King Qi has never made a loss-making business, especially when it comes to Song Xiuche's marriage.
Although Shen Qingyin is still clear-headed, the benefits she can bring to Prince Qi's Mansion are too small.
"I have a way to stop Shen Yunshu from hindering the Crown Prince." Shen Qingyin said firmly.
King Qi had already asked Song Xiuche to marry a wife who would be more beneficial to the Qi Palace. Song Xiuche also contacted her, and Xia Caiyin was a good candidate.
But that day at Zeng Shangshu's Mansion, he was blocked by Shen Yunshu, which also caused Song Xiuche and Xia Caiyin to no longer have any contact with each other.
In this regard, King Qi has always been worried about Shen Yunshu.
Therefore, Shen Qingyin believed that if she could help deal with Shen Yunshu, King Qi would agree to her conditions.
Unexpectedly, King Qi smiled, "What if I want you to do everything you can to make Che'er and Shen Yunshu happy?"
Shen Qingyin's face suddenly changed, "Didn't you say before that the General's Mansion has lost its use value and that Shen Yunshu is no longer suitable to be the imperial concubine?"
"That's right." King Qi had thought before that the emperor intended to weaken the power of the General's Mansion, so if the Prince of Qi's Mansion married the General's Mansion, there would not be much benefit.
But too many things happened later. Shen Yunshu now entered the Imperial Hospital and attracted the emperor's attention. She had even treated the third prince, and many people wanted to win over her.
The utilization value of Shen Yunshu himself is enough to bring benefits to Prince Qi's palace.
"But Shen Yunshu is the person more suitable for Che'er."
After all, Shen Yunshu and Song Xiuche have been in contact before. I believe that Shen Yunshu's intelligence can better assist Song Xiuche.
Shen Qingyin pinched her handkerchief with dissatisfaction, "I can do the benefits that Shen Yunshu can bring to Prince Qi's Mansion!"
"You are just the adopted daughter of the general's palace, how can you still make Shen Chenghai an ally of the palace?"
"I have a way!" Shen Qingyin agreed.
Qi Wangrao looked at Shen Qingyin with interest, "If you really have the means, I can consider letting you become Che'er's concubine first."
After all, even if Shen Qingyin is out of the side courtyard now, she is still not even considered Song Xiuche's concubine.
"Okay." Shen Qingyin responded very confidently.
Anyway, this is good for King Qi.
But King Qi couldn't help but think that Shen Qingyin had a way to make Shen Chenghai conceal the truth about Shen Yunjue in front of the emperor.
If Shen Qingyin was just a foster daughter of the General's Mansion, how could she have such ability.
Is it possible that the fact that Shen Qingyin is the adopted daughter of the General's Mansion is not that simple?
That would be really interesting.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
After the emperor heard Eunuch Fu say that Xiao Jingzhi was here, he put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Let him come in."
"My brother joins the Emperor."
"Ping Shen." The emperor looked at Xiao Jingzhi, "The imperial concubine intends to bring the third child and Shen Yunshu together, what do you think?"
When Xiao Jingzhi heard the news, his breathing suddenly tightened.
Sure enough, the imperial concubine finally set her sights on Shen Yunshu.
But when he faced the emperor's questions, he still tried to keep calm, "I don't think this marriage is appropriate."
"I've heard many people describe the two of them as a very suitable couple. Why do you think it's inappropriate?"
Xiao Jingzhi's answer made the emperor a little surprised and a little nervous at the same time.
"If the imperial concubine thinks that Miss Shen has helped the third prince's health and fulfilled them, it will be unfair to both Miss Shen and the third prince."
Apart from this reason, Xiao Jingzhi also did not want Shen Yunshu to risk his life and get involved in the dispute between the crown prince.
He thought that even if Shen Yunshu was planning something bigger, she had never thought of taking advantage of her lifelong event.
"This is the first time I've heard that fairness matters in marriage." The emperor couldn't help but smile.
Perhaps it was Xiao Jingzhi's unique ideas that surprised the emperor, or maybe Xiao Jingzhi really didn't want Shen Yunshu to marry Xiao Linyou.
Xiao Jingzhi still looked serious, but did not answer.
"I have received your opinion, and I will consider it carefully."
But to be honest, the emperor did not hope that this marriage would come true. The imperial concubine's intention was undoubtedly to increase Xiao Linyou's power, and he knew it.
But if he really consummates this marriage, does it mean that what happened back then will come back again?
Deep down in his heart, it was unacceptable.
Xiao Jingzhi suddenly suggested, "Brother, why don't you ask the third prince what he thinks about the important matter of the third prince's marriage?"
The emperor always favored the prince, which made Xiao Linyou's temper very extreme.
If the emperor paid more attention to Xiao Linyou, he might be able to prevent some things from happening in advance.
"You're right."
After hearing what Xiao Jingzhi said, the emperor really felt that he should ask Xiao Linyou for his opinion. If Xiao Linyou had thoughts about power, he could take precautions in advance.
Thinking about it, the emperor looked at Xiao Jingzhi again, "The headless case three years ago must have involved many people. How do you think I should deal with it?"
Xiao Jingzhi raised her eyes and looked at the emperor expressionlessly, "Since the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation, no matter how much is involved, just handle it according to the rules."
The emperor sighed: "If I could think like you, I wouldn't have so many worries."
It's just that the people involved in this case must not be simple. If he really follows the rules, how should he deal with the relationship between the senior officials in the court?
"My brother can help the emperor to come forward." Xiao Jingzhi heard what the emperor said, so she gave the emperor a step forward.
The emperor's sad face finally regained its color, "Since you have spoken, you will be in charge of this case."
He couldn't come forward to be this evil person, so it would be best to have Xiao Jingzhi come forward.
The reason why Xiao Jing is willing to become the emperor's sharp blade is because he wants to take advantage of more opportunities to protect Shen Yunshu.
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
The emperor picked up another memorial and said as if he didn't want to see the queen, "Let her in."
"I have met the emperor." The queen saluted the emperor, and then saw Xiao Jingzhi beside her, "The king of war is also here."
Xiao Jingzhi nodded to the queen.
The emperor lowered his head and asked, "Why are you here, queen?"
"Your Majesty, my concubine has selected several candidates for Major General Shen's marriage. Please take a look at them." The queen handed the list to Eunuch Fu.
Xiao Jingzhi, who was originally planning to say goodbye to the emperor and leave, immediately gave up the idea after hearing this.
The emperor looked through the roster sent by the queen, but his face was still heavy.
"I think that according to General Shen's temperament, Chu Lianyu is the most suitable."
Chu Lianyu is the daughter of Mr. Zheng Chu, the Qin Tian Jian. The Qin Tian Jian is in charge of observing the celestial phenomena, and his position in the court belongs only to the emperor.
"However, I heard that Mr. Chu wants to have a son-in-law." The queen added.
In other words, if this marriage is arranged, Shen Yunjue can only marry into the Chu Mansion.
This also means that the General's Mansion is no longer in contact with Shen Yunjue, which can indeed help the emperor solve his constant headache.
