"Where are you going? Huh?"

Gu Beihuai's aura enveloped his body. Shen Qingyan listened to his slightly hoarse and aggressive voice and subconsciously wanted to shrink back.

"I just went to the princess's residence to visit Ruxiao."

Gu Beihuai's big hand restrained her waist, trapping her in his arms so that she could not move.

"Then why are you running?"

"Hehe." Shen Qingyan smiled like a fox and whispered, "I made a small mistake. I wonder if it will have an impact on the emperor."

Get into trouble?

Gu Beihuai laughed dumbly, "Have you caused as much trouble as Tangtang?"

Ever since Gu Huatang came back, the palace, which had been cold and dull, suddenly came alive.

Of course, the more important reason was Gu Huatang’s lively and active personality, but more often than not, he got into trouble.

Somehow she got to know Ah Man. She liked Ah Man, the big guy, very much. Ah Man also liked her, the tiny kid, and often carried her on his shoulders to play around.

The two, one big and one small, became troublemakers walking around in the palace.

When Shen Qingyan heard Gu Beihuai say that, she told him about the beating she had given Wan Changhu.

Gu Beihuai's expression suddenly turned gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

"He is so bold that he dares to covet my queen."

Shen Qingyan comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I haven't suffered any loss. I'm just afraid that Wan Changhu will be dissatisfied and make a big fuss, which will bring trouble to Your Majesty."

Gu Beihuai looked stern and touched her head.

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter and solve this problem before the Wan family can cause trouble."

"I remember the emperor said before that he had not found any definitive evidence. Isn't it too hasty to convict him like this?"

"And this will only convict you of the crime of disrespect. Not only will you not be able to completely uproot the Wan family, but it will also easily alert the enemy. So it's okay for me to suffer a little injustice, but I must not delay the emperor's plan."

Shen Qingyan said this seriously, shaking Gu Beihuai's arm.

"I have a better way to obtain evidence of the Wan family's private recruitment of soldiers and collusion between officials and businessmen."

Gu Beihuai became interested.

"Yan'er, tell me about it."

Shen Qingyan whispered something in his ear.

"How is it? Isn't this method of mine good?"

Gu Beihuai frowned.

"That's not right. Wan Changhu is a bastard. What if..."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will not suffer any loss. Even if I do, it will be Wan Changhu who suffers."

Gu Beihuai thought about it and still didn't agree.

So Shen Qingyan used her trump card.

"Your Majesty, I am really bored staying in the palace all day. I finally got a chance to eliminate evil, but Your Majesty still doesn't agree. Then let me die of boredom in the palace..."

As soon as he heard the word "death", Gu Beihuai's face changed immediately.

"No nonsense."

Shen Qingyan snorted and deliberately turned her head away to ignore him.

Gu Beihuai sighed silently. He knew that Shen Qingyan had to deal with a lot of trivial matters every day since she came back, and it was very hard. In addition, Gu Huatang clung to her and made a fuss every day, so he saw her frowning more and more.

How could he not feel distressed?

That's it.

"Then it's a deal. Don't act tough when necessary. I will send secret guards to protect you."

"I knew the Emperor was the best!"

Shen Qingyan immediately kissed Gu Beihuai on the face.

Gu Beihuai's eyes lit up and he pointed to the other side of his face.

"Where's this side?"

Shen Qingyan cooperated very well and kissed him.

Gu Beihuai pointed to his lips again.

Shen Qingyan didn't think much about it. As soon as her lips touched, Gu Beihuai took the initiative.

It's too late to escape.

It's another beautiful spring night.

The next day.

When Shen Qingyan woke up, she received some good news that made her feel relieved.

Gu Beihuai issued an edict, asking Concubine Xue and Shen Qingyan to assist in managing the six palaces and take charge of palace affairs.

It seems that she can leave the palace without any worries, give Wan Changhu, the wretched man, a good lesson, and at the same time find evidence of the Wan family's wrongdoings.

Little did people know that after receiving the decree, Concubine Xue looked melancholy.

Tang Yuan was a little puzzled. "My queen, you have the power to assist in managing the six palaces. This is a good thing. The other concubines do not have this honor. Why are you not happy?"

Xue Fei sighed and asked faintly, "Do you really think this is an honor?"

Tang Yuan didn't quite understand and scratched his head, "What else? The emperor must have trusted you, so he let you and the queen manage the harem together."

Concubine Xue shook her head to herself. She knew in her heart that the emperor was just worried that the queen would work too hard.

However, this job also has its advantages. It allows me to concentrate on one thing, keep my mind clear, maintain my figure, and no longer overeat like before.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and start working. Since the Emperor and the Empress trust me, I will do my best to fulfill their mission."

Xue Fei has developed the good habit of doing things as soon as she says they will, and she started to handle the affairs immediately.

Liu Mansion.

Since learning that Concubine Xue was in charge of the harem affairs, Minister Liu and Madam Liu were very happy.

Madam Liu, in particular, requested permission many times to enter the palace to visit her daughter, but was rejected by Concubine Xue every time.

Mrs. Liu comforted herself about this.

"Xue'er must be too busy with work, so she has no time to see us."

Liu Yuner, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and said angrily, "Mom, stop deceiving yourself. Liu Xueer is an ungrateful bitch. The queen was in seclusion for three years before, and she was in full control of the harem, but she didn't do us any good at all. What do you expect now?"

Mrs. Liu was speechless for a moment. Although this was the fact, she still scolded.

"Yun'er, don't talk nonsense. Xue'er is your sister. She is the Snow Concubine. From now on, our entire Liu Mansion will depend on her. Don't treat her the same way as before."

After hearing this, Liu Yuner was not convinced but she said nothing more.

Madam Liu was right. Not only did the Liu family rely on the benefits brought by Concubine Liu Xueer, but even her marriage depended on her.

This is also the reason why Madam Liu frequently wanted to bring her into the palace to meet Liu Xueer.

Ever since the last incident with Yun Sheng, Liu Yuner's reputation has been ruined. The entire circle of noble ladies knows that she eloped with a man named Yun Sheng and then abandoned him. Now, even if the matchmaker spreads the truth, no one dares to marry her.

She is a person with high aspirations and looks down on those rich kids.

She thought that even though Liu Xueer was disabled and ate like a pig, she still caught the emperor's eye. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was more than qualified to be a concubine in the palace. The emperor would definitely like her when he saw her.

"Mother, I have an idea. Why don't you go and ask the Queen Mother for help? I heard that the Queen Mother is very easy to talk to. As long as she agrees, you will definitely be able to see Liu Xueer. Even if she doesn't want to see you, she will have to."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she realized that this was the truth.
