"I don't understand what the princess means." Shen Qingyan's expression became more and more indifferent, and she ruthlessly exposed her thoughts. "Princess, you are asking in such a roundabout way. I guess you are asking for the queen, right?"

"I don't want the prince to suffer any more trouble, so please go back, Princess."

Gu Ruxiao became anxious. Seeing Shen Qingyan was about to leave, he quickly stood up and grabbed her.

"Sister-in-law, it's not what you think. Mother just felt something was wrong, so she..."

But Shen Qingyan coldly broke free from her hand, said "Princess, please respect yourself," and strode away.

Gu Ruxiao was anxious and annoyed. She found that she had no reason to explain at all.

Little did he know that after Shen Qingyan left the house, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm sorry, Ruxiao, I can't and won't tell you anything about the prince.

Gu Ruxiao was angry alone for a while, and found that except for her maid, no one else in Fengyue Tower wanted to pay attention to her.

Even Shen Yuanmu's door was closed, and Ye Yuege did not stand guard at the door as usual.

Everything here gave off an air of unwelcomeness for her.

She was angry, aggrieved, and unwilling, but no one cared.

It feels like being abandoned by the whole world.

Xiangling asked cautiously, "Princess, shall we go back to the palace?"

Gu Ruxiao glanced at her unhappily, "What else can you do if you don't go back to the palace? Are you waiting to be ignored here?"

Xiangling lowered her head in grievance and responded by quickly arranging a carriage.

Before leaving, Gu Ruxiao looked at Shen Yuanmu's closed door again, hesitated several times, and finally did not step forward.

For some reason, seeing the queen's transformation, she couldn't help but be infected by her. Maybe she also tried to worship Buddha and recite some scriptures, which might change her character. Then, would Shen Yuanmu like her more?

Gu Ruxiao was thinking about all sorts of things and accidentally bumped into a woman in red when going downstairs.

Xiangling immediately scolded him, "How dare you! What crime will you be punished for bumping into the princess?"

Gu Ruxiao frowned and looked at the woman in red whom she bumped into.

It didn't matter when I saw it, I immediately laughed out of anger.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance.

Gu Ruxiao stretched out her hand to interrupt Xiangling's words, and said sarcastically: "Xiangling, there is no need to say anything. She is also a princess, and a princess of another country. It is human nature for her to be impolite."

She has always disliked Helan Huayin. When she shamelessly wanted to marry her royal brother, she wanted to slap her in the face to make her wake up.

Hearing Gu Ruxiao's words, Helan Huayin's face was immediately filled with anger, and she said in a cold voice: "The Fifth Princess's manners are not much better, and she has no royal princess demeanor at all. There is no need to ridicule her here."

Gu Ruxiao obviously couldn't stand it, and was about to explode when he saw Qingmei, who was beside Shen Qingyan, hurried over and bowed to Helan Huayin.

"Princess Huayin, our princess invites you to the private room on the third floor to talk."

Shen Qingyan didn't leave. She went to sit by the window in another room. She wanted to wait until Gu Ruxiao left before leaving, but she didn't expect that she would meet Helan Huayin.

In order to prevent Helan Huayin from saying something he shouldn't, she asked Qingmei to come and invite him.

Helan Huayin raised his eyebrows towards Gu Ruxiao and said to Qingmei in a clear voice, "Tell the princess that I will be there soon."

Gu Ruxiao's mind was in a turmoil and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

When did the emperor's sister-in-law become so close to this cheeky princess? No wonder she was so cold to me, could it be that the cheeky princess was behind this?

Thinking of the fact that Gu Tianyan dismissed Gu Beihuai from his post, Gu Ruxiao couldn't help but connect the two things together.

The shameless princess must have seduced the emperor's brother and bewitched the emperor's sister-in-law. Their relationship has become close, which will naturally make the emperor suspect that they are colluding with the Zhanri Kingdom...

Thinking of this, Gu Ruxiao broke out in a cold sweat.

Oh no, she had to tell her mother about this guess!

Without bothering to argue with Helan Huayin, Gu Ruxiao left in a hurry, just wanting to return to the palace as soon as possible.

Helan Huayin was very proud in his heart. Seeing your dejected look, I guess you ran into a wall with Shen Qingyan, right?

She has no use value and can only act like a princess.

Shen Qingyan withdrew her gaze only after seeing Gu Ruxiao's carriage leave.

Not long after, Helan Huayin pushed the door open and walked in.

What came into view was Shen Qingyan in white. She was sitting by the window, her slender fingers gently holding the teacup, looking cool, indifferent, gentle and refined.

A hint of surprise and envy flashed across Helan Huayin's eyes.

Gu Beihuai likes this, no wonder he rejected her.

Shen Qingyan spoke lightly, pulling her back to her thoughts, "Is there something wrong, Princess?"

"There's good news." Helan Huayin couldn't suppress his excitement and originally wanted to lower his voice, but then he thought about it and didn't care anymore.

Shen Qingyan took a sip of tea, a faint smile hanging on the corner of her lips, "What good news?"

Helan Huayin said anxiously, "I heard that after Shen Zhidie woke up, she realized that her innocence was gone and she almost bit her tongue to commit suicide. Fortunately, she was found in time."

"Really? What about Shen Yunjiao?"

Helan Huayin became even more excited. "I heard that she was tortured and her skin peeled off. The order has been issued to execute her in three days. She will definitely die."

Seeing her excited and happy expression, Shen Qingyan remained calm and instead gestured for her to have some tea.

Helan Huayin was a little puzzled.

"They are doomed to die. Aren't you happy?"

Shen Qingyan sighed deeply.

"Shen Zhidie's mother bribed someone, so I guess... she will be able to keep her life."

When Helan Huayin heard this, he could no longer sit still.

"How can this be possible? She is very smart. Do you know who she bribed?"

Sorry, it’s me.

Shen Qingyan shook her head, looking disappointed and sad.

She looked out the window and drank tea as if she was drowning her sorrows. Helan Huayin also became sad and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

After much difficulty in sending Shen Zhidie to jail, it seemed that revenge was about to be taken, but unexpectedly she still took advantage of the opportunity.

Helan Huayin paced back and forth in the room, her red skirt swaying as if carrying her anger.

"No, we must not let her succeed."

"But there is no other way now. The prince is no longer working in the Ministry of War, and the emperor is very suspicious. He has handed it over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, and does not allow outsiders to interfere..."

A hint of gloom and ruthlessness flashed in Helan Huayin's eyes, and he suddenly stopped and said.

"Don't worry, I still have a way."

Shen Qingyan's hand pouring tea paused slightly, then she understood.

It seems that Helan Huayin still has a backup plan, but I don’t know what she is going to do.

Shen Qingyan was a little bit looking forward to it, but the play still had to be performed.

"Princess, do you really have another solution?"

Meeting her surprised and expectant eyes, Helan Huayin suddenly felt that she must do this thing and do it well and not let Shen Qingyan down.

"Don't underestimate this princess. She is just the daughter of a prime minister. I have many ways to separate her head from her body and make her never stand up again."

What I'm waiting for is your words.
