Chu Guannan paused as he took off his robe, hung it on the hanger, and walked to the bedside. "How did you know? Did Xie Yuening know?"
Did Xie Enyu tell his elder sister everything?
"Is General Xie also your man?" Shen Qingwu did not answer and continued to ask.
He was a little surprised that the Grand Marshal, one of the three great leaders in the court, actually supported him?
"Not really. That old fox is just betting on both sides." Chu Guannan said indifferently.
Shen Qingwu said with understanding, "Within three days, Xie Yuening will definitely return to the Xie family. Her daughter was persecuted by her mother-in-law and has four iron needles in her body."
"There are four iron needles in the body?" Chu Guannan couldn't imagine it.
Shen Qingwu explained the whole story to him, "Don't tell anyone about this. It will take me some time to get it out. Find a new identity for the child as soon as possible."
"Women have to go through a lot of hardships. This matter will take a few days." Chu Guannan sighed, and his hand naturally fell on Shen Qingwu's shoulder.
The two of them seemed like an old married couple.
The night is like water, and everything seems to be a natural process.
Shen Qingwu did not waste a single moment of this spring night.
She had made some progress in magic today, and she needed the help of Chu Guannan's luck to improve herself as quickly as possible.
Shen Qingwu knew that she not only had to protect the Shen family of the Great Xia Kingdom, she also wanted to fight back against the demon clan and avenge her people!
At dawn, Chu Guannan put on his clothes and looked at the person who had been woken up but didn't want to open her eyes. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Will we have a baby like this?"
Shen Qingwu turned over and faced away from him, "No."
Chu Guannan couldn't help but show disappointment. When he turned around to leave, he couldn't help but look back, raised his hand and touched her shoulder, and said softly:
"Don't take any medicine carelessly. It's not good for your health. If you're pregnant, keep the baby. No matter how difficult my future is, I still have the ability to protect a child."
After saying that, he took her hand and took her pulse.
Shen Qingwu's body, which was pretending to be asleep, stiffened slightly, and he let him take his pulse without moving.
Only after making sure that she was fine did Chu Guannan leave with light steps.
…
The next day, Shen Qingwu entered the palace again to apologize.
When she arrived, Mo Yiren and Ren Shule's father came over after the court session and cried and begged the emperor to make a decision.
The prince also rushed over upon hearing the noise.
At the same time, there was a military report on the emperor's desk that was delivered from the border at full speed.
Now that the spring farming has just ended, foreign tribes are trying to invade, and this is when the Shen family needs to make an effort.
"It's just a fight between the younger generation." The emperor said vaguely to smooth things over.
"Your daughters have bullied my future Crown Princess in the street before. I didn't pursue your disrespect, but you want to punish my Crown Princess instead?" The Crown Prince is very protective of his face now.
"No matter what, Qingwu, you have gone too far. I will punish you to stay at home and reflect on your mistakes for two months." The emperor said neither lightly nor harshly.
The Supervisor of the Imperial Household and the Minister of the Imperial Guards knew from the emperor's attitude that this was the only way to deal with the matter today.
After all, they were not completely right, as they knew what their daughter had done before.
…
With the arrival of the summer solstice, Shen Qingwu, who had been under house arrest for two months, was finally free.
Crown Prince Chu Guandong came in person to congratulate her and took her to the royal hunting banquet.
In the royal hunting ground, the children of noble families are ready to show off.
There are four royal hunting banquets every year. If you can win the emperor's favor, your future will definitely be bright.
The girls also competed with each other for beauty.
The emperor has four sons, and except for the crown prince, the other princes do not have a wife yet.
"Miss Shen crippled Miss Mo's legs a while ago. I guess she must be quite skilled, right?" Seeing that Shen Qingwu was wearing a lake blue dress and had not changed into riding clothes, the girl from Zheng Taishi's family said something sarcastic.
Shen Qingwu just glanced at her and passed her by as if she were air.
"Shen Qingwu, you are the daughter of a military general after all. Do you dare to enter the hunting ground and compete with me?" Zheng Yutong was not discouraged. She walked straight up to Shen Qingwu and issued a challenge.
"I dare not." Shen Qingwu took a step back in disgust.
Zheng Yutong's forehead is very dark. He will definitely suffer a bloody disaster today, and even his life will be in danger. She doesn't want to get so close to such an unlucky person.
"Weren't you very powerful when you bullied Yaoyao and the others before? Why are you so cowardly now?" Zheng Yutong refused to give in.
"Yaoyao has been under house arrest because of you. The Prime Minister won't let her leave the palace until now. Her marriage has been put on hold. Yiren's legs are broken, and Shule's face is disfigured. How can you still have the nerve to stand here?"
Shen Qingwu looked at her like an idiot and said, "When I was bullied, why didn't you tell them to be embarrassed to go out on the street?"
"I was lucky enough to survive the beatings. I didn't get disfigured or have my legs broken. I'm so lucky, why shouldn't I be embarrassed to stand here?"
"Shen Qingwu, you—" Zheng Yutong didn't expect Shen Qingwu to be so shameless, "You ruined someone's life!"
"Since you care about them so much, why don't you just go and accompany them? I'm a kind-hearted person and I'm willing to take the trouble to help you." Shen Qingwu looked down from Zheng Yutong's head.
"What do you mean?" Zheng Yutong frowned and took a step back.
"Do you not want your face anymore, or do you not want your legs anymore?" Shen Qingwu asked kindly, hugging his arms.
At that moment, Zheng Yutong felt as if the places where her eyes fell on were all painful as if being pricked by needles.
Zheng Yutong suddenly felt a little scared and turned away unwillingly.
Her little group looked at her expectantly.
Shen Qingwu didn't want to go, especially after seeing Zheng Yutong.
However, there are always some villains causing trouble.
Zong Zhengcheng and his son Chu Zhiyou were both by the emperor's side. Shen Qingwu had beaten Chu Zhiyou up before, and the father and son naturally complained to the emperor, but the emperor didn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, Shen Qingwu is from a military family. Why not let her go to the hunting ground and see if she can come out on top this year? Then she can marry into the royal family and become the Crown Princess. She will be able to hold her head high in front of all the noble ladies. After all, she was stupid for many years. Today's hunting trip is a great opportunity for her to make a name for herself and establish her prestige." Zong Zhengcheng said to the emperor with a smile.
Anyway, he doesn't believe that a fool can suddenly know everything.
The emperor was somewhat tempted.
He was very curious about Shen Qingwu's behavior these days. Perhaps a test today would help him find out.
The old eunuch stepped forward to announce the decree.
In public, Shen Qingwu had no chance to refuse.
The prince also echoed, "Let's try it. Even if we don't catch anything, it doesn't matter."
The others followed suit.
Shen Qingwu remained unmoved. "If I really can't hunt anything, I will definitely bring shame to the Crown Prince."
"Can it be more embarrassing than your previous stupidity and foolishness?" Chu Zhiyou changed into riding clothes and walked over, but he still couldn't control his big mouth.
"Are you scared?" Chu Zhiyou looked at her provocatively. "Weren't you quite fierce when you beat people up before? Why, are you scared now? Shen Qingwu, if you don't go, you'll be disobeying the emperor's order!"
