The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

"You dare to attack my princess?"

Gu Beihuai's expression was cold, and his bloodthirsty murderous intent made the hearts of everyone present tremble. Shen Pinghe was even calmer, and his anger just now disappeared without a trace.

He almost forgot that Shen Qingyan was now the Princess Su, and he couldn't just hit her.

But what Shen Qingyan said just now was simply going to put the Shen family to death.

"Your Highness, Yan'er was talking nonsense for a moment. I am afraid that she will speak out of turn and bring trouble to Your Highness."

"I never thought Yan'er was a problem." Gu Beihuai's cold voice was like an ice blade, piercing Shen Pinghe's heart. "On the contrary, I think the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion are really disgusting. Not only do they openly slander the princess, but even Prime Minister Shen dares to commit crimes."

"If you dare to hit my princess now, will you dare to hit me in the future? You may even dare to be disrespectful to the emperor in the future."

Shen Pinghe's face changed drastically, he felt a chill on his back, and he immediately knelt down to apologize.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I dare not."

Seeing this scene, Shen Qingyan was moved, and suddenly felt that the strength and indifference she had prepared before coming here were useless because Gu Beihuai was here.

"Prime Minister Shen, I think you are very bold." Gu Beihuai looked down at Shen Pinghe. The strong sense of oppression and deterrence made him unable to raise his head. "If you sincerely admit your mistakes, then apologize to my princess. Otherwise, if you offend my princess, you will offend me. Naturally, I will also inform my father of everything you said today, including the correspondence between Prime Minister Shen and Prince Chen."

Shen Pinghe's body froze, and cold sweat could no longer be stopped from flowing down his forehead.

He gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Shen Qingyan.

"My Lady Princess, I was impulsive just now. Please forgive me."

This sentence was full of humiliation and unwillingness. Although there was nothing wrong with bowing to the princess in terms of etiquette, the person he was kneeling to was his daughter, whom he had always looked down upon, and he was extremely unwilling to do so.

Seeing Shen Pinghe's reluctant look, Shen Qingyan felt sarcastic in her heart, but on the surface she looked flattered and quickly helped him up.

"Father, this is not your fault. These are all unintentional words from my sisters. I won't blame them."

The phrase has a double meaning, which not only saves Shen Pinghe's face, but also implies that the matter was instigated by Shen Yunjiao and Shen Zhidie, and that if there is any fault, it is theirs.

To outsiders, Shen Qingyan's move was extremely sensible.

"I never thought that Prime Minister Shen would treat his daughter like this in private. If Shen Qingyan hadn't been the Princess of Su, I don't know what her life would be like in the Shen Mansion."

"Yes, I always thought that it was Shen Qingyan who was pestering Prince Chen, but now it seems that she was bewitched by Shen Yunjiao."

"If you ask me, Shen Qingyan is also stupid. They treated her like this, but she was stupid enough to speak for them..."

"Hush, she's the princess now, do you want to die?"

People said all kinds of things, but the looks they gave Shen Qingyan were filled with fear and sympathy.

Some ministers who were not on good terms with Shen Pinghe said bluntly, "Prime Minister Shen, I never thought that the daughter you taught would be so different. Not only did she commit crimes against her superiors, but she also made things difficult for her elder sister. I didn't believe the rumors that you favored your concubine over your wife, but now looking at your attitude towards your elder and concubine daughters, I think it's true."

"The government is so chaotic, I guess the comments made during the court session were not from the heart, right?"

At this time, Shen Yunjiao wanted to explain that her mother was already the co-wife of the deceased Chu Qingyue, and she was now the second daughter of the prime minister, but Qin Fenglan held her back.

Shen Pinghe's face turned pale and blue. He knew that if he didn't express his stance today, someone with bad intentions would submit a memorial to impeach him tomorrow.

He gritted his teeth and shouted at Shen Yunjiao and Shen Zhidie: "Kneel down!"

Shen Yunjiao was dissatisfied and said anxiously, "Dad, my daughter is seriously injured and cannot kneel down."

Shen Zhidie on the side was even more unconvinced, and said with her neck stiff, "Uncle, my second sister and I are telling the truth, why should we kneel down?"

Gu Beihuai held Shen Qingyan's hand and slowly stood up.

"It seems that Prime Minister Shen's position in the palace is difficult to convince everyone. Even his daughter can easily disobey him. It seems that this king is a bit embarrassed."

"In that case, I will not attend the Prime Minister's birthday banquet. Goodbye."

After saying that, he took Shen Qingyan and turned away.

Some of the officials who stood on Gu Beihuai's side came for his sake, and seeing this, they all left with their families.

Shen Pinghe panicked instantly. Today, Gu Beihuai and these people stepped out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Where would his face as Prime Minister be tomorrow?

In a hurry, he quickly raised his hand and slapped Shen Yunjiao hard.

"Rebellious girl, kneel down quickly and kowtow to the prince and princess and confess your guilt!"

"what!"

The unexpected slap made Shen Yunjiao, who was already unsteady on her feet, fall to the ground suddenly. The wound on her buttocks, which had not yet healed, came into close contact with the ground, causing her excruciating pain. Her shrill screams resounded throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shen Zhidie was so frightened that her face turned pale. Without Shen Pinghe's help, she immediately knelt down, and her tone took a 180-degree turn from before.

"Your Majesty, Princess, I just spoke nonsense because I was confused. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he kowtowed three times.

However, this time, Shen Qingyan did not help her up as gently as she helped Shen Pinghe just now, but just looked at her coldly.

When Shen Zhidie raised her eyes, she met the cold eyes of Gu Beihuai and Shen Qingyan, which made her shiver.

There was no choice but to continue knocking.

"Bang bang bang..."

The scene was silent, with only the sound of Shen Zhidie's kowtow being heard.

Her forehead was hit red and bright red blood flowed down her forehead, which was particularly shocking.

Finally, Shen Qingyan spoke.

"Sister Zhidie, you don't have to kowtow. It's good enough if you admit your mistakes."

Her tone sounded very gentle at first, but her cold eyes made people shudder.

Shen Zhidie gritted her teeth and stood up. Not only did she have to suppress her anger, she also had to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, my lord and princess."

After saying that, he was helped downstairs by the maid to bandage his wound.

On the other side, Shen Yunjiao was still lying on the ground groaning in pain, trying to escape.

Shen Qingyan walked slowly up to her, her indifferent and cold voice was like the ice growing in the winter night, chilling to the bone.

"I wonder if my sister knows she is wrong?"

Shen Yunjiao was half lying on the ground, looking like she was about to cry. If you didn't know better, you would have thought that Shen Qingyan had beaten her like this.

"Sister, no, Princess, I know I was wrong..."

Before she finished speaking, tears began to fall, making her look even more weak and pitiful.

Shen Qingyan nodded, looking good-tempered.

"It's great that my sister admits her mistakes, but as a sister, I have to be fair and just first. Zhidie kowtowed and admitted her mistakes just now, so my sister should not be an exception. Otherwise, others will say that I, as a sister, treat you differently."
