Chapter 864 It’s Not a Coincidence
Shen Shuyi slept very soundly that night. He was not awakened until the next morning by the sound of soldiers training in the camp. He still felt his eyelids heavy and his whole body limp.
The man beside me disappeared without a trace.
Shen Shuyi struggled for a while, but finally couldn't help closing his eyes and fell asleep.
My whole body ached as if I had gone through another tiring journey, but I had been traveling for several days and seeing that he was fine finally made me feel at ease.
After sleeping for another two hours, Shen Shuyi finally regained some strength.
"Madam, would you like to have breakfast first?" Jinzhu asked with a wicked smile. Shen Shuyi didn't bother to pay attention to her teasing. She gathered her energy, tidied up, and had lunch directly.
"Master Xie said there is no need to wait for him. He will probably be back very late today. If you feel bored, you can wander around the camp or Liangzhou City. But remember to bring someone with you when you go out. It's not safe here." Qin Xin said.
"it is good."
Maybe because he slept for a long time, his appetite was pretty good now, and Shen Shuyi ate a lot.
Just as I was about to go out, I heard the news from Jiuchou.
"Miss, there is news about Li Ye. Li Ye has been captured and is currently being held in the prison of the Li clan." Jiuchou spoke in a deep voice.
Shen Shuyi put down his bowl and chopsticks and said slowly: "Caught?"
"Yes."
Shen Shu thought for a moment and ordered: "Investigate further to see if he was really arrested, or if someone wanted to use him as bait to lure us in."
If Li Ye is really captured and is at the end of his rope, it would be most beneficial for them to secretly rescue Li Ye, help him regain control of the Li clan, and eliminate the second elder's lineage. In this way, not only can they cut off Xiao Tingshan's arm and retreat, but they can also take advantage of the situation to frame Yuan Xia and find a new way out for this stalemate.
But if someone heard that she came here, and knew her relationship with Xie Jingchi and Li Ye, and wanted to set a trap to lure her into it, then she would have to think carefully.
"We must get accurate information. Li Ye is a tough guy and has people in the clan protecting him. Even if he is caught, he won't be in any trouble for a while." Shen Shuyi added.
"I understand." Jiuchou responded and turned to leave.
After dinner, Shen Shuyi had nothing to do, so he took a few people to stroll around Liangzhou City. The scenery of Liangzhou was very different from that of the capital. Shen Shuyi bought some small things to take back for entertainment, and also bought some local food to share with the people who came with him.
But I didn’t expect that enemies would meet on a narrow road.
Shen Shuyi had just taken a few people to the inn to sit for a while when he met Princess Hanyang.
Princess Hanyang was followed by several guards. Shen Shuyi heard from Xie Jingchi that he sent someone to deliver a letter to Prince Duan, asking him to take good care of his daughter and not to bother him.
On the second day after Xie Jingchi threw his men out of the camp, the people sent by Prince Duan to escort Princess Hanyang also arrived in Liangzhou.
However, Xiao Tinglan had no plans to go back.
Shen Shuyi finally came to Liangzhou. This place is far away from the emperor, with enemies and friends mixed together and bandits rampant. It is really the best place for a person to die unclearly.
So, she wanted to stay here and kill Shen Shuyi.
After killing Shen Shuyi, she will return to Beijing.
She had already thought about it. She didn't love Xiao Tingshan. If Xiao Tingshan had been handsome in the past, he was now thin and pale, like a sick ghost hanging on to his breath.
Why would she, a princess, waste her life on such a man?
Of course, she also knew that Xiao Tingshan didn't love her either, so she thought he would agree to the divorce.
As long as he agreed to divorce, she didn't care whether her father was willing to support him in fighting for that position. She just didn't want to waste her whole life on him.
By then, Shen Shuyi will be dead, and she and Xiao Tingshan will be divorced. As long as she plans well, it may not be impossible for her and Xie Jingchi to be together.
It would be best...it would be best if Shen Shuyi died, and then she and Xie Jingchi would have settled the matter in Liangzhou.
Unfortunately, I failed that day...
Xiao Tinglan had a lot of plans, but she didn't know how successful they would be. But at least, killing Shen Shuyi was the most important thing at the moment.
If it weren't for this damn woman, Xie Jingchi would have married her sooner or later. But, no one knew what tricks she had used to convince the Queen Mother and His Majesty. How dare the legitimate daughter of a third-rank court official compete with her?
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet Princess Mingzhu again." Xiao Tinglan took the initiative to speak and looked behind Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "We just met in front of the camp yesterday. It's not a coincidence."
When talking about what happened yesterday, Xiao Tinglan felt completely humiliated, especially since Shen Shuyi actually caught her in such an embarrassing incident. It was really hateful!
"Princess Mingzhu has traveled thousands of miles to pursue her husband. It must have been an easy journey. Why didn't Lord Xie spend more time with you?" Xiao Tinglan said with a smile. She clearly caught a glimpse of the kiss mark on Shen Shuyi's neck, and she couldn't help revealing jealousy in her eyes.
Shen Shuyi curled her lips and said, "He is very busy. He has to supervise the army, take care of the people and war in Liangzhou, and beware of women who intend to climb into his bed. Naturally, he has no time to accompany me."
As for sarcasm, Shen Shuyi asked herself, as long as she wanted to, she would not lose.
What's more, Xiao Tinglan was once the Princess of Hanyang, who was superior to her. In terms of hierarchy and etiquette, she was inevitably inferior to her. But now they are both princesses, so there is no need to worry about anything else.
Xiao Tinglan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes reddened: "How good is Princess Mingzhu? If you hadn't deliberately seduced him, how could he have married you!"
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "Doesn't Princess Hanyang know? I am Xie Jingchi, who came to ask for your majesty's hand in marriage in front of many court officials. Or is it that Princess Hanyang herself behaves this way and thinks that everyone else does the same."
"Pah!" Xiao Tinglan slapped the table and said angrily, "Shen Shuyi, you are so brave!"
Shen Shuyi's expression was calm, and she said calmly: "Not even half as good as Princess Hanyang. As a royal lady, the princess has learned some dirty tricks from the brothels, and she is not afraid of humiliating the royal family by telling others!"
"The princess is going to Liangzhou alone this time. I wonder if the Sixth Prince knows about it?" Shen Shuyi asked again.
Xiao Tinglan finally lost her composure and angrily said, "Don't mention him to me! If you hadn't framed me, I wouldn't have married a sickly guy like him!"
Shen Shuyi now understands the train of thought of these people. I can harm you, but you can't plot against me.
"The princess is not as skilled as others, so she should accept defeat." Shen Shuyi's response was even more straightforward.
Xiao Tinglan was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Shen Shuyi, just wait for me!"
Go ahead and say it. Xiao Tinglan stood up and left the inn with his men.
Shen Shuyi remained unmoved. After Xiao Tinglan left, he said with his thin lips: "I'll stay with you till the end."
