Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

The ancestral hall was exceptionally quiet late at night. The incense and candles on the shrine had burned out. Shen Wanqing stood up and added more candles several times, but no one came.

It seems that she will have to go hungry tonight.

Shen Wanru had already fallen asleep at this time.

I don’t know how long it took, but the door of the ancestral hall was gently pushed open and a black shadow flashed in.

"who."

The sound Shen Wanqing just made was covered by her mouth. The person who came in made a "hush" sound at her, let her go, and went to check on Shen Wanru. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he ignored her.

"Why are you here?" Shen Wanqing walked over, her eyes full of worry.

This person is none other than Du Zhijie.

He pulled off the black scarf from his face, his eyes filled with heartache. After a long while, he whispered, "I've finally implicated you."

Du Zhijie looked at Shen Wanqing, his heart filled with guilt and heartache. He walked forward and gently hugged Shen Wanqing from behind, "Qing'er, how can I let you suffer here alone?"

Shen Wanqing broke free from his embrace, turned around, and said with tears in her eyes, "What can you do? This family rule is not something you and I can easily break."

Du Zhijie held Shen Wanqing's hand, his tone unusually firm: "Qing'er, believe me, I will definitely find a way to prevent you from marrying into the Eastern Palace."

"I naturally believe you."

Whether in the previous life or now, she believed in him.

His palm was so warm that she felt extremely safe.

Her small hand was held in his strong big hand, and she shook his hand back. Shen Wanqing's eyes turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but shake his hand back tightly.

Du Zhijie felt a little itchy because of her and couldn't help laughing. He just wanted to hold her delicate little hand tightly, but was afraid of hurting her, so he could only let her little hand hold back.

"As for Lord Shen, I will find a way. No matter what he says or what conditions he proposes, you must agree to them first. Don't contradict him, or you will suffer."

"I see." Shen Wanqing felt aggrieved when she thought about it. "But I also said that if it's the Crown Princess, I'll agree. If it's a concubine, then no. I think this will give him a headache for a while. Before he can convince me, he'll probably try to delay the Queen."

Lord Shen's original goal was the title of Crown Princess. If Shen Wanxiu had not escaped in time, she would probably have been a member of the Eastern Palace by now.

"If Daddy refuses to budge, I have plenty of ways to avoid marrying into the Eastern Palace."

Shen Wanqing exhaled, her eyes clear and terrifying.

"It seems that the prince has been too idle recently. We need to find something for him to do." Du Zhijie snorted coldly.

Shen Wanqing sighed: "Don't act impulsively. If you cause more trouble, what will you do?"

There was murderous intent in Du Zhijie's eyes, but it was fleeting.

He raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, saying in a doting tone, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

"What do you want to do?" Shen Wanqing's tone was very urgent. "The power of the prince's party is too great. It's not easy to deal with. If you really want to take action, you must have a foolproof plan and not take any risks."

Now that the Queen is watching over him, the Crown Prince's position is unshakable. Unless Fan makes any serious mistakes, the Crown Prince will not be punished. The other princes dare not take action against him at this time, and others dare not act rashly.

The most important thing is that in the previous life, the prince ascended the throne.

Seeing her so anxious, Du Zhijie couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are so worried about me."

"If I'm not worried about you, who else can I worry about?" Shen Wanqing blurted out. When she looked up, she saw the mischievous smile in his eyes and immediately pushed him away in embarrassment. "How dare you laugh at me!"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Du Zhijie quickly pulled her back into his arms and coaxed her, "Don't worry about me doing what I do. I won't leave any evidence, so you have to protect yourself as well."

It was the first time someone cared about her, and her heart felt warm.

Du Zhijie patted her on the back and said, "Don't come to this ancestral hall anymore."

Their relationship was still unresolved, and he didn't want her to get hurt so early.

Shen Wanqing nodded.

Seeing that it was almost time to leave, Du Zhijie took out a package from his arms and handed it to Shen Wanqing: "Here are some dry food and water. Eat some first, don't starve yourself."

Shen Wanqing took the package and felt warm in her heart, but she still said, "If you take the risk to come here like this, if you are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Du Zhijie smiled and said, "As long as I can see that you are safe, I am not afraid of anything."

The two chatted for a while before Du Zhijie left, looking back every few steps.

The prime minister's residence was exceptionally quiet late at night. A black shadow flew out silently and disappeared into the distance in a few takes off and land.

Different from the silence in the city, the military camp of the other cannon was very lively. Several bonfires were lit on the training ground. Two people were competing on the platform in the middle, and people were watching and cheering below.

A man came running from outside. The sentry recognized him from a distance as his own young general. He quickly asked someone to open the door and stood up to greet him.

"General!"

Du Zhijie dismounted and heard the noise inside. He glanced over coldly.

The sentry, who had just taken up his horse, saw this and hurriedly explained, "A new recruit has arrived today. He's quite capable. We'll have a duel after dinner, but the winner hasn't been decided yet."

"What's your name?" Du Zhijie frowned. "What's your identity?"

"It seems he's a relative of the Minister of Justice, named Wang Er, who came from the countryside and is very strong.

Du Zhijie had already reached the front of the tent and stopped, his eyes slightly cold. "It's so late and they still haven't rested. They are so energetic, so they should go to the palace gate to take turns for half a month."

You have so much energy, so make good use of it.

The military camp is a good place. Although you have the title of a military general, in today's peaceful and prosperous times, there is no need to go to the battlefield, so many powerful families will send their children here for training.

These people rely on their prominent family background and never obey discipline. Du Zhijie usually turns a blind eye and pretends that this group of people does not exist.

For tonight's disobedience, he only gave him a light punishment and a severe warning.

When they arrived at the tent, the guards followed them in.

Du Zhijie sat down at the table, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I can share with Concubine De some of the accounts of the relief funds for the Huainan flood."

Whether Defei can seize the opportunity of such a big gift depends on herself.

When Shen Wanqing arranged such a good marriage for the Second Prince, and now that she is in trouble, it is time for them to come out and return the favor.

This guard was his confidant and he turned around and went to do his work.

This time the prince is probably going to lose a lot of money.

As the crown prince, he has to be in charge of all departments in the court. Only if he completes the tasks in each department well can he gain the emperor's approval and ascend the throne in the future.

If this incident tainted his reputation, at best he would be accused of incompetence, at worst he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor. If this matter were to become public, the Crown Prince would be in for a while.

The winner of the training ground has been decided. After fighting for half a day, Wang Er was finally knocked down. He was covered in sweat and was so tired that he lay on the ground gasping for breath, but there was excitement in his eyes.
