Chapter 206: More attractive than the most popular
Feng Yue'er's expression turned ugly in an instant. After being stunned for a moment, she forced a flattering smile.
"My Lady Princess, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask for a drink of water. You can't be so stingy, right?"
Shen Qingyan smiled slightly and said gently: "Water, of course you can drink it."
Feng Yue'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, then why are you pretending?
Just as he was about to get up to drink some water, he heard Shen Qingyan say, "But you have to get out too."
She raised her hand and signaled, "Someone come."
"Yes."
The guard who had just dragged Feng Yue'er stepped forward immediately, picked up the tea on the table and poured it into her mouth, then carried her out.
The cup of tea had just been poured and was still steaming. The moment it entered Feng Yue'er's throat, she felt as if her throat had been burned by an iron, causing a burning sensation.
She ignored the pain and shouted hoarsely, "Princess, I was wrong. I don't want to drink anymore..."
Shen Qingyan watched coldly, without any sympathy.
Feng Yue'er wanted to please her, but was unwilling to submit to her, so she put on airs for her.
Such a person will have ulterior motives even if you accept him.
Seeing Shen Qingyan's figure getting farther and farther away, Feng Yue'er became extremely anxious and shouted urgently.
"Princess, I saw Shen Yunjiao, I know where she is!"
Shen Qingyan raised her eyebrows slightly, and a scornful smile appeared on her lips.
She thought Feng Yue'er had some impressive news, but this is it?
But since she has come to us with this information, let's see how valuable she is.
"Let her come here."
After hearing Shen Qingyan's order, the two guards dragged Feng Yue'er back.
Feng Yue'er knelt on the ground in embarrassment, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but quickly disappeared.
As if she was afraid that Shen Qingyan would go back on her word, she told her everything she had seen.
"I saw Shen Yunjiao and the Princess of the Zhanri Kingdom together at the Baiyun Temple outside the city!"
She emphasized, "It was Helan Huayin who raced with you and caused you and the prince to fall off the cliff."
Haha, this is to attract hatred.
"Really?" Shen Qingyan drank a sip of tea calmly, "Then what? What did you see them doing in Baiyun Temple?"
Feng Yue'er coughed a few times and looked painful.
Shen Qingyan sneered in her heart and gave her a seat.
Feng Yue'er took a deep breath before continuing.
"Shen Yunjiao was dressed up in disguise, even wearing a veil, but I would recognize her even if she turned into ashes. Helan Huayin helped her find a place to stay in the temple. It seems that the relationship between them is extraordinary. Maybe Shen Yunjiao escaped from prison with the help of Helan Huayin..."
Shen Qingyan was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect that Feng Yue'er still had some brains.
Feng Yue'er talked for a long time, but when she saw Shen Qingyan didn't say anything, she began to feel uneasy.
She suspected that Shen Qingyan knew about it in advance, or didn't care about Shen Yunjiao's movements at all.
So continue to add fuel to the fire.
"Princess, Shen Yunjiao has always been secretly trying to harm you. Helan Huayin is a foreign princess who not only covets Your Majesty, but also opposes you in every way. Now the two of them have joined forces. What should we do?"
Shen Qingyan glanced at her indifferently and threw the question back.
"What do you think?"
Feng Yue'er took the opportunity to recommend herself.
"As long as the princess trusts me, I can help her keep an eye on them."
Shen Qingyan hissed, shook her head and sighed, "Just watching them is not enough. As you said, what if they join forces to deal with me, or if it involves exchanges between the two countries, what should I do?"
Feng Yue'er rolled her eyes and began to give some advice.
"Princess, how about this? You tell the prince about this, and then I will take you to expose them."
After all this time, he was trying to take credit, especially to show off in front of Gu Beihuai.
Shen Qingyan was secretly annoyed. Why were they staring at the prince? Was he a popular commodity?
Well, it seems to be more attractive than popular cakes.
As the Prince of Huai, Gu Beihuai holds a high position of power, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He is handsome, and he has only one princess, Shen Qingyan, and no wives or concubines in his mansion. Naturally, those young ladies from official families who want to curry favor with him will have bad intentions towards him.
But unexpectedly, one after another, Shen Qingyan couldn't slap them even if she tried to slap mosquitoes.
But Shen Qingyan remained calm on the surface and said, "Your Majesty is busy with affairs and I'm afraid he has no time to pay attention to these trivial matters. How about this, I'll let two guards go with you. If it's really Shen Yunjiao, it won't be too late to report to Your Majesty."
Feng Yue'er gritted her teeth, feeling very unwilling to see her little plan fail.
She made such a big fuss, but the prince didn't come, so it was obvious that he was not in the palace.
In fact, she didn't like Gu Beihuai, she just wanted the position of concubine.
But nothing can be achieved overnight, so she is not in a hurry.
Feng Yue'er hid the calculation in her eyes and said hoarsely, "What the princess said is true. It does need to be confirmed."
Anyway, what she said was the truth, and Shen Qingyan would believe her sooner or later.
After Feng Yue'er left, Shen Qingyan looked at her back meaningfully, the corners of her lips slightly raised, her eyes full of indifference.
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Shen Yunjiao is the cicada, Helan Huayin is the mantis, and Feng Yue'er is the oriole.
As for Shen Qingyan, she was the manipulator who connected them together with a thread.
Soon, she will be able to witness an unprecedented drama.
This drama not only concerns the three of them, but also the families behind them, especially Prime Minister Shen’s Mansion.
If Shen Zhidie acts like a demon again, it will surely be even more exciting.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyan whispered to Qingmei.
"Go and find a way to pass the news of Shen Yunjiao's stay in Baiyun Temple to Shen Zhidie."
"Yes."
Shen Qingyan's plan is slowly being implemented, and Gu Beihuai's plan is also going smoothly.
It was still that quiet and secluded teahouse, and still that private room on the second floor. The only difference was that the room was no longer filled with smoke, and there were no longer so many musicians and dancers.
Gu Wenyu also sat upright, drinking tea instead of wine.
There were some scratches and impact marks on the table and the windows, and the tea set was replaced with new ones. What was more obvious was that there was gauze wrapped around Gu Wenyu's forehead.
He looked at Gu Beihuai who was drinking tea calmly in front of him, his heart and face full of resentment. He pointed at the wound on his forehead and started complaining.
"My dear nephew, you are so calm. Do you know how badly I was beaten by that tigress Qiu Ying last night because of your tip-off?"
Gu Beihuai slowly put down the teacup, without the slightest feeling of guilt about being accused, and instead responded expressionlessly.
"If the Imperial Uncle hadn't done anything out of line, the Imperial Aunt wouldn't have done anything to you."
"..."
Gu Wenyu was a little annoyed when he was hit on the head.
He thought he could get rid of his tigress wife by traveling through time, but he didn't expect that she would travel through time with him as well, causing him to have the status of a prince but unable to enjoy a free and happy life.
It would be more accurate to say that he traveled through a book rather than traveling through time. Qiu Ying forced him to read this female-oriented rebirth novel together. Who would have thought that as soon as they finished reading it, they were transported through time.
