The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Shen Qinglan, in particular, looked at Shen Shijing with a meaningful gaze.

Because the Crown Prince neglected state affairs and was physically weak, while the Emperor was in his prime, no one ever questioned the Crown Prince's position. After all, it would have been easy for the Emperor to replace the Crown Prince if he wanted to.

but……

"Your Highness, are you sure?"

Even the emperor himself didn't believe that the pampered crown prince could take on such a task.

"If I can give Father Emperor an explanation for what happened in Liuzhou, then those who say Qingge's fate is ominous are just spreading alarmist rumors and should be executed."

When Shen Shijing spoke the last few words, his gaze became dark and sharp, like a demon from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Shen Shijing has always been like this, and it is well known that he is a gloomy person.

……

When Shen Shijing returned, the afterglow of the sunset fell on the ground.

Jiang Xianyue had a book covering her face. She had been sunbathing in the elegant garden, but she had unknowingly fallen asleep.

Shen Shijing quietly took the book down and stared at Jiang Xianyue with an unreadable emotion.

The unspoken doubts in his heart erupted at this moment.

"Jiang Xianyue, what exactly do you want? Do you really think you can save Qingge, or even save me from this situation? Or is this all just a common conspiracy from beginning to end?"

I've witnessed your courage and resourcefulness before; I should have killed you the moment you returned.

Shen Shijing's eyes were red, his gaze filled with a mixture of love and hate.

Yes, killing Jiang Xianyue would solve everything.

He deliberately wiped out everyone in the alley that day.

In both lifetimes, his resentment never fell on Jiang Xian Yue.

However, Shen Shijing knew for certain that Jiang Xianyue... she was not worthy.

Everything happened so strangely.

Shen Shijing's hand paused in mid-air, approaching Jiang Xianyue's neck, but then turned to Jiang Xianyue's cheek.

Jiang Xianyue opened her eyes.

Perhaps from the moment Shen Shijing approached, she felt inexplicably warm and comfortable. She was familiar with this comfortable feeling, and when she saw Shen Shijing, the corners of his eyes were red.

A handsome man with slightly swollen cheeks and tears in his eyes.

For some reason, Jiang Xian Yue's desire to save Feng Chen reached its peak.

The sense of heartbreak was palpable, which indeed made Jiang Xian Yue feel inexplicably heartbroken.

After staring at each other for a while, Jiang Xianyue's slightly cool hand landed on Shen Shijing's slightly swollen cheek first.

"Your Majesty, did they lay a hand on you? Did they hit you?"

Jiang Xianyue knew about Shen Shijing's situation in both her past and present lives. However, Jiang Xianyue believed that Shen Shijing was not someone to be trifled with. He appeared nonchalant, but in reality, he was a ruthless character.

Of course, all of this impression stemmed from the Second Prince in his previous life.

She bit her lower lip, seemingly somewhat regretful.

When she got to know Shen Shijing, she actually felt sorry for him.

Jiang Xianyue thought that someone who had seen so much joy and sorrow would be indifferent to all major events. She didn't even realize that her tone was filled with unspeakable sobs and heartache.

A mix of emotions welled up inside me.

She was truly awful in her past life and deserved to die.

Shen Shijing remained kneeling beside the chaise lounge, his cheek unconsciously moving closer to Jiang Xianyue's hand.

Shen Shijing never took the humiliation of being slapped by his father in front of all his brothers seriously.

His mother died early, and he thought he was indifferent to everything.

Jiang Xianyue looked at Shen Shijing sincerely.

"The Emperor is ruthless."

She casually complained about the matter, but Shen Shijing suddenly realized what was going on.

"I'm used to Father's attitude."

I believe Miss Jiang's words this time, regarding the matter in Liuzhou City..."

"It's just an evil spirit that harms people; I can take it in."

Jiang Xianyue was confident of victory.

"As long as it can be proven that everything has nothing to do with the princess, His Highness the Crown Prince is also capable of taking action against those people."

"Jiang Xianyue, are you going to help me?"

Shen Shijing asked many times, but Jiang Xianyue's answers were never very sincere.

Yes, that's why Jiang Xianyue helped.

In her past life, she had clearly helped Shen Qinglan and earned more face for Shen Qinglan in front of the emperor, so this good thing also happened to her.

Is it a life-or-death situation because Shen Qingge is alive, or a cage prepared for herself?

Although Jiang Xianyue and Shen Qingge have a really good relationship, Shen Shijing may always be in a dark place, often thinking in a dark direction.

However, in Shen Shijing's view, Jiang Xianyue's actions were never shady.

She is sunny and bright, using her own abilities to protect those around her; she is independent and beautiful.

She was different from the woman in his heart who aided and abetted evil only for the sake of victory.

"Hmm... for justice."

Jiang Xianyue revealed a smile that Shen Shijing couldn't understand.

Past lives and present lives are too fantastical for Jiang Xianyue to explain. However, she was undoubtedly happy in the process of helping Shen Shijing repay his debt of gratitude.

Her bright smile helped Shen Shijing up.

"Your Highness, please make your preparations."

At this moment, the two were deeply in love, and Shen Shijing's expression softened slightly. Just as he was about to leave, Shen Qingge arrived.

Shen Qingge was worried that Jiang Xianyue would catch a cold, so she brought her a blanket, but she saw Shen Shijing come in with her own eyes.

"elder brother!"

She ran over.

"I also want to go to Liuzhou to see it, but it won't affect my brother."

It's near my fiefdom, but I've never been there since I was a child. The people of my fiefdom support me, a princess; I should do something for them.”

As Liu Miaomiao got closer to Jiang Xianyue, she seemed to become braver.

Jiang Xianyue stared intently at Shen Qingge in front of her.

"It's not impossible."

Shen Shijing quickly stopped him.

"Qingge is physically weak and knows nothing. What if she encounters danger on the road?"

Miss Jiang knows that Qingge has become a target for those people in my place. How can this be allowed?

"Although the princess's fate is not extremely unlucky, and it is not as the Grand Master said, she can still do something for the people, which can be considered as doing good deeds and accumulating merit. Perhaps it can change the shortcomings of her fate, which can be considered as accumulating blessings and merits."

A princess of a nation receives the support of countless people; it is only right that she should repay them. This is not unreasonable.

When Jiang Xianyue said that, Shen Qingge's eyes lit up.

"really."

Shen Qingge doesn't seem to like hiding.

"That's great, I'll go prepare right away."

Shen Qingge skipped and hopped away.

Shen Shijing looked at Jiang Xianyue meaningfully.

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will protect the princess."

The princess is naive and innocent. If the crown prince isn't in the capital, and other princes come to visit and do something wrong, the crown prince will regret it for the rest of his life.

Yes, Shen Qingge craves family affection so much that even small favors might be enough to gain her trust.

Shen Shijing then realized the danger Shen Qingge was in in the capital.

"I'll go pack my things and get ready to leave quickly."

Shen Qingge didn't say that the events in Liuzhou had been brought forward. She had initially thought the events in Liuzhou were a matter of chance, but now it seemed that they were more like a self-directed and self-acted drama.

Also, she wanted to take the opportunity to go back to Wanggushan.

She had so many questions she wanted to ask the old man.

For example, how to restore one's spiritual power.
