Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Shen Zhongli finally got rid of the Yun family's people. The past two days had been quite unlucky for him. When he was about to go to the other courtyard, Marquis Zhenning came to visit.

Dou Yao sat in the lobby, stroking the foam in the cup, his eyes long.

Now the status of Zhenning Hou is far higher than Shen Zhongli, so he has to salute Dou Yao.

"I wonder why Lord Dou came here?"

Dou Yao said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Shen hasn't returned home yet?"

Shen Zhongli was slightly surprised. He was curious about why Dou Yao knew about this.

"What do you mean? The other day, my wife went to the Wanfo Temple to burn incense, and she disappeared. I sent people to look for her for a long time, but there was no trace of her."

Shen Zhongli looked sad, as if he had lost his loved one, and even squeezed out two tears.

Hearing this, Dou Yao slowly explained his purpose.

"Yun Wanrou attempted to assassinate the Emperor at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple but was captured by Master Juechen's men and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. The Right Prime Minister has also learned of this."

Shen Zhongli's face changed slightly, and he stood up impatiently. He thought Yun Wanrou had simply disappeared, but she was sent to the Heavenly Prison by the emperor's men. He was afraid that the crime she committed was not light at all.

"Why would Rou'er do this? Is there a reason?"

Dou Yao looked at Shen Zhongli meaningfully and tried to persuade him kindly.

"If I were you, I would withdraw from this matter. You must know the identity of Master Juechen. The emperor trusts him the most. If Yun Wanrou is really punished, I am afraid she will not be able to keep her life."

Shen Zhongli's face turned pale. In the court, it was indeed impossible for him to reach the top with his power alone.

The Right Prime Minister, the Fifth Prince and him form a three-way balance of power. He is responsible for cleaning up the mess for the Right Prime Minister and the Fifth Prince. However, if something happens to Yun Wanrou, the balance will eventually be broken.

Shen Zhongli was extremely nervous, fearing that one day he would have to make a choice, but other than keeping himself safe, other methods seemed inappropriate.

He was a little upset and quickly grabbed Dou Yao's hand and spoke in a firm tone.

"What Yun Wanrou did has nothing to do with me. Brother Dou, you and I have known each other for a while, so you must know what kind of person I am."

Dou Yao looked at his panic-stricken appearance, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. After all, Shen Zhongli was unable to bear the responsibility.

He chuckled to comfort Shen Zhongli and said calmly, "Of course I believe you, but the emperor is still investigating. You should make plans as soon as possible. It's getting late, and I shouldn't stay any longer. Goodbye."

Dou Yao was about to stride away when Shen Zhongli stopped him. He looked at Shen Zhongli in confusion.

"Is there something wrong, Master Shen?"

Shen Zhongli ordered Awen to deliver a thousand taels of gold and handed it to Dou Yao, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

"This money is just a token of my appreciation. Brother Dou, why don't you accept it?"

Dou Yao took a look at the thousand taels of gold and shook his head. He had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water.

"I just made a few casual remarks. Lord Shen, please don't be polite."

After saying that, he stood up and left the Shen Mansion. No matter how Shen Zhongli tried to keep him, he ignored him.

Shen Zhongli originally wanted to bring Wen Mian back to the mansion, but Yun Wanrou's matter distracted all his thoughts. He returned to the study and discussed with his staff, and decided to discuss the matter with the right prime minister first.

However, when he took a carriage to the prime minister's residence, he learned that the prime minister was not there.

Shen Zhongli was frustrated and felt a little irritable. He got drunk and finally went to the villa to find Wen Mian, where they spent another night together.

The Right Prime Minister did not dare to act rashly. He was naturally affected by the fact that Yun Wanrou was imprisoned in the Sky Prison. At the same time, there were many rumors in the court. Some people said that Yun Qing was still alive.

The Right Prime Minister recalled what happened more than ten years ago and still had doubts in his heart. After much investigation, he actually found out that Yun Qing's life experience was from Xiang Mama in Zui Xiang Lou.

Yun Qing was the young woman that Shen Zhongli had taken as his concubine. Originally, the Right Prime Minister did not take her seriously, but the uneasiness in his heart made him unable to dispel the clouds of worry in his heart.

The Right Prime Minister secretly sent someone to invite Aunt Qi out, and Aunt Qi told the Right Prime Minister about the Shen Mansion's affairs with a mixture of truth and lies.

"The eldest young lady was plotted against by Concubine Yun. She may have approached Lord Shen specifically to seek revenge. Lord Prime Minister, you must avenge the young lady!"

The Right Prime Minister puts his own interests first, and his daughter's life and death are all in God's will. However, if Yun Qing is alive, it will make the emperor recall the past, which may not be a good thing.

He immediately gave Madam Qi a death order, "No matter what means you use, make Yun Qing die quietly in the Shen Mansion. If you do this well, I can forgive you for not protecting the master."

Nanny Qi did not dare to be negligent. She knew the Right Prime Minister's temper. Now that things had come to this, there was no time to back down. He knew this very well.

"Yes, the servant understands."

The Shen Mansion was filled with gloom, and Shen Zhongli did not return home. The old lady looked a little unhappy. She was not feeling well, so she gave the housekeeper power to Qian.

At home, a piece of news spread like wildfire. It was the latest news Qian Jiali had received.

She used her power to find out that the court doctor had secretly visited Concubine Yun and found out that Shi Qing was pregnant.

Qian Jiali would naturally not let the child be born, so she bribed the doctor to add saffron and musk to Shi Qing's medicine.

The doctor was naturally unwilling to do so, as it was against medical ethics. However, Qian Jiali added three hundred taels of silver and finally silenced the court doctor.

The maids in Guanlan Garden were in a very difficult situation. The people in the mansion knew that Aunt Yun was not favored, so they simply cut off their meals, as if they were ignoring Shi Qing.

Qian Jiali was complacent, thinking that Shi Qing was having a hard time and was living in fear, but she didn't know.

Shi Qing was lying flat in the system space, drinking happy water, eating self-heating hot pot, and watching the plot unfold on the big screen happily.

Tuanzi looked at Shi Qing helplessly. It transformed into a little white cat in the space, rubbed Shi Qing's arm, glanced at him, and said in confusion.

[Host, if you don't fight back, Daylily will be dead.]

Shi Qing put down the potato chips in his hand, looking calm and composed.

[Wait a minute, the ultimate skill is on cooldown. We'll soon be able to move to a bright and spacious place.]

She was too lazy to fight with Qian Jiali. Since she was not the target of the mission, Shi Qing didn't even bother to give her a glance.

*

Time passed quickly in the system space. When Shi Qing and Shen Zhongli secretly brought Wen Mian back to the mansion, they returned to Guanlan Garden.

She felt a little weak and lay on the bed with a dark face. Outside the window, she could hear the maids whispering.

"Have you heard? Our master brought back a girl who looks exactly like Concubine Yun!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Concubine Yun is the substitute. Now that Princess Yongning has returned, Concubine Yun can't even compare to her. Who the hell is she?"

"Speaking of which, Concubine Yun is really pitiful. I heard that she was pregnant, but our master abandoned her. Our master is really cruel."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to be heard in Guanlan Garden, as if it was meant for Shi Qing to hear.

The candlestick at hand was burning, and a dark shadow was swaying not far away. Shi Qing pulled down the bed curtain and knocked over the candlestick. A raging fire broke out instantly, and the huge Guanlan Garden was burned as bright as day.

The maids were terrified and said hurriedly, "Oh no! Someone come quickly! Guanlan Garden is on fire!"

There were not enough staff in the mansion because of the arrival of the new bride, and the fire in Guanlan Garden happened too suddenly. By the time the maids put out the fire, Guanlan Garden had become a ruin.

The once elegant courtyard was now deserted. The maids only found two corpses in the courtyard, which must have been those of the poor concubine Yun and her maid Lu Ya.

"This matter must be reported to the Lord!"

However, before the maid could leave, she was stopped by someone named Qian Jiali.

She said coldly, "My Lord is getting married to Princess Yongning today. Why bother me?"

The maids did not dare to disobey Qian Jiali and had to obey her wishes. However, the matter of Guanlan Garden could not be concealed and was reported to the old lady.

The old lady did not make a big fuss at first. She just heard Fang Xun say that the court doctor diagnosed Shi Qing with pregnancy, and her body, which was not in good health to begin with, gradually fell down.

"How is it possible? If she was pregnant, why didn't anyone tell her?"

Nanny Fangxun stammered, "I'm afraid someone is secretly plotting something. The old lady must know about the tricks in the backyard."

It’s just that there are too many things to do in the mansion, and the old lady is a little overwhelmed, and at this moment she is only feeling irritated.

"Forget it, just think of it as a fire in Guanlan Garden. Don't let the master reveal any other rumors."

Fang Xun nodded, "Yes, old lady."

Shen Zhongli placed Wen Mian in the best courtyard in the mansion and even gave Wen Mian's children the best treatment.

Although the old lady was angry, she did not make the matter public in order not to hurt the relationship between mother and son.

Ah Wen knocked on the door of Jingsiyuan and said anxiously, "Master, something bad has happened!"

Shen Zhongli woke up from his sleep. He could not distinguish between reality and dreams. He actually dreamed that Yun Qing, who only loved him, stabbed him in the chest with a sword.

She said she was a heartless person and she would never forgive herself.

Shen Zhongli felt inexplicably empty in his heart until Awen's voice brought him back to reality.

Looking at the girl with creamy skin and beautiful face beside the bed, he gathered the corner of her clothes.

He pushed the door open and the servant Awen appeared in front of the door. He wiped the cold sweat from his face and said hurriedly, "There's a fire in Guanlan Garden. Aunt Yun is gone..."

Shen Zhongli's face looked a little ugly, and he felt a little upset in his heart, but it was just a thought. His Mianmian had already returned to his side. She was just an unimportant person, so if she died, she died.

He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "After all, she has been with me for several years, Awen. Burying Yunqing with honor should be the last token of my friendship with her."

Ah Wen felt sorry for it, but he didn't dare to disobey the order. He asked tentatively, "Master, won't you go see Aunt Yun?"

Shen Zhongli sneered, "What's the big deal if she goes? It's just her bad luck, no one else's to blame."

Even if Shi Qing was alive, she was a sinner of the Yun family, and death would be a relief for her.

This was her fate.

Wen Mian on the bed whimpered. Shen Zhongli glanced at Awen and said coldly.

"From now on, Yun Qing is not allowed to be mentioned in the mansion, and her belongings are not allowed to appear in Jingsi Courtyard. Do you understand?"

Awen nodded hurriedly, but his emotions were very complicated. He couldn't tell whether it was sympathy or something else.

*

A month later.

After Yun Wanrou disappeared for a whole month, the Shen family and the Right Prime Minister Yun Zilong reached some kind of agreement. In the end, the two families broke off the engagement, and Shen Zhongli secretly returned a considerable amount of money to the Right Prime Minister.

Yun Wanrou finally returned to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but her body was covered with wounds, her appearance was ruined, and her legs were crippled. Shen Zhongli actually took the opportunity to break off the engagement.

The Right Prime Minister's plan failed. Even if Yun Wanrou came back, she would inevitably be suspected by the Emperor.

You was extremely disappointed with his daughter. After settling Yun Wanrou in the courtyard before she got married, he never paid any attention to her again.

Suddenly, a small fortune-telling shop appeared in the capital. No one paid much attention to it at first, but later, more and more people came to the shop for fortune-telling. Because it was very effective, it was sought after by young girls in the capital.

However, the fortune teller always wears a mask, so her true appearance cannot be seen, which shows that her identity is very secretive.

In fact, the fortune-telling girl's predictions were so accurate that she was favored by the emperor. It was said that she had been sent to the Golden Palace to meet him. If she could enter the Imperial Observatory, she would surely be rich and prosperous in the future.

On the East Street of the capital, a luxuriously decorated carriage drove slowly, attracting the attention of the people around.

The girl in the carriage wore a mask on her head, and her almond-shaped eyes were so lively that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Dou Yao waved a folding fan in his hand, looked at the little girl beside him, and said slowly.

"Master Juechen has made preparations. Qingqing, today is your first chance."

Yes, the girl traveling with Dou Yao was none other than Shi Qing, who faked her death in the fire at Shen's house a month ago. Of course, Lu Ya was also safe and sound, and was settled in the capital by Shi Qing.

That scene was also fully prepared. Before leaving, Shi Qing secretly went to Shen Zhongli's study and gained a lot.

She copied Shen Zhongli's seal and also spent half a month copying Shen Zhongli's handwriting, waiting for this day.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period. No matter what my brother plans to do, I heard that the fifth prince has returned to the capital. He quelled the unrest in the north. The emperor has appointed him the Prince of Chen. He will enter the capital in three days."

Dou Yao shook his head. He and Shi Qing were partners, so he could certainly guess the relationship between Yun Zhan and Shi Qing.

After all, Dou Yao was originally a pawn placed by Yun Zhan in the court, and now they are just a cooperative relationship.

"Instead of worrying about what he might do, it's better to worry about yourself. Some things are better left alone."

Shi Qing nodded and smiled without saying anything.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Forbidden City. Dou Yao supported Shi Qing and walked into the palace from the Xuanwu Gate.

After waiting for a while, he finally got the message. Shi Qing met Emperor Wenchang for the second time. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his brows were furrowed, and his aura was intimidating without even being angry.

Emperor Wenchang dismissed his attendants and left only Shi Qing and Dou Yao in the palace.

Shi Qing glanced at Emperor Wenchang and frowned slightly. She noticed that the center of Emperor Wenchang's forehead was black, and it turned out that he had been cast under a witchcraft spell. She just didn't know who was so bold.

"I have met the emperor."

Dou Yao pulled Shi Qing to kneel down and saluted the majestic monarch.

Emperor Wenchang waved his hand and asked the two to sit down. He had secretly made a lot of moves regarding the Yun Wanrou incident, and the mutual suspicion between the Shen and Yun families was exactly what he wanted.

However, Emperor Wenchang's gaze fell on Shi Qing's face with a half-smile, and his voice suddenly became stern.

"How dare you, the daughter of a treacherous minister, approach me while concealing your true identity? What crime should you take?"

Shi Qing knelt down without being servile or arrogant, and looked into the eyes of Emperor Wenchang. It seemed that Emperor Wenchang had known her identity for a long time.

"How could I possibly deceive you? With your Majesty's intelligence, you might be able to see through my identity. It's just that you want to take advantage of the only value I have."
