Shen Wei turned around after hearing this.

There was still some lotus pastry crumbs on the corner of Shen Wei's mouth. She was holding a half-eaten pink peach pastry in her hand. She sat leisurely on the edge of the waterside pavilion, swinging her feet leisurely.

There is no sign of decline at all.

The whole person is full of energy and vigor.

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment. She never expected that Shen Wei would still look so contented even when facing such a disaster.

"Your death is approaching, and you're still in the mood to eat?" Zhang Yue almost laughed out of anger, feeling very unhappy.

She wanted to see Shen Wei crying in sadness, not the silly and lively look in front of her.

Shen Wei smiled and said, "Man is iron and food is steel. Only when you are full can you have the strength to do things."

Zhang Yue taunted, "Stop pretending to be calm here. Shen Wei, you must be panicking. The prince has no feelings for you at all. He has never trusted you."

Shen Wei rolled her eyes and was about to retort when she caught a glimpse of Prince Yan hurrying in from the waterside pavilion.

Shen Wei is waiting for King Yan!

She originally planned to act out a "heartbroken suicide by jumping into the water" play by the waterside to arouse King Yan's guilt.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Yue showed up and tried to commit suicide.

But the problem is not big. If she changes the script, Shen Wei can also perform a good show.

Shen Wei immediately became dramatic. She staggered to her feet, her eyes red as she said, "Even if the prince wants to kill me, I am willing. I come from a humble background, and it is a blessing from heaven that I can be favored by the prince... I can no longer accompany the prince for the rest of my life. After I die, I will turn into a wisp of wind, blowing across the prince's face, and dispelling the summer heat for him."

Such love-minded words made Zhang Yue laugh.

Zhang Yue burst into laughter: "Oh my god, Shen Wei, you actually fell in love with the prince? Everyone in the palace knows that the prince is a heartless man. I advised you not to be his concubine, but you still threw yourself into the fire... Hahaha, now you have thrown yourself into the fire and perished. You deserve it."

Shen Wei's eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great blow, and her tears fell: "The prince misunderstood me, and I have no way to defend myself. After I die, Zhang Yue, you must take good care of the prince."

Zhang Yue rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Of course I will take good care of the prince. I am not like you who only ask for the prince's meager love. What I want is the wealth and honor that the prince will give me. In the future, when I give birth to the prince's child, I will be honored as a mother and live a peaceful life. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can even replace the princess."

Shen Wei was shocked: "How can you use the prince as a tool to make money! The prince is the best man in the world! I won't allow you to treat him like this!"

As she said that, Shen Wei rushed over angrily and wanted to slap Zhang Yue.

But Zhang Yue was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and easily dodged Shen Wei's soft slap.

Zhang Yue raised her hand and said angrily, "You are about to die, and you still dare to attack me. I will beat you to death today."

Zhang Yue used all her strength and slapped him hard.

But before she could touch Shen Wei's face, Zhang Yue was kicked hard into the pond, splashing water.

Fortunately, the pool was not deep. Zhang Yue stood up awkwardly and saw King Yan appear beside the waterside pavilion.

The King of Yan was tall and had long legs. He wore a silver long gown with a jade belt around his waist and a mugwort sachet made by Shen Wei.

His handsome face was full of anger. He held the trembling Shen Wei in his arms and shouted angrily, "Come here, drag this bitch out of the pond and beat her with twenty sticks every day until she dies!"

Zhang Yue's face was pale and he felt cold all over.

Zhang Yue's head was buzzing when she suddenly saw the Prince of Yan. She was dragged out of the pool by the guards in a panic, and she said in fear, "Please spare my life, Your Majesty! Please spare my life, Your Majesty! I know I was wrong!"

Zhang Yue was shrouded in fear of death. He begged for mercy desperately, but to no avail. He could only be dragged out of the Liuli Pavilion like a dead dog.

The cool breeze blew in the early morning, and the white curtains of the waterside pavilion swayed gently.

Shen Wei opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at King Yan who was so close to her in disbelief.

She took two steps back in grievance, tears falling down her cheeks: "Your Majesty, are you here to send me off? A cup of poisoned wine? Or a white silk?"

Her eyes were full of pain and grievance.

Prince Yan felt a pain in his heart.

Just now, when he hurried to Liuli Pavilion, he heard the words of Shen Wei and Zhang Yue from afar. Between the lines of Shen Wei's words, all were full of love for him.

There were many women like Zhang Yue who were obsessed with money and wealth in the palace. But Shen Wei was the only one who wanted the love of King Yan and nothing else.

This precious love was almost let down by him!

King Yan felt guilty and relieved that he did not kill Shen Wei out of anger. He held Shen Wei's hand and said softly, "I misunderstood you. From now on, I will not be easily carried away."

The King of Yan asked Fugui to bring the wooden man. He personally poured kerosene on the wooden man and then set it on fire.

Shen Wei was surprised and rushed forward to put out the fire: "Don't burn it! Don't burn it!"

Prince Yan put his arm around Shen Wei's shoulders and said softly, "This prince is blessed with great fortune, and I don't need Wei Wei to protect me from disasters."

Shen Wei choked up and said, "Last time at the Spring Festival Banquet, an assassin almost stabbed the prince... I thought that I would always protect the prince from disasters in the future, so I secretly carved a wooden man. Prince, this wooden man cannot be burned."

The King of Yan felt even more pity for her.

He is the dignified King Yan of Daqing, who is proficient in both civil and military affairs and has excellent kung fu. Shen Wei wants to protect him from disaster, and King Yan is very touched, but he does not need Shen Wei to take risks.

King Yan smiled and hooked Shen Wei's nose: "I have the protection of the tiger guards I raised, so I am naturally safe. Don't do stupid things in the future."

The flames burned, and the wooden man was soon burned into a piece of charcoal.

Tears welled up in Shen Wei's eyes. She choked and said, "Your Majesty actually questioned my feelings for you... I, I will never talk to Your Majesty again."

She loves Prince Yan (his money) so much!

King Yan actually questioned her love!

She is angry!

Shen Wei ran back to the bedroom in grievance and slammed the door shut. Prince Yan knocked on the door several times, but Shen Wei still did not open the door.

It was obvious that Shen Wei was still angry with him.

Prince Yan was concerned about Shen Wei and wanted to go into the house to be intimate with her and pour out his heart to her.

But the girl refused to open the door. Prince Yan was busy with official duties and it was impossible for him to spend the whole day in the Liuli Pavilion.

Prince Yan planned to visit Shen Wei again in the evening. Before leaving, Prince Yan summoned the maids and eunuchs of Liuli Pavilion and told them: "Take good care of your master."

Rong Mama and the others were extremely terrified and said, "We will obey your order."

Prince Yan left with heavy heart.

Rewards flowed into the Glazed Pavilion like a stream of water. Within a day, everyone in the palace knew that Shen Wei was favored again.

Everyone in the mansion was talking about it.

"Have you heard? Master Shen did not practice witchcraft, but a peace spell."

"The peace spell is a Lingnan magic that can protect the prince from disasters."

"Fortunately, the prince is very perceptive."

"Master Zhang is really stupid. He is now locked up in the woodshed and beaten. He is not allowed to receive medicine. I am afraid he will not last ten days."

"Am I the only one who thinks that Master Shen can always turn danger into safety and his favor reaches a new level?"

"It is said that the prince went to Liuli Pavilion tonight and was met with rebuff again. Master Shen was angry and ignored the prince."

The servants were talking about it.

The news reached the ears of the princess, who was checking the homework of her two sons in the study.

She held the rice paper in her hand and asked doubtfully, "A peace spell?"

Aunt Liu replied, "It is said to be a secret method from Lingnan, which can ward off disasters."

The princess sneered: "This Shen family is very lucky."

The princess thought that Zhang Yue secretly buried a wooden man in Fangfei Garden, and Shen Wei also buried a wooden man in Fangfei Garden.

Later, the wooden figure buried by Shen Wei was dug out by accident, and the King of Yan found out the truth and cleared Shen Wei's name. If it was the wooden figure buried by Zhang Yue that was dug out, Shen Wei would probably have been beheaded by now.

I can only say that Shen Wei is really lucky.

Madam Liu said, "Mrs. Shen was deeply in love with the prince, but after being misunderstood by the prince, she locked herself in her room. The prince went to visit her, but was turned away several times."

The princess almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

How dare a little concubine like you give the King of Yan a cold shoulder? You are digging your own grave!

The Prince of Yan now feels guilty towards Shen Wei, so he is willing to come to visit. If Shen Wei is a smart woman, she should immediately give the Prince of Yan a way out and forgive him.

But Shen Wei is so stupid, she is always rejected by King Yan!

Prince Yan is of noble birth, and he would feel humiliated if he was repeatedly treated coldly by a little concubine. Sooner or later, he would get tired of Shen Wei's ingratitude.

The princess shook her head jokingly and asked Aunt Liu, "Do you know how Liu Ruyan fell out of favor back then?"

Nanny Liu was an old lady in the palace, so she was naturally well-informed. She calmly replied, "Back then, a concubine accused Concubine Liu of poisoning the prince, which led to the prince's misunderstanding of Concubine Liu. After the truth was revealed, the prince knew he was in the wrong and went to visit Concubine Liu. But Concubine Liu didn't want to see the prince, and over time, she fell out of favor."

The Prince of Yan is willing to humble himself and apologize, and a smart woman will give the Prince of Yan a way out.

A stubborn woman will gradually wear out King Yan's patience and cause him to fall out of favor.

The princess said with pity, "That ungrateful Shen is about to follow in Ruyan Liu's footsteps."

Madam Liu echoed, "Don't worry, Princess. When Miss Ye from Jiangnan arrives in Yanjing, there will be no more trouble with the Shen family."
