Chapter 385 Must make him crazy first
But Song Tingshan is Xiao Heyu's man, why did he do this?
Shen Jingyu's mind was a little confused for a moment. These days, Song Tingshan had been in contact with her frequently and trying to show his goodwill to her.
She was not a fool, nor was she unable to understand his thoughts.
Although the Chengguo Mansion is indeed a wealthy and powerful family, Song Tingshan is not a good choice.
Not to mention his poor health, even though he was the prince, he was not loved by his biological father, and he also had a stepmother who was eyeing him covetously. For all these reasons, he could not give her everything she wanted.
So Shen Jingyu never wavered.
However, was Song Tingshan secretly passing the message to her for his own selfish reasons, or was there some other conspiracy, such as Xiao Heyu's instruction?
Shen Jingyu thought about it for a long time, and when she thought about how he had helped her out in the daytime, she gradually began to think that he did it out of friendship for her and also for his own selfish reasons.
After all, what good can a dying man do even if he pursues power?
What's more, Shen Jingyu thought about it carefully. If this was planned by Xiao Heyu and his group, it would not be reasonable for them to use her to turn the tables on Xiao Yuncheng.
After all, she and Xiao Yuncheng had no legitimate relationship at the moment. Even if she testified against Zhou Qiwen, it would not implicate Xiao Yuncheng...
Shen Jingyu tossed and turned all night and hardly slept, but she gradually became certain that Song Tingshan must have revealed the news to her privately.
However, if I report this to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, I wonder if this Prince Song will be implicated.
Presumably, he was under pressure from the Third Prince and did not dare to report the matter.
In this case, I just need to find a name...

When it was daybreak, Emperor Qianwu led his men on an inspection tour as usual.
Many men had returned from hunting early in the morning, and some were practicing martial arts in the temporary training ground built by Emperor Qianwu nearby.
Seeing Emperor Qianwu coming, the group immediately stood up and greeted him: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Qianwu raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, you can continue."
Seeing this, everyone did not delay any further, and the few people who were originally sparring became even more courageous.
The female members of the family were also much more casual. Although it was winter, it was a rare opportunity to go out and play. The usual rules were no longer strict here, and they gathered in groups of three or four to have fun.
Shen Shuyi got up a little late that day, and as the weather was cold, he really didn't feel like moving.
Shen Meiru went in and out several times, but didn't dare to provoke her again.
Shen Qinghuan was much more obedient. He waited for her for half an hour, and when he saw that she still hadn't woken up, he ran out to play.
When Jinzhu was helping her with her makeup, Jianpo came in from outside, with a chill on his body, and whispered, "Miss, Shen Jingyu got up and went in the direction of His Majesty."
Shen Shuyi raised her eyebrows, picked up a flower hairpin and put it in her hair, and said in a deep voice: "I know, where is His Majesty now?"
"In the temporary martial arts field in the east."
Shen Shuyi ate something simple, warmed himself up, and then hurried to join in the fun.
"Miss, put on a cloak." Yuping caught up and put a light blue embroidered cloak on Shen Shuyi, which made the girl look as beautiful as a fairy.
After a cup of tea, Shen Shuyi arrived here.
At this time, there were already quite a few people gathered inside and outside the training ground, and the excitement had already begun.
Emperor Qianwu looked coldly at Shen Jingyu who was kneeling in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You mean, your maid found the same black bugs in the prayer wheel in the tent of the third imperial concubine?"
Shen Jingyu stood straight: "Yes."
"Bring the people up." Emperor Qianwu said in a cold voice.
Shen Jingyu turned to look at Zhiqi, who immediately knelt on the ground and said in a panic, "I am Zhiqi, when I was getting medicine for the young lady last night, I passed by the imperial concubine's tent. Because there was a candlelight at the time, it was particularly obvious. I immediately noticed a dense layer of black bugs crawling on the tent..."
After she finished speaking, Shen Jingyu said again: "Your Majesty, I believe that if we send people to investigate, there will definitely be other witnesses."
Shen Jingyu made quite a noise, and even deliberately chose a crowded place to do it, making it hard to ignore her.
Emperor Qianwu's expression remained unchanged, he just lowered his eyes and stared at her with a deeper gaze: "Zhou Chuang, take people to investigate!"
"Yes."
Seeing that the time was almost right, Shen Jingyu once again shouted, "Your Majesty, please help me! I suspect that the Third Prince's wife was scheming me, please Your Majesty, please understand!"
Upon hearing this, a court official stepped forward and rebuked: "Miss Shen, you should use evidence when speaking! The Third Prince's wife has always been virtuous and virtuous, why did she frame you like this?"
"Yes, the black bugs are rampant, or they were lured by something. How can we prove that it was done by the Third Prince's wife based on these alone?"
"..."
Shen Shuyi watched this scene coldly, with a cold smile on the corner of his lips.
Shen Jingyu was anxious in the end. She was eager to show her loyalty to Concubine Jing and Xiao Yuncheng, and to prove that she was useful.
Unfortunately, she forgot that the person who could ultimately decide her marriage was Emperor Qianwu. As an emperor, he valued the royal family's reputation the most. Neither Emperor Qianwu nor the empress dowager would like these things to be made public.
You sons can fight all you want in private, but if you make it public and make a fool of yourself, then you will be at fault.
This is the hypocrisy and cruelty of those in power.
Emperor Qianwu spoke in a deep voice: "What hatred do you have with the Third Imperial Concubine? Why do you suspect she is plotting against you?"
Shen Jingyu was obviously well prepared, and said in a loud voice: "Half a month ago, there was a rumor in the Jade Buddha Temple that the Shen family would give birth to a 'noble lady'. I don't know why the Third Imperial Concubine thought that this 'noble lady' was me, so she made me kneel outside the courtyard for several hours in the cold winter, and then copied several volumes of books in a lightless warm room..."
At this time, a cold and pleasant voice sounded beside Shen Shuyi: "This Shen Jingyu is really crazy."
Shen Shuyi recognized the person and it was Xie Jingchi.
She didn't turn her head, but just said softly: "She is crazy about power, but her mind is clear."
It would be crazy to expose these royal affairs in public.
But she was aware that she had to take this opportunity to get rid of the title of "noble lady" and at the same time use the rumor of "noble lady" to show Xiao Heyu and Zhou Qiwen's rebellious intentions.
After all, the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty would not care about a few black bugs, but he would care about the disloyalty of his son and ministers, and would care about them eyeing the position under him.
Unfortunately, she is too proud.
She underestimated the emperor's mind and overestimated her own abilities.
Xie Jingchi said darkly: "If you want to destroy it, you must first make it crazy."
Shen Shuyi's heart skipped a beat, and he almost suspected that Xie Jingchi had seen through his plan again.
She turned her head to look at the man beside her. The warm sun enveloped him, making his face almost transparent, like a bottle of fine white jade.
Noticing her gaze, Xie Jingchi turned to look at her and raised the corners of his lips: "Miss Shen, do you have anything to say?"
Shen Shuyi paused and said, "Master Xie, why don't you join me in the competition tomorrow?"
"Why?" Xie Jingchi raised his eyebrows, his narrow and long phoenix eyes filled with a deep and subtle light, indescribably alluring.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said slowly: "Smart people like Lord Xie are unlikely to live long."
Xie Jingchi: “…”
