Shen Jiayu hasn't been out for a long time. Every day he stays in the house with Song Qinghong, eating and drinking, and gets up late at night to practice martial arts.

For fear of being discovered, she only dared to practice some basic martial arts. Any noise she made would attract the people who were watching her day and night.

Song Yuanbai has always been worried about her. No matter what Shen Jiayu is doing, there is always someone in the dark staring at her.

This time when she went out, she felt a rare sense of freedom.

There was a feeling that she could live freely once she left the city, but unfortunately she couldn't do that, it was just a thought.

If you run away, you will never be able to return home.

The carriage slowly stopped. Shen Jiayu went out first, holding Song Qinghong's hand and leading her down.

Qi Binwei and Chao Yan had just arrived. Chao Yan was a cheerful person. As soon as she stuck her head out, she looked around. When she saw Shen Jiayu and Song Qinghong, she immediately shook off Qi Binwei who was trying to hold her hand.

"Jia Yu! Miss Song! I'm here!" She trotted and shouted loudly.

Qi Binwei followed behind, worried that Chaoyan would fall if she ran too fast, and kept an eye on her movements.

Song Qinghong and Shen Jiayu also walked quickly. Chao Yan was the fifth emperor's concubine. No matter what, they should go over and pay their respects first.

"Concubine Chao, please watch your step." Song Qinghong and Chao Yan were not that familiar with each other, so she still followed the etiquette.

Shen Jiayu naturally followed the etiquette. There were more than just a few of them here. Even if only Chao Yan and Song Qinghong were here, she still had to do her duty as a servant.

"The Fifth Prince is doing well, and the Concubine is doing well." Shen Jiayu bowed respectfully.

She didn’t know if it was her illusion or the truth, but she felt that Qi Binwei’s hostility towards her was not as strong as before.

Although Chaoyan didn't like these etiquettes, this was the etiquette of the Yunli Kingdom. She was now Qi Binwei's concubine, so she had to be careful in her daily life. She bent down slightly and helped Shen Jiayu up.

"No need to be polite, we are the only ones here, just have fun! Miss Song, you and Qi Binwei have known each other since childhood, I will take Shen Jiayu out to play first, you two can chat for a while."

Seeing that Chaoyan was not worried at all and heartlessly dragged Song Qinghong's maid away, Qi Binwei laughed out of anger.

She really just wanted to meet Song Qinghong's maid.

What kind of magic does Shen Jiayu have that makes Chao Yan miss him so much?

A maid who couldn't be more ordinary.

"Look how much fun they are having. Is Your Highness having an okay time today?" Song Qinghong had already let go of Qi Binwei. After their many years of friendship and the rumors she had heard before, she couldn't help but still feel a little worried.

Qi Binwei was a little stunned when he heard her first words were about concern for him. He withdrew his gaze from Zhao Yan and turned to look at Song Qinghong, "You... I'm fine, how about you?"

He had a lot of questions to ask. Song Qinghong was a good girl, but he just didn't like her. He had already met the right person, and since he couldn't be with other women, he would just give up on Song Qinghong. This would be good for everyone.

But Song Qinghong will be deeply hurt.

Song Qinghong chuckled, "Oh, what can I do?"

She seemed more relaxed.

In this way, Qi Binwei felt better. At this moment, Song Qinghong suddenly felt that it was nothing.

The two smiled at each other, let go of the past, and were completely relieved.

In Kyoto, Gongsun Rou received a message from Qi Rui, and Chao Yan went out of the house to play on the canal.

After she said those words to Qi Rui, she never succeeded in getting close to Chao Yan. She was very frustrated, but she would never give up.

The news released these days seemed to have no effect, but it was actually very effective. At least the person she wanted to know the news had already known it and was going crazy.

Unfortunately, it was suppressed by the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

"He Congshuang, you must be very anxious now, you can't wait to rush out of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, find Song Qinghong and tear her into pieces. Don't worry, I'll come to help you right away." Gongsun Rou, wearing a pink dress, raised a strange smile in the room.

He picked up a pen and wrote a letter, and asked someone to deliver it to the Third Prince's palace.

Soon, Qi Rui took action. A carriage was dispatched from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Now there were only servants and He Congshuang who was locked in the room left in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

The last time He Congshuang caused trouble, Duke Dingguo suppressed it. Fortunately, Song Qinghong did not tell Prime Minister Song, otherwise Duke Dingguo would not have been able to suppress it.

In order to prevent He Congshuang from causing trouble, she was locked in the room that day and asked to reflect on her mistakes for three months.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that He Congshuang treated her servants harshly, and there were many servants who hated He Congshuang. Gongsun Rou often went in and out of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, and she was almost like a family with these servants.

There is no need to bribe them. Just say a few words and these servants will know that it will make He Congshuang uncomfortable, so they will naturally go to He Congshuang's door and pretend to chat with her casually.

After a while, He Congshuang, who never left the house, heard some news.

News about Song Qinghong and the third prince.

It was just that the truth had been exaggerated by Gongsun Rou, and the servants only heard half of it and forgot the other half, so when they spoke it again, the meaning of the words had changed.

But they don't care whether it is true or false. Even if it is false, as long as it can irritate He Congshuang and make her unhappy, that's good.

The last thing He Congshuang heard was that the Third Prince Qi Rui was interested in her cousin and had already asked for permission from the emperor. The emperor's approval of the marriage was a match made in heaven.

Now they are a loving couple and often go out together, but she is now the biggest joke in Kyoto.

Taking this opportunity, the servants brought up He Congshuang's embarrassing incident, saying that the news had spread outside and that He Congshuang had been captured by the guard and was no longer a virgin.

How could He Congshuang not go crazy while being imprisoned? She kept the words she heard from these servants every day in her heart. When she opened her eyes, she saw these words, and when she closed her eyes, she saw Song Qinghong's hypocritical face, which made her unable to sleep day and night.

She couldn't bear being trapped in this room like a mouse while Song Qinghong was enjoying a successful life outside and even married the man she loved most.

That seat should have been hers, so why did Song Qinghong sit there in the end?

The resentment and hatred in He Congshuang's heart piled up as high as a mountain, pressing her to the point where she couldn't breathe. She had to get out and couldn't stay here any longer.

"Hey, have you heard? The Third Princess went to the canal with the Third Prince today. I heard it was just the two of them. How loving!"

"Don't speak so loudly, it's not good if the lady hears it."

"Hahaha, why worry about it? The lady is taking a nap at this time. It's okay to talk about some gossip."

"That's right, you know what, I really envy the Third Imperial Concubine. She married her cousin. Who will dare to bully her in the future?"

"..."

People outside the house were talking about how loving Song Qinghong and Qi Rui were. He Congshuang, who couldn't sleep inside the house, was so angry that her teeth were itching.

He stood in front of the door like a ghost, staring at the figures outside who were chatting happily.
