The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Fuling came up with a plan and immediately called Yu Hongyan after the jailer left.

Yu Hongyan felt pain all over her body, and she was completely unaware of Fuling's call.

Until she whispered something.

"I know how Hua Yan died."

……

When Gu Beihuai arrived at the Dali Temple, Pei Zheng had already prepared his confession.

"Your Majesty, Yan Changzai initially said she didn't know. After I asked her if she had killed anyone, she immediately changed her statement, claiming that she had killed someone, but she avoided explaining the process of killing."

Gu Beihuai roughly read through the confession and combined it with Pei Zheng's words, he had an idea in his mind.

But he didn't say it directly, instead he asked Pei Zheng back.

"Why do you think she changed her story but avoided the details?"

Pei Zheng immediately said respectfully: "I think she seems to be hiding something, or in other words, she is taking the blame for someone else."

Gu Beihuai's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he nodded and said, "Yes, in this case, we can start from this aspect. She will tell the truth."

Pei Zheng understood and continued, "I already have a suspect. There is only one eunuch in Lingyun Pavilion, named Shun'an. After Yan Changzai was taken away, he disappeared."

Shunan?

Gu Beihuai's eyes were deep, and he always felt that he had overlooked something.

Just as Shen Qingyan was about to go to bed, Qingmei came hurriedly reporting.

"Your Majesty, Shunan from Lingyun Pavilion wants to see you!"

If Qingmei hadn't specifically added Lingyun Pavilion, she would have forgotten about Shunan.

It doesn't come when it should come, but comes when it shouldn't come.

Maybe he should know something.

"Let him in."

The moment Gu Chenan came in hunched over, Shen Qingyan recognized him at a glance.

It's him!

No matter how well he disguised himself, she still recognized him!

Shen Qingyan's heart was pounding like thunder, but she tried her best to remain calm and winked at Qingmei.

"Qingmei, you go down first. Oh, and ask the imperial kitchen to remember to make the fish soup I love to drink. Make a crucian carp and tofu soup tomorrow morning."

Qingmei suddenly raised her eyes, exchanged glances with Shen Qingyan, and then she understood what she meant.

Shen Qingyan doesn't like eating fish, and even less like drinking fish soup.

This Shunan is very dangerous. She has to find a way to catch him and protect the Queen!

*

The huge room was very quiet, with only Shen Qingyan and Gu Chenan left.

"Shun'an, why did you come to see me?"

Shen Qingyan took a sip of tea and asked calmly.

Shunan's tone was urgent and sincere, "Empress, I am here to expose Concubine Yan. She has killed someone. She killed a maid named Hua Yan in the Empress's palace! She also tried to harm you!"

Shen Qingyan's hands suddenly clenched the teacup, pretending to be surprised.

"Are you serious? Why are you saying this now?"

Gu Chen'an buried his head even lower, "Before, Yan Changzai had been suppressing me, and I really had no chance... Now that Yan Changzai has been arrested, I am willing to confess all the evil things she has done, just to save my life!"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.

If Shen Qingyan had not confirmed his identity, she would probably have been moved by his sincerity.

The only thing to do now is to delay him as much as possible and wait for Qingmei to come for help.

"Really?" Shen Qingyan sat up straight and said calmly, "Look up."

Gu Chenan's body stiffened slightly and he slowly raised his head.

When he met Shen Qingyan's eyes, he could hardly control the surging emotions in his heart.

As long as Yan'er believes in him and lets him stay in Zhaohua Palace, he can see her up close every day!

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true."

Shen Qingyan frowned slightly. At that moment just now, she almost thought she had seen it wrong. The person in front of her gave her an extremely familiar feeling, as if she had seen him somewhere.

"Words are not enough. I need you to prove it with actual actions."

Gu Chenan had an idea long ago and pushed all the blame onto Yu Hongyan, including how she arranged people to help her dig the underground passage, how she had an affair with other eunuchs, and the process of killing Hua Yan. He cleared himself completely without leaving any flaws.

Shen Qingyan listened to him silently and sneered in her heart.

If it were her in her previous life, she would have believed it 100% by now, but now she has grown up with brains and will not be so stupid anymore.

At the door, the ghostly figure of Ghost Blade flashed by.

Shen Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing that everything outside had been arranged, just waiting for her order.

She felt very relieved.

She and Qingmei really have a tacit understanding.

Shen Qingyan stood up and looked down at Shunan.

"Do you know martial arts?"

Gu Chenan didn't realize that he was already full of loopholes, and immediately said: "I know some martial arts, so I can protect the queen."

Shen Qingyan bent down and looked straight into his eyes.

"Okay, then let me see how good your boxing skills are."

As soon as she finished speaking, countless guards rushed in from all directions and surrounded Gu Chen'an.

At this moment, no matter how stupid Gu Chenan was, he realized that he had been exposed.

"Lu Jiuxiao, although I don't know what your purpose is, but now, surrendering is the best option."

Gu Chenan gave a bitter smile, threw the poisonous insect in his sleeve to the ground and crushed it to death with his foot.

Everyone didn't understand what his action meant and looked at him warily.

The next moment, a magical scene happened.

Gu Chenan's face slowly changed from Shunan's face to Lu Jiuxiao's appearance.

When Gu Beihuai got the news, he rushed over as fast as he could, immediately holding Shen Qingyan in his arms, and his cold eyes shot towards Gu Chenan mercilessly.

Seeing how he carefully cared for Shen Qingyan, Gu Chenan suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

He lost, completely.

Gu Beihuai loved Shen Qingyan from the beginning to the end, without any intention of exploitation or betrayal.

But he couldn't do it.

No matter how many more lives he lives, he can't do it.

Never mind, he admitted it.

Gu Chenan met Gu Beihuai's gaze and called out a name that shocked everyone present.

"Brother, long time no see."

Gu Beihuai did not show any shock, but said calmly: "It's you."

This time, Gu Chenan looked at Shen Qingyan.

"it's me."

Shen Qingyan finally knew where that familiar look came from.

Gu Chenan!

Since she herself was reborn, she could accept the idea of ​​resurrection in a short period of time.

But I didn't expect that he was actually borrowing Lu Jiuxiao's body.

"Yan'er, if you have the chance to do it again, will you choose me?"

Shen Qingyan's expression was cold. Instead of answering, she asked, "Where is Lu Jiuxiao?"

Gu Chenan smiled, his smile was bitter and painful.

Yan'er would rather care about an outsider than choose him.

Then what was he holding on to? He had lived his life again and planned so much, but what was the point if Yan'er wasn't there?

"Yan'er, do you really want to be so cruel to me?"

Gu Chen'an's face was filled with grief, and through his tearful eyes, he was still hoping for Shen Qingyan's answer.
