The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Zhaohua Palace.

Shen Qingyan, Qingmei and others dressed up Zhiyu and finally achieved the desired effect.

"My lady, now Zhiyu looks about 70% like you. With the veil on, even we can't recognize you."

Shen Qingyan checked carefully and made sure there were no omissions before nodding with satisfaction.

"Luckily, Zhiyu's body shape is somewhat similar to mine, but this fake pregnant belly is a little uncomfortable to be tied to my body. Can you bear it?"

Zhiyu immediately patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, madam, it's a small matter."

Zhiqing made a "tsk" sound at her and reluctantly helped her tidy up her clothes.

"You are a queen now, you can't do such rude actions."

Zhiyu suddenly realized and quickly straightened his posture.

Shen Qingyan smiled and urged, "Okay, it's almost time, you should set off."

Qingmei was a little worried, "My lady, all the servants are gone, what are you going to do?

Shen Qingyan arranged Zhiyu's clothes and said gently, "There are so many people in Zhaohua Palace, how can they not protect me? You can go without worry, but you must take good care of Zhiyu. Remember, you must act well."

Qingmei and the others immediately responded.

The stage of Shen Qingyan's pregnancy did not allow her to leave the palace again, and she would not seek death by going out in a big way and jumping onto someone else's chopping board to be slaughtered. Naturally, she would have to take other measures when necessary.

Although she cannot appear in the plan in person, she can hide in the dark and grasp the direction of the entire plan.

Not long after, Gu Ruxiao sent someone to inform her that she had already put the bait and was waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Shen Qingyan felt relieved a little. Fortunately, Gu Ruxiao remained calm and everything was going according to her plan.

It's just that there was someone who was not in the plan and came unexpectedly.

The Queen Mother, the former Queen, suddenly came to Zhaohua Palace.

If there weren't people coming in and out of the Cining Palace every day, everyone would almost forget that there was an empress dowager who was indifferent to worldly affairs and spent her days in the company of green lamps and ancient Buddhas.

Shen Qingyan was caught off guard by the Queen Mother's sudden visit.

"See Queen Mother."

The empress dowager had lost a lot of weight, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood on her body. Her slightly cloudy eyes looked straight at Shen Qingyan, and her tone could not hide the surprise.

"You, are you willing to call me mother?"

Shen Qingyan was even more surprised than she was. Could it be that the Queen Mother had been worshipping Buddha for a while and that she was actually doing it out of conscience? Otherwise, why was the focus so strange?

Fearing that she might do something weird again, Shen Qingyan asked straight to the point.

"I wonder why the Queen Mother came here?"

She had plans and didn't want to waste time.

The Queen Mother looked at her with complicated eyes and suddenly smiled.

"You are still so wary of me."

Shen Qingyan looked at her quietly without saying anything.

The Queen Mother sighed softly and asked, "Is Bei Huai okay? Does he still like you as always?"

After she accidentally learned that Gu Beihuai was not her biological son, she never took the initiative to clamor to see him again.

She didn't know how to face this person who was not her biological son but was better than her biological son.

So she chose to escape, immersing herself in the Buddhist scriptures and sandalwood that brought peace of mind and tranquility every day.

But today, during her nap, she had a dream.

I dreamed that a mysterious man led tens of thousands of soldiers called demon soldiers, broke into the palace, took away Gu Beihuai's throne, and took Shen Qingyan away.

The reason for all this was that Gu Beihuai was not good enough to Shen Qingyan and hurt her, which made the mysterious man very angry and led to such behavior.

The dream was too real. She felt scared after waking up, but she didn’t want to face Gu Beihuai, so she came to find Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan didn't know her real purpose and just wanted to let her leave quickly and tactfully.

"The emperor is doing well recently, and the relationship between me and him is also very good, so mother, don't worry."

"That's good, that's good." The Queen Mother felt relieved instantly, but she also reminded him worriedly, "You and Bei Huai must be fine. If he bullies you or hurts you in any way, don't get angry. Tell me immediately and I will take care of it for you."

Shen Qingyan felt that the Queen Mother must be ill, and very seriously ill.

Who was the one who tried so hard to stop her from being with Gu Beihuai? A ghost?

Or did she reform herself and become a new person under the baptism of the Buddha's glorious light?

In short, Shen Qingyan found everything wrong with the empress dowager, just like the previous empress dowager found everything wrong with her.

"Mother, if you feel bored with worshipping Buddha, you can take a walk in the Imperial Garden, where the autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom."

What I mean is, just don't lose your mind in front of me.

The Queen Mother was filled with remorse. She should never have tried to stop her and Gu Beihuai from being together.

That dream was too real, and the man leading tens of thousands of demon soldiers was too terrifying. When she thinks back on it now, it feels like it was something that was about to happen.

In short, we must not offend Shen Qingyan at any cost now, because the person behind her is too powerful.

"Okay, I'll leave now. You must remember what I said and be good to Bei Huai. Don't do anything irreversible just because you are angry. I will help you."

Shen Qingyan thought she was talking nonsense because she was not in her right mind, so she could only patiently say, "I understand."

Seeing that she finally agreed, the Queen Mother left satisfied.

Shen Qingyan then breathed a sigh of relief. Calculating the time, Zhiyu and the others should have arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion by now, right?

Not long after Rong Fenghua left, Rong Lan hurried to Rong Fenghua's room, but didn't see anyone. After asking, he found out that his good sister suddenly changed her mind and went to Prince Yu's Mansion.

The more Rong Lan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he immediately sent someone to stop it.

But it was still a step too late. Rong Fenghua had already stepped into the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion with the support of Lvliu.

At this time, many noble ladies gathered in Prince Yu's Mansion, all of whom came to visit Qiu Ying.

The leader is naturally Gu Ruxiao.

Although they said they were visiting, in fact, except for Gu Ruxiao, no one else could even see Qiu Ying. They just came symbolically to bring some supplements, drink tea, talk, and then left.

But Rong Fenghua's appearance attracted the attention of everyone present.

She had gauze wrapped around her forehead and her face was pale. She was supported by a maid and looked like a sickly beauty, fragile and vulnerable.

Some of the noble ladies snorted in disdain.

"Why are you pretending? If you're injured, just stay in the mansion. Why are you pretending here?"

"Just pretending."

Rong Fenghua turned a deaf ear to those bad words, and walked straight to Gu Ruxiao and Shen Qingyan and bowed.

"Fenghua pays respect to Her Majesty Zhao Fei and Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Whenever she moved, the pearl hairpin on her head trembled slightly, becoming even more dazzling under the sunlight.

Gu Ruxiao glanced at the hairpin vaguely and curled his lips slightly.
