Pearl saw Shen Qingyun blushing, winking at Hanshuang, and then smiled and slipped out with Hanshuang. In fact, she liked this kind of young lady very much, but she always felt that she had always been too cold.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. There was nothing she could do. These people were like jackals, tigers and leopards. The lady had to be careful every step she took. If she made a mistake, she might ruin her life. Fortunately, now she finally Much easier.

Inside the room, Shen Qingyun unfolded the letter and read it twice carefully.

Si Moli said that the bandits in Pingde County would be eliminated soon and asked her not to worry.

But Shen Qingyun always had some bad premonitions in her heart. She originally thought that Si Moli was only going to investigate the case Su Yiyi mentioned, but she didn't expect to participate in the suppression of bandits. She was worried for a moment. She was afraid that the third prince and others would not Sitting there waiting for death, in order to prevent the unjust case from being exposed, he will definitely do something to stop him.

And just as she expected, the third prince was already very uneasy because of Si Moli's suppression of the bandits.

"Trash, these trash!" Si Qi walked around anxiously in the prince's residence: "Can I still contact the magistrate of Pingde County?"

The man in black kneeling on the ground lowered his head: "I can't contact you. I'm not doing well in my humble position. Please punish me by the prince."

With a bang, Si Qi kicked over the wooden chair next to him and roared loudly: "Punishment? What's the use of punishing you now! So many people have been lost, and you haven't even hurt King Li's hair. I’ve kept you for so long, I might as well have fed you dogs!”

Hearing this, the man in black lowered his head a little.

The county magistrate has been out of contact for a long time. Apparently something happened and King Li blocked the news. This is good, he thinks nothing can be found.

As long as there is no definite evidence to prove that he is related to this matter, once the limelight is over and he makes some political achievements, he will still be the dominant third prince in the court.

Unexpectedly, the emperor not only sent King Li to investigate the case, but also asked him to assist Zhao Zhong in suppressing the bandits. This would be troublesome.

Zhao Zhong is his man, and the purpose of his trip this time is to kill all these gangsters without leaving a single person alive. However, with King Li interfering, once he brings people back for interrogation, it will be endless.

"Tell Zhao Zhong that those bandit leaders must be killed no matter what!" Si Qi showed cruelty in his eyes and handed a bottle of poison into his hand: "Let Zhao Zhong find an opportunity to give this medicine to King Li. .”

The man in black was only stunned for a moment, then took the medicine, bowed and retreated.

Si Qi stood alone in the room and recalled what the Queen had said before: "Why do you think the Emperor suddenly came to the Third Prince's Mansion? It was not the arrangement of Prince Li! Do you know how long I have been begging the Emperor for the marriage in the Taifu Mansion?" Did you just ask for it? The engagement is broken off like this! You can’t keep that woman, otherwise no noble girl would dare to marry you!"

After that, Wen Niang was executed.

A deep sense of unwillingness emerged in Si Qi's heart.

When he was still young, he couldn't protect the woman he loved. Unexpectedly, now that he has the power, he still can't protect his woman.

Si Moli, it's all because of him.

Si Qi sneered and ordered: "Go to Duke Shen's mansion and submit a message to make an appointment with Miss Shen tomorrow."

He knew that Shen Qingyun had something different about Si Moli. Although Si Moli tried his best to hide it before, he had never seen him be so attracted to any woman in so many years.

It just so happened that I used to dislike Shen Qingyun because she grew up in the countryside, but now it seems that her temperament and talent are not inferior to those of noble ladies in the capital. The most important thing is that she is Han Rou's daughter. If she marries her, she will have the military strength and power of the general's palace. His financial resources are not inferior to those of Ji Qianxue.

After breaking off the engagement, although the emperor did not allow him to return to the court, he did not confine him to the palace again.

Just as she was thinking about how she should behave tomorrow so that Shen Qingyun would admire her, the servant replied: "Your Highness, Miss Shen said that she is inconvenient and declined your kindness."

Si Qi's face suddenly darkened.

If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty. In this case, he went directly to the palace and found the queen.

When the queen heard this, she also felt that Shen Qingyun was a good one, but said: "Your Majesty, if you marry Shen Qingyun, you are not thinking about Shen Qingyun, right? They don't look alike."

"Mother, I have long lost interest in such contemplation." Si Qi was a little impatient, recalling the faces of the two sisters in his mind.

If we exclude everything else, Shen Sisi is really not as good as Shen Qingyun. Shen Qingyun is like a blooming white peony flower, delicate and charming yet cold and noble.

Thinking of this, Si Qi became even more satisfied with Shen Qingyun.

"But Shen Qingyun is still in the period of filial piety, so this is a bit troublesome." The queen thought for a moment and felt that something was wrong.

But Si Qi thought it didn't matter: "Let's finalize the marriage first, and the General's Office will have to stand by my side. I can just wait two years before marrying her. At worst, I'll accept two concubines first."

The Queen nodded. Shen Qingyun grew up in the countryside and had to learn many rules. The delay was more than a year.

The two discussed it for a while, and the queen took advantage of the emperor's arrival to have a meal. She looked worried and in a daze, and the emperor called her several times without hearing her.

"What's going on today? Is there anything that's bothering you?" the emperor asked anyway.

The queen was overjoyed, with a bit of shyness on her face: "To be honest with the emperor, I am worried about the prince's marriage. Now that we have broken off the engagement with the Taifu Mansion, and the prince has reached his age, it is really difficult to decide on the choice of the concubine. "

When the third prince was mentioned, the emperor snorted coldly and did not answer.

"Your Majesty, I know that your son has acted inappropriately, and he deserves it. But after all, he was born to me in ten months of pregnancy, so how can you not worry about him?"

After saying this, the emperor's expression softened slightly.

The queen continued: "Actually, I have been thinking of someone recently. I wonder if the emperor thinks it is suitable?"

"Who is it?" The emperor put down his chopsticks and looked at the queen.

The Queen smiled: "It's Shen Qingyun from Duke Shen's Mansion. That child is a good one, with good character and appearance. Didn't the Emperor praise her for her profound piano music before?"

The emperor was slightly startled, but the expression on his face did not change at all. It was unclear whether he agreed or disagreed: "If I remember correctly, then the Shen family daughter is still in the period of filial piety."

"Yes, but the marriage can be decided first. It is also appropriate for the emperor to calm down and make some political achievements in the past two years." The queen smiled and seemed to have considered the matter thoroughly.

The emperor pondered for a while and then said calmly: "Let's discuss this matter later. It's better to wait until the limelight of this period has passed."

The queen stopped trying to persuade her. She knew that talking too much would only offend the emperor, but she still felt a little disappointed. It seemed that the emperor was still angry at his son.

The informant in the harem immediately sent a message to Si Moli, Your Majesty, someone wants to pry away your princess!
