Chapter 54 He accidentally punched his face into a pig's head.
Yun Si chuckled, her voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm: "What's our relationship?"
Shen Qian's face stiffened: "Didn't you say we were best friends? How come A-Si forgot so quickly?"
"I haven't forgotten."
"You haven't forgotten?"
Upon hearing Yun Si's perfunctory two words, Shen Qian's voice suddenly deepened, and suppressed anger surged in his eyes.
"I haven't forgotten, so why is it now harder than climbing to heaven to see you?"
"Whenever I wanted to see you before, weren't you always there for me?"
"Even if I send someone to deliver a message in the middle of the night, you can come before dawn and dusk. Why can't you do that now?"
He stepped forward, and the chill emanating from his body almost solidified.
"Do you know that when my mother was seriously ill, I went to the Xiao Prince's mansion to look for you several times? You clearly had a way to cure her, so why did you avoid me from beginning to end?"
"She's an elder who watched us grow up, are you just going to stand by and watch her die?"
"A-Si, how could you become so cold and heartless?"
Shen Qian let out a deep breath, trying his best to make his voice and tone sound calm and maintain a gentle and modest demeanor.
Is she cold and heartless?
Yun Si almost laughed in anger when she heard his series of questions and accusations.
He really dares to say that.
He abandoned his sick biological mother in another courtyard, ignoring her completely and not even going in to see her once, yet he had the nerve to call others cold and heartless!
"Is it because Prince Xiao forbids you from coming out?"
Yun Si looked up at him, her long eyelashes concealing the coldness in her eyes. She was about to speak when he abruptly interrupted her.
"He threatened you, forbidding you from even leaving the house, didn't he?"
He pressed on eagerly, his tone tinged with a self-deceiving expectation: "If you say so, I'll believe you."
Yun Si raised her eyes and replied with two words in a cold and firm voice.
"no."
The two simple words struck Shen Qian's heart like a heavy hammer.
He staggered back a step, his face turning pale instantly, as if he had suffered a tremendous blow.
Seeing his heartbroken expression, Yun Si felt a wave of nausea wash over her.
So hypocritical it's disgusting.
She was too lazy to argue with him anymore.
Now that things have come to this, even if things fall apart, she is no longer afraid of him.
At most, it just means that when you want to try again in the future, it won't be so easy to succeed.
It doesn't matter. When the Shen family is completely destroyed and becomes prisoners, I won't have any more scruples when I take action. On the contrary, it will be even more enjoyable.
Thinking of this, Yun Si pulled A Wu beside her and was about to turn around.
"Stop them!"
Shen Qian snapped back to his senses and shouted sharply.
Several guards immediately surrounded him, and Shen Qian pointed at A Wu and said coldly, "Take her away first!"
The guards obeyed and stepped forward.
Before she could even make a move, Ah Wu swayed and with a flick of her wrist, she dislocated the leading guard's arm, followed by a series of crisp sounds of fists and feet colliding.
In no time, the guards were beaten to a pulp and lay on the ground howling in pain.
Dealing with these ordinary guards was a joke to A-Wu; they wouldn't even be a match for her.
Yun Si glanced sideways at Shen Qian, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Why aren't you pretending to be so affectionate anymore? Are you trying to forcibly take me away today, or are you trying to use your old rhetoric to mentally control me?"
Shen Qian looked at the guards groaning on the ground, and upon hearing Yun Si's words, his face turned pale and then red.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He grabbed Yun Si's wrist tightly and said urgently, "I just want to help you! Prince Xiao is not in the capital. This is your best chance to leave Prince Xiao's mansion. I can take you away and get you out of his control!"
"Why would I give up being the perfectly good Princess Xiao to become a despised and abandoned woman?"
Yun Si raised an eyebrow and chuckled, easily freeing her wrist from his grasp: "I've had enough of what you say. Try a different approach, and maybe I'll consider it."
Shen Qian's pupils contracted sharply as he stared at her in disbelief: "What...do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says."
"Yun Si!"
Shen Qian raised his hand to slap Yun Si's face, but Yun Si slapped him back first.
The crisp sound mixed with the babbling water made it hard to tell whether it was real or a hallucination.
Only the pain is real.
Shen Qian covered his face, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot: "You dare hit me? Yun Si, why is this happening?"
"Why?"
Yun Si's eyes turned cold: "Didn't you already keep the answer in your heart?"
Shen Qian shuddered, his face turning ashen and sinister: "You knew everything? Since when?"
He seemed unable to accept it, and without giving Yun Si a chance to answer, he continued, "Do you think Prince Xiao can protect you for life? A Si, come with me obediently, and I can pretend nothing happened!"
Even after saying all that, he still wants to take her away?
Do you really enjoy pretending that much?
Even now, he still looks unwilling to accept it and deeply shocked.
Yun Si's eyes turned cold, and she replied with a single word: "Get lost!"
Shen Qian was so angry that his eyes seemed to spit fire.
However, the next moment, he suddenly smiled and returned to his previous gentle and modest demeanor.
"A-Si, do you think Prince Xiao will return alive after leaving the capital this time?"
Upon hearing his words, Yun Si's heart tightened slightly.
Something flashed through my mind, but it vanished in an instant.
Yun Si quickly and calmly went through the recent events in her mind.
The incident involving Qin Ye transporting grain was caused by a combination of factors.
The Emperor's probing, Shen Qian's schemes with the mysterious figure behind the scenes, and the secret machinations of various ministers with differing stances in the court.
The purpose was twofold: first, to regain control of the weapon forging process from Qin Ye; and second, to take this opportunity to suppress him if he failed to complete the task, thus disqualifying him from competing for the position of crown prince.
After all, he grew up among the common people, and it is well known that the emperor still feels somewhat indebted to him.
This sentiment, however, is also a potential threat to those who prioritize power.
Furthermore, it would also be possible to eliminate the Fifth Prince, Prince Jing, along with him.
But the implication in Shen Qian's words...
They didn't just want Qin Ye to lose power; they clearly wanted to take his life!
But why?
After her rebirth, she had clearly helped Qin Ye avoid being too sharp and outspoken, not marrying into the Jiang family, nor recognizing the Empress as his mother. So why were people behind her still so wary of him?
What went wrong that allowed them to still harbor murderous intent towards Qin Ye?
Yun Si's mind was racing, but she didn't have time to delve into it.
Shen Qian's words were by no means unfounded. He was so certain because he must have made thorough preparations for Qin Ye's journey away from Beijing.
The most important thing right now is to find a way to get the message out immediately and remind Qin Ye to be careful.
Yun Si's fingers tightened slightly. When she looked up at Shen Qian, her eyes were devoid of any emotion, only a deep and unfathomable coldness.
"Lord Shen, I advise you to watch your words in the future!"
"I could go to the Emperor and accuse you of plotting to harm the prince just now.
"If His Highness Prince Xiao escapes unscathed this time, all will be well. But if anything unexpected happens, it will be the work of you, Lord Shen Qian, and your Shen family will be held accountable by the Emperor!"
Yun Si finished speaking in one breath, then called Ah Wu and left.
Shen Qian was stunned when he heard these words.
He realized what was happening, but still wouldn't give up. He chased after her and grabbed her arm, saying, "Don't go!"
"Let go!"
Yun Si completely lost her patience and looked at A Wu beside her.
"receive."
Ah Wu had been itching to try and break Shen Qian's neck.
But Yun Si said, "Lord Shen has been disrespectful to me, the Princess Consort, on several occasions. Give him a beating and throw him into the river next to him so he can wake up!"
It turned out to be just a beating.
Ah Wu was a little disappointed, but she quickly became excited again.
Shen Qian's face showed disbelief. Just as he was about to get angry, A Wu grabbed his collar and pulled him aside. She then punched him hard in the face several times, causing him to bleed from his mouth and nose and feel dizzy.
Yun Si watched this scene with cold eyes, but what she was thinking was that A Wu's body contained some violent tendencies.
She gets excited every time she hits or kills someone.
However, they had just killed He Junyang. Although the He family's influence in the capital wasn't that great, they had been allied with the Shen family for years, and not just anyone dared to mess with them.
Now that both the He siblings have died at her hands, Shen Qian wouldn't have suspected her if she hadn't broken ties with him before. But after this, once Shen Qian goes back and thinks about it carefully, he'll probably figure things out soon.
He Junyang's death will also be traced back to her.
She was "frail and delicate" and could not kill, but Ah Wu, who was by her side, could.
With the matter of Third Uncle still unresolved and Qin Ye's situation unclear, we cannot afford to create any further complications at this time.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be unreasonable to kill this hypocrite now.
“A-Wu”.
Just as A-Wu was engrossed in the fight, she suddenly heard Yun Si's urging voice: "We should go back now."
"oh."
She nodded, dragged Shen Qian to the riverbank like a dead dog, and kicked him into the water.
"elder sister."
When she returned, A-Wu's eyes darted away slightly: "I hit him a little too hard just now, and I accidentally turned his face into a pig's head. Will you feel bad, sister?"
"Of course it hurts."
Yun Si grabbed her hand and examined her palm; it was slightly red.
"Does your hand hurt from typing? Next time, I'll make you a handy weapon so we can try not to use our hands."
Ah Wu was startled when she heard the first sentence.
"Sister, you're not angry that I slapped him?"
Especially that mouth.
It's his fault for saying so many hurtful things and making his sister angry.
"Why would you blame me?"
Yun Si pulled A Wu along and hurried towards the temple.
She originally had no intention of disposing of He Junyang's body. Even if the body were discovered, no one would suspect that she was the one who killed He Junyang.
But others don't doubt it, Shen Qian definitely will.
She and Shen Qian had fallen out like this, so Shen Qian couldn't do anything to her, but with this leverage, he would definitely seize the opportunity to deal with A Wu.
She couldn't let Awu fall into such a crisis.
Back at the temple, the corpses lay on the ground exactly as they were. Fortunately, the place had been abandoned for a long time, and no one would pass by for a while.
Yun Si asked A Wu to help drag the three black-clad men's corpses into the temple, along with He Junyang, and they all hid behind the Buddha statue covered in cobwebs.
Then quickly return to the Prince's Palace.
Upon returning, Yun Si sensed that something was amiss in the atmosphere of the mansion.
Her heart tightened.
Could it be... that something happened to Qin Ye?
