After rebirth and breaking off the engagement, I supported the new king to ascend to the throne

Chapter 18 The Battle for Power
A smile appeared at the corner of Shen Chenbi's lips, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm just thinking that if our engagement is not as good as ours, let's just let it go!"

As soon as she said this, she felt the air around her became a little colder.

"Why bother with those gossips?" Ye Xuanchen felt a little annoyed.

Shen Chenbi shook his head, "No, I just think that the prince is a member of the royal family, and I am just a servant with no one to protect me. In terms of identity and status, Princess Zhaohua matches the prince!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, her chin was pinched by Ye Xuanchen.

Perhaps with a bit of annoyance, the strength of his hands was a bit strong, causing Shen Chenbi to take a breath of cold air.

As if he could see Shen Chenbi's pain, Ye Xuanchen softened a little and captured the lips he had been thinking about for a long time.

Soft and a little sweet, it feels surprisingly good!
Although the two were already married before, he was driven by the effects of the medicine at that time and had no special impression. Now that he was awake, a strange feeling rushed into his heart, which was particularly clear.

After about a few breaths, Ye Xuanchen let go of Shen Chenbi. His ears were a little red, but Shen Chenbi was invisible at this time.

Faced with the sudden touch, Shen Chenbi was in a daze, and suddenly realized something, and his cheeks instantly turned red.

"Don't mention this matter again in the future! I will never allow such a thing to happen!"

The words were like a whisper, but also like a promise to Shen Chenbi.

Shen Chenbi was a little confused. Could it be that Ye Xuanchen fell in love with him at this time?
"Why? Although I promised to help the prince, I am not as powerful as the princess after all. In comparison, Princess Zhaohua should be more useful to the prince!"

This question she had wanted to ask for a long time finally came out.

Ye Xuanchen paused for a few breaths before explaining, "Because I don't like Princess Zhaohua. I am already powerful, so why should I cling to the princess?"

This is also true, but if he doesn't like Princess Zhaohua, does he like her?
Shen Chenbi was a little confused, but she always felt that the reason was not that simple, and perhaps her father was involved...

Seeing that Shen Chenbi was silent, Ye Xuanchen thought she was tired and helped her rest.

He didn't know that Shen Chenbi was guessing his thoughts after thinking for a moment.

Although the two of them had exchanged invitations and made a marriage contract, after all, they had not yet carried the sedan chair and the matchmaker was getting married, so it was not suitable for Shen Shenbi to stay in the palace for a long time.

Ye Xuanchen could only send her to the Duke's Mansion in person.

At the door, Biyun had already been looking around and waiting. When she saw Shen Chenbi entering the house with a ribbon covering her eyes, her eyes were filled with self-blame, "It's all my fault. I should have followed the lady."

"What does it have to do with you!" Shen Chenbi laughed a little.

Soon, a circle of people gathered around her, all blaming themselves.

However, a figure not far away saw all this and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Hu, who was supposed to be punished in the ancestral hall, returned to her yard on the pretext of recovering from illness.

At this time, someone said that Shen Chenbi came back with a ribbon covering his eyes. Could it be that he was blind?If Shen Chenbi was fine, she would still be a little afraid. Now that Shen Chenbi is blind, why should she be afraid of her?

Mrs. Hu, who was resting in bed, could no longer lie down, so she quickly got up and rushed towards the main courtyard with her personal maid.

Mrs. Hu now lost her usual submissiveness, straightened her back and walked towards the accounting room.

At this time, the housekeeper should be checking the account books in the accounting room. Hu saw the housekeeper at a glance and hurriedly turned towards the housekeeper. "Auntie wants to check the account books, please bring out all the account books for the past few days!" The maid behind Mrs. Hu yelled at the housekeeper arrogantly.

The housekeeper glanced at Mr. Hu and said with a smile: "Auntie, please stop teasing me. Only the head of the family can check this account book."

"Butler, you must have seen clearly that after today, my aunt will be the head of the Duke's mansion." The maid received Hu's look and stepped forward to trick her.

However, the two of them looked like two fools to the housekeeper. The housekeeper turned around and went about his own business and ignored the two people.

The maid bit her lip and angrily added to her jealousy towards Mrs. Hu, "These naughty slaves don't take my aunt seriously at all. When my aunt takes over the family, I must punish this old thing severely!"

Mrs. Hu glared at the maid, and then the maid fell silent, shrank her head and hid behind Mrs. Hu.

This time, Mrs. Hu personally came forward to talk to the housekeeper, "Now that my master has passed away and my sister is missing, I am the only elder left in the family. If I don't stand up, I'm afraid we will be bullied by other people in the house." go."

Seeing that Mrs. Hu spoke in a kind tone, the housekeeper waved his hand and said, "Although the villain is not talented, you can see it these days. The eldest lady has taken care of the whole house in an orderly manner. Who dares to bully our duke?" Mansion?"

It's that little bitch again!Mrs. Hu pressed her back teeth, feeling a little resentful.

"Now that the eldest lady you are talking about has become blind, how can she be the head of the family?" the maid sarcastically said.

As soon as he said this, the butler's expression changed instantly.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from behind, "Tell me, who is the blind man?"

Shen Chenbi was seen standing steadily behind Mrs. Hu, without a trace of curvature at the corner of her mouth, which made the maid tremble in fright.

"This girl usually speaks straightforwardly. In fact, she doesn't mean anything malicious." Seeing this, Mr. Hu quickly excused the maid.

This maid entered the mansion together with Mrs. Hu. She is the most loyal to her, and she is also extremely protective of her on weekdays.

Shen Chenbi snorted coldly, "The one who knows is the maid, the one who doesn't know thinks he is also the master!"

Mrs. Hu did not answer, but stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Shen Chenbi's eyes, but Shen Chenbi didn't react at all.

"Originally, I heard people say that the eldest lady is blind. I didn't believe it, but now it turns out to be true. In this case, we still have to live this day. The eldest lady should take out the family seal as soon as possible." Hu said in her heart I have some confidence.

Shen Chenbi knew that Mrs. Hu was not a good person, but he didn't expect her to be so shameless.

She couldn't help but laugh angrily, "Who do you think the aunt should give the seal to?"

"Of course it's me. Those who deserve to die in the mansion should disappear. Now I am the only elder left in this branch. Who will give it to me if not me?" Mrs. Hu said matter-of-factly.

Hearing this, Biyun was angry at first, "How outrageous! How can your aunt care about the Duke's Mansion?"

Shen Chenbi sneered and shook her head. Even if her eyes were not exposed, one could still imagine her disdainful look.

"A lowly dancing girl actually wants to take control of the Duke's palace. She is so delusional!"

The word "dancing girl" irritated Mrs. Hu. What she hated most in her life was people mentioning her identity as a dancing girl. In the past, for the sake of Shen Chenbi's family, it was difficult for her to get angry.

Now that Shen Chenbi is blind, she has revealed her true nature, "What about the dancing girl? Back then, many princes and generals asked to marry me, and they gave me a lot of money just to make me smile."
