As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Shen Lanyue eventually found out the news. She and Xu Ziyun had always been exchanging letters, and this was the first time she had been away from the capital for such a long time.

The two of them have always kept in touch, although when Shen Lanyue received the message, the incident had already happened for some time.

However, Shen Lanyue still saw the Fourth Prince's offensive against Xu Ziyun from the letter.

Shen Lanyue picked up the letter in her hand, and a trace of sadness appeared in her amber eyes. She thought of Ziyun's ending in her previous life. If it was as she said in the letter, how could Master Xu let her marry someone like Zhu Huaishu if he didn't even like the Fourth Prince?

In this life, Li Wenxuan has already married the daughter of the Sun family, so naturally, people in the palace will not let him win over the Xu family. According to the situation, the Fourth Prince is obviously the best candidate.

But Grand Tutor Xu did not fancy the Fourth Prince, and according to Shen Lanyue's understanding of Xu Ziyun, she had clearly been prepared for her fate of marrying the Fourth Prince.

Thinking of this, Shen Lanyue frowned even more tightly, and couldn't help muttering: "Something went wrong."

When Fanfan brought the fruit in from outside, he saw his master pacing back and forth in the room with a depressed look on his face.

She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. From her recent observations, her master's mood had been getting better and better since he left the capital. He no longer woke up from nightmares, and his face looked better.

The most important point is that the relationship between the master and the marquis has become closer now, the kind of feeling that no one else can interfere.

Fanfan walked up to her and called out, "Madam?"

Shen Lanyue was startled by her, "What...what happened?"

"?" Fanfan raised the fruit on the plate to show her: "Madam, what are you thinking about? I have been here for a long time."

"Nothing, just a little tired lately."

"Tired." Fanfan was surprised and said anxiously: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll go find a doctor!"

Shen Lanyue quickly held her back, "It's okay, don't make a fuss. Maybe you're tired from traveling around with the Marquis recently. Just wait for me to rest."

Fanfan looked at her with suspicion.

"Okay, okay, the fruit has been cut, and I happen to be a little hungry too." Shen Lanyue tapped her forehead and said with a smile.

"Ok."

He rubbed his forehead, pouted his lips and hummed twice.

Shen Lanyue picked up a piece of cut fruit and put it into her mouth, her eyes unfocused and memories churning in her mind.

But I couldn't remember why.

You can't possibly think that Master Xu really likes Li Wenxuan.

When she thought of this, Shen Lanyue's face turned as ugly as if she had eaten shit. Even her eyebrows were wrinkled together, and her whole body felt uncomfortable as if she had goose bumps.

"Ma'am, is it so unpalatable?"

Fanfan felt as if the sky was falling. He watched Shen Lanyue just take a bite of fruit and stop moving with an indescribable expression on her face.

"what?"

"Don't you like eating?" Meng Changce's voice came from the door.

Fanfan: "My Lord."

Shen Lanyue came back to her senses, took a look at the fruit in her hand, and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"No, I just thought of a disgusting person."

Meng Changce suddenly became interested. He sat opposite her and asked curiously, "Oh, then I am curious about who can make Lan Yue so uncomfortable."

Shen Lanyue raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Changce, slightly distracted.

Meng Changce's attire today was different from before. He was wearing a plain brocade gown and a moonlit jade pendant around his waist, but it did not affect his cool and soothing temperament at all.

The most eye-catching thing is that this person is holding a folding fan today.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, with a faint smile, and his phoenix eyes stared at Shen Lanyue tenderly. The two completely different temperaments did not conflict with each other in him.

"It seems that the Marquis is really free recently."

Meng Changce was not annoyed at all and nodded.

"This is called a rare leisure time, isn't it good? I can also spend more time with my wife, this is the life I want most."

Shen Lanyue sent her two words in her heart: Hehe

Don't you want to eventually become the regent who is second only to the emperor and controls everyone, holding power and deciding life and death? Isn't that the life you want?

Unfortunately, Shen Lanyue could only think about these words in her heart. She would not be stupid enough to say these words in front of Meng Changce, unless she didn't want to live anymore.

But suddenly Shen Lanyue had a flash of inspiration. She didn't understand why Master Xu didn't like the Fourth Prince. Meng Changce must know it.

"Fanfan, you go down first."

Fanfan: "Yes, I'll take my leave."

Meng Changce just raised his eyebrows, thinking that his wife had something to ask him.

But he remained calm, tapping his palm slowly with the folding fan in his hand, and watching him with interest.

After Shen Lanyue saw Fanfan leave, she said, "I have something I don't understand, and I would like to ask my husband to help me solve it."

Meng Changce tapped the table with his folding fan.

"My husband, did you know that I was on good terms with the daughter of the Xu family and that the Fourth Prince wanted to marry the daughter of the Xu family? That's why you took me away from the capital."

Meng Changce lowered his eyelids, stopped knocking, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Shen Lanyue to ask him so frankly and directly. He thought she would still beat around the bush and ask tentatively like before.

But to be honest, Meng Changce is actually happy now.

"It's not hard to notice that you and Xu Ziyun are on good terms. As for taking you away from the capital, that's just one of the reasons."

"Is it the Fourth Prince?"

Meng Changce sneered, with an indescribable coldness in his voice.

"Yes, he threatened me with you. It is really unsafe for you to stay in the capital." Meng Changce looked at her and said softly, "I may not be able to protect you. Only when you are in my territory will you be safe."

Shen Lanyue was shocked. There was too much information in this sentence.

When she looked at him and said this, her eyes were extremely bright, surrounded by an indescribable meaning, and her tone was so matter-of-fact.

Under the imperial power, Meng Changce said that Jiangbei was his territory.

Shen Lanyue was surprised again in her heart, wondering to what extent Meng Changce had developed his power.

"Why is Grand Tutor Xu dissatisfied with the Fourth Prince?"

Shen Lanyue looked at Meng Changce and her words landed loudly in the room.

Meng Changce smiled, his dark eyes swept across her face, but his jade-like face looked gloomy.

The corners of his upturned eyes were a little red, as gloomy as blood: "It's very simple, because the queen, because the emperor will not give this position to him."

Shen Lanyue widened her eyes in disbelief. Of course she knew that the Fourth Prince had no chance of becoming Emperor, but she didn't expect that the Queen didn't want to.

"Why? The Fourth Prince has been raised by the Queen's side. Could it be that she likes the Third Prince?"

Meng Changce chuckled: "Silly boy, the queen has another son."
