The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Gu Ruxiao swallowed nervously and pretended to be calm.

"Brother, I don't know what you are talking about. You know, the relationship between me and the Royal Sister-in-law has always been bad. If you insist on blaming me for being disrespectful to her, I can't help it."

Gu Beihuai raised his eyebrows slightly, looking a little surprised.

I didn't expect that Gu Ruxiao, who was always straightforward, would also lie in a roundabout way.

In fact, Gu Ruxiao had already broken out in cold sweat on his back, and he could no longer withstand Gu Beihuai's gaze that could see through people's hearts.

When she was a child, she was very attached to Gu Beihuai, but she was also a little afraid of him, because when he became serious, she could not hide anything from him.

Same now.

"Emperor's sister-in-law..." Gu Beihuai repeated these two words slowly and coldly, and suddenly smiled.

"Ruxiao, just based on these two words, there is no need for you to hide it anymore."

Gu Ruxiao was panicking, but remembering Shen Qingyan's instructions, he could only calm down and said, "Brother, I really don't know what you are talking about..."

"You never called me 'Yan'er' before." Gu Beihuai interrupted her coldly, "I heard your conversation that day. Did you tell me yourself, or did I tell my mother to interrogate you together?"

Gu Ruxiao was anxious. If the Queen knew about this, she would definitely stand on Gu Beihuai's side and interrogate her.

She pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, if you want to know, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Shen Qingyan directly? Why do you have to catch me alone to ask?"

Gu Beihuai leaned back slightly, his back against the chair, his expression calm.

"Because I don't want to scare her."

Gu Ruxiao was so angry that she laughed, "Royal brother, am I still your royal sister? You are afraid of scaring her, but you are not afraid of scaring me?!"

Gu Beihuai looked at her expressionlessly, as if asking, "Are you afraid of being scared?"

Well, Gu Ruxiao admitted that except for her own royal brother, she had never been afraid of anyone since she was a child. She was the one who scared others, and even if there were others, they would be intimidated by her identity.

Gu Beihuai tapped his knuckles on the tabletop, his tone growing colder, "Say it, or not."

Gu Ruxiao shrank his neck and muttered softly, "Brother, why are you interrogating me like a criminal? Isn't it okay for me to say it?"

"Isn't it just cooperating with Shen Qingyan to deal with Gu Chenan? What other secrets could there be?"

Gu Beihuai frowned suddenly. To deal with Gu Chenan?

"To deal with him, I alone am enough. Otherwise, Yan'er can discuss it with me. There is no need to cooperate with you."

Gu Ruxiao: “…”

Okay, okay, she is just so unpopular, right?

So she protested in dissatisfaction, "You guys are ganging up on me, right? No one of you wants to pay attention to me."

Faced with Gu Ruxiao's willfulness and naivety, Gu Beihuai had to soften his tone.

"This prince does not want you to get involved. As I said before, this prince alone is enough to deal with Gu Chenan."

Now that Yan'er is in the same camp with him, he has nothing to worry about and can just go for it.

Gu Ruxiao sighed and muttered to himself, "But I can't just do nothing, right?"

Otherwise, this life would be reborn in vain.

Gu Beihuai had already stood up and said without turning his head, "If you really have nothing to do, then chat with your mother more to relieve her boredom, stabilize her body and mind, and give her something to do."

Don't keep an eye on him all day.

Gu Ruxiao was puzzled, "Did you discuss this? Why do you care so much about the Queen Mother?"

"Ok?"

Before Gu Beihuai could ask the next question, he heard noise coming from outside.

His expression changed, and he immediately said, "Remember what I said."

Then he hurriedly left through the side door.

As soon as he left, a voice saying "The Queen has arrived" was heard.

Gu Ruxiao immediately stood up to greet her, "Mother, why are you here?"

The queen didn't even look at her, but searched around the palace.

"Where's Bei Huai?"

Gu Ruxiao explained: "My brother just left."

The queen's eyes were full of disappointment, and her tone was somewhat reproachful, "Why don't you stay in Beihuai for a while longer?"

Gu Ruxiao was slightly startled, then lowered his eyes and whispered, "So mother came here for my brother."

The queen was startled and immediately held her hand.

"Xiao'er, you also know that your mother can only see your brother a few times a month. Now I heard that he is in your house, so I came to see him."

Gu Ruxiao nodded, and when she looked up again, her eyes had returned to their usual lively and playful look.

"I understand, mother. Next time, I will definitely keep you a little longer."

The queen hummed absentmindedly and looked towards the entrance of the mansion, wondering what she was thinking.

----

Shen Qingyan happily picked up a full bowl of food for Gu Beihuai, but found that he had no intention of picking up his chopsticks.

"Your Majesty, don't you like to eat?"

Gu Beihuai quickly came back to his senses, looking at the bowl of pigeon soup in front of him, and another bowl filled with Shen Qingyan's love, with a gentle tone.

"No."

Shen Qingyan smiled brightly, "Then I will feed the prince."

As he said this, he served the pigeon soup.

Gu Beihuai frowned slightly, but still obediently drank the spoonful of soup handed to him by Shen Qingyan.

He didn't drink it before, but perhaps because Shen Qingyan fed him personally, he felt that the taste was surprisingly delicious, different from what he had imagined.

After dinner, Shen Qingyan stayed in Gu Beihuai's arms and refused to leave.

"Don't you have anything to ask me, Your Majesty?"

He should have a lot to ask her about what happened today.

Gu Beihuai's eyes were still on the official business of the Ministry of War. Hearing this, he said calmly: "You will naturally say what you want to say. Even if you don't say it, this prince can guess it."

Through Jia Niu's words, he knew Shen Qingyan's whole purpose.

There was just one thing he didn't understand: how did she know that he was in danger?

Shen Qingyan looked a little disappointed, and her little hands were poking at his abdominal muscles restlessly.

"Ok."

Gu Beihuai put down the pen in his hand.

"Can Yan'er answer whatever the king asks?"

"Of course." Seeing that Gu Beihuai had no intention of resisting, Shen Qingyan's movements became bolder. While talking, she changed from poking to touching. The feeling was so good that she couldn't help but want to put her little hand in.

She suddenly understood the mentality of the romantic young men in the novels.

Who doesn't like a good figure? This is true for both men and women.

Gu Beihuai had no choice but to grab her hand and stare into her eyes.

"But if I want to ask you something, you may not answer."

Shen Qingyan, who was caught, did not feel guilty at all. Instead, she met his eyes with a smile.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will tell you everything I know."

"Okay." Gu Beihuai said with a serious expression, emphasizing each word, "I want to know why you, who used to firmly like Gu Chen'an, now not only hate him so much, but also cooperate with Ruxiao to take revenge on him?"

"This king wants to hear the truth."

Shen Qingyan's smile froze at this moment.

Gu Beihuai looked straight at her, not giving her any chance to dodge.

----

Qingmei felt that something subtle seemed to have happened between the princess and the prince. The princess had not been sticking to the prince for two days.

The prince hasn't come to Yuxuan Courtyard for two days.
