The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

"The more he cares about her, the more he might hurt her."

The emperor sighed and went to the bed.

After leaving Yongshou Palace, Shen Mi followed Murong Che all the time.

Seeing that she looked troubled, Murong Che simply asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Mi's expression was calm as she moved closer to Murong Che.

"Fourth Master, I always feel that you and I are being too ostentatious."

Murong Che raised his eyebrows, "With great fanfare?"

"Shen Mi, do you want to keep it a secret forever?"

"Since you are included in my family tree, I can protect you."

Shen Mi pursed her lips, "If His Majesty knew, what would the Fourth Master do?"

Murong Che's face was cold, "What are you afraid of? He has no say."

"It only counts if I say it."

……

East Palace, private room.

The queen sat upright on the chair. Soon, two maids brought in the Chief Justice.

When the Dali Temple Minister saw the Queen, he immediately saluted.

"I am here to see Her Majesty the Queen. Your Majesty asked me to come here because of the assassination of the Crown Prince?"

The Queen's eyes were calm, "Can you find anything suspicious about the Crown Prince?"

The Dali Temple official said, "Your Highness, the case has been closed and there is no doubt."

"The Fourth Miss Wen's letter refers to the Second Miss of the Shen family."

"I asked Imperial Doctor Liu to check that day, and the Second Miss of the Shen Family did not have the Nine-Rank Red Poison on her hands."

"In this case, the murderer is dead, the case is closed."

The queen chuckled and her eyes fell on the Dali Temple Minister.

"I asked you to come here today not to ask about the Crown Prince being shot, but to ask about the fire at Wanfu Temple. Is there any progress?"

"Your Excellency has been investigating for so long, is it possible that you haven't even found out who the arsonist is?"

The Dali Temple Minister was somewhat surprised, "Didn't the Queen ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inform me that this matter would not be investigated?"

"Your Majesty has not yet asked any further questions, and I have only found out some clues."

The Queen asked. "What are the details? Tell me now."

The Dali Temple official said, "On the day the fire started, I led people to the Wanfu Temple to investigate, but unfortunately the chamber where the queen was staying had been reduced to ashes."

"Our people have interrogated the monks of Wanfu Temple, and one of them confessed that on the day of the prayer, a young man in red went to the South Courtyard of Wanfu Temple."

"Looking at his face, he looks like the prince of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, Zhang Huaian."

"What?" The queen's brows suddenly darkened, somewhat puzzled.

"Zhang Huaian?"

If it was Zhang Huaian, how could there be a woman's hairpin left behind?

She looked at the Dali Temple Minister and asked, "Are you sure that the person who went to the south of Wanfu Temple was really Zhang Huaian?"

The Dali Temple official said, "What the monks of Wanfu Temple said is absolutely true. I dare not deceive your majesty."

The Queen's hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly. She pretended to be calm and said, "I understand. My Lord, please go back first."

"It's the lady."

After the Dali Temple Minister saluted the Queen, he turned around and left the East Palace.

In the private room, the queen held a cup of tea in her hand and recalled carefully what had happened in the Dali Temple that day with calm eyes.

She looked at Aunt Zhang beside her. "Go and send someone to find out if Zhang Huaian, the prince of Yongchang Marquis's mansion, has any women with him."

"I have heard some rumors these days, saying that the son of the Zhang family is a homosexual."

"Beside him is a handsome young man, could it be someone else?"

"It's obviously a woman's hairpin."

Aunt Zhang nodded and looked at the Queen, "My Queen, I remember that Young Master Zhang was engaged to Miss Shen before."

"Although the two have called off their engagement, rumors are spreading in Yanjing that the prince of the Yongchang Marquisate was originally in love with the eldest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Li."

"Could it be that..."

Nanny Zhang's words stopped abruptly, and the Queen's eyes changed slightly, as if she felt that there was some truth in it.

Her face was extremely cold. "Go and find out if the eldest daughter of the Shen family went to Wanfu Temple on the day of the prayer. If it is really her, I will make her live a life worse than death."

"If she has been to Wanfu Temple, I will bring her into the palace in a few days, and I will know after a try."

"As for Zhang Huaian, the Zhang family..."

"I have plenty of ways."

"I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go."

"Yes, ma'am."

After receiving the Queen's order, Nanny Zhang turned around and left the private room to do her business.

……

The East Palace was brightly lit at night. After Yu Zian finished giving acupuncture to the prince, he went alone to his own courtyard.

However, after a few days of seeing patients, the guards who had been keeping a close eye on him gradually relaxed their vigilance.

late at night.

After taking care of the prince, Shen Shu returned to her Mingshui Courtyard as usual.

There are only three people in Mingshuiyuan now, two maids and her, and the rest are other maids in charge.

But they were just sweeping the yard and were not often in the yard.

After the East Palace Lantern Festival was extinguished, the Prince's Mansion fell silent.

As usual, Nanny Zhang came to Mingshui Pavilion under the moonlight.

After the incense was lit, Shen Shu, who was sleeping soundly in the private room, began breathing more heavily.

Under the moonlight, a man wearing a black hat pushed open the door of the private room again.

She turned around and looked at Nanny Zhang, then motioned for her to close the door.

Shen Shu was sleeping soundly on the bed. As usual, he took off his clothes and walked straight to the bed.

Not long after, a whimpering sound of a young girl was heard.

But because of the incense, Shen Shu felt dizzy and groggy. Until she smelled a strange scent, she subconsciously wanted to open her eyes.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open her eyes.

The man smiled maliciously and whispered in her ear, "From now on, our child will be the little grandson of the emperor."

After finishing, Lan Ci put on his clothes casually and looked back at Shen Shu lying on the couch.

He curled his lips, turned around and left Mingshuiyuan without looking back.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sound of night watchmen was heard on the street outside the East Palace.

Several maids brought hot water into the private room, cleaned Shen Shu's body, and put her clothes back on.

Everything was done quickly and skillfully.

Lan Ci, escorted by the guards, got on the carriage at the side door of the East Palace.

The next day.

Shen Shu woke up as usual, and the sun had already risen above the treetops.

She propped herself up from the couch with her weak body, only to feel strange pain in her body.

At the collar of the clothes, some bruises could be seen faintly.

She suddenly thought of the strange smell she smelled yesterday, and felt a chill on her back.

"Tian Shuang, Tian Shuang!"

She stood up and hurried to the bronze mirror. Her clothes were neatly arranged in front of her.

However, some kiss marks can be vaguely seen on the neck and chest.

She had been having an affair with the prince for two years, so she naturally understood the matters between men and women.

These traces were definitely left by someone.

Thinking of this, Shen Shu suddenly became flustered.

"Who has been to Mingshuiyuan? Why do I…"

"The prince is unconscious now, it can't be the prince."

"But this is the prince's residence, who is so bold and courageous?"
