Shen Qingyan pretended to be casual and said to Bai Shao: "The river here is turbulent, and there are not many fish and shrimps in the river. You will find them if you go a little further down."

Before Bai Shao could say anything, the Queen interrupted her with great dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that I came out of this palace in the middle of the night just to eat fish and shrimp?"

Only people with a guilty conscience would get so angry.

Bai Shao glanced at the Queen with resentment and admired her ability to lie with her eyes open.

Shen Qingyan was not angry either, and said slowly: "Queen, don't be angry, I just said it casually. I heard that the Queen didn't eat much for dinner. I still have a lot of barbecue. I wonder if the Queen will eat it?"

The queen suddenly felt humiliated and ridiculed, and became even angrier.

"Shen Qingyan, you know that I am devoted to Buddhism and no longer eat meat, but you still say such things. What is your intention?"

Shen Qingyan smiled faintly, "But people say that as long as you have Buddha in your heart, it doesn't matter what you eat or drink. Your Majesty, you don't have to be too demanding in this regard."

When she said this, the queen hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Really?"

"Of course it's true."

The queen followed this step and said, "If that's the case, then I just need to have Buddha in my heart."

After returning, Shen Qingyan and Qingmei quickly took a shower, changed clothes, and drank a bowl of ginger soup, which made them feel better.

The same thing happened to the Queen. After hearing what Shen Qingyan said, she felt that she had a reason to eat meat, so she asked Bai Shao to serve some barbecue.

But those barbecues were far less delicious than the ones Shen Qingyan sent.

If she were asked to ask Shen Qingyan for it, she would never be able to do it.

"You dead girl, you eat so well."

She herself didn't even realize that the way she addressed Shen Qingyan had changed from "little bitch" to "dead girl".

At this moment, Bai Shao came in hurriedly and said in surprise: "Empress, the princess is here!"

The queen rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "Why should we be happy about her coming?"

“She brought a lot of barbecue.”

That is indeed worth celebrating.

The queen immediately sat up straight and asked Bai Shao to hide the plate of tasteless meat.

"Let her in."

"Yes."

Outside the tent, Qingmei was a little confused, "Princess, why do we need to send meat to the Queen? But do we need to be on good terms with her?"

Shen Qingyan poked her forehead and said with a smile: "Silly Qingmei, she treated me like that before, do you think this is possible? Think about the reason carefully again."

Just then, Bai Shao called them in.

Shen Qingyan and Qingmei walked in.

"The Queen must have not had time to ask for food to be served yet. I wonder if this is enough for us to eat?"

The Queen glanced at it and said nonchalantly, "Leave it there. I'll eat it in a minute."

He said it would take a while, but in fact he started eating as soon as he got off the couch.

However, as soon as he took a bite elegantly, Shen Qingyan spoke.

"Actually, I came here this time to ask for something."

The queen immediately spat out the barbecue she had just eaten.

She knew that this damn girl had no good intentions.

"What do you think I am? Someone you can trade and use at will?"

Shen Qingyan smiled calmly and said slowly, "The Queen is of noble status, I dare not, but since it concerns the prince, I have to inform the Queen."

When the queen heard about Gu Beihuai, she couldn't sit still.

"What happened to Bei Huai? What happened?"

She naturally knew that the emperor had fallen ill in Prince Huai's Mansion, and she was very suspicious about it, but in order not to implicate Gu Beihuai, she had been forcing herself not to ask.

If it is really related to this matter, then Beihuai is in danger!

Shen Qingyan had been paying attention to the changes in her expression. Seeing that she was anxious and worried, she kept it a secret.

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but this matter is of great importance. I want to fulfill the condition you promised me and help the prince."

"It's a great thing that you have this intention." The Queen praised her for the first time, and then asked impatiently, "What happened in Beihuai?"

Shen Qingyan still didn't say anything and looked at Bai Shao.

The queen understood immediately and immediately drove Bai Shao out.

After Qingmei and Baishao stood guard at the door of the tent, Shen Qingyan finally felt at ease and boldly whispered to the Queen.

"Empress, the prince... wants to give it a try."

As for what she was fighting for, the Queen understood without her saying anything.

Her body trembled, somewhat incredulous.

"Is it a success or a failure?"

The Queen's voice was trembling. In fact, she could tell from the Emperor's illness and Gu Chen'an's disappearance, but she felt that her Bei Huai was not an impulsive person. There must be something she didn't know, but she didn't dare to ask.

Shen Qingyan said in a gentle tone, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The success or failure of this matter is uncertain because we still need your help."

The Queen asked anxiously, "What do you need me to do?"

"The emperor is still in the Huai Palace. It is not appropriate to continue like this. The prince's suspicion will only grow. So the emperor needs to return to the palace as soon as possible."

The queen instantly understood the other meaning of her words.

Gu Beihuai wanted to take this opportunity to leap forward, and even wanted to...

But he couldn't do it, and he couldn't be labeled as a regicide, otherwise he would be criticized even if he sat on the throne.

Gu Tianyan must not die in the Prince Huai's Mansion, he can only die in the Imperial Palace.

And if she wanted to find a future for Gu Beihuai, this was a good opportunity to clear the biggest obstacle for Gu Beihuai.

The Queen's heart was beating like thunder. Although she was willing to do anything for Gu Beihuai, this was too bold.

But if he doesn't do this, Gu Beihuai doesn't know how long it will take for him to succeed, not to mention that there is also Gu Chenan who is eyeing him covetously.

In a moment, the queen made her decision.

"Okay, I will handle this matter."

As long as her Beihuai can succeed, she is willing to bear eternal infamy.

"There is one more thing." Shen Qingyan said with a trace of guilt, "The Queen wants to trust the Prince unconditionally. Is it possible?"

The queen was unconsciously attracted by her serious expression and naturally agreed.

"How can I not believe in my son? Are you trying to sow discord between us?"

Shen Qingyan: “…”

Okay, okay, she said the wrong thing.

"In that case, I won't disturb Her Majesty the Queen from having her meal."

After Shen Qingyan left, the queen was worried and ate the barbecue in slow motion.

Bai Shao saw this and became curious.

"Your Majesty, what did the princess say to you?"

The queen glared at her and suddenly said in a stern voice: "What does it have to do with you if you keep talking too much?"

Bai Shao was startled and immediately knelt down to apologize.

The queen didn't mean to embarrass her, but she still said coldly: "Since you are so talkative, go and ask if the Prince of Chen has been found."

"Yes."

The queen's eyes were dark and her mind was full of thoughts.

Since Beihuai needs her, she is willing to go through fire and water.
