News from outside the palace quickly reached the palace. Ji Jin didn't say anything for a long time after hearing the eunuch's report.

The eunuch lowered his head and knelt on the ground, his heart pounding in a beat, and his face turned pale with horror.

"The regent didn't say anything, and the eldest princess went back by herself?"

"Yes, I heard you clearly from the side." The eunuch replied in fear, "The eldest princess just asked the guards to say hello for her. The regent replied with the word 'Ann', without a single word more. The eldest princess thought for a while , I went back somehow.”

Ji Jin was sitting on the dragon chair behind the court case, her eyelids were slightly drooped, her profile was hidden in the dark light, her eyes were flickering, and she couldn't distinguish her emotions of joy and anger.

There seemed to be a cold air current surging in the hall.

After a long time, Ji Jin said calmly: "Go down."

"yes."

"Black Forest Guard."

A figure in black seemed to appear out of thin air, kneeling on the ground: "Yes."

"The Prince Regent took the antidote yesterday?"

"My subordinates don't know." The voice of the man in black kneeling on the ground was tight, as if in fear, "The secret line only said that the Princess Regent took the antidote to the main courtyard of the Prince Regent's Palace, where the Prince Regent was always poisoned, but …”

Ji Jin narrowed her eyes slightly: "But what?"

"The Princess Regent asked the guard for a set of silver needles."

Silver needle?

Ji Jin frowned slightly: "What is the function of silver needles? To test for poison or to detoxify?"

"I don't know for sure," the man in black replied, "The Princess Regent also bought various medicinal materials yesterday, and there were more than thirty kinds of medicinal materials."

Ji Jin heard this and said coldly: "Does she want to develop an antidote? She is really smart."

"This is indeed suspicious." The man in black said in shock, "The Princess Regent has never heard of being proficient in medical skills before, but my subordinates went to check yesterday. Although she bought many kinds of medicinal materials, seventeen of them were I find it unusual that she can identify the ingredients of the antidote in such a short period of time."

"She bought more than thirty kinds of medicinal materials. It doesn't matter if she happens to get some of them right." Ji Jin disapproved, obviously not thinking that a reclusive noblewoman was good at medical skills. "What's more, even if she prepared all the medicinal materials, she still made the medicine." No antidote."

Rather than letting him believe that Shen Ning was good at medicine, he would rather believe that the regent secretly found the doctor, identified the ingredients in the antidote, and deliberately asked Shen Ning to go out to buy the medicine to confuse their judgment.

After all, the regent has a high position, so it is easier to find famous doctors. However, Shen Ning is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guangdong. She has lived in the back house since she was a child. She has no chronic diseases and has never been a teacher of famous doctors for any special reasons. It is impossible to learn from it. Superb medical skills.

But the regent's situation today is indeed abnormal.

Ji Jin closed his eyes and remained silent, with dark thoughts in his eyes. After a long time, he turned around and ordered: "Zhou Fang."

"The slave is here."

"Immediately draw up a decree to confer the title of Concubine Hui to the second daughter of the Duke of Guo's Mansion, Shen Yan, and select two nuns from the palace to go to the Duke's Mansion to teach her the rules for half a month. She will be brought into the palace on the second day of the next month."

"Yes, I will do it right now."

Ji Jin stood up and walked to the window, standing with her hands behind her hands, her posture slender and straight.

This movement and stance are so similar to that dignified and indifferent man with military power.

It's just that the young man's figure is a little thinner after all, not as tall and strong as an adult man, nor as calm and imposing as a military commander who holds military power.

Zhou Fang withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to prepare his order.

The imperial edict of conferring a concubine reached the Duke's Mansion, and the Duke's Mansion, which had been depressed for more than half a month, suddenly became lively.

Mrs. Shen knelt on the ground in a daze, almost thinking that she heard something wrong. Instead, Shen Yan reacted quickly and looked up at the father-in-law in surprise: "Your Majesty, will you make me your concubine?"

The eunuch who delivered the order nodded: "Yes, congratulations to Miss Shen Er."

Great, great!

Shen Yan couldn't suppress her surprise and excitement, and quickly reached out to take the imperial edict, and stuffed a bag of silver into the eunuch's eunuch: "Thank you, eunuch."

"Don't dare." The father-in-law held the money in his pocket and said congratulations one after another before leaving.

"Brother, did you hear that? I have been made a concubine!" Shen Yan turned to look at Shen Shi'an and said with great joy, "I am the emperor's concubine. Shen Ning will have to kneel down and kowtow when she sees me in the future—— "

"Yan'er, be careful what you say." Madam Shen reminded her hurriedly, "How can a concubine who enters the palace be as reckless and reckless as you, with expressive emotions and anger?"

Shen Yan quickly calmed down her overly excited expression, "My daughter is just too happy! Mother, I have become a concubine, and the Duke's Palace is the emperor's father-in-law's home——"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Shen's face darkened, "The Queen's father is the Emperor's father-in-law. You are just a concubine, so you are not allowed to talk nonsense."

Shen Yan was reprimanded for her repeated gaffes, and her face became a little ugly. In order to avoid making more mistakes by saying more, she simply shut up and said no more.

"Don't be nervous, mother. Didn't the father-in-law just say that? There will be a nanny from the palace who will come over to teach my sister the rules." Shen Shi'an comforted her gently, "Even if the Duke's Mansion is not the Father-in-law's Mansion, it will still be a true relative of the emperor in the future. If my sister is favored in the palace, given our family background, it is not impossible for her to be crowned queen. "

Mrs. Shen said with a warning: "It's okay to say this at home. Don't say it randomly when you go out."

Shen Shi'an nodded: "My son knows, and my mother can rest assured."

Mother and son talked all the way.

But Shen Yan was thinking about Shen Ning in her heart.

The regent now has great power, but the world still belongs to the emperor. When she enters the palace in the future, her status will be much more noble than Shen Ning's. With just one order, Shen Ning will have to enter the palace obediently to pay her respects.

It would be better if the regent lost power.

Without the protection of the regent, what ability does Shen Ning have to compete with her? When she is asked to enter the palace, she must enter the palace, and if she is asked to kneel, she must kneel.

If she is unruly...

Thinking of Shen Ning's cold and unruly temper, Shen Yan's lips raised a sneer smile. It would be best for her to continue to maintain her unruly temper. Then she would have a legitimate reason to grind her down, crush her pride and temper, and let her She lay on the ground licking food like a dog.

Shen Yan raised her hand to caress her face.

The pain and humiliation of being slapped that day is still there, and she will definitely seek justice.

Shen Ning, I will definitely get back everything you have done to me ten times and a hundred times.

"I always feel that this imperial edict to confer a concubine is a bit hasty." Mrs. Shen's brows hid worries, but she finally expressed her uneasiness, "The emperor obviously wants the Duke's Palace to stand behind him without any distractions, and use us to talk to the regent. Confrontation, but even though the Duke's palace is magnificent, it is not enough in front of the regent. "

In the past few days, Mrs. Shen has finally understood that even the emperor, the king of a country, can't help himself. What does the Duke's Mansion stand behind the emperor?

It would be fine if the emperor could successfully take power, and they would all be prosperous. If the emperor is destined to be a puppet, then the queen mother and everyone behind the emperor are destined to be cannon fodder.

Now that Shen Yan has entered the palace, the Shen family will no longer have any room for regret.

"Mother, why are you so pessimistic?" Shen Yan frowned, her good mood was completely ruined by her words, "The emperor is the emperor and the ruler of this world. The regent is only in charge of the government on his behalf, not to mention that he was also hit. Poison, who knows how long he can survive?”

Shen Shi'an's face changed slightly and he shouted sternly: "Yan'er."

"Anyway, the imperial edict has been issued. Let's wait until your father comes back." Mrs. Shen was still a little uneasy. "How long the regent can live is a matter for the future. At least for now, he has great power, and the emperor cannot If you don't listen to him, it's a matter of doubt whether this gifted marriage will come true."

When Shen Yan heard this, she almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand.

Mother and eldest brother can only pour cold water on me, right?

When Shen Ning married the regent with an unclean body, they had never seen them so worried. She couldn't marry him even if she wanted to. Now the emperor granted her a marriage and let her enter the palace as a concubine. It was fine that they were not happy for her. On the contrary It seemed like a disaster was coming.

Can't they just hope she gets better?

Shen Yan thought gloomily that she must marry the emperor. She wanted Shen Ning to kneel in front of her and kowtow, call her empress respectfully, admit in a low voice that it was all her fault in the past, and ask her to spare her life. .

When the time comes, she will definitely trample Shen Ning hard under her feet and let out a good sigh of relief.
