Zheng Ying took a few deep breaths before she said, "You guys are all good at acting, you're all jackals of the same tribe! That means that Li Yijie is not the Wulin Alliance Head, he's just another swindler that you invited to help you put on a show. "
Shen Shiyun sighed and said, "You don't think he looks like one, do you? Ay, you and I have the same opinion on this point. I don't know if I should be happy for you or sad for me. But he is the genuine Wulin Alliance Head. Otherwise, who would have the patience to waste time with a nosy and annoying guy like him? As for the Manchu-Han reconciliation, what I said to His Majesty wasn't always the truth. "
Zheng Ying shouted, "Good! So you're admitting that you have an affair with that guy?"
Shen Shiyun sighed and said, "It seems that it's not easy to enlighten a stupid person in a short period of time. I just told you that I hate him very much. How could I have an affair with him? There's no harm in telling you that I deliberately led you to see the portrait that you regarded as a treasure. The pigment was made by extracting the juice from many different kinds of flowers. The first portrait of His Majesty would be temporarily precipitated and seep into the paper, making it transparent. After a while, the second portrait would dissipate on its own. It's very interesting. It's the perfect solution to make the first layer of ink visible. Actually, you didn't have to go through so much trouble. You only needed to draw another portrait and mark the same position with the phosphor powder. But I was worried that you would open it again after you got it. I didn't expect you to be so blindly confident. It's me who thought you were too cautious. That night, the Snow Song Palace was empty. In order to prevent you from being scared out of your wits, I ordered the Imperial Bodyguards to go to rest in advance. I was also worried that you wouldn't be able to quietly break in, so I left the door wide open. You see, in order to make the thief who stole the painting succeed, I helped a lot. When the time comes, when you want to reward me, will I get a share? "
Zheng Ying gnashed her teeth and said, "You set a trap for me to fall into. In order to frame me, you did everything you could, yet you still dare to say that you helped me?"
Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Did I say something wrong? What I'm doing is exactly in line with your trap. I'll beat you at your own game. If you don't jump into it, just take it that I'm singing a one-man show. I'm not hindering anyone, am I? This consort has always done things flawlessly. How could this consort allow others to have a handle on her? If you happen to bump into me, it's not because you're lucky, but because I purposely let you catch me. Blame yourself for overestimating yourself and underestimating me. I advanced step by step in the depths of the palace, sacrificing my most cherished feelings, abandoning my comfortable life, subverting the traditional morality, treading on blood and thorns, advancing with great difficulty. It was not easy for me to obtain the power and status I have today. How could it be so easily shaken by the power of an ant like you? Relying on the fact that their relatives were high-ranking officials in the imperial court, had they not heard of the fact that their family wealth would be depleted just like that? Once the pillar of support fell, what would be left? Oh, I also forgot. You don't have the ability. After all, there's still your Jiejie. Her seduction skill is not inferior to the girls in the brothel. But when she's old and yellow, she won't be valuable anymore. Therefore, if your Dong 'e clan wants to make a fortune, you'll have to hurry ahead. "
Zheng Ying angrily said, "Shen Shiyun, all day long you write and paint, I think you're treating the ink as nourishment and drank it all. Do you still know how to speak human language? Do you know how to write the two characters' honor and shame '? You … you think that because you have His Majesty's favor, you can do whatever you want? Do you think that this consort doesn't dare to teach you a lesson? "She raised her hand to slap. She was so angry that her wrist could not help but tremble, as if she was about to slap. 'Slap!' a crisp sound was heard. Shen Shiyun raised her hand and slapped Zheng Ying's face with incomparable speed through the gap between her elbows. This slap was fast and ruthless, there was not even the slightest sign beforehand.
Zheng Ying covered her face, she was nearly stunned by the slap. She felt that half of her face was burning hot, as if it was on fire. She was in pain, but also ashamed and indignant. Even her voice was shrill as she called out, "You … how dare you hit me? Too presumptuous! This was simply lawless! You are a lowly person with no upbringing … "
Shen Shiyun coldly said, "Fortunately, I have a model and I can apply what I learned. Didn't you raise your hand and want to slap me?" Zheng Ying angrily said, "I was just saying, I didn't really hit you. I just made a few hand gestures, how could I hurt you until your skin is bleeding?"
Shen Shiyun sneered and said, "That's right, this is the difference between you and me. You seem to be tyrannical, but in fact, you only know how to put on a fierce and fiendish face to scare people. After a long time of rumbling thunder, not a single drop of rain has been seen. But this Consort is different. If I am determined to do something, I will decisively take action when the time is right. Before the action, I will not even say half a word of nonsense to you. I think you are really stupid and ridiculous, so ridiculous that you are somewhat pitiful. Let me teach you, never expose your true face in front of other people, otherwise you will be seen through. It's just like throwing a tantrum in the middle of the street without a stitch of clothing. You are as stupid as you want to be. "
Zheng Ying sneered and said, "Learn from those false masks of yours?" Shen Shiyun said, "You can say that. You don't have to bother to find out the truth about me. This Consort doesn't have a true face. I have appropriate measures to deal with different people and different situations. But I can tell you, my principle is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone really provokes me, I will first make them wish they were dead, and then slowly torture them in the cruelest way. However, based on your little bit of experience, it won't be that easy to make me angry. "
Zheng Ying was furious. "You bully me too much!" she said. She pounced forward, ready to strike. Her palm hit the real thing. Shen Shiyun leaned sideways to evade. With a contemptuous expression she said, "Imitating other people's speech and behavior is the most stupid thing to do, especially when you are in a hurry to follow behind. This is the second thing I want to teach you. You must remember it well. " Finished speaking, with an elegant smile on her face, she paced back and forth. Indifferently she pulled several pink petals from an obliquely protruding tree branch, and twirled them between her fingers. She leisurely said, "There is nothing in the world, it's just people making trouble for themselves. This Consort has absolutely no feelings toward Li Yijie, only a relationship of using him. Using his position as the Meng Zhu to buy people's hearts, win over the power under his command, and wait until all these benefits have been used up. At that time, whether or not I will be merciful and spare his life will depend on my mood. This principle is similar to how I use His Majesty. To put it bluntly, they are just chess pieces. With my ability and appearance, if I want to find a man who is obedient to me, who is willing to risk his life for me, I can find him anywhere. But no matter how obedient he is, after all, he is just a lowly commoner. Only the monarch has the power to control the world. Of course I will follow him, so that I can use my power for personal gain. After avenging my family's enmity, I will train the talented people in the Palace, and they will all be loyal to me. When I ascend the throne and sit on the country, it will be my turn to look at His Majesty's face. He is actually more difficult to serve than Li Yijie, but he has to consult other people about everything. He can't do this, he can't do that, he can't do that, he can't do that, he can only show off his power in the back of the palace. It would be better to let him be the Master of the Eastern Palace, he will have a place. "
Zheng Ying's forehead also broke out in cold sweat. She had never thought that Shen Shiyun would publicly insult the Emperor. When she heard it, she was even more nervous than the speaker himself. Looking around, with a trembling voice she said, "You … you don't want to live anymore? You actually dare to say such rebellious words. Aren't you afraid that your entire family will be executed? "
Shen Shiyun felt a faint pain in the depths of her heart, as if she had touched a soft spot. She thought, "Shadowless Mountain Villa has been destroyed for a long time, and the garden has also been burned to ruins. Now, I'm afraid that even the ruins can't be found, so how can I talk about my entire family?" Her face revealed a bit of misery, but then she remembered the situation at hand. If she couldn't face it head-on, no one would be able to help her. She immediately calmed down, thinking that she absolutely couldn't let her see through the changes in her emotions. She sneered and said, "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Bengong isn't stupid enough to keep saying these words over and over again. After today, I won't mention it again. As long as no one hears it now, it won't be any different from before. Did I say that I was rebellious? Who heard it? Who can testify? Some people have a kind face but evil heart. On the surface, they pretend to be sanctimonious, but behind their backs, they have done evil deeds that are devoid of conscience. If they are not exposed, others will always think that they are a good person. There are also people who have done good deeds for their whole life, but in a moment of confusion, they have done something insignificant. If they are exposed, although it can't be said that their reputation will be ruined, but when others look at them again, there will always be a difference in their view. Do you think it's cruel? There's nothing you can do about it. This is the truth of the world. Do you still expect it to be fair? Although the mask of hypocrisy isn't magnanimous enough, it is still very useful to avoid suspicion, especially in the depths of the palace where rumors are everywhere. Don't you think so? "
Zheng Ying felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but take a few steps back and said, "Why are you telling me this? This … this is your secret that can't see the light of day. Why … "
Shen Shiyun's voice was extremely charming as she said, "It seems that you are not too stupid. At least you know that people with long ears and long tongues often don't have long lives. Because every murderer knows that only the dead will never leak information." She deliberately paused and looked at Zheng Ying's body trembling, but she still had to pretend to be brave, so that the muscles on her face couldn't help but twitch stiffly. It seemed to be an extremely pleasing and interesting thing. After she had scared her enough, she said softly, "Don't worry, bengong won't kill you to silence you. In my eyes, you are nothing, no different from a dead person. You will never be able to affect my grand plan. That's why I can tell you my true thoughts without any hesitation. It's like talking to a stone. Even if you tell on me, no one will believe you, because your reputation has already been ruined. You won't be recognized, and the truth is also a lie. In addition, there's one more thing. You've been deliberately trying to spy on me. It can be said that you've resorted to every conceivable means. Your methods are also so ridiculous and laughable. Now, this consort has personally told you the biggest weakness that can be used against me, but you can't tell anyone. Holding it in by yourself must be so uncomfortable that you want to die. Sister Consort Zhen, you can slowly enjoy this feeling. " With a pinch of her fingers, she suddenly destroyed a few blooming petals into pieces, which floated down lifelessly from between her fingers. Shen Shiyun was enjoying this scene of decline. She glanced at Zheng Ying with a smile on her face, as if she was demonstrating to her.
Zheng Ying was so angry that she almost flew into a rage. She couldn't control her behavior and laughed wildly, "Shen Shiyun, do you think you can pretend to be a good person for the rest of your life? Unfortunately, man proposes but God disposes. It seems that you don't have such good luck! Turn around and look behind you. Who is it? " Shen Shiyun saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake, so she also became a bit flustered. The arrogance on her face was swept away, and she put on a gentle and amiable smile and turned around. Zheng Ying instantly stepped forward, twisted one of her arms, and pressed it behind her back. At the same time, she struck her shoulder with her palm. It really was as fast as lightning.
When Zheng Ying was young, she had also learned a few fighting techniques from a martial arts master. She had some small achievements. Taking advantage of the other side's panic, she launched a sneak attack. Shen Shiyun suddenly lost her center of gravity after being hit by her. Her head was at the same level as her shoulder, and she fell into a small pond beside her, splashing up a layer of water. That pond was specially opened in the imperial garden. Some flowers and plants were planted there, and they were flourishing. As a scenic spot, the pond wasn't very deep, but every autumn, the water temperature would drop sharply.
Zheng Ying saw that her attack was successful, and it was much more successful than shooting an arrow from behind. She was so happy that she couldn't help but clap her hands. She laughed and said, "Do you admit defeat? Do you still dare to say that the foundation is not easy to shake? Didn't you fall with a push from me? In the end, who is the pitiful laughable one? Hey, hey, this is what you taught me. Don't be a gentleman, don't be a villain. Don't remind me before harming others. I've learned well, haven't I? You're like a cat teaching a tiger how to learn. You think you're smart, but climbing a tree can't save your life. In the end, you still can't escape from the tiger's mouth. You can slowly flop around in the water. Few people have ever passed by this place … "
