The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

The next day.

The sun is shining and the autumn breeze is blowing. The sun is not as hot in autumn, but instead makes people feel warm and comfortable.

When Shen Qingyan woke up, it was already noon.

Qingmei, Zhiqing and Zhiyu came in together and helped her to dress and wash.

"My Lady Princess, you have been sleeping too much these past two days. Are you feeling unwell? Do you need a doctor to diagnose your pulse?"

Shen Qingyan yawned and said lazily: "No need, it must be autumn coming, it is normal to feel sleepy."

What's more, she knows her own body well and doesn't feel any discomfort.

Seeing this, Qingmei had no choice but to give up.

After washing up, breakfast is ready.

But looking at the dishes that she usually loved to eat, Shen Qingyan suddenly lost her appetite. She ate a few bites and asked them to clear the food away.

Zhiyu was a little annoyed when she saw this, so she rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen, "The kitchen must have been slack, and the food they made is not to the princess's taste. I will go and settle the score with them now."

"Forget it." Shen Qingyan shook her head and said lightly, "I just don't have much appetite today."

Zhiyu paused, and suddenly said: "Princess, why don't you try the snacks made from green plums? They are delicious and will definitely suit your taste."

Qingmei's face changed, and she immediately winked at Zhiyu, but Zhiyu acted as if he didn't see it and continued to talk: "I saw it with my own eyes. Qingmei made a lot of snacks yesterday."

"Really?" Shen Qingyan became interested. She took in Qingmei's awkward look just now, but still asked calmly, "Qingmei, what kind of snacks did you make?"

Qingmei was a little embarrassed and had to explain, "I made the peach blossom cake when I was free. It looks ugly and tastes bad, so I never made a fool of myself in front of the princess."

"It's okay. I haven't eaten peach blossom cake for a long time." Shen Qingyan smiled slightly, without any intention of blaming her. Instead, she half-jokingly said, "Qingmei, am I honored to eat the peach blossom cake you made?"

Qingmei was a little terrified, and quickly said, "Of course you can, but Princess, please don't despise my craftsmanship."

"Of course not."

Qingmei got up and was about to make peach blossom cake, but Zhiyu suddenly asked Qingmei another question.

"By the way, Qingmei, you didn't send all the cakes and pastries to the guard camp yesterday, did you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qingmei's expression changed completely.

If Zhiyu said that just now, it was accidental, then now it was intentional.

Shen Qingyan narrowed her eyes, still smiling, and asked curiously: "Qingmei, do you send the cakes you make to the guard camp?"

Qingmei knelt down quickly, not daring to lie anymore, and told it out with gritted teeth.

"Princess, please forgive me. Guard Monsoon saved me from being bitten by rats that day. I didn't know how to repay him, so I made some cakes and sent them to him."

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Qingyan understood and helped Qingmei up personally.

"It's not a big deal. I was negligent. I should have let you visit him earlier."

Seeing that Shen Qingyan was not angry, Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Qingyan knew Qingmei and knew that she was not a casual person. When she said she was sending cakes, it must be just to express her gratitude.

As for Zhiyu...

Afterwards, Shen Qingyan asked Qingmei to go downstairs to make cakes. Zhiyu volunteered, "Princess, I will go and help Qingmei."

"No need, let Zhiqing go and you stay."

Zhiyu's body trembled slightly. Knowing that he was wrong, he knelt down immediately.

Shen Qingyan drank her tea calmly, with no joy or anger on her face.

Although Zhiyu didn't look up, that cold and indifferent aura still lingered around her.

She had served Shen Qingyan for so long, so she naturally knew her temper.

Although the princess was gentle and playful on weekdays and never spoke harshly to servants like them, they knew that the princess was not as delicate and gentle as she appeared to be, because she was only like that towards the prince.

After a long time, when Zhiyu was about to collapse from the pressure, Shen Qingyan finally put down the teacup and spoke slowly.

"Zhiyu, do you know your mistake?"

Finally having this question, Zhiyu felt relieved, "I know I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Zhiyu lowered her eyes and whispered, "I shouldn't have told Qingmei about this."

"anything else?"

what else?

Zhiyu bit her lip. She knew the real purpose of her doing this, but she didn't want to and didn't dare to say it out loud.

Seeing that she couldn't say it, Shen Qingyan took the initiative to ask.

"You want to ruin Qingmei's reputation by exposing this matter?"

Zhiyu was shocked and said anxiously: "This is definitely not what I meant. I just want to know... who Qingmei gave the cakes to."

When she finished speaking, her voice couldn't be any softer.

Shen Qingyan didn't even bother to pick on it, as she already understood most of it.

"That means you have a crush on a certain guard in the guard camp. You are afraid that Qingmei likes the same person as you, so you use this method to force her to tell you, right?"

Now that her thoughts were revealed, it became difficult for Zhiyu to hide it.

"Princess, please forgive me. I was bewildered for a moment and did something so wrong..."

Shen Qingyan interrupted her coldly, with an intimidating presence without even getting angry.

"Zhi Yu, it seems that I am too tolerant of you on weekdays, which is why you have become more impulsive and erratic recently. I don't need such a person around me."

Zhiyu’s face turned pale instantly. Shen Qingyan’s meaning was very simple. She would not let someone like her stay by her side anymore.

And she was the person assigned by Gu Beihuai to Shen Qingyan. If Gu Beihuai knew about it, she would definitely die. Even if she didn't die, she would be thrown back to the Dark Guard headquarters and be beaten to a pulp.

Thinking about how hard he had worked to climb up from the bottom step by step, and that hellish place, Zhiyu couldn't help but shudder and immediately kowtowed heavily.

"My Lady Princess, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance."

Shen Qingyan bent down slightly, reached out and lifted Zhiyu's chin so that she was looking at her at eye level.

"I can give you the opportunity, but it depends on whether you can seize it."

Zhiyu met her eyes that were as cold as frost and forced himself to remain calm.

"Princess, please give me your orders. I will do whatever you ask me to do, even if it means my death."

"That's not necessary." Shen Qingyan curled her lips slightly, "You just need to complete three things."

"First, which guard do you like?"

what?

Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, then she realized that the princess didn't want to embarrass her and was deliberately giving her a way out, and she felt touched.

Little did they know that Shen Qingyan just wanted to gossip.

Zhiyu's cheeks flushed slightly and she spoke in a hushed tone.

"The person I like is..."

However, before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door.

Shuo Feng said respectfully, "Princess, the prince wants to have lunch with you?"

Usually it was Gu Beihuai who took the initiative to come to Yuxuanyuan for lunch, but today he suddenly sent Shufeng to inquire, so it might not be as simple as having lunch.

So Shen Qingyan immediately replied: "Let's go now."

"Yes."
