Shen Shuyi turned to look at him, a mist in her eyes.

Emperor Qianwu suddenly laughed, and as he laughed, he coughed softly, "Hahahaha! You really are still the same as before."

Xie Jingchi's eyes were deep as he stood there, looking directly at Emperor Qianwu.

The aura surrounding Emperor Qianwu suddenly relaxed, and he slowly stepped forward and said, "You really do look a lot like me when I was young."

Shen Shuyi's mind raced. What did Emperor Qianwu mean by this?

Could it be that... the pill just now was a test?

Emperor Qianwu stepped forward with his hands behind his back, a trace of sorrow in his eyes. "Don't blame me for being cruel. I just want to know if you are still the same son as before."

In one word, endless sorrow was poured out.

Emperor Qianwu waved his hand and said, "Back off."

Shen Shuyi didn't figure out Emperor Qianwu's thoughts until she left, but as soon as she got on the carriage, she couldn't wait to say, "Hurry and stretch out your hand."

She carefully took Xie Jingchi's pulse and didn't seem to notice anything wrong.

But even though he took such a big pill, Shen Shuyi was still worried.

"What's wrong with you? Can you take the medicine as you say? What if it is really poisonous?" Shen Shuyi was a little annoyed. When he thought of the scene when he challenged Emperor Qianwu, he felt a little scared.

"After all, I was also controlled by the poisonous insects before. Now it's not much different if it's poisoned." Xie Jingchi held her in his arms.

"Besides, you don't understand my father." Xie Jingchi's eyes were deep.

Shen Shuyi sighed: "I'll go find Mr. Liancheng later, but you're right, I really don't understand your father."

Xie Jingchi said quietly, "He is a man who values friendship and loyalty, but it is also because of his straightforwardness and ability that he was dragged into the struggle for the throne."

But because of this, he encountered countless calculations in his life.

The schemes of the man beside him, the betrayal of his friends, the misunderstanding of his brother, the coincidences with his lover, and even the schemes of his son in the end.

He had received the wholehearted protection of the Queen Mother and the late Second Prince, but he had also been schemed against by Concubine Rou, Xiao Yuncheng and others.

So until now, he is uncontrollably suspicious and jealous, but at the same time, he is loyal and straightforward because of his childhood.

"So what? You can't gamble with your life." Shen Shuyi frowned, his eyes slightly cold.

Xie Jingchi rested his chin on her shoulder and covered her lower abdomen with his big hand.

"If I don't end up in that position, will you regret marrying me?" Xie Jingchi asked softly.

"No, marrying you is the best decision I have ever made in my life. Thank you for loving me." Shen Shuyi leaned on him and spoke softly.

In the past three years, he has proved everything with his actions.

"I still have to talk to Tong Guan later. I don't think Wang Xi knows many things very well." Shen Shuyi said softly.

Of course they also want to fight for that position.

You can't really let Xiao Tingshan take the position, as it would be like hanging a knife over your head every day. Besides, who wouldn't like power?

If they can go, they will go. It’s not like they don’t have the ability to do so.

Not long after, Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi went to see Mr. Liancheng together. Liancheng had just finished his rest, but he didn't expect that the two of them would come again in the blink of an eye.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the doll?" Liancheng's eyes were full of concern.

It seemed that over the past few years, he had already treated Shen Shuyi as his own daughter.

"No, it's because after I entered the palace, His Majesty gave me some medicine, but Xie Jingchi took it. I'm worried..."

As soon as Shen Shuyi finished speaking, Liancheng frowned and repeatedly took Xie Jingchi's pulse.

After a while, Liancheng said slowly: "It doesn't seem like a poison, but rather like a medicine that nourishes the body and strengthens the body."

"Are you sure?" Shen Shuyi couldn't help but ask.

Liancheng nodded: "It should be correct."

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Emperor Qianwu had become more suspicious, at least he was still somewhat sincere towards Xie Jingchi and himself.

Shen Shuyi met with Jiang Li, asked about the situation in the capital, and then asked her to find time to communicate with Tong Guan, preferably in person.

Tong Guan’s name is now well-known, but his whereabouts are becoming more and more mysterious.

Shen Shuyi did not meet Tong Guan when he entered the palace this time.

"Miss, don't worry. Commander Tong is very busy these days, and everyone who sees him will be afraid of him." Shen Shuyi nodded. What she was most worried about was whether Xiao Tingshan would find out that Tong Guan was her man.

However, what she did back then was a secret, and Xiao Tingshan had no one to use at the time, and was also disliked by Emperor Qianwu, so it might not be possible to find out clearly.

That day, in the evening.

Shen Shuyi was sorting out the information Jiang Li had given her when Qin Xin knocked on the door and came in: "Miss, Tong Guan wants to see you."

"Please." Shen Shuyi looked up.

Not long after, Tong Guan and Tong Xuan appeared in front of Shen Shuyi. Shen Shuyi stood up immediately, feeling more happy to see old friends.

"Princess!" Tong Guan spoke in a deep voice, his expression showing no abnormality. However, Tong Xuan's eyes were red, but now she looked much calmer than before.

"Please sit down." Shen Shuyi said as he looked at the two of them.

Tong Guan was still serious and stern, and compared to the dull look he had before, there was more of a frightening gloom and murderous aura in his eyes. His eyes were not beautiful, but when he stared at you, you couldn't help but feel uneasy as if a thorn in your back was attached. He really fit the image of someone who was feared by everyone.

As for Tong Xuan, it is said that she has now become a second-class maid beside Concubine Duan. Although her position is not high, she can already find out a lot of information.

"How has the princess been doing in Liangzhou these years?" Tong Guan asked in a deep voice, also looking at Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "I'm fine, and you guys look good too."

Seeing Shen Shuyi say this, Tong Guan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Time was short, and Tong Guan couldn't stay in the Xie Mansion for too long, so he picked out the most important things to say: "After the young lady left, the Sixth Prince suddenly won over a group of court officials. According to the eldest son, half of them were controlled by the Gu insects of the Li clan."

After his investigation, he found that Xiao Tingshan still had two experts in using Gu under his command.

In addition, Xiao Tingshan spent a lot of money to bribe many people, and somehow, he also got hold of many people's handles and forced them to be tied to the same boat with him.

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi sneered.

In any case, Xiao Tingshan had been the crown prince for at least two years in his previous life, and he had recruited and promoted many people. It was normal for him to know some people's secrets and secrets.

Even Shen Shuyi once suspected that he was involved in many things, and even designed the seduction.

"Not only that, the Sixth Prince also promoted a group of students and scholars who did not enter officialdom. However, many of these people were snatched away by the eldest son. But the strange thing is that after these people took part in the imperial examinations, they all ranked very well and were highly appreciated by His Majesty." Tong Guan was puzzled.

This thing is like betting, but if you bet and everything goes right, that would be too strange.

Shen Shuyi said calmly, "I had anticipated this before."

She also tried to write a list of names for her brother as much as possible, but her brother had just entered the officialdom and could only make friends with these people as a close friend.

But Xiao Tingshan naturally occupies the identity of the sixth prince and has the upper hand. If he is interested in pursuing fame and fortune, he will naturally be more willing to work for him.
