Chapter 4 The Beloved Concubine of a Prosperous Era

Just now, Luo Xi deliberately made Xia Rou make a move to kill her.

Otherwise, since Shen Li is a marquis, and he and Madam Shen died while she was unharmed, others might suspect her.

She had no martial arts skills, and the forbidden puppet technique couldn't be used frequently. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she still had to pretend when necessary...

On the other side,

Qi Huai, holding a folding fan, strolled leisurely into the teahouse, followed by several spoiled young men.

Some time ago, Qi Huai, the only son of the Prince of Beichen, was summoned to the capital by the Emperor and allowed to stay there for an extended period.

Everyone knows what the Emperor means by this. He fears that the Prince of Beichen may have rebellious intentions, so he left the Prince of Beichen's only son in the capital.

If the Prince of Beichen rebels, then Qi Huai will certainly not survive.

If Prince Beichen behaves himself, then Qi Huai will live a good life in the capital...

The Prince of Beichen only has one son, Qi Huai, so he will definitely behave himself for Qi Huai's sake.

Qi Huai led his men up to the second floor and into the leftmost private room.

He had just taken a sip of tea when he heard that Lord Shen Li had been killed by an orphan girl he had brought back to the manor, and that Old Madam Shen had also died.

Qi Huai: "Serves him right, who told him to bring all sorts of people back with him?"

The young man in blue continued, "I heard that the orphan didn't want to be a concubine; she wanted to be a secondary wife. Of course, Marquis Shen's wife disagreed and demanded a divorce. Perhaps Marquis Shen still loved his wife, so he refused to divorce her. In the end, he told the orphan that he wouldn't marry her."

"Of course that orphan was unwilling. She was a ruthless character and directly killed both Lord Shen and Madam Shen."

"She originally intended to kill Lady Shen, but luckily the Imperial Guards arrived, otherwise she would have died too..."

"That woman was extremely skilled in martial arts. Even the guards of the Marquis's mansion were no match for her; they were kicked away in no time."

Actually, Shen Li was also skilled in martial arts, and quite skilled at it. He was killed by that orphan girl, so that woman must have been incredibly powerful, not just ordinary powerful...

Qi Huai stopped drinking tea and happily went to the Marquis's residence.

It was very close to the Marquis's residence; Qi Huai arrived there in less than a quarter of an hour...

The Marquis's Residence

Qi Huai walked in, his gaze first falling on the already dead Shen Li and Old Madam Shen. Then, he looked at Luo Xi, who was leaning against a pillar, looking absent-minded and pale.

Was it frightened? Definitely.

Luo Xi noticed his gaze and looked up to meet his eyes...

Qi Huai? What's he doing here?

Oh! By the way, he's someone who loves watching a good show, so it's not surprising that he came here.

Qi Huai paused for a moment, then walked towards Luo Xi.

He stood in front of Luo Xi. "Are you alright?"

Looking at Qi Huai's handsome and proud face, Luo Xi said weakly, "Something's wrong, I feel a little dizzy."

After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell directly towards Qi Huai.

Qi Huai: !!!

He hurriedly reached out and caught her, pulling her into a tight embrace. Her body was warm and soft, and his heart trembled violently…

The Embroidered Uniform Guards: !!!

Why are they hugging?

Isn't the young prince supposed to be celibate?

Moreover, she is the Lady of the Marquis, a stern and formidable lady.

Although Shen Li is dead, Lady Hou is still Shen Li's wife.

Moreover, is it really appropriate for the young prince to hug the wife of the deceased Marquis Shen in front of his corpse?
