Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 238: Alarming the Snake

Qi Shengzhu supported Qi Shengmei, and the two of them walked slowly.

It had just snowed, and the Prince's Mansion was particularly deserted. Qi Shengzhu said indignantly, "His Royal Highness is too much. Although today is a banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion, he can't just leave you in the Prince's Mansion like this. He said he was afraid you would catch a cold, but who knows if he's going out to meet someone in private."

"Zhu'er, this is the prince's mansion." Qi Shengmei held Qi Shengzhu's hand and shook her head gently, signaling Qi Shengzhu to stop talking.

The Prince's Mansion is full of the Prince's men. Who knows, if someone hears it, they might attack Qi Shengzhu in the future.

"Sister, I feel it's unfair for you. If that hadn't happened, why would you have to..."

As Qi Shengzhu was talking, he suddenly saw tears in Qi Shengmei's eyes, and he immediately stopped talking and said, "Sister, I was wrong, I won't say anything more, don't be sad."

"It's in the past."

Qi Shengmei gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said: "Zhu'er, my life has been like this, so I don't want you to follow in my footsteps."

Qi Shengmei lowered her voice a lot, "A few days ago, I went back home and told my father that I would find a marriage for you as soon as possible. Is there any progress now?"

Qi Shengzhu thought of making a wish and shook his head, "He refused."

"If he doesn't want to, then find someone else and arrange the marriage first. We can talk about the rest later."

"Sister." Qi Shengzhu frowned.

"Listen to me and arrange the marriage first." Qi Shengmei tucked the messy hair on Qi Shengzhu's face behind his ears, and her voice became gentler: "I know my body can't hold on for much longer. I just hope that before that, you can be well."

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? No way." Qi Shengzhu shook his head.

Qi Shengmei did not answer Qi Shengzhu's words, but said: "It's cold, I'll have someone take you back home."

Hearing this, Qi Shengzhu was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Sister, do you still want to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Qi Shengmei nodded.

Seeing this, Qi Shengzhu couldn't help but say, "Sister, if you don't want to, just get a divorce. Anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't have any ideas about me anymore."

Qi Shengmei slowly looked at Qi Shengzhu, her voice trembling: "What did you say?"

"I..." Qi Shengzhu lowered his voice.

Qi Shengmei immediately said: "Zhu'er, tell me, how did you..."

Seeing Qi Shengmei's shocked face, Qi Shengzhu simply told the truth: "Sister, I know you all want me to live a simple life and not get involved in those intrigues, but if I don't understand, I won't be alive until now. You keep urging me to get engaged, aren't you afraid that the prince wants to marry me?"

Everything around seemed to have become quiet.

Qi Shengmei looked at Qi Shengzhu and felt dazed: "Zhu'er, when did you..."

"Sister, you are not the only one who can be my support. I can do it too. After the last Shen family banquet, I found that the prince had noticed the third daughter of the Song family, Song Xiujing. I think... after the new year, the prince will ask for her hand in marriage. He will not set his sights on me anymore, so don't worry."

Qi Shengzhu didn't want to tell Qi Shengmei about this.

After all, the prince and Qi Shengmei may not be in harmony with each other, but they are still husband and wife.

Qi Shengzhu didn't want Qi Shengmei to be sad, but she had no choice.

"That's good. What happens to other people is none of my business. I just hope you're OK."

Qi Shengmei looked at Qi Shengzhu, her eyes full of tenderness: "Zhu'er, I hope you are well. I have nothing else to ask for."

Chen Shan listened to the conversation between the two and whispered, "No wonder the Third Master wants to cancel the engagement."

"Let's go." Xu Yuan didn't want to listen any more.

Chen Shan didn't want to stay any longer, so the two of them went around the back of the pavilion and went to the study.

The prince's mansion was exceptionally quiet, with only maids coming and going, and no guards.

When he got outside the study, Xu Yuan glanced at the four people guarding the door and turned back to ask, "Two per person?"

Chen Shan nodded.

Chen Shan knew that Xu Yuan knew martial arts, and Bei Yao had also told him that helping Xu Yuan did not mean stopping him from taking action.

After the work was divided, Xu Yuan squatted down, picked up a dagger, and the two of them went around the back of the study, one to the south and one to the north.

Chen Shan jumped down from the eaves, and knocked one of the two men unconscious with one hand while they were not paying attention. When he looked up at Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan had already dragged the two unconscious people into the corner.

Chen Shan couldn't help but say: "Mr. Xu, you are amazing."

Making wishes is even more powerful than when I was in Sishui County.

At that time, they were being hunted by Zhuifengtang, and Xuyuan still needed Beiyao's protection, but now he can kill two people by himself.

Chen Shan understood that even if they did not help tonight, Xu Yuan would be able to find Xin San and take him away from the Prince's Mansion.

Xu Yuan smiled and didn't say anything. He pushed open the door of the study and waited for Chen Shan to go in before closing the door.

After entering the study, the two of them separated tacitly and looked around one on the left and one on the right.

Xu Yuan was not in a hurry. After looking around, he found the secret door in the study. Chen Shan took the opportunity to look through books and other items.

After searching for a while, the two of them came to the desk at the same time.

Chen Shan asked: "Mr. Xu, did you find anything?"

"No, it's very clean. Besides books, there are paintings and calligraphy."

Xu Yuan shook his head and became confused.

There was only one prince's palace in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

If his account book is not in the study, where is it?

Or did the Northern Yuan Dynasty not have account books?

I can't figure out how to make a wish.

Time flies, Chen Shan said: "We can't stay here any longer, we can't keep it a secret for long at the palace."

"it is good."

Xu Yuan nodded, and the two were about to go out through the main door. Before Xu Yuan opened the door, his hand was held by Chen Shan.

"somebody is coming."

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he quickly hid on the roof. Xu Yuan also moved sideways and hid behind the screen, looking at the door carefully.

The footsteps are getting closer.

Xu Yuan and Chen Shan looked at each other, took out their daggers, and looked at the door vigilantly.

Squeak!

The door was gently pushed open a crack.

Qi Shengzhu looked around carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one in the room.

Qi Shengzhu walked quickly to the desk, took a look at where the books were placed, and then started looking for them.

Perhaps she found nothing, so she quickly put the books back to their place and left quietly.

After Qi Shengzhu left, Xu Yuan came out from behind the screen, stood in front of the desk again, and murmured, "What is Qi Shengzhu looking for?"

When Xu Yuan first met Qi Shengzhu, he didn't think it through.

The Crown Princess doesn't like her mother's family to have any connection with the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Today is a special day, and Qi Shengzhu did not go to the Chengwang Mansion for the banquet, but instead stayed at the Prince's Mansion to accompany the Crown Princess. This is a bit too suspicious.

Xuyuan flipped through the book that Qi Shengzhu had just read and suddenly remembered Shen Yichuan's words.

"Qi Shengzhu also knows this, so she is looking for a way out for herself."

The way out...

Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed and he said, "We have alerted the enemy."
