The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

As it was getting late, the banquet was scheduled for the next day.

When Gu Beihuai returned to the palace, it was already dark.

When he saw that the candles in Yuxuan Courtyard had been extinguished, he knew that his little princess had gone to bed.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, he was just about to go to Shen Qingyan's place to sleep, when Leng Feng told him everything that had happened on the street that day.

Of course, Gu Ruxiao did not hide the fact that he went out of the palace to see Shen Qingyan.

Gu Beihuai's pupils were as black as ink, and his knuckles tapped lightly on the table, giving people a strong sense of oppression and deterrence.

He didn't even dare to make a sound, but just lowered his eyes and waited respectfully for instructions.

After a long time, so long that the cold wind was cooling the sweat on his back, Gu Beihuai finally spoke.

"Tomorrow's banquet, the Queen and the Five Princesses are invited to attend, as well as the prominent ministers and nobles in the capital, and they can bring their families."

Leng Feng raised his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"My Lord, is this...something wrong?"

Gu Beihuai's cold gaze was like a sharp knife, piercing his back and forcing him to lower his head unconsciously.

"My subordinate made a mistake."

Gu Beihuai naturally had his considerations for doing this.

Since Gu Tianyan has openly broken off relations with him, there is no need for him to hide it. Let's see who loses control first and takes action first.

"Just do it."

"Yes."

After Gu Beihuai gave the order, the mansion immediately sent out invitations to each mansion.

Before midnight, all the important people in the capital had received the invitation.

Gu Tianyan was about to go to bed, but when he heard the news, he coughed and gasped.

Su Yuande hurried forward to help him calm down.

"Your Majesty, Prince Huai's actions this time must mean that he doesn't want to resist anymore."

"Hmph!" Gu Tianyan slammed the table heavily and coughed hard again.

"Why don't you stop resisting? He is clearly provoking me!"

Such a high-profile move, and right after he had completely lost the power of the Ministry of War, what could this be if not a provocation?

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came hurriedly and reported carefully.

"Your Majesty, this is an invitation sent by His Royal Highness Prince Huai."

Gu Tianyan was so angry that he almost fainted.

Okay, okay, you’ve got me now, this is all a provocation!

Su Yuande was also somewhat shocked. Isn't this Prince Huai too bold? He came to deliver an invitation to the emperor in the middle of the night?

So he lowered his voice and asked the young eunuch.

"It's curfew now, so how did the invitation get in?"

Gu Tianyan sat up straight and realized this problem.

The young eunuch said in a low voice, "The imperial guards at the palace gate said it was sent by the Huaiwang Mansion. It is extremely urgent, so I dare not delay, so I rushed it here."

Royal Guards?

Gu Tianyan's eyes gradually showed a cold look, "This Imperial Guard must be found for me tonight!"

At this point, he already suspected that Gu Beihuai had extended his hand into the palace and even infiltrated the Imperial Guards.

However, all the imperial guards in the palace searched for a whole night but could not find the imperial guard that the young eunuch mentioned.

Little did they know that after delivering the invitations, the Royal Guards immediately changed into the clothes of the Imperial Guards.

The next day.

It was only after Shen Qingyan stood up that she learned about the banquet at the palace and was immediately surprised.

Seeing this, Qingmei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. The banquet has been arranged. You don't need to worry about it."

After hearing this, Shen Qingyan felt even more guilty.

Ever since she entered the palace, Gu Beihuai had never let her work hard to manage the complicated affairs of the palace. There were two housekeepers in the palace to manage the affairs, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

Of course, Gu Beihuai didn’t mean to deny her power, but he was afraid that she would be overworked.

Zhiqing added: "The prince also said that if the princess doesn't want to attend, she doesn't have to go."

Shen Qingyan quickly shook her head, "No, you have to go."

She is the princess, how can she not attend? Wouldn't it make Gu Beihuai lose face?

"Qingmei, Zhiqing, help me dress up."

The two men stepped forward immediately, but both looked as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Qingmei then said hesitantly, "Princess, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Chen is here too."

Shen Qingyan paused as she picked up the jade comb. Gu Chenan is here too?

She tasted something different and asked suspiciously, "Who else?"

"I heard that they also sent invitations to the Queen and the Princess's Mansion. Oh, and to the Emperor as well..."

Shen Qingyan was extremely shocked.

What is Gu Beihuai going to do?

Why are they suddenly invited to a banquet? Could it be...

No, she wants to get to the bottom of it!

So he immediately got up and walked out.

However, just as he reached the door, a tall and straight figure came towards him.

Shen Qingyan was unable to stop for a moment and bumped into him head-on.

Gu Beihuai immediately hugged her and checked her forehead.

"What are you going to do in such a hurry, Yan'er?"

Shen Qingyan rubbed her forehead. Although it was not Gu Beihuai's fault, she still said angrily, "I still have to go find the prince. He didn't let anyone know when he came, which made me so embarrassed."

Gu Beihuai was not angry when he heard this, but instead his brows were filled with smiles.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'll let Yan'er deal with it, okay?"

Shen Qingyan snorted, her tone even more coquettish, "Your Highness is teasing me again. No matter how I deal with you, you will always take advantage."

Gu Beihuai raised his eyebrows slightly and was in a very good mood.

"Hmm? Yan'er, tell me more about it. What kind of treatment can allow me to gain an advantage?"

Shen Qingyan opened her mouth and instantly realized that Gu Beihuai had taken advantage of her again.

"I won't tell you this anymore." Her face turned slightly red and she quickly changed the subject. "Why did your Majesty suddenly hold a banquet? What is he planning to do?"

Gu Beihuai pinched her increasingly chubby face, lowered his eyes to look at her, his Adam's apple moving slightly.

"It's just an ordinary banquet."

Of course Shen Qingyan didn't believe it. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Gu Beihuai's next words.

"Gu Chenan will come too."

Shen Qingyan became unhappy when she heard him emphasize this.

"Your Majesty, do you want to test me?"

"Whether he comes or not is none of my business. Since the prince doesn't trust me, then I won't attend."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the house.

Gu Beihuai panicked and immediately grabbed her hand.

"Yan'er, that's not what I meant. I just..."

But what? He couldn't tell.

Even though Shen Qingyan now truly and completely belongs to him, he still feels afraid of losing Shen Qingyan.

The two have been in love for a long time, how could Shen Qingyan not understand his heart?

She wasn't really angry, she just wanted an excuse to attend the party.

"Humph, that's clearly what the prince meant. Never mind. I won't argue with the prince. I have to attend the banquet anyway."

Then he raised his foot and walked out again.

Gu Beihuai laughed in silence, then stepped forward and wrapped his big palm tightly around her small hand.

"In that case, let's go together."

Shen Qingyan smiled brightly, "Okay."
