After this incident, Fang Qingyue continued to follow Shen Yuhan to check on the victims.

Shen Qiunian believed Shen Yuhan's words, but did not believe Fang Qingyue's.

He and Fang Qingyue had been engaged for so many years, but he never knew that Fang Qingyue knew medical skills.

Moreover, during every plague in the Great Campaign, tens of thousands of people died. How could a little woman like Fang Qingyue be able to help?

Is she here to cure illnesses and save lives, or to meet her lover secretly?

His eyes swept across Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue with a hint of coldness.

After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand and tried to grab Fang Qingyue.

Fang Qingyue was so scared that she dodged backwards, and Song Xiaoya immediately grabbed Shen Qiunian's hand.

She was upset that Shen Qiu Nian cared so much about Fang Qingyue, but she pretended nothing had happened. She just said, "What is the Marquis going to do? Even if my sister goes with the prince, it doesn't prove anything. Besides, we have important things to do. How can we waste time here?"

"But, Your Highness, why would you bother saving my sister? Even if she were taken to the mountains by bandits and become their wife, she might be happy with it. After all, I've heard that the bandits in the mountains are all strong and sturdy. If others can't satisfy my sister, the bandits will definitely be able to."

Her words were sarcastic and seemed to appease Shen Qiu Nian, but they actually caused waves of anger in Shen Qiu Nian's heart.

He clenched his fists tightly, and the expression on his face was terrifyingly grim.

It looked as if he wanted to eat Fang Qingyue alive.

But now Song Xiaoya is "pregnant" with Chen Qiu Nian's child after all, and Fang Qingyue can't argue for herself, for fear that if she says something wrong, Song Xiaoya will "get pregnant" again, and it will be hard to say what will happen then.

Even if he could diagnose that Song Xiaoya was not pregnant, would Shen Qiu Nian believe it?

She lowered her head and said nothing.

Shen Yuhan opened his mouth and said, "So, Miss Song, what you mean is that even if I see someone causing trouble for the people and wantonly bullying women, I can just turn a blind eye?"

His tone was cold, and the look he gave Song Xiaoya was like ice, which made people's hearts tremble.

Song Xiaoya trembled all over, wondering if Shen Yuhan had discovered something.

She lowered her head and shrank into Shen Qiu Nian's arms, saying cautiously, "How dare I? I just heard that my sister has a bad reputation outside, and even humiliated the prince's reputation because of these things, so I reminded you like this. If you don't mind, we naturally wouldn't dare to say anything."

However, Chen Qiu Nian stared at Fang Qingyue intently, not moving his eyes away at all.

He did see Shen Yuhan entering the Fang family's old house that day, and he also heard Aunt Lin say that Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue were husband and wife.

However, he didn't think Shen Yuhan could look down on Fang Qingyue.

After all, Shen Yuhan was the King of Jian'an, and many people wanted to move their daughters into his mansion.

He had made numerous military achievements, and any bit of it could earn him an imperial decree for his princess, which was an unparalleled honor.

Even if this was not the case, being his concubine was still much more glorious than being the wife of an ordinary official in the eyes of others.

However, Shen Yuhan had never paid any attention to this. There were many singing girls and concubines sent to his house, but they were all sent away by Shen Yuhan.

Therefore, even though he knew that Shen Yuhan and Fang Qingyue were too close, he just thought that Fang Qingyue had something to ask for.

Now that Fang Qingyue has actually come to Qi County, he wants to take a good look at who the adulterer is.

Thinking of this, he followed Fang Qingyue closely, even ignoring his business.

Seeing him like this, Song Xiaoya gritted her teeth in hatred.

What's so good about a woman who is not innocent and is the daughter of a criminal that two men care about her so much?

The four of them walked forward together and arrived at a nearby inn.

Since she had already made it clear that she had nothing to do with Shen Yuhan, Fang Qingyue could only book a room for herself.

After she returned to her room, she lay on the bed, thinking about how to deal with Shen Qiu Nian.

The reason she came to Qi County was because her father had been there for a while. Perhaps the clue to clearing her father's name lay here.

I originally wanted to rely on Shen Yuhan and his guards to investigate this matter, but with Shen Qiu Nian around, many things became inconvenient.

In the next box, Song Xiaoya crushed the pill in her hand, releasing a puff of smoke.

The smoke was so thick that it covered all the smells in the room. In a short while, Chen Qiu Nian, whose breathing was originally unstable, fell into a deep sleep.

Song Xiaoya called Chen Qiu Nian a few times tentatively and found that he was indeed bewitched. She immediately changed into night clothes and climbed out of the window.

At this moment, Sun Shufeng was wiping the golden cup on his desk in his mansion.

His house was filled with various utensils carved from gold, silver, jade and stone, which were so numerous that they were almost dazzling at first glance.

After Song Xiaoya entered, she silently despised Sun Shufeng's taste, and then said, "Now that the imperial envoy has arrived, I need you to host a banquet for him."

Hearing this, Sun Shufeng shuddered and couldn't help but ask, "Since we knew he was coming, why bother hosting a banquet? The county has just recovered from the disaster, and the people are starving. If I host a banquet for him, what will I do if he asks me to donate money for disaster relief?"

"Idiot." Song Xiaoya couldn't help but spit at him when she saw how he only cared about the petty gains.

"Shen Yuhan is the King of Jian'an. What kind of strange things has he not seen? What's more, a banquet is a banquet. Who asked you to use good things to entertain him?" Song Xiaoya whispered to Sun Shufeng.

Sun Shufeng's eyes suddenly widened and he asked, "Is this okay?"

"Why not?" Song Xiaoya said lazily, "This matter must be done cleanly and beautifully. I have a lot of evidence against you in my hands. If I give it to the Marquis, it's enough to make you suffer."

Sun Shufeng, like a cat whose hide was pinched, immediately said, "I will definitely take care of this matter."

The next morning, someone went to invite Shen Yuhan to attend the welcoming banquet hosted by County Magistrate Sun.

Even Fang Qingyue was among the invited guests.

The assassin had already revealed some clues about Sun Shufeng. After receiving the invitation, both of them knew that this was a rare opportunity.

The two of them had already arrived at the banquet before it started.

The place Sun Shufeng chose to hold the banquet was a villa in the suburbs.

This villa had been abandoned for some time and was cleaned out specially for the banquet.

Everything in the villa is old and looks dilapidated.

When Shen Yuhan came, Sun Shufeng immediately greeted him with a smile.

He was fat, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist. He looked blessed and kind.

If Fang Qingyue had not heard the assassin's confession in advance, she would have really thought that Sun Shufeng was as amiable as he appeared.

"Your Highness, you are finally here." He sighed deeply, pretending to be helpless. "The damage caused by this flood is too severe. I want to protect the people, but there is nothing I can do. I feel relieved to have you here."

"Yeah." Shen Yuhan said lightly.
