"My Lord, I'm sorry." Shen Qingyan buried her head in Gu Beihuai's chest and said in a muffled voice, "It was all my fault before. I made you suffer so much."

She raised her little face, her eyes red.

"Why didn't Your Majesty tell me this earlier? Maybe..."

Gu Beihuai shook his head and comforted her gently, "Don't blame yourself. Your mother specifically told me to protect you and not force you."

"It's my fault. I forced you to marry me."

But if he didn't marry her home, he would be letting Chu Qingyue down.

Because Gu Chenan only wants to use Shen Qingyan and cannot protect her.

"No, Your Highness is not wrong." Shen Qingyan lowered her voice a little, her heart and eyes full of guilt, "It's useless to say anything now. Now that we have spoken out, then from now on, no matter when and where, no matter what situation we face, we must fight side by side, okay?"

"Okay." Gu Beihuai agreed immediately and reached out to scratch Shen Qingyan's nose, "Then Yan'er can't cry anymore."

"You made me cry."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault."

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Qingyan felt a little tired.

I was already feeling unwell, and today I had been bothered by the plague for a long time. It was already late at night, and I didn't say much to Gu Beihuai before I became too sleepy to open my eyes.

Gu Beihuai couldn't bear to see her stay up late, so he coaxed her to sleep and then went to the study.

Leng Feng and Lie Feng were already waiting for him.

Over the years, he has used his status as a prince to secretly train many loyal guards, and now it's time to put them to use.

"How is Ji Feng's injury?" Gu Beihuai did not rush to talk about business, but asked about Ji Feng's injury.

"Your Highness, it's nothing serious. It's obviously not the plague."

Gu Beihuai had already guessed that Gu Tianyan wanted to deal with him by using the name of plague, but he didn't dare to gamble with the lives of everyone in the capital, including his own life.

"Well, where's Shuofeng? How is his injury?"

“It has recovered quite a bit.”

"That's good." Gu Beihuai gave more orders and rewarded Shuofeng and Jifeng with some things, and then began to make arrangements for Lengfeng and Liefeng.

"Go find Helan Huayin's traces, and do it in a big way."

"And spread the news that the plague was a rumor."

"Yes."

After arranging some trivial matters, Gu Beihuai rubbed his eyebrows, and a trace of fatigue appeared in his eyes.

When he arrived at Yuxuan Courtyard and saw the person sleeping soundly on the bed, his remaining tiredness disappeared completely.

After taking a bath, Gu Beihuai got on the bed gently. Noticing his presence, Shen Qingyan rolled over and rubbed into his arms to continue sleeping.

This kind of dependence and trust made Gu Beihuai so happy that the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he felt at ease sleeping in the same bed with Shen Qingyan.

-

In the western suburbs, there is a village with small bridges and flowing water.

The early morning sunshine is particularly bright. The villagers get up early and are busy planting the first wave of autumn vegetables after the beginning of autumn.

But their plans to grow vegetables today failed because there was something exciting to watch.

Many guards with swords came to the village and searched every house in the village, saying they were looking for a young woman. She was a princess of the Zhanri Kingdom, named Helan Huayin.

The villagers tried to identify the people in the portraits one by one, but none of them recognized them.

Because that day, Helan Huayin's makeup made her look like a ghost and her figure looked like rags. How could she look like a princess at all?

But someone recognized her and pointed at the portrait and exclaimed, "The woman that Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi carried back a few days ago looks like her."

That man went to report to the police, but the officials didn't believe him at all and drove him away.

Then, under his leadership, Liefeng found Helan Huayin, who was lying in the pigsty, breathing weakly.

She was naked and dirty, so Liefeng gave some money to several women in the village and asked them to take care of Helan Huayin.

During the entire process, Helan Huayin's eyes remained empty and he said nothing, as if he no longer had any hope for life or death.

Several middle-aged women helped her clean her body, and when they saw the purple wounds all over her body, they couldn't help but sigh.

"Such a good girl, but she was taken advantage of by those two beasts..."

"Alas, fate plays tricks on us, but is she really a princess?"

"It should be true, right? But there's nothing valuable on him..."

"Are you stupid? The valuables have already been gambled away by Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi."

After giving Helan Huayin a bath and changing her into clean clothes, she was still like a puppet, allowing others to manipulate her.

It was not until Dazhuzi and Erzhuzi were captured by Liefeng and his men that Helan Huayin's stagnant emotions finally began to crack.

She rushed forward regardless of everything, pulled out a guard's knife, and stabbed it into Erzhuzi's body.

Blood splattered on the clothes she had just changed, but she didn't care. She pulled out the knife with force and stabbed the pillar again.

But he was stopped by the fierce wind.

"Princess Huayin, this person is a witness."

Helan Huayin's eyes were red as he stared at the shaking pillar, his voice hoarse.

"I'm going to kill him."

"He will die sooner or later."

Although Helan Huayin looked ferocious, her fragile tears burst out at this moment.

She raised her eyes to look at Lie Feng and murmured, "Did your prince ask you to save me?"

Lie Feng pondered for a moment and said in a proper manner: "The prince asked me to investigate the princess's whereabouts."

But I didn't say I was saving you.

Helan Huayin laughed at herself. She slowly raised the knife, looked at the bloodstains on it, and muttered to herself.

"Yes, your prince is very infatuated, how could he take me seriously?"

"I was so stupid. I actually believed what that bitch said, and ended up like this..."

She seemed to have made up her mind and suddenly slashed the knife towards her neck.

But Liefeng acted as fast as lightning and quickly knocked away Helan Huayin's knife, leaving only a shallow bloody mark on her neck.

Helan Huayin asked him hysterically: "Why did you stop me?"

I don't want to either, but I won't be able to report you if you die. What's more, you are a princess of a foreign country. If you die, it will inevitably cause hostility between the two countries.

But Lie Feng still advised sincerely: "Princess, don't be impulsive. The matter has not been investigated clearly yet, and those who should pay the price have not yet received the result."

Helan Huayin reacted instantly. Yes, Dazhuzi was not dead yet, and that bitch Shen Zhidie was not dead either. Why should she die?

Even if she can't bear the humiliation and has no face to live in this world, she must let the person who deserves to die die first!

Thinking of this, she wiped away her tears, threw away the knife, and said to Liefeng, "Thank you."

Liefeng frowned:?

On the other hand, Shen Zhidie's situation was much better than Helan Huayin's. At least she was not humiliated like Helan Huayin, but was thrown into the wilderness and almost eaten by wild beasts.

The first thing she did after returning from all the hardships was to go to the palace.

Shen Qingyan knocked her unconscious and threw her so far away, she must seek justice!

Little did she know that not only did she fail to get justice, she also lost half her life.
