Gu Ruxiao hurriedly pulled Shen Qingyan, speaking in an urgent tone.

"Sister-in-law, what did that man do to you? Are you okay?"

"What?" Shen Qingyan only felt pain in her arms, legs, waist, buttocks, and even her neck.

"That man must be a pervert..."

Before Gu Ruxiao could finish his words, he suddenly noticed an obvious red mark on Shen Qingyan's neck.

She gasped suddenly.

"Imperial sister-in-law, you..." She immediately looked at the bed and found a mark on Shen Qingyan's side that looked like someone had been lying there.

"Who is that man?"

Shen Qingyan frowned, looked in the direction of her gaze, and was also startled.

Qingmei also noticed it and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Princess, maybe you saw it wrong. There was no man there just now."

"How is that possible? I definitely wasn't wrong." Gu Ruxiao pointed at the red mark on Shen Qingyan's neck and said firmly, "Sister-in-law, who is he? How could you betray your brother?"

"No wonder you and your brother are at odds. So you've fallen in love with someone else?"

Shen Qingyan was completely confused, but she was certain that a man had indeed broken into her room, leaving her defenseless and even taking advantage of her!

She quickly came to the bronze mirror, and an ambiguous mark on her fair neck was particularly conspicuous.

Gu Ruxiao was still questioning, but Shen Qingyan fell into deep thought.

Who else but Gu Beihuai could make her defenseless and share bed with him?

Shen Qingyan felt angry and amused. If it were in the past, she would never believe that Gu Beihuai would do such a thing, but now she believed it.

There was also a unique sandalwood scent coming from him on the bed, which further confirmed her guess.

Shen Qingyan guessed correctly, it was indeed Gu Beihuai.

After he jumped off the windowsill, he quickly ran into an alley nearby, where Shufeng was waiting for him.

"Your Highness." Shufeng witnessed everything just now, but didn't dare to say anything. What a joke! How could he see the miserable side of his master?

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Gu Beihuai glanced at him coldly, and his chilly tone made Shuofeng shudder.

"If you really care about how I sleep, I can let you sleep on the roof."

Shuo Feng said quickly: "I dare not sleep on top of you, Your Majesty. I will sleep on the floor."

Gu Beihuai glanced at him and said, "Do you really want to monitor my sleep?"

Shuo Feng finally reacted, "I deserve to die. That's not what I meant."

Gu Beihuai closed his eyes, too lazy to care about his stupidity, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go back home."

"Yes."

On the way back home, Gu Beihuai had a gloomy face the whole time. It seemed that he would have to keep a close eye on Gu Rushao in the future, so that he would not run out of the palace all day long and almost get discovered.

Gu Ruxiao had no idea that he had been plotted against by his own royal brother, and he was still questioning Shen Qingyan.

"Sister-in-law, please tell me, who is that man?"

Shen Qingyan glanced at the irritable Gu Ruxiao and said calmly: "What if I say that man is your brother?"

"Ah?" Gu Ruxiao was stunned for a moment, then blurted out weakly, "Impossible..."

But when I think about it carefully, the back of that person just now does look a lot like Gu Beihuai.

That's not right. How could my brother do such a scoundrel thing? He climbed out the window because he was guilty. What was he guilty about? Could it be that he climbed in through the window?

Gu Ruxiao's thoughts were in a whirlwind and his expression kept changing.

She would feel ashamed if this got out.

Shen Qingyan said calmly: "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask him yourself."

Gu Ruxiao already believed it to about 70%. She hissed and said awkwardly, "I'll send someone back to ask my brother right away."

Coincidentally, the door was pushed open at this moment, and Ayaka stumbled in.

"Princess!"

As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down, covered in dew and mud, looking extremely disheveled.

"Princess, please forgive me. I failed in my duty."

Gu Ruxiao was shocked and wanted to help her but didn't know where to start. "How did you get yourself into this state?"

Ayaka opened her mouth to speak, but when she realized Shen Qingyan and Qingmei were still there, she swallowed the rest of her words.

"I accidentally fell and passed out..."

She clearly remembered that she was knocked unconscious at the entrance of the dark alley. After waking up, she found herself on the outskirts of the city, which made it very difficult for her to walk back.

No matter how hard she tried, she would never have imagined that she was knocked unconscious and thrown into the suburbs by Jia Niu and others from Chu Yuege.

Gu Ruxiao cursed inwardly for being useless, but he also knew that Ayaka must have discovered something.

This was not the place to talk, so she found an excuse to find Gu Beihuai and left.

Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief, the world was finally quiet.

"My Lady Princess, are you okay?"

Shen Qingyan shook her head, "It's okay."

But something was going to happen to Gu Ruxiao.

From now on, she will not be able to leave the palace for a long time.

After breakfast, Shen Qingyan was feeling really bored and was planning to go out for a walk when Qingmei walked in with a serious expression and closed the door very carefully.

Shen Qingyan rarely saw her so serious, so she became a little curious.

"Qingmei, what happened?"

Qingmei lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "Princess, there are four pieces of news. One is about the prince, the second is about the queen, the third is about the princess, and the fourth is about Fan Rui. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Shen Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "There are so many, how can I choose? Just tell me one by one in order."

Qingmei immediately agreed, and then told him what had happened in the palace that morning.

First of all, there are Gu Beihuai and the Queen.

At the morning court, Gu Beihuai spoke openly about the fire in the side hall of Kunning Palace, which almost injured Shen Qingyan.

Of course, he did not directly accuse the queen, but said that the palace maids in the queen's palace had evil intentions, were negligent, and bewitched their master, causing the queen to lose the demeanor of a mother of a country, and they should all be cleared out and replaced.

Although not a single word blamed the Queen, it was clear that she was saying that she was lax in her rule, was easily influenced by others, and did not have the demeanor of a mother of a country.

The emperor was already dissatisfied with the queen. Not only did he not expose Gu Beihuai, but he praised him for his filial piety. After the court session, he replaced all the people in Kunning Palace. All of them, including the queen's personal nanny, were expelled from the palace and replaced with new people.

The queen was so angry that she couldn't eat, but when she thought that this was the work of her most beloved son, she was so angry that she couldn't even sleep.

The newly replaced palace maid did not indulge her. Unlike the previous ones, she did not comfort and flatter her in various ways. Instead, she watched coldly, letting the queen lose her temper, and then said in a nonchalant manner, "Your Majesty, please calm down," and then cleaned up the mess.

You have to know that this was the palace maid selected for her by Gu Beihuai himself, so naturally she would be better at judging the situation than the previous ones.

In other words, this is actually Gu Beihuai's man.
