Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 470 The General's Daughter vs. the Deposed Crown Prince with No Heir (7)

Shen Shuyi didn't mince words and said directly, "I'm sure Your Highness knows that I've moved out of the Shen family. As a weak woman living alone in the manor, I need loyal and capable servants. I wonder if you could help me find a few?"

"No problem, I'll have someone select a few guards to protect you before sunset."

"Thank you so much." Shen Shuyi smiled gently, her eyebrows curving upwards.

After she left Prince Su's residence, Zhao Heng handed the prescription to Doctor Chen Hong of the residence.

Chen Hong examined the prescription, his hand stroking his beard paused, and his eyes widened. "Wonderful, wonderful! Such a combination! Your Highness, is this prescription written by the doctor who stitched up your wound before?"

"Is he still alive? I'd like to discuss this with him."

"You just need to tell me if there's a problem with this prescription," Zhao Heng said gently, but his words left no room for argument.

Chen Hong quickly came to his senses, "No, no problem, I'll prepare the medicine for you right away."

Shen Shuyi returned to Tingyu Manor. Less than an hour later, He Ya, the head guard of Prince Su's mansion, sent over several sturdy servants, as well as a man and a woman who looked extremely similar.

He Ya explained, "Their names are Gu Hong and Jing Xian. They are twin siblings who can take on ten opponents at once. From now on, we will have them protect Miss Shen closely."

Gu Hong stepped forward, "This subordinate greets Miss Shen!"

Shen Shuyi nodded slightly, noticing that the two were only fifteen or sixteen years old, but their aura indicated that they were rare masters.

"From now on, you will live in Tingyu Manor. You don't need to do any other work. You just need to help me when I'm in danger."

"Yes!" Gu Hong and Jing Xian obeyed the order. The prince's intention in sending them here was clear: from now on, Miss Shen would be their new master.

Shen Shuyi was very satisfied with Zhao Heng's keeping his word. She took Luwu and Jingxian to visit Tingyu Villa and saw a vacant lot near the front garden in front of the plum grove.

She stopped and said to Green Willow, "This place can be turned into a vegetable garden and a medicinal herb garden."

"Yes, Miss, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Green Grass knew that compared to needlework, Miss preferred the pleasures of the countryside. When the old lady was alive, Miss would grow some vegetables with her every year. Of course, the old lady would watch over the planting, while Miss planted the vegetables, and the fields were cleared by farmhands.

"Yes, the plum grove is quite large. We should plant more fruit trees while spring is here. Loquats and grapes are both very good, and we can also plant a few cherry trees."

"Green Grass knows, Miss also likes to eat lychees, but unfortunately Chang'an is not suitable for growing them."

Shen Shuyi smiled as she admired the scenery of Tingyu Manor. This was her third day here, and there was still no movement from the General's Mansion. It seemed that they had no intention of returning the dowry at all.

"Green Willow, Startled String, let's go eat at Tianxiang Restaurant." Since we're already here, we have to try the food at the most famous restaurant in Chang'an.

She asked for a private room by the window with a good view and ordered a table of Tianxianglou's signature dishes.

When you've eaten about 50-60% of your fill, the system notification says: "Host, Zhao Heng has also come to Tianxiang Tower. Not only him, but also the Fourth Prince Zhao Qiyu and Shen Qingyi are here."

Shen Shuyi looked up and immediately saw Zhao Heng, who was elegant and handsome, appear in her line of sight, but he quickly disappeared.

"What is he doing here?"

[Actually, Tianxiang Tower is secretly Zhao Heng's business. He can come and go as he pleases. Who knows what's going on in the mind of such a highly intelligent person? Even super-intelligent data analysis would struggle to decipher it.]
[Host, 66 can provide location information. Would you like to go and have a chance encounter with him?]
"No need, no rush. We'll be going to the Prince's mansion for acupuncture tomorrow anyway."

After finishing her meal, Shen Shuyi went to the rooftop pavilion of Tianxiang Tower to enjoy the scenery.

Behind Tianxiang Tower is a lake, surrounded by weeping willows. When the breeze blows, the willow branches sway, which is very pleasant.

[Host, please look behind that big willow tree in the lower right corner; there's a surprise there.]
Shen Shuyi took a closer look and clicked her tongue, "66, do you have to be so perverse?" Weren't those two embracing behind the tree Shen Qingyi and Zhao Qiyu? Even though the Zhao people are known for their open-mindedness, these two are still young ladies from wealthy families and members of royalty. Don't they care about their family's reputation?
She raised her hand to Jingxian, "Jingxian, go and do something for me."

Green Willow was still unclear about what was going on. Before long, she saw several noblewomen walking towards the willow tree where the Second Miss and the Fourth Prince were.

When Shen Qingyi saw the man approaching, she was so startled that she almost fell into the lake. Seeing that there was no way to escape, she had no choice but to put on her hood and bury her head in Zhao Qiyu's chest.

Zhao Qiyu shouted angrily, and those who had suddenly witnessed this scene hurriedly ran away.

When Shen Shuyi returned to Tingyu Manor, news of Shen Qingyi and Zhao Qiyu's secret meeting also spread.

Green Willow even went out of her way to find out the news and described it in great detail.

"Miss, now the whole of Chang'an knows that Shen Qingyi and Zhao Qiyu are behaving intimately in public!"

Some even went so far as to say that the two of them had actually been having an affair for a long time.

They even said their clandestine affair was beneath them and couldn't be openly acknowledged.

Shen Shuyi chuckled upon hearing this and chatted with 66 for a bit, "66, I'm really curious how they're going to handle this."

She was supposed to enter the palace to be selected as a concubine next month, but a scandal broke out at this critical juncture.

[Host, you know what, Zhao Qiyu is practically getting a severe scolding from the Empress, not to mention Shen Qingyi.]
Through the light screen provided by 66, Shen Shuyi immediately saw the Empress, dressed in a magnificent palace gown, who was the birth mother of the Fourth Prince Zhao Qiyu.

After Zhao Heng's mother passed away due to illness, the emperor married Cui, the daughter of the Grand Tutor, as his second empress. The emperor cherished their past relationship, and Zhao Heng was virtuous and talented. If he hadn't been poisoned and unable to have children, he wouldn't have deposed the crown prince.

Zhao Qiyu is currently the most popular candidate for crown prince in the court.

Empress Cui wanted military power and tried to win over General Shen Jing to her side. She specially sent her son to make contact with Miss Shen. Everything went smoothly until this incident occurred!
She looked at her son, "Qiyu, didn't I tell you to be mindful and know when to stop? Why did you cause such a commotion in the middle of the city?!"

Zhao Qiyu lowered his head, "Your subject never expected to be seen."

They disguised themselves. They had met in secret many times before without any problems, but this time they were a little too unrestrained and met in the bustling city. They never expected that someone would recognize them.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

"You admit your mistake so quickly!" Empress Cui was somewhat disappointed in her son. If her son had half of Zhao Heng's talent and half of his intelligence and ease of life, she wouldn't have had to go to such lengths to make so many plans.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng is completely ruined!

"It doesn't matter if Shen Qingyi's reputation is ruined. Didn't General Shen bring his eldest daughter back to Chang'an? Go and make contact with her, and keep her in check before the selection of concubines next month."

"Mother!" Zhao Qiyu couldn't help but exclaim urgently, "I love Qingyi!"

Empress Cui was furious and raised her voice with a threatening command, "Qi Yu, have you forgotten the days you lived in Zhao Heng's shadow?"

"Do you intend to hand over the throne to someone else?"

"Although I am the Empress, my family is too weak. The Noble Consort and the Noble Consort are eyeing me covetously. General Shen's support is extremely important. Your princess, your future Empress, must be clean and pure."
