Shen Li reached out and held Shen Mi in her arms, saying distressedly: "Mi'er, it's okay, you worry too much."

"Sister is feeling much better now. I will protect you from now on."

But the more Shen Li said this, the more uneasy Shen Mi felt.

She said, "Sister, you should rest first. Mi'er wants to go back to sleep."

"Okay, Mi'er, don't think too much."

"kindness."

After Shen Mi returned to Lanyue Courtyard, he sat in front of the window and looked at the chessboard in front of him.

Now that the King of Qi has been demoted to a commoner, he will probably leave Yanjing City in the next two days.

She had to find a way to learn the prince's secret from the King of Qi.

But in the past two days, she has become increasingly anxious and uneasy, as if she feels that something big is about to happen in the Shen family.

Now that Lin is in the side courtyard, there shouldn’t be any trouble.

But she always felt that something was missed.

……

Early summer is slowly arriving in Yanjing.

The noble ladies of Yanjing City have already prepared their summer dresses.

The inner courtyard of the Shen Mansion was filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and the Lanyue Courtyard was even more full of life.

Shen Mi lay on the couch, looking at the vase of flowers by the window, and slowly stood up.

There were footsteps outside the door. As soon as Shen Mi got up, Yun Lan rushed in.

"Miss, the King of Qi has already left Yanjing City."

Shen Mi got out of bed and took out some silver from the cabinet.

"I'll change my clothes and we'll go see the King of Qi."

"Yes, miss."

After Shen Mi changed her clothes and put on a gauze veil, she got on the carriage through the side door and went directly to the gate of Yanjing.

Outside the city of Yanjing, several soldiers in official uniforms were urging a man in plain clothes in front of them.

"Hurry up, we have to leave Yanzhou before dark."

The King of Qi had disheveled hair and looked at the soldiers behind him with hatred in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said nothing.

A cool summer breeze blew, and he slowly turned his head to look at the gate of Yanjing City, and suddenly smiled bitterly.

It only took a day for a high and mighty prince to become a commoner.

The miserable laughter made the officers and soldiers behind him gasp.

"Hurry up, do you think you are still a prince?"

The King of Qi raised his head and smiled bitterly, unwilling to look away for a long time.

Suddenly I turned around and saw a familiar figure in the light and shadow in the distance.

A girl in purple clothes and a gauze hat got off the carriage.

The King of Qi looked carefully and saw that the person was none other than Shen Mi.

After Shen Mi got off the carriage, he directly asked Yun Lan to take money to bribe the officers and soldiers.

"I would like to speak to your Highness."

The soldier weighed the silver in his hand and said impatiently, "Okay, girl, hurry up."

In the breeze, the King of Qi looked up at Shen Mi and sneered, "So, it's you who came to see me off."

"Shen Mi, did you reveal Wen Wan's affairs to Ning Yuanhou Mansion?"

Shen Mi pursed her lips and smiled calmly: "Your Highness Prince Qi, I came here today to take back something that belonged to my sister Shen Li, a colored glaze hairpin."

"This hairpin was left by my mother. Please return it to me, Your Highness."

"As for the tragic death of Miss Wen that you mentioned, it has nothing to do with me."

Shen Mi slowly approached the King of Qi and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, think carefully about your affairs. Besides you, do you want others to know about it?"

The King of Qi's face froze and he looked at her in disbelief.

"What do you mean?"

Shen Mi said calmly: "If you are willing to return my sister's glass hairpin to me, I will tell His Highness what I know."

"Sister, the hairpin is very precious to her. I must take it away today."

The King of Qi tremblingly took out a glass hairpin from his sleeve.

"This is the token of love that Zhang Huaian gave to Shen Li. Anyone who said it's your mother's is lying!"

When Shen Mi saw that the King of Qi refused to give it to her, she became interested.

Coming to get the hairpin is just an excuse.

The real thing is to reveal the information to the King of Qi.

She sighed and said, "If the King of Qi doesn't give it to me, then forget it. Just pretend that I didn't hear anything in front of my father's study."

The King of Qi's expression suddenly changed. He tightened his hairpin and strode towards Shen Mi.

“What did you know?”

Shen Mi said quietly, "Your Highness, you have always kept the matter of embezzling military pay from the Ministry of War a secret. How could you report it to His Majesty? Could it be that someone knew about it in advance and reported it to His Majesty?"

"I heard a conversation outside my father's study. A few days before the accident, the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion and Minister Liu each received a letter. The handwriting in the letter was very special."

The King of Qi trembled slightly and looked at Shen Mi in disbelief.

"How special? Tell me!"

Shen Mi suddenly smiled and looked at the King of Qi: "Your Highness, if you ask me to tell you, I must tell you?"

"I thought about telling you, it's not impossible."

"If Your Highness is willing to give me the hairpin, I will tell Your Highness."

The King of Qi was a little impatient. He picked up the blue glass hairpin in his hand, looked at it for a moment, and then threw it into Shen Mi's arms.

"Here's the hairpin for you, tell me now!"

Shen Mi put away the hairpin, her expression calm and natural.

"Since Your Highness has returned the hairpin to me, I, Shen Mi, am also a trustworthy person. Now that Your Highness has been demoted to a commoner, I think it would be fine for you to know."

"The handwriting in this letter is so strong that it can be seen through the paper. Most importantly, there is a red seal on the top of the letter and a black eagle mark at the end of the letter."

As soon as the cold voice fell, the King of Qi took a step back and muttered, "No, it's impossible."

“It can’t be the prince.”

Shen Mi pretended to be innocent, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, you mean the Crown Prince?"

"The prince and Your Highness have always been on good terms, how could he harm Your Highness?"

"Did you offend the prince?"

The King of Qi thought of the assassins he met in Zuixianju and suddenly burst into laughter.

He was unkempt and looked miserable and ridiculous.

"I know, hahahaha, I'm such a fool!"

"I thought we could support each other, but I didn't expect that he had already wanted to kill me!"

Shen Mi deliberately asked doubtfully: "Crown Prince? That's impossible."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is handsome and outstanding, a kind-hearted gentleman. How could he harm you?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not that kind of person. Your Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, you must have misunderstood him."

King Qi looked at Shen Mi, who now looked innocent, and smiled bitterly.

"Shen Mi, I forgot that you go to the Queen's bedroom all day long. Could it be that you have already fallen in love with the Crown Prince?"

"Hahahaha, you are the biggest fool! Hahaha."

Shen Mi held the hairpin and deliberately asked: "King Qi, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't stir up trouble in front of me. The prince is not that kind of person. It's useless for you to stir up trouble."

The King of Qi grinned and said, "Hahahaha, Shen Mi, you Shen family are all big fools."

"You still like him and go out of your way to please the queen. Hahahaha, you fool!"

"Since you like him, why don't you go to the underground prison in the East Palace and see what's there, hahahaha, you idiot!"

The man laughed loudly towards the sky, then turned around and walked forward.

Shen Mi frowned slightly, looking at the now insane King Qi. Just as he was about to step forward to ask for clarification, the soldiers behind him walked out from not far away.

"Girl, it's time."

Shen Mi stood there in a daze. Eastern Palace, underground prison?

Looking at the back of King Qi leaving, Shen Mi took a deep breath.

Eastern Palace Prison, why had she never heard of it in her previous life?

Yun Lan came out from behind and said, "Miss, if you tell the King of Qi about this today, I'm afraid he will find out something is wrong when he notices it."

"On the contrary, they will investigate you."

Shen Mi took the hairpin in her hand and handed it to Yun Lan, "Pawn this hairpin."

"This is not a relic left by my mother, nor is it a token of love that Zhang Huaian gave to my sister."

"I deliberately let someone reveal this hairpin to the King of Qi. I never thought that the King of Qi really thought it was a token of love from Zhang Huaian to my sister, so he took the hairpin from my sister."

Shen Mi looked at the figure walking away and sneered, "You came here to ask for the hairpin, but you are here to trick me."

"The King of Qi and the Crown Prince have always had a close relationship. If the Crown Prince writes to the King of Qi, I'm afraid everything I said will be exposed."

"The conversation I heard in my father's study is all fake, and the letter is also fake."

There was a chill in her eyes. "Think of a way to make the King of Qi die of illness on the way to exile."

"I now know that there is an underground prison in the Prince's Palace. If I keep the King of Qi, I will be exposed sooner or later."

Yun Lan nodded, "Yes, Miss."

"The King of Qi tried to defile the young lady at Zuixianju that day. Now that he is dead, it can be considered as paying back his debt."

Shen Mi's eyes changed slightly. In the previous life, Shen Li was killed by King Qi himself.

She was afraid that the King of Qi would make a comeback one day.
