Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

At nightfall, the group finally arrived at the palace.

The room assigned to Shen Shuyi and Xie Jingchi was quite nice. There was a natural hot spring in the room, which was emitting misty hot steam and was indescribably comfortable.

Shen Shuyi soaked in the pool, silently counting the time.

Judging from what Zhiqi revealed, Emperor Qianwu will stay in the palace for at least half a month. When will Xiao Tingshan choose to take action?

However, whether or not to fight will not have much impact on Shen Shuyi.

After all, it was not her turn to lead people to attack Emperor Qianwu to protect him.

Shen Shuyi settled down peacefully until the fifth day, when she was strolling in the courtyard when Jinzhu hurried in and said, "Madam, the Sixth Prince's wife wants to invite you to reminisce about the past. She said she has something important to tell you."

Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes: "Shen Jingyu? Reminiscing about the past?"

"You turned it down for me, saying that I'm pregnant and it's not convenient."

Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold as she wondered whether Shen Jingyu really had something to tell her, or whether Xiao Tingshan wanted to trick her over and use her as a hostage to threaten Xie Jingchi?

But he shouldn't be stupid enough to let Shen Jingyu come.

Shen Shuyi sat under the tree, drinking fruit tea and thinking.

She knew that Xiao Tingshan didn't know that they had deliberately let him know Xie Jingchi's identity, so he thought he had the upper hand, and therefore, he didn't think she would be overly defensive.

What's more, Shen Jingyu summoned her as the Sixth Prince's consort, so she had no reason to refuse.

After Jinzhu went back to report, she returned a short while later and said, "Miss, Baoqin said their young lady really has something important to attend to. If you don't want to go, she can come and see you. I just don't know if it's convenient for you."

"Come to my house?" Shen Shuyi seemed to be thinking about something. Could it be that Shen Jingyu really had something to say to her?

"Please ask her to come over."

Half an hour later, Shen Jingyu hurried over. When she saw Shen Shuyi, she smiled and said, "It's been many years since we last met. Princess, are you all right?"

"Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, sister." Shen Shuyi curled her lips.

Shen Jingyu seemed very happy to hear her say this. After dismissing everyone, she looked at Shen Shuyi and whispered, "Second sister, to be honest, I came to see you today because I have something important to tell you."

"Just say it, sister." Shen Shuyi looked calm.

Shen Jingyu struggled for a moment, then looked directly at Shen Shuyi and said, "I said yes, but I hope that after the incident, my second sister can save my life."

Shen Shuyi curled her lips and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? You are now the Sixth Prince's consort. Who can easily take your life?"

Shen Jingyu seemed to be hesitant to speak, her expression solemn, her eyes red, as if she had some unspeakable difficulties.

"Sister, you tell me. I can only promise to try my best." Shen Shuyi spoke again. He was really curious about what Shen Jingyu was up to.

Shen Jingyu nodded slightly, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Shen Shuyi and whispered, "The Sixth Prince wants to rebel."

Shen Shuyi acted surprised and stared at her.

"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If he's not crazy, he shouldn't be so arrogant."

Shen Jingyu shook her head and whispered, "He was very worried a few days ago. Not only did he gather his staff, he also insisted on celebrating my birthday."

At this point, Shen Jingyu laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's ridiculous. I've been married to him for several years, and he's never organized a birthday for me. Why is he making such a big fuss this year?"

Shen Shuyi didn't say anything. She naturally knew about this matter, and of course, she also knew Xiao Tingshan's purpose.

Shen Jingyu looked dejected and continued, "Not only that, he also secretly sent people to send Mingyu and Mingjin out of the capital, saying that they were going to the manor to play for a few days. But when I secretly sent people to check, they were not there at all."

"Later, I sent people to keep an eye on Tieying, Songren and Songbai. I was outside the study and heard him discussing the deployment of troops and studying the defense of the capital and the garrison of the imperial palace." Shen Jingyu spoke again.

Shen Shuyi frowned, as if thinking about something, and did not rush to speak.

Shen Jingyu grabbed her hand in panic, with a trembling voice: "He can't win, but I don't want to die with him. I don't want to fight anymore. I just want to live a good life now."

When she said this, Shen Jingyu's tears welled up and she looked flustered and irritable.

"But you know, this will cost you your life." Shen Jingyu murmured softly.

"If what you said is true, you will indeed lose your head." Shen Shuyi thought thoughtfully.

"Today, Xiao Tingshan asked me to send someone to invite you to the inner courtyard, intending to poison you in order to force you to be a hostage and threaten Xie Jingchi. But I really don't understand what's the point of threatening Xie Jingchi? Xie Jingchi is a civil official, and he has no one to rely on. Can anyone stop him from starting a rebellion?" Shen Jingyu frowned.

Shen Shuyi said nothing, but just observed her expression calmly.

Shen Jingyu retracted her thoughts and continued, "But I know that he hates you to the core. He tricked you into going there this time, perhaps out of revenge."

"Second sister, I have no power and influence now, my words are not taken seriously, and my life and property all depend on Xiao Tingshan, but I really don't want to die. No matter what the end is, you must save my life!" Shen Jingyu held Shen Shuyi's hand, her voice choked with sobs.

Shen Shuyi looked at her and said, "But if Xiao Tingshan can accomplish this, wouldn't Sister be able to get everything she once dreamed of?"

Shen Jingyu laughed self-deprecatingly: "Everything you've always dreamed of? To Xiao Tingshan, I'm nothing but a disgrace. Do you think he'll still keep me even if that day comes?"

"It's all just a matter of death, so I might as well fight for a way to survive."

Shen Shuyi frowned and said, "I can only try my best to have Xie Jingchi secretly report this to His Majesty. As for whether His Majesty will believe it, that is unknown..."

"Thank you, second sister." Shen Jingyu looked happy.

"But sister, do you know when the Sixth Prince plans to start the rebellion?" Shen Shuyi asked.

"I heard they chose the evening of September 16th."

Shen Shuyi nodded and said calmly: "Okay, I understand. Sister, you must be more careful when you go back and don't let him get suspicious."

Shen Jingyu stood up, glanced at Shen Shuyi who was in a leisurely posture, retracted her gaze, turned around and left.

After taking a few steps, as if remembering something, she turned back and said to Shen Shuyi, "Today's matter has not been accomplished. Maybe he will try to trick you away again. You must be more careful."

"Okay." Shen Shuyi responded, looking like he didn't take it too seriously.

Shen Jingyu turned and left with an unclear expression.

As soon as she left, several maids came over. Jin Zhu frowned and said, "Miss, is Shen Jingyu really here to remind you out of kindness?"

Yu Ping frowned: "She's not being kind, she's trying to find a way out for herself."

Qin Xin nodded: "It is true that Xiao Tingshan has bad intentions, but can Shen Jingyu's words be trusted?"

Jianpo counted the days on his fingers: "September 16th, there are still ten days left, enough time for him to prepare."
