On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

A deep voice stopped the guards.

The gate opened and General Shen came hurriedly.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu immediately put away her ferocious face, frowned, lowered her eyes, and spoke in a much softer voice: "Master, Master, please save me!"

General Shen walked past Aunt Liu and went straight towards Shen Wantang.

"Daddy." Shen Wantang raised his head, but his eyes were unusually calm.

"I heard about your situation in the palace and rushed home immediately. Were you bullied?" General Shen looked his daughter up and down with concern in his heart.

"Don't worry, Daddy. My daughter is fine." Shen Wantang's cold eyes finally warmed up a little.

"Master, please save me!" The sobbing voice of Aunt Liu was heard from the side. Her slightly red eyes stared at General Shen, looking so pitiful.

Shen Wantang just glanced coldly, then cast a look at the guards, and they tied up Aunt Liu and took her away.

"You have been appreciated by the Queen Mother and entered the palace as a concubine. You also have the Queen Mother as your backer in the palace. This is a great thing. Why did Tang'er reject the Queen Mother?"

General Shen sat down and asked.

Listening to General Shen's words, I actually wished I could enter the palace.

Shen Wantang sighed in her heart and lowered her eyes: "Father, my daughter has made up her mind."

"In today's harem, the Imperial Concubine is so arrogant that the Empress can't even raise her head. The Empress is a member of the Empress Dowager's family. She chose me now just to check and balance the Imperial Concubine."

Shen Wantang spoke softly, and General Shen looked slightly stunned.

"If I can defeat the Imperial Concubine, the Queen Mother will choose me as the next Imperial Concubine and then choose someone else to compete with me. If I can't win, no one in the Imperial Palace will know that my daughter is dead."

After hearing these words, General Shen took a deep breath.

"There is such a struggle in the inner palace?"

General Shen frowned and asked.

Shen Wantang smiled helplessly and handed the tea to his father: "There are still fights in the backyard, let alone the royal family."

"If you lose favor and die of old age in the palace, you are lucky. Those who lose their lives are truly a pity."

Having lived two lives and seen the fickleness of human nature, Shen Wantang smiled at himself.

General Shen's dark mood returned, and he felt relieved, but also a little scared.

"Tang'er, you should just stay at home these days and don't take any rumors to heart."

General Shen thought for a moment and said, "After some time, when the people in the capital have forgotten about this matter, Dad will send you to Huzhou. Your uncle is the captain there. Although your aunt has passed away for many years, he is willing to help you because of their past friendship."

This is indeed a good idea. Seeing General Shen frowning, Shen Wantang felt distressed.

This incident happened too quickly and she reacted too quickly. Although she saved herself in a hurry, she still did not consider her family.

Now, because of my own affairs, I am afraid that my father will be impeached in the court.

"Dad, it's my daughter who has implicated you." Shen Wantang let out a long sigh.

General Shen said repeatedly: "Don't say these things, we are a family, there is no need to implicate each other."

"There has been unrest at the Mobei border these days, and the military camp is waiting for Dad."

General Shen sighed and slowly stood up.

After sending General Shen away, Shen Wantang frowned.

Is there unrest in Mobei again?

A few days ago, they said that those minor disturbances had been quelled, but now that the Ministry of War has been alarmed, it doesn't look like a minor disturbance but more like a war.

But if you calculate the time, the battle in Mobei came too quickly...

"Sir, where are you going?"

On the street, Pei Qing followed jogging.

Cen Xiao's face was solemn, but his steps were getting faster and faster.

"I heard that Shen Wantang is going to enter the palace as a concubine. I have some questions to ask her."

Cen Xiao's heart was already in a mess, but he remained calm on the surface.

"No, sir, why is this different from what I heard?"

Pei Qing was confused and rushed forward to block Cen Xiao's way: "I heard that Miss Shen rejected the Queen Mother in public, and the Queen Mother was very angry!"

Cen Xiao suddenly stopped and frowned even tighter: "Really?"

"Really, really, all the families of the officials who attended the palace banquet yesterday said the same thing. I have already found out everything."

Pei Qing nodded repeatedly and raised his head, feeling quite proud.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Xiao's frown relaxed and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised.

"Rejected..."

He muttered words.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed again, and he continued to move towards the Shen Mansion at the speed of wind.

"Sir, you, what are you doing? Why am I not happy when I agree to your request, and I am not happy when I refuse you!"

Pei Qing still hasn't figured out the change in his young master's expression. He sighed helplessly and had to continue following him.

"My young lady is ill and will not see any visitors."

The Shen mansion servant's refusal was like a stick hitting Cen Xiao on the head.

"You were fine at the palace banquet yesterday, why are you sick today?" Cen Xiao asked with a frown.

The servant hesitated and could not make up his lie. After a long time, he could only say: "The young lady is sick after returning today. Sir, you can go back now. If you have anything to say, I will definitely bring it to you."

Seeing the servant's flushed face, Cen Xiao didn't intend to make things difficult for him anymore. He nodded and turned to leave.

The servant then breathed a sigh of relief and closed the back door.

But where he could not see, a figure crossed the wall and disappeared between the rooms in a flash.

knock knock.

There was a sound at the window.

Shen Wantang frowned, tightly grasping the soft sword at his waist, murderous intent slowly rising in his eyes.

"What about people?"

After a long period of silence, Cen Xiao jumped in through the window.

Looking around, he only saw the curtains fluttering in the wind. Looking left and right, he didn't see the person he wanted to see, but his attention was attracted by a piece of calligraphy on the table.

"Recipe, Shining."

Cen Xiao recited in a low voice.

"do not move."

A cold voice sounded in his ears. He looked down and saw a long sword at his throat. If the opponent moved a little, Cen Xiao would be covered in blood on the spot.

Shen Wantang walked forward slowly, and the person he saw was Cen Xiao.

"What's your intention in sneaking into my room?" Shen Wantang concealed the surprise in her eyes but still questioned coldly.

Cen Xiao leaned against the desk, looking nonchalant. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I came to see you."

"Ms. Shen, there are guests here. I'm afraid it's not good for you to treat me like this." Cen Xiao lowered his eyes to look at Jian, and his playful gaze fell on Shen Wantang again.

"Guest? Where is the visiting card? Who brought you to my yard? My Shen family doesn't have a guest as thief-like as you!"
