The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

On the way back, Qingmei had just put away the wooden box when she saw Zhiyu smiling cunningly not far away.

Qingmei knew something was wrong. Zhiyu was a very gossipy girl and would definitely ask her all sorts of questions.

As expected, Zhiyu came over excitedly and asked quietly, "How is it? Have you seen him? Who is he? Is it Shuofeng or Jifeng? Lengfeng or Liefeng?"

Qingmei walked around her and walked forward quickly.

"Don't make wild guesses. I'm just returning a favor."

Zhiyu's expression became even more ambiguous, "Oh my, you're protecting me already? Tell me who he is."

Qingmei wouldn't say anything of course. Just as the two were arguing, Zhiqing came over.

"What are you guys arguing about? Princess, it's time to get up from your nap."

The three of them hurriedly stood guard in front of Shen Qingyan's room, ready to serve at any time.

Shen Qingyan usually woke up after an hour's nap at most, but this time she hadn't gotten up for an hour and a half.

Qingmei was a little worried, so she walked in quietly and asked through the curtain.

"My Lady Princess, are you ready to get up?"

Shen Qingyan heard the voice and mumbled in a daze: "Let me sleep a little longer..."

If we continue to sleep like this, it will be time for dinner.

Zhiqing lowered her voice and said to Qingmei, "Perhaps it's because the princess hasn't recovered from her cold yet, so it's normal for her to feel a little sleepy."

So the three of them prepared hot water and waited outside.

However, after another hour, Shen Qingyan still didn't wake up.

Just when Qingmei wanted to go in to check again, Gu Beihuai stepped into the yard.

At this time of day in the past, Shen Qingyan would either stretch her muscles or practice swordplay in the yard, or read a book or carve something. But since Gu Beihuai entered the room, she did not see that playful and lively figure rushing towards her.

"Where's Yan'er?"

Qingmei quickly said respectfully: "The princess is still taking a nap."

Gu Beihuai frowned slightly, "It's already dinner time, why are you still sleeping?"

He strode into the room and saw Shen Qingyan holding a pillow in her arms with her legs on the quilt. She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even notice Gu Beihuai walking in front of her.

Gu Beihuai sighed and reached out to pinch her face.

"Still sleeping?"

Shen Qingyan was awakened from her sleep. She looked at Gu Beihuai with sleepy eyes and wanted to reach out to hug him, but she felt so sleepy that she closed her eyes again.

Gu Beihuai: ...

"Don't sleep anymore, get up."

Shen Qingyan was helped to sit up, and leaned on Gu Beihuai's shoulder, whimpering, "Prince, I'm hungry..."

Gu Beihuai ordered someone to serve dinner, and then carried Shen Qingyan to the table.

He took the wet handkerchief from Qingmei and wiped Shen Qingyan's face with his own hands, his tone full of tenderness and doting.

"Okay, wake up, it's time to eat."

After wiping her face, Shen Qingyan became much more sober and started to act coquettishly as usual.

"Then feed me, sir."

"it is good."

After all the dishes were served, Qingmei and others left immediately, and Gu Beihuai fed Shen Qingyan little by little.

After dinner, Shen Qingyan asked to go to bed again.

Fortunately, before going to bed, she did not forget to ask Gu Beihuai about the plague.

"What's the situation with the plague like? How does the emperor plan to deal with it? Is it just going to be left unresolved?"

However, Gu Beihuai did not answer her any questions. He just tucked her back and kissed her forehead gently.

"I can handle these things, go to sleep."

No, she needs to ask clearly.

Unfortunately, before I could ask, her eyelids started to fight each other, and she went to see Zhou Gong the moment she closed her eyes.

Afterwards, Gu Beihuai looked at Shen Qingyan gently for a long time before returning to Qingyue Courtyard.

He still had a lot to deal with, not only about the plague, but also about his plans.

That day, Dou Jin came to search the palace on Gu Tianyan's orders. Just as Shen Qingyan guessed, evidence of frame-up had been placed in the palace long ago in order to accuse Gu Beihuaian of spreading the plague.

But no matter how much Gu Tianyan planned, he didn't expect that Dou Jin was Gu Beihuai's man.

So when Dou Jin returned to the palace to report nothing, Gu Tianyan was furious and extremely angry.

But he did not suspect Dou Jin, but thought that Gu Beihuai had discovered those things and destroyed them in advance.

So he assigned Dou Jin a new task.

Assassinate Gu Beihuai at all costs.

Dou Jin immediately asked someone to pass the news to Gu Beihuai.

Gu Beihuai had anticipated this, so at the morning court session today, he brought Su Jijin to the court in front of all the ministers.

Gu Tianyan’s expression at that time was very interesting, of course, even more interesting was Su Yuande.

His godson, who was supposed to be dead, actually appeared alive in the court. How could he not panic?

And even if Su Jijin didn't confess, he would be punished by Gu Tianyan for his poor performance.

Fortunately, Su Ji Jin had no other choice but to grit his teeth and refuse to admit it. Even threatening his family was useless.

It's a tough one.

In order to prevent future troubles, Gu Tianyan waved his hand and ordered the execution.

That unquestionable attitude made those who didn't know him think he was angry, but those who knew him would naturally see that he was guilty.

Just as Shen Qingyan thought, the matter ended in nothing. Even though Su Ji Jin was saved, it did not help.

In the study room of Qingyue Courtyard, Gu Beihuai rubbed his brows and listened to Shufeng's report.

"I can't find out who is behind them, but I am sure that their goal is the same as ours."

What Shufeng was talking about was the person who rescued Su Ji Jin at the same time.

Gu Beihuai pondered for a moment and already had someone he suspected.

Could it be Shen Yuanmu’s man?

When Yan wakes up tomorrow, I’ll know the answer by asking her.

Shuo Feng finished his report and was about to leave when Gu Beihuai suddenly asked, "Why, are you hungry?"

"Ah?" Shuo Feng scratched his head in confusion. "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am not hungry yet."

Gu Beihuai glanced at him expressionlessly and reminded him, "There are so many cake crumbs around your mouth. Where did you eat them secretly?"

Shufeng was startled, and when he wiped his mouth he found that he had not wiped it clean before.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I did not cheat. It was Ji Feng who..."

The words reached his lips and stopped abruptly.

It's over, the monsoon is exposed.

Gu Beihuai's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his tone left no room for doubt, "Speak."

Shuofeng didn't dare to disobey, so he told him about stealing Jifeng's cakes.

The origin of this pastry is naturally also explained clearly.

He also heard about Qingmei giving Jifeng pastries, and the version he heard was exaggerated many times.

What about Ji Feng and Qingmei hugging each other, the two of them sending each other tokens and flirting, and being reluctant to part with each other...

Shuofeng silently apologized to Jifeng in his heart: Brother, it was me who destroyed your happiness, I'm sorry.

After listening to this, Gu Beihuai said nothing. He just said "hmm" and let him go.

Shufeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not angry. Fortunately, the prince did not blame him.

Little did he know that Gu Beihuai had already been secretly planning to tell Shen Qingyan the news.

If Yan'er knew that the two of them were together, she would definitely be very pleased.
