My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

These days, Liu Yiyi is very likely to repeat the same mistakes as in her previous life and continue to frame others to achieve the purpose of production. We cannot let her harm the people of Xiheyuan.

"Miss, I know." Yingyi nodded.

"I also understand that I will never act on my own." Bo Yun could hear the seriousness in An Qingqian's words.

In the side room of Fuguang Temple, King Cheng and Shi Qiuwu sat face to face.

Someone came up and poured tea for the two of them, then everyone left, leaving only the two of them in the room.

"Shi Qiuwu, you really don't consider cooperating with me?" King Cheng used the tea lid to stir the tea leaves in the cup, his tone flat.

"Your Highness, I am just a cultivator. I have been in Fuguang Temple for many years and have not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time. Even if I want to help Your Highness, I am powerless."

Shi Qiuwu smiled gently and politely declined King Cheng's invitation.

"You are staying in Fuguang Temple, but the Xianwang Mansion is still in the capital. The Xianwang uncle has always had a good relationship with my father, and he has many people at his disposal."

"My father is just an idle prince. After so many years, the people he could use have already chosen other masters."

King Cheng understood the meaning of Shi Qiuwu's words, and he was still a little unwilling. However, since Shi Qiuwu had said so, he could not force anything.

He came here today to win over Shi Qiuwu, and he couldn't say no, lest if he failed to win him over, he would end up making enemies, which would be a loss.

It was obvious that King Cheng was struggling with something, so Shi Qiuwu gave him a reassurance.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. My Xianwang Mansion will not get involved in the affairs of the court, nor will we be biased towards anyone. We are just us."

The meaning of Shi Qiuwu's words was very clear. Although he rejected King Cheng's attempt to win him over, he also made it clear that he would not stand on the side of any prince.

"Okay then." King Cheng didn't say anything else.

Before leaving, King Cheng said, "If you change your mind, please consider me first. I can give you no less than others."

After watching Cheng Wang leave in the yard, Shi Qiuwu sat back in his previous seat.

Tianshu walked into the room at some point and saw Shi Qiuwu was deep in thought. He did not make a sound to disturb her, but just put down the tea in his hand and stood quietly by her side.

"Why are you here?" Shi Qiuwu glanced at Tianshu. Tianshu usually stayed in Prince Xian's Mansion and would not come to Fuguang Temple to find Shi Qiuwu unless there was something important.

"The princess said that the weather is getting colder, so she embroidered a pair of knee pads herself and ordered her subordinates to deliver them to the prince." Tianshu hurriedly handed him the thing next to him.

"Thank you for your concern, mother." Shi Qiuwu took the knee pad and sighed softly.

"Prince, when I came here just now, I saw King Cheng and his men leaving Fuguang Temple." As soon as Tianshu came in, he noticed that there was something wrong with his master's expression.

Also, there was a cup of hot tea opposite him with steam coming out of it, which showed that someone had just left.

"He came to see me." Shi Qiuwu did not deny it.

"Prince, why would King Cheng want to see you for nothing?"

"He came to me because of something. He wanted to win me over and get me on his side so that he could succeed."

"Prince, are you saying that King Cheng wants that position?" Tianshu widened his eyes, not daring to believe his own guess.

"Ah."

"But the emperor is in his prime, and there is a prince in the court. How can we fight for this?"

The emperor is only in his forties, full of energy and holding great power. The prince is known for his wisdom and is no less capable. How could King Cheng have such thoughts?

"The temptation of power is hard to resist. Besides, the prince is only the prince and has not yet ascended the throne. Of course, everyone wants to fight for it. Once successful, they will get the world."

Shi Qiuwu was not at all surprised. As the emperor's son, almost all of them had such thoughts.

How many people are there who truly do not fight or compete?

"Prince, who do you want to help?" Tianshu asked cautiously.

"I'm just an ordinary practitioner, who can I help?" Shi Qiuwu smiled indifferently.

The struggle for imperial power has always been bloody and bloody. He is not the emperor's son and has no interest in being the master of the world, so naturally he will not help anyone.

Tianshu nodded. The Xianwang Mansion was almost in a semi-hidden state. The Xianwang had no real official position in the court, no power in his hands, nothing to do, and he was too lazy to go to court.

They had finally managed to get the emperor to let down his guard and stop targeting them, so how could they possibly get involved in the struggle for power again?

Moreover, because of Shi Qiuwu, Tianshu had met the emperor several times.

The emperor was able to sit on that throne, of course, not only because of the support of others, but also because of his own ability.

As far as he was concerned, among the emperor's sons, no one could match him in his ability to handle state affairs.

Of course, even if the emperor didn't know all of their methods, he should have some understanding of them in his mind.

"Prince, also, we have recently found out that Xue Wanxian and Prince Yong have been in frequent contact, and they communicate by letter. Both of them are very vigilant, and I cannot find out the content of their letters."

"Where is An Qingqian? What is she doing recently?" Shi Qiuwu paused. He had just seen An Qingqian, but there were other people around, so he didn't say a word.

The last time he was in Prince Xian's mansion, he inadvertently overheard the conversation between Prince Yong and An Qingqian. His words showed that he hoped An Qingqian and Xue Wanxian could reconcile.

An Qingqian agreed very well on the surface, but judging from her expression, it seemed that she was just trying to please Prince Yong.

After all, just now, he saw with his own eyes that An Qingqian renewed her marriage promise in front of the marriage tree.

"Miss An didn't do anything. It's just that a mother and daughter came to the Lin'an Marquis's Mansion. They are the sister-in-law and niece of the old lady Zhang from the Marquis's family. The purpose is to send the niece to the mansion of a high-ranking official and change the Zhang family's status to a respectable one."

After Tianshu said this, Shi Qiuwu remembered the woman who had just stood with King Cheng and then followed An Qingqian. Could she be Zhang's niece?

Looking at today's situation, could it be that the Zhang family's goal is still to become king?

"Your Highness, I discovered that Miss An also sent someone to keep an eye on Xue Wanxian. I guess she probably knows that Xue Wanxian has a relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Yong."

"She is a smart person. She probably noticed something a long time ago, but she just didn't show it. Tianshu, have someone keep an eye on Prince Yong's Mansion. Oh, especially see if Prince Yong's Mansion has sent any letters or anything to General An at the border."

Shi Qiuwu always felt that An Qingqian's efforts to find the antidote for Luo Hui were related to An Zhenyuan.

Her only relative now, the only person she cares about so much, is her biological father.
