Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

Chapter 323 Did you lose something?

He was the only one there, and even Su Junhou was not with him.

Therefore, Shen Zhishu was even more certain that Yuwen Qingwan's return must have been planned by them.

My father said that he could meet Qingwan before he went to war.

Su Zheng was very much looking forward to it, so he walked slowly on purpose, waiting for her to meet him.

But she didn't expect that she was not the only one coming.

He subconsciously suppressed the inappropriate emotions and made sure no one would find out.

"Master Su."

Since we have met, we can't avoid exchanging a few pleasantries.

Shen Zhishu spoke.

Yu Wen Qingwan stood behind her, bowed silently, lowered her head, and said nothing.

Shen Jie showed his usual friendly attitude and smiled warmly.

After all, we participated in the competition together, so we know each other.

Su Zheng calmly saluted Shen Zhishu first.

"Congratulations on becoming the commander-in-chief of this attack on the outer frontier. May you return victoriously and bring peace to the Yan Dynasty."

Shen Zhishu smiled gently, and there was no malice in the look in his eyes.

This reminded Su Zheng of his sister, the queen.

They were mortal enemies in the harem, and Concubine Xian’s attitude towards him was indeed a bit strange.

Furthermore, he and Concubine Xian’s brother were rivals. If it weren’t for him at the last moment, her brother would have been the winner.

No matter what, he should be a thorn in the eyes of Concubine Xian.

"Thanks to your words, Concubine Xian, I will do my best."

But even if he regarded her as an enemy in his heart, she greeted him with a smile. She was a concubine in the harem, so he should have basic respect for her.

Besides, Qingwan is still here.

He didn't want to leave any bad impression.

But when he glanced at her, she kept her head down and didn't even look at him, which made Su Zheng a little discouraged.

"Then we won't delay Master Su from leaving the palace. My brother and I still have to help Qingwan find the pearl hairpin. If we are any later, I'm afraid it will be picked up by someone else."

Shen Zhishu just exchanged a few pleasantries and said hello.

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Why are you looking for a pearl hairpin? Why do you want Shen Jie to come along?

Shouldn't he leave the palace first like me?

Su Zheng was a little surprised.

"Qingwan, let's go."

Shen Zhishu smiled slightly as a greeting.

Then Su Zheng watched Qing Wan walk past him.

Although we met, we didn't say a word to each other or even look at each other.

When he returned to the Su Mansion, he could no longer control his emotions and went straight to the study.

"Father."

Just those two words, shouted as if seeing an enemy.

He gritted his teeth, his brows full of annoyance.

"Didn't see it?"

Su Yan was very calm.

After all, who hasn’t been young?

"See you."

His tone was light and full of resentment.

"That means... the conversation wasn't going well?"

"I didn't even get to say anything. It's all Concubine Xian's fault..."

He told what happened.

So it was like I had never met Qingwan.

"Father, this virtuous concubine is not of high birth and doesn't look difficult to deal with. Why don't you help my sister and get rid of her?"

On the way back, he was wondering why Concubine Xian would be so kind to help Qingwan find the pearl hairpin, and even bring her brother with her?

I’m afraid he still has feelings for Qingwan.

If one day Shen Jie proposed to Qing Wan... he would never tolerate it.

So just get rid of her.

It's good for both him and the Queen.

"No."

But Su Junhou shook his head without hesitation.

"You can't touch her, and you can't get into conflict with her. You can't help your sister deal with her in the future. It's best to stay away from her."

Su Zheng was confused by what he heard.

Why can't I move?

Could it be that my father is still afraid of a concubine with a simple family background?

Or the Shen family?

But he is just a mere Dali Temple Minister.

"Why?"

Su Zheng felt that this was unreasonable.

"It's a long story. Anyway, you have to remember that the more weak and harmless a woman looks, the harder it is to guard against her when she gets ruthless, because her claws are hidden behind her back. But the more exposed a woman's claws are, the more likely she is just a show-off..."

Su Junhou said this earnestly.

If this is the case, then it can be understood that Concubine Xian is not as harmless as she looks.

And the Queen is actually not as untouchable as she seems?

Shen Zhishu had no idea that he was that kind of person in the minds of the Su family father and son.

She just accompanied Yuwen Qingwan back to the stands and found the pearl hairpin left by Yuwen Mingzhu.

"I'm so lucky that it's still here intact after all this time."

Shen Zhishu said with a faint smile.

"What servant would dare to pick up the master's things casually?"

Yu Wen Qingwan was not surprised.

And judging from the people he met along the way, he was afraid that Yu Mingzhu had intentionally left the hairpin behind.

First it was Shen Jie, then Su Zheng.

It is not difficult to guess what Yu Mingzhu is thinking.

But she didn't know how Concubine Xian and Master Shen viewed her.

So...why not take a risk and give it a try?

Instead of waiting for Yu Mingzhu to take action against her, it is better to make the choice herself and have more initiative.

"Your Highness, you have helped me a lot, and you have taken the trouble to come here. Do you want to escort Master Shen out of the palace? If your Highness does not mind, I can do it for you."

While she was thinking, she took the initiative to speak.

But these words shocked the brother and sister.

This is to...

The moment Shen Jie reacted, the blush on his face, which had finally subsided, turned red again.

Subconsciously looked at my younger sister.

Absolutely not. This will cause a huge misunderstanding.

Shen Zhishu didn't expect Yuwen Qingwan to make such a request.

Did she... misunderstand something?

Or do you have something to say to your brother alone?

"That's fine. I'm really tired after walking for such a long time. Brother, let Qingwan take you out on my behalf. There are palace guards all the way from here to the palace gate, so you won't get lost."

This is good, at least we can find out directly what Yu Wen Qingwan is going to do now, without having to make random guesses.

Shen Jie opened his eyes wide and looked helpless.

"Mr. Shen, please."

Shen Zhishu watched his brother with a gloomy face as he followed Yuwen Qingwan silently.

It's really surprising.

I hope I can still see this scene one day.

But the conference really ended a long time ago, and the place is empty.

After her brother left, she was left alone.

However, there were still palace servants cleaning downstairs.

She turned around and prepared to leave.

"Your Highness, please look carefully to see if there is anything left behind. If it is picked up by someone with ulterior motives, you will never be able to clear your name even if you jump into the Yellow River."

A strange yet familiar voice sounded.

Shen Zhishu was overwhelmed.

I was instantly annoyed and wondered why I didn't move faster.

The commander-in-chief has left, so why are you, a supporting role, still staying in the palace?

Seeing An Zhouyu approaching with an asking-for-a-punch smile, she felt endless contempt in her heart.

Just like a ghost, it will always linger around.

She pretended to lower her head and look for something seriously.

There's a ghost.

How could her things be lost?

After making sure there wasn't any, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Really? You really want to leave."
