The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

The reason why Gu Beihuai returned to the cell was to be able to personally interrogate Gu Chenan.

I didn't expect that his nominal brother would be so difficult to kill. He caused Yan'er so much suffering in the previous life that his ghost lingered around even after his death in this life.

Not only did he dare to come back to harass Yan'er, he even caused chaos in the imperial palace!

If he had not taken Shen Qingyan into consideration just now and was afraid that she would see his ruthless side, he would have had someone pull out Gu Chenan's tongue so that he would never be able to utter Yan'er's disgusting words again!

When Gu Beihuai arrived, Pei Zheng was torturing Gu Chenan.

He waved him off.

Gu Beihuai and Gu Chenan were the only two people left in the cell.

Gu Chenan's body was covered with marks of whipping, and the mark on his chest was clearly visible, looking extremely miserable.

Even so, his mouth still wouldn't stop talking.

"Gu Beihuai, now that you have everything, you are very proud, right?"

Gu Beihuai's eyes slowly swept across the torture instruments on the table, and finally he selected a small and exquisite scimitar, slowly roasting it over the burning charcoal fire until the blade was burnt red.

He came in front of Gu Chenan, his eyes were deep and cold, revealing a coldness that could not be ignored.

"Gu Chenan, you shouldn't have come back."

Gu Chenan sneered, and a sarcastic expression gradually spread across his face.

"Gu Beihuai, apart from using some despicable means on me, how else can you win? If you have the guts, then let me go and we will compete fairly."

The moment he finished speaking, Gu Beihuai's scimitar pierced his shoulder blade fiercely.

"Gu Chenan, do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with me now?"

The scimitar is not like an ordinary dagger, especially since the blade has been burned.

Gu Chenan was sweating from the pain and gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Beihuai, I won't give up. Even if you kill me, I will still come back!"

Gu Beihuai was not frightened by his words. Instead, he slowly pulled out the scimitar.

This process was extremely painful for Gu Chenan. If he had not been tied to the wooden frame, his legs would have gone weak and he would have knelt down in front of Gu Beihuai.

"Don't worry, no matter how many times you are reborn, I will never let you get what you want."

"However, you should never, ever speak nonsense in front of Yan'er, and you should not kill the people around her."

Before Gu Chen'an could recover from his shock, another scimitar strike came, this time cleanly and efficiently, directly cutting off his tongue.

"what!!"

The shrill screams filled the entire cell, and Gu Chenan fainted miserably.

Gu Beihuai walked out slowly, took the handkerchief handed over by the eunuch, and carefully wiped the blood stains on his hands.

When Shen Qingyan woke up, it was already early morning the next day.

The wet nurse had just finished feeding Yuxuan.

The well-fed little one is sleeping peacefully in the cradle, and his chubby little face makes people want to pinch it.

In fact, Shen Qingyan did the same.

The result was that the little guy was woken up.

Shen Qingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she and the nanny coaxed the child to sleep for a long time before finally getting him to sleep again.

After breakfast, Qingmei told her the good news.

"Fuling and Yu Hongyan have confessed everything. Hua Yan discovered the passage in the dry well, so he teamed up with Gu Chen'an to silence the witnesses. Yu Hongyan had an affair with Gu Chen'an, who went by the alias Shun'an. Although she did not participate in the murder, her crime is unforgivable. The emperor has ordered that Fuling and Yu Hongyan be executed immediately at the Meridian Gate."

"What about Gu Chenan?"

Qingmei lowered her voice and said, "I heard that his method of death was quite special, which could make him never be reincarnated. I haven't found out the specific method."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyan understood and felt relieved.

As long as Hua Yan can be avenged, it will be enough, even if they die ten thousand times.

The matter came to an end. Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Yuxuan was one month old.

Gu Yuxuan’s full moon banquet was held with great ceremony. All court officials above the fifth rank could attend with their families. What surprised Shen Qingyan was that Rong Lan also came.

The river channel in Shuzhou was finally opened. No one knew what method Rong Lan used to make Zhanri Kingdom give in. All he knew was that when he appeared at the banquet, his left arm was empty.

Gu Ruxiao was teasing the little Yunmiao in her arms. She was more than two months old now. Her eyebrows and eyes had grown more mature, and she was as pretty as a little doll that walked out of a painting.

Somehow, Gu Ruxiao just casually glanced at the guest seats and met Rong Lan's gaze.

Gu Ruxiao was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Rong Lan quickly shifted his gaze.

Gu Ruxiao didn't take it to heart.

The full moon banquet officially begins.

The full-month gifts that the ministers gave to little Yuxuan were almost piled up. Naturally, they had to curry favor with the future crown prince who was named prince at birth.

Of course, Gu Yuxuan didn’t understand any of this now. Their real purpose was to do it for Gu Beihuai to see.

After the gift-giving session, songs started, bottles of wine were opened, and delicacies were presented one after another.

Everything was peaceful at first, but a loud cry broke the atmosphere.

At the banquet, a woman in gorgeous clothes, holding a child of about two or three years old, knelt down in haste to apologize.

"I am disrespectful to you, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Shen Qingyan saw it, her beautiful eyes half-narrowed, a little confused.

"Mrs. Chu, is this your child?"

Madam Chu was the legal wife of Chu Zhenglian, the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Mrs. Chu quickly said, "That's right."

Shen Qingyan's brows slowly furrowed, "Why isn't the child's nurse around? Is the child hungry?"

Mrs. Chu was a little flustered and hurried to explain.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that Mian'er has been spoiled since childhood, so I was raised by you alone, without a wet nurse."

There are not many mothers in the families of the rich and powerful who feed their children themselves like Mrs. Chu, which is enough to show how much she loves her children.

As he spoke, Mian'er had stopped crying.

Shen Qingyan didn't think much about it. Just as she was about to wave her hand to let Mrs. Chu go back to her seat, the child started crying again.

"what happened?"

Mrs. Chu became even more flustered and wanted to cover the child's mouth.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will take Mian'er away right away."

"If you can trust me, why not bring me here and let me take a look."

Mrs. Chu was somewhat flattered. "How can this be possible?"

While saying this, the man had already walked forward.

However, before he could reach the top seat, he was stopped by Qingmei.

Qingmei took the child from her and handed it to Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the child.

Her face was red, but she didn't look like she had a high fever. Her crying stopped after Shen Qingyan hugged her. Now she was staring at her with her big black eyes open.

At this moment, Madam Chu suddenly said, "Mian'er, please don't cry in front of the Queen."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mian'er suddenly reached out her hands, hugged Shen Qingyan's neck, and stammered in a baby voice: "Smells good, the Queen smells so good... I like it, Mian'er likes the Queen..."
