The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Shen Qingyan chuckled, her tone teasing.

"You can tell by the look of lust on your face."

Gu Ruxiao couldn't help but blush, "Who, who is in love? Don't talk nonsense."

But she still reached out and touched her face. Was it that obvious?

"By the way, how far have you and my brother progressed?" Shen Qingyan continued to tease.

"Oh my." Gu Ruxiao looked embarrassed and annoyed, "Sister-in-law, why are you teasing me too?"

"Let's not talk about that for now. How are you? Are you injured?"

Shen Qingyan shook her head, "It's nothing serious."

Gu Ruxiao was relieved at this moment, "I'm glad you're okay. Otherwise, when my brother comes back, he will definitely scold me for not protecting you well."

"Huh?" Shen Qingyan was a little surprised, "Why did the prince scold you?"

Gu Ruxiao teased her in return, "My good brother was afraid that you would suffer when he was not around, so he asked me to keep an eye on your movements and protect you well."

After saying that, he muttered to himself.

"It would be great if there was a man like this who would always think of me in the future."

Seeing this, Shen Qingyan smelled the scent of gossip again.

"Why, my brother treats you badly?"

"No, he is very nice, gentle as jade, and polite. Today, he accompanied me to the Marriage Temple to burn incense. He also went shopping with me and bought a lot of food..."

Shen Qingyan was extremely surprised. Has her brother finally come to her senses?

But Gu Ruxiao changed the subject, his tone unable to conceal his disappointment.

"But I noticed that he didn't seem to like me. The only reason he was willing to accompany me to the temple and shopping was because I forced him to do so. He always restrained himself and was indifferent even though I hinted at him many times..."

As he spoke, Gu Ruxiao's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end his grievance and disappointment were almost inaudible.

"Is it because I'm not good-looking, or does he already have someone he loves?"

Shen Qingyan patted her hands and comforted her gently, "This is not your fault. Brother has always been like that."

"Really?" There was a gleam in Gu Ruxiao's eyes.

"Of course it's true."

Gu Ruxiao felt better, "Does he have a crush on someone?"

"This..." Shen Qingyan really didn't know how far the relationship between Shen Yuanmu and Ye Yuege had developed.

If she told them, would Gu Ruxiao make things difficult for them?

Seeing her hesitation, Gu Ruxiao pretended to be relaxed and said, "In fact, even if you don't tell me, I know whether he likes the maid named Yuege beside him or not."

Shen Qingyan was surprised. She actually knew?

"Even if she's a bed warmer, I wouldn't mind." Gu Ruxiao continued, "It's better than hanging around in red-light districts."

Shen Qingyan's expression changed. She realized that Gu Ruxiao was more persistent than she thought. Her brother was in danger!

"Ruxiao, there is something I need to tell you." Shen Qingyan said seriously, "Although my brother is a gentleman, but... he is the owner of Fengyue Tower, and Fengyue Tower is what people commonly call a place of pleasure, do you know?"

"I know." Gu Ruxiao waved her hand nonchalantly, "The women in Fengyue Tower sell their art instead of their bodies. It's okay. I believe Mr. Shen is not that kind of person."

You are very generous.

It has to be said that a woman in love not only often complains about herself, but also gets carried away and throws herself into it so much that anything anyone says passes by like wind passing by her ears.

Forget it, Shen Qingyan thought, it would be better to help her brother make some things clear to avoid misunderstandings and troubles in the future.

"Ruxiao, there is something I want to make clear to you."

"My brother actually doesn't want to deal with people from the royal family, so you and him..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Ruxiao's eyes were so excited that stars seemed to burst out, and he grabbed Shen Qingyan's hand.

"You mean, Mr. Shen originally didn't like to interact with people from the royal family, but he was willing to break the rules for me?"

"He is such a proud and upright gentleman, yet he is so affectionate."

Shen Qingyan: “……?”

Is this how you understand it?

"No, Ruxiao, please listen to me..."

"I understand." Gu Ruxiao held her hand tighter, "You are trying to comfort me, right?"

"..."

Shen Qingyan was convinced, and she said that a woman who was addicted to love would not listen to anything.

Gu Ruxiao was already smiling happily, and her mood was no longer as depressed as before.

"Good sister-in-law, I know you are the best to me. After your advice, I feel much better."

Shen Qingyan: Was that my advice?

In short, after Gu Ruxiao came to his senses, he pulled Shen Qingyan aside to talk about this and that, all of which were about Shen Yuanmu.

Shen Qingyan sighed again and again in her heart, forget it, just go with Gu Ruxiao, even if she said more now she wouldn't listen.

But the good times did not last long. Just as Gu Ruxiao was chattering, the Queen and a group of palace servants suddenly broke in. Qingmei was covered with her mouth and dragged aside before she could even report.

The queen was looking at them coldly through the gauze curtain and did not come in.

Gu Ruxiao was talking excitedly when he suddenly saw Shen Qingyan change state in a second. Her face turned pale and looked sick.

Then she felt a cool breeze behind her, which was so chilling that it made her back feel cold.

"Princess, thank you for coming to visit me. I am seriously ill now. Please don't pass my illness on to you. Princess, please go back."

Gu Ruxiao was slightly stunned. He just called her "Ruxiao", how come he became so distant in the blink of an eye?

"Sister-in-law, are you tired of me? I know Mr. Shen..."

"Cough cough!" Shen Qingyan suddenly coughed loudly, trying hard to hint to Gu Ruxiao.

It’s a pity that Gu Ruxiao’s mind was full of Shen Yuanmu and he didn’t understand what she meant at all.

Helpless, Shen Qingyan had to say to the outside: "But the Queen is here? Meet the Queen."

Gu Ruxiao's body shook, and he became noticeably stiff.

Before she could say anything, the queen suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in.

Meeting her cold and intimidating gaze, Gu Ruxiao stood up, no longer as high-spirited as before.

"Mother..."

"Shut up! You have no sense of shame!" The Queen looked at Gu Ruxiao angrily, "I was wondering why you were running out of the palace every day? So you were looking for a man?"

Gu Ruxiao's face turned pale and blue, and he was a little unsteady on his feet for a moment.

What did she hear? Her beloved mother actually said that she was shameless and was looking for a man?

"Mother." Gu Ruxiao wanted to explain with a pale face, but was interrupted by the Queen again.

"But this little bitch instigated you? I have told you so many times not to have any contact with her, and look at what you have done now?!"

Shen Qingyan's face darkened slightly, and she said in a cold voice: "Isn't what the Queen said too harshly? Princess, what's wrong with pursuing the person you like? Do you have to live with regrets for the rest of your life?"

"Or is it that the Queen cannot bear to see her daughter pursuing happiness and wants to prevent it?"

These words touched the queen's sore spot, making her furious and almost collapse.

"Shut up, little bitch!"

She strode forward and raised her hand to slap Shen Qingyan.
