After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 193 Betrayed in 193
Sheng Tingye's guest came.

It seems that there are important matters, so he can't even take care of lunch, so he devotes himself to government affairs.

Shen Qingci came out of the study and ate lunch alone.

After sending everyone away during the lunch break, she felt that her soul hadn't come back yet.

Grandfather...how did he become Marquis of Changping?

Shen Qingci didn't know much about Qingzhou royal family.

When I was too young, it was because I had no memory.

Later, when my grandfather went away, I don't know whether it was because of the cold relationship with my grandmother, or because it was far away from the capital, so A Niang seldom brought her home.

Shen Qingci's impression of the Wang family was very weak.

All she knew was that her grandfather loved A Niang the most, while her grandmother loved Xiao Wang and Jiang Yuzhi the most.

Later, A Niang went, and she gradually grew up and remembered things.

She also went back to Qingzhou with Xiao Wang and Jiang Yuzhi, but her grandmother was far less warm to her than Jiang Yuzhi.

For this reason, she was a little aggrieved at first, but then she thought that it might be reasonable for the seemingly well-behaved and sensible Jiang Yuzhi to please her grandmother more than her wanton and pampered temperament.

Everyone's preferences are different.

For example, grandma, I favor her a bit.

She didn't find it delicious either, but gradually, her relationship with the Wang family became weaker and weaker.

As for Marquis Changping...

Shen Qingci didn't pay much attention to the government affairs of his own country, let alone neighboring countries.

She asked Qiuyun to go out to find Zhou Shun, and send her all the news he could find out about this Marquis of Changping.

While waiting for a reply, Shen Qingci walked to the dressing table.

This dressing table is one of the few that she brought over from the Shen family as a dowry.

Shen Qingci was led by Shen Huiyao to raid the yard, and she used this excuse to ask a carpenter to rebuild a dressing table for her.

The one next to it is nothing special, but in the second drawer, there is a hidden compartment.

In that hidden space, Shen Qingci used the skills he had learned from the No. 1 mechanism technique Wang Lu to design a mechanism.

Knock three times on each of the four corners of the drawer, and the hidden compartment will open, revealing the small brocade box inside.

What is contained in this brocade box is the Li Huozhu that Shen Qingci found before.

Although there is still a layer of worry, she can't just sit idly by and ignore Sheng Tingye's poison.

Shen Qingci took out the brocade box and was about to hand over the glazed fire beads to Sheng Tingye.

As for whether it will reveal that she is the secret of Jiang Yuwan's rebirth...

Saving people is the most important thing, let's play by ear when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci opened the brocade box smoothly.

She was about to take the glass fire beads to find Sheng Tingye, but the moment the brocade box was opened, Shen Qingci was completely stunned.

The brocade box, which was less than the size of a palm, was empty.

Her well-hidden glass fire beads... disappeared!
At that moment, Shen Qingci's heart skipped a beat.

She hurriedly looked for the secret compartment, and checked the mechanism over and over for a long time.

The dressing table is in good condition inside and out, and as for the secret compartment, there is no sign of being pried at all.

In other words...someone not only knew that she hid the glass fire beads here, but would activate the machine expansion, and even take the glass fire beads from her side without anyone noticing!

At this moment, Shen Qingci's mind buzzed.

In a trance, she thought of a person.

Qiu Niang.

Although she would never believe it.

But since entering the palace, she has hardly left anyone inside or outside the house.

And the outer courtyard of the palace is heavily guarded, and outsiders cannot enter at all.

Only when she was in the Shen family.

At that time, Chun Ya and Qiu Niang were the only ones who accompanied her and went in and out of her house.

And among the two, only Qiuniang knows some tricks.

This four-corner lock seems simple, but if you don't understand the key, no matter how skilled a locksmith is, you won't be able to open it.

This was originally a unique skill that Wang Lu did not pass on to the outside world.

Shen Qingci still remembered that Qiuniang was also there when Wang Lu was in Jiang's house and taught her mechanics.

Ordinary people may not know how to open the four-cornered lock, but if Qiuniang, who was with her at that time, wanted to learn...

Only when this thought came up, Shen Qingci gasped.

She had been wary of anyone, except Qiuniang.

Just because she was a martial arts master invited by her parents for her, they did their best not to tell her, and even spent a woman's most beautiful and brilliant years in cultivating her.

Shen Qingci believed in her character, but he didn't expect that what she got in exchange might be betrayal.

But if it wasn't for her, where did she go when she left without saying goodbye?
If it was really her, there would be even more conjectures that would make Shen Qingci's back shudder.

Since Qiuniang was able to unlock the four-corner lock, does that also mean...she has recovered her past memories...it is even possible to recognize her as Jiang Yuwan from the four-corner lock? !

But she hadn't noticed anything strange before.

why?
Could it be that, like Gu Qiuli, Qiuniang knew about Jiang Yuwan's rebirth?

Shen Qingci's fingertips holding the brocade box trembled slightly.

Thinking of Gu Qiuli, Shen Qingci suddenly thought of what he had said when they first met, when he mentioned Li Huozhu and the Dongyi people in the teahouse.

"This Dongyi tribe is very good at witchcraft and evil spirits. It belongs to the royal family of Chu, but it is only loyal to the successive monarchs of Chu."

"The way they practice is unique. The more talented people are, the more beautiful they will be."

Shen Qingci had never thought about this aspect before, but at this moment she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Suddenly, she discovered that Qiuniang's appearance hadn't changed much since she saw Qiuniang when she was a child!
In the past, she only thought that Qiuniang was petite and exquisite, and she was born with a pretty face.

Shen Qingci thought it was years that had treated her extra generously, and it didn't leave many marks on her face.

Even if she is over [-] years old, standing with Shen Qingci, who is [-] years old, still looks like sisters.

Now in connection with all the previous things, plus Gu Qiuli's words, Shen Qingci didn't think too much about it.

It is very possible that Qiuniang is a member of the Dongyi tribe, and it is because of her practice of Dongyi's secret art that her face is not old...

Thinking of this, coupled with a crazy mother Liao who kept calling "Young Master", Shen Qingci suddenly felt a little breathless.

She seemed to be caught in an invisible net.

And this net, most likely, has been laid since she was a child.

Her death, rebirth, and up to now, all these steps seemed to be predetermined.

Unknowingly, Shen Qingci broke out in a cold sweat.

Just at this time, Qiuyun came back.

Looking at the informative report about Chang Pinghou of Chu State that she brought back from Zhou Shun, Shen Qingci's heart fell to the bottom.

Although there were only a few strokes, it was enough to create a storm in Shen Qingci's heart.

This Marquis of Changping, whose real name is Xiao Qingyang, is the elder brother of the former Empress of Chu, and also the uncle of the current Empress!

More than 20 years ago, when the struggle between the imperial power of Chu State and the Prince Regent was at its worst, Xiao Qingyang retired due to injury, and since then he has disappeared without any news.

Shen Qingci's eyelashes trembled slightly.

If this Xiao Qingyang is really her grandfather Wang Chengen, then the Empress of Chu is also her real aunt?
Once this identity is exposed, Da Qi will not tolerate her.

That's why her father asked her to fulfill the marriage contract... to successfully become the third concubine, so that she could have an extra life-saving talisman?

This guess made Shen Qingci feel incredible, but it was not impossible.

But the Dongyi tribe didn't just obey the orders of the successive kings of the Chu State, even if her grandfather was the Marquis of Changping, it was impossible for her to order them.

But those Dongyi people around Jiang Yuwan and Shen Qingci...

Thinking of this, Shen Qingci closed his eyes.

Mother Liao, Qiuniang, and one... Tassel!
Thinking of Liusu, Shen Qing suddenly stood up.

She suddenly thought of an important point that had been ignored by her before.

Since Gu Qiuli said - the way they practice is unique, the more talented people are, the more beautiful they will be.

Qiuniang can maintain her youthful appearance.

Then Tassel's kung fu is so powerful, far above Qiuniang...

Is it far from being as small as it looks!

This discovery made Shen Qingci unable to sit still.

Since Sheng Tingye gave her the badge, he had no intention of detaining her in Prince Ning's Mansion.

Knowing that he was busy in the study at the moment, Shen Qingci asked Chun Ya to pass a message to Qing Yun who was guarding outside, and then asked him to prepare the carriage.

With Qiuniang's lessons learned, this time, Shen Qingci couldn't even believe Chunya easily.

Alone, she drove straight from Qingyun to Huaishu Lane.
