The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

"Yan'er, I promised Rong Lan that if he succeeds in this matter, I will spare his sister's death sentence..."

Shen Qingyan's pupils shrank and her eyebrows twisted instantly.

She understood what Gu Beihuai meant.

As an emperor, he naturally has to make his words count.

Qiu Ying has passed away. Although it has nothing to do with Rong Fenghua directly, she doesn't want the person who once harmed Qiu Ying to go unpunished.

"Your Majesty, now that the body of the Imperial Aunt is still warm, are you going to release the murderer who killed her? How can the Imperial Aunt rest in peace in her grave?"

Shen Qingyan was a little excited, her cheeks were stained red because of anger, and her eyes were also a little red.

Gu Beihuai felt regretful that he shouldn't have mentioned this matter in front of Shen Qingyan.

"Yan'er, that's not what I meant. I will make Rong Fenghua pay the price, but her life must be saved..."

Shen Qingyan didn't want to listen to him anymore, and her tone became colder.

"Your Majesty only cares about family and national affairs and interests, and doesn't he have any human feelings at all? The Queen's aunt was almost miscarried by Rong Fenghua, and she also intended to murder me. If I hadn't predicted it in advance, do you think the Emperor would still see me now?"

"If such a vicious woman remains in the world, who knows how many schemes and tricks she will use to harm others. Doesn't the emperor know what endless disasters mean?"

Shen Qingyan became more and more excited as she spoke, and Gu Beihuai's face gradually darkened.

He admitted that this matter was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but he had promised Rong Lan this personally, so there was no possibility of going back on his word.

"Yan'er, Rong Lan has made great contributions. This matter can completely offset his merits and demerits..."

Shen Qingyan was breathing rapidly, her two red eyes like rabbits glared at Gu Beihuai, and she quickly interrupted him.

"The Emperor also said that it was Rong Lan who made the contribution, so why should his contribution be used to offset Rong Fenghua's mistakes?"

"Even if he did, it was because he didn't discipline his sister well enough. In any case, it can't be offset by the mistakes made by Rong Fenghua."

Gu Beihuai rubbed his brows with a headache, and said helplessly: "Yan'er, I have already made a decision on this matter, don't make trouble anymore."

Shen Qingyan was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Beihuai in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

"Yan'er, I'm very tired today. I wanted to share my joy with you, but now I shouldn't say anything more."

Shen Qingyan smiled, and her smile was cold, which complemented the unmelted winter snow outside the window.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that releasing Rong Fenghua, who murdered the Empress Aunt, is a happy event?"

Gu Beihuai was speechless, his eyes were as cold as ice, and there was a hint of anger in them.

"Yan'er, you know that's not what I meant."

Shen Qingyan's eyes were full of disappointment. She gently pushed Gu Beihuai's hand away, her voice cold and silent.

"It seems that my opinion is not in line with the emperor's wishes. In this case, I will not disturb the emperor from his official duties."

After saying that, he stopped looking at Bei Huai, turned around and covered himself with the quilt.

Gu Beihuai's hand froze in mid-air. After sighing softly, he slowly walked away.

Since he had already promised Rong Lan, there was no reason for him to take it back. Moreover, Rong Lan had already found a solution to the water shortage in Shuzhou and had made a great contribution. When he returned, Rong Fenghua would definitely be released.

Even if she is not released, her life must be saved because of her brother's contribution.

Shen Qingyan was still pregnant, and he didn't want to argue with her too much and affect her mood, so he could only go back and think of a compromise.

Not long after Gu Beihuai left, Shen Qingyan sat up from the bed.

Qingmei stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has left. Eunuch Su said that he had urgent official business to attend to."

Shen Qingyan knew that she was just comforting herself and deliberately finding an excuse for Gu Beihuai to leave.

Shen Qingyan was even more disappointed about this.

Yes, Gu Beihuai is now the emperor, not just her emperor, but the emperor of the entire Tianfeng Kingdom.

He no longer has to consider just her, but family and national affairs, the well-being of the people, and his every word and action.

Therefore, her words and actions now seemed unreasonable in Gu Beihuai's eyes.

Qingmei had been observing her expression, and seeing this, she comforted her again.

"My lady, please don't think too much..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Shen Qingyan said calmly, "Let's go and see Aunt Huang's child."

"Yes."

Just as Shen Qingyan was about to go out, she heard Gu Ruxiao's noisy voice outside the door.

"Sister-in-law, save me..."

Shen Qingyan immediately went out to check, and found Gu Ruxiao holding a swaddling baby in a very clumsy manner. When he saw Shen Qingyan, he immediately walked towards her quickly.

"Sister-in-law, I..."

However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly stumbled and rushed forward quickly, and the swaddling clothes in her hands flew away with her movement.

"careful!"

Shen Qingyan screamed and tried to catch it but it was too late.

The palace maids and eunuchs of Zhaohua Palace reacted quickly. They rushed forward and quickly lay on the ground to act as a cushion for the swaddling clothes.

Qingmei was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly picked up the swaddling clothes, only to find that the weight was wrong.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a swaddling cloth with no baby inside.

A false alarm.

Gu Ruxiao was supported by the palace maid and did not fall. She scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

"Well, I was just practicing how to hold a baby. The baby is being held by the nurse."

"..."

Fortunately, the child was fine. The palace maids and eunuchs quickly got up and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Shen Qingyan also breathed a sigh of relief and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by saving you just now?"

Speaking of this, Gu Ruxiao's face instantly fell and he started to complain.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know how noisy this little guy is. I really can't take care of him. I haven't had a good sleep for two days."

After saying that, he yawned loudly.

Shen Qingyan burst out laughing, thinking it was a bit exaggerated.

"Okay, where's the baby? Let me see."

The nurse quickly brought the child over.

The baby in the cradle was sleeping soundly, with fair and tender skin, and his eyes and eyebrows looked very much like Gu Wenyu, but after looking at him for a long time, he looked very much like Qiu Ying.

Shen Qingyan sighed and felt distressed in her heart. The child lost his parents just after he was born. It was really pitiful.

"Has the child been named yet?"

Gu Ruxiao shook her head. "I have thought of a few, but I haven't told my brother yet. Why don't you help me think of one, sister-in-law?"

So the two of them had something to do, and they spent the whole morning thinking of a name for the future little princess.

Royal study room.

Looking at the letter from Rong Lan coming from Shuzhou, Gu Beihuai breathed a sigh of relief.

Things are going smoothly. Rong Lan has successfully closed the lower reaches of the Xilan River. The Shouyue Kingdom has lost its water source, and negotiations have been held with them.

They were forced into a corner and had no choice but to go to Zhanri Kingdom and ask them to reopen the floodgates to release water to Shuzhou of Tianfeng Kingdom.

only……

Rong Lan had a plea.

That is to prevent Rong Fenghua from suffering in prison again. Although he is still imprisoned, he is not in a cell.

Rong Lan’s thoughts were simple. He didn’t want his beloved sister to suffer any more.

Logically speaking, Gu Beihuai should agree.

But he had a hard time explaining to Shen Qingyan.
