"Shen Yan, did you have a plan a long time ago to wait for me to rescue my mother and then take revenge on her?" Shen Qingqing asked.

Shen Yan heard the reluctance and self-blame in Shen Qingqing's words, and she smiled mockingly, "So Miss Shen Er also feels guilty?"

Shen Qingqing pursed her lips and said nothing.

"It was my plan to bring Xie Yunhui to justice, but I didn't expect that you would take part in the assessment in advance and send her to me so that I could achieve my goal in advance."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "You are really my sister, thank you. If it weren't for you and the Queen Mother, Xie Yunhui would still be enjoying herself in Puning Temple. She really gave birth to a good daughter!"

Shen Qingqing is trying to be smart, but her cleverness is mistaken for her.

"what!!"

Shen Qingqing's face turned pale and she roared loudly. Grief and anger filled her heart, and her whole body seemed to explode.

As expected, it was she and the Queen Mother who killed her mother.

Although life in Puning Temple was very hard, her mother was still a princess and the wife of the prime minister, which was many times better than being demoted to a commoner and expelled from the capital.

"Shen Yan! You are so vicious! I will repay you a hundred times or a thousand times the pain you gave me today!"

"I'm just returning the pain you gave me. How can I call it vicious?" Shen Yan sneered, "Just come here and I'll let you know what it means to be in pain!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Shen Qingqing, turned around and got into the carriage with Xie Huaijing.

Shen Qingqing was so angry that she trembled all over and sat directly on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

After a long time, she slowly stood up and stared in the direction where Shen Yan was leaving.

She still has a chance. She will graduate from the academy in one year. Then she will find a good official position and marry Xie Chengyu. If Xie Chengyu is named the crown prince, she will be the crown princess.

By then, she will have unlimited glory and great power. She will definitely cut Shen Yan into pieces and wash away the shame of today.

Her eyes were full of malice, and she returned to Dali Temple with full of anger. She wanted to accompany the eldest princess back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to get the divorce papers and pack her luggage.

Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing arrived at the palace gate. Xie Huaijing said, "Go in, I'll wait for you here."

When Emperor Xuande handed the Red Sky Sword to Shen Yan, it should not just be as simple as letting Shen Yan punish the eldest princess.

If it was just to punish the eldest princess, Leng Yuting could do it.

Xie Huaijing guessed that there was some kind of agreement between Emperor Xuande and Shen Yan. He would not pry into this secret. No matter what Shen Yan wanted to do, he would support it unconditionally.

"Okay, I'll be out soon." Shen Yan got off the carriage.

She knew that Xie Huaijing was very smart and must have guessed that there was a secret between her and Emperor Xuande.

It's not that she deliberately hid it from Xie Huaijing, but it's just that it's not the right time to tell her now.

When Shen Yan arrived at the imperial study, Emperor Xuande was already waiting there.

"I have seen the Emperor." Shen Yan presented the Red Sky Sword with both hands, "Please take back the Red Sky Sword."

Emperor Xuande nodded, took the Red Sky Sword, placed it on the royal table, and asked, "What was the result?"

Shen Yan replied, "Demoted to a commoner and expelled from the capital."

"Very good." Emperor Xuande seemed to be relieved. He looked at Shen Yan, "The results of yesterday's assessment are out."

"My daughter is number one, right?" Shen Yan asked.

"That's right." Emperor Xuande asked with a smile, "How confident are you?"

"As long as the emperor is here, my daughter must be number one."

"You mean I let things go on purpose?" Emperor Xuande smiled in surprise, "Shen Yan, what I need is a truly talented person, rather than relying on me to take the back door."

"Thankfully, I fulfilled my mission and completed the task assigned by the Emperor."

"Haha!" Xuande Emperor Longyan was delighted, "Not only did you complete the task, but you also did it very well. You are the most outstanding woman I have ever seen."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Shen Yan said.

"Shen Yan, you punished Xie Yunhui today. In the future, all the sharp blades will come towards you. Are you ready?" Emperor Xuande suddenly became serious.

"My daughter is ready."

"Okay, go ahead and do it. I will take care of everything for you." Emperor Xuande stroked the Red Sky Sword and looked at Shen Yan with expectant eyes, "I hope that one day, you will take the Red Sky Sword and crush the The injustice in the world must be eradicated from all the evil in the world.”

Shen Yan held up his hands with a serious expression, "I will live up to the emperor's trust and do my best with my life!"

Eunuch Chen stood guard outside the royal study, not letting even a mosquito get close.

No one knows that what Shen Yan and Emperor Xuande are discussing here is related to the great Qin Dynasty, and the gears of fate have begun to turn.

Half an hour later, Shen Yan left the palace, and she saw Xie Huaijing leaning next to the carriage waiting for her.

"Shen Yan, get in the carriage quickly, I have a gift for you." Xie Huaijing looked mysterious.

"What gift?" Shen Yan followed and got into the carriage.

Xie Huaijing said gently, "Close your eyes and stretch out your hands."

Shen Yan did as he was told.

"Okay, now you can open your eyes."

Shen Yan opened her eyes and saw a piece of paper in her left hand and a cup of tea in her right hand.

"I just went to the tea garden to buy this tea. Take a sip to quench your thirst."

Tea Garden is the best tea house in the capital. He was worried that Shen Yan was thirsty, so he bought it while Shen Yan was in the palace.

"Are you worried that there is no tea for me in the palace?" Shen Yanxiao asked, feeling warm in her heart.

"I just think the tea in the palace is not as good as the tea in the tea garden."

"Okay, the prince actually slandered the tea in the palace. What crime should he be guilty of?" Shen Yan deliberately teased Xie Huaijing.

Xie Huaijing's eyes were full of adoration, "You can punish me however you want. I won't even blink an eye if you want to kill me. But, are you willing to do it?"

Shen Yan hurriedly took a sip of tea and quickly changed the subject, "This tea is indeed delicious, not bad."

She looked at the paper on her left hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Turn over and take a look." Xie Huaijing said, "This is the news I just received. I think this is what you want most at the moment. The evidence has been prepared for you."

Shen Yan turned the paper over and his eyes fell on those words, "Shen Qingqing..."

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "As expected, you put all the evidence in front of me when I was about to investigate this matter. Xie Huaijing, you are really kind."

"However, if you are as smart and fast as you are, how can you be the most handsome man in the capital? Why do you want your reputation to be so bad?"

"Save your life." Xie Huaijing said.

Shen Yan thought of the poison in Xie Huaijing's body and the injuries on his body. Those were unusual, so she did not continue to ask.

"When do you want to do it?" Xie Huaijing asked Shen Yan while pointing at the paper.

Shen Yan put the paper up and said, "Wait for the right time." Wait for Shen Qingqing to climb to a high place, and then push her into the abyss.

At this time, Lin Xiaoliu's voice sounded outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, Dongqing wants to see Miss Shen and wants to tell Miss Shen a secret."
