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

Shen Qingci's mood was not high during the rest of the journey.

The two of them traveled almost without sleep.

Even when passing through Qingzhou, Shen Qingci only inquired about the whereabouts of everyone in the Wang family without stopping.

The matter between Sheng Tingjing and the Zhang family has become known to the whole world.

With the death of Sheng Tingjing, the Zhang family was confiscated, and nearly a hundred families related to it, large and small, and some officials were implicated.

As the ancestral family of Princess An, the Qingzhou Wang family is certainly not immune.

In particular, the Zhang family also used the Wang family's merchant ships to do a lot of shameful things in the Qingzhou area.

The whole Wang family is confused.

As early as the Shengtingjing and Zhangjia Dongchuang incidents, the Wang family's home was confiscated and imprisoned.

The old lady of the Wang family, who was already seriously ill, left that day.

Jiang Yuzhi, who was finally dumped in Qingzhou by Sheng Tingjing under the guise of visiting a doctor, has also been sent to the Kyoto Tianlao.

The only one who fell into a good place was Wang Baozhu, the inflexible Ninth Girl of the Wang family.

Before Shen Qingci and Sheng Tingye went to Yunzhou, they almost thought of the outcome of the Wang family. At that time, she also gave Zheng a sum of money to help her escape from the Wang family.

The Zheng family is also quite upbeat, I don't know what method she used to ask Wang Qici, the head of the Wang family, to release her from the mansion, and Wang Baozhu was also drawn out of the family tree.

In this way, their mother and daughter will naturally not be implicated by the Wang family.

Zheng was smart and quick-witted. She opened an embroidery shop in Qingzhou, and the business became more and more prosperous. The life of mother and daughter became better and better.

It made Shen Qingci put down a worry.

They did not stay in Qingzhou, but took a boat all the way north. It took them another two days to reach Qiushui Town Pier.

This is the third time Shen Qingci has come to this place.

It's just that it's different from the panic and helplessness of the previous two times when he was coerced and chased away.

Who would have thought that one of the two people who wanted to capture her would become her husband, and the other would become her soul.

Shen Qingci could only sigh and lamented that things in the world are unpredictable.

When she walked down the pier, she thought of the confrontation with Gu Qiuli that night.

The murderous intent and sense of oppression that Gu Qiuli left her at that time is something she will never forget.

It won't happen again in the future, she did what she said at that time.

When leaving Qiushui Town, the white fish belly appeared in the east, and a new day began again.

Shen Qingci was already seasick, so they had to travel by water in order to travel.

But no matter how uncomfortable it was, she didn't want to slow down her progress because of herself.

Sheng Tingye persuaded her to take a rest in Qiushui Town, but she refused.

Because the situation in Beijing changes day by day, even if there is a delay, the situation may be irreversible.

Sheng Tingye couldn't wait, and she couldn't wait to see Qin Jiaojiao.

Lin Yunzheng was okay. The news he received said that his injury was no longer serious and he just needed time to recover.

But Qin Jiaojiao really worried Shen Qingci.

During the time they left Beijing, the Queen initially covered up Prince Ning's palace, saying that Prince Ning and Princess Ning were both seriously ill and closed the door to thank guests.

Later, the incident between Sheng Tingjing and Zhang Jiadongchuang occurred. The imperial court announced that Sheng Tingye had gone to Yunzhou to quell the rebellion under a secret order, but was eventually tricked by Sheng Tingzhao and Sheng Tingjing and fell into the glacier and died.

As for Princess Ning Shen Qingci, there is no official statement.

Therefore, Shen Qingci discussed with Sheng Tingye and asked Shen Qingci to show up first to test the attitudes of all parties.

She was in the light, and Sheng Tingye was in the dark.

Although this move undoubtedly became the target of many people, Shen Qingci was not afraid.

This time Sheng Tingye also followed her.On the one hand, she is strong enough, and on the other hand, he will be by her side to protect her.

There are also Liusu and the secret guards who escorted her from Chu State.

Although it is dangerous, it is also easier to get things done.

I still remember that when I left Kyoto, it was already late, but now it is dawn.

They went out for a long time this trip, but looking at the familiar scene in front of them, Shen Qingci had the illusion that he had a dream.

Finally home.

She wants to walk in the light, so naturally she can't avoid the saint.

After all, the saint knew about Shen Qingci's departure from Beijing with Sheng Tingye.

And I am also afraid that if I stay in Beijing for a long time, someone will see the clues first.

In order to catch him off guard, the two of them didn't even return to the palace, but went straight to the palace.

Although Sheng Tingye has been away from Beijing for a long time, he has kept spies everywhere in Beijing, even in the palace.

Everything that happens in the palace can be reported to him in time.

The affairs of several princes, the Zhang family, and the suddenly restless Yao family, any one of them would be enough to cause a headache.

Before entering the palace, they already knew that the saint had been resting directly in the imperial study room these days.

When Sheng Tingye was working at Dali Temple, he would take a secret passage every time he needed to avoid eye contact to see the saint alone.

The secret passage is on the periphery of the Second Entrance Palace. From there, it leads directly to a side hall in the southeast corner of the Imperial Garden.

No matter how many and powerful Sheng Tingye's informants are, they can't reach the imperial study room.

Therefore, someone is needed to deliver this news now.

And Shen Qingci, who chose to be in the open, naturally took on this task.

Before parting at the gate of the palace, Sheng Tingye put the jade hairpin that he had used to tie his hair on Shen Qingci's head.

"This is the royal father's token. If you wear this, you don't need to say anything, he will understand."

"For the rest, just follow what we discussed before, and he won't make things difficult for you."

After listening to his instructions, Shen Qingci nodded: "You should also be careful."

With that said, she was about to get off the carriage, but Sheng Tingye grabbed her wrist.

"Also, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching outside the royal study. Before you leave the palace, the news of your entry will spread throughout the major families. The Wang family was implicated by the Queen and Sheng Tingzhao, and this time they disappeared in front of the saint. If your face loses its momentum, you will definitely find a solution elsewhere.”

"The first person to come to test you must be the Wang family."

"I may delay for a while. If they invite you, you go first and I will arrive shortly."

"I also happen to have something I want to discuss with my grandfather."

Said it was a discussion, but Shen Qingci clearly felt the coolness in his tone.

Moreover, Sheng Tingye seemed to have thought of something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a bit of cold edge in his tone.

"Don't blame yourself."

Although Shen Qingci has never dealt with the Wang family, she has a general understanding of them.

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool who can be manipulated by others."

It must be that the two of them have been together for so long that they were separated for a short while. Sheng Tingye looked like her old father.

He warned her here and chanted her there, for fear that she would be wronged outside.

Knowing that Sheng Tingye was worried about her, Shen Qingci patted his chest and said, "Could it be that you still don't have confidence in me?"

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye couldn't help but think of her arrogant appearance, and he agreed, "That's not true."

"My wife is the most powerful."
