The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Gu Beihuai looked over instantly, his expression slightly changing.

"Walk?"

Shen Qingyan nodded, her eyes sparkling, she knew that the prince understood what she meant!

Gu Beihuai took her hand and said to Shen Pinghe in a cold voice: "It's getting late. I have important matters to attend to in the army, so I won't accompany you any more."

At least he found a reason and gave Shen Pinghe enough face.

Shen Pinghe took a deep breath and was about to speak when he saw several ministers who had followed Gu Beihuai just now also stood up, made up a few excuses that didn't seem like reasons, and left with their families.

Most of the guests had left, and the few remaining people were either Gu Chenan's dogs or Shen Pinghe's dogs.

Shen Pinghe's chest was heaving with anger, but he had no idea what to do.

Arrogant, too arrogant!

Gu Beihuai and Shen Qingyan, one is the prince of the current dynasty, and the other is his daughter, but neither of them actually takes him seriously!

He is the most trusted minister of the Emperor of Tianfeng Kingdom. Even the prince Gu Chen'an has to be courteous to him. Gu Beihuai is just an unpopular prince Su. Why is he so arrogant? !

Also, how did Shen Qingyan know that he had corresponded with Gu Chen'an? Did Gu Chen'an tell her?

No, that's impossible.

It was a nice birthday banquet, but Shen Pinghe was already furious before he even had the meal.

Gu Chenan's gaze followed the tightly held hands of Gu Beihuai and Shen Qingyan until their figures disappeared.

Somehow, he felt inexplicably unhappy.

"Prime Minister Shen, what happened before I came?"

Facing Gu Chenan's question, Shen Pinghe's expression was hard to describe, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of impatience.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. These are just some girls' matters."

Naturally, he didn't dare to talk about the leak of correspondence.

Gu Chenan complained in his heart: I am not worried, I am just afraid that he will be implicated.

----

At the same time, Shen Qingyan and Gu Beihuai had already boarded the carriage back home.

Shen Qingyan held her chin with both hands, and looked at Gu Beihuai with eyes that seemed to be filled with stars, reflecting the pure and brilliant starlight.

"My Lord, thank you for what I did today. If it weren't for your help, I would have to work harder to deal with them."

Gu Beihuai said expressionlessly: "You are my princess, and you represent my reputation when you go out. I just don't want to be criticized."

Shen Qingyan was slightly startled, and the stars in her eyes instantly turned into bubbles of disappointment.

So he was just afraid that she would get him into trouble?

Gu Beihuai stared at the military book, but he did not miss the disappointment in Shen Qingyan's eyes out of the corner of his eye.

After a moment's silence, he suddenly spoke.

"If you encounter such a thing again in the future, I will help you solve it."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyan's eyes lit up again.

"Really, my lord? I knew you were the best to me!"

Gu Beihuai didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and pretended to read a book to hide his true emotions.

It turns out that every word he says can affect Shen Qingyan's mood.

He stopped looking at her and tried his best to ignore her emotions, because he was afraid that one day, such beauty would be gone again.

While Shen Qingyan was surprised, she was also planning to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow.

I wonder if he will still be willing to go back with her tomorrow? Will he still help her?

Shen Qingyan was so absorbed in thought that she didn't notice that the carriage had arrived at the gate of the palace.

Shen Qingyan was not shocked until Gu Beihuai got up and left.

"My Lord, wait for me!"

However, after getting off the carriage, he found that there were many people gathered at the gate of the palace.

Shuofeng came to report immediately.

"Your Highness, someone from Prince Chen's Palace sent ten sets of jade headpieces, saying they were for..."

Shuo Feng glanced at Shen Qingyan and said cautiously, "It's for the princess."

Shen Qingyan's heart skipped a beat and she immediately thought something was wrong.

Gu Chenan didn't send it earlier or later, but sent it at this time with such fanfare. It was definitely intentional.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation." Shen Qingyan said anxiously, "Actually..."

"Do you like it?" Gu Beihuai interrupted her coldly and threw out three words.

"No, no, no, I don't like it at all. This is what Gu Chenan promised last time..."

However, before he could finish his words, Gu Beihuai walked into the palace without looking back.

"Your Majesty!"

Shen Qingyan lifted her skirt and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by a man who looked like a butler at the door.

"Princess Su, please wait a moment." The butler smiled and said respectfully, "Princess, His Royal Highness Prince Chen asked me to send you ten sets of jade headpieces. I need you to personally review them."

Shen Qingyan looked at him coldly, resisting the urge to slap him, and said coldly: "Leave the things behind, you, get out."

The butler didn't show any sign of anger and still had a smile on his face.

"Yes, princess."

Not long after, all the people sent by Gu Chenan left. Ten sets of jade headpieces were neatly placed in an open sandalwood box at the door, attracting various looks from the people.

"How dare the Princess Su accept Prince Chen's things in front of Prince Su?"

"I heard that she had an ambiguous relationship with Prince Chen. Is it so open now?"

"Tsk tsk, Prince Su's green hat is really green!"

"Hush, you dare to say that, do you want to die?"

The onlookers were talking about it. If everyone spitted at her, Shen Qingyan would be drowned by now.

Gu Chenan was deliberately pushing her into the fire, allowing rumors to tie the two of them together.

Shen Qingyan sneered in her heart. Rumors and gossips never defeat people, but their hearts.

Her white jade fingers gently picked up a pair of exquisitely decorated jade headpieces, and with a snap, she dropped them to the ground.

There was a sudden silence around, and no one knew what she meant.

"Everyone." Shen Qingyan's face was cold and calm, without a trace of guilt or panic. "I think everyone has seen that it was sent by Prince Chen, but everyone knows that I am the Princess of Su, not the Princess of Chen. The Prince of Chen did this because he loves me but cannot get me, and he wants to ruin my reputation."

The people looked at each other, and suddenly felt that what she said seemed to make sense.

Recently, there have been rumors that the Princess of Su has suddenly changed her temper and stopped acting like a troublemaker, and that she and the Prince of Su are now even more affectionate.

Is it true?

"So, I can't take these things, but I can't send them back either."

Shen Qingyan curled her lips into a faint smile, and her expression gradually softened.

"In that case, how about giving it to you all? It will save my reputation and won't offend the King of Chen."

what?

As soon as these words came out, they instantly exploded among the crowd.

This pair of jade headdress is worth at least thousands of taels of silver, which is something an ordinary person could never earn in a lifetime. If you can get one, you won't have to worry about anything in your life.

But Shen Qingyan's change of tone made many people back off.

"I have a condition. If you want to get something, you have to post a piece of writing or painting to show that I have already severed ties with Prince Chen and am in love with Prince Su."
