Chapter 577 More and more excessive
After hearing the eunuch's words, Concubine Rou's expression did not change, but her seemingly innocent eyes and brows became more gloomy.
What did Shen Shuyi want to find Yuan Shulei for?
Yuan Shulei has been staying indoors for many years and has not paid attention to worldly affairs. Why would she agree to meet her?
Seeing that Concubine Rou had no intention of leaving, Xiao Zhuzi immediately advised, "Your Majesty, our Majesty really doesn't want to see guests, you should go back."
Eunuch Hai was very angry and asked, "How can you meet the Princess of Changning without seeing guests?"
Xiao Zhuzi scratched his head: "This... I have already met with the Princess of Changning County, so naturally I can't meet with anyone else."
"According to you, our queen is not as noble as the Princess of Changning County?" Eunuch Hai scolded.
Xiao Zhuzi was embarrassed: "This... This is not a question of nobility or not, but our queen said she won't see you, so she won't see you."
Eunuch Hai wanted to say something else, but Concubine Rou raised her hand to stop him and said in a deep voice, "Since sister doesn't want to see me, we will just wait here."
Xiao Zhuzi looked at Concubine Rou in a daze.
Wouldn't it be a bad idea for their master to let Concubine Rou, who is now in charge of the six palaces, wait in front of the door?
But...it seems...it seems that there is nothing wrong...
"Then you can wait if you want. I have brought our master's words."
After saying this, perhaps out of fear of Eunuch Hai's murderous look, Xiao Zhuzi turned around and hurried back to Chonghua Palace, not forgetting to slam the door shut.
"This is outrageous!" Eunuch Hai's cheeks were twisted with anger.
Concubine Rou didn't say anything else. She waited patiently as she said.
Shen Shuyi will eventually have to come out of here. She can hide here for a while, but not forever.
She was just worried that she would give the account book to Yuan Shulei, and whether Yuan Shulei, who had been living in seclusion for many years, would get involved?
Concubine Rou shook her head and said, no, she would not pay any attention to it.
The most important thing to her now is the safety of the twelfth prince. Her power in the former dynasty and the harem is no longer what it used to be. A smart person like her would not get involved in such things.
Even if she is favored by His Majesty, so many years have passed, how can anything remain unchanged?
Concubine Rou had complicated thoughts, and what she was most worried about was that Shen Shuyi would give the account book to Yuan Shulei.
Although the Yuan family does not fight for anything now and has kept a low profile for many years, she is very clear that the Yuan family and Xiang Fei have the same status in His Majesty's heart, which is absolutely incomparable to ordinary people.
She wasn't afraid of Shen Shuyi, she was just afraid that Sister Xiang Fei would get involved...

Inside Chonghua Palace.
Shen Shuyi, who won several games in a row, made the tricky nanny on the opposite side so angry that she jumped up and down.
The old eunuch on the other side was smiling all the time, while the senior palace maid was very calm.
After winning all the money in front of the nanny, the nanny pushed the cards aside and said, "No more playing!"
Xiang Fei smiled and said, "It seems that my little Twelve has made some money today."
As she spoke, Xiang Fei gave half of the silver to Shen Shuyi: "This half is yours."
Shen Shuyi did not refuse and asked Jinzhu to put it away for her.
"Little girl, do you know that you should leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future?" the nanny said coldly.
Shen Shuyi looked at Yuping and took out the snacks she had brought: "Mammy and eunuchs, please have a taste. These pastries were originally brought for His Majesty the Twelfth Prince. His Majesty the Twelfth Prince is not here now, so I'll have someone send some to him another day."
Several people gathered around Yuping and examined the food box carefully. The pastries were exquisitely made, with patterns of various animals, lifelike shapes and bright colors, just like a fine handicraft.
"Oh, why are there two missing? You are a little girl, you don't give them away and you don't steal them, do you?" The nanny said bluntly.
Shen Shuyi curled his eyes and smiled: "What's missing are two turtles, which were taken away by Concubine Rou's people before."
A few people looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Obviously, although these people were slaves in the palace, they did not take the most favored Concubine Rou seriously.
Shen Shuyi said again: "Mammy is right, but sometimes there are things that cannot be given up. If you leave this chance, you will let down all the people in the world."
Hearing this, the nanny glanced at Shen Shuyi and said nothing more.
Xiang Fei had someone bring hot tea over and looked at Shen Shuyi: "Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Shen Shuyi's face became more serious: "Madam's hometown is in Jiangnan? To be exact, it is in Kuncheng in the Jiangnan area."
Xiang Fei looked calm and said, "Yes, I guess you had already guessed it when you gave the jade pendant to Hong Yan."
Shen Shuyi understood in his heart that, as expected, the jade pendant had a close connection with Xiang Fei.
"Where did you get the jade pendant?" Xiang Fei asked.
Shen Shuyi fell into memories: "In the hunting ground of His Majesty the Third Prince, at the hands of a young girl who was shot as prey..."
Concubine Xiang's eyes darkened slightly: "Over the years, she has really been going too far."
"After a long investigation, I learned that this jade pendant was given to the Yuan family by the wealthy and common people in the Jiangnan area more than 30 years ago. They gave the jade pendant to the person who had done them a favor, and promised that if the other party had any request one day, they could use this jade pendant as a proof to ask the Yuan family for help."
Shen Shuyi looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. She had a different temperament from Concubine Rou, Concubine Li, and Concubine Jing.
There weren't many signs of aging on the woman's body, but she did have a sense of calmness and peace. The gentleness and tranquility of Concubine Jing were somewhat similar to hers, but also different.
Xiang Fei possesses a kind of gentleness that comes from being free from desires, and also a kind of tenacity that overcomes hardness with softness. Her gentleness is sharp, which does not hurt others but is extremely powerful.
Xiang Fei recalled the past: "You are right, the Yuan family is rich in beautiful jade. That year, a total of 36 pieces of beautiful jade were given away, and each piece had a unique mark of the Yuan family."
"Over the years, the Yuan family has fulfilled thirty-two promises. In other words, there are only four pieces of white jade left."
Shen Shuyi nodded: "Your Highness is now a royal concubine and has lived in the palace for a long time. The Twelfth Prince is also favored by His Majesty. The value of this jade pendant has risen rapidly. If it is not necessary, I think no one will be willing to take it out easily."
Xiang Fei nodded: "You are right, most of the jade pendants were taken back when I was young, and the ones that were handed to me and my father over the years are getting fewer and fewer."
"Do you know what this person wants?" Xiang Fei changed the subject and looked at Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi shook her head: "I don't know, when she put the jade pendant in my hand, she had been shot by several arrows, and she only said the two words 'Huang Xiang' with her last breath..."
At first she thought she was saying someone's name, until that day at the palace banquet when she noticed the white jade on Concubine Xiang's body.
She boldly guessed that the girl meant to go to the palace to find Concubine Xiang, which was why she made the subsequent test.
Concubine Xiang's eyes were deep: "Since you don't know, this jade pendant is brought by you, and I will grant you a wish."
Shen Shuyi stood up, knelt in front of Concubine Xiang, and presented the account book with both hands: "Your Highness, please make a decision for the people who died unjustly in the world!"
