Shen Changyun raised his eyebrows, "How did you guess that?"

"When you told me last time that Beiyuan proposed exchanging princes in the middle of last year, I was a little suspicious. Shen Changyun, you don't seem like the type to not retaliate after being provoked," Li Qingqian suddenly became playful and gently put her hands around his neck, threatening him, "Tell me, how many things are you hiding from me?"

Shen Changyun looked at her with a smile. She suddenly leaned over to him. In order to prevent her from falling, he had to hold her waist and back with both hands.

"If I don't tell you, what are you going to do to me?"

"If you confess honestly, I'll let you go. If you don't, hmm, hmm, you'll be severely punished!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Changyun actually lay directly on the black fox rug behind him, showing a state of surrender, "Oh, then come quickly, my wife, your husband will never resist."

Li Qingqian looked at him speechlessly.

Shen Changyun didn't say anything.

Stare again.

Still didn't speak.

Li Qingqian sighed helplessly, collapsed directly on his chest, and said coquettishly: "Oh, husband, just tell me, you see I have guessed the beginning, if you don't tell me how exciting the process of this matter is, I will not be able to sleep tonight."

Shen Changyun stroked her hair and said lovingly, "That's okay. You can sleep with me tonight."

"Shen Changyun, I'm angry!"

He then burst out laughing and told Li Qingqian about the incident.

Actually, they are the ones who are in the wrong.

Several emperors of Dawei were well aware of Beiyuan's intentions, especially the old emperor, who had been dissatisfied with Beiyuan for a long time.

So at the beginning of last year, when Shen Changyun asked Emperor Hexi for an imperial decree to grant him a marriage with Li Qingqian, Emperor Hexi took advantage of the situation and threw a condition at him: as long as he secretly went to Beiyuan with the prince to investigate the secrets of the mysterious forces in Beiyuan, he would agree to grant him a marriage with Li Qingqian.

At that time, Shen Changyun wanted to marry Li Qingqian, but he was worried that she would not want to marry him because of Jiang Lin. Only after receiving the imperial decree of marriage, Li Qingqian had to marry him no matter what.

So I agreed immediately.

Even the prince laughed at him at the time, saying that he was blinded by beauty and agreed to such a dangerous thing.

Shen Changyun just smiled and tightly grasped the jade pendant engraved with his and Li Qingqian's names, "I am willing to go."

However, Beiyuan is a cold place with steep mountains, so it is not easy to find the secret of Beiyuan.

Both Shen Changyun and the prince suffered serious injuries at the time, but fortunately, they did not arouse suspicion among the people of Beiyuan.

"But it's not a complete loss." Shen Changyun smiled mysteriously.

Li Qingqian was feeling annoyed about Shen Changyun's injury and was not very interested in this matter. She asked casually, "What is it?"

Shen Changyun whispered a few words into her ear.

Li Qingqian's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"How can I lie to you?" He muttered in dissatisfaction, "Weren't you still immersed in my injury just now? You changed your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book."

Li Qingqian pulled him over to take a closer look. "You're not missing any limbs, so of course I should be optimistic. Oh, by the way, why are you telling me this so easily?"

Shen Changyun shrugged, "What's the big deal? The prince has also told the princess."

*

East Palace.

The palace maid brought Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun to the main hall and then left. It made sense. It was getting dark outside, and they must have something important to discuss when they entered the East Palace.

Shen Changyun took Li Qingqian's hand and was about to push the door open when he heard a woman's shouting from inside the hall: "Jiang Huaijing! Bah! Stay away from me!"

The two stared blankly into the hall.

"Hey, hey, hey," Li Qingqian widened her eyes in shock and looked at Shen Changyun beside her, "Is this the Crown Princess' voice?"

Shen Changyun swallowed and smiled at her, "It's okay, I have a good relationship with the prince and his wife, the princess only treats the prince like this. At least the prince is still normal."

But after he finished speaking, the prince's voice was heard again in the palace: "My lady, those two guys haven't come yet. Come on, let me hug you again."

Shen Changyun stood there in a daze. The slap in the face came so quickly.

Li Qingqian's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "'Those two guys', are they talking about us?"

Shen Changyun sighed helplessly and walked in with Li Qingqian.

"Your servant Shen Changyun greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess."

"Your servant Li Qingqian greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess straightened her outer garment, glared at the Crown Prince with some resentment, and hurriedly took Li Qingqian's hand and walked towards the inner room.

"A Qian is here. They have something to discuss. I also have something to give you. Come quickly."

Li Qingqian was being held by the arm, following closely behind the Crown Princess, feeling a little dazed.

In his previous life, the Crown Prince disdained to fight openly or secretly with the people in the court, and the Crown Princess was also indifferent.

But no matter how Buddhist she is, she is still relatively aloof. How could she think of the "straightforwardness" she just heard?

Moreover, in his previous life, in order to help Jiang Lin, he had offended them again and again. Although he felt guilty, he knew that he could not turn back.

Now that he was walking so closely with her, Li Qingqian was still a little uncomfortable with it.

The Crown Princess took her to the inner room, took out a small box from the cabinet, and waved at her, "Come quickly, these are for you."

Li Qingqian went forward and took a look. It was a box about ten inches long and fifteen inches high. It was filled with land deeds, house deeds, and silver bills.

She was a little confused: "Why did the queen give me this?"

"These are just some gifts from the Fifth Princess and I. Aren't you getting married? These are the dowries that she and I gave you," she waved her hand generously. "I heard that you call Fifth Sister Huairong in private, so don't be polite to me. When you're alone, just call me Yunhan."

The Crown Princess stuffed the dowry box into her hands and said, "The Crown Prince told me that among these royal descendants, apart from the Fifth Princess who is his half-sister, it is his cousin Chang Yun who has the best relationship with him. And the Fifth Princess likes you so much..."

When she said this, the Crown Princess had a strange look on her face, as if she had something to hide, so Li Qingqian didn't intend to ask any further questions.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Just keep these things. When you two get married, the prince will be the witness, and I will go with you to drink a glass of wedding wine and share in the joy." The Crown Princess said happily.

Although he was ten years older than her, he was like a child who loved to be in a lively atmosphere. Perhaps it was because she had married the prince so early and had children for him, so she had to restrain her temper.

For some reason, Li Qingqian felt a little sad and felt very sorry for the Crown Princess.

Apart from these, she still felt a little guilty.

In his previous life, the prince's position was very stable, but for some unknown reason, the little prince slipped, fell into the water, and drowned in the palace.

The little grandson of the emperor, who was already ten years old at the time, could already swim. The coroner also found marks of strangulation on his neck, which showed that someone had deliberately killed him.

The murderer is still unknown.

The Crown Prince and his wife also became estranged from the Emperor and Empress because of this incident.

But at that time, Li Qingqian could only see his own immediate interests, and actually helped Jiang Lin plot against the prince, causing Emperor Hexi, who still felt somewhat guilty towards the prince at that time, to completely hate him.

The Crown Princess reached out her hand in confusion, gently wiped away her tears, and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Don't you like these things? Then think about it carefully, what else do you want? Although my family is a declining family, we don't have other abilities, but we are rich, and we can get you anything."

The better she treated herself, the more guilty Li Qingqian felt. She looked at her seriously and apologized sincerely, "My lady, I'm sorry."

The Crown Princess was even more confused, "Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong."

Li Qingqian couldn't say it. After a long while, she asked, "My queen, can I come to the East Palace to see the little grandson and the little princess from time to time?"

The Crown Princess readily agreed: "I like you, and I think they will like you too. As long as you want, you can come to the East Palace to see them anytime."

Li Qingqian smiled and looked at the Crown Princess expectantly, "My Lady, is there anything you want?"

She now desperately wanted to make amends to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess tilted her head and thought for a while, and without being polite, she said, "I don't have anything special I want, but my biggest interests are eating, drinking and making money. I heard that you and Ah Ning's Changminglou is doing well, how about it, would you like to invite me to join you?"

Li Qingqian shook her head gently, "Changminglou welcomes you to taste the wine. But now that An Ning and I are sharing the profits, I'm afraid you won't get much if you join us now. Why don't I find another way for you to make money?"

The Crown Princess smiled slyly: "You want to make a fortune with me without telling An Ning?"

Although it felt a bit strange to say this, Li Qingqian still nodded, "That's fine."

By partnering with the Crown Princess to open a jewelry store, not only can he gain extra capital and an extra guarantee for going to Xiliang, but he can also make up for his debt to the Crown Princess in his previous life while making profits for himself, thus killing two birds with one stone.
