Pin Shanhe

The man was indeed taken aback by her sudden action.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

Trying to change the subject?

It's not that simple!

Instead of refusing, he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"So what if it is?"

"..."

Is he really going to do this?

Thinking of their "deal," Shen Fu gritted her teeth.

At times like these, we must not back down; we must persevere to the very end!

do my best!

She took the initiative, wrapping her arms around the man's neck and drawing suggestive circles on his chest with her fingers.

"So, you're going to turn this charade into reality? And then produce 'concrete evidence' to prove your innocence a month from now?"

She's gambling!

I'm betting he won't actually touch her!

Otherwise, he could have achieved his goal from the beginning and wouldn't have gone to the trouble of giving her that red pill to cover her up in front of Jun Qiyuan.

Sure enough, the man grabbed her "misbehaving" hand, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Don't push me!"

Shen Fu's smile widened: "Is Your Highness afraid?"

However, Xiao Xuanjin's mind conjured up the scene of their wedding night, when she took the initiative to lie on top of him.

And that night, she was in the bathtub, the bright red petals contrasting against her snow-white skin and graceful curves, creating a striking visual impact that was breathtakingly beautiful.

He suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart and scooped her up in his arms.

At this moment, Shen Fu was somewhat flustered.

Have we gone too far?

If I were to confess my innocence here tonight, I would be at a huge loss!

Just then, the sound of a cuckoo suddenly rang out outside the window, sounding especially clear in the quiet of the night.

She was then thrown onto the bed, and the voice in her ear was somewhat hoarse, as if it was trying its best to suppress something.

"If there's a next time, I'll make you pay the price for playing with fire!"

Even long after the man left, Shen Fu's face remained flushed.

I don't know if it's from the heat or a side effect of "playing with fire and getting burned".

……

After leaving the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Xiao Xuanjin went straight to a bamboo grove nearby.

Feng Zhu and Hong Ling were waiting there.

The cuckoo call they just heard was the secret signal they were communicating.

It was thanks to that sound that he came to his senses; otherwise, who knows what uncontrollable things might have happened.

He clenched his fists, trying his best to suppress the burning desire in his heart, and his voice regained its calmness.

"What is it?"

"My lord, a letter has arrived from over there."

Feng stepped forward and presented the secret letter.

Upon opening it, five large characters were prominently displayed: "Destroy the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

The man's aura suddenly intensified, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by tens of degrees in an instant.

for a long time……

With a wave of his hand, the secret letter instantly turned into dust!

Hongling was a little anxious: "My lord..."

Feng Zhu was afraid that she would say something she shouldn't have, just like last time, and anger the master, thus incurring punishment. So he quickly stood in front of her.

"This is the elders' opinion; how to proceed is ultimately up to the Lord."

The man gave them a cold look, then flew away, his figure in black quickly disappearing into the vast night.

Hongling wanted to chase after him, but Fengzhu stopped her.

"Are you crazy? Haven't you learned your lesson from last time?"

"The lord is the one who's gone mad; he's made an exception for that woman once again!"

"Didn't I say that the Lord acts with discretion?"

Hongling's tone was tinged with resentment: "I trusted you last time, which is why I let my guard down, but what happened? They were already alone together in a room. If we hadn't shown up in time, things might have escalated to the point where it was already a done deal!"

"Impossible! For so many years, the Lord has never had any woman by his side. How could he possibly fall for a woman he's only known for a few days? He's just using her. It's not as serious as you think."

In fact, Feng Zhu didn't know what his master was thinking.

The only thing he knew was to protect Hongling from causing any more trouble.

Given the Lord's personality, he really would kill her!

……

The following day, a distinguished guest arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Upon learning this, Shen Fu immediately went to greet her.

"Why didn't you let us know the princess was coming so we could go out and greet her in advance?"

Seeing that she was about to bow, Jun Anning quickly stepped forward to help her, affectionately taking her hand.

"Miss Shen, there's no need for such formalities. From now on, please call me Anning!"

"How can this be? You are a princess, precious and noble..."

"If it weren't for Miss Shen speaking up for me yesterday, I probably wouldn't have been able to keep my princess status. Even my mother said that Sister Shen has done us a great favor."

She was naturally referring to the events of the palace banquet the previous night.

Although the crisis was averted, it was a sleepless night for Consort Ning and Princess Anning.

They kept thinking back, and if it weren't for Shen Fu, the little prince would have died from poisoning, and they would have been implicated, and even the Grand Tutor's mansion would not have escaped the consequences.

Moreover, she later defended her mother in front of the emperor, dispelling her father's suspicions.

This life-saving grace is as heavy as Mount Tai!

Shen Fu, however, didn't care at all.

"Your Highness is too kind. I was merely stating the facts, and I believe any reasonable person would have done the same."

Jun Anning shook her head with a wry smile: "There were so many people there yesterday, all of them were kicking me when I was down and had their own ulterior motives, but the only one who was willing to tell the truth was Sister Shen."

Shen Fu knew in her heart that her purpose in helping them was not so simple.

She was doing it for herself!

To ease the other party's psychological burden, she quickly said, "Actually, I was just trying to repay the princess's kindness. Before the palace banquet started, I was publicly harassed by the prime minister's daughter. If the princess hadn't come forward to testify, I'm afraid things would have turned out badly."

"I was just stating the facts..."

Jun Anning suddenly realized that she had said exactly the same thing as the other person.

Shen Fu smiled gently: "It seems that the princess and I are both people of the same temperament. No wonder we are so compatible."

"Didn't I already say that you don't need to call me princess from now on? Just call me by my name. I can also call you Sister Shen. You don't need to worry about so many rules and regulations like others do. You can relax and be carefree. What do you say?"

Shen Fu smiled and said, "Since An Ning has said so, I have no choice but to respectfully comply!"

The two were similar in temperament and shared similar interests, and soon began chatting together.

As they talked, the topic turned to the incident of the "wrong bride in the bridal sedan chair".

Jun Anning couldn't help but show worry.

"A month will pass quickly, and I wonder what the situation will be like then. If Miss Shen is pregnant, will she really marry Prince Xuan?"

"I don't know either, let's just leave it to fate!"

"Actually, Sister Shen still wants to marry the Fourth Prince, doesn't she? He's deeply in love with you too, but fate has other plans..."

"This only shows that we were not meant to be. We cannot fight against fate. We should follow the will of heaven, not go against it."

Shen Fu knew that the Seventh Princess was a good person, but she still couldn't bring herself to wholeheartedly trust someone.

We should avoid creating unnecessary complications until the situation is fully clear.
