Chapter 433 Does She Look Like...
Shen Shuyi looked calm. After bowing respectfully to the empress dowager, he stood up and walked out neatly.
She didn't have much time to gain the Queen Mother's trust, so she had to take a risky move.
In this palace, the affair between Princess Changle and the late Second Prince is a taboo, especially in front of the Queen Mother.
Although many people knew that the Empress Dowager's worship of Buddha was related to this and became more and more intense as she got older, no one was stupid enough to bring such things to the Empress Dowager's face. After all, she was the Empress Dowager of Daqian, the most supreme woman in the entire Daqian.
She doesn't need your pity or comfort, and she doesn't think anyone can truly empathize with her.
Everyone is like this, they all think that the pain they suffer is the greatest.
Therefore, even if smart people know what the Queen Mother misses or what she suffers from, few people would be so smart as to bring it up in front of her.
After all, no one is qualified to say anything more, and any statement is wrong.
But Shen Shuyi knew that she didn't have that much time to wait to be summoned by the Queen Mother again and again, so she could only try her best to seize every opportunity.
The Queen Mother stared at her back, narrowed her eyes, and said coldly: "You won't plead for yourself?"
Shen Shuyi stopped and turned around and said, "I know I have overstepped my bounds, so I am willing to accept this punishment. As long as the Queen Mother can forgive me, I will have no regrets."
The Queen Mother's eyes were sharp and her brows were stern. The aura of having been in a high position for a long time was fully displayed at this moment.
Shen Shuyi was always humble, but not afraid.
The Queen Mother sneered and said, "Drag him away and beat him!"

After Shen Shuyi was escorted out of the tent, the empress dowager was still staring in the direction she left in a daze.
The image of Changle beside her appeared in front of her eyes.
"Changle doesn't think what I said was wrong, but if it displeases the queen mother, Changle is willing to accept the punishment."
The Queen Mother was in a trance for a moment, then slowly lowered her eyes.
Her Changle is a quiet and patient person, who can often sit for a whole day with a book in hand.
When I was young, I also often worshipped Buddha, but my heart was not as sincere as it is now.
But such a young child could sit with her for half a day, so quietly that it seemed as if he had never existed.
If I turned to look at her, she would notice and smile back at me, gently and tenderly, without the sharpness that a princess should have.
But such a gentle person is extremely stubborn.
Even if his bones were broken, he would not bow his head.
"Empress..." Haoyue said in a low voice.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes again and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on it."
"Yes." Aunt Haoyue responded and turned to leave.
"Chunxi." The empress dowager spoke slowly and looked at the capable maid beside her. Chunxi had been with her for a long time and had taken care of Changle for several years in her early years, so she was most familiar with her.
"Your Majesty, I'm here." Chunxi held the empress dowager's hand, her voice steady.
The Queen Mother was silent for a while, then said softly: "Do you think... does she look like Changle..."
She seemed to see the shadow of Changle in her.
Aunt Chunxi nodded and said, "The princess is a daughter of gold, precious and noble, and ordinary people naturally cannot reach her. However... Miss Shen is indeed quite similar to the princess."
"Yes, Changle also praised the beauty of Yuzhu Seal. He was able to concentrate on studying Buddhism at a young age. He seemed gentle, but he actually had his own ideas..."
When the Queen Mother mentioned these things, her eyes felt sore and her heart felt heavy.
Back then, she and Concubine Zhuang had a fierce fight, but Changle and Concubine Zhuang's daughter had a very good relationship.
She and Concubine Zhuang had a tacit understanding and never took action against each other's daughters, but taking advantage of them was inevitable.
Later, Concubine Zhuang designed a rift between her two sons, causing the brothers to turn against each other. In a rage, Concubine Zhuang planned to attack Concubine Zhuang's daughter to vent her anger.
Unexpectedly, Changle knew that in order to save that evil creature, he was willing to die...
The daughter she loved so much, in the end, died at her own hands!
Whenever she thought of it, the Queen Mother felt indescribably suffocated and her heart was broken.
She knew that Changle was using this method to tell her that she was wrong and to fight against her.
But she was always smart and knew she couldn't change her decision, so she used such a decisive approach.
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The princess is kind-hearted and will never blame you." Aunt Chunxi's eyes were filled with heartache and she couldn't help but comfort him.
The Queen Mother laughed at herself and said, "Kind? It's my fault. If I hadn't protected her so well and raised her so kindly, she wouldn't have died so tragically!"
"Your Majesty..." Aunt Chunxi wanted to say something else.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "No need to say more. I know that she hates me. If she didn't hate me, she wouldn't choose this way to fight back."
In her life, she only had two sons and one daughter.
When a son grows up, he avoids his mother and naturally cannot be that close to her. But it is different for a daughter. She often sits on her lap and sleeps in the same bed with her.
She still remembers how she snuggled in her arms and acted coquettishly...
She broke her promise. She had promised Changle that she would not harm the illegitimate child of Concubine Zhuang.
But in this harem and in this court, who can stay out of trouble?

After Shen Shuyi was escorted out of the tent, he was quickly placed on a bench.
Many people around heard the noise and looked over.
Qin Xuerong was crying in the tent at the moment. When she heard that Shen Shuyi had angered the empress dowager, she wiped her tears and ran out to watch the fun.
Not only that, Madam Qin and her group were also unable to remain calm. They each put on cloaks or capes and emerged from their tents.
"Sister, this bitch finally got her retribution!" Qin Guiqiong looked at Qin Xuerong with a sense of solidarity.
Qin Xuerong stood on the outskirts of the crowd, and when she saw on tiptoe that the person was indeed Shen Shuyi, a smile finally appeared on her red and swollen face.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Shen Shuyi would have such a day! I thought she was invincible, but I didn't expect that she would offend the Queen Mother!"
Qin Xuerong spoke with gritted teeth, her tearful eyes full of ferocity.
Madam Qin still had a stern face, but at this moment, her wrinkled face seemed a little more relaxed.
"To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. Shen Shuyi is smart and conceited, but now he is reaping the fruits of his own actions. This can be considered retribution."
Hearing her mother's words, Qin Xuerong's tears suddenly burst out.
Yes, she harmed Yujieer, Zhenjieer and even Linjieer like this, isn’t this retribution!
Lou Yulan stood behind Qin Guiqiong, looking at the beautiful girl from afar, feeling dazed.
Ever since she met Shen Shuyi, she had always looked confident and calm. She never expected that such a high-ranking person would have a moment when she would be cast into the dust.
Noticing a figure beside her, Lou Yulan turned around and looked with a smile in her eyes: "Prince Song."
Song Tingshan was wearing a white cloak and had a pale face. He nodded slightly to Lou Yulan: "Miss Lou."
Lou Yulan smiled back, and then followed her gaze towards the field.
