The voice had the deep and rich sound unique to men, and was very pleasant to hear, except that it was a little more panting.

Shen Qingge was stunned and his body stopped uncontrollably.

She looked up and found that the sound came from a side hall, where a faint light could be seen.

As if possessed by a ghost, Shen Qingge approached the side hall and looked inside through the window.

A small row of candles were still lit in the bedroom, allowing her to see the scene inside the room clearly.

It was an extremely luxurious chamber, with sandalwood beams and gold pillars. A six-foot-wide agarwood bed was draped with a silk curtain embroidered with crabapple flowers embroidered with pearls and silver thread. It was even more luxurious than her new room.

"My Lord, I am in pain..."

"How come you still can't stand it after so long? Then, be gentler!"

“Hmm…Hmm…”

Then, there was the sound of the bed shaking.

The curtains beside the bed were drawn, making it difficult to see what was going on inside. I could only vaguely make out two figures entangled together...

Seeing this scene, the inexperienced Shen Qingge immediately looked away, her face flushed, and she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.

She knew that the person in the tent must be King Qin Xiao Mo, but she couldn't identify the woman next to him.

But what does this have to do with her?

Love fades, but hatred grows stronger. This kind of person is not worth it!

Thinking of this, Shen Qingge turned around resolutely and prepared to leave.

However, the words that came out of the room next made her unable to remain calm anymore.

After a few satisfied noises, the woman said, "Your Highness, the Marquis Xuanping is dead, and you have taken the Zhenbei Army into your possession. Now, what do you plan to do with the remaining family members?"

"Don't worry about that. I've already made the arrangements. Tomorrow morning, the decree for confiscation of property and exile will arrive at the Marquis' Mansion."

"Oh... just confiscation of property and exile? When did Your Highness become so soft-hearted? I know that the second son of the Marquis of Xuanping has a son who is old enough to remember things. Your Highness, aren't you afraid that if the truth is revealed, Shen Xiaolin's former subordinates, supporting the bloodline of the Marquisate, will come back and seek revenge on you?"

"The beauty has indeed thought of everything, she is indeed worthy of being my king's femme fatale!"

"Hmph..." a burst of coquettish words.

"Of course, I have a backup plan. The road to Lingnan is not easy. I might eat the wrong thing and run into bandits, thugs, wolves, tigers, or leopards, and die on the way. What do you think, my beauty?"

"Haha... Your Highness is very wise! But what about the woman in your new chamber? You are so mean. On the wedding night, you let her stay alone in the empty room. How pitiful! Tsk tsk tsk..."

"So you mean you want me to go over and accompany her?"

"Go ahead, and don't come back once you've gone!"

Then, the sound of flirting was heard, and Shen Qingge clenched his fists outside the window.

"Then I will hand her over to you, okay? What do you want to do to calm you down?"

"I'm afraid the prince will be reluctant to part with that slender figure and those lovely red lips!"

"That vulgar general's daughter, without a trace of the air of a lady from a noble family, is so vulgar. How can she be compared with you, the stunning beauty of the three-thousand-gold daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion? Come, let me release you once more..."

"Well, well... well, I've prepared the Heartbreak Powder. I'm going to let her know that her entire family is dead, and then force her to drink it. That would be fun! I want her to understand that the prince is mine!"

"Okay, okay, you little bitch, I'll do whatever you say!"

Then, there was another burst of vivid sounds...

Suddenly, the sound of patrolling footsteps was heard again, and Shen Qingge had to quickly dodge and disappear into the night.

However, she didn't want to listen to it anymore. The lewd sounds of this couple were simply disgusting to her!

Is it Su Wan, the third daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion? Is it that so-called most talented lady of the prestigious family who is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?

He is dignified and polite in front of others, but does such dirty things behind their backs.

She has beautiful face and charming figure, but a heart as vicious as a snake!

I have no grudge against her, why did she harm me like this?

Could it be that his father had impeached his Grand Tutor Su Fu in the court for ostensibly recruiting retainers but actually selling official positions and titles, and that was why he held a grudge against him?

It turns out that my humiliating death in my previous life was all planned by her!

She and Xiao Mo are truly a perfect match! Then lock them away to prevent them from endangering the world.

The more Shen Qingge thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned around angrily and ran towards the treasury again.

Along the way, she would sneak into any house she saw, looting all the valuables she could, leaving nothing behind.

She took a lot of candles and oil lamps, teleported to the treasury with her mind, and threw the candles and oil lamps out without thinking, spilling kerosene all over the floor.

Then she took out a tinder from her bosom, lit it, and threw it out.

Rows of wooden shelves briefly emitted white smoke and then instantly caught fire.

The guards outside the yard also discovered it at this time. They rushed into the yard hurriedly, but because they had no key, they could only watch the fire grow bigger and bigger, and the flames shot up into the sky.

"If you don't want to lose your head, go find Zhang the steward!"

A guard yelled.

Hearing this, another guard ran out tumbling and crawling.

Soon, the whole courtyard was filled with shouts, the sound of gongs, footsteps, and the sound of splashing water...

The scene was in a mess, very chaotic.

As for Shen Qingge, she had already slipped out of the treasury and hid in a corner not far away. She watched all this coldly with a smile on her face.

Somehow, at this moment she felt an extreme pleasure of revenge. She even wanted to see with her own eyes how furious Xiao Mo would be when he learned that the treasury was burned down.

But reason prevailed. Remembering that she would need food during her exile, she took advantage of the chaos to go to the kitchen and looted all the delicacies inside, even the pots, pans, and utensils.

Afterwards, she returned to her new room in the west courtyard with satisfaction, lowered the gauze curtain, took off her outer clothes, crawled into the wedding quilt, and pretended to sleep.

Although no one in the Qin Palace would associate the theft and fire in the treasury with her, a "fool" who was crazy and obsessed with the prince, Xiao Mo was very suspicious, so she had to pretend.

She lay comfortably on the bed, and her tiredness and sleepiness made her fall into a sweet dream.

The bedroom on the other side was not so comfortable.

Xiao Mo was galloping on his horse, about to soar into the sky...

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The treasury is on fire!"

A young eunuch shouted anxiously outside the house, his voice so sharp that it was almost indistinguishable from a funeral cry.

Xiao Mo lost all interest in an instant.

He angrily grabbed his underwear, got off the bed, and opened the door. The cool night air rushed in, making Xiao Mo shiver.

This time, he was even more upset and shouted, "Tell me what happened! If you don't tell me, I'll kill you and throw you into the pond to feed the fish!"

The young eunuch was so frightened that he fell to his knees and stammered out the outline of what had happened.

Before Xiao Mo could finish listening to the eunuch's words, he kicked him away with a frown on his face, furious.

Before the young eunuch could even roar, he fell heavily on the steps five feet away, bleeding from the corner of his mouth and died.

Xiao Mo was furious. Who dared to touch him? Inside the treasury was the treasure map he had been searching for for so long!

He anxiously put on a long coat, put on his boots, with his hair disheveled, and without even tying his belt, he was about to walk out.

Su Wan, who was standing beside him, even ran down from the bed and delicately took his arm: "Prince, what's wrong?"

But Xiao Mo didn't appreciate it. He raised his hand and said coldly, "Put on your clothes and get back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion!"

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry, leaving Su Wan kneeling on the ground sobbing...
