The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

Seeing that the queen looked anxious, Gu Ruxiao immediately patted her hands and spoke to her in a low voice to comfort her.

"Mother, my brother has his own plans. I think there is something else going on here."

The queen gnashed her teeth in anger, "What kind of hidden truth could there be? It was that little bitch who deliberately framed me..."

"Mother, be careful with your words. If you get angry, not only will it make people laugh at you, but it will also make the matter even worse."

As he said this, he signaled Gu Chenan with his eyes.

The queen took a quick look and saw that Gu Chenan looked determined to win, which made her even angrier.

Gu Ruxiao felt that he might not be suitable to persuade others.

At the banquet, the atmosphere became increasingly depressing, and everyone was quietly waiting for the people from the Dali Temple to return.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been terrified and kneeled down to plead for justice.

But after Gu Beihuai and Shen Qingyan finished their performance, they sat quietly in their seats and waited.

That calm and composed look made Gu Chenan feel a little uneasy.

He couldn't quite tell whether Shen Qingyan was acting for Gu Beihuai or for himself.

As family disgrace should not be made public, Gu Tianyan asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange for an envoy to go to the side hall to start the banquet first. However, Helan Huayin refused to leave and insisted on waiting for the follow-up.

She thought about it and realized that if Shen Shiyu really colluded with Shouyue Kingdom, he would definitely be punished by Gu Tianyan. Then she would save him from the dire situation. Once he was moved, wouldn't he be willing to marry her?

In short, everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony has his own thoughts, but there are not many good people.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the people from Dali Temple had not returned yet.

Gu Chenan couldn't sit still anymore.

He kept looking at Shen Qingyan and asking questions, but Shen Qingyan only had eyes for Gu Beihuai and ignored him at all.

Shen Qingyan quietly squeezed Gu Beihuai's hand and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"My Lord, I'm hungry."

Gu Beihuai calmly moved a plate of cakes towards her.

"Your Highness, hey." Shen Qingyan continued to squeeze his hand.

Gu Beihuai's expression suddenly became deep, "Are you sure?"

"determine."

Gu Beihuai picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and handed it to her lips.

Shen Qingyan bit down, and her soft lips accidentally brushed against Gu Beihuai's fingertips.

Gu Beihuai curled up his fingers subconsciously, and his heart was somewhat out of control at this moment.

Shen Qingyan didn't notice it and chewed each bite with great satisfaction.

"What the prince feeds is delicious."

There were some pastry crumbs on her lips, and Gu Beihuai raised his hand, wanting to wipe them off for her.

However, at this moment, a light cough was heard from above.

The queen's chest heaved with anger and she glared at Shen Qingyan fiercely.

You little bitch, it’s already this time and you’re still seducing Bei Huai like this!

Shen Qingyan met the Queen's gaze, blinked, and moved closer to Gu Beihuai.

In her previous life, the queen targeted her in every way, making it seem like she had snatched her son away. In this life, she doesn't want to follow the rules, she just wants to be sweet and happy.

Many people were hurt by the love between Shen Qingyan and Gu Beihuai, and the Queen was just one of them.

Helan Huayin's face was full of jealousy and unwillingness, while Gu Chenan's expression was gloomy and he felt more and more uneasy.

Finally, after everyone's anticipation and anxious waiting, the Dali Temple Chief brought his men back.

Shen Qingyan licked her lips quickly and tidied her appearance, as she was going to take the initiative soon.

Pei Zheng, the Minister of Dali Temple, had just taken office. He was upright, cautious and did not take sides, so it was most appropriate for him to come forward to investigate.

He just looked around, his eyes swept across Gu Beihuai and Gu Chenan's faces one by one, but his expression could not reveal anything.

"Your Majesty, according to my humble investigation..."

Pei Zheng was a man who knew how to keep people in suspense, so he paused intentionally.

Everyone's heart was in their throat, especially Gu Chenan, who showed a determined smile.

"There are indeed a lot of letters in Prince Huai's study."

what?

Shen Qingyan's five fingers immediately tightened and tightly grasped the corner of Gu Beihuai's clothes.

A smug look flashed across Gu Chenan's eyes, and he pretended to plead for Gu Beihuai.

"Father, I believe that my brother is not that kind of person. This must be a misunderstanding. Why don't you read the contents of the letter before making any judgment?"

Open it, this is the only way to completely defeat Gu Beihuai.

Shen Qingyan was breathing rapidly and was a little nervous.

What happened? She clearly burned the letter!

I turned to look at Gu Beihuai, and saw that he looked normal. Somehow, I suddenly felt relieved.

Gu Tianyan's face was so pale that he suppressed his anger and shouted coldly, "Open it!"

Pei Zheng immediately opened them one by one and presented them with both hands.

However, when Gu Tianyan took a glance, his expression became strange.

Gu Chen'an was still fanning the flames, "Father, even if the emperor's brother really had correspondence with the Shouyue Kingdom, it might not be collusion. Maybe he was just thinking about the affairs of the family and the country. I believe he would not do anything out of line."

He looked like he was trying to comfort her sincerely, and he also showed the attitude of an elder brother who was willing to sacrifice himself to protect his younger brother.

"If my brother has done something out of line, I am willing to take the punishment on his behalf..."

If it were Shen Qingyan in her previous life, she would have been fascinated by his selfless appearance.

Pei Zheng couldn't stand it anymore and said respectfully.

"Your Highness, this matter is not what you think."

Before coming, he had already opened and read those letters. If Gu Beihuai really colluded with Shouyue Kingdom, that would be weird.

As he spoke, Gu Tianyan had already read all the letters. He slowly turned his gaze to Gu Beihuai, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

Gu Beihuai looked calm, as if he had expected this.

"Bei Huai, I hope you won't be too focused on love affairs in the future. As my son, you should make achievements in government affairs."

Gu Beihuai immediately responded respectfully, "Father, your Majesty has taught me this, and I will remember it."

Not only was Shen Qingyan confused, but even Gu Chenan was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

what happened?

Isn't it a letter of collusion with the Shouyue Kingdom?

Not to mention the others, they were all confused.

Pei Zheng then respectfully returned the letter to Gu Beihuai.

Shen Qingyan was really curious and wanted to take a look, but it was taken away by Gu Beihuai.

What was in the letter? She wanted to know what the emperor meant by not letting him focus on his romantic relationship.

Gu Chenan's face turned red like liver, with blue and red mixed together, looking very ugly.

The Queen and Gu Ruxiao both breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as it wasn't a letter of collusion with other countries, it was good.

At this time, Shen Qingyan suddenly stood up and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, since this matter is a misunderstanding, we must be fair and just."

Gu Tianyan frowned. Although he was a little upset, he still patiently asked for the sake of the jade ring: "What's wrong?"

"I think that since we have investigated the prince, we might as well investigate other princes as well, so as to avoid being criticized and thought that the emperor is partial."

Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately agreed, "Yes, Yan'er is right. If we only investigate Beihuai, wouldn't that be unfair?"

After saying that, he glared at Shen Qingyan and said, "Little bitch, it seems you are still useful."

Shen Qingyan raised her eyebrows and glared back.

The queen choked instantly and was angry again.

Gu Tianyan also knew that today's incident was too targeted, and he waved his hand when he heard it.

"Check. Check everything."
