Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium

Chapter 15: Reality’s blow can only be stronger but not the most severe

"Are you saying that my father already knew that today's events could only end like this?"

On the way back to the princess's mansion, Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu rode in the carriage of the princess's mansion.

Tang Zongjiu saw Shen Qing's changes and efforts in the past few days. He decided to get acquainted with the well-known Princess Shu Ning of Xi State again, and naturally he would not use his previous attitude full of hatred.

"Yes, the emperor is using these people to practice with you. He naturally knows that he cannot ask more things from these people." Tang Zongjiu continued, "There is no point in using torture to extract confessions. The other party can do it in this situation. I asked a few people to change their stories, obviously using unconventional means, so I am not afraid that the emperor will torture them to extract confessions."

"You mean, I performed well in front of my father today?"

Shen Qing understood Tang Zongjiu's words. In the past, they were all denials, doubts and prejudices. The voice of affirmation was extremely precious to Shen Qing.

What's more, this must come from Emperor Wan Zhen and Tang Zongjiu.

Suddenly, Shen Qing's shining eyes came into Tang Zongjiu's eyes.

Shen Qing's eyes were very beautiful, and they were even more dotted with stars at this moment, like crystal balls glowing with light.

This kind of Shen Qing made Tang Zongjiu feel very much like the time when he got full marks in the exam and received praise from his master.

"Yes, the Emperor is very satisfied with your performance today." Tang Zong said in wine, "Why else would the Minister of Dali Temple always stand by your side? The Emperor has always believed in you from the beginning."

"Great!" Shen Qing showed a heartfelt smile, with the unique charm and beauty of a girl.

"Has your father found the person behind the scenes?" Shen Qing asked.

"I don't know." Tang Zongjiu shook his head.

The person behind the scenes reacted extremely quickly to these things these days, and even had a good grasp of Emperor Wan Zhen's psychology towards Shen Qing and his marriage to Shen Qing.

Once Emperor Wan Zhen was happy, even if he knew someone was causing trouble, the matter could only end here.

As soon as the other party made a move, he not only stopped the loss in time, but also tried to please Emperor Wan Zhen in disguise, which showed that the other party was thoughtful.

The most critical point is that the other party knows that "Shen Qing is growing", and currently in the entire Xi Kingdom, there are only a handful of people who know about this matter and can calculate it to this extent.

But Tang Zongjiu never forgot that this person's initial target was the Tang family and himself.

Seeing that Tang Zong was silent while drinking, Shen Qing also fell silent for a moment.

She tried hard to recall what happened in her previous life, but she was too stupid to see the twists and turns in her previous life. Moreover, many memories seemed to be covered by clouds and mist, and she could not remember them at all.

Shen Qing remained silent and Tang Zongjiu remained silent, so the carriage naturally became silent for a moment.

The matter of harmony and separation still failed, and Emperor Wan Zhen did not agree. Should she "visit the thatched cottage three times"?
"Don—"

Before Shen Qing finished speaking, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.

"Who?!" The guard's scolding voice came from outside the sedan chair.

"Princess Shu Ning was so favored that she destroyed my Luanxiang Garden and killed Fang Jixiang just because she was dissatisfied with Fang Jixiang's service. It is hard to tolerate the laws of heaven and the law!"

Shangguan Lan's miserable voice echoed throughout the streets of the imperial city.

Shen Qing's originally slightly sunny mood was shaken by these words.

"Su Fang?" Shen Qing called.

"Princess, Shangguan Lan dragged a wooden board to stop our sedan. There seemed to be a wrapped corpse on the wooden board." Su Fang's worried voice came from outside the sedan.

"Fang Jixiang has been with Princess Shu Ning for so many days, with no credit but hard work, but now her body is separated and she has no place to bury her. Princess Shu Ning is so cruel!" Shangguan Lan continued to cry.

"Shut up!" The guards of the Princess Mansion surrounded the people, but they did not dare to strike harshly, lest Shen Qing be suspected of murder.

For a time, more and more people came in after hearing the words, and everyone started talking.

"Princess Shu Ning is really cruel and ruthless." "Not only is she ruthless, but she also cares about human life."

"Not to mention his disorderly conduct, he actually kills people just because he says they will. This is simply lawless!"

Shangguan Lan was surrounded by guards, with Fang Jixiang's shroud beside him, and Fang Jixiang's body lying inside.

Things had reached this point, and he had to risk everything.

"In broad daylight, with everything clear, is the princess going to kill someone and silence her?"

Tang Zongjiu frowned as he listened in the sedan chair. He wanted to go out, but was stopped by Shen Qing.

"You and I will be reconciled in the future, and it's not easy to get involved too much now. This is my fault, and I will do it myself."

After saying that, Shen Qing's eyes flashed with sharpness, he turned around, opened the sedan curtain, bent down and walked out.

"Princess, why are you out here!" Su Fang was a little anxious.

"It's okay." Shen Qing patted Su Fang's hand and said comfortingly.

Shangguan Lan's poisoned eyes were always staring at the movements of the princess's sedan chair. The moment Shen Qing lifted the curtain, he vaguely saw a figure, his heart was filled with confusion, and he immediately continued to shout.

"What auspicious misfortune. You devoted yourself to Princess Shu Ning. Every time the princess came to visit, you served her with all your heart. Who would have thought that a princess would take his life if he didn't take good care of him. Now that your body is still cold, the princess will immediately marry someone else. You look so good!"

Shangguan Lan slapped the wooden cart containing Fang Jixiang's body, and her crying voice became louder and louder, as if she was afraid that the people around her would not know how evil Shen Qing was.

Shen Qing's figure appeared in everyone's eyes amidst the denunciations.

Princess Shu Ning was dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, so noble and dazzling in the sun. She stood upright in front of everyone with an air of disdain.

The sunlight poured down on her slender figure, reflecting her grace and dignity.

The moment she appeared, just standing there made everything around her lose its luster.

Everyone, even if they were talking a moment ago, couldn't help but kneel down and salute when they saw Shen Qing.

"Princess, stay safe. Your Highness, the Princess, is a thousand years old."

In fact, the State of Xi did not strictly practice bowing. In the entire imperial city, all the people who came out were high-ranking officials, either the young master of a certain family or the young master of this family. If every time you meet someone from the royal family, you have to kneel down in such a big way. Li, that’s too tiring.

But at this moment, the common people were frightened by Shen Qing's aura, and they seemed to subconsciously want to salute Shen Qing.

"No need to be polite, just be on your own." Shen Qing said.

After saying that, Shen Qing's eyes shot to Shangguan Lan.

Shangguan Lan pounced towards Shen Qing, but was stopped by the guards.

"Your Highness Princess, you can't just kill Jixiang like this. How can Jixiang ever feel sorry for you? Jixiang will die with his eyes open!"

Shen Qing's eyes were cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Fang Jixiang is dead?" Shen Qing asked.

"Even now, Princess Shu Ning, you still deny it! Jixiang died at the hands of your guards!" Shangguan Lan pointed at Fang Jixiang's body and said decisively.

"Then why don't you go to Dali Temple to report to the official?" Shen Qing asked again.

"Princess Shu Ning, you have the power to cover the sky with one hand. Jixiang is just a tavern in the district, but you only have a life. You will kill if you want. Only by exposing your crime in front of the people of the imperial city and telling the world, can Jixiang die a worthy death!"

Shangguanlan said it eloquently.
