"I'll come to see you as soon as I find a chance." The prince raised his hand and pulled Zhao Ruyun, who was deliberately staying away from him, into his arms.
"Now that something like this has happened to my aunt, the only person I can count on in Kyoto is you, Prince." Zhao Ruyun's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she leaned weakly against the prince and sobbed softly.
"I will protect you." The prince smiled and kissed her hard, and his hands became restless.
Zhao Ruyun had no confidence to refuse and could only agree.
"Prince, I don't want to stay in the Shen family anymore. Shen Lan will be back soon, and my aunt is speechless. What should I do if Shen Lan drives me out?" Zhao Ruyun has been worried about this matter.
"It is precisely because of Zhao Qiuyi's behavior that Shen Lan will not drive you away. You just wait a little longer. After I marry Shen Qingwu into the mansion, I will definitely take you in." The prince liked Zhao Ruyun's feeling too much, as she was worried about someone breaking in but had to cater to him.
"Shen Qingwu knows everything about us." Zhao Ruyun breathed slightly.
"So what if you know?" The prince didn't care and his movements became more intense.
"I've told you that even if Shen Qingwu becomes the Crown Princess, she won't be in this position for long. When the time comes, everything that belongs to her will be yours. Be good..." the Crown Prince whispered.
"I know I have wronged you, but I know that Yun'er is the one who understands my pain the most." The prince looked at her apologetically, but his hands did not stop moving.
Zhao Ruyun's tears suddenly fell even more violently. Yes, she was the one who understood the prince the most, and no one could replace her position in the prince's heart.
Amidst the prince's anticipation and urging, she slowly knelt before him and leaned over...
…
"They really did not disappoint my expectations of them." As soon as Shen Qingwu returned home, he learned that when the prince went to see Zhao Qiuyi, Zhao Qiuyi had indeed gone crazy again.
The prince and Zhao Ruyun were alone together for a long time.
"Adulterer and adulteress, a pair of bastards, how can such a person be worthy of being the crown prince!" Shen Qingtang cursed in a low voice, "What is the character of the Second Prince Chu Guanxi?"
"What can he do about Concubine Liu's son?" Without waiting for Shen Qingwu to speak, Shen Qingfeng spoke with disdain.
"Then, what about the third prince Chu Guannan?" Shen Qingtang asked again.
"Only the face is worth looking at, other than that it's useless!" Shen Qingfeng said with disgust again.
Shen Qingwu, "..."
Is it really okay to be so undisguised in your disdain?
"The fourth prince, Chu Guanbei, is too young." Shen Qingtang denied the last person, "Is the Chu royal family going to be destroyed?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand to cover her mouth. She said such outrageous words in a watery voice, her eyes moving quickly to look at the two of them.
The two of them made a gesture to keep quiet. Shen Qingwu said, "What Sister said even makes sense."
The country is about to be destroyed. Chu Guannan is not the emperor's son at all, but the dragon energy in his body is growing stronger day by day.
"Let's go see the Crown Prince first. Although his character is not good, he is quite cunning." Shen Qingwu shrugged helplessly. "It's not easy to break off the engagement with him and get away with it."
…
In the palace, Concubine Liu's house arrest was lifted.
The second prince contracted the plague in the south, and his younger sister Liu Ruyan died. The emperor's pity for her reached its peak, and he went to see her in person.
Concubine Liu was dressed in plain clothes and kneeling in the small Buddhist temple.
The emperor raised his hand and the palace maids retreated, leaving only their confidants to serve by their side to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"The person has been brought here, but Shen Qingwu cannot move yet." The emperor stood beside Concubine Liu, clasped his hands together facing the small Buddha statue, and silently chanted "Amitabha".
"Aren't you afraid that she might actually be able to figure this out?" Concubine Liu still had her eyes closed, twirling the Buddhist beads in her hand. "That Yang Tong should have seen her daughter. Everything is exactly as Shen Qingwu said. She really has something."
"As long as we can tame people, the greater their abilities, the more beneficial it will be to us." The emperor smiled, "No one in this world is without desires. No matter what is hidden under Shen Qingwu's skin, we will eventually use it."
"The fox Shen Qingwu gave Lin Tingwei is definitely not simple." Concubine Liu brought up the past. "I have a hunch that Lin Zhimeng's soul might be in that fox's body. If we can use this to find a way for the soul to transfer, wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble?"
"Tingwei Lin won't offer the fox voluntarily. That fox is also very shrewd. The secret guards I sent out won't be able to find a chance." The emperor shook his head. "Tingwei Lin is not just a simple torturer. He has quietly reached the second level of martial arts in the past two years. He is not easy to deal with."
"That old Chu Tao is also a waste. He raises soldiers for a thousand days but only uses them for a moment. He has raised Chu Zhiyou for so many years, but Chu Zhiyou has not helped him at all!" Concubine Liu couldn't help but curse again, "I think he doesn't want to live anymore!"
"Shen Qingwu made a peace knot, and Chu Tao has already found a Taoist priest. They all agree with Shen Qingwu's statement, and Chu Tao is already tempted." said the emperor.
"He deserves to die. He couldn't even mess up such a simple thing!" Concubine Liu gritted her teeth and said, "I want to see what Shen Qingwu said that could affect Chu Tao!"
The emperor patted Concubine Liu's shoulder helplessly and said, "Don't act on impulse. Chu Tao is still useful. The child below is indeed not in good condition recently. It's better to believe it. Your road is the most difficult."
Concubine Liu snorted, stood up and followed the emperor's footsteps, but half of her drooping hair had turned white.
"The eldest lady would rather let Song Siwei marry into the Wang family than to distance herself from this son. What do you think about the second son's matter?" Concubine Liu asked in a suppressed voice, looking at the bright yellow figure in front of her.
…
The next day, Shen Qingwu received an invitation from Zong Zheng Cheng Chu Tao.
Shen Qingwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you don't want to go, then we won't go." Shen Qingtang said unhappily, "No one with the surname Chu is a good person!"
Shen Qingwu laughed, squeezed Shen Qingtang's hand and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. This time, we have to find a chance to find out more about Chu Tao."
"What's Chu Tao's background?" Shen Qingtang frowned. "Is he planning a rebellion?"
