Duke Jing's younger sister

Shen Beiqi's eyes were cold. Han Yunning's throwing herself at him did not stir the slightest ripple in his heart. Instead, it made him feel disgusted.

He was too lazy to waste any more time with her, so he pushed the woman behind him away and walked away in big strides.

What he didn't notice was that behind him, the woman's bright face gradually became distorted.

The pair of peach blossom eyes that were 50% similar to his, the tenderness in the corners of the eyes collapsed and dissipated in an instant the moment he left.

It was like an owl standing on a treetop in the dead of night, gradually emitting an eerie cold light that made people feel creepy.

……

If Shen Li guessed correctly...

Shen Beiqi's eyes flashed. Now it seems that Han Yunning must have done it on purpose in order to delay time and stop him from rescuing A'li.

It seems that she had known that A'li would meet the Fourth Princess, and even knew that the Fourth Princess would use a snake to deal with A'li.

So, did she know that someone deliberately put two highly poisonous obsidian snakes into the fourth princess's snake bag?

Or maybe she knew everything about this matter from beginning to end, and her original intention was to deal with Concubine Zhao, so she wanted to implicate A'li and assassinate A'li, and then let the Fourth Princess take the blame?

She wants to get rid of A-Li?

Shen Beiqi's face was solemn, with a chill in his eyes. What threat did A'li pose to her?

Or is it because of him?

If his engagement with Han Yunning failed and it made her have inappropriate thoughts, then there would be no need for this marriage to go ahead!

Furthermore, why would she, a girl in the boudoir, plot to murder Concubine Zhao? Could it be that someone instructed her to do so?

Could it be that her father, Han Xiang, also joined the party struggle?

Han Dingbang, a veteran of the two dynasties of Southern Wu, is now a first-rank prime minister holding the Nine Dragon Regent Sceptre.

Shen Beiqi has always respected him, and because he did not get involved in party disputes and remained neutral, he agreed to the marriage between Yang and the Han family.

But if Han Yunning played a role in fueling the situation at the palace banquet that night, then Prime Minister Han was definitely not as upright as he appeared to be.

It seems that he needs to lend a helping hand to Commander Zhang and help him get to the bottom of the case. By then, many things will become clear.

His face became more and more gloomy, Shen Li couldn't help but ask, "Brother? You are not really angry, are you?"

Shen Beiqi retracted his thoughts, side-glanced and asked, "Why am I angry?"

"Miss Han is your wife-to-be. I have no evidence to back me up and I said bad things about her in front of you. Of course you should be angry."

"What if I'm not angry?"

"...That proves that you hid it well and didn't want me to find out. You are angry."

What kind of fallacy is this?

Shen Beiqi was really angry and laughed this time!

He raised his hand, bent the back of his finger and tapped her little head, "You are thinking nonsense!"

He didn't use any force and it didn't hurt at all. Shen Li begged for mercy with a smile, her deer eyes sparkling, which made his heart inexplicably soft.

He unconsciously spread out his hands and gently stroked her soft hair with his palms, just like he did when she was a child.

I couldn't help but think of that day.

Surrounded by bamboo forests, the wind is rustling.

He was really angry when she lay in Luo Cheng's arms.

Only her affairs could make him so angry that he lost his mind and not even a trace of calmness remained.

Just as he was lost in thought, Liang Bola stopped the carriageway and said, “Duke, we’re here.”

Liang Bo is a deputy general under Shen Beiqi. He is tall and strong, a typical military man, with a rough and bold appearance.

Shen Beiqi put away his thoughts, got off the horse first, and then helped Shen Li out of the car.

The sky is clear and the air is fresh, and the sea of ​​clouds is vast.

Looking around, on the endless green grassland, there are white tents like snow piles, which look like huge fluorescent pearls under the sun.

The yellow royal fence stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the center of the vast and flat venue, a square platform was built with wood as thick as a bowl, on which were placed bronze tripods, tables and other items used for sacrifices.

It took less than three hours from leaving the Shen Mansion to now.

Although the distance is not close, it is not impossible to get back before the city gate is locked.

But from what he said, it seemed like he was saying that he wouldn't be going back to the city for the next two days and would stay here?

"Brother——"

Shen Li called out softly. He was tall and had long legs, and his casual steps were very big. She had to speed up a few steps to catch up with him.

Hearing the voice, Shen Beiqi turned around and saw her walking quickly with her skirt lifted up. He subconsciously slowed down his pace to allow her to walk side by side with him.

"You're going to stay here tonight?"

Shen Beiqi nodded, "Tonight and tomorrow night, and we will return to the city the day after tomorrow."

"Then... I won't go back either? I want to live here too?"

"Ah."

In fact, it is not necessary for Shen Li to live here.

However, the Emperor and Empress will be here in person tomorrow, and he is busy with official business tonight, so he is afraid that he will not be able to leave.

He was worried about leaving her alone in the Shen Mansion. His mother would surely be furious and would throw a tantrum when they returned.

He set up this trap himself, and he couldn't let her bear the consequences alone.

After much thought, he decided to take her out of the city and avoid the limelight for a while.

Shen Li had never lived in a tent before, so when she saw those tents that looked like white steamed buns, she felt a sense of novelty.

"Which tent should I live in?"

She smiled sweetly, and her whole appearance looked much brighter. Shen Beiqi curled the corners of his lips slightly. It seemed that bringing her out was the right decision.

"The tents in the enclosure are divided into two sides, east and west. The east side is where your majesty, your majesty, the prince and other officials live."

"These," Shen Li looked in the direction where he pointed, and Shen Beiqi continued, "This is the west tent. The families brought by the officials are all arranged here."

Officials and their families should live in two different tents in two locations?

"Then, doesn't that mean..." Shen Li murmured, "You want to leave me alone in the west tent?"

Although she spoke in a low voice, Shen Beiqi was a martial artist with excellent hearing, so he heard every word she muttered and smiled.

"I will stay with you in the West Tent, but I will be very busy tonight and probably won't be able to accompany you."

Her face turned red and she asked in surprise, "Live with me?"

Shen Beiqi's body froze, then he reacted, "...My tent is next to yours."

"Ahem..." He clenched his fist and put it to his lips, coughing lightly to ease the embarrassment, "After the festival ends tomorrow, there will be a hunting competition and a polo match, and there will be a bonfire in the evening. We finally got out, so let's have some fun."

Shen Li nodded vigorously and said with a bright smile, "Well, thank you, brother!"
