The servant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and responded, "Yes." He looked up carefully, and saw that the prince was staring at him with great interest, so he lowered his head and retreated quickly.

Wang Shuo looked at the servant's hurriedly disappearing back and smiled meaningfully.

The beauty who had seemed so weak and boneless just now raised her eyebrows, quickly jumped off him, and casually sat on the stool beside her. There was no trace of her charming look at all.

"You don't care about that beauty anymore, but now she's coming to you for help." Qingliu raised her eyelids and asked with a hint of teasing.

After hearing this, Wang Shuo propped up his head with one hand, with a casual posture and a nonchalant laugh.

"I have no relationship with her, why should I care about her affairs?"

Qingliu lowered his eyes and chuckled, but said nothing more.

"However, you, a spy that I carefully trained, did not see through the deeper meaning of this. It seems that I have not disciplined you enough."

Qingliu's eyes narrowed, and she looked up at him, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were terribly dull.

"Subordinate..."

Wang Shuo glanced at the two of them, and then said nonchalantly, "How could Li Wenxuan not be secretly observing Shen Wanqing? He was trying to find out whether I had an affair with his beloved woman. This time, I'm afraid he has already had someone keep an eye on her backyard."

"If I read this letter today, our King Sheng will receive the news in just one stick of incense."

Qingliu's breathing quickened and he took a breath of cold air.

"The subordinates are incompetent."

Qingliu's eyes flashed, and she felt that she had made a big mistake and was about to kneel down. Wang Shuo smiled faintly, reached out to hold her wrist, pulled her up, and held her in his arms.

He raised his hand and casually stroked her delicate and smooth cheek, touching it inch by inch, approaching her neck, and his hot breath spread on her skin.

Qingliu, however, felt terribly cold and his body was stiff.

Wang Shuo didn't care about her stiffness at all. Instead, he put his head on her shoulder and said, "This is a trap to lure me in. Of course, I won't play along."

Qingliu's thoughts suddenly became confused, and her mind seemed to be covered by an unclear fog. She didn't understand who the "he" he was talking about at this moment.

"How boring." Wang Shuo let her go and lay back on his mat.

Qingliu trembled slightly: "Prince."

Wang Shuo put his hands behind his head, his expression calm, and his eyes became much darker as he looked towards the eaves above his head.

"Do you know why the emperor is so angry with Shen Zian?"

"I don't know."

Wang Shuo raised a sarcastic smile and said, "King Kang supports King Chen. In the past, King Kang never took sides and knew that he had no chance of becoming the emperor. But now that King Chen is back, he immediately sided with his brother."

"And now, in this matter, it seems that Shen Zian is accusing the Fifth Prince's mother's family, and behind the scenes he is directly accusing Prince Chen."

"Why would the foolish and ridiculous brother of Lady Ying suddenly fall in love with a woman whose appearance is not top-notch, or even just a lady? Is there no official in the capital who can really handle this case?"

"Are all the officials in the capital city incompetent?"

Wang Shuo's tone was very light, and one could even say that his expression did not change at all, but it made Qing Liu feel deeply frozen and pierced to the bone.

"Yes..." Qingliu turned his head hesitantly, exclaiming with a twitch of his mouth: "Someone stopped this from happening behind the scenes."

"Hehe." Wang Shuo's eyes moved to her face, and his pupils became darker and darker. "Who pushed that person in front of Shen Zian?"

"King Sheng?" Qing Liu asked in a doubtful voice. Then he looked at Wang Shuo's meaningful smile and stood up in surprise: "Wise King!"

"Why!"

Wang Shuo sneered when he saw her pale face.

“It’s naturally killing two birds with one stone.”

"Shen Zian has offended our current emperor, which is like making Prince Sheng lose the Shen family, which is growing and developing. However, the daughter of the Shen family is in Prince Sheng's backyard. Although she is no longer favored, how can she hide it from the eyes?"

"Naturally, the virtuous king knows about me, the prince of Jingyang, and the daughter of the Shen family. So with a little guidance, Shen Wanqing will come to me for help. When the time comes, if a dissolute young man like me helps the Shen family, guess what the king of Sheng will think of me."

Qingliu didn't dare to think about it, she already knew it in her mind.

If Prince Sheng knew about this, he would certainly not tell the Crown Prince directly. But it was like a thorn in his heart, reminding him all the time that his woman had an affair with the Crown Prince. How could they be in cahoots with each other?

"That person really calculated every step very carefully, but he stayed out of the matter completely."

Wang Shuo lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"So this is him killing two birds with one stone."

"But if I remember correctly, the Shen family has another daughter, who is in... the Changning Marquis Mansion." Qingliu's eyes looked a little strange when he said this.

"Meng Changce...ha!"

Wang Shuo glanced at her playfully and said, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it."

"Meng Changce has seen all of this and has everything under control. How could he not know what kind of life his wife is leading in the Marquis' Mansion? How could he interfere in it?"

Qingliu's expression paused slightly, as if he was quite afraid of Meng Changce.

"My Lord is not afraid of that lady. He really can't bear to leave Master Shen behind."

"Then I have to watch the show even better, so that I can enjoy it more." Wang Shuo smiled, feeling somewhat satisfied at this moment: "This has always been part of Meng Changce's plan. I am not living a happy life."

"If his wife can open my eyes, I can give her a good gift."

Qingliu saw him acting like a dandy again and rolled his eyes. The depression in his heart disappeared all of a sudden.

She made eye contact with the mute girl holding the zither, picked up her skirt and ran away without even giving a courtesy to Wang Shuoxing.

Wang Shuo looked at Qingliu's anxious figure, but didn't care at all. He picked up a bunch of grapes on the table, raised his head and put them into his mouth and bit them.

Full of fragrance in the mouth, the juice moistens the dryness.

However, Meng Changce, who was expecting a good show, might be disappointed, because his wife did not take any action at all, and even never mentioned the Shen family in front of him after that incident.

I clearly told her that it was only three days.

"You really don't need me?" Meng Changce's eyes were full of smiles. He fanned her with a folding fan and glanced at her sideways.

Shen Lanyue drew up the last stroke, raised her eyebrows and turned to look at him: "Of course, I believe that the emperor has no intention of killing Zi'an at this time."

Meng Changce raised a faint smile and looked at her steadily.

"Not at this moment, but time is running out."

Shen Lanyue smiled and looked into his eyes: "Then let him suffer a little."

Meng Changce raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes all the time, and his usually stern face was full of indulgence and accommodating.

"Then have someone take good care of Lord Shen and Madam Shen in prison."

Shen Lanyue was slightly surprised and smiled.

This kind of care is not that kind of care!
