Shen Qiuyun didn't expect to see this scene when she came in. She was slightly stunned before walking over, "What are you doing..."

Before she could finish her words, a pungent smell rushed towards her face.

Shen Qiuyun blinked rapidly several times before she managed to control herself from bursting into tears.

She also realized what was happening and looked at Jiang Wansang in surprise, "Did you put onions in your eyes?"

Jiang Wansang wiped the water off her face and nodded in response.

Shen Qiuyun: "..."

She silently stretched out her hand and gave Jiang Wansang a thumbs up.

What a ruthless person!

Jiang Wansang tidied herself up and looked at her with half-closed eyes, "Why is the Third Princess here?"

It’s not that she wanted to pretend to be deep by half-closing her eyes, but she really couldn’t open her eyes and just wanted to cry.

Shen Qiuyun wanted to walk over directly, but she felt the irritation of the people around her, so she chose to sit a little further away. "If I hadn't come, how could I have seen this wonderful show performed by Miss Jiang?"

She had quite a bit of contact with Jiang Wansang, and as soon as she saw her with tears on her face, she knew she must be up to something bad.

Even the uproar at the inn yesterday was most likely the work of this woman.

Jiang Wansang knew what she was thinking the moment she heard this, and quickly explained her innocence, "Princess Third, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just a simple girl who enjoys watching the fun, but I don't have the ability to orchestrate such a spectacle."

She spoke sincerely and seriously, but Shen Qiuyun didn't quite believe her words.

Seeing how well prepared she is, even if this matter was not planned by her, she is definitely involved.

But this has nothing to do with her. Now that the two of them have become allies, there is naturally no need for her to dig into these things.

Shen Qiuyun sat at a relatively distant position, watching Jiang Wansang treat her red and swollen eyes while listening to the lively discussion downstairs.

Ever since she could remember, she had never felt the freedom she enjoyed during this period, and all this was because of the cooperation opportunity that Jiang Wansang gave her.

So when I happened to see Jiang Wansang crying sadly, I wanted to come over and take a look. I didn't expect that she would be willing to use such harsh methods on herself just for the sake of acting.

If it were her, she might not have the courage to put onions on her eyes. After all, she is most afraid of pain and death.

Shen Qiuyun couldn't help but recall some things in her mind. Those not-so-good memories were like a sword, piercing her heart and causing her pain.

"Well……"

Shen Qiuyun covered her chest with her hands, frowned, and bent her body unconsciously.

Jiang Wansang, whose eyes had finally recovered a good portion, happened to see her in pain and frowned as she asked, "What happened to the Third Princess?"

Shen Qiuyun's face turned pale. After hearing her question, she took several deep breaths, as if trying to suppress something. Then she looked up and said, "Nothing, just an old illness."

Old illness?

In a flash, something suddenly flashed through Jiang Wansang's mind.

She remembered that although Shen Qiuyun in the book was willing to sacrifice her life for Su Huanyu in the end, the real cause of her death was a hidden disease in her body.

Even Su Huanyu in the book didn't know about this, because the love-brained Shen Qiuyun concealed her situation in order to reassure her beloved, so that in the end, only the readers with a God's perspective knew the real cause of Shen Qiuyun's death.

Jiang Wansang stared at Shen Qiuyun, whose face looked very pale, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

The book does not mention what Shen Qiuyun's hidden illness is. It seems that this is just to prevent the male protagonist Su Huanyu from being charged with "killing a woman who loved him deeply" and to complete the setting of "the female supporting role voluntarily sacrifices without asking for anything in return" in order to earn readers' tears.

Jiang Wansang frowned, not caring about her own red, swollen, and painful eyes. "I wonder what the Third Princess's past illness is?"

She thought that she had completely changed Shen Qiuyun's fate by making her an ally, but now it seems that Shen Qiuyun might still "die of a hidden illness" as in the book.

This is not the situation she wants to see.

Shen Qiuyun clearly sensed her sudden change in tone and looked over in confusion, "Miss Jiang really cares about me?"

Jiang Wansang naturally didn't explain her concerns. "As an ally, isn't it my duty to care about the Third Princess?"

She looked at Shen Qiuyun's slowly regaining color, and became even more confused.

If it was an old illness, how could Shen Qiuyun's face turn pale in an instant and then recover so quickly?

Jiang Wansang always felt something strange in her heart. Her intuition told her that she had to find out the condition of Shen Qiuyun's body, otherwise there would definitely be hidden dangers later.

But Shen Qiuyun was obviously very secretive about this matter and had no intention of mentioning it. "This princess has countless capable people around her, so Miss Jiang, there's no need to worry too much."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wansang did not insist on asking further questions, but secretly took note of the matter in her heart, planning to find a chance to ask Pei Zhanzhou.

Feng Yi has not yet gone to Beisheng, and is still a long way from establishing an intelligence network. If she wants to know the situation in Beisheng, the only person she can ask is Pei Zhanzhou.

That night.

Everyone gradually fell asleep, but a candle was still lit in the Seventh Prince's mansion.

"Crack!"

Su Huanyu crushed the teacup in his hand, and his dark face looked very scary in the night.

He had a lot of anger in his heart that he wanted to vent, but he didn't dare to smash things in the house because he knew how many eyes were staring at him and wanting to make fun of him.

The angrier and more furious he appeared, the happier the person behind the plot was.

But the lingering anger in his heart almost made him lose control of his temper, and the broken teacup piercing his flesh could not disperse it.

Changshun stood respectfully aside, wanting to say something, but finally opened his mouth and silently put away the crushed teacup.

After coming out of the West City Inn yesterday, the master has not slept at all. He has been asking people to pay attention to the news outside, and his eyes are red from staying up all night.

But despite all the arrangements made by the master, the news outside was not only not suppressed, but became more and more intense, especially what Miss Jiang did in the teahouse, which pushed the rumors to a new height.

At this moment, the master must be eager to tear Miss Jiang apart.

Su Huanyu does have such thoughts now.

He didn't understand why the person who was easily controlled by him suddenly changed so much.

At this point, no matter how unwilling Su Huanyu felt, he had no choice but to admit defeat, otherwise the people behind the scenes would set a trap for him in unknown ways.

Although he was completely defeated in this round, it was not a complete loss. At least he had the biggest trump card.

After comforting himself, Su Huanyu's eyes sparkled. After bandaging the wound on his hand, he instructed Changshun, "Go find a senior monk to get a string of consecrated Buddhist beads and secretly send it to my mother."

Changshun was shocked and did not dare to delay even a little.

This is the first time in all these years that the master has given something to the empress. Is the rift between them as mother and son finally going to be resolved?

Su Huanyu felt much calmer, but sleepiness soon followed.

After he dismissed Changshun, he extinguished the candle and lay down.

Soon, Su Huanyu fell into a deep sleep, but some strange scenes appeared in his dream.
