Emperor Shen's charming wife

"Your Majesty, there is still a greater crisis lurking around you. You must be careful." These few words were like a thunderclap in Ning Yao's mind, causing her to instantly feel a strong sense of foreboding. The joy that had originally filled her face disappeared without a trace, replaced by deep worry and uneasiness. This sudden news seemed to cast a heavy and gloomy shadow over this short sweet time, making people feel depressed and suffocated. Ning Yao did not hide the fact that she received the secret letter from Shen Yu, and the two had a secret talk late at night. Shen Yu pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "There are only a handful of people in the court who can use such means." "It is not an ordinary person who can quietly leak your whereabouts to the enemy country and secretly hinder you on your way back to the palace." Ning Yao frowned slightly, knowing that what Shen Yu said was true. "But who is it?" Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. "My uncle, Concubine Shen's father, and the prime minister are the most suspicious." Ning Yao opened her mouth in shock. She had never thought that Shen Yu could make such a quick conclusion. "Uncle, Concubine Shen's father, and the prime minister?" Shen Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Uncle has always been dissatisfied with me, and Concubine Shen's father is ambitious. As for the prime minister, he has always been very close to my uncle." Ning Yao frowned slightly and agreed with Shen Yu's analysis. "But, there is no evidence yet, we must not act rashly." Shen Yu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I understand, so I decided to lure the snake out of its hole." Ning Yao looked at Shen Yu in surprise. She had never expected him to make such a decision. "Lure the snake out of its hole?" Shen Yu nodded and said in a deep voice, "I will pretend to be seriously ill and lure out the mastermind behind the scenes." Ning Yao frowned slightly and said worriedly, "But is this too risky?" Shen Yu smiled slightly and said firmly, "No risk, no gain." Ning Yao nodded slightly, knowing that Shen Yu had made up his mind. "Then what should we do?" Shen Yu smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "I have asked Eunuch Li to secretly contact a palace insider, who will help us collect more evidence." Ning Yao nodded slightly. Eunuch Li acted quickly and quickly contacted a palace insider who was loyal to the royal family through secret channels. "Your Majesty, we have obtained some evidence." Shen Yu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Very good, continue to collect." Eunuch Li took the order and withdrew. Shen Yu decided to take advantage of his "serious illness" and carefully arranged a strategy to lure the snake out of its hole. He deliberately asked the imperial physician to announce to the public that his condition had worsened, so that those with ill intentions would mistakenly think that there was an opportunity. At the same time, he secretly strengthened the alliance with neighboring countries and consolidated the external defense line. "Your Majesty, we have reached an alliance with neighboring countries." Shen Yu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Very good, continue to consolidate." Ning Yao secretly organized an elite team, ready to attack at a critical moment to eliminate the enemies hidden in the dark. "Your Majesty, our elite team is ready." Shen Yu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Very good, stand by at any time." Just when all the plans were going in an orderly manner, Shen Yu accidentally discovered a secret room during a late-night patrol. "Your Majesty, what is hidden in this secret room?" Shen Yu frowned slightly, he opened the door of the secret room and walked in slowly. The secret room was filled with a strong stench, which was disgusting, and Shen Yu couldn't help frowning. "Your Majesty, what is hidden in it?" Shen Yu frowned slightly, he opened the door of the secret room and walked in. The secret room was filled with a stench, which made him frown. Late at night, Ning Yao told Shen Yu the contents of the mysterious secret letter. The faint candlelight flickered in the room, illuminating the solemn faces of the two. Shen Yu's deep eyes flickered with a thoughtful light under the dim candlelight, like a bottomless cold pool. "It seems that there are still hidden enemies around us." Shen Yu whispered, with a hint of worry in his tone, as if this worry was like a thick cloud that could not be dissolved. Ning Yao frowned slightly, staring at Shen Yu closely, her eyes full of concern and inquiry: "Your Majesty, what do you think?" Shen Yu pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "From the current situation, I suspect that it is the imperial concubine and her party who are behind this." Ning Yao was slightly startled, and a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes, like a meteor across the night sky: "Imperial concubine? Does she have such courage?" Shen Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Although the imperial concubine seems weak on weekdays, her ambition and means should not be underestimated. Think about it, all her actions in the palace, which one is not carefully planned?" Ning Yao's heart tightened, and the beautiful but sinister face of the imperial concubine involuntarily emerged in her mind, and a chill surged in her heart, as if being instantly penetrated by the cold winter wind. Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a firm determination in his eyes, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath: "No matter what, we must find out the mastermind as soon as possible and never let them continue to do evil." Ning Yao nodded, with a firm light flashing in her eyes, like the bright stars in the night sky: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to assist you." Shen Yu's mouth corners slightly raised, and a warm light flashed in his eyes, just like the warm sun in spring: "With you by my side, I feel relieved." Eunuch Li also contacted a palace insider who was loyal to the royal family through secret channels. This insider was a senior palace guard who had served in the palace for many years and knew the situation in the palace like the back of his hand. "Don't worry, eunuch, I will definitely do my best to assist your majesty." The insider whispered, with a firm light flashing in his eyes, that light was full of loyalty and determination. Eunuch Li nodded slightly, with a gleam of trust in his eyes: "Then I'll trouble you." The insider smiled slightly, with a firm light in his eyes: "You're too polite, eunuch. This is what I should do." Late at night, Shen Yu carefully patrolled the military camp. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling between the tents, but it failed to dispel the solemnity in his heart. His sharp eyes, like a hawk, vigilantly scanned everything around. Suddenly, a seemingly ordinary tent caught his attention. This tent was no different from other tents in appearance, but Shen Yu, relying on his years of keen intuition, noticed a subtle difference. His brows were tightly furrowed, and an indescribable ominous premonition surged in his heart. Shen Yu gently pushed open the door of the tent, and it was pitch black inside, like a bottomless black hole. He lit the candle in his hand, and the dim candlelight instantly dispelled the darkness and illuminated the entire tent. His eyes were like a scanner, carefully scanning every corner of the tent, and finally fixed on a cabinet in the corner. Shen Yu walked to the cabinet with steady steps, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently opened the cabinet. There was actually a small secret room hidden inside, and an old and decayed smell came to his face. Shen Yu frowned even more tightly, and the ominous premonition became stronger. He stepped into the secret room carefully, and the candlelight in his hand illuminated every inch of the secret room. In the secret room, a pile of letters came into view. Shen Yu picked up a letter casually and started reading. In an instant, his face became extremely solemn. This was actually a letter written to the imperial concubine, which recorded in detail the ironclad evidence of the imperial concubine's secret collusion with the enemy. Shen Yu's eyes swept through the letter word by word, and a raging anger ignited in his heart. He carefully put the letter away and turned to prepare to leave the secret room. At this moment, there was only one firm idea in his mind, that is, to present these evidences to the emperor as soon as possible, so that the emperor would punish the imperial concubine according to law. Just as Shen Yu was about to step out of the secret room, his eyes were suddenly attracted by an object in the corner of the secret room. In the corner, there was a small box. Shen Yu had an ominous premonition again. He slowly walked to the box and gently opened the lid. In the box, there was a crystal clear pearl. Shen Yu's eyes fell on the pearl, and he was instantly filled with shock. He slowly picked up the pearl and looked at it carefully. On the pearl, there was a small word "Yao". Shen Yu's eyes became extremely solemn, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart again. He put the pearl away carefully, then turned around and walked out of the secret room quickly. He had only one thought in his mind, that is to find Ning Yao as soon as possible and tell her this shocking news.
