On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Tonight is the same as last night. You will stay in the mansion."

Lian Zhao raised his eyebrows, having already guessed about 70% of the answer.

Ever since the rumors started spreading these days, there have been fewer people on the streets.

Being in the Cen Mansion was just like being in the Shen Mansion. He either practiced martial arts or calligraphy all day long, but there was one thing missing -

There had been no women living in the Cen Mansion before, so there were no embroidered items, which inevitably made the place look a bit dull.

"Where is Shen Wantang?" In the afternoon, Cen Xiao took a bag of things and came to the corridor of Shen Wantang's room mysteriously.

Qing'e came hurriedly: "Miss is practicing calligraphy."

"Just right." Cen Xiao smiled happily and then walked into the room. Qing'e couldn't stop him.

"Look what I brought you." Cen Xiao walked straight in and handed over what was at hand.

Shen Wantang slowly raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Zhenbei Hou's son, when did you start paying attention to these things that girls only play with?"

I only saw a box in front of me, filled with various embroidery patterns. Even the silk threads inside were of first-class quality.

"This yard is boring, so I found some things for you. I asked around and they all said that girls like them. I thought you would like them too."

Cen Xiao's voice was a little low, and his face turned red with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Qing'e, who had been watching for a long time, said sarcastically: "Your Highness really took a lot of trouble, but our young lady is not an ordinary girl."

Shen Wantang did not speak, but slowly closed the box: "Qing'e is a talkative person, so don't take it to heart, my lord."

"Thank you very much, Prince." Shen Wantang threw a look at Qing'e beside him, and then Qing'e took the box away.

But judging from Cen Xiao's look, he definitely didn't come just to give you the box.

Shen Wantang glanced around and then dismissed the people around him.

"Sir, can you tell me now why you came to look for me?"

Shen Wantang sat down slowly, poured a cup of tea and slowly passed it to Cen Xiao.

Talking to intelligent people is never difficult.

The embarrassment on Cen Xiao's face disappeared instantly, and instead he showed a hint of regret that his plan had failed.

"It seems that nothing can escape Miss Shen's discerning eyes." He sat down slowly, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

When he raised his head again, his brows were already furrowed: "Can Lian Zhao really be used?"

This was a question that Shen Wantang had been pondering for a long time.

If it were according to his previous life, when Lian Zhao returned to Rong State, he would definitely fight with the royal family. Although Lian Zhao appeared to be unrestrained on the surface, he was actually sinister and vicious in his heart, and it was unknown whether he would be able to seize the throne.

It would be a good idea to make friends with a future king of a prosperous country at this time.

But... who can guarantee that Lian Zhao can really become the monarch of Rong State?

"What do you think, Prince?" Shen Wantang thought for a moment and threw the question back to Cen Xiao.

When Cen Xiao asked the question just now, he already had the answer in his mind. The lamp was spinning in front of him, but suddenly it stopped.

"If we help him ascend the throne of Rongguo, will he treat us with courtesy in the future?"

Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows and no longer concealed his thoughts.

Since Cen Xiao dared to say so, this must be what the eldest prince meant. Shen Wantang's eyes flashed and he smiled calmly: "Since His Highness also has this idea, I will naturally follow him until death."

into the night.

A black figure leaped out from the Proton Palace and disappeared into the darkness.

“Knock, knock, knock—”

There was a knock on the door, and Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao's eyes narrowed.

"Miss Shen's escape trick is really amazing."

Seeing the two, Lian Zhao took off his cloak, revealed an ambiguous smile, and said teasingly: "You have fooled the entire capital city. I wonder if your heroic and wise Majesty really believes your lies?"

Shen Wantang and Cen Xiao did not say anything, but opened the door and welcomed Lian Zhao in.

"Why are you two both silent today? I remember that Prince Cen used to be very good at saying sarcastic words. Why is it that today..."

Lian Zhao stopped walking as he heard the sound. He looked at the man sitting in the hall with a frown on his face.

This man's eyebrows are somewhat similar to Ji Xunchuan, but he is not as mean as Ji Xunchuan.

Lian Zhao turned around and looked at the two people behind him with a puzzled look.

"I guess this must be the thirteenth prince of Rong State, His Highness Lian Zhao." Ji Xunze stood up, his voice as gentle as jade. Although it was winter, it really made people feel like spring breeze when listening to it.

Lian Zhao raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and respectfully performed the Rongguo Salute: "Forgive my poor eyesight, I really can't tell, who are you, sir?"

Cen Xiao came forward slowly: "This is the eldest prince of the previous dynasty."

As the words fell, a hint of shock slowly appeared on Lian Zhao's cold face.

He looked at Shen Wantang beside him with disbelief, and when he saw her nod, Lian Zhao came back to his senses and put on a polite smile: "The eldest prince, you are indeed very impressive."

"It's just that I heard that several princes of the previous dynasty died one after another due to various reasons. How come the eldest prince is standing in front of me like this now? Could it be..."

Although he agreed on the surface, Lian Zhao was still suspicious in his heart.

"In troubled times, only those who survive can seek a way out. Your Highness, sometimes, what you hear may not be the truth." Ji Xunze smiled indifferently.

Looking at the attitude of these people today, Lian Zhao guessed something. He was not in a hurry to refuse, but he was actually looking forward to it in his heart.

"Looking at the eldest prince's appearance, he must have been waiting for a long time. It's my fault for being slow." Lian Zhao walked forward slowly and sat down.

Ji Xunze still maintained a polite smile: "No, since I am waiting here, I am sure that His Highness will come."

Several people took their seats one after another, but no one broke the window paper, which made Lian Zhao really itchy.

"Now that the eldest prince has returned to the human world, he must be here to seek revenge, right?" Lian Zhao raised a smile, "But your revenge is really too big a list. If you are not careful, it may cost you your head."

"Your Highness Lian Zhao, my Highness is waiting here today to discuss this matter with you."

Cen Xiao interrupted Lian Zhao at the right time. If he continued talking like this, he would probably say all kinds of nonsense.

Hearing this, Lian Zhao pretended to be surprised, his eyes widened: "Me? Are you kidding me, Prince? I'm just a hostage, how can I help? Don't make fun of me."

As he spoke, he raised the cup to conceal the suspicion in his eyes.

However, Shen Wantang saw this almost undetectable expression. She smiled calmly and said slowly, "Your Highness, don't you want to return to Rongguo?"
