So Gu Chenan pretended not to hear and turned to look at the scenery in the distance.

Shen Yunjiao's voice gradually faded away, and soon a scream was heard, but her mouth was quickly blocked.

No one on the cruise ship dared to breathe, fearing that they would be the next to suffer.

Shen Qingyan and Gu Ruxiao exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.

Shen Qingyan left on the pretext of changing clothes, and not long after, Gu Ruxiao also left with an excuse.

In the room of the cruise ship, Shen Qingyan fell into deep thought.

No wonder Gu Ruxiao is a little different from his previous life. It is very likely that the two of them have had the same experience.

All of this has to wait for Gu Ruxiao to say it in person.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Is your Highness here? Our princess would like to learn martial arts from you."

Sure enough, it came!

Shen Qingyan motioned Qingmei to open the door.

Gu Ruxiao walked in hurriedly, and with a look, everyone retreated and stood guard at the door.

Shen Qingyan poured her a cup of tea without asking any questions.

Don't rush to expose yourself until all speculations are confirmed.

Gu Ruxiao, however, lost his temper and spoke first, his tone full of contempt and coldness.

"Shen Qingyan, stop pretending. You've also been reborn, right?"

Shen Qingyan shook her head secretly after hearing this. Although Gu Ruxiao had changed compared to his previous life, he was still as impulsive.

"Why are you so sure, Princess?"

Gu Ruxiao snorted, "Because this princess has enough confidence, it's that simple."

Shen Qingyan drank her tea nonchalantly, and her words touched Gu Ruxiao's heart.

"If the princess is so confident, why was she sent to marry a foreign prince in her previous life?"

After hearing this, Gu Ruxiao slammed the table and stood up.

"Shen Qingyan, you are so outrageous!"

"You still have the nerve to say that about me. I wonder who was made into a human pig and whose fate was even worse than mine."

Shen Qingyan was not angry because this was the fact.

She took a sip of tea leisurely and said calmly, "Now, Princess, do you know why you lost in your previous life?"

"you……"

Gu Ruxiao was stunned for a moment, then calmed down instantly.

A single word awakened the dreamer. All the resentment and hatred in the previous life were pointed out by Shen Qingyan's words.

She is too impulsive.

In his previous life, because he couldn't stand Shen Yunjiao, he embarrassed her in public many times, causing her to hold a grudge against him.

Similarly, she did not like her brother Gu Chen'an, so she never gave him face and often went against him, which accelerated her fate of being forced to marry.

Thinking of this, Gu Ruxiao took a deep breath and said to Shen Qingyan: "Let's cooperate."

This was Shen Qingyan's original plan, but she did not completely trust Gu Ruxiao. Firstly, it was because of her impulsive and domineering personality, and secondly, because she would never trust anyone easily again after living her life over again.

So she threw the question back.

"How does the princess want to cooperate?"

Gu Ruxiao said without hesitation: "Of course, it is to kill Shen Yunjiao, prevent Gu Chenan from sitting on the throne, and let this princess's biological brother take the throne."

"Does the princess have any specific plans?"

Gu Ruxiao was stunned again. This was just her purpose and she had never thought about any plans.

Shen Qingyan smiled slightly, stood up and said: "I understand what the princess means. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. If the princess has a specific plan, we can discuss this matter again in three days."

After saying that, he left the room first.

Looking at Shen Qingyan's graceful departure, a hint of surprise flashed across Gu Ruxiao's eyes.

Shen Qingyan, the emperor's sister-in-law whom he had always looked down upon, was really different from in his previous life. It seemed that he had to make changes too.

At the same time, after Shen Yunjiao was punished with a hundred lashes of red, she held on to her last breath and was carried back to the Shen Mansion.

It is impossible for Gu Ruxiao to really beat someone to death. After all, Shen Yunjiao is the daughter of Prime Minister Shen Pinghe. Beating her to death will only do harm to her and no good.

The lake cruise party did not end there, but continued.

On the men's boat, someone suggested a competition, and the emperor was in a good mood, so he naturally agreed.

Gu Chenan quietly stepped back, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

He seemed fine on the surface, but in fact he was covered in injuries. These were not external injuries but internal ones. If he made any big movements, it would be even more painful.

Gu Beihuai had noticed his actions a long time ago and naturally had no intention of letting him go.

"I heard that my brother's swordsmanship has become much more sophisticated. I wonder if I would have the honor to learn from him?"

The emperor, who was sitting at the top, raised his eyebrows slightly. He was optimistic about both of his sons, and he also wanted to see how strong they were.

Gu Chenan's face froze and he coughed lightly in an unnatural manner.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. My swordsmanship is not that good. In addition, I have caught a cold recently and am feeling unwell..."

Gu Beihuai frowned slightly and interrupted him, "Royal brother, do you think that I am not worthy of fighting with you?"

"I know that my swordsmanship is not as good as yours, and I also know that you once cut off the head of a Hun with one sword, but I am sincerely asking for advice. I hope my brother will give me this face and not be too humble."

Then, without waiting for Gu Chen'an to speak, he said to Emperor Shen Tianyan: "What do you think, Father?"

Shen Tianyan was busy teasing the little prince in his arms. Hearing this, he said lightly, "Chen'an, it's just a swordsmanship contest. Let me see if you have improved."

Gu Chenan knew that if he continued to refuse, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so he had no choice but to agree.

The sword-fighting contest between the two princes was more attractive than the dancing contest between the two sisters, and all the ladies on the cruise ship looked over.

Shen Qingyan is no exception.

In her previous life, it was Gu Chenan who taught her the swordsmanship, so she was able to kill Gu Beihuai with one sword. This shows how powerful Gu Chenan's swordsmanship is.

Shen Qingyan looked at the two people on the opposite boat nervously, her heart in her throat.

However, before it started, a woman asked in a low voice.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Of course it's His Royal Highness Prince Chen. Everyone knows that Prince Chen's swordsmanship is superb. When he fought against the Huns, he took the head of a Hun with one sword."

"But I heard that Prince Su's martial arts are also very powerful..."

"You said it was just hearsay."

"How about taking a gamble?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingyan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Since we want to gamble, how about making a big one so that everyone can place a bet?"

The woman who had just mentioned the bet was startled and subconsciously looked at the queen sitting at the top.

She had just said it casually, and she didn't have the courage to make a bet in front of the Queen.

Sure enough, the Queen showed displeasure when she heard what happened. Just as she was about to reprimand, Gu Ruxiao shook her arm and acted coquettishly.

"Mother, I also want to know which of my two brothers is better. It's boring anyway, so why don't you all place a bet?"

The queen softened her tone, but still had some concerns, "How can this be tolerated?"

"Mother, there are no outsiders here. We are all sisters. We are just having fun on a whim, right?"

In his final rhetorical question, Gu Ruxiao raised the last syllable of his voice and swept a sharp and fierce gaze over everyone, making people tremble in their hearts.
