Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 583 Chu Xiyan tells Shen Zhinian about her life story

A figure hidden in a black cloak walked out from the darkness.

Seeing Shen Zhinian and the others, she stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "This servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Consort, may Her Majesty be blessed with good fortune and health!"

Shen Zhinian said calmly: "Get up."

"Thank you, Madam Consort Xian."

Chu Xiyan lowered her eyes and asked, "I wonder if the virtuous concubine wants to see me, what do you want?"

Shen Zhinian stared at her, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully: "Whatever I tell you to do, will you do it?"

"Even if it means... taking Concubine Shu's life?"

Chu Xiyan's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably!

She entered the palace for only this purpose!

The reason why she chose Concubine Xian in the first place was because she was favored and had the ability to help her get revenge.

I didn't expect... that the Concubine Xian really had such thoughts? !

Chu Xiyan's voice trembled slightly, and one could tell she was excited: "I am willing!"

"As long as the virtuous concubine orders, I will obey!"

Shen Zhinian suddenly uttered a soft "huh" and asked directly, "What is the grudge between you and Concubine Shu?"

Chu Xiyan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that what the virtuous concubine had just said was just a test for her!

However, she was so eager for revenge that she did not notice the trap in Concubine Xian's words, which allowed the other party to notice the clue.

In just a short while, cold sweat broke out on Chu Xiyan's back.

"Slave, slave..."

Shen Zhinian interrupted her, his tone slightly cold: "I hate being deceived by others, and I don't have that much time to waste on you."

"You only have one chance, you'd better think it through."

All Chu Xiyan's excuses were stuck in her throat.

She also understood that there were many people in the palace who wanted to serve the virtuous concubine, and if she was not there, there were others.

But if she wanted to take revenge, the only high branch she could climb up was Concubine Xian.

Everyone in the palace knew that Consort Xian and Consort Shu were at odds. Both were high-ranking concubines, and both had princes, so it was only a matter of time before they would end up fighting to the death.

So, can she trust the Concubine Xian?

Perhaps... being honest with the virtuous concubine and becoming someone she truly trusts is the best option.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Xiyan slowly knelt down and choked up, "My Lady Concubine, my original name is 'Chu Daya', and I am the daughter of the eldest princess's wet nurse."

"On New Year's Eve of the first year of the Jingtai reign, my mother was supposed to leave the palace, but my family waited and waited, only to see her cold corpse..."

"And my father..."

After listening to Chu Xiyan's story, Handan and Xiao Zhouzi could not hide the surprise on their faces.

Especially Xiao Zhouzi, who had been persecuted by villains and his family was broken up.

If what Xiyan said was true, she was indeed pitiful...

By the end of her speech, Chu Xiyan's little face was already covered with tears.

She took a deep breath, her tone filled with deep hatred: "My Lady Xianfei, my only purpose in entering the palace is to take revenge on My Lady Shufei!"

"As long as I can bring her down and kill her, I will give up everything! Even if it means my death, I will not hesitate!"

Whether what Chu Xiyan said is true or false, Shen Zhinian will send someone to verify it later.

She motioned for Handan to help Chu Xiyan up and said, "No wonder you said you were loyal to me and went to Yongshou Palace to serve me."

"Don't worry, I and you have a common enemy. If I help you, I am also helping myself."

Chu Xiyan suddenly felt that the heavy burden on her shoulders was lightened a lot.

She was just a powerless palace maid. It was too difficult for her to overthrow Concubine Shu with her ability...

With the help of Her Majesty the Concubine, her future journey will be much easier!

Chu Xiyan knelt on the ground again, kowtowed and said: "I believe in the virtuous concubine and am willing to go through fire and water for this matter!"

"My Lady, you must be careful on the Lantern Festival!"

"The Concubine Shu already knows that His Majesty will take you out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns on that day, and will ask Eunuch Hua to bribe the assassin..."

This news was originally revealed to Concubine Shu by Shen Zhinian in order to catch her mistakes. Seeing that Concubine Shu was really fooled, Shen Zhinian was not afraid, but looked forward to it!

Of course, she didn't completely believe Chu Xiyan now, so it was impossible for her to tell her the truth.

Otherwise, what if Chu Xiyan is actually Concubine Shu's person and is deliberately trying to confuse her, then wouldn't her plan be ruined?

At this moment, Shen Zhinian covered his mouth with a handkerchief and pretended to be surprised: "What did you say?!"

"Shu Fei is so crazy..."

Chu Xiyan nodded: "The Concubine Shu said that His Majesty only took her out to enjoy the lanterns in secret during the first Lantern Festival after she married into the palace."

"She has always believed that those memories belonged exclusively to her and His Majesty. But now, His Majesty has given you this special treatment. She is no longer the only one."

"The Concubine Shu is jealous and afraid of His Majesty's favor towards you, so she must take this opportunity to get rid of you!"

Shen Zhinian listened and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he thought of Nangong Xuanyu, he suddenly felt itchy!

Even if she was sober, her heart was not made of iron.

Nangong Xuanyu was the emperor, but he was willing to take her out of the palace in disguise to appreciate the lanterns on a crowded and extremely dangerous day.

Shen Zhinian was indeed touched by such a romantic thing.

It turns out that this kind of thing had been done for Concubine Shu many years ago.

But he never mentioned it to her once.

Ah! man!

What a dog!

Sure enough, their deepest purpose in doing anything for women is not to make them happy, but just to satisfy their own passion.

If they changed the woman, they could still do those things for each other.

Shen Zhinian asked Handan to help Chu Xiyan up again: "I know about what you said."

"If Concubine Shu has any unusual moves, and it is not convenient for you to come to Zhongcui Palace, you can tell Xiao Mingzi the news."

Chu Xiyan nodded: "Yes."

"I have something else to report to Her Majesty the Concubine."

Shen Zhinian looked at her and said, "You say."

Chu Xiyan said: "The head of the Internal Affairs Department, who was promoted by Concubine Shu, was replaced by Concubine Liang. In the past few days, several eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Department who were loyal to Concubine Shu have also met with accidents one after another."

"Empress Shu believes that Empress Liang was responsible for this incident and she set up a scheme to take revenge on Empress Liang."

Next, Chu Xiyan explained Concubine Shu’s plan in detail.

This was originally done by Shen Zhinian. She expected that with Concubine Shu's personality, she would definitely take revenge on Concubine Liang, but she didn't know the other party's specific plan.

If what Chu Xiyan said was true, it would be easier for her to take action next!
