Qin Shuhuai: "..."
If he had no idea who Qin Peng was before, then he was probably completely confused at this moment.
He thought hard, revenge for her murder? Who else but Jiang Yi was the Jiang family member he had killed, the woman who was Lu You's bodyguard six years ago? ?
And the point is, what does it mean to have killed?!
Was he killed, or was he killed but luckily escaped?
Could she be Jiang Yi? But Jiang Yi's body was clearly there...
The more Qin Shuhuai thought about it, the more confused he became. He felt that he was facing the most powerful enemy in his life. In the past, he could always vaguely guess the enemy's intentions, but this time, he knew nothing except that the enemy was a member of the Jiang family.
Qin Shuhuai nodded to show that he understood. Qin Peng raised his hand and rubbed his hair. Qin Shuhuai wanted to dodge in his heart, but he still controlled himself well.
"You have been wronged," Qin Peng said gently, "Wait for a while, I will take you back after I get the positions of Yangzhou Governor and Shuntian Prefecture Governor."
Qin Shuhuai continued to nod, took Qin Peng's hand, and wrote: "What are you going to do next?"
"Me?" Qin Peng was a little surprised. Qin Shuhuai continued to write: "Do you want to kill Qin Shuhuai? I can help you!"
Qin Peng smiled. Lu You was always so naive. If Qin Shuhuai was so easy to kill, she would have killed him long ago.
She thought about it, shook her head and said, "Forget it."
She had killed Qin Shuhuai for three lifetimes, but her hatred had actually faded a lot. The most important thing was that she now vaguely felt that what happened back then was not that simple.
Bai Zhi's words made her realize that with such a piece of memory missing, she might never find the truth. For example, why did Zhao Yu know in advance that Qin Shuhuai had attacked him? Why did Bai Zhi, who was not easy to get close to others, tell her so much? And why did Jiang Yuan tell Bai Zhi so much?
Qin Peng has always been a suspicious and cautious person, and now she dares not make any decisions at all. When she first became Jiang Yi, she woke up and was almost blinded by Qin Shuhuai's anger.
She gave up the glory and wealth of a princess to marry him, but he actually poisoned her for his own glory and wealth? !
Anger made it impossible for her to see the truth, but after being reborn three times, she grew up and was no longer the impulsive and reckless girl of 19. She began to calmly review the past, began not to be extreme, began to be calm and try to look at the world with kindness. Suddenly, she had an intuition that maybe Qin Shuhuai was not that bad.
So now she feels that as long as Qin Shuhuai doesn't affect the present, she doesn't have the energy to pursue the past too much, so let it be.
She patted Qin Shuhuai on the shoulder and said soothingly: "I am encouraging you. Don't be stupid enough to kill Qin Shuhuai. There is no rush for revenge. I will take revenge if there is a chance. If not, forget it. As long as he doesn't get in my way, then it's fine. We have to look forward. Instead of killing him, we should hold on to the power in our hands, sit firmly in our position, oh, and find a nice person to marry..."
As he spoke, Qin Peng suddenly remembered something he had been thinking about recently, and turned to Lu You and said, "What do you think of Liu Shuyan?"
Qin Shuhuai was a little surprised when he heard what Qin Peng said. Qin Peng actually fell in love with Liu Shuyan?
He pursed his lips and continued writing on Qin Peng's hand: "Do you want to marry Liu?"
"Well, I think he's good."
Qin Peng nodded and said to Qin Shuhuai, "I think he is gentle, talented, and patient with children. I think he treats Qin Ming very well. I will be the eldest princess in the future, so I have to be responsible for Qin Ming, right? And Liu Shuyan's appearance also meets my aesthetic taste, especially when he smiles... He is very charming."
Hearing these words, Qin Shuhuai suddenly felt a little upset and uncomfortable.
Because Zhao Peng also said these words to him back then.
Zhao Peng was still young at that time, and he repeated the same words to him, and then told him: "Qin Shuhuai, if you were not good-looking, you really would not meet my requirements at all."
Now Qin Peng said this again, almost without saying a word. Qin Shuhuai almost wondered if all the women in the world liked Liu Shuyan?
Qin Shuhuai didn't say anything, so Qin Peng bumped into him and said, "I'm asking you a question."
Qin Shuhuai came back to his senses, nodded, and wrote on Qin Peng's hand: "Liu is doing well."
"Okay then." Qin Peng nodded. Lu You was the head of the intelligence organization she set up back then. He was familiar with almost everyone in Xuanjing. If he said it was good, then it must be good.
So Qin Peng was relieved, narrowed his eyes and said: "I'll go get him!"
Qin Shuhuai: "..."
When it comes to men's ability to take action, this Qin Peng is really comparable to Zhao Peng back then.
He wanted to persuade Qin Peng to be more reserved and subtle, but he was afraid of exposing his identity. So he could only nod and write "You work hard."
Qin Peng didn't say anything more. Seeing that Lu You was fine, she felt fine. She stood up and said, "Eat and drink well and wait for me. I will come to pick you up in a few days."
Qin Shuhuai nodded, Qin Peng rubbed his hair, and then turned and left.
After sending Qin Peng away, Jiang Chun came in and untied the chain for Qin Shuhuai: "Prince, what did you find out?"
Qin Shuhuai had a cold face and said nothing. He stood up and said to Jiang Chun, "Wake up Lu You. I have something to ask him."
Jiang Chun responded, and Qin Shuhuai went to change his clothes. After Qin Shuhuai changed his clothes, Jiang Chun brought Lu You over.
Lu You had just woken up, and looking at Qin Shuhuai, who was dressed neatly, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
What did Qin Shuhuai want to do with him in the middle of the night?
"Jiang Yi is dead."
Qin Shuhuai spoke first, and Lu You raised his head suddenly. Qin Shuhuai observed Lu You, and his eyes made Lu You immediately realize his gaffe.
Qin Shuhuai was too good at observing people, he shouldn't have had this reaction, but he was in a panic.
Jiang Yi died a long time ago, but now Qin Shuhuai repeated it again. What does this prove?
This proves that perhaps Qin Shuhuai knew that Jiang Yi was still alive, and that the living Jiang Yi died again.
When he thought of this possibility, Lu You's face turned pale.
Qin Shuhuai remained calm and continued, "Do you think I should call her Qin Peng or Jiang Yi?"
When Lu You heard this, his face became even uglier.
Qin Shuhuai really knew...
However, he couldn't speak, for he was afraid that he would say something, so Lu You lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Qin Shuhuai held the teacup in his palm, looked at Lu You's appearance, and said calmly: "Do you think she is faking her death? After all, you made her fake her death once."
Hearing this, Lu You suddenly realized that Qin Shuhuai was trying to trick him.
Jiang Yi was not faking her death, Jiang Yi was really dead.
Lu You immediately calmed down, and Qin Shuhuai closed his eyes, and got the information he needed.
Seeing Qin Shuhuai closing his eyes, Lu You clenched his fists. He knew that he must have leaked some information to Qin Shuhuai this time.
Jiang Chun saw Qin Shuhuai's expression, so he asked someone to take Lu You away and said, "Master, what did you find out?"
"Jiang Yi is still alive." Qin Shuhuai closed his eyes and sorted out the information: "Qin Peng is Jiang Yi, the last piece of information, I need to confirm it again. Make a secret appointment with Wei Yan for me."
Jiang Chun took the order, and after Jiang Chun walked out, Qin Shuhuai's hands trembled slightly.
He didn't tell Lu You that the last piece of information he guessed was that Jiang Yi's death was not fake.
Jiang Yi's body is there, Jiang Yi is Qin Peng, Jiang Yi is still alive, but Jiang Yi is not faking her death, what does this mean?
Back then, he tried his best to pray for Qin Peng to come back alive. He believed in heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, so he naturally knew what the result would be when all these conditions were combined.
This result made him scared, trembling, but also ecstatic.
If Jiang Yi can be resurrected, what about Zhao Peng?
Can Zhao Peng also do it?
Qin Shuhuai closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. He didn't dare let Jiang Chun know his thoughts. The last time he was so happy was when a Taoist priest told others about reincarnation and he searched everywhere for the child born after Zhao Peng's death.
He almost died that time.
That knife taught him how dangerous such a crazy state was.
Qin Shuhuai sat for a while and then went back to sleep.
The next day, Jiang Chun went to find Wei Yan privately and invited Wei Yan to meet Qin Shuhuai in the restaurant.
Wei Yan curled his lips and said to Jiang Chun, "I'm afraid your prince's appointment with me is not a good thing, right?"
Jiang Chun didn't say much and waited quietly for Wei Yan's reply. Wei Yan looked at the sky, finally nodded, and followed Jiang Chun to the restaurant.
After entering the room, Wei Yan saw Qin Shuhuai waiting, walked up to him, and asked nonchalantly, "What do you want me to do, Lord?"
As he spoke, Wei Yan sat down on the chair and opened the pot of wine. Qin Shuhuai raised his eyes and said calmly: "I want to confirm one thing, please help me."
"What is it?"
"I think the Fourth Princess is not the Fourth Princess."
Qin Shuhuai opened his mouth and was about to explain, but Wei Yan waved his hand and said impatiently: "You don't have to tell me about this, I've tried it."
"How did you try?" Qin Shuhuai frowned, and Wei Yan raised his eyebrows: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure."
"General Wei," Qin Shuhuai said coldly, "If the princess is not a princess, what you said today would be a crime. Do you understand?"
"Don't I know whether my sister-in-law is my sister-in-law?" Wei Yan's tone became a little anxious, with a hint of annoyance: "The memory of the pattern on her body..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Yan stopped talking, his expression froze, and the room became quiet. After a long time, Jiang Chun raised his hand and rubbed his ears, feeling that he knew some shocking secret...
Qin Shuhuai's expression remained unchanged. He raised his hand and took a sip of tea, then said calmly, "I am not interested in your relationship with the princess. Please continue."
"Wait, no, my sister-in-law and I didn't..."
"It doesn't matter what."
"It really doesn't matter to me!" Wei Yan yelled, "My brother told me about those marks!"
Qin Shuhuai said nothing, continued to drink tea, lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Wei Yan reacted immediately. This was an admission that he had indeed seen his sister-in-law's body. He was a little confused and after holding it in for a long time, he finally said, "I didn't mean to do that!"
Qin Shuhuai looked down at the tea leaves, Jiang Chun played with the token on his waist, and they all said in unison: "Oh."
Wei Yan collapsed, took a sip of wine and said, "Forget it, whatever you think, my sister-in-law is definitely my sister-in-law."
"Since General Wei is so sure, I believe him."
After saying that, Qin Shuhuai stood up and said calmly, "Goodbye."
Wei Yan was stunned: "Just leaving like this?"
"What else?" Jiang Chun sneered: "Do you really think your master is here to drink with you? My master is very busy!"
"Leave."
Qin Shuhuai was walking outside and heard Jiang Chun and Wei Yan arguing. He spoke coldly, and Jiang Chun immediately chased after them. After they left, Wei Yan's expression turned cold.
Qin Shuhuai must have his reasons for saying this.
But what is the reason?
Wei Yan thought about it, took a sip of wine, and decided to go home first.
After Qin Shuhuai walked out of the restaurant, his face was a little cold. Jiang Chun was a little confused and whispered: "Prince, what do you know?"
Qin Shuhuai said nothing. He walked all the way to Liu's house. After walking for more than half an hour, he finally arrived at Liu's house. He handed in the visiting card. When Liu Shuyan came to see him, the first thing Qin Shuhuai said was: "You owe me a favor."
"Hmm? Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Help me check someone in Beiyan. Give up your position and I'll have someone take over for you."
After hearing this, Liu Shuyan frowned: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything you think is outrageous in your position."
Liu Shuyan felt relieved after hearing this. Although Qin Shuhuai was a scumbag, he could always trust his words. But he still couldn't help but ask, "What are you planning to do?"
"There's a woman who's attracted to your face," Qin Shuhuai raised his hand and took a sip of tea, "I want to get some information from her."
Liu Shuyan: “…”
He had a hunch that he would have another daughter-in-law when he returned.
Liu Shuyan panicked a little, coughed lightly and said, "Don't go too far."
"Don't worry," Qin Shuhuai nodded, "I promise to kill your peach blossoms."
Liu Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief, and the two agreed that Liu Shuyan would leave Xuanjing that night. Qin Shuhuai asked Qianmian to take out the mask of Liu Shuyan that he had made before and give it to a secret guard, and then left Liu Mansion with Jiang Chun.
After doing all this, Jiang Chun was completely confused: "Sir, didn't you just check the person you asked Lord Liu to check?"
"Oh, I just want him to get away."
After finishing everything, Qin Shuhuai felt a little tired. He returned to his room, closed his eyes, slept well, and finally waited until the next day.
After Qin Peng finished reading Lu You, he happily returned home and ran into Bai Zhi who was walking out with a book in her arms.
Qin Peng was startled. Bai Zhi looked at Qin Peng and said coldly, "Are you up to something again?"
Qin Peng patted his chest, feeling that Bai Zhi had become more and more ferocious over the years, and couldn't help but advise her: "Miss Bai, when you return to Beiyan, have more sex. A coordinated life will help your mental health."
Bai Zhi shouted angrily: "Get out!"
Qin Peng heard Bai Zhi's angry shout and suddenly remembered that Bai Zhi was an expert in love. She had been able to pursue Qin Shuhuai because of Bai Zhi's schemes. Now that her agreement with Qin Shuhuai had been finalized and there was no crisis for the time being, and she was thinking about staying in Qi for a long time, she should at least protect Qin Ming until he could safely become the emperor. Lu You also supported her, so it was time for her to act.
So she quickly took Bai Zhi's hand like a good sister and whispered, "Miss Bai, I have something I want to ask you."
Bai Zhi glanced at Qin Peng's hand with disdain, followed Qin Peng to the study, and said calmly, "Speak."
"It's like this. You see, I'm not young anymore. Most people at my age would have gotten married. I've always felt a little regretful. I've recently fallen in love with someone who I think is pretty good. What do you think I should do?"
"Just date him/her first." Bai Zhi put the book on the desk. "If you feel attracted to him/her, cultivate the relationship first. Don't have too much psychological burden. Once the relationship is cultivated and you are sure you like him/her, then go for it."
"How do we do it?!" Qin Peng was very excited. Bai Zhi looked at her as if she was an idiot: "You should cultivate your feelings first and then ask me the next step."
“Then how do I cultivate feelings?”
"Meet more and talk more."
Bai Zhi was a little curious and raised her head and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"Well," Qin Peng was a little embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Liu Shuyan..."
Bai Zhi was amused, thinking that the taste of this princess was exactly the same as that of her former master.
Northern Yan values martial arts, and the men all aim to become strong and muscular men, but Zhao Peng likes the kind of cultured pretty boys, preferably those who are kind and gentle. However, there is no one like Liu Shuyan in the palace, and only Qin Shuhuai from the south looks a bit similar, so Zhao Peng set his eyes on Qin Shuhuai.
After arriving in Daqi, Bai Zhi actually felt a little bit sorry. She always felt that if Zhao Peng had come to Daqi earlier, Qin Shuhuai might not have had a chance. After all, compared to Zhao Peng's ideal type, Qin Shuhuai was a little tougher. Apart from other things, Qin Shuhuai's relationship with Zhao Yu was not very good, and the fact that he didn't like children was enough for Zhao Peng to reject him.
Seeing that her master had not fulfilled his wish, Bai Zhi decided to help Qin Peng, so she said, "Isn't Liu Shuyan the Grand Tutor now? After court, you should go to His Majesty's place to do your work and sit in on His Majesty's class. After listening, share your thoughts with him. A cultured person like Liu Shuyan must like cultured women."
After hearing Bai Zhi's words, Qin Peng nodded. She recalled the time when she was pursuing Qin Shuhuai. At that time, she memorized so many poems and practiced so many words for Qin Shuhuai!
"Oh, and also, praise his calligraphy more, say that you are copying his calligraphy, borrow calligraphy from him, and then say that you can't learn it, and then..."
Bai Zhi looked at her meaningfully. Qin Peng nodded and patted Bai Zhi on the shoulder: "You and I are really good sisters. We think alike."
"Take your hand away from me!" Bai Zhi looked at Qin Peng's hand and snorted coldly: "Who is your good sister?!"
Qin Peng withdrew his hand awkwardly and hurried back to the room to look at his clothes. He felt that he should buy some new clothes and jewelry.
The next day, Qin Peng looked at Liu Shuyan again and felt that something was different. The man stood among the officials, and the more he looked, the better he looked. Although he didn't say a word during the whole morning court session, it didn't affect his sparkling look in her eyes.
Qin Shuhuai also noticed that Qin Peng was different. He glanced at the person behind the curtain a few times and thought seriously about what ideas his words gave her and what she should do.
But inexplicably, Qin Shuhuai felt that he could probably guess what Qin Peng was going to do.
Because Zhao Peng seemed to have done the same thing back then...
He remembered that he and Zhao Peng were not particularly familiar with each other before he was twelve years old. Then, he didn't know what happened, but one day Zhao Peng suddenly came to him and said, "Qin Shuhuai, I have made up my mind. I want to pursue you!"
From then on, Zhao Peng tried his best to find him and deceive him...
After the court session, Qin Shuhuai exchanged faces with the secret guards and went to teach Qin Ming under the identity of Liu Shuyan. He had originally planned to find an excuse to look for Qin Peng after teaching Qin Ming, but when he lifted the curtain and went in, he saw Qin Peng kneeling upright on the table not far behind Qin Ming.
She had changed her clothes. Today, the weather was getting warmer, so she wore fewer clothes. She wore a plain spring shirt, a flower pinned on her forehead, and pearl earrings on both sides of her ears, which swayed gently with her movements.
Qin Shuhuai couldn't really tell what she had done to him, but he could clearly feel that he had become much more beautiful. Qin Peng was already a famous beauty in Qi State, and after a little bit of dressing up, she became the most beautiful woman in the world.
Qin Shuhuai lowered his eyes, followed Liu Shuyan's example, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Hello, Your Highness."
No matter who Qin Shuhuai pretends to be, his manners, behavior and voice must be very similar. Qin Peng was not very familiar with Liu Shuyan, but he felt that this person was a little colder than usual. He raised his hand and softened his voice, "Are you unhappy today, Master Liu?"
"Princess, you are joking," Qin Shuhuai frowned and softened his voice deliberately: "I am very happy to see the princess, how can I not be happy?"
Qin Peng was slightly stunned. She looked at the person in front of her. He had the same facial features, but there seemed to be some differences in his gestures, especially when he smiled, which was simply dazzling.
Qin Peng's heart was filled with laughter. She quickly lowered her eyebrows and coughed lightly: "I am worried about your Majesty's studies, so I want to supervise you. I will accompany your Majesty in the future. What do you think, Master Liu?"
Qin Shuhuai certainly thought it was okay.
He acted as Liu Shuyan just to clarify his doubts about Qin Peng.
Now he was almost certain that Qin Peng was Jiang Yi, and she was not pretending or disguising herself. There might be a very strange reason - borrowing a corpse to revive.
Although he never talks about strange things, Qin Shuhuai will make bold and cautious guesses when faced with something that cannot be explained. But because this guess is too absurd, Qin Shuhuai decides to verify it again and again. If Qin Peng is really Jiang Yi, then he must find out how she survived!
Qin Shuhuai's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and when he raised his head again, he was already smiling in Liu's standard way, and said to Qin Peng: "It is natural for the princess to care about her brother. With the princess's company, I believe Your Majesty will study hard and achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Moreover," Qin Shuhuai looked up at Qin Peng and imitated Liu Shuyan's tone, praising her sincerely: "With a beauty by my side, the whole room is full of glory. This is what Shuyan wants most."
To be honest, Qin Shuhuai has always felt that there is a reason why Liu Shuyan has so many romantic relationships.
When Qin Peng heard what Qin Shuhuai said, her heart suddenly blossomed. This is the kind of man she wanted, one who would praise her sincerely at any time and anywhere!
She suddenly realized how miserable her life was with Qin Shuhuai. After knowing each other for so many years, Qin Shuhuai hardly praised her.
Thinking about it, Qin Peng suddenly felt a little regretful.
Why didn't you come to Qi earlier? Look at the boys in Qi, any one of them is ideal!
When Qin Shuhuai looked at Qin Peng's regretful yet happy eyes, he always felt that something was wrong.
