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

Shen Lanyue didn't know what all Meng Changce's opportunities were, but when he asked her to cooperate with him in a play that night, she felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, she can finally become someone Meng Changce can work with, and one day in the future she can also take this as a request.

At that time, Shen Lanyue had a scale in her heart. She didn't know who was behind those people, but Meng Changce obviously knew about their opportunities, but he still asked her to cooperate with him in acting.

This shows one thing, that Meng Changce needs someone who can be seen as a threat to him by outsiders.

Shen Lanyue saw this right away. Those assassins were obviously trying to intimidate her, and they didn't really want to get rid of her. After weighing the pros and cons, an idea popped up in her mind.

One that can not only allow Meng Changce to deeply see the injuries she suffered for him and remember her kindness in helping him at this time, but also allow those who have been eyeing him behind the scenes to find out that someone is really trying to deal with Meng Changce.

Shen Lanyue believed that since Meng Changce needed this scene, the more obvious and exaggerated it was, the better his chance would be.

Shen Lanyue was like a victorious fox, looking at him with a knowing look in her eyes.

"Okay, since Madam is frightened, you should stay in bed and rest for a short time." Meng Changce turned his head, curled the corners of his lips and looked at her meaningfully.

"nature."

Meng Changce smiled and once again looked at Shen Lanyue's arm, a flash of complexity passing through his eyes.

But he still didn't say anything. He just helped Shen Lanyue down, covered her with a quilt and let her have a good rest.

Meng Changce sat beside her bed, and only left her bedside quietly after Shen Lanyue closed her eyes and fell asleep. When he stepped out of the room, he was right in line with Fanfan's sight.

The faint fear of him in Fanfan's eyes had changed, and now there was a hint of complaint in her eyes.

Meng Changce found it a little funny, but he had always been somewhat tolerant of Shen Lanyue's personal maid, and he roughly understood that she was blaming him for not having someone protect her master well.

He just lowered his eyelids slightly, glanced at her, and his body stiffened for a moment.

Meng Changce felt that this maidservant didn't have much courage, and when she was with Shen Lanyue she didn't act like her at all.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind briefly before he left with Fu Bei.

After all, the real protagonist this time might be about to appear. He has already set up such a big plan for him, so how could he not show up!

The news of the injury of Marquis Changning's wife soon reached the ears of many people who were interested. For example, when Shen Wanqing heard the news, she was extremely happy for a while.

Xu Ziyun was even more frightened and hurried over to see Shen Lanyue. It was Shen Lanyue who asked Fanfan to give her a message, telling her that nothing serious was happening to her and that she needed to have a good rest, which stopped her from having this idea.

In just one day, the palace also received the news.

The next day, the palace sent people to deliver supplements and other things, and also specially sent an imperial physician to show the favor to Marquis Changning.

In the study of the Fourth Prince's Mansion

Meng Changce's eyes dimmed, hiding the tide in his eyes, and he chuckled silently, the emotion in his eyes disappeared quickly. The cup of hot tea on the table was still steaming, and he moved his gaze to the flickering bamboo shadows on the window.

With a "ah--" sound, the door was pushed open, breaking the silence inside, and Qingfeng Langlang's figure also appeared in Meng Changce's eyes.

Meng Changce stood up, his eyes flashed quickly, and he said respectfully in his phoenix eyes: "Fourth Prince."

"No need, we are all cousins, why are we still so distant?"

Li Jing smiled heartily, showing his gentle and generous temperament to the fullest, and lifted Meng Changce's arm to lift him up.

"Since ancient times, the ruler is the ruler and the subject is the subject, and the subject should not violate the etiquette."

Li Jing was slightly surprised, but he quickly reacted and stopped asking him. However, the smile on his lips rose a little, and it was obvious that Meng Changce's words pleased him.

"That's right. Even if it's me, I have to die if the king wants me to be like him." An unclear meaning emerged in Li Jing's deep eyes.

Meng Changce's eyes were clear, and he pretended not to understand.

Anyway, he was just a playboy, so if he didn't understand Li Jing, he couldn't figure out what he meant.

When Li Jing saw that Meng Changce did not answer, he felt confused and unhappy. He didn't understand whether he really didn't understand his hint or he deliberately didn't want to answer him.

"Please sit down. Changce, why are you standing all the time? You and my cousin are in the same boat. There's no need to be so formal."

Li Jing hinted again.

In name, they were indeed in the same boat. Marquis Changning supported the Fourth Prince Li Jing, so if he ascended to that throne, he would naturally receive all the benefits.

"Yes, Changce will definitely follow the Fourth Prince's lead and devote himself to his work."

Meng Changce looked at Li Jing with bright eyes and a smile on his face.

Li Jing was almost stunned by what Meng Changce said. There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes when he looked at Meng Changce.

"Of course I believe this." Li Jing lowered his gaze and asked tentatively, "Now I believe that you, my cousin, can help me with one thing."

"?"

Li Jing coughed, sighed, stood up and said calmly: "I have always admired and respected the old marquis. He is a hero in my heart, but I have to admit this matter... Alas..."

He was halfway through his words when he glanced at Meng Changce, then frowned and sighed towards the window.

He saw that Meng Changce's eyes became deep and dark after he said these words, and there was no trace of a smile on his face. He lowered his eyes without saying a word.

Li Jing couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. He felt that his guess was right. Meng Changce might have some evidence from that year.

He walked forward, patted his shoulder soothingly, and murmured, "I just learned about this from the palace, but don't worry, when I ascend to the throne, I will definitely give justice to the old marquis."

Meng Changce suddenly raised his head, his eyes were deep, and he looked at Li Jing in confusion and asked, "Fourth Prince, what is justice? Is there any problem with my father's death?"

After saying this, he frowned, his face no longer as lazy as usual but instead looked irritable and restless.

"Your Highness, would you please tell me?"

Li Jing was stunned by his question, but he reacted immediately and tried to see a hint of meaning from his face, but all he could see in Meng Changce's eyes was anxiety and urgency.

He felt somewhat unhappy. Li Jing simply didn't believe that Meng Changce knew nothing about it.

He also desperately wanted to have a trump card in his hand that could threaten the Queen and the Emperor, and his tone was as cold as if covered with a thin layer of ice.

"Marquis Changning! I heard that your wife met an assassin on her way home a few days ago."
