Chapter 217: Good Things to Make You Obedient

Lou Changqing raised his lips and smiled at Shen Qingpei.

"Mr. Pei, where do you want to go?"

Sui Sui guessed correctly, this Shen Qingpei really showed up tonight.

It was worth it that he had brought his men to wait since dusk until now, and they finally caught him.

Shen Qingpei's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if ink could drip out of it.

Damn it! His last chance was also anticipated by someone!

Lou Changqing ignored him and turned around and waved to his subordinates.

He ordered in a cold voice: "Take him and Qi Huan away!"

The next day, in Yu’s study.

"Your Majesty, Qi Huan committed suicide in prison last night..."

Lou Changqing reported in a low voice.

Shangguan Sui was sitting on a chair. Upon hearing this, he put down the small cake in his hand and sighed softly.

[This is to be expected. Qi Huan has been a goddess for too long and has completely immersed herself in the role.]

[Everything suddenly collapsed. She definitely couldn’t handle this shock…]

After Shangguan Lin heard what was going on, he pursed his lips and said, "I understand. Bury him as you wish."

Lou Changqing nodded and continued to ask: "Qi Huan is dead, what should we do with Shen Qingpei?"

"Shen Qingpei is the real culprit who planned the whole incident. He even made fake money before. He deserves death."

Shangguan Lin also nodded.

"Indeed, then sentence Shen Qingpei to death..."

Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Sui immediately said, "Daddy, no, you can't kill Shen Qingpei directly!"

Shangguan Lin looked puzzled, and Lou Changqing couldn't help but ask, "Why, Sui Sui?"

Shangguan Sui immediately said: "It would be a pity if Shen Qingpei was killed directly."

She winked at them both.

"He has other uses!"

Shangguan Lin was a little confused.

"Sui Sui, what do you mean?"

Shangguan Sui chuckled and explained to the two of them in a crisp voice.

The more Shangguan Lin listened, the brighter his eyes became.

He reached out and rubbed Shangguan Sui's soft head, praising him aloud, "Sui Sui, your idea is really great. I'll leave this matter to you!"

Shangguan Sui nodded vigorously.

After leaving Yu's study, he went straight to the prison where Shen Qingpei was imprisoned.

When the jailer in the Heavenly Prison saw that it was Shangguan Sui who had come, he immediately bowed and greeted her respectfully.

"I'm here to see Shen Qingpei. Please take me to see him."

The jailer nodded and immediately bowed to lead Shangguan Sui.

Hearing the slowly approaching footsteps, Shen Qingpei raised his head.

Looking at the small figure walking towards him.

He sneered, "Is there no one in the court of Dayue Dynasty? They actually let a child interrogate me?"

Shangguan Sui was not angry either. He tilted his head slightly and looked at him.

"Then you lost to me. Doesn't that mean you are worse than a five-year-old child?"

Shen Qingpei's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard that. "It's you! It's actually you!"

He never figured out how the plan went wrong.

He never expected that a five-year-old child would ruin his plan!

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Shen Qingpei's gentle face.

"To be the king, to defeat the enemy, to kill or to slay, all is at your command."

Shangguan Sui shook his head, "You think too much. Not only will I not kill you, I will let you go."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingpei immediately narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Let me go? How is that possible? Are you trying to cheat me?"

Shangguan Sui raised his lips slightly and stared at him without blinking.

"Of course it's possible. After all, I know your identity..."

She said slowly, "Right, the seventh prince of the Yuan Kingdom, the lost son of the Yuan Emperor."

Shen Qingpei's breath choked and his back immediately stiffened.

"You, how do you know?!"

No one knew about this except his closest attendants.

He didn't even tell Qi Huan.

Shangguan is only five years old, how does she know so much?

Shen Qingpei couldn't help but break out in sweat on his forehead.

This fifth princess is far from being as innocent as she appears.

Shangguan Sui tilted his head and looked at him gently, "Don't worry about how I know this, I came here to make a deal with you."

"Not only will I let you go, I will also help you ascend the throne of the Yuan Kingdom."

Shen Qingpei narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and asked sharply, "What price do I need to pay?"

He didn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him for no reason.

Shangguan Sui turned to look at him and said word by word: "When you ascend the throne, I want you to sign an alliance with the Dayue Kingdom and stop fighting within a hundred years."

"Now that Dayue and Yuan are equally powerful, a fight would only result in both sides suffering losses."

"I hate war. The lives of the people are just pawns in the hands of those in power. The world is just their chess game. They can not care, but I can not. I can not do it."

Shen Qingpei heard this and nodded.

He certainly agrees with this.

With the two countries now having almost equal strength, starting a war will have absolutely no results.

No one can swallow anyone else, and the final result will only be an empty treasury and impoverished people's livelihood.

Shen Qingpei nodded in agreement, "I agree, but I have a question."

"So, why me?"

Shangguan Sui looked at him and said, "The Yuan Kingdom will eventually have an emperor, but among the many princes of the Yuan Kingdom, there are not many capable ones. If it's not you, it will be Jin Yunlie."

"But I have seen what kind of person Jin Yunlie is. He will definitely not listen to this proposal."

[After all, in the original book, Jin Yunlie went to war with the Great Moon Kingdom as soon as he came to power.]

Shen Qingpei pursed his lips. This reason did make sense.

After all, he also knew Jin Yunlie's working style.

He would never ask for peace or surrender to the Great Moon Kingdom.

Shen Qingpei raised his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him, "You said you would help me, how?"

Shangguan Sui chuckled, "Because I know Jin Yunlie's secrets, I can tell you everything."

[I will not go to Yuan Kingdom by myself to help Shen Qingpei. I have my aunt in Xia Kingdom, and the royal family of Xia Kingdom is related to me. Of course I can go there without worry, but Yuan Kingdom is too dangerous.]

[Let Jin Yunlie and Shen Qingpei fight each other. If Shen Qingpei wins, everyone will be happy. If Jin Yunlie wins, the result will be the same as in the original book.]

Shen Qingpei lowered his eyes to think, then quickly nodded.

For him, this matter was a calculated transaction no matter how he looked at it.

When Shangguan Sui saw that he agreed, he immediately waved his hand.

Yan Kongshan, who was originally guarding outside, quickly walked in.

He strode forward and pinched Shen Qingpei's chin.

Before Shen Qingpei could react, a pill was stuffed into his mouth.

Shen Qingpei's eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of fear.

"What did you feed me?!"

Shangguan Sui tilted his head slightly, "This is a good thing to make you obedient."

"Do you think I'm stupid? Covenants are the most unreliable. You can break them if you want. I don't believe your verbal promises."

[In the original book, Shen Qingpei is known for his cunning and deceit. It is best not to believe a single word he says.]

Shangguan Sui smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you take the antidote on time, you will be fine."

"This poison won't make you suffer."

[This is specially made by Sister Feng, it is absolutely useful! ]

When Shen Qingpei heard this, his face immediately turned pale.

He really underestimated the fifth princess!

He could actually calculate this far!
