King Yueqing returned to the palace with a pot of flowers in his arms and threw the flowers to his subordinates upon entering.
The subordinate's quick eyesight and quick hands caught the flower, and he knew by the look on King Yueqing's face that things were not going well.
But now he knows one thing. If he tells the prince, he will be even more angry.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
King Yueqing lifted up his clothes and sat on a chair, saying concisely and concisely: "Tell me."
"My subordinate today discovered that Qi An left Dali Temple a few days ago. I originally wanted to take action, but the emperor sent someone to protect him."
He really didn't understand the emperor's thoughts. He just let Qi An go, but why did he also arrange for someone to protect Qi An?
Hearing this, Yueqing thought for a long time before remembering who Qi An was.
He wore a mask when he went to see Qi An that day. Qi An might not recognize him. There was no need for him to take the risk to kill Qi An, which would easily arouse the suspicion of the emperor's brother.
"Don't worry about this person. You have people keep an eye on Zhu Li. If he delivers something to the emperor, find a way to intercept him."
He didn't believe that the emperor brother was so free that he could send people to protect Zhu Li.
Zhu Li is a smart man, and he should not be stupid enough to tell the emperor brother about his visit to Zhu's Mansion.
After explaining the matter, King Yueqing got up and went to Shen Yu's yard.
Although Shen Yu was not killed by him, the situation was not much better.
She was locked in the house and not allowed to go out. She could only eat one meal a day. In just a few days, she lost a lot of weight.
"Squeak——"
Shen Yu sat on the ground numbly. She turned around slowly when she heard the sound of pushing the door. When she saw it was King Yueqing, she looked away and did not speak.
"Get up." King Yueqing said in a commanding tone: "Tomorrow I am going to attend the flower viewing banquet hosted by Mrs. Yao. Do you want to embarrass the palace by acting like this?"
I don’t know if Mrs. Yao is old and has trouble with her brain, but she actually invited Shen Yu to enjoy the flowers.
"Your Majesty, are you threatening me?" Shen Yu spoke slowly like a puppet, without any emotion in his tone.
She clearly understood that King Yueqing temporarily spared her life because of Mrs. Yao, but now to her, what is the difference between living one more day and one less?
"Are you qualified to threaten you?" King Yueqing leaned down and pinched her chin, but he didn't use any force.
After all, leaving traces will certainly arouse suspicion.
Shen Yu slapped his hand away and said nonchalantly: "You can kill me directly now."
Before, she had thought about taking Du Shuyan's mother's dowry and leaving the capital, but now she thought that her idea was too naive. How could she get out if King Yueqing locked her up like this?
"I don't want you to die now, so you'd better live well."
After King Yueqing finished speaking, he asked someone to bring the food in.
Shen Yu stood up and couldn't help but growl after looking at the food.
She sat down at the table, grabbed her chopsticks, and started to eat her meal hungrily.
"Your Majesty, Miss Du is here."
Shen Yu's hand paused, was it Du Shuyan?
King Yueqing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Du Shuyan to be brought in.
Du Shuyan came with Yang Wen.
"Your Majesty, Miss Du has something to ask Shen Yu, so I brought her here specially."
"You're welcome, Mr. Yang," King Yueqing smiled and made an invitation gesture, and he and Yang Wen left Shen Yu's house.
Du Shuyan closed the door and sat opposite Shen Yu.
"It seems like you're not doing well in the Wang Mansion. How about your arrogance in the Shen Mansion?"
Shen Yu put down her chopsticks and raised her eyelids to look at Du Shuyan, who had a bright face and looked at her with a half-smile.
"Are you here to see a joke?"
In the past, she often caused trouble for Du Shuyan, so she was not surprised that Du Shuyan came to see her and laugh at her.
"No," Du Shuyan looked around the room and stood up, "I am more interested in King Yueqing than watching your jokes."
Worried that Shen Yu would misunderstand the meaning, Du Shuyan continued: "It can also be said that you are interested in what King Yueqing did. You are very vindictive. King Yueqing did this to you, so you don't want to fight back?"
In fact, seeing Shen Yu's lifeless look, Du Shuyan was a little disappointed.
In her impression, Shen Yu is someone who bites her twice and comes back with two bites, but now Shen Yu is obviously waiting for death.
"So you are here to persuade me to help you get rid of King Yueqing?"
Shen Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, "I won't agree. Besides, wouldn't you be happier if I died?"
In fact, it's not that she hasn't thought about dealing with King Yueqing, but now she can't move forward and can't protect herself, let alone deal with King Yueqing.
"No, you will agree," Du Shuyan said firmly, "I hope you die, but sometimes death is a kind of relief. Otherwise, why didn't your mother just kill me?"
Since Shen Yu is now in the palace, she must make good use of Shen Yu to collect evidence of King Yueqing's disloyalty and eliminate the hidden danger of King Yueqing.
"Why do you think I will agree?" Shen Yu's emotions finally started to rise and fall, "Don't forget our relationship."
It could be said that the two disliked each other, and she couldn't understand why Du Shuyan thought she could help her.
"It seems that you don't just want to wait for death," Du Shuyan chuckled, "Our mutual dislike does not affect your dealing with King Yueqing. I know you want to kill King Yueqing, but you don't have the ability, so you choose to accept your fate."
Shen Yu was silent, she really wanted to kill King Yueqing.
Seeing that Shen Yu was moved, Du Shuyan poured her a cup of tea and told her what she was worried about.
"You think you can't live long before you become like this? What if I can make you live longer to take revenge on King Yueqing?"
Shen Yu suddenly raised his head, his stagnant eyes filled with hope.
"You didn't lie to me?"
She thought for a long time, and realized that what she was facing now was a dead end that could not be solved at all.
If Du Shuyan could really help her get out of her deadlock, she would try her best to get revenge on King Yueqing and not let him live so comfortably.
"Do you have anything worth lying to me now?"
Du Shuyan stood up and dropped these words.
"You think about it and give me your answer at Mrs. Yao's flower viewing party. Of course, this is also your last time."
She lifted her legs and walked to the door. She thought of her mother's dowry and stopped again.
"By the way, you should know where my mother's dowry is."
Shen Yu nodded, "There is a warehouse in my mother's yard. The key to the warehouse is under her bed. I don't know if everything is inside."
Because she didn't have time to ask Du Lin.
…
The next day.
Many ladies and ladies from the capital went to the Yao Mansion to attend the flower-viewing banquet.
Yu Yiluo was originally in the palace, but she got excited when she heard that the Yao family was holding a banquet.
The emperor thought that it would be good for her to get some fresh air after she recovered from her illness, so he ordered the fifth princess to take her with him.
In fact, it was because the banquet was all for women, and it was inappropriate for him to go there as an emperor. Otherwise, he would have wanted to take Luo'er there by himself, and there would be nothing to deal with anyway.
The fifth princess was summoned to the palace to hear what had happened. She thought she had heard wrongly.
The father's precious little princess is as big as a pair of eyes, so he can safely let her take him to play with?
