The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Soon, Ye Yuege made all the arrangements.

The best musicians and dancers of Fengyue Tower, as well as the most delicious wine and food, were all brought up.

To be on the safe side, Shen Yuanmu not only had someone prepare a veil and a hat for Gu Ruxiao, but also brought in a large gauze screen. This way, she could avoid being seen clearly by others while still being able to see the dancers dancing.

Gu Ruxiao was touched, and with a shy look on her face, she whispered, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shen."

"Yeah." Shen Yuanmu didn't listen to what she said at all. Instead, he carefully checked the gauze screen. Only after he was sure that Gu Ruxiao's face could not be seen from the other side did he feel relieved.

Well, Fengyue Tower should be able to be saved.

A warm feeling surged in Gu Ruxiao's heart, and his confidence increased instantly.

They listened to the music, watched the dance, ate the meal, and drank the wine, but Gu Ruxiao seemed not to want to leave.

As a last resort, Shen Yuanmu had to drive them away.

"Princess, it's getting late. Shouldn't you return to the palace? Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you miss curfew."

If we delay any further, will his affairs still be dealt with?

Gu Ruxiao heard it, but misunderstood it as having another meaning.

Shen Yuanmu actually even considered the curfew. He was so thoughtful and considerate that her heart was beating fast.

Gu Ruxiao lowered her eyes and said shyly, "Master Shen, it's getting dark today, and I'm scared to be alone..."

The corner of Shen Yuanmu's mouth twitched, and then she looked at the palace maids standing in a row behind her.

"The princess has so many servants to keep her company, so there is no need to be afraid."

Gu Ruxiao shook his head and sighed, "But they don't know martial arts, and I didn't arrange any secret guards when I went out today. What if I encounter thieves who try to harm people with gunpowder like last time?"

When it comes to gunpowder, Shen Yuanmu's expression changed.

"In that case..."

Gu Ruxiao's heart immediately lifted, with a hint of hope.

However, Shen Yuanmu's next words directly poured cold water on her.

"Yue Ge is highly skilled in martial arts, has quick reflexes, and is a woman, so it would be great if she could escort you personally. I can also arrange for some other people to protect you in secret."

Gu Ruxiao was obviously disappointed and wanted to fight for it again, so Ye Yuege spoke up.

"Princess, please."

"My lord, you have something urgent to deal with. Princess, please bear with me for a while. I will escort you."

Ye Yuege's words were ambiguous. First, she was saying that Gu Ruxiao had delayed Shen Yuanmu's important work, and second, she was exposing her desire for Shen Yuanmu to escort her.

However, when Gu Ruxiao, who was in a state of excitement, heard this, he suddenly looked at Shen Yuanmu and felt even more moved.

He actually put aside his urgent matters to accompany her. What kind of a good man is he? !

Love more.

Shen Yuanmu looked at the look she suddenly gave him, that scorching gaze almost burned him to death.

He could only cough lightly and pulled the corners of his lips politely.

In Gu Ruxiao's eyes, this was such a warm smile.

Because Ye Yuege's unhappiness disappeared in an instant, she left in a happy mood, and left Shen Yuanmu with a few affectionate words.

"This princess will come again tomorrow."

If it weren't for the good upbringing he had maintained over the years, Shen Yuanmu would have fallen off the chair long ago.

After getting on the carriage back to the princess's mansion, Gu Ruxiao was still humming a little tune, and even looked at Ye Yuege with more favor.

She was just a maid, nothing to be afraid of. Even if she was related to Shen Yuanmu, so what? She was just a bed warmer at best.

Little did they know that Ye Yuege was in a bad mood.

Shen Qingyan's words of encouragement were still ringing in her ears, but now they were no longer enough to support her confidence.

"Your name is Yuege, right?" Gu Ruxiao asked casually while playing with her nails.

"My maid's surname is Ye and my name is Yue Ge."

"It's a nice name. Did Master Shen give it to you?"

"Yes."

Ye Yuege lost both her parents when she was young and was found by Shen Yuanmu when she was selling herself on the roadside to bury her father.

Of course, the father she sold at that time was not her biological father, but a fake father arranged by someone.

In order to earn a few pieces of silver, she sold herself in various towns and cities all year round, braving the scorching sun and freezing wind to bury different fathers.

Fortunately, after meeting Shen Yuanmu, she was freed.

Ye Yuege was immersed in her memories, thinking so absent-mindedly that she didn't hear Gu Ruxiao's question.

It was only when the little palace maid beside her quietly kicked her with her toes that she came to her senses.

Gu Ruxiao showed dissatisfaction, "Why, can't you hear what the princess says?"

Ye Yuege immediately apologized respectfully with a humble attitude.

Gu Ruxiao glanced at her and said coldly, "This princess is in a good mood today and doesn't want to bother with you. I just want to remind you that Mr. Shen comes from a famous family and is the son of the Prime Minister. His future wife must at least be of equal status. Don't you agree?"

Ye Yuege could hear the warning and provocation implied in these words.

Now she no longer had the heart to refute.

"That's what the princess said."

Gu Ruxiao was even more satisfied, his lips curled slightly, and he felt happy.

The next day.

Shen Qingyan got up early because there was an important matter that needed to be settled today.

So she was busy with Qingmei and the others early in the morning.

The fake spring flower kite I made last time was too hasty and a little crude. This time, now that I have experience, I can make it more realistic.

Qingmei was deft, so the part of making the fake spring flowers was given to her. Zhiqing was meticulous and made some further refinements to ensure that the fakes could be mistaken for the real ones. But Zhiyu was different. She went to the kitchen and asked the chef to kill a chicken. She specifically asked for advice on how to prevent the chicken blood from coagulating, and then asked for a pig's tongue to embellish the most exciting part of the fake spring flowers.

Shen Qingyan wanted to help, but she didn't have any chance to intervene at all, and Qingmei and the others wouldn't let her intervene either.

As for Gu Beihuai, he has already gone to the Dali Temple to discuss relevant matters with Pei Zheng.

Now everything is ready, except for Shen Yunjiao's help.

Perhaps the injuries caused by the exorcism in the past few days have healed better? That's not okay. If she rested for too long, she would be sorry for what she did in her previous life.

However, after Gu Beihuai came back, he brought a better idea than making a fake Chunhua to force Shen Yunjiao to interrogate her.

This idea was proposed by Pei Zheng, and he arranged the whole process.

Night falls quickly.

The chirping of cicadas in summer seemed a bit noisy in the silent night, but Shen Yunjiao's yard was quiet, without even a trace of insect chirping.

Qin Fenglan was afraid of disturbing Shen Yunjiao's rest, so she had everyone clear out all the buzzing insects in the yard.

Shen Yunjiao was beaten up for exorcising a ghost, and she also took a few pills of Wu Zang Yan Luo San. I don’t know if it was because of the evil that had plagued her for thousands of years, but she managed to survive.

She finally got a good night's sleep tonight, but a creepy voice woke her up.

When she opened her eyes again, she was stunned.

The room was filled with fog and nothing could be seen clearly, but she could see an old man with long hair and white beard sitting at the table, looking at her with a grim gaze.

The old man was wearing a black and red python robe, on which were embroidered all kinds of ferocious little ghosts. Behind him were two figures, one black and one white. They were extremely tall, with green faces and fangs, and were very scary.
