The voice seemed to come from the horizon, instantly sorting out the messy thoughts in her mind.

Shen Jiayu held the hemp rope tightly. This time she did not use any force and let her body sway with the inertia of the swing.

Wen Xiangzhu in the book has no romantic relationship. If she really wants to complete the second task, she was indeed wrong from the beginning.

She is the biggest variable in this book. Things that were not originally set in the book should be solved by variables.

She also has a third mission - to become Wen Xiangzhu's partner!

As Shen Jiayu's thoughts gradually became clearer, the swing stopped swinging.

Shen Jiayu sat on the swing in a daze. All his previous efforts were in vain and he had to start all over again.

She had come to the Prime Minister's Mansion originally to bring Song Qinghong and Wen Xiangzhu together, and to gather information. Now, staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion would be detrimental to her going home.

I still have to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, return to Wen Xiangzhu, and find an opportunity to get along with him.

But why would Wen Xiangzhu be interested in her?

His martial arts skills are not as strong as Zhao Ji's, his appearance is not as good as Song Qinghong's, and his brain is not very smart either.

The only thing that could attract Wen Xiangzhu might be something that would happen in the future book, but given Wen Xiangzhu's temperament, he would probably cut the tendons of her hands and feet and lock her up in a cell, never letting her out again.

Thinking of such a scene, Shen Jiayu shuddered and shook his head violently.

"No, no, this won't work."

She talked to herself.

A flash of inspiration came to him, and Wen Xiangzhu, who had turned evil in the later period, was still interested in the affairs of the Holy Maiden Kongsang.

If she revealed a little bit about Kongsang, perhaps Wen Xiangzhu would notice her.

After Shen Jiayu figured it out, he got up and went to his room to leave a letter for Song Qinghong. He jumped lightly and wanted to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion from the roof.

Unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed.

Qu Chi, who always liked to stay on the roof, blocked Shen Jiayu's way. He sat on the roof, with his arms clasped across his chest, quietly watching Shen Jiayu flying up.

"Still leaving?"

Shen Jiayu had never spoken to Qu Chi, nor had he ever heard him speak. He felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly heard him ask this question.

But when did he come?

No sound at all, has it been there all the time?

I guess he heard the conversation just now, so he asked this question.

"Ah."

Song Yuanbai naturally knew what Song Qinghong could sense, but the reason why he didn't take her down was probably because there was something she didn't know.

"Stay, you can't leave yet." Qu Chi stood up with his hands hanging by his sides.

Shen Jiayu looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes. There was no expression on Qu Chi's face, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

However, she heard a threat in the other party's words. If she still wanted to leave, Qu Chi would keep her at all costs.

As the saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero.

Shen Jiayu turned around and sat down, "Okay, I won't leave."

There are plenty of opportunities to leave if she wants to, so there is no need to rush. She was just impulsive just now. If she returns to Wen Xiangzhu now, she will probably be punished.

It’s better to find a suitable opportunity to go back.

The corner of Qu Chi's mouth twitched visibly. He thought Shen Jiayu would change his expression after being exposed.

The change may not be big, but at least she has some of the feeling of a professional killer. However, her temperament has not changed at all, and she is still the same as usual.

But I can't fix it for him.

Qu Chi secretly increased his vigilance towards Shen Jiayu and gave her a label.

'This person is not simple.'

Shen Jiayu didn't know that he would think so much. When she sat down, her heart was in turmoil again. Her plans were all messed up and she didn't know what to do next.

The two of them didn't say anything else. One was standing, and the other was sitting, just staying on the roof in a strange manner.

……

In the hall, Prime Minister Song had a sullen face and said nothing.

The Prime Minister's wife carefully read the news coming from the palace. The more she read, the more frightened she became. Just now, Song Yuanbai's face changed drastically after reading the news and he rushed out. She didn't know what it was.

Her husband remained silent, only showing the note to her, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness.

"How could this be..." The Prime Minister's wife moved her lips.

Prime Minister Song stopped being silent, but his face remained gloomy. "I think the news from Concubine Shu is correct. His Majesty has only mentioned it briefly, and has not issued an order yet. There is still room for maneuver."

The Prime Minister's wife placed the note on the table, looked at Prime Minister Song, and whispered, "How can we turn the situation around? His Majesty is probably intending to depose the Crown Prince and choose another candidate for the Crown Prince. This candidate is probably the Third Prince. Is he asking us to express our stance?"

There had been signs that the crown prince was going to be deposed, but Emperor Jing'an had not taken any action. Now he suddenly wanted to arrange a marriage for Song Qinghong, and to marry her to the third prince's aide.

Such strange and unreasonable behavior made them puzzled. After thinking about it, they felt that this was the only reasonable thing to do.

Prime Minister Song suddenly glanced at the Prime Minister's wife and said in a rare cold voice: "Madam, don't talk nonsense. How can you and I guess the emperor's intentions?"

While they were reading the letter, the servants around them were taken away, and now there were only the two of them in the hall.

Just be careful that walls have ears and don't say anything that shouldn't be said.

The Prime Minister's wife was also worried and confused, and she said everything she was thinking. When Prime Minister Song reminded her, she remembered what she had just said and felt a little scared.

"I will find someone to help with this matter. Madam, don't worry. As long as the imperial edict has not been issued, there is still a chance." Prime Minister Song continued.

"Father is right! Mother, don't worry. I have an idea that may be useful."

Song Yuanbai walked in from outside with a confident smile on his face.

"What idea?" After hearing this, the Prime Minister's wife stood up anxiously and walked to Song Yuanbai and asked.

Prime Minister Song stared at him intently, and his expression seemed to have guessed what he was going to say.

Song Yuanbai suddenly came up with this idea on the way here. It's not a good idea, but it's somewhat useful, he said slowly.

"My aunt's letter only said that His Majesty intended to let the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion marry the Third Prince's staff member, but did not directly mention Qing'er's name. Why don't we find a girl to adopt as our daughter? Naturally, she will be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although it would be unfair to Qing'er, she would no longer be the only daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. But if His Majesty really grants her marriage, it would not be considered as deceiving the emperor."

Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought, Prime Minister Song thought secretly in his heart.

The Prime Minister's wife thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. Her heart, which had been beating wildly due to anxiety, slowly calmed down.

"Just do as you say. Find a reliable girl in your house today." Prime Minister Song said.

Song Yuanbai nodded, he had already thought of the candidate.
