After Shen Yunshu left, Xin Heng came to Xiao Jingzhi and said, "Your Highness obviously did this so that Prince Qi could give up the marriage with the General's Mansion. Why didn't he tell Miss Shen the truth?"
Xiao Jingzhi rubbed the tea cup in her hand, "The truth is not important. What is important is to help her resolve the marriage between Shen Yunjue and Lin Jinran."
Before this, the emperor not only sent people to investigate him and Shen Yunshu, but even asked them face to face.
He had to do this in order to convince the emperor that there was no relationship between him and Shen Yunshu.
At the moment, letting Shen Yunshu hate him and keeping a distance from him is the greatest protection for her.
"My prince has done so much for Miss Shen, but Miss Shen may not appreciate it." Xin Heng just felt sorry for Xiao Jingzhi.
"I don't need her to be grateful." What Xiao Jingzhi did was not to make Shen Yunshu grateful to him.
Even if Shen Yunshu never knows, as long as Shen Yunshu achieves his wish, he will feel at ease.
Xin Heng frowned.
At the same time, he was also curious about what exactly Shen Yunshu gave Xiao Jingzhi to make Xiao Jingzhi do this for Shen Yunshu?
At the same time, Song Xiuche was sent back to Prince Qi's Mansion by Yang Wenbing, smelling of alcohol.
King Qi was sitting in the courtyard and saw the drunk Song Xiuche. The air pressure around him was extremely low.
"You go back first." King Qi raised his hand and sent Yang Wenbing away.
Yang Wenbing didn't dare to stay for a moment longer. After Ma Liu handed Song Xiuche to Ma Xiu, he ran away.
"Father, you are waiting for me here." Song Xiuche smiled playfully at King Qi with the strength of the wine, "One more, don't leave anyone today, drink to your heart's content."
"Have you had enough trouble?" King Qi couldn't bear it and scolded angrily.
Song Xiuche's drunken eyes were blurry, "You just drank some wine, how could you get so angry?"
King Qi was so angry that his head hurt so much that he quickly ordered Butler Wang to bring a basin of cold water and poured it all over Song Xiuche.
The cold water suddenly woke Song Xiuche up.
"The dignified prince spends all his time living and drinking, how dignified is he!"
In the past, King Qi would never have reprimanded Song Xiuche, but now the situation in the court has changed too quickly, and if someone accidentally slips his tongue, everything will be lost.
Song Xiuche wanted to be coquettish with King Qi and let the matter pass, but when he saw King Qi looking so angry, he knew that this time he was on the receiving end of a gun.
"I'm sorry, father, but I don't dare to do it anymore."
King Qi sighed and sat back on the stone bench, "The emperor intends to grant marriage to Shen Yunjue in order to cut off the general's retreat, so don't go looking for Shen Yunshu again in the future."
Song Xiuche became anxious when he heard this, "Father, didn't you ask my child to have more contact with Shu'er two days ago? My child is also thinking of ways to do this. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
He used Shen Yunshu before, so he didn't have any feelings for Shen Yunshu at all.
But since he had an unpleasant quarrel with Shen Yunshu and separated from Shen Yunshu, he gradually realized that he had enjoyed being envied by the princes and noble sons of the capital when he was with Shen Yunshu before.
He even thought that if Shen Yunshu left him, no one would accept her.
But recently he realized that even if Shen Yunshu was abandoned by him, there were still many people who were thinking about her.
The feeling of dissatisfaction emerged spontaneously in his heart, and his belief in getting Shen Yunshu back became stronger.
"It's not that my father wants to change his mind, but the general's office will lose the emperor's trust in the near future, and maybe even lose the power in his hands."
Without the power of the General's Mansion, it lost its use value to King Qi.
What's more, at this juncture when the emperor was interested in cutting down the vassal vassal, it was impossible for him to take risks.
"No, General Shen has great power in his hands, and the Emperor is only afraid of the General's Mansion. How could it not be worth using?"
Song Xiuche actually didn't know whether he said this because he didn't want to lose the opportunity to contact Shen Yunshu, or because he really didn't want to give up on winning over the General's Mansion.
"It is precisely because the emperor is afraid that he has become a thorn in everyone's side."
If someone took advantage of the emperor's thoughts to attack the general's mansion, King Qi thought that the emperor would definitely turn a blind eye.
Song Xiuche clenched his fists, "But I don't want to give up on Shen Yunshu."
King Qi also lost his mind when he saw Song Xiuche's appearance.
He turned away and said, "When you find a better marriage, my father can consider letting you accept Shen Yunshu into the palace."
Suddenly, Song Xiuche saw hope again, "Do you really mean what you said?"
"When did my father lie to you?" King Qi looked serious.
"Okay, I will definitely find a partner who is more beneficial to the palace." Song Xiuche said with rare firmness.
Maybe this time it’s because I have something I want more.
In order to prevent Song Xiuche from getting cold, King Qi asked Ma Xiu to send him back to his room without saying a few words.
After Song Xiuche walked a few steps, he turned back and asked King Qi, "By the way, father, how is Shen Qingyin?"
"Recuperate in the side hospital."
"General Shen always loves her, will it bring trouble to the palace?" Song Xiuche couldn't help but worry.
The reason why he got close to Shen Qingyin in the first place was precisely because he grasped this point.
Prince Qi snorted coldly, "What can Shen Chenghai do if she knows about it? She is already a member of the palace, and Shen Chenghai has no right to interfere."
Song Xiuche was still frightened, "Father, do you think the child in her belly is really the child's?"
King Qi walked up to Song Xiuche and patted him on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter whether it is yes or no. What is important is that this child will not be born safely."
He saw the worry in Song Xiuche's eyes, "Don't worry, being a father will not give Shen Chenghai a chance to hold him accountable, and the most important thing for you right now is to consider your real marriage."
"My child understands."
Song Xiuche didn't feel any guilt towards Shen Qingyin, just because he felt that he had deliberately approached him and Shen Qingyin had seduced him first for the sake of power.
People like Shen Qingyin who are not worthy of elegance are not worthy of mercy at all.
And now Shen Qingyin, who was in the side courtyard, was crying all day long.
There is nothing here except a shelter.
The food delivered by the palace every day was either leftovers or vegetarian. She had never eaten meat since entering the palace.
And she would make a big fuss at the courtyard door every day, just in the hope that Song Xiuche could hear her.
She expected that as long as she saw Song Xiuche, Song Xiuche would definitely not let her suffer such injustice.
Qiu Ju saw Shen Qingyin standing at the door in a daze again, so she went to make the bed and arrange the clothes she took from the general's mansion.
But when she was packing her clothes, she found a letter.
She thought it was what the general left for Shen Qingyin, so she quickly gave it to Shen Qingyin, "I know that the general is not willing to let the young lady suffer."
Even Shen Qingyin suddenly saw hope. This might be the backup plan Shen Chenghai had left for her.
But when Shen Qingyin saw the contents of the letter, he said angrily: "Shen Yunshu, I'm going to kill you!"
