Zhao Yi is a secret guard who usually pretends to be "Liu Shuyan".

He was originally a servant of Zhao Peng. Zhao Peng had four secret guards, but three of them died that year, leaving only Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi went out on a mission, and when he came back, Zhao Peng had died. Zhao Yi continued to serve Qin Shuhuai according to Zhao Peng's will. Qin Shuhuai's personal guards were named Zhao Er, Zhao San, and Zhao Si according to Zhao Peng's naming style.

Zhao Yi was a person who was very good at imitating others. He delivered the post to Qin Peng according to Qin Shuhuai's instructions.

Knowing that Zhao Yi had given the post, Qin Shuhuai entered the dungeon with peace of mind.

At this time, Lu You was drinking and fist-fighting with someone.

Lu You had been doing well in the dungeon recently, and had gained a lot of weight. When Qin Shuhuai came in, everyone left. Lu You sat in the cell drinking, not even looking at Qin Shuhuai. Qin Shuhuai just stood at the door and waited quietly. He didn't say anything, and Lu You ignored him, sipping his wine one sip at a time, as if Qin Shuhuai didn't exist.

After a long time, Qin Shuhuai spoke first: "Actually, I'm very curious. For so many years, I have caused the entire Jiang family to be wiped out. Why didn't Jiang Yi kill me?"

Lu You remained silent, and Qin Shuhuai continued, "Given Jiang Yi's personality, she would have killed me regardless of everything. When I fell off the cliff with her, she would have fought to the death to kill me."

Lu You sneered, full of disdain. Qin Shuhuai approached Lu You and said in a low voice: "Lu You, I can kill her once, so I can kill her a second time."

"What do you want to know from me?"

Lu You took a sip of wine, as if he had anticipated what Qin Shuhuai was going to say: "You want to revive Zhao Peng, right? You think everyone can have such good luck, right?"

Lu You's voice was a little hurried, but Qin Shuhuai remained calm, not moved at all: "Tell me, I can give you everything you want."

"You can't give it to me."

"I can." Qin Shuhuai said forcefully, "I can help you rise to a high position in the government and become a royal consort. Lu You," Qin Shuhuai looked into Lu You's eyes, "Isn't this what you want?"

Lu You's face froze for a moment, and after a moment, he slowly said, "Qin Shuhuai, I have never had any desire for her."

Qin Shuhuai frowned, not quite understanding.

In fact, he never found out the relationship between Lu You and Jiang Yi very clearly. Lu You was not a spy he found out, but a spy he felt was a spy.

But……

Qin Shuhuai was thinking about another question. If Lu You was Jiang Yi's man, and if Jiang Yi had resurrected into Qin Peng a long time ago, why did Lu You only reveal his true identity recently?

Because Qin Peng only contacted Lu You recently?

Why did Qin Peng contact Lu You only recently?

Qin Shuhuai was a little confused, he held himself back and listened to Lu You continue: "She saved me, I want to repay her. I bought spring rain coral for her for so many years, not because I want her as a person, but because I want her to be happy."

"Qin Shuhuai," Lu You looked up at him, "She has her own new life now, so don't dwell on the past. As long as you don't get in her way in the court, she has no intention of killing you, so let her go."

"Zhao Peng can't come back."

Lu You chuckled: "She is just an accident, don't force her. Besides, even if Zhao Peng comes back, what if she returns to someone else and already has a husband?"

"impossible!"

Qin Shuhuai spoke out suddenly.

Lu You’s words made his hands and feet go cold, and he didn’t even dare to think about such a possibility.

Maybe Zhao Peng will come back, but maybe when he sees her again, she will already be a mother and a wife.

What should he do then?

Do you want to keep me here?

He never wanted to see her unhappy in the slightest.

Let go?

He has spent his entire life on her, how can he let go?

He could only repeat over and over again: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"What's impossible?" Lu You said sarcastically, "Isn't Qin Peng already married? Her feelings for Master Wei are obvious to all. How can you do this after spending ten years together without any feelings for him?"

Qin Shuhuai didn't say anything. He felt a little confused.

He closed his eyes and said calmly, "I'll take you back tomorrow."

Lu You was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I finally waited for it."

Qin Shuhuai ignored Lu You, turned around and left the dungeon. At this time, Qin Peng also gave Zhao a reply, asking him to go to Zuixianlou at 3 p.m. tomorrow.

Qin Peng had considered this matter. She was very happy when she received Liu Shuyan's visiting card. She originally wanted to meet him at Wei's house, but then she changed her mind and thought that meeting at Wei's house would be too restrictive. Now was the time when she and Liu Shuyan were developing their relationship, so it would be better for them to be a little free.

So she booked a private room in Zuixianlou, and Zhao Yi told Qin Shuhuai the time immediately. Qin Shuhuai nodded and said, "You must arrive on time tomorrow, and I will bring people there. You will stay on the beam secretly at that time. It would be best if Qin Peng finds you. I will deliberately threaten Qin Peng to take action, and you step forward to stop him. After stopping him, just pretend to be panicked and leave." As he said that, Qin Shuhuai carefully told Zhao Yi what he was going to do. Zhao Yi understood and then left.

The next day, when Zhao Yi arrived at Zuixianlou, Qin Peng was already ready and waiting to find him.

On this day, Qin Peng wore a blue skirt with a white gauze robe on the outside, a flower ornament on her forehead, and let her hair down in a bun like a little girl.

When Zhao Yi entered the room, he was startled by Qin Peng. For a moment, he actually recalled his former master, the stunning Yan Du.

Qin Peng stood up with a smile and asked Zhao Yi to sit down. Zhao Yi did his job conscientiously, pretending to be Liu Shuyan and chatting casually with Qin Peng.

Qin Peng felt that Liu Shuyan was a little different today, but she couldn't tell exactly what was different. She felt that when he spoke, he lacked the kind of gesture that could make people's heart beat faster.

Qin Peng guessed that it was probably because Liu Shuyan was absent-minded and in a bad mood today, so she cleared her throat and said to "Liu Shuyan": "Master, are you not very happy today? Let me tell you a joke."

"Liu Shuyan" held up the wine glass and raised his eyebrows: "I would like to hear the details."

Qin Penghui didn't have many jokes. After thinking for a while, she picked one that she used to tell in Beiyan: "There was a wealthy businessman who had never been educated. He spent money to donate to become an official. Later, his boss came and they chatted. The boss said, "I have two sons at home. What about you? Guess what he said?"

Zhao Yi was stunned holding the wine glass. At this time, Qin Shuhuai had already come to the door. He heard the girl inside telling this joke with a smile and was stunned on the spot.

Jiang Chun followed and saw Qin Shuhuai with his hands on the door, his eyebrows downcast. Inside was the joyful laughter of a woman. He continued, "This rich businessman thought about it. His boss said that he had two sons, and I couldn't exaggerate that my son was better than a dog, so he said, I only have one little turtle in my family!"

As he spoke, Qin Peng laughed happily.

She is a person who laughs very easily. This joke has been told for many years and still makes people laugh when they tell it again.

However, at this moment, no one laughed, whether inside or outside the door.

Zhao Yi stared at Qin Peng blankly, while Qin Shuhuai outside the door trembled slightly and repeated in a low voice: "Little bastard..."

In an instant, everyone seemed to see the smiling man from that year, telling stories in front of them without changing even a word.

But it's just a joke, everyone can tell jokes, maybe she was just making it up?

Qin Shuhuai felt a little sad, and Jiang Chun beside him reminded him: "Sir?"

Qin Shuhuai came back to his senses and closed his eyes: "Push the door."

Jiang Chun immediately went forward and knocked on the door, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, the Princess, the Prince has something to discuss with you. Please open the door."

Qin Peng's face turned cold when she heard this. She was about to say something when she saw "Liu Shuyan" suddenly climb onto the beam and make a "huh" gesture towards Qin Peng, obviously not wanting Qin Shuhuai to know he was there.

Qin Peng carefully put away the cup and chopsticks and asked Bai Zhi to open the door.

After Bai Zhi opened the door, Qin Peng looked at Qin Shuhuai with a smile, but his eyes were full of questions: "I happened to wander here to eat, and the prince followed closely. Did the prince follow the smell?"

After hearing this, Jiang Chun's face was filled with anger: "You..."

Qin Shuhuai raised his hand to stop him, walked out the door, and then said to the people around him: "Go down!"

Bai Zhi's expression remained unchanged. Qin Peng secretly applauded the person she had nurtured, but she knew that Qin Shuhuai must have come for some reason, so she smiled and said to Bai Zhi, "Go down."

Bai Zhi bowed and walked out. Jiang Chun closed the door, and the group of people stood guard at the door, not moving.

Qin Shuhuai and Qin Peng were the only ones left in the room, along with "Liu Shuyan" hiding on the beam. Qin Peng lazily got up and sat by the window, leaning against the railing and looking at the pedestrians in the distance. He said calmly, "Why are you here in such a hurry, Prince? What are you going to do?"

"I sent Lu You to your place, but I couldn't find you."

"Oh, for someone else? Thank you very much."

Qin Peng said calmly, without even turning his head, "Go back after you've delivered the gift."

"But before I send it off, I know something."

Qin Shuhuai's voice was calm. He stared at Qin Peng, unwilling to miss any expression on her face.

"You are not Qin Peng."

"We seem to have argued about this issue many times."

Qin Peng held his chin in his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

"You are an old friend who has returned from the dead."

Hearing this, Qin Peng suddenly froze, her heart beating wildly, and then she heard Qin Shuhuai coldly spit out a name.

"Jiang Yi."

Qin Peng: “…”

She suddenly calmed down. After making such a big fuss, she thought he knew something terrible.

So, he just knew that she was Jiang Yi?

I almost thought the ultimate vest had fallen off.
