The emperor also knew the queen's temperament, so he confined her to her hometown and handed over her power over the harem to Concubine Hua.

After saying this, Qingmei carefully observed Shen Qingyan's expression.

Shen Qingyan remained silent, knowing in her heart that this was Gu Beihuai's instruction to her.

It would be impossible for the Queen to act like a demon from now on, let alone summon her into the palace to embarrass her.

Qingmei continued, "I heard that the princess has also been confined to her house, and the emperor has already started to have people select a prince consort for her. No matter how much the princess cries, it will be useless."

Speaking of this, Shen Qingyan was a little surprised.

"How do you know this?"

Qingmei coughed lightly and whispered, "This is what Yuege, who is beside the eldest master, told me."

Shen Qingyan understood that this should be the power of Chu Yue Pavilion, which meant that Shen Yuanmu had spies in the palace.

"What about Fan Rui?"

Qingmei's throat was a little dry, and she pursed her lips quietly. Shen Qingyan pulled her to sit down and talked while drinking tea.

"Fan Rui was hit by a sudden disaster today. I don't know who broke his arms and legs. He was wailing all the way on the street. I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything wrong in his life."

Shen Qingyan was a little surprised. Gu Ruxiao had said that he would make him pay the price, but she had been under house arrest, so it seemed that she was not the one who interrupted him.

Who could that be?

"Oh, right." Qingmei mentioned something that she hadn't expected. "I heard that Lu Jiuxiao was captured by a group of people and taken back to Jiuxiao Villa. I heard that his father is very fierce. If he is caught outside, he will definitely be severely punished."

Shen Qingyan vaguely felt that this was done by Gu Beihuai.

Because Lu Jiuxiao once told her that he was very afraid of Gu Beihuai and would always be beaten by his father because of him.

So, he was also responsible for Fan Rui's incident?

Is this the explanation that Gu Beihuai had given her?

Shen Qingyan was in mixed feelings. The person she wanted to stay away from still loved her deeply. How could she bear to push him away?

"Princess, there is news from the palace that the prince has asked Zhiqing and Zhiyu to come and serve you personally. They are waiting outside."

Gu Beihuai actually even considered this.

Shen Qingyan was absent-minded this morning, her mind full of what Gu Beihuai had done for her.

Soon, the sun set and night fell.

After washing up, Shen Qingyan did not fall asleep. Instead, she stuffed the pillow into the quilt, imitating a human figure, and hid in the closet.

She had a feeling that Gu Beihuai would come again tonight.

The moonlight gradually rose higher, and sleepiness gradually set in.

I had so many things on my mind during the day that I didn't have any naps, and now I'm feeling sleepy again.

Shen Qingyan forced herself to cheer up, opened her eyes wide, and stared at the window through the crack of the wardrobe door.

She had made up her mind. She didn't want to miss out on Gu Beihuai. Even if she did, she had to make things clear.

If Gu Beihuai left her because of her revenge, she would accept it.

This thought went around in my mind again and again, but Gu Beihuai hadn't come yet.

Shen Qingyan couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness after all, and fell asleep leaning in the corner of the closet.

Gu Beihuai came in through the window in the moonlight.

Even his lecherous behavior made him look exceptionally dignified and elegant.

His footsteps were so light that if one was not a person with excellent internal strength, one would not be able to hear the footsteps at all.

Coming to the bed, seeing the human-shaped pillow that could be identified at a glance, Gu Beihuai curled up a doting yet helpless smile at the corner of his lips and looked towards the closet.

It seems that Yan'er has guessed that he has been here, and is on guard against him.

Very cute.

When he arrived in front of the closet, Gu Beihuai did not rush to open it. Instead, he listened carefully. He heard the sound of even breathing from inside. After confirming that it was Shen Qingyan, he opened the closet door.

Holding Shen Qingyan's legs with one hand and supporting her waist with the other, Gu Beihuai gently put her on the bed.

Not only did Shen Qingyan not wake up, but she murmured something, hugged his waist involuntarily, and rubbed her head against his chest.

This was Shen Qingyan's habitual action when the two of them slept in the same bed.

Gu Beihuai's heart was like ripples in a pond, incredibly gentle.

How could he let go of his Yan'er?

Maybe there are some things he should explain clearly to Yan'er.

The two of them hugged each other, both feeling an inexplicable sense of peace and relaxation. Gu Beihuai was reluctant to wake up the person in his arms, so he could only let her sleep in his arms. He also became sleepy and slept soundly.

Only with Shen Qingyan can he sleep peacefully.

The early morning light quietly fell on a corner of the window, and then a small crack appeared in that corner, and someone knocked gently.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent decree from the palace."

Shuofeng clung to the window with difficulty, trying not to look too embarrassed, but in fact he could hardly hold on any longer.

Although he is good at martial arts, he is afraid of heights!

Ji Feng was sent to do other things, and Leng Fengliefeng didn't give him face, so he had to do it himself.

Gu Beihuai frowned, and his first reaction was to look at the people around him.

Sleeping soundly, no signs of waking up.

Gu Beihuai finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the window with a cold face.

"Got it. Go and prepare the horse."

"Yes."

Finally he could roll away. Shuofeng was about to jump down, but when he looked at the height below, he was so scared that his legs went weak.

It’s okay at night because you can’t see clearly, but it’s really scary during the day.

He could only say pitifully to Gu Beihuai: "Your Majesty, I have an unwelcome request. Can you take me away with you?"

Gu Beihuai said coldly, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will kick you down."

"But your subordinates..."

At this moment, Shen Qingyan murmured and woke up.

Gu Beihuai's expression changed. Now was not a good time to talk about things, so he could only leave quickly.

So he climbed out the window and prepared to jump down, but there was Shufeng in the way, so he had to take him down with him.

Shufeng was moved to tears of gratitude. He knew that the prince had a sharp tongue but a soft heart and would not sit idly by and watch him!

As luck would have it, a team of imperial merchants got up early to transport goods in front of Fengyue Tower. They happened to see Gu Beihuai holding a man and gracefully jumping down from the private room on the third floor of Fengyue Tower, which made people imagine a lot.

Everyone was stunned and quickly pretended they saw nothing.

But there was already a storm in my heart.

It turns out that Prince Huai is a homosexual!

No wonder he couldn't wait to marry the daughter of Shen family. Was it to cover up the fact that he was a homosexual?

The sound of the window opening and closing suddenly woke Shen Qingyan from her daze. When she looked over, Gu Beihuai and Shufeng were gone.

And when I woke up from bed and could smell Gu Beihuai's scent on the bed, it could only mean one thing.

He had been here last night, but she had missed him.

Shen Qingyan felt annoyed. Why was he so sleepy?

After much thought, she made a decision.

After discussing with Shen Yuanmu, she returned to the palace today. She was afraid that the night would be long and she would change her decision to confess.

Unfortunately, Shen Yuanmu went out early in the morning.

After Shen Qingyan took back Chu Qingyue's shop from the Shen family, except for Fengxing Pavilion, all others were managed by Shen Yuanmu and the people from Chu Yue Pavilion.

But I didn’t expect that after breakfast today, Qingmei brought back two more pieces of news, which were even more explosive than the last time.
