Prince Chen's Mansion.
Jun Beichen was watering the flowers in the yard.
Ling Qing suddenly ran over in a hurry, "Your Highness, something big has happened!"
Jun Beichen slowly raised his head and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"The spies in the palace said that His Majesty is determined to accept Miss Shen as his concubine!"
"..."
Jun Beichen paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly.
Continue to lower your head and water the flowers calmly.
Seeing his reaction, Ling Qing was a little puzzled, "Your Highness, aren't you in a hurry?"
Jun Beichen didn't even raise his head, "Why are we in such a hurry?"
"His Majesty wants to make Second Miss Shen his concubine!" Ling Qing became more and more nervous as he spoke, "I heard that he has to jump through several levels and make her a noble concubine directly!"
"My subordinates also heard that the Queen was so anxious in the Yunlan Palace that she tried every means to get rid of Miss Shen Er!"
"Your Highness, why are you not in a hurry? If Miss Shen Er really becomes a noble concubine, you will... just..."
Ling Qing hesitated to say the next words.
Jun Beichen smiled lightly and followed Ling Qing's words and asked, "Is there no chance?"
Ling Qing nodded, "No!"
Jun Beichen pursed his lips and smiled again, "If I remember correctly, you seem to have never liked that girl. Why are you suddenly worried about this matter today?"
"Huh? That's right!" Ling Qing reacted suddenly, "The emperor wants to make Miss Shen Er his concubine, why should I be nervous?"
Jun Beichen said nothing and slowly watered the flowers in the yard.
Ling Qing thought for a while, suddenly thought of something, and ran to Jun Beichen eagerly.
"Your Highness, I just remembered that you haven't spied on Miss Shen Er for a long time!"
Jun Beichen: "..."
Ling Qing didn't notice Jun Beichen's strange behavior and said to himself: "You know, after coming back from Yunchan Temple, His Highness has been paying attention to Miss Shen Er, and he has to spy on her every day. It has almost become a habit, hahaha... "
Jun Beichen: "…………"
"Why don't you speak, Your Highness? Do you feel a little uncomfortable since you haven't spied on Miss Shen Er for a while?"
The more Ling Qing talked, the more excited she became, laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
Suddenly, he seemed to begin to realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Looking up suddenly, he saw Jun Beichen staring at him motionless with a stiff face.
Ling Qing choked on her saliva and asked tremblingly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, did you say something wrong?"
Jun Beichen narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous meaning in his eyes.
"Come on, come on, please explain to me what 'peeping' means?"
Jun Beichen gritted his teeth and asked word by word.
With a "thump" sound, Ling Qing felt as if her heart was being held tightly by a hand.
"Your Highness, I made a mistake!" Ling Qing wailed and hugged Jun Beichen's thigh.
"That's not peeping. How could it be peeping? That's secret concern and love!"
"This subordinate is so mean. He can actually describe His Highness' concern for Shen Erxiao as voyeurism. This subordinate deserves to die!"
"Your Highness, please be careful in the future. Your Highness, please don't look at me like that. I am very afraid of Your Highness!"
Jun Beichen restrained his coldness and said, "Hmph, if you talk nonsense again, I will send you to Xiqi to open up wasteland!"
Ling Qing nodded quickly, "Your Highness, I understand my mistake and will never talk nonsense again!"
"Yes." Jun Beichen responded lightly.
Then he put down the shower in his hand and walked to his study room.
"Your Highness!"
Ling Qing quickly followed.
After walking into the study, Jun Beichen asked, "Girl, what's the fuss like these days?"
After driving Liu Rumei away, all matters in Yushang Tower temporarily fell on his head.
So much so that he was so busy that he had no time to secretly care and love Shen Liuli.
"It didn't go as far as it did. Mrs. Shen is back. She seems to care about the second young lady."
"Oh?" Jun Beichen paused, "How do you say that?"
Ling Qing counted on her fingers, "After returning to the Shen family, Mrs. Shen stood up for the second young lady in everything and did not allow the younger members of the Shen family to bully her. She even asked Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen to treat the second young lady better."
"Also, all kinds of food and clothing are provided with the best for the second lady. I heard that seven or eight maids were hired and sent to the second lady's yard!"
After saying that, Ling Qing smiled with a very pleased expression.
"Hehehe, it seems that the Shen family is not all bad. At least there are still people who are kind to the second young lady!"
Seeing Ling Qing's silly joy, Jun Beichen smiled sarcastically and asked, "Do you think this is good for her?"
Ling Qing paused and looked at Jun Beichen in disbelief.
"Your Highness, is this not good enough?"
"You have also seen how Miss Shen Er lived in the Shen family during this period. No one in the Shen family cared about her!"
"Now that she finally has an old man who cares about her, doesn't it mean that Miss Shen Er has survived?"
"If Mrs. Shen was really good to that girl, she should have taken action in the past three years or so!" Jun Beichen said calmly.
These words hit the nail on the head.
Ling Qing reacted instantly and opened her mouth so wide that she could almost swallow an egg.
"That's right! If you really cared about Miss Shen Er, you wouldn't wait until now!"
With Jun Beichen's prompting, Ling Qing saw through everything.
"Your Highness, I know! Mrs. Shen is trying to flatter her! She knows that the second young lady no longer trusts the Shen family, so she first pretends to be good to the second young lady Shen, and after gaining her trust, she will deal with the second young lady!"
"After Lord Shen was demoted, only Miss Shen Er could speak in front of His Majesty, so the purpose of her pleasing Miss Shen Er was to let her intercede for Lord Shen in front of His Majesty!"
Seeing how excited Ling Qing was, Jun Beichen nodded lightly, "I didn't expect you to have such a bright mind for once."
Ling Qing chuckled, "If it hadn't been for His Highness's suggestion, my subordinates wouldn't have thought of this. I'm afraid I would still think that Mrs. Shen is the only person in the Shen family who is really good to the second young lady!"
"Oh, Jiang is still old and spicy. I didn't expect Mrs. Shen to be so scheming."
Ling Qing thought of something, "Your Highness, do you think we should remind the second young lady, what if she is deceived by the Shen family and bought again?"
Jun Beichen shook his head, his eyes a little more playful.
"That girl is not as stupid as you think."
"Haven't you heard that saying? The calmer the lake surface, the more dark waves rise."
"Don't look at that girl. She's not making any noise now. I'm afraid she's already holding back her ultimate move."
Ling Qing listened and looked at Jun Beichen.
He asked seriously: "Your Highness, you and Miss Shen Er have only known each other for a few days. How do you know Miss Shen Er so well?"
Jun Beichen paused and rolled his eyes at Ling Qing, "Do you want to ask more questions about our palace?"
After being scolded by Jun Beichen, Ling Qing shut up.
After a while, Jun Beichen suddenly asked: "By the way, where is that girl now?"
"Back to Your Highness, Miss Shen Er went to Shadow Pavilion."
"Shadow Pavilion?" Jun Beichen frowned, "But I have already heard that that girl went to Shadow Pavilion to investigate something?"
Ling Qing shook his head, "Your Highness, my subordinates have already gone to inquire about this matter and have no clue!"
Hearing this, Jun Beichen frowned even more.
Ling Qing continued: "Logically speaking, we should know best when there is any movement in the Shadow Pavilion. But this time, except for Ning Jun and Lao Gui, no one in the Shadow Pavilion knew that Miss Shen Er was going to the Shadow Pavilion to investigate. whats the matter."
"So what is your guess?" Jun Beichen asked in a deep voice.
Ling Qing replied seriously: "Your Highness, if you can let Ning Jun and Lao Gui cover the sky with their hands to conceal the secrets of the whole pavilion, it must be the top secret of the Shadow Pavilion!"
Hearing this, Jun Beichen remained silent, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking about.
After a moment, Jun Beichen suddenly said, "Let's go to Shadow Pavilion!"
Ling Qing: "???"
Ling Qing was stunned, looking at Jun Beichen's wind-like back.
Your Majesty, why does he think so?
-
At this time, Shadow Pavilion.
Shen Liuli sat calmly on the chair and drank tea slowly.
Not far away from her, Ning Jun and the old ghost sat side by side, their eyes motionless as they looked deeply at Shen Liuli...
