Chapter 88 Getting Beaten
"No, nothing."
Lu Jiuan shook his head, and he slightly tightened the wooden box in his hand.
After hesitating for a while, he plucked up the courage to hand the wooden box to Shen Qingtang, looking at her tenderly.
"Fourth Princess, this is a New Year's gift from me to you."
Shen Qingtang didn't expect that Lu Jiuan, who had always been conservative, would actually give her a gift.
"What's in it?" Shen Qingtang took the wooden box and asked happily.
Seeing that Shen Qingtang couldn't wait to open the box, Lu Jiuan quickly stopped her and said, "Fourth Princess, don't open it yet."
He was worried that Shen Qingtang would not accept it after seeing what was inside.
"Is it so mysterious?"
Shen Qingtang put the wooden box away, "Okay, then I'll go back and take a look."
[It's a gift in return, so I'll give you something too. Shen Qingtang
took out a water-blue glass bead and used magic to carve the word "Lu" on it.
"Here, this is my New Year's gift to you, do you like it?"
Looking at the glass bead lying obediently in Shen Qingtang's palm, Lu Jiuan's heart was pounding.
The fourth princess actually gave him a return gift!
He picked up the bead carefully, and the moment he touched the bead, his heart trembled slightly. The icy glass bead felt so hot to the touch.
"Thank you, fourth princess, I like it very much."
This is the best gift he has ever received!
"I'm glad you like it. I'll leave first." Shen Qingtang waved to him.
"Fourth princess, take care." Lu Jiuan looked at Shen Qingtang's back as he left, and he didn't leave for a long time.
Lu Jiuan couldn't let go of this glass bead, and would take it out to look at it whenever he had time.
...
After the banquet, Shen Qingtang returned to her bedroom and had a good sleep.
Early the next morning, she was called over by the emperor.
Shen Qingtang walked into the Golden Throne Hall, where besides her father, her second brother was also there.
"Father, second brother." Shen Qingtang saluted obediently.
Shen Tianming said to the palace maids and guards beside him, "You all go down."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After dismissing everyone, Shen Tianming smiled and pulled Shen Qingtang to his side.
"Qingtang, come, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, father."
Shen Qingtang didn't bother to be polite with him and sat down.
Shen Chengyu:? ? ?
Why didn't father ask him to sit down?
Shen Chengyu had been called over by Shen Tianming a long time ago, but he had been left aside.
"Qingtang, tell father in detail what happened yesterday."
"This time Chengyu wants to work with you, so father called him over as well."
Shen Tianming glanced at Shen Chengyu and still did not let him sit down. Shen Chengyu had to stand next to Shen Qingtang obediently.
Shen Qingtang was still not used to chatting so seriously with Shen Tianming.
She nodded: "I found this matter in the nest of spies in Yun County."
Shen Qingtang made up a reason casually. Anyway, they didn't know what the truth was.
"I don't know who the spy is among the examiners, so I thought of a way to lure him out."
[I know who the spy is, but I just won't say it. Shen Tianming did not expose her .
It didn't matter if she said it or not, as long as he could catch the spy.
Shen Chengyu looked at Shen Qingtang in surprise and exclaimed in a low voice: "What? There is a spy among the examiners?!"
How could there be so many spies!
Shen Tianming said seriously: "Qingtang, this matter is of great importance. You can't do it alone."
He raised his hand and conjured up a golden token: "Qingtang, take this token. No matter whether you want to mobilize troops or do anything else, no one dares to stop you."
There are so many spies in the court. Only when Shen Qingtang's power becomes greater can he act better.
Shen Qingtang: !!!
Shen Chengyu: !!!
The moment Shen Tianming took out the token, not only Shen Chengyu, but also Shen Qingtang herself was shocked.
She slightly widened her eyes.
[No, father, you are too generous, right?]
[Does he trust me so much?]
"What I hate most is the enemy's spies, Qingtang, you must catch them, and tell father if you need any help." Shen Tianming's words came from the heart.
[Oh, never mind, what I want now is power, right?]
She took the token: "Yes, father!"
Shen Chengyu looked at the token eagerly, envious.
"Father, I want a token too."
Shen Tianming turned around and glared at him: "You don't have one."
"This time you will go with Qingtang to do the work, and you will do whatever she says."
His silly son still hasn't found out which of his friends is the spy, how can he dare to let Chengyu do the work?
Now that he has Shen Qingtang as his trump card, Fengyin Kingdom will never be destroyed!
As long as he lives, he will always be the emperor, and he can take power away or take it back.
Shen Chengyu never dreamed that his sister, whom he used to look down upon, is now more powerful than him.
After leaving the Golden Palace, Shen Chengyu approached Shen Qingtang and asked in a low voice: "Qingtang, what are we going to do next?"
When he thought about catching the adulterer, Shen Chengyu became inexplicably excited.
"Second brother, go back and wait for my notice." Shen Qingtang walked towards the Moon Palace.
Shen Chengyu: ???
Just send him away with one sentence?
He doesn't know anything about the plan.
"Qingtang, please tell me what your plan is, otherwise how can I cooperate with you?"
[Who asked you to cooperate? You are just someone sent by my father to monitor me. Do you really think I want to work with you? ]
[And you are so stupid, how dare I tell you the plan in advance. ]
Shen Chengyu: ...
What my sister said is really heartwarming, he is not stupid!
Shen Qingtang turned his head and looked at him: "Second brother, you go back and practice well, I need you to be my thug."
Shen Chengyu: ...
That's it?
Is this all he is useful for?
"Qingtang, do you have any other arrangements?" Shen Chengyu asked again without giving up.
"No." Shen Qingtang shook his head.
[Let you be a thug, just hope you get beaten. 】
【Who made you so partial to Shen Muchen before? If I don't teach you a lesson, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart. 】
Shen Chengyu felt a chill on his back.
He suddenly realized that working with Shen Qingtang was really dangerous. He would be tricked by her if he was not careful.
"Okay, second brother, you go back first."
Shen Chengyu clenched his fists. Humph, he would not be beaten. He would go back and practice well.
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
Shen Qingtang sent a voice transmission to Shen Chengyu.
"Second brother, get ready and go out shopping in the evening."
After receiving the message, Shen Chengyu immediately became nervous.
How can this be called shopping? This is called going out to carry out a mission.
He swears that he will not be beaten today!
