Reborn Princess

Cao Shuyi's face was calm. She asked, "Where did this poison come from?"

Doctor Li: "It was lit together with the incense in the incense burner and absorbed into the body. I just found the remaining ash in the incense burner."

It's someone from the palace.

Shen Lilan looked at all the people present. They were all noble ladies who thought highly of themselves. They all came to watch this show, but they didn't know that they had already become chess pieces on the chessboard. They were being manipulated, but they were still complacent.

Zhou Cechen was already angry when he heard that someone wanted to kill Shen Lilan. He said in a deep voice, "Since the person who poisoned Shen Lilan has not been found out yet, everyone present will be taken back to the imperial prison."

As soon as the words fell, everyone panicked.

"Jinzhi, this is against the rules." Zhou Hengyan said.

"Rules?" Zhou Cechen raised his eyelids and said, "I am in charge of the Imperial Prison. I need to arrest the criminals and find the murderer. This is the rule of the Imperial Prison."

Zhou Hengyan felt a headache. If he really sent these people to the imperial prison, the officials at the banquet would definitely attack his good brother. At the court tomorrow, with the words of those censors, Zhou Cechen would not be able to stop them even if he died ten times.

……

That night, it was already dark, and a horse-drawn carriage was traveling on the official road when it was suddenly blocked by a galloping horse.

On horseback, Ye Jianan held the reins and said, "Zhou Jinzhi, what do you mean?"

Words: "Please make way, sir."

"I won't. My sister was arrested for no reason. Doesn't King Ding'an intend to give me an explanation?"

Shen Xilan was a little surprised to hear the familiar voice. He was so bold as to block the palace carriage for Ye Qinghe.

"What kind of explanation does Mr. Ye want?" Zhou Cechen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "My people never need to give explanations to anyone when they do things."

"You!" Ye Jian was speechless for a moment, yet angry.

"Ji'an" an old voice came, Ye Ji'an turned his head and saw his father's carriage.

"No rudeness."

"Today, he arrested eight family members of officials at the banquet and put them in prison without any reason. This is already a disregard for the law. Moreover..."

"That's enough. You should go back and report to your mother."

When Ye Jian heard his father's words, he reluctantly pulled the reins to get out of the official road.

Zhou Cechen said, "Thank you, Marquis Yongyi."

After saying this, Yanci drove away in the carriage.

Ye Jian stared at the direction where the carriage was going, tightly gripping the reins. "Father, why don't you let me get to the bottom of this?"

Ye Chongyi slowly said, "You acted so recklessly today, you should go back and accept the punishment."

"Qing He was spoiled by you and her mother since she was a child. She was raised in seclusion and had no scheming heart. That's why she was schemed against. You should let her know the hearts of people in the capital."

Ye Jian: "Qinghe has me and the Ye family. She doesn't need to know about these intrigues."

Ye Chongyi chuckled and said, "Can you protect her forever?"

The only answer was silence.

"Go back. There is an early court session tomorrow." An old voice came.

……

In the carriage, Shen Lilan sat quietly beside Zhou Cechen.

"Didn't the prince want to ask me?"

Zhou Cechen's eyebrows moved slightly. "I said, I believe you."

"I was the one who ordered people to push that palace maid into the room. I didn't intend to kill her." But they all had to pay back what they owed her in their previous life.

Zhou Cechen didn't expect Shen Lilan to talk to him about this.

No matter what she did, he would be the one to clean up the mess.

"I know." Zhou Cechen said in a low voice.

Shen Lilan's eyelashes trembled, and she looked at Zhou Cechen, "Does the prince know?"

"You have to attend this banquet because you want to marry me. I will naturally ensure that you are safe and sound, and I will not let any dirty words touch you."

Shen Yanlan only felt a sour taste in his nose.

Zhou Cechen's voice was a little hoarse as he continued, "Someone wants to murder you. I will find out. Jiang Xi has been imprisoned. It is up to you to decide how to deal with him."

Shen Lilan: "Lock him up for a few days first."

Zhou Cechen raised his brows slightly after hearing this, but felt a little hot. He clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

"it is good."

Shen Lilan saw him close his eyes and frowned slightly, thinking that he was tired, so he didn't continue talking.

After the carriage arrived at the palace, Zhou Cechen got up the carriage, and his movements were more anxious than before.

Seeing this, Liu Chun tried to help Zhou Cechen off the horse, but was pushed away by Zhou Cechen. “Get out of here!” the man’s voice was hoarse and contained some anger.

As soon as Shen Yanlan opened the curtain of the carriage, he saw this scene.

She seemed to have thought of something.

At this time, Liu Chun was pushed to the ground, with a look of horror on his face.

Zhou Cechen had no time to take care of these. He tried his best to suppress the restlessness in his body and said to Yanci, "Send the princess back." After that, he prepared to go into the mansion first.

Seeing this, the servants followed the instructions in an orderly manner.

As soon as Zhou Cechen turned around, a hand grabbed his wrist.

My hands are cool, very cool and very comfortable.

Shen Xilan felt the burning temperature in her palm. She held that hand tightly and looked up at the forbearing man.

Zhou Cechen lowered his head, and when he saw that pink face, his heart was churning. His Adam's apple rolled and he said in a hoarse voice, "Lan'er, be obedient and go back first. I'll come to see you later."

"You've been taken Chinese medicine." Shen Lilan looked up at Zhou Cechen.

"It's the glass of wine."

Zhou Cechen was filled with restlessness. He took back Shen Lilan's hand and said to her, "You go back first."

After saying this, he walked towards the mansion, his dark green cloak swaying with his steps.

Shen Lilan looked back at the panicked Liu Chun on the ground and said, "Keep an eye on her." Then he said to Yanci and Tang Song, "Go find a doctor."

After saying that, he also left in the direction of Zhou Cechen.

Yanci and Tang Song looked at each other, and Tang Song asked, "Your Majesty, have you taken Chinese medicine?"

Yanci nodded and said, "Go find a doctor."

Tang Song immediately mounted his horse, whipped it and galloped away.

……

At Songmoju, Zhou Cechen was stopped by Shen Lilan as soon as he stepped into the yard.

He was surprised to see Shen Lilan. He tried his best to hold his breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Shen Lilan, since you know I'm taking Chinese medicine, you should stay away from me."

"I can help you." The words came out of his mouth, but they both were stunned. Zhou Cechen paused and Shen Lilan pursed her lips. She didn't expect that she would say this.

Indeed, she was willing.

Zhou Cechen's expression changed slightly. He paused, then pulled out his hand and walked into the room.

Seeing the door of the room being closed, Shen Xilan blocked the door that was about to close.

Zhou Cechen's eyelids twitched. She was really not afraid of being hurt by herself. If he had used more force, her hand would have been pinched by the door.

"I'm serious." Shen Xilan supported the door with one hand and continued to speak to Zhou Cechen to prove the credibility of her words.

She was answered with silence.

Just when Shen Xilan was about to speak again, she was pulled into the room by Zhou Cechen.

The room was dark, and without any candles, all Shen Lilan could see was complete darkness.

Unable to see clearly, what was magnified were the senses of touch and hearing. Shen Xilan leaned against the door panel and heard Zhou Cechen's slightly rapid and heavy breathing. She also smelled the fresh scent of cypress and pine mixed with a hint of wine on his body.
