Reborn to marry, the short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Meng Tingyue could no longer remember how much pain it was. In such a critical situation last night, what she thought about most was how to use this injury to negotiate with the prince.

That's right, she deliberately waited for the prince to strangle her before stabbing him unconscious.

She couldn't gamble the lives of Nanny Qin and the others on the prince's mercy.

Her father was not afraid of the marriage exchange being exposed, but she was worried that it would hurt the people around her.

As it turned out, she succeeded, and Qin Ma and the others were safe.

In her previous life, Nanny Qin was found drowned in a pond after her wedding. There were many speculations, and her father even blamed the entire marriage exchange on Nanny Qin, saying that she committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

The reason why Qinglan and Qingdian were able to save their lives was because she begged the Fifth Prince to come to the palace to meet the emperor and spare their lives. They were innocent.

The fifth prince did leave for a while, and when he came back he said that they were fine. She was very grateful, but later she found out that it was the crown prince who pleaded with the emperor, and the fifth prince did not enter the palace at all.

In this life, the Crown Prince suspected that she was the one behind this because of the letter she wrote. He discovered the marriage exchange early on and arrested Nanny Qin and the others. Naturally, Nanny Qin would not have been found drowned in the pond today.

She protected the people around her and successfully averted the crisis of the marriage exchange.

Now thinking about it carefully, she felt that every step she took was extremely dangerous, and if she was not careful, she would be doomed.

After relaxing, fatigue quickly swept over her and almost overwhelmed her.

Nanny Qin noticed her tiredness and suggested that she take a nap, and Meng Tingyue happily agreed.

Perhaps because there was someone close to her, she slept especially soundly.

-

royal palace.

There was no need to attend the morning court today, but the Emperor and Empress got up early to prepare because their son was going to bring his new bride into the palace today.

When the news that the prince had entered the palace alone reached the ears of the emperor and empress, who were both smiling, their expressions froze in tacit understanding.

"Are you sure that the prince entered the palace alone?" asked the emperor.

The eunuch nodded and said, "I have observed carefully, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has entered the palace."

The emperor's expression instantly turned cold.

The Queen frowned slightly, "Heng'er is not someone who doesn't know etiquette. Perhaps something has gone wrong again."

The emperor also knew that what the queen said made sense. The absurd things that happened last night came to his mind, and his depression increased.

"Go and ask the Imperial Master to come over."

Shen Yunheng entered the palace prepared to be blamed.

"Your son greets the Emperor, Father, and the Empress, Mother."

Shen Yunheng lifted his robe and knelt down.

The emperor's expression was cold, and he didn't call him to get up. "Why are you the only one entering the palace today?"

"Last night, I fell ill and accidentally injured the Crown Princess. Therefore, I did not bring her into the palace today."

Shen Yunheng did not hide anything.

It was precisely this kind of calmness that made the emperor's dissatisfaction have nowhere to go, and it all turned into worry.

"Were you ill last night?"

The Queen only had one biological son, the Prince, and naturally she treasured him very much. She did not bother to ask for punishment in this matter, but rushed to Shen Yunheng and helped him up, her worried eyes swept over him.

"Are you hurt?"

Shen Yunheng shook his head, "The Crown Princess is more seriously injured."

The Queen breathed a sigh of relief but then grabbed her again, "Is the Crown Princess seriously injured?"

Shen Yunheng thought for a moment and nodded.

The queen frowned slightly and began to think about what medicine there was in the storehouse that could be used to heal her wounds and make amends, so that she could take it out and send it to him when the time came.

"Hasn't your condition stabilized? How could it happen again?" Although the emperor was worried, he knew that he was fine when he saw that he could still enter the palace.

"Someone in the palace tampered with the incense. Unable to bear the torture, he committed suicide. However, I have already sent people to investigate the man's background and the source of the incense."

Shen Yunheng narrated calmly.

The emperor and empress were furious.

"There is actually a villain so bold as to put his hands into the prince's mansion." The emperor's eyes and brows, which were very similar to Shen Yunheng's, were filled with the same coldness and cruelty.

"Su Fu, immediately send someone to cooperate with the Crown Prince to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Su Fu was the chief eunuch in the palace and the most favored eunuch by the emperor's side.

Not long after Su Fu retreated, news of the arrival of the Imperial Master came from outside the hall.

Shen Yunheng was not surprised that the imperial teacher would come.

The Imperial Master entered the hall with cheerful steps, the gauze of the veil on his head swaying slightly with his movements.

The Imperial Master stopped beside Shen Yunheng, took off the veil on his head, and politely paid his respects to the Emperor and Empress before looking at Shen Yunheng.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not have a good night last night."

Shen Yunheng listened to the Imperial Master's somewhat nonchalant words in silence.

The Imperial Master didn't care that he didn't reply.

The Imperial Preceptor smiled at the Emperor and Empress, "Your Majesty, did you summon me here to inquire about what happened last night?"

The emperor was not angry at his playful expression. "I think the Imperial Master has also heard about it. Last night's farce is over. If the Crown Prince were to continue to allege that he was ill yesterday and nearly injured the Crown Princess, what would he do?"

The Imperial Master's smile faded slightly, and he said seriously, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Everything is back on track, and things are developing in the best possible way."

The Imperial Master's words reassured the Emperor and Empress.

Shen Yunheng was puzzled and asked sideways, "What did the Imperial Master predict?"

The Imperial Master returned to his eccentric demeanor, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks me to paint a picture, I'll tell you."

In the past, Shen Yunheng always refused.

Today he agreed as usual.

Seeing that there was no trace of surprise on the Imperial Master's face, he knew that everything was under the Imperial Master's control.

"I can only tell Your Highness that you and the Crown Princess are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple."

After hearing this, Shen Yunheng was silent for a moment, and it was hard to tell whether he believed it or not.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince and his wife have entered the palace."

This was not Meng Qingjiao's first time entering the palace. She looked calm and respectfully paid her respects to the emperor and empress together with the fifth prince.

"Everyone, get up."

The fifth prince stood up and his eyes fell on Shen Yunheng, who was alone on the side. His gaze quietly passed over the man with a veil beside him, and his heart became more serious.

"Yun Chen and Jiao Jiao have met the Imperial Master."

Meng Qingjiao was surprised. She had known about the mystery of the Imperial Master for a long time, but this was the first time she had seen him.

As she bowed, her eyes kept looking at the face covered by the veil.

The veil and gauze covered the Imperial Master's face tightly, and not even a trace of it could be seen.

"The Fifth Prince's Consort." The Imperial Master spoke.

Meng Qingjiao lowered her head in fear, "I'm here."

I was caught peeking.

The Queen was originally quite satisfied with Meng Qingjiao's generous and well-mannered behavior, but now she sees that she still lacks some stability.

The Imperial Master said in a clear voice, "Fifth Prince's Consort, there's no need to be nervous. I'm not a man-eating ghost."

Meng Qingjiao's face was filled with impatience. "That's not what I meant. I've only heard of the Imperial Master's extraordinary powers. Seeing him today, I feel the rumors are true..."

After a bunch of polite words, the Imperial Master raised his hand to stop her, "You are too kind, Fifth Prince's wife."

The Imperial Master did not want to talk to them anymore, so the Fifth Prince took Meng Qingjiao to talk with the Emperor and Empress.

Shen Yunheng originally planned to leave after entering the palace to explain the matter. When his fifth brother came, he was planning to leave first, but was caught by the imperial teacher.

He couldn't see the Imperial Master's expression through the veil, but he could hear his voice.

"Your Highness, do you know why the Fifth Prince and his wife look so unhappy?"

Although Shen Yunheng could see that the relationship between the two was subtle and did not seem to be as affectionate as the outside world had rumored, this matter was his younger brother's business after all, so he could not interfere.

Without waiting for Shen Yunheng's reply, the Imperial Preceptor spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Because when the Fifth Prince wanted to show off his virility last night, he found that he couldn't get an erection!"
