After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 191 Chapter 191
As soon as the words fell, Sheng Tingye's fingertips turned white while holding the scroll.

But on the surface, he was so cold and unreasonable.

"No way."

"Since you are already mine, if the queen mother wants to do something, you might as well bring her a message and let her weigh it."

Hearing this, Sheng Tingzhao's eyes darkened.

"What do you mean?"

Sheng Tingye put down the book, and wrote lightly: "The queen mother gave her cedar poison, do you know what it is?"

Sheng Tingzhao's eyes were filled with bewilderment.

Sheng Tingye sneered: "Of course, we don't hear what's going on outside the window, and the Fifth Highness lives in the sun with a pure mind and wanton, how can we know such dregs."

These words deeply stabbed Sheng Tingzhao's self-esteem.

He clenched his hands into fists, and the smile on his face could no longer be maintained: "Third Brother!"

Everyone said that he was a baby lump held in the hands of the queen and the Wang family.

He lives under the protection of their wings, and has never been exposed to the swords and winds outside.

As long as he wants, he doesn't need to do anything, and there will always be someone holding his hands in front of his eyes.

But that was before.

As he grew older, he felt more and more like a caged bird.

Especially in his marriage, he had no control over him and became a puppet manipulated by his queen mother and the Wang family.

He also wants to show his ambitions and prove his ability.

He also wanted to be like Sheng Tingye, go into battle to kill the enemy and make great achievements in battle; he would go in and out of the court and stir up the situation with his own power.

But the protection of the queen and the royal family has instead become his shackles and shackles.

Sheng Tingye's words undoubtedly stepped on his sore feet.

But Sheng Tingzhao is not impulsive and irritable.

He took a sip of tea, quickly suppressed it, and looked up at Sheng Tingye the next moment.

"Third brother, I saw the scene on the frozen lake yesterday."

He hadn't gone far at that time, when he saw the figure of Yang Jiong, Sheng Tingjing's personal guard. They were sneaking around, obviously nothing good happened.

He kept an eye out, walked away on purpose, and came back from another small road.

From a distance, he saw the scene where his second brother Sheng Tingjing was threatening Shen Qingci while holding the black iron.

Although the distance is a bit far, their conversations are not very clear, but they can be roughly guessed.

In addition, his second brother had such virtues.

He was still hesitating whether to come forward, but Shen Qingci had already thought of a way to "save himself".

But, that approach was too shocking.

Not only the client Sheng Tingjing, but even the bystander Sheng Tingzhao never imagined that she would ignore Sheng Tingjing's life and death and use him as a stepping stone to kick him into the ice hole!
If this matter got out, Shen Qingci would surely die.

He could have taken revenge by directly exposing Shen Qingci's lies in public, and by the way stomped on his pious second brother.

But he didn't know what was wrong with him, so he kept it a secret.

With a smile on his face, Sheng Tingzhao said without hesitation: "Sister-in-law San is very skilled."

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye didn't understand anything.

There was a gleam in his eyes, but his tone was still cold and he said: "Even if you tell it, who will believe it?"

"not to mention."

Having said that, Sheng Tingye raised his eyes and looked over, his tone was cold but extremely firm: "I will protect her."

Sheng Tingzhao was startled for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

"It seems that the third brother has known about it for a long time. It is worthy of the deep love between husband and wife."

When he said the last few words, Sheng Tingzhao's tone was almost gnashing his teeth.

When he thought of seeing Shen Qingci's reaction to Sheng Tingjing yesterday, it really won his heart.

The moment she flew towards Xiao Jiu on Sheng Tingjing, that startling glance made Sheng Ting Zhao's heart flutter.

He had never had such a strong and urgent urge to take it for himself.

For her, he is determined to win.

Even if she is his third sister-in-law!

This thought was like a seed, after it took root in his heart, it soared wildly and uncontrollably in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Sheng Tingye, who was like an iceberg, say something to protect her, Sheng Tingzhao felt even more panicked.

He sneered: "But as far as I know, the third brother refused to marry even at the expense of his father's face, but now he treats the third sister-in-law so much... How much truth is there?"

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye's brows were cold, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth: "That's also a matter between our husband and wife."

It's not your turn to be an outsider.

Sheng Tingzhao choked for a moment, and he stared at Sheng Tingye: "In other words, the previous refusal of marriage was originally done by the third brother on purpose to show to the queen mother."

See Sheng Tingye noncommittal.

Sheng Tingzhao was laughed out of anger. "It seems that the queen mother is right."

"Third brother's wings are stiff, and he won't take her seriously anymore."

No matter what he said, he didn't care at all.

On the opposite side, Sheng Tingye looked as usual. He took a sip of tea before he said leisurely, "Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about yourself."

"Not to mention that your mother has not given up on your marriage with the Qin family, as far as I know, you may not be willing to marry Qin Jiaojiao."

Sheng Tingzhao couldn't help frowning: "The Qin family is already engaged to the Yao family, and this matter has not changed."

Before he finished speaking, Sheng Tingye smiled lightly and gave him a meaningful look.

"It's just a marriage engagement. It's not the first time the royal family has done such a thing as snatching a marriage."

"Besides, the queen mother is also from here."

After finishing speaking, Sheng Tingzhao suddenly thought of something, his body froze, "You mean..."

No matter how well protected he was, he had heard some rumors.

Back then, their mother and empress had originally appointed the third son of the first emperor, who would later become Prince Jing, instead of the seventh son of the emperor, their father.

I don't know what went wrong, but in the end she married their father, and followed their father all the way from the Seventh Prince's Concubine, to the Crown Prince's Concubine, and finally became the Empress of the Central Palace.

And that King Jing, originally the most beloved son of the late emperor, was the one who had the highest voice to be crowned prince in the court at that time.

It's a pity that the good marriage was let go, and he suddenly contracted a serious illness, so he could only be raised in the mansion with medicine.

In the second year of their father's reign, the people disappeared.

It's just an old story, and few people mentioned it anymore. It was only today that Sheng Tingye talked about the royal family snatching, and Sheng Tingzhao suddenly thought of it.

Seeing Sheng Tingzhao's astonishment, Sheng Tingye put down the teacup, "So, instead of wasting time with me, you might as well think about your own affairs."

He didn't want to help Sheng Tingzhao.

In this matter, he is only out of selfishness.

He knew Shen Qingci's thoughts towards Qin Jiaojiao, so he added fuel to the fire and said provocatively: "Or, do you think it's not bad to marry that Qin Jiaojiao?"

Sheng Tingzhao was really irritated.

He suddenly put down the teacup, his face darkened a bit, but in the end he suppressed his anger, stood up and clasped his fists at Sheng Tingye and said, "Thank you, third brother, for reminding me."

"For a long time, if there is nothing else, I will go back."

Sheng Tingye glanced at him lightly.

His younger brother is more calm than before.

The tension in the study room did not affect Shen Qingci and the Sixth Princess Sheng Yizhen in the back garden.

It was the arrival of a person that made Sheng Yizhen unhappy.

Qin Jiaojiao, General Qin's Mansion.

After all, she was worried about Shen Qingci's body, so Qin Jiaojiao came to visit him early in the morning.

In the end, I never expected to meet the sixth princess Sheng Yizhen.

Qin Jiaojiao used to share the same hatred with Jiang Yuwan, and she didn't have a good impression of Sheng Yizhen.

Even if the other party is a princess, she is used to wanton, and she is not spoiled like ordinary people.

Therefore, as soon as the two met in the garden, the atmosphere became a little tense.

Seeing that the bickering from yin and yang is about to rise to the level of fighting.

It was Shen Qingci who interrupted in time and sent away the two great Buddhas one after another before finally heaving a sigh of relief.

Originally, he wanted to keep his ears quiet, but unexpectedly, Zhou brought Shen Huiyao to the door again.

Since what happened to Shen Qingwan yesterday, Shen Qingci's attitude toward Zhou's changed a little bit.

But that's about it.

After all, it's her natal family, so it's not easy to turn her away.

Shen Qing asked Jiang He to invite him to the flower hall for tea.

Mrs. Zhou brought Shen Huiyao here to care about what happened in Chuxiu Palace yesterday.

As for why Shen Huiyao was brought along.

Mrs. Zhou took Shen Huiyao's hand, and said with an embarrassed expression: "Ah Yao did something wrong before, and he was led astray by the servant girl below, so he did such an excessive thing. Now the truth is revealed, and he really knows it." Wrong, I will bring him to apologize to you."

Shen Qingci tilted his head to look: "The truth is revealed?"

Shen Huiyao's face blushed, and he was embarrassed to meet Shen Qingci's eyes.

Under Zhou's push and push, he mustered up the courage to step forward, and said a little twistedly: "I heard what Second Sister and Cuixi said before, and thought you spoke ill of me in front of A Niang, and..."

"Anyway, I was wrong, I...I apologize to you...Big...Big Sister..."

After finishing speaking, Shen Huiyao's face was already red to the point of bleeding.

Shen Qingci didn't respond, but raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly explained: "It's thanks to the lord who called someone to thoroughly investigate the matter, and found out that girl named Cuixi. It was she who said some stupid things in A Yao's ear before, and provoked a relationship between A Yao and you. The relationship between them made him hit Chun Ya...and finally got into trouble like that."

"This matter also caused Cuixi and Ah Wan to confront each other..."

Zhou didn't have the face to say anything later.

Just like what Shen Qingci said before, from the beginning to the end, it was Shen Qingwan who provoked it inside.

As for the attitude of everyone in the Shen family, Shen Qingci has long since ignored it.

She just didn't expect that Sheng Tingye would be investigated by someone, and after finding out Cuixi, she would bring this matter up to the Shen family.

"A Ci, I'm sorry."

Zhou's head was lowered, not even daring to look into Shen Qingci's eyes.

"I was too used to Ah Wan before."

Facing the mother and son who came to apologize, Shen Qingci waved his hands, "It's all over, I didn't take it to heart."

Shen Qingci's generosity made them even more ashamed.

After Zhou said a few more words, she couldn't sit still, and even declined Shen Qingci's meal, and took Shen Huiyao away.

Before the awkward Shen Huiyao left, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Qingci, as if holding back his words, but in the end he didn't say anything and left with a blushing face.

Shen Qingci was a little tired after seeing three waves of guests in a row.

Although she didn't care about Shen Qingwan's matter at all, and didn't care about the Shen family's attitude, Sheng Tingye helped after all.

Shen Qingci felt it necessary to say thank you.

It happened to be noon at this time.

Shen Qing resigned from the study.

This is her first time here.

She thought that she would have to wait at the door for the guard to pass on such an important place, but she never thought that seeing her from a distance, the guard greeted her directly and welcomed her in.

Sheng Tingye was reading official documents on the desk by the window.

He raised his head when he heard footsteps, and met the eyes of Shen Qingci who had just stepped into the yard.

"My lord."

Shen Qingci held the identity of Concubine Ning, walked with dignified steps, and after seeing the ceremony, said very sincerely: "Thank you for the matter of the Shen family."

Sheng Tingye put down the booklet in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

"I said, between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."

His voice was as cold as ever, and this opening made Shen Qingci not know how to answer.

The furnishings in the study were just like his own, cold and without any warmth at all.

He was obviously still recovering from his injuries, and his body was still very weak, but the cold wind was blowing outside, but there was not even a brazier in this room, and even the window next to the desk was still wide open.

Shen Qingci originally held back his words, but was swept away by the air-conditioning, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

She was standing there, cramped, Sheng Tingye had already got up and raised his hand to close the window, blocking the cold wind blowing straight into the room.

"Is something wrong?"

As the window was closed, most of the coldness in Shen Qingci's body disappeared.

She nodded.

With Sheng Tingye's signal, she walked to the teacher's chair next to him and sat down.

"I remember, the prince wanted to find Li Huozhu before?"

That was the first time they met in the Jiang Family Cemetery.

At that time, Sheng Tingye and the man in black who had been killed by Zhang Zheng and others seemed to have come here for Li Huozhu.

Although the mention of this topic made Shen Qingci, who had lost his horse, extremely embarrassed, but it was a problem she had to face right now.

Her response was a long silence.

Shen Qingci also knew that Sheng Tingye was hiding something deep in his mind, so he was afraid that there were too many things involved in it and he didn't want to tell her.

Or, you have reservations only if you have concerns or doubts about her.

She hurriedly said again: "Your Highness also knows, I met Gu Qiuli later, and it was because I inquired about Li Huozhu's whereabouts that I made him entangle me."

"If the whereabouts of that person are not found, my heart will be restless for a day."

"Rather than just sit and wait for death, it's better to follow Li Huozhu to investigate, maybe we can find Gu Qiuli's identity and whereabouts."

After saying these words, Shen Qingci's hands that were originally on his knees and tucked under his sleeves were slightly clenched.

She was almost certain that the beads she picked up under the cage that day were glass fire beads.

But it was precisely because of this that she became more afraid to speak up.

She never dared to expose herself until she knew the purpose of these people, including Sheng Tingye, coveting the glass fire beads.

Not talking about detoxification, but just talking about why the bead was in her hand, and the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life, maybe it all involved her identity as Jiang Yuwan.

Shen Qingci didn't dare to gamble until he was fully sure.
