Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

She walked back in great anger.

Shen Zhishu came back from outside, sweating all over. He had just taken a shower and changed his clothes. He hadn't had time to take care of his hair yet and was only wearing a thin undershirt.

Then Yan Chu walked in with a dark face.

"Why did the prince come back so early?"

Her long wet hair soaked her dress, and the air was filled with a faint scent of roses.

There is no need to describe how beautiful Shen Zhishu is just after taking a bath. One can tell just by looking at Yan Chu's expression.

He didn't say a word in response.

He strode forward, hugged her, and ran straight behind the screen.

Unlike his usual gentleness and affection, he held her hands with incredible force, as if he was venting his anger.

Shen Zhishu cried in pain. Her nails accidentally scratched his back and sank into his flesh, but he seemed unaware of the pain.

Half an hour later.

Yan Chu poured water and bathed here.

Shen Zhishu was serving her personally. It was obviously a very charming scene, but the atmosphere was weird because Yan Chu had a gloomy face the whole time and looked very dull.

Even though he doesn't smile much on normal days, it would never be like this.

Her intuition told her that he was probably very angry in the palace.

I just don’t know if Su Rong annoyed him, or if the Queen didn’t let him meet Su Rong at all.

Since the situation was unclear, she did more work and talked less.

With nothing else to do, she stood behind him and gave him a massage.

Yan Chu remained silent until they finished washing and had dinner at the same table.

"The day after tomorrow is the day to go to the Zhao residence to propose marriage. You can check the betrothal gifts in the next two days, and then we will go together."

He tried his best to control his emotions and sounded calm, but extremely cold.

Shen Zhishu was a little surprised. So many things had happened, but he didn't expect that he still remembered them clearly.

"I have made all the preparations. We can go to the Zhao residence the day after tomorrow morning."

"There is also the house I bought for Li Yan. He has no father or mother. I am his sworn brother now, so I should take care of him more..."

"Yes, I will send people to renovate Li's house. Before Arui gets married, we should buy some servants. He has already won a great reputation and is just waiting for an appointment by the court. With his talent and knowledge, he will surely achieve something, so his family cannot be too shabby..."

Shen Zhishu responded to his words and expressed his thoughts.

That was her best friend marrying Li Yan, so of course she had to consider everything and give her respect.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

Yan Chu was very satisfied with what he heard.

Seeing that he was still in a low mood, Shen Zhishu hesitated for a long time before speaking carefully.

"Now there is a new female member in the palace. Although she is a concubine, she was married by His Majesty, and her father also holds a high position in the court, so should we also raise some of the rules and treatment for her?"

The next rank above a concubine is a side concubine.

Although Concubine Liu had a large dowry and didn't care about this small amount, it still symbolized her identity and status.

"You are the one who is in charge of the palace now. You don't have to ask me about everything."

Yan Chu frowned slightly, but his tone remained calm.

"But if I take charge now, in the future, Princess..."

"From now on, the palace will be in your hands. Even if she comes back, you don't have to return her."

Yan Chu interrupted Shen Zhishu before he could finish his words.

Now she understood.

It turned out that he had a conflict with Su Rong again.

Now that Su Rong's official position has been taken away, even if she leaves the palace, what's the difference between her and the women in the inner palace?

If she doesn't even have the power of a mistress of the house, then wouldn't her title as Princess of Qin be of little use to her?

How angry is Yan Chu at this moment to say such a thing?

"Your Majesty, I wonder what you are going to do with the little prince named Gou Wa in the cold palace?"

They were arguing, and Shen Zhishu made no comment.

She didn't dare say anything at this moment. If Yan Chu and Su Rong reconciled in the future, she was afraid that they would be jealous of her for talking nonsense today.

So it’s better to remain silent at this time.

It’s not convenient to talk about emotional matters, so let’s talk about business.

Now that we have the statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, there must be a female doctor by her side, for safety.

So we have to deal with Gou Wa and Fang Yin’s matters as soon as possible.

"His identity is difficult to verify. If he is really my father's child, it is not convenient for me to keep him by my side."

Yan Chu didn't expect her to bring up this matter suddenly, so he was stunned for a while.

After hearing what he said, Shen Zhishu decided not to interfere.

Come to think of it, if he were a little prince, he would be of no use to him and might even be a hot potato.

"It is precisely because his identity is difficult to verify that I have been investigating privately. It was on the night of my mother's birthday banquet that I found out Gou Wa's identity. In fact... it is not as simple as the prince thinks."

"Is there something else hidden?"

Shen Zhishu nodded with a serious expression.

"I'm afraid your Highness won't believe it, but I can confirm that this is the truth. Gou Wa is not the emperor's child. His biological father is the current King Shuo."

She spoke each word, trying to remain calm and speak clearly.

Yan Chu's expression changed from indifference at first to surprise when he heard the last two words.

"Your Majesty, do you not believe it?"

He just stared at Shen Zhishu like that for a long time.

Shen Zhishu smiled calmly, openly and honestly, as if he was not afraid of being suspected at all.

"How can such a thing be a joke?"

Yan Chu did not give a direct answer, but his tone was extremely serious, and even exuded a hint of pressure, as if he was threatening Shen Zhishu.

"If it hadn't been confirmed, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense about such a thing."

But she wasn't lying, so what was there to be afraid of?

Her answer remained firm.

Yan Chu's expression also changed subtly.

It seemed as if all the sadness caused by Su Rong just now had dissipated at this moment.

"If it is true, then what qualifications does King Shuo have to fight for it?"

The huge rock pressing on my heart loosened at this moment.

Previous worries vanished in an instant.

At that moment he even felt that he didn't need to do anything, and he would be the final winner.

"If I can find out, so can others. If King Shuo learns about this first, in order to protect his position, he may destroy the evidence and make Gou Wa disappear forever."

"Then what do you mean?"

"There is a very capable female doctor beside Gou Wa, and I like her very much. I would like to ask Your Majesty to help me get that female doctor and Gou Wa out of the palace quietly."

This is great news for Yan Chu.

And she is the hero of this matter.

It’s not too much to ask for such a small request, right?

"You want to stay around?"

Yan Chu was not angry, but looked at her with gentle eyes.

"Isn't it great to keep the most advantageous chess piece that can defeat the enemy by your side so that you can decide the life or death of the enemy at any time?"

Shen Zhishu also admitted it generously.

She just smiled sweetly with a cunning look in her eyes, as if she was planning something openly.

Yan Chu was distracted again.

I feel from the bottom of my heart that she is actually quite smart.
