Chapter 8 The Covenant
To her disappointment, Ye Xuanchen's eyes did not waver at all.

"You saved me once. I am not indifferent to right and wrong, and I will try my best to protect you."

Also, although Ye Xuanchen looks ruthless, he is a courageous person.

Although he said nothing about his father, her intuition told her that this matter was inseparable from her father.

As for the truth of the matter, she still had to find out for herself.

"Okay, I promise you, but I have one condition!"

Shen Chenbi finally figured it out and his eyes became firm.

"What conditions?" Ye Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, which seemed to be a bit beyond his expectation.

He took action to protect her, but he actually had to agree to her conditions. It seemed like he was the one who suffered!

Shen Chenbi pondered for a moment, "You must have made many enemies in the capital. I can help you accomplish what you want, but you want to ensure the peace of the Shen family for a hundred years! We are husband and wife externally and allies internally. Your Majesty feels how?"

ally?Would she rather be an ally than a couple with him?
Ye Xuanchen felt a little unhappy and gave Shen Chenbi a cold look.

"You know that I have many enemies, but you still dare to marry me. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to protect you?"

For some reason, Shen Chenbi suddenly felt a little chilly.

"Your Majesty has great martial arts skills and is very resourceful. I believe that your Majesty can still protect the small Shen family." Shen Chenbi pretended to be calm and kept praising Ye Xuanchen's face.

Ye Xuanchen turned his hands into fists and pretended to cough lightly, "Okay, I promise!"

After that, he led the group of people and left in a hurry.

Shen Chenbi looked at Ye Xuanchen's leaving figure, clenched his hands into fists, and thought to himself: This time, I will never follow in the footsteps of my previous life!
This news seemed to have grown wings. Within two hours, rumors spread that Shen Chenbi had broken off her engagement with the prince and made an engagement with Ye Xuanchen.

There is naturally someone behind this who is adding fuel to the flames, but she has long been tired of this little trick.

As expected, it didn't take long for news to come from the palace that she was going to enter the palace.

Shen Chenbi calmly spread a layer of white powder on her lips, suppressing the original color of her lips, making her look a little haggard, and then she entered the palace leisurely.

I saw that in Zhaoyang Hall, the emperor and the queen were sitting upright, their faces seemed a little unhappy.

As soon as Shen Chenbi walked up to the two of them, he knelt down, with a tear hanging in the corner of his eye, "See you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Shen Chenbi looked unhappy, the emperor and the queen looked at each other and frowned, "Xu'er, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty and the Queen, but I have an unkind request. I don't know if I should say it or not." Shen Chenbi was still kneeling and did not get up.

"But it doesn't matter." The emperor was unhappy because of those rumors, but he didn't insist on letting Shen Chenbi get up.

Shen Chenbi's eyes turned red, and tears began to fall from her eyes, "Yesterday, my sister and His Highness the Crown Prince behaved intimately in front of everyone. Rumors spread that my daughter had taken advantage of my sister's engagement. I really feel aggrieved. "

"These are all rumors, Xu Er, don't pay attention to them, I will make the decision for you." The emperor's face was a bit angry, but he was still good at persuading.

Seeing this, the queen quickly handed the emperor a cup of tea, thinking about something in her mind.

Before the queen could speak, Shen Chenbi spoke again, "But now I have to consider the entire Shen family, so I boldly ask the emperor to cancel the engagement between my daughter and His Highness the Crown Prince in order to preserve my sister's innocence." As soon as these words came out. , the emperor and queen looked as if they had eaten flies.

But this time it was the prince's fault. They wanted to cause trouble, but there was no justifiable reason.

After a few breaths, the queen smiled softly and said, "Xu Er, don't worry. Your engagement with the prince has been made long ago. How can it be canceled so easily? If Xu Er is worried, just wait until Xu Er becomes the prince. As a concubine, just take Silk String as your concubine."

"What the Queen said is absolutely true. In this way, the reputation of your two sisters will be preserved." The Emperor nodded, expressing satisfaction with the Queen's idea.

Shen Chenbi felt a chill in her heart. She had long known that the queen would not let her go so easily.

She bit her lip lightly and seemed to have hesitated for a long time before saying: "As far as I know, His Highness the Crown Prince has long ignored his engagement with me and has become involved with his sister. He also asked the emperor to save my face. Cancel the engagement between my daughter and His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Presumptuous! Do you know what the crime of slandering the royal family is?" After hearing this, the queen couldn't help it at first, and her face was a little gloomy.

Shen Chenbi calmly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it forward, "My maid is not lying. This is the personal jade pendant of His Highness the Crown Prince. Why does it appear on my sister? Do you need me to explain clearly?"

Having said this, the emperor still didn't understand something, and then he glared at the queen.

The queen's face turned pale, and the look in her eyes was even more sinister. Now the emperor might even blame her.

The emperor sighed, "Forget it, this Shen Sixian can do such outrageous things and has such bad conduct, how can he be worthy of the position of Crown Princess? Even if the Crown Prince likes her, I will never agree to this marriage."

Shen Chenbi felt secretly happy, not because Shen Sixian's plan failed, but because the emperor agreed to cancel her engagement with Jun Chenmu.

The queen hid aside, not daring to express her anger, but she did not escape.

"The prince is also at fault in this matter. I ordered him to be grounded for half a month, so he can reflect on it!" After saying that, the emperor rolled up his sleeves and left.

The queen was left with a livid face.

Shen Chenbi wiped away her tears and followed the emperor to retreat. Even if the queen wanted to attack, she didn't give her a chance.

You are so good Chen Chenbi, I didn’t expect that I underestimated you before!
The queen looked at Shen Chenbi's leaving figure, her teeth itching with hatred.

When Shen Chenbi returned to the house, Shen Sixian, who had been whipped thirty times and was lying on the bed crying, was now waiting eagerly at the door of the house. The sun was really coming out in the west.

Shen Chenbi raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't see it, and was about to walk in with Biyun.

Unexpectedly, Shen Sixian came up to her without fear of death and stood in front of her. She didn't know where the wrong tendon was.

"Shen Chenbi, why don't you bow quickly when you see me?" Shen Sixian looked arrogant.

Seeing this, Biyun stepped forward and shouted softly, "How dare you, Miss is the head of the Shen family, what kind of cat or dog dares to be disrespectful to Miss?"

It turned out that she was waiting for her at the door of the house. Shen Chenbi had a look on his face, as if he was looking at an idiot. He glanced at Shen Sixian and passed her to leave.

Unexpectedly, Shen Sixian stood in front of her again and said, "You are so presumptuous! I am the future queen. Do you know what the crime of contempt for the royal family is?"

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Shen Chenbi's face, and she leaned close to Shen Sixian's ear and whispered: "As long as I am here, you will never be a queen in this life!"
