Shen Qingyu was immediately delighted and couldn't help but spin around: "Have I lost weight?"

"Hmm." Xiao Yunqi glanced at her waist, then his gaze swept over her chest before he looked away and said, "Your waist has gotten thinner."

My chest hasn't gotten smaller.

Shen Qingyu, unsuspecting, chuckled and said, "I have indeed lost weight, and my clothes are much looser now."

Xiao Yunqi was dazzled by her laughter, and looked at the door behind him: "Shall we go in and talk?"

"Okay!" Shen Qingyu nodded and went into the room first.

Xiao Yunqi's room was extremely simple, with nothing but bedding, a bed, a table, and a cabinet.

It's like an inn.

Shen Qingyu sat at the table, and Xiao Yunqi sat on the bed. The two looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

Shen Qingyu spoke first: "How are things going in the capital?"

Xiao Yunqi nodded slightly: "It's resolved."

He initially thought it was his stepmother who had secretly harmed Shen Qingyu, but her words made him suspicious.

After investigating, he discovered that someone was using his stepmother's name to try to kill Shen Qingyu.

Now that we've got the Hidden Dragon Guards, and they feed a thousand mouths, it would be a waste not to use them.

So Xiao Yunqi ordered the Hidden Dragon Guards to investigate, and the results came out quickly.

The order to kill Shen Qingyu actually came from the palace!

Xiao Yunqi frowned deeply: The late emperor's empress was his aunt. She didn't die this time, but was imprisoned in the palace and honored as the empress dowager. He heard that she lived in Yilan Palace.

Could it be that she disapproved of Shen Qingyu marrying her, and therefore wanted to use her stepmother to kill Shen Qingyu?

Xiao Yunqi managed to meet with his aunt, the Empress Dowager, and expressed his strong desire to live with Shen Qingyu, begging her to let Shen Qingyu go.

The Empress Dowager's aunt denied it, but surprisingly, she agreed to help investigate and find out where the rumor originated in the palace.

In the end, he never saw his aunt, the Empress Dowager, again, but the order to kill Shen Qingyu disappeared.

Of course, Xiao Yunqi wouldn't tell Shen Qingyu about these things, only saying, "The matter has been resolved, you don't need to worry."

Shen Qingyu was used to Xiao Yunqi not telling her anything, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you should get some rest."

As Shen Qingyu was about to leave, Xiao Yunqi felt anxious but didn't dare to reach out and stop her. In his panic, he called out, "Wait..."
