Chapter 484: Beauty Trap
"Your Highness, please rescue me!" Concubine Jin held Shen Yiyu's arms affectionately.
"My Lady, please don't be like this...Besides, it's useless for me to take matters into my own hands if my father doesn't agree." Shen Yiyu pushed Concubine Jin far away and rejected Concubine Jin's advances.
"Your Highness, you have to help me because Zhen'er's life or death is uncertain." Concubine Jin suddenly knelt down at Shen Yiyu's feet and begged.
"My Lady, if you continue to be patient, I will definitely rescue you when I find the right opportunity." Shen Yiyu understood at this moment that Concubine Jin had just committed suicide just to intimidate his father.
"If Zheng'er is gone, I won't be alive either." Concubine Jin stood up slowly and suddenly hugged Shen Yiyu and kept wailing.
"Did the empress hide something about Zhen'er?" Shen Yiyu finally asked, full of doubts.
"Ah? What can I hide?" Concubine Jin's eyes flashed with panic for a moment.
"I heard that the disappearance of Ji'er was a play you directed and performed." Shen Yiyu looked at Concubine Jin with a half-smile, and he wanted to see through her true inner thoughts.
"Me? I can't bear to touch my own flesh and blood." Concubine Jin flatly denied.
"Really?" Shen Yiyu confirmed again. He had been looking for an opportunity to ask Concubine Jin for the past two days.
"What exactly did His Highness the Crown Prince hear?" Concubine Jin didn't want to lose the opportunity to rely on the Crown Prince because of her concealment.
"I heard that you colluded with the Dark Shang Alliance to kidnap Zhen'er. Is this true?" Shen Yiyu inquired for several days before piecing together the complete picture of the incident.
"To be honest, I really wanted to hide Zhen'er, but..." Concubine Jin stopped talking. She chose to tell the truth just to make the prince feel at ease about her.
"But what?" Shen Yiyu asked, he hated it most when others talked to whet their appetites.
"But someone interfered and kidnapped my son." Concubine Jin told the truth. After she learned that Chen'er had been kidnapped by others, she almost lost her breath and vomited blood.
"Why did you hide Zhen'er?" Shen Yiyu looked at Concubine Jin with a sad face.
"I'm afraid that the emperor really sends Zhen'er to Qiuchi to replace Shen Yihen. Don't you know that Concubine Zhuang goes to Xuande Hall every now and then to cry and make noises? What if the emperor becomes soft-hearted?" Concubine Jin doesn't want to worry about matters related to Shen Yichen's future.
Wait passively.
"Zhen'er can't be sent to get married before the crowning ceremony." Shen Yiyu nodded affirmatively.
"If the emperor wants Zhang'er to go, just wait two months before getting married. Unless an edict is issued, there are always unknown variables." Concubine Jin could not guess the emperor's inner thoughts, so she could only act first to save herself and avoid future troubles.
"Your Majesty, you really made a good move, haha~" Shen Yiyu sneered.
"What's the matter? Your Highness flatters me too much. How can my son be a chess piece? How can I have the foresight to lay out the chess game? It's just that I gave it a try when I was desperate." Concubine Jin looked melancholy, and her own efforts
In the eyes of others, it is not only futile, but also seeking death.
"Who can help me?" Shen Yiyu just wanted to hear the truth from Concubine Jin herself.
"Of course she is a reliable confidant of this palace, but..." Concubine Jin's heart was filled with sadness. After all, it was her selfish decision that deprived others of their stable lives.
"The palace attendant next to the empress?" Shen Yiyu confirmed again.
"I have known this person since I was a little palace maid, and then we stopped contacting him due to the disparity in status. Fortunately, he was thinking of his old relationship and helped me a favor, but he even risked his life to save me.
It's over." Concubine Jin shook her head helplessly, she fell into deep self-blame after hearing that the man committed suicide.
"Is that the person who took the initiative to report the case to Zong Cha Mansion?" Shen Yiyu specifically asked Shen Yihuan about that person.
"Exactly, I am very sad to hear the news of his death." Concubine Jin's sadness was beyond words.
"No wonder the empress behaved very strangely the night Zheng'er disappeared." Shen Yiyu said firmly.
"What's so strange about me?" Concubine Jin looked confused, regretting her ignorance and fearlessness.
"My third brother was so anxious at that time, but you seemed not to care about Chen'er. You were very calm when you heard that she was missing." Shen Yiyu recalled Concubine Jin's behavior that night and felt very puzzled.
"I don't want to have too much contact with the third prince. Besides, what can I do if I'm worried about Chen'er? The emperor has already sent people to look for him. I'm even more worried that the matter will be exposed and I will be put in jail again." Concubine Jin
I am very afraid that the third prince will find out the truth.
"What's the difference between your current situation and being in jail?" Shen Yiyu smiled bitterly.
"What Your Highness is saying is that when I learned about the disappearance of Zhen'er, I was so dizzy that I rushed to the court to make a big fuss. Alas~" Concubine Jin regretted her words and deeds.
"Regret it?" On the surface, Shen Yiyu's conversation with Concubine Jin was calm, but in fact, he was laughing at this stupid woman in his heart, who was so stupid that he made a wedding dress for someone else without knowing it.
"I regret it!" Concubine Jin shook her head helplessly.
"I really don't understand why the empress would do something so wrong, haha~" Shen Yiyu couldn't help but smile.
"As a mother and concubine, I have no choice but to blame others. Your Highness, please don't laugh at me." Concubine Jin said slightly innocently.
"Because there is no evidence to prove it, your Majesty dares to tell me what to do?" Shen Yiyu suddenly changed the subject and looked at Concubine Jin with squinted eyes.
"How could it be? I only told Your Majesty because of my trust." Concubine Jin was frightened by the sudden severity of the Crown Prince and her face turned pale again.
"Yes, I have been very close to you recently, but your trust still makes me confused." Shen Yiyu said slowly.
"What doubts do you have, Your Highness?" Concubine Jin regained her composure and returned to her calm and relaxed look just now.
"Don't you think that if you help me with my singing, I will repay you, help you, and protect you?" Compared with what Concubine Jin did, the little deception he did out of hobby was simply child's play to the emperor.
It is an unpardonable crime for Concubine Jin to commit such a crime.
"I hid Chen'er out of pure selfishness, but I didn't have any bad intentions at all! How could I risk it with my own flesh and blood?" Concubine Jin now regretted her impulsive decision, which she thought was for her.
Although Chen'er was a good person, his whereabouts and life and death were unknown.
"I'm sorry you are not such a heartless person." Shen Yiyu thought about why Concubine Jin would do such a thankless thing, and how to bring her out of the cold palace.
"Your Highness, as long as you rescue me from this Han Lian Mansion, I will be Your Highness's son from now on." Concubine Jin took off her feather gauze robe, only wore a bellyband and hugged Shen Yiyu's neck.
"I don't want to take it seriously, but I still hope that the queen will be self-respecting, self-respecting and self-loving." Shen Yiyu didn't expect that his father's concubine would seduce him like this, and he immediately became uneasy.
