The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

"careful!"

Gu Chenan supported Shen Qingyan immediately, put his right hand around her waist, and let her entire weight rest on him.

Qingmei and the others were terrified and immediately stepped forward, only to find that what tripped Shen Qingyan was a withered rose vine.

Not far away, Gu Beihuai happened to come to the Imperial Garden and saw this scene.

Gu Chenan never let go of his hand. He leaned sideways and asked with concern.

"Yan'er, are you okay?"

From Gu Beihuai's perspective, the two of them were pressed tightly together, very close to each other, and whispering.

Shen Qingyan raised her eyes suddenly, and her eyes met Gu Chenan's concerned and worried gaze. Their breathing was almost intertwined, and there was a weirdness in the ambiguity.

"What did you just call me?"

Gu Chenan was shocked, knowing that he had just shouted out the name in his mind in a moment of panic.

Just as he was about to explain, Gu Beihuai came walking quickly towards him.

Before Gu Chenan could react, he was pushed aside by a powerful force and almost lost his balance.

Shen Qingyan has fallen into Gu Beihuai's arms.

"Yan'er, are you injured?"

Shen Qingyan shook her head. "I'm fine. Why is the emperor here? Have you dealt with everything?"

After making sure that she was okay, Gu Beihuai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained.

"It's nothing serious. I came here because I heard you were here."

Then he looked at the withered rose branches on the ground, his eyes cold and dark.

"Su Peichang!"

Su Peichang also saw the rose branch, and a chill ran down his spine. He hurried forward trembling with fear.

"The slave is here."

"All the gardeners and palace maids who were responsible for pruning and cleaning the imperial gardens were to be executed."

"Yes."

"Wait." Shen Qingyan tugged at Gu Beihuai's sleeve. Perhaps because she was pregnant, she was always soft-hearted. "Your Majesty, I'm not injured. Isn't execution too harsh?"

Gu Beihuai thought for a moment, and his tone became less cold.

"Yan'er is kind, so I won't kill him. But he can't escape the punishment alive. I will punish him with fifty lashes of the cane."

Shen Qingyan: “…”

It would be more satisfying than to be executed...

Well, she didn't want any more trouble before the baby was born.

At this moment, "Lu Jiuxiao", who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, fifty strokes of the cane will surely make a person bloody and bruised. Concubine Yan... Concubine Zhao is still pregnant and cannot stand the smell of blood. It would be bad if it hurts the fetus in her belly."

Although Gu Chenan's words were full of concern, for some reason, Gu Beihuai vaguely sensed a hint of hostility, just like the uneasiness he felt when he supported Shen Qingyan just now.

Rong Lan's words that there was something wrong with Lu Jiuxiao suddenly popped up in his mind, and he became wary.

"Lu Jiuxiao, you seem to know a lot about these things."

Gu Chenan met his cold gaze without any sign of retreat or fear.

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. This is just common sense. If my woman were pregnant, I would consider this for her."

His words showed that even he understood the common sense, but Gu Beihuai did not.

The two looked at each other. Gu Beihuai exuded a terrifying and cold aura, and his eyes were so dark that you couldn't see to the bottom of them.

Even if he were to live his life again, Gu Chenan would still feel cold and timid in his heart when facing Gu Beihuai like this again.

The atmosphere between the two became tense. Gu Ruxiao, who was standing by, didn't understand why the two became like this and tried to smooth things over.

"Brother, Lu Jiuxiao, what happened to you?"

However, neither of them heard her.

Gu Beihuai opened his thin lips slightly, and with just one sentence, Gu Chenan's momentum instantly weakened.

"Lu Jiuxiao, from today on, you are not allowed to step into the harem or the princess's mansion without my permission."

Gu Chenan clenched his fists. He had money but no power now. He didn't even have the confidence to speak in front of Gu Beihuai. How could he have the courage to confront him?

I almost exposed my identity today due to an impulse.

Shen Qingyan was afraid that the two of them really had some conflict, so she held Gu Beihuai's hand and said gently: "Your Majesty, I am really fine, and you should not be angry, otherwise if you get angry and get sick, I will be distressed."

The soft voice was right beside his ear, and the slender fingers were quietly hooking around in his palm. Even if Gu Beihuai was burning with anger in his heart, it disappeared without a trace at this moment.

Lowering her eyes slightly, Shen Qingyan's deer-like eyes were sparkling, with a faint smile and a hint of coquettishness.

Gu Beihuai's voice became several degrees softer, and he helped her tighten her cloak.

"It's windy outside, would you like to go back?"

Shen Qingyan nodded and gently rested her head in his arms, "Okay, Your Majesty, accompany me back. For dinner, I want to eat lotus root..."

"Okay, I'll let the imperial kitchen prepare it."

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Ruxiao quickly gestured to Lu Jiuxiao.

Go, go quickly!

Looking at the sweet and loving appearance of Shen Qingyan and Gu Beihuai, Gu Chenan's heart seemed to be stabbed by something sharp, and he was filled with indignation and unwillingness.

Gu Beihuai, sooner or later, I will take back everything that belongs to me.

Gu Chenan looked deeply at the backs of Gu Beihuai and Shen Qingyan, then turned and left.

Gu Ruxiao stood there for a long time without coming back to her senses. She gave orders to the guards around her.

"Follow Lu Jiuxiao and see where he will go and what he will do."

"Yes."

It was obvious that something was wrong with Lu Jiuxiao, but she had to figure out what caused such a strange change in him.

When we returned to Zhaohua Palace, dinner had already been served.

Su Peichang was very efficient. The lotus root that Shen Qingyan wanted to eat was included in the dinner and was placed in front of her where she could reach it.

"Your Majesty, eat first."

Shen Qingyan picked up a piece of lotus root and handed it to Gu Beihuai's lips.

Gu Beihuai opened his mouth and ate it, looking at Shen Qingyan with burning eyes, their eyes met in the air, and they were about to draw threads.

At this time, Su Peichang, who didn't understand romance, hurried forward and said attentively: "Empress Zhao, I will serve the dishes."

Gu Beihuai glanced at him coldly, and the atmosphere dropped instantly.

"You have nothing to do?"

Su Peichang was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and do my work now."

Then he signaled the other eunuchs to retreat quickly.

Qingmei, Zhiqing, Zhiyu and others also left in a hurry and closed the door considerately.

Gu Beihuai showed a satisfied look on his face, "No one will disturb us now."

He now has higher and higher requirements for his own world of two, and no one can disturb him and Yan'er.

Shen Qingyan was troubled by Gu Beihuai's possessiveness.

Forget it, it’s your man, just pamper him.

But Shen Qingyan suddenly remembered something.

"Your Majesty, has the Ministry of Rites decided on the matter of the eighteen women entering the palace? When can they enter the palace?"

Even if I am disabled and cannot sleep with the emperor, I can still meet him, right?

Gu Beihuai's expression darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Yan'er, are you tired of me?"
