Shen Lihan rushed to the palace where Shen Qingwan resided. The palace maid standing guard outside also knew that the Empress would often come to discuss things with her master. As usual, she wasn't surprised.
"Is your master in the palace now?" she asked a familiar palace maid.
"In reply to the Empress, Master is currently admiring the flowers in the pavilion in the palace." The palace maid respectfully replied with a bow.
Shen Lihan nodded slightly and sent the palace maids to do her own thing. She entered Shen Qingwan's palace and headed straight for the pavilion.
"Ah!" I forgot to tell Consort De that there are other guests in the pavilion. " The palace maid who answered him called out lightly, only to see the Consort De already rushing towards the pavilion, without a trace.
"Stupid!" "However, this is not an important matter. The Empress can see it for herself. If there is something important to talk about, the Empress will naturally think about it so that there can be someone else present. It's no problem." After another palace maid said this, the palace maid finally felt at ease.
On the other side, Shen Qingwan was indeed admiring the flowers in the pavilion, two beautiful women in plain clothes were leisurely sitting, and the other was carrageenan Li Ruotong.
"I presume that sister's visit this time is not only to visit elder sister's palace to admire the flower in the pond, but also to taste the tea in my palace?" Seeing that Li Ruotong did not say anything after coming here for a long time, yet had a face full of worry, Shen Qing Wan could only take the initiative to ask.
"Ai, I won't hide it from sister. Sister has been seeing He Ye Feng for a long time now, and sister is worried that she might not be able to detect any changes in the situation. So, I came to sister to ask and ask about it." Seeing that Shen Qing Wan asked, Li Ruotong did not conceal his worry anymore and told her the truth.
"So, it's about this matter. Sister, don't worry, I haven't found out about any changes, not to mention, Ye Feng is a very reliable man, normally he would not make any mistakes." If we don't report this, it might be good news. " Shen Qing Wan said.
Li Ruotong nodded, "Big sister is right."
The moment Shen Lihan walked into the pavilion, she could see that the two seemed to be happily chatting with each other. When she saw that the other person was Li Ruotong, she subconsciously wanted to leave without batting an eyelid.
On the other side, Shen Qingwan was sitting in the direction that led to her arrival. Her sharp eyes saw that she had turned around and was about to leave, so she called out to her: "Elder sister, you must have something to discuss with your little sister. Why are you leaving without saying anything?"
Shen Qingwan understood that the reason the Consort De came over at this time was to ask her about Liu Xiurong. Li Ruotong had no intention to speak to the Emperor, so there was no harm in listening to it. It was only because she was too lazy to go to her palace to discuss this matter with her that she stopped her.
Shen Lihan could only turn her head and look at Li Ruotong, who was standing opposite of her, with hesitation.
Shen Qingwan understood and explained: "It doesn't matter, Ruo Tong is also one of us, there is no need to hide."
Although she had her doubts, she still believed that the important news would not leak out, and she no longer cared about Li Ruotong's existence as she walked into the pavilion.
"Yo, when did the wind bring us busy Consort De over, hehe …" But just as she sat down and was about to speak, Li Ruotong laughed wickedly and mocked her.
Shen Lihan's face changed, she was about to say something, but Shen Qing Wan raised her hand and stopped her.
Shen Qingwan stared at the restless Li Ruotong, seeing that she was sticking her tongue out to calm down, she turned and apologetically said: "Elder sister, please do not take offense, Ruo Tong does not have any ill intentions, I only love to do mischievous things, I hope elder sister will forgive me."
Although he was angered by Li Ruotong's words, Shen Lihan did not want his relationship with someone from his own faction to be damaged. He forced a smile and said: "Little sister must be joking, for a small matter like this, is fine."
Shen Qing Wan did not want to continue talking about this matter, so she went straight to the point: "Did elder sister come this time for the Honorable Liu?"
"Exactly." Shen Lihan became serious, "Does little sister have any good methods to solve this problem?" She looked worried, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Although the names of the people had yet to be mentioned, the three of them all knew what was going on.
"That's right," Shen Qingwan gently smiled, and told him all the plans she had in her mind, "Honorable Liu is the Prime Minister's daughter, just this point, this matter will not end well. I think my elder sister also understands this point."
The other two nodded, indicating Shen Qingwan to continue speaking.
Shen Qing Wan waved her hand, gesturing for the two to whisper in each other's ear, "Since it's like this, we'll use its proper way to end it. This crime has to be committed by someone, but this candidate still has to be someone from the harem."
When the other two heard this, they were shocked. They also asked in a small voice, "How do I find a scapegoat? Who should I find?"
Shen Qingwan smiled mysteriously and told Shen Lihan her plan in detail.
Shen Lihan was shocked, and the way she looked at her also changed. This Consort Xian was indeed not a simple woman, and this method was indeed the best solution at the moment. However … She stealthily glanced at the confident Shen Qingwan. To be able to think of this plan, she still had not found out whether she was an enemy or not. Hopefully, she wouldn't become an enemy.
However, as he thought of this in his heart, he also understood how to settle down within the harem.
"This is very good, so use your method. If you have matters to attend to, then I shall take my leave first. " Shen Lihan was already anxious about Liu Chugrong's matter. Now that she had a way to resolve it, she heaved a sigh of relief. She had no intention to stay any longer, so she quickly took his leave.
"Since there's a guest here, I won't send you off." Shen Qingwan nodded and watched Consort De leave.
"Elder sister, this Consort De is also involved in this matter?" Seeing that the others were walking further away, Li Ruotong spoke out.
Shen Qingwan smiled but did not reply.
Shen Lihan returned to her own palace, dismissed the palace maids, and started walking around her room alone. There was no need to worry about Liu Chugrong, but Shen Qingwan had no choice but to reevaluate this person.
Thinking back and forth, she could only make herself more agitated. Thinking that this person was temporarily on her side, she forced herself to stop worrying about her and calmed down.
Furthermore, Li Ruotong stayed in her palace until sunset, and the two of them walked out of the pavilion and talked about her room, but it seemed as if they hadn't said anything interesting enough.
Shen Qingwan looked at the color of the sky, and had no choice but to open her mouth to interrupt Li Ruotong who was talking to himself. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it in three days and three nights. It's just that if you don't return to the palace now, I'm afraid your palace will be worried. "
Li Ruotong stopped anyway, stuck out her tongue, and said: "Alright, since big sister chased me away, I can only return to my own palace, and come look for big sister another day."
She lightly patted Li Ruotong's head and scolded him: "Enough, stop talking with me. Hurry back to the palace."
