The reborn elder sister has gone crazy with killing, and there is a crying monster behind her

Shen Qingxu didn't understand either.

However, facing Xiao Qi's heartfelt words, she nodded sincerely, indicating that she had learned her lesson: "I understand, brother-in-law, what should we do from now on?"

Facing this little girl, Xiao Qi also treated Shen Qingxu as a junior and took care of her.

He left Shen Qiuchi when he was still a baby, and it was not easy for him to grow up away from home, but he never complained and remained optimistic and positive.

A few years ago, Shen Qiuchi missed his sister. They passed by Liangcheng and took a look at her from afar. They played happily by the river, innocently.

Because of Shen Qiuchi, Xiao Qi also felt a little proud. After all, he had grown up with Shen Qiuchi, and he had gained some psychological support. Shen Qiuchi was only one year older than his son, so he also had more fatherly care.

Watching Shen Qingxu's character gradually grow, I always feel a sense of gratitude that my daughter has grown up.

Xiao Qi also told Shen Qingxu what happened behind the scenes on their journey south.

Shen Qingxu felt very sorry for the death of the dwarf kidnapper. She had expressed her feelings to Shen Qiuchi before and hoped that Shen Qiuchi could find the dwarf kidnapper's family and settle them down. After all, the dwarf kidnapper had saved her when she was in danger.

But Xiao Qi told Shen Qingxu that they went to investigate the dwarf kidnapper and those men in black. There was no clue about the men in black at first, but now they knew that they were from the Xiao family. However, the dwarf kidnapper actually took two orders when he kidnapped Shen Qingxu. The other one was from the Gongsun family, but his purpose was unknown.

"You have to be careful about who approaches you."

"Brother-in-law, I understand. I will be careful."

Shen Qingxu was not stupid, knowing that the dwarf kidnappers' other employer was from the Gongsun family. She knew that Gongsun Jiayan must have had a purpose in approaching her, but now was not the time to break up with her. She wanted to see what Gongsun Jiayan's purpose was in coming to confuse her.

Shen Qiuchi didn't wake up until the next day. Children in the palace have had wet nurses by their side since birth, so the little princess didn't need Shen Qiuchi to feed her personally. However, although Shen Qiuchi was not a first-time mother, her child was hard-earned, so she still wanted to breastfeed her personally. From then on, Xiao Qi was as busy as a top.

Today, Shen Qiuchi has experienced the life-and-death situation during childbirth. She understands that life is only a few decades long. Why should she be timid? Why shouldn't she dare to favor her relatives openly?

She did not announce Shen Qingxu's affairs to the world. So many people came to kidnap her secretly. It would be better for her to pamper her sister openly and let her be the most honorable daughter in Daliang.

Shen Qiuchi decided to make up for the lack of family affection in those years among her children, Shen Qingxu.

Xiao Qi:.......

"Sister, are you feeling better?"

Although she was the queen, she still could not escape the fate of having to stay in confinement for a period of 20 days. She originally wanted to follow the ancient rules and stay in confinement for 20 days, but this move made Xiao Qi and Shen Qingxu oppose it. The two of them stood on the same front this time and forcibly fixed her on the big bed in Fengyi Palace. She had to stay in confinement for a full 42 days before she was allowed to leave the bed.

"I feel like I've been fed like a pig by you guys these past two days. If I keep eating like this, I won't be able to wear my original clothes anymore!"

"Sister, it's not that I have to imprison you here, but you have to think about your body!"

"Sister is in good health. Xu Xingyi was beaten to a pulp by sister."

"Oh, my queen, please let Xu Xingyi go. He has been suffering for a long time."

"No, it's his fault that my sister taught Xu Xingyi a lesson."

Shen Qiuchi felt extremely happy being surrounded by the care of her husband and sister.

However, this did not make her give up her government affairs. Basically, Xiao Qi would discuss important court affairs with her after returning from court and share interesting stories from the court meetings. Shen Qingxu never cared about such things.

Only when the couple discuss and consult with each other can the family be harmonious.

Shen Qingxu left Fengyi Palace silently.

After forty-two days of confinement, Shen Qiuchi actually felt like she had seen the light of day again, as if she had lived a new life!

After his body functions gradually recovered, Shen Qiuchi immediately went to the Military Education Department to supervise the palace craftsmen to complete the manufacture of the waterwheel. During this period of time, King Liang had been submitting memorials, saying that Jinzhou was suffering from drought, the crop harvest was very poor, and the people were suffering, and he requested the court to allocate funds for disaster relief.

Shen Qiuchi had already finished her confinement and her face looked rosy. Xiao Qi then told her what Shen Qingxu had encountered when she went south.

Shen Qiuchi glanced at Xiao Qi. Doesn't this person care the most about his relatives who eat for free? Why is he putting these things in front of her?

"If it is true as you said, that those people in the Xiao family had the possibility of inheriting the throne, who do you think had the greatest hope of inheriting it? Or, who was the one who hid the most potential?"

"I'm not too sure, but I heard from my grandmother that the emperor's favorite son is Prince Liang. I think Prince Liang is the least likely to be born in an imperial family. He is a man of temperament."

"Haha, a man of temperament!" Shen Qiuchi placed the memorial on the table in front of Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi took it and quickly read through it, then looked at Shen Qiuchi with a look of "as expected".

Well, he was sloppy again.

"Alas, but didn't Uncle Wang declare to the public that he would not take care of things after he went to his fiefdom?" Xiao Qi asked in confusion, "The death of Princess Yuehua made him leave his fiefdom. He had long been saying that his heart was dead."

"Then your Xiao family is really full of romantic people, right?"

"Our Xiao family......"

"But look at the frequent memorials submitted nowadays, which also state that they need the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief. Is this really for the sake of the imperial court? Or is there another intention behind this?"

"If that's the case, Uncle Wang does have some problems."

"Qingxu was kidnapped this time and nearly met with disaster. Combined with the last assassination attempt and your injury a few years ago, the kung fu styles and methods of these men in black are basically the same."

"Qiuchi, you have a point."

"What you care about may not be what others care about. In that assassination, every blow is aimed at taking your life."

"I know, but I never thought that he would want to kill me, and I didn't expect he would hide so deeply." Xiao Qi sighed, "I don't actually want to be him either." When he was young, he admired Shen Qiuchi and was willing to give up everything for Shen Qiuchi, but Shen Qiuchi loved power and status, and wanted to climb to that high position to change the injustice in the world.

Xiao Qi's love for Shen Qiuchi is not mixed with any conspiracy or conflict of interest. He just wants to be with Shen Qiuchi, even if they are just an ordinary farming couple, he is willing.

Shen Qiuchi has always had a keen sense of danger towards things that are beyond her control. Her people in Jinzhou have not sent back any news. Either her people have been instigated or killed, or King Liang has passed on false news just to trick the waterwheel out.

"If you are still unwilling, then let's see if it is him." Shen Qiuchi looked at Xiao Qi's lowered eyes, "But no matter which one it is, this is not good news."

Xiao Qi fell into deep thought. Now that he was the emperor, and he was not bragging, with the assistance of his wife Shen Qiuchi, he could truly be called a wise ruler!

Except for not expanding the harem, which was criticized by the old ministers of various noble families, everything else he did was worthy of the people of the world.

There are few people of his generation alive now.

His father's brothers were quite submissive to him. If there really was anyone with a gloomy personality who wanted to usurp the throne, he couldn't think of him at the moment.

Only his uncle, Prince Liang, who lives far away in Jinzhou, is confused because of Princess Yuehua. Now he submits memorials frequently for no apparent reason. According to what Shen Qiuchi said, there are some clues, but he still can't figure it out.

Shen Qiuchi saw Xiao Qi was in a daze and hadn't spoken for a long time, so he said, "The people in Jinzhou have not sent back any news, but King Liang has repeatedly submitted memorials. Do you think there is something strange about this?"

"The last time Qingxu was kidnapped, it was because of the blueprints of the Thousand Machines Technique, and your master came back and gave you the blueprints of the flying car. If there is really a change in Jinzhou, why don't we build the flying car first, so that we can explore the situation in Jinzhou more quickly."

What Xiao Qi said made sense, and it was exactly what Shen Qiuchi was thinking.

However, her husband, although he was the emperor, was not ruthless enough.

Moreover, connecting all the events together, Prince Liang might be the one causing the unexpected change. Although Prince Liang and Xiao Qi were both maintaining superficial harmony between the uncle and nephew, and always looked like they loved beauty more than the country, a member of the royal family who went far away must be doing something shameful or planning something!

A prince with power equal to that of the late emperor, who seldom returned to the court to see the emperor, would not, as he said, really give up all his heart for Princess Yuehua. No one would believe him if he said he was hurt by love and stayed away from sad places.

Now that the border is in turmoil and the purge in the court is almost complete, he should be anxious. No matter what, they must be on guard now.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from Your Majesty. The blueprint of the flying car that Master gave me was originally intended to be made for us to use, but the influence of the Thousand Machines Technique is too great, and it has put Qingxu in trouble time and time again. So I thought, forget it for now."

Xiao Qi nodded. Shen Qiuchi was right. She didn’t know that Shen Qingxu was in danger and almost didn’t come back alive several times!

In order to reassure Shen Qiuchi and to protect the people around him from being punished, and because Shen Qiuchi is a protective person, he loses his sense of propriety when it comes to Shen Qingxu.

So he must think carefully before making any plans.

"Speaking of which, I do have an idea. Would Qiuchi like to hear it?"

Xiao Qi hugged Shen Qiuchi's waist, letting him lean against his chest to feel more comfortable, while Shen Qiuchi was too lazy to move, and even found a comfortable posture: "I'm all ears."

"I will first issue an imperial decree to summon Prince Liang back to the capital, using the excuse of escorting disaster relief grain and grass, and also deliver the irrigation water truck he requested. If he comes back, then this matter is true, and there is nothing to doubt. But if he does not come back, it means that the drought and disaster are all false information, and Prince Liang has ulterior motives!"

"This is a great plan!"

Xiao Qi's words were recognized by Shen Qiuchi. Shen Qiuchi's face was full of joy. She looked at Xiao Qi with a bright look, and there was approval in her eyes!

In her previous life, Shen Qiuchi, even though she became the queen, was still arbitrary and used almost all strategies to achieve her initial success.

It is also possible that the death of her younger sister Shen Qingxu became the first straw that broke the camel's back and made her turn evil. She had almost no emotions and was able to kill anyone who stood in her way. Although she had made spectacular achievements, most of her achievements were not accepted by the aristocratic families and high-ranking officials. After all, at least half of all the policies she implemented directly affected the interests of the aristocratic families and high-ranking officials!

For example, monogamy, for example, women can divorce their husbands, but the power in the noble families and officials is basically held by men. Even in her previous life, when she started as a female official, she did not obey many people in secret. There were also many people who privately looked down on women holding official positions and secretly put a lot of obstacles in the way of Shen Qiuchi.
