The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

"Rong Lan, I know you are always loyal and would never do such a thing, but the fact that you happened to be there alone is indeed suspicious. If you don't give me an explanation, I will assume that you did it for Ru Xiao."

After hearing what Gu Beihuai said, Rong Lan's body stiffened and he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty has a keen eye and nothing can be hidden from you. Actually, I am upset about Fenghua's matter, so I came out for a walk alone."

"I never expected to see what Her Royal Highness the Princess was looking for, so I became curious. Besides, it was so late, and she only brought a maid with her..."

Gu Beihuai raised his eyebrows slightly, "So you were worried about her safety and followed her secretly?"

Rong Lan nodded and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. If it were any other woman, I would do the same."

Gu Beihuai, however, looked very interested, "No need to explain, I understand."

Rong Lan met his gaze and felt a little uneasy.

Afterwards, he gritted his teeth and told the whole story in detail, but omitted the fact that Gu Ruxiao was held in his arms.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Beihuai looked at him with an even more ambiguous look.

Rong Lan was a little panicked, and thought back to what he had just said, and there was nothing wrong with what he said...

In this regard, Rong Lan could only suppress the discomfort in his heart.

Fortunately, the suspicion was cleared, but he needed to cooperate with the Guards to search for the whereabouts of the thief.

Gu Ruxiao was furious when he heard the news.

"Brother, are you really out of your mind? Do you trust him like this?"

Caiyun was startled by her words and quickly closed the door, "Princess, don't say that."

Gu Ruxiao curled his lips, still not convinced.

No, she must investigate this matter thoroughly!

Night falls.

Gu Beihuai came to Zhaohua Palace as usual and had dinner with Shen Qingyan.

The two seemed to have a telepathic connection and neither of them mentioned the fact that Shen Qingyan stayed in Concubine Qi's palace last night.

Shen Qingyan was a little unsure of Gu Beihuai's thoughts.

Does he really not care, or is he angry?

Or is he planning some big move to tease her?

Gu Beihuai enjoyed the meal very much, but Shen Qingyan was a little absent-minded.

After dinner, the two went for a walk in the Imperial Garden as usual, just like usual.

In response to this, Shen Qingyan let down her guard a little.

"Your Majesty, look, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight!" Shen Qingyan snuggled in Gu Beihuai's arms, amazed by the bright moon in the sky like a jade plate.

"Well, she is indeed beautiful, but not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as you, Yan'er."

"Hehe, Your Majesty is teasing me again."

"I am telling the truth." Gu Beihuai gently lifted her hair that was messed up by the wind, and his tone was equally gentle, "In my eyes, Yan'er is the most beautiful woman in the world who makes my heart beat faster."

"Really?" Shen Qingyan tilted her head, a little unconvinced, "But there are many women in the world who are prettier than me. Your Majesty is too one-sided."

"I've already said it's in my eyes."

"Okay, okay, then whatever the emperor says is what's going to happen."

Just like that, the two of them held hands and talked to each other until the cold wind blew.

"It's getting late, we should go back to bed."

Shen Qingyan was a little alert, "Your Majesty, I have to go to Concubine Qing's palace tonight. Concubine Qing has been in a bad mood recently, and I want to go and accompany her."

Excuses are all excuses.

Gu Beihuai felt sour in his heart, but on the surface he said calmly: "In that case, I have a better idea."

Shen Qingyan didn't notice that she was about to fall into his trap, and asked casually: "What's the idea?"

"It's really troublesome for Yan'er to move around like this, so I decided to let each of them take turns staying in Zhaohua Palace. How about that?"

Shen Qingyan thought about it and thought that this was a good idea.

So I agreed immediately.

In this way, Concubine Qing was summoned to Zhaohua Palace to sleep.

She never expected that she would be summoned by the emperor to sleep with him, and she never expected that she would be summoned to act as a invisible person.

Concubine Qing was arranged to live in a side hall because it was impolite to live in the same bedroom with Shen Qingyan.

But when Concubine Qing came, Gu Beihuai did not leave.

"Don't worry Yan'er, I will just hold you to sleep tonight and won't do anything else."

Although Shen Qingyan was skeptical, she couldn't anger Gu Beihuai every time, so she had to agree.

The strange thing is that Gu Beihuai really did what he said this time. He just hugged Shen Qingyan and didn't do anything inappropriate.

Shen Qingyan was secretly delighted. That was great. It seemed that the idea of ​​letting concubines live in her palace was indeed effective. Why didn't she think of it before?

For several days in a row, Gu Beihuai restrained himself, which made Shen Qingyan feel a little strange.

That’s not right. This is not Gu Beihuai’s character. Is he secretly fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures?

Shen Qingyan couldn't figure it out, but she was happy and relaxed.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and Shen Qingyan held Yu Xuan in her arms while basking in the sun, while chatting with Qingmei and the others.

Qingmei and a few others were helping Zhiyu walk in the yard. Although her tendons in her hands and feet had recovered, she still couldn't walk properly and needed to exercise more.

Zhiyu walked a long way and was sweating profusely. Qingmei helped him sit down and rest.

"Your Majesty, I will be able to walk soon, and then I can serve you!" Zhiyu said excitedly.

Shen Qingyan poured her a cup of tea and teased her with a smile, "Okay, okay, I will wait for you to serve me. I will be safe and healthy in the future."

Zhiyu blinked, looking mischievous.

"I also hope that the Emperor and the Empress will be safe and healthy, and everything will go well. I also hope that the Emperor will recover soon..."

Before he could finish his words, Qingmei and Zhiqing covered his mouth at the same time.

Shen Qingyan's hand, which was drinking tea, suddenly froze and her face became as gloomy as water.

"what happened?"

Zhiyu reacted and quickly changed her words, "I was wrong. What I meant was that the emperor could live forever and be with the queen forever..."

Shen Qingyan looked at her expressionlessly as she frantically tried to make amends.

"I am not a fool. Tell me, what's wrong with the emperor's health?"

Several people exchanged glances, but no one dared to say anything.

Shen Qingyan started to call out names.

"Qingmei, you say."

Qingmei knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the emperor is indeed a little unwell, but Eunuch Su said that everything is fine at the moment and nothing serious will happen in the short term..."

Shen Qingyan's expression became increasingly gloomy.

"Qingmei, you are the most trustworthy person around me. Even you are planning to deceive me?"

Qingmei kowtowed quickly, her voice trembling slightly.

"My lady, I did not intentionally lie. I don't know much about this matter. It was Eunuch Su who mentioned it unintentionally that day. I asked him for a long time before I learned this little bit..."

Zhiqing quickly added: "Your Highness, Qingmei is right. We have tried our best, but Eunuch Su is very tight-lipped this time..."
