After briefly reprimanding the official, Shen Qing turned back to deal with other matters.

The first thing was to go to the Shangshu Mansion.

When she did all this, in order not to affect Bai Runyi, she deliberately ignored her and didn't know what happened to her.

Shen Qing didn't climb through the window this time, she went through the main door.

Minister of Rites Bai Xian thought that Shen Qing was going to attack him first, so he came out to greet her tremblingly.

"Hello..." What should I address you as, Miss Shen? Princess? Or the Emperor?

“Shangshu can call me Mr. Shen.”

Bai Xian was shocked. How dare he?

“Miss Shen.”

"I'm here to find Runyi."

"Runyi is in the backyard. I will take you there."

"Aren't you busy?" Shen Qing glanced at Bai Xian suspiciously.

Bai Xian was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to respond to him. He wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously.

"Runyi and I have something to talk about. I know her yard, so you don't have to follow me."

Chen Qing took Qingge and walked towards Bai Runyi's yard, leaving Bai Xian standing there still a little scared.

Fortunately, fortunately I haven't provoked her before.

When Chen Qing walked into the yard, he saw Bai Runyi sitting on the swing, with an endless worry on his face.

"Miss."

Bai Runyi turned around when he heard the voice. When he saw Shen Qing, his eyes lit up, then dimmed again. He lowered his head and ignored her.

Shen Qing walked over, squeezed her to the side, and sat down on the swing.

"Ignore me?"

"I dare not." Bai Runyi said sourly.

Shen Qing chuckled and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Miss, I was wrong, okay? You know, treason is a serious crime, and you might even be implicated. I thought, if I succeed, I'll come and comfort you. If I fail, I'll wait for you underground."

"It's an emergency. I didn't see you because I was afraid of getting you into trouble."

Shen Qing patiently explained to Bai Runyi.

Bai Runyi's eyes reddened. "You didn't even send me an invitation to your wedding. I waited for a long time and it didn't come. I thought you were really mad at me and didn't want to be friends with me anymore."

"A few days ago, on the night before your wedding, I wanted to give you a gift, but I didn't dare knock on the door because I was afraid you would refuse again. On the way back, I encountered a killer, and I was so scared that I had nightmares all night."

"I've only heard about you through those ridiculous rumors outside. Can't you write me a letter and explain it clearly? Would I not support you if you rebelled?"

Bai Runyi felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and cried like a pear blossom in the rain.

Shen Qing hugged her helplessly and coaxed her.

"It's my fault, my fault."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're an empire. If you don't treat me well, I'll have my father impeach you!"

Hearing this, Shen Qing couldn't help laughing.

Your father really doesn't dare to impeach me.

"Miss, don't cry, I was wrong."

The first day Shen Qing met Bai Runyi, she knew that she was really made of water.

Her tears came suddenly.

Bai Runyi had cried enough, wiped her tears, choked up and looked at Shen Qing and said: "If I commit insubordination, will you chop off my head?"

"How dare I, Miss?" Shen Qing looked at Bai Runyi seriously and said, "I am the emperor and you are the princess! If anyone dares to bully you, I will chop him down."

"Yeah!" Bai Runyi nodded with emotion, but then realized something was wrong, "Wait, you are the emperor and I am the princess, then I am you..."

“Chen Qing, you’re taking advantage of me!”

"Hey, hey, hey, don't do it, Miss..."

After Shen Qing coaxed Bai Runyi, he hurried back to the palace to deal with other matters.

Shangguan Xi and the others are still living in the harem.

Fengyi Palace.

“My lady, the servants said that Shen Qing is coming with his men!”

"I'm here after all." Shangguan Xi clutched her handkerchief in a daze.

She knew it was a matter of time.

"Empress, are you in the mood to take me to see the flowers today?" Qingge lifted the curtain and Chen Qing walked in with a smile on her face.

The last time we met, she still called herself a servant.

Today, the situation has changed dramatically.

"Oh, the little maid hasn't been beaten to death yet?" Chen Qing glanced at Xinzhu who was lowering his head and trying to reduce his presence.

Xinzhu's legs went limp and he knelt down, his body shaking constantly.

Shen Qing found a seat and sat down, then raised his hand to signal Qingge to pour tea.

"Empress, have you been having a good time these days? I see your face has become a little rounder."

Shangguan Xi had no intention of listening to what Shen Qing said. She was very scared now and didn't know how Shen Qing would deal with her.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I will accept whatever you plan to do to me."

"The key is, you have to admit it." Shen Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip.

It doesn't taste good.

"I'm here because I have something to do." Shen Qing clapped his hands, and Hua Qiufeng walked in, dragging a man with one hand and pushing Shen Jing with the other.

He threw the man to the ground and stood behind Shen Qing.

Shangguan Xi looked at the sloppy man on the ground, covering her mouth and nose in disgust.

When Shen Jing saw Shen Qing, her eyes were filled with fear. She had taken advantage of the chaos to escape when Cheng Xue was stabbed, but was caught by the people outside.

“Shen, Shen Qing, sister, don’t kill me…”

Shen Jing couldn't help but shed tears.

"My dear sister, if you want to live, it's not impossible."

Shen Jing looked at Shen Qing expectantly, waiting for her conditions.

"If you help me kill someone, I'll ensure you have plenty of food and clothing for the rest of your life. How about that?"

His calm eyes flickered slightly. Only one person needs to be killed?

"I, I'm weak, how can I kill someone?"

"Well...if you say that, then there's no need for you to live."

"No, I'll try my best!" she said quickly.

Staying alive is the most important thing to her.

"Look, this is the one on the ground." Shen Qing pointed at the dirty man on the ground.

"who is he?"

"Calling you sister, do you really think you're a royal relative? Can't you see for yourself?"

Shen Jing squatted down tremblingly, turned the man over with disgust, and after seeing his face clearly, she was suddenly shocked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The man on the ground was Murong Zhi.

"What?!" Shangguan Xi rushed towards Murong Zhi after hearing this, "Zhi'er, Zhi'er!"

Chen Qing couldn't stand seeing other people's mother-son affection scenes, so she raised her hand to signal Hua Qiufeng to pull Shangguan Xi away.

"Zhi'er... Chen Qing, Chen Qing, please don't kill him. I beg you, please don't hurt Zhi'er..."

"Shen Jing, what have you thought about it?"

It would be interesting to see a father who kills his own child with his own hands...

Shen Jing, I haven't forgotten what role you once played.

Shen Jing stood there at a loss, looking at Murong Zhi lying on the ground with a pale face.

"Chen Jing, how dare you! If you dare to touch my Zhier, I will fight you to the death!"

"Chen Jing, Zhi'er was so good to you before, how could you have the heart to do that to me..."

"Don't touch him..."

Shen Qing scratched her nose. It was so touching that she was almost moved.
