After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

"What did you say?"

Zhu Qing'an was originally planning to enter the palace, but she didn't expect Fu Guang to bring such news.

"Princess, something happened to Master Shen!" Fu Guang said in a serious tone.

Zhu Qingan supported the table with one hand, her face turning pale instantly. She tried hard to control herself and said, "Tell me clearly, what happened to him?"

Zhu Qing'an only felt her eyes going dark, her heart beating fast, and even her lips couldn't help but tremble. She didn't know how helpless she looked at that moment.

She was looking forward to Shen Shixin coming back and getting married, but why did something go wrong? Was it because of her? If it weren't for her, Shen Shixin would still be staying in Ancheng.

The more Zhu Qing'an thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

"The news came from Chongzhou by express horse. When Master Shen was personally supervising the river, the riverbank suddenly rose for some unknown reason. In order to save the workers, Master Shen was swept away by the fast-flowing river. His life or death is still unknown!" Fu Guang said with a sad face.

"Princess, you have to hold on!" Wangshu hurriedly supported Zhu Qing'an.

"The news has been reported to His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely send someone to rescue Young Master Shen!" Fu Guang looked at Zhu Qing'an worriedly.

Zhu Qing'an closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. She knew she couldn't panic at this moment.

"I want to enter the palace!" Zhu Qing'an only said one sentence, and Fu Guang immediately went to prepare.

When Zhu Qing'an entered the palace, the palace had already received news that Imperial Envoy Shen Shixin had gotten into trouble in Chongzhou, and there was a lot of controversy about this matter in the court at this time.

Some people accused the Queen Mother of not approving of the river construction. Now that such a thing happened just as the river was being built, it was a warning from heaven.

Someone reported that Shen Shixin was not doing his job well.

Shen Shixin's father, Minister Shen, stood in the court, suppressing his grief and arguing with the ministers.

The dispute in the previous dynasty continued, and Zhu Qing'an hurried to the Cining Palace.

"Aunt!" As soon as Zhu Qing'an entered the hall, she knelt in the main hall with tears in her eyes.

The empress dowager looked at her frightened niece and sighed silently. Palace Master Guan hurriedly helped Zhu Qing'an up.

"Princess, don't panic. The Empress Dowager will find a solution!" Guan Gongling advised.

Zhu Qing'an stood up and walked to her aunt's side. The empress dowager took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of Zhu Qing'an's eyes. There was a compassion in her eyes that Zhu Qing'an did not understand.

"Do you like him that much?" asked the Queen Mother.

Zhu Qing'an nodded without any hesitation. How could she not like it? Those unwavering loyalty and the mutual support were the only sweetness she could taste in her previous life.

"Forget it, I will send someone to look for Master Shen!" the Queen Mother promised.

Zhu Qing'an understood that since her aunt said so, she would definitely send the most capable person to Chongzhou, and she should have waited in Ancheng with peace of mind.

But when Zhu Qing'an thought about Shen Shixin's whereabouts being unknown and whether he was alive or dead, his heart felt like it was boiling in a pot of oil, and he couldn't sit still.

"Aunt, I want to go to Chongzhou with you!" Zhu Qing'an pinched her aunt's sleeve tightly and begged.

She couldn't wait for news in Ancheng. What she wanted to do now was to go to Chongzhou in person. She wanted to find Shen Shixin in person. She wanted to be the first to know whether he was alive or dead.

"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother was rarely angry, and the palace maids waiting in the hall knelt on the ground.

"The construction of the river in Chongzhou is a mixed crowd, and something like this happened. It's a huge mess. What are you doing there?" the Queen Mother scolded.

Maybe others would be afraid, but Zhu Qing'an was not afraid of her aunt's anger at all.

She knelt at her aunt's feet, and spoke with a powerful voice, "Qing'an, don't be afraid! Qing'an can protect herself. If Qing'an doesn't go this time, I will regret it! Aunt, I don't want to regret it!"

The empress dowager's sharp eyes pressed heavily on Zhu Qing'an, and the aunt and niece looked at each other for a long time.

Then, it was the Queen Mother who looked away first, as if she was a little tired.

"Forget it. I will let you go to Chongzhou with the officials, but you have to promise me that your safety will be the top priority. If something happens to you, I will not let Shen Shixin go even if he is safe and sound. Do you understand?" The Queen Mother said in a cold tone.

She is the queen mother, and her heart is full of the common people, but her heart is also very small, and can only accommodate a few people she cares about.

"Qing'an understands!" Zhu Qing'an nodded while crying.

"Go back and pack up. I have something to say to your father!" The Queen Mother waved her hand. She obviously did not approve of what her niece did, but she had planned everything for her.

Zhu Qing'an turned around and left, ready to go to Chongzhou impatiently.

After Zhu Qing'an left, the Queen Mother could not even bear to read the memorial, so Palace Master Guan stepped forward to present the Queen Mother with bird's nest.

The Queen Mother took a sip but had no appetite.

"How can this child be so sincere? The Shen family treated her so badly, yet she fell so deeply in love with them! Wasn't it wrong for me to arrange this marriage for her?" The Queen Mother was a little suspicious.

The empress dowager had arranged this marriage in order to make Bian Licheng, then the third prince, give up his desire for Zhu Qing'an. But now, seeing how much her niece cared about Shen Shixin, she felt regretful.

In this day and age, life is not easy for women. If my niece falls in love with a man with all her heart, as long as this man changes his mind a little, she will be doomed.

"I don't think Mr. Shen is a heartless man. Even if the Queen Mother doesn't trust men, doesn't she trust the princess you raised? In my opinion, the princess may seem weak, but she has inherited your genes and has her own ideas. Besides, the princess is still young and she has to experience love. Whether it is a blessing or a hardship, that is the princess' fate!" Palace Master Guan consoled her.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt relieved.

"I was confused! I always thought Qing'an could be more rational, but I forgot that she is still a girl! There are some things that you can't see through without experiencing them!" The Queen Mother smiled bitterly.

"You are not confused, you are just worried. The princess has you to protect her, so she won't suffer any harm. What's more, that person will also protect the princess!" Guan Gongling suddenly whispered.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly realized something.

"Yes, if I were not feared by Your Majesty, if I had been granted marriage for these two children..." The Queen Mother did not continue. It was all in the past and there was no point in talking about it again.

Guan Gongling couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard this.

If the princess had arranged a marriage with that man back then, the empress dowager would not have to be so worried. After all, that man's character would not be wrong, and he loved the princess deeply and would definitely not let her down.

What a pity, what a pity, we are not destined to be together.

"Come, accompany me to the main hall and see what mistakes my good sons and good ministers are making up about me!" The empress dowager stood up and Guan Gongling hurriedly supported her.
