The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

The masked man's words were like a stab at Fuling's wound, making her grit her teeth in anger.

"That's because you didn't give me a clear plan. You knew that I was from Southern Xinjiang and was unfamiliar with some of Tianfeng's rules, yet you still gave me such a difficult task."

The masked man was too lazy to argue with Fuling, so he turned and left. His inky black clothes brought up a gust of cold wind, and he came and left in a hurry.

Fuling was anxious, "You're just leaving like that? What should I do next? Tell me clearly!"

The masked man walked away in a cool manner, with no intention of paying any attention to her.

Fuling was like a clown, standing alone and disheveled in the wind.

The masked man is a ray of light for her as she walks on the dangerous road in the deep palace. Of course, that light is made of gold.

Fuling agreed to make a deal with him out of Guang's consideration, but she never expected that once she entered the abyss, there would be no turning back.

She didn't know the exact identity of the masked man, but she could guess that he was not working for the Tianfeng Kingdom, because his purpose was very clear, starting with Shen Qingyan and pulling Gu Beihuai down from that position.

She thought about it for a long time and felt that the person behind the masked man either coveted the throne or had a grudge against Gu Beihuai. After comprehensive consideration, she felt that this person was most likely Prince Yu Gu Wenyu.

I heard that when the late emperor Gu Tianyan was still alive, he trusted his younger brother very much, and there were even rumors that he wanted to pass the throne to him.

Fuling felt that if she were Gu Wenyu, she would also take action against Gu Beihuai if the throne that she could have obtained was snatched away by Gu Beihuai.

What's more, apart from Gu Beihuai, the only one who can arrange people in the palace and come and go freely is probably Gu Wenyu, right?

Thinking of this, Fuling slowly lay down on the bed, looking at the tightly bandaged wound on her arm, thoughtfully.

The next day.

It was still dark, but Shen Qingyan couldn't sleep, so she got dressed and washed up early.

Zhiyu walked in with dark circles under his eyes, still remaining vigilant.

"My lady, the assassin must have been scared to death by the imperial guards and will never show up again, so I don't have to do it."

Shen Qingyan almost spit out the flower tea she had just taken, and kindly advised: "Zhiyu, in fact, this assassin didn't get any advantage from me, you don't have to pursue this matter any further."

"How can that be?" Zhiyu said seriously, "It was my fault for not protecting the Majesty. If I meet that scoundrel who dared to break into the Majesty's bedroom at night again, I will definitely skin him alive and tear his tendons into pieces..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhiqing coughed and saluted from behind.

"See the Emperor."

Zhiyu did not dare to be negligent and bowed quickly.

Shen Qingyan bowed expressionlessly, not wanting to say a single word.

We just met last night, nothing much to talk about.

Gu Beihuai walked in slowly, with his hands behind his back awkwardly, and suddenly looked at Zhiyu with a stern gaze.

"You are loyal."

These words sounded like a compliment, but Zhiyu felt a chill on his back.

The emperor must be unhappy because they failed to do their job.

So I admitted my mistake immediately.

"I failed to protect the queen and let the unknown thief enter the house and cause chaos. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Gu Beihuai: Very good, he now has a new title, traitor.

Since he is a traitor, he might as well be as bad as possible.

"You have indeed failed in your duty. Go and receive the thirty-stroke punishment."

Gu Beihuai said "you" instead of "you guys". Although Zhiyu was confused, she did not dare to refute and immediately agreed.

Before she went downstairs, she heard Shen Qingyan's cold and indifferent voice.

"Your Majesty is very busy, so please do not bother to punish the servants. Besides, I have already dealt with the traitor myself, and only injured his arms and waist. I believe he will not be so bold as to be a traitor who is not worthy of being on the stage again."

Gu Beihuai's silence was deafening.

No matter how slow Zhiyu was, she realized that something was wrong. Shen Qingyan was indeed defending her, but it seemed like she was saying it on purpose for Gu Beihuai to hear.

After she came to her senses, she chose to remain silent in order to avoid being treated as a nuisance.

If someone else called Gu Beihuai a traitor, then naturally there would be no good ending, but Shen Qingyan was different.

Gu Beihuai was silent for a moment, silently digesting the title of traitor Shen Qingyan gave him, and said lightly: "It's up to you."

Zhiyu quickly thanked him.

Then Shen Qingyan and Gu Beihuai stopped talking, and the hall fell into a depressing silence.

Until Yu Hongyan and others arrived.

After being named a concubine, Yu Hongyan dressed very ostentatiously, covered in jewels and precious stones, doing nothing to hide the beauty of her status.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Yu Hongyan's voice wasn't very pleasant before, but now it sounded so delicate that people who heard it frowned.

Gu Beihuai looked straight ahead and said in a cold voice, "Let's get started."

Yu Hongyan opened her mouth, feeling a little dissatisfied.

But luckily she wasn't stupid enough to show it, so she responded gently.

“Yes, but with so many people…”

"Everyone, stand down."

Qingmei and the others looked at each other, did not move, but looked at Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan nodded slightly, and they left cautiously.

Yu Hongyan saw it all and her mind was in turmoil.

This Concubine Zhao is truly extraordinary. Not only does she have a brother who dotes on his sister, but she can also make the Crown Prince of Zhaoxing Kingdom, who has been believed to be cold-hearted when he grows up, so fascinated by her.

She had no intention of vying for favor, she only asked Gu Beihuai to allow her to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, considering that she had served the empress dowager and him before.

Because she had inquired before coming here, there were not many women in Gu Beihuai's harem. As long as she took the position of concubine, no matter how many women came later, she would be a veteran figure.

Now seeing how Gu Beihuai tolerated Shen Qingyan, she suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis.

Thinking of this, she looked at the small medicine box beside her.

It is filled with instruments and insects needed to understand the love poison. If one is missing or wrong, Shen Qingyan will die.

Just as her thoughts were drifting away, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Su Peichang appeared in front of her with a forced smile, holding a tray with a bowl of black medicine on it.

"The Emperor sympathizes with Concubine Yan's hard work in removing the poison, and has specially ordered me to prepare a bowl of nourishing medicine for you. You will surely feel more energetic after drinking it, and you will be more careful and attentive in removing the poison."

Yu Hongyan's heart was shocked and she immediately looked at Gu Beihuai.

She was no longer a simple little girl, not to mention a palace maid who had served the Queen and the Empress Dowager. She knew better than anyone what this bowl of medicine meant.

For Shen Qingyan, Gu Beihuai actually went to such lengths!

“Do I have to drink it?”

She asked while looking at Gu Beihuai.

But the other party did not give her any response. The person who spoke was Su Peichang.

"Empress Yan, the Emperor is doing this for your own good. Please drink."

Yu Hongyan smiled bitterly, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp while enduring the bitterness.

She knew very well that this bowl of medicine was a poison that forced her to detoxify Shen Qingyan, but she still chose to drink it.

Sure enough, after Su Peichang watched her finish drinking, he continued.

"Don't worry, Concubine Yan. Once you have finished removing the poison, the Emperor will make you some nourishing medicine to comfort you for your hard work."

In other words, once the love poison is resolved, she will be given the antidote.
