Li Chaoyun had just fallen asleep after having breakfast in the early morning.
In a daze, her mind was filled with the words that Shen Zhao and Jiang Chenyue said when they were together. Even though she didn't love Shen Zhao, they were married after all, and these words made her heart ache and she couldn't sleep.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but when I was about to fall asleep, I heard a noise coming from outside.
"Master, the princess is resting, you can't go in."
"The princess has not slept all night, so please talk to me later if you have anything to say."
Then, Shen Zhao's cold voice came, "She didn't sleep all night? She was busy hurting people, didn't she sleep all night?"
As she said this, she pushed aside the maid who was blocking her way and rushed in.
Li Chaoyun opened his eyes and got up from the bed.
After Shen Zhao came in, he stood in front of Li Chaoyun and cursed: "You vicious woman, how dare you do such a cruel thing?"
"That was a human life, and you forced her to death. How could you be so cruel?"
If Su Qingyu was here at this moment, she would definitely sneer at Shen Zhao's words. Human life? Jiang Chenyue's life is life, but wasn't her life in the previous life Su Qingyu's life?
Li Chaoyun looked at Shen Zhao expressionlessly, "If I don't do anything, she won't survive."
Shen Zhao thought she was still trying to shirk responsibility and was guilty, so he scolded her even more vigorously.
"Why can't she survive? Isn't it because you are intolerant that you forced her to death?"
"If you weren't so narrow-minded and vicious, she wouldn't have died."
"Li Chaoyun, Li Chaoyun, are you so intolerant of other women? You want me to stay with you forever, but you act like a woman?"
Li Chaoyun raised his hand angrily and slapped Shen Zhao in the face.
You felt unsatisfied, so he raised his hand and slapped him again.
Shen Zhao was stunned by Li Chaoyun's beating. He raised his hand and wanted to hit back but couldn't bring himself to do it.
After Li Chaoyun slapped her twice, his anger subsided a lot. He said in a low voice, "You should have known that Jiang Chenyue knows martial arts. Have you ever thought about why Concubine Xian sent her to the Shen family?"
Shen Zhao was startled, but he finally regained some of his rationality and said, "You mean, the Concubine Xian is doing this to send someone to monitor Uncle San?"
Li Chaoyun sneered, "What else? And your third uncle who has eight hundred tricks up his sleeve, do you think he knows that Jiang Chenyue is Concubine Xian's man? Does he know that she is good at fighting?
"If he knew, would he be able to tolerate such a person in the Shen family?"
Shen Zhao was stunned again. If Jiang Chenyue didn't know martial arts, it would be fine. She was just a servant. It was difficult for her to get information, let alone pass the news to the palace. Maybe the third uncle could keep her in the Shen family for the sake of the face of the virtuous concubine.
But if Third Uncle knew that Jiang Chenyue was good at martial arts, there was absolutely no way he would keep this person.
Shen Zhao's eyes tightened, "Could it be that what happened between her and me was also part of Uncle San's plan? He wanted to use you to get rid of her?"
Li Chaoyun glanced at him and said, "You are not that stupid yet."
After learning about Jiang Chenyue's martial arts competition last night, she has been thinking about it. Is it really a coincidence? It's too much of a coincidence.
She would rather believe that it was Shen Zhixiu and Su Qingyu who did it, but just didn't leave her any handle or evidence, than to believe it was a coincidence.
But the matter has been settled, and she can only take the blame.
Shen Zhao took a deep breath and clenched his fists, "I'm not done with them."
Li Chaoyun sneered in his heart, but his expression was relieved. He gently advised: "Young Master, you should go back and kneel first. If grandma finds out, she will be even more angry."
"From now on, we should stick together as a couple and not let others take advantage of us like this."
No matter what, at this critical moment, the couple should not make a scene. It would only give others an opportunity to take advantage of them. If you want to achieve great things, you have to endure some things.
Shen Zhao still felt resentment towards Li Chaoyun in his heart. No matter who was behind the plot, it was a fact that Li Chaoyun forced Jiang Chenyue to death.
But Shen Zhao knew that if he had a falling out with Li Chaoyun, his situation with the Crown Prince would be even more awkward. In addition, Li Chaoyun gave him an outlet for his hatred, which gave the two of them a chance to get back to normal.
Shen Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed his unhappiness, and said, "The princess is right. I was not thoughtful enough about this matter. I will discuss things with the princess more often in the future."
In this way, the two of them seemed to be reconciled on the surface. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, only they themselves knew.
Afterwards, Shen Zhao returned to the ancestral hall and continued to kneel. Li Chaoyun was exhausted physically and mentally and fell into a deep sleep.
Just after noon, the maid Danqing called Li Chaoyun out of bed and said that there was news from the palace that the virtuous concubine wanted the princess to come to the palace.
Li Chaoyun slept for two hours and felt much better. He knew that he had to go to the palace this time, and he had to give an explanation to the virtuous concubine no matter what.
Inside Zhaohua Palace, when Li Chaoyun entered, Concubine Xian was sitting on the imperial concubine couch, with no expression that could tell whether she was happy or angry.
Li Chaoyun bowed and Concubine Xian offered him a seat.
For a long while, Concubine Xian didn't say anything.
Li Chaoyun guessed that it was because of Jiang Chenyue, so he took the initiative to speak, "Don't be angry, Madam. If there is a chance in the future, just send someone in."
This sentence was like a stab in the heart of Concubine Xian.
She slapped the armrest of the couch hard, "Later? There's no later? There's no chance anymore."
Li Chaoyun was puzzled, "What do you mean, Madam?"
Concubine Xian glanced at her and said, "After the morning court today, the emperor came directly to Zhaohua Palace and scolded me. He also ordered me not to give beauties to my subjects in the future."
Li Chaoyun exclaimed, "How could this happen? Did the Emperor's uncle know about what happened in the Shen family last night so quickly?"
The virtuous concubine snorted, "You don't know yet? Elder Shen submitted a petition for leave today. He said that the old lady was frightened, and he wants to stay at home to take care of her."
Li Chaoyun said angrily: "The old lady is fine. I think he did it on purpose to complain to the emperor."
The virtuous concubine sneered, "What else? Do you still expect Lord Shen to swallow this? He is not a pushover."
Li Chaoyun explained: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think you know what happened. When have I ever been wronged like this? I was so angry that I just…"
Xianfei raised her hand to interrupt Li Chaoyun and slowed down her tone, "My princess, you should think more carefully about what you say and do in the future. You are still young, so learn more from your mother about how to control your husband."
What Concubine Xian admired most was Princess Yongjia, who had Prince Shan under her thumb.
Li Chaoyun also took note of it carefully, "Thank you for your teachings, Chaoyun will remember it."
The virtuous concubine asked again: "How is the situation in the northern border? The military power of the northern border cannot fall into the hands of an outsider."
"Nothing will go wrong, will it?"
This is exactly the purpose why Concubine Xian called Li Chaoyun here today, in order to give Li Chaoyun a warning so that the Li family can hurry up and do things.
Li Chaoyun immediately assured with a solemn oath, "Don't worry, Madam, there should be good news coming back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid came in to report.
"My lady, I just received news that General Li Yunzhou and Xuanwu Marquis Zhang Pan were trapped in Quanyan Valley by horse thieves. They both fell off the cliff and their bodies were not found."
