."

"Your marriage with the second young lady of the Shen family has also been cancelled."

The prince sat on a chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked cold.

"Marquis Yongchang is a straightforward person who only listens to my father."

"It may be difficult to ask him to assist me in the future. At worst, I can ask my father to marry him to his son, Zhang Huaian."

"It's enough if the woman who is granted marriage is one of ours."

"As for the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, although Pingyang Marquis has gone, the person who will inherit the title has not yet been decided. I think it will be Shen Feng and Shen Yu."

The prince's eyes changed slightly and his voice became cold.

"As for Jiang Xuan, we can either start with Shen Mi and Shen Li, or with the things in the East Palace prison."

He said it calmly.

The queen was uneasy.

"I don't know why, but I always feel like something is going to happen."

"You and I have been planning for so long, but nothing has been accomplished."

She picked up the teacup and took a sip nonchalantly.

"You are already old enough, it's time for you to marry a princess."

"Since Shen Mi is so short-sighted, why don't you ask for permission another day and ask your father to marry the Prime Minister's daughter to you."

As soon as the Queen finished speaking, the Prince's brows suddenly darkened.

The prime minister's daughter was not only ordinary in appearance, but also had a very bad temper.

"Mother, let me think about it."

The queen nodded and said, "Jing'er, your mother hopes that you can think clearly about which path you want to take in the future."

"This autumn, there will definitely be some talented and knowledgeable people coming to Beijing to take the exam."

"It would be great if you could select a few promising young talents from the top three in this autumn's exam to work for you."

"As for King Rui, find a way to exploit his weakness."

"Back then, the former queen was his weak spot, but unfortunately she died."

"I heard from my mother that the King Rui was entangled with a woman, but no one knows who this woman is."

The prince frowned and turned to look at the queen in disbelief.

"Who did you hear from, Queen Mother, that Prince Rui has a woman?"

The prince thought of what Shen Mi said at the Shen family that day, referring to Shen Shu.

Could it be that Shen Shu was really hooking up with Prince Rui in private? Otherwise, why would she go to Prince Rui's room for no reason?

But that doesn’t make sense. If they were really hooking up, why would he be kicked out of the room by Murong Che?

Prince Rui and Shen Mi are even more impossible.

The Queen sneered: "It's just my guess."

The prince put down the teacup in his hand.

"If you want to bring down King Rui, I'm afraid you'll need to plan carefully."

……

After Lin was buried, Shen Shu also left the Shen family.

She has now been driven out of the Shen family by Old Madam Shen and has become the prince's concubine.

However, this was exactly what Shen Mi wanted.

If Shen Shu wants to enter the Eastern Palace, she must be pregnant with the prince's blood.

Only after she becomes pregnant with the prince's bloodline, His Majesty and the Queen may be able to allow her to enter the prince's mansion as a concubine.

As for whether she can conceive the prince's bloodline, it is better to use sperm to conceive a child and enter the Eastern Palace.

In the end, she was hated by the prince and died in the East Palace.

In Lan Yue Courtyard, Shen Mi sat in front of the window and took a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.

Her purpose, of course, was to hope that Shen Shu would find another shortcut, get pregnant with a child who was not the prince's, and go to the Eastern Palace.

Then she would know what hell was.

The candlelight beside him flickered slightly, and Shen Mi placed the chess piece on the chessboard.

Yun Lan came in from outside and handed her a letter.

"Miss, this is a letter from Yi Shui."

Shen Mi looked at the letter in Yun Lan's hand, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"The Qionghua Banquet is coming soon. Senior brother, you are back just in time."

The letter was slowly opened, Shen Mi glanced at the contents of the letter, and immediately burned it.

"Brother, you have received the letter and you also know why I asked him to come to Yanjing this time. He should come to Yanjing City in the next few days."

"We will meet with him at that time to discuss the matter of entering the East Palace after the Spring Qionghua Banquet."

"The Crown Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there is also a sharp and suspicious Yun Jue. It is almost impossible to enter the Crown Prince's study or even the Eastern Palace Prison."

"We still have to find a way to get rid of Yun Jue, the leader of the Crown Prince's secret guards. As long as he leaves the East Palace, everything will still have a chance."

She looked at Yun Lan and said, "Tomorrow, you and I will go to Jing'an Hall."

"The network we have laid should be effective."
