Inside the Zichen Hall.

Emperor Hexi looked at the thing in his hand and carefully examined it, saying, "Is this the sacred object from Beiyuan?"

The prince nodded and said, "Thanks to Chang Yun, he used a good strategy to get this thing."

Not only that, he also extorted money from the Liu family, who had been helping Beiyuan for a long time. After this incident, the Liu family was completely devastated.

After getting rid of Beiyuan's biggest financial support in Dawei, and now getting the Beiyuan sacred object, it will be of great benefit to them in eradicating Beiyuan in the future.

“Hahahahahaha,” Emperor Hexi was delighted. He waved his hand and said, “Tell me, Changyun, what reward do you want?”

Shen Changyun raised his lips and said, "Since Your Majesty loves me so much, I will not be polite to Your Majesty. I really have something I would like to ask for Your Majesty's permission."

Emperor Hexi and the Crown Prince glanced at him together, curled their lips speechlessly, and thought to themselves, when have you ever been polite?

Emperor Hexi pointed at the prince and said, "As long as you don't ask me to give you the throne, or give you this kid's position, you can have whatever you want."

Shen Changyun bowed his body and clasped his hands, saying, "I would like to ask for an imperial decree, granting me the grace of never taking a concubine and staying with my wife for the rest of my life."

*

In the carriage leaving the palace, Li Qingqian held the imperial edict in disbelief.

"You asked for such an imperial decree? You actually asked for such an imperial decree?"

"How is it? Are you happy?" Shen Changyun was waiting for her praise.

Li Qingqian looked at him suspiciously: "You really don't plan to take a concubine, I thought you were just kidding me last time."

"You've been holding this imperial edict and looking at it all night. Are you so happy that you've gone crazy?" Shen Changyun pinched her face.

Emperor Hexi summoned his ministers to discuss important matters at night, but after dark no outsiders were allowed to enter the palace, so they all stayed in the East Palace last night.

Li Qingqian gently pushed his hand away and looked at him seriously: "Shen Changyun, I tell you clearly, if you don't give me hope from the beginning, I won't say anything if you take a concubine in the future. But you have already come this far, if you dare to betray me in the future, I will kill you myself before the emperor executes you."

Shen Changyun was not angry at her threat, but felt even sweeter in his heart.

"Of course. With the imperial decree, do you think I have any way out?"

Li Qingqian didn't even notice that the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She gently held Shen Changyun's hand and said, "You have blocked all your escape routes."

Shen Changyun leaned back lazily and looked at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, but there seemed to be a layer of danger in his eyes.

"Then Qianqian, I want you to be like me and only love me in this life. If I know that you have another man in your heart, I will not let you go."

It sounds like the words of a madman.

But Li Qingqian believed that she did not dislike Shen Changyun like this.

She curled her lips, suddenly leaned over and captured his lips.

This time, Shen Changyun seemed to have anticipated what she was going to do. He did not hide, but instead took the opportunity to hug her closer to him.

The two of them breathed in each other passionately, and it seemed as if something had completely settled down at this moment.

When the carriage arrived at the Li Mansion, Shen Changyun was about to get off to help Li Qingqian, but the moment the coachman opened the door, he saw a familiar face.

Shen Changyun turned around and looked at Li Qingqian with amusement, "Qianqian, it seems that we can't do as you said. I have to leave after sending you home. Look, who is that?"

Li Qingqian followed his gaze and found that it was Jiang Lin.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the gate of Li Mansion, looking at him with eyes wide open.

Li Qingqian waved her hand: "It's none of our business. He's here to pay back Li Shuyue. You should do what you have to do. Also, you must keep this imperial edict carefully."

Shen Changyun smiled and said, "Of course. But my lady, I really can't leave right now."

"why?"

Shen Changyun didn't answer her, but got out of the car by himself, gave Jiang Lin a provocative smile, then turned around and stretched out his hands to Li Qingqian, "Come, my lady, let your husband help you get out of the car."

This time, Li Qingqian did not say anything to stop him from calling her by the inappropriate name. It would only be a few days, so she just let him be.

So she reached out her hand, and with his help she got out of the car with a smile.

Then he pretended to notice Jiang Lin's presence and said, "Hey, Mr. Jiang, you're here to pay back the money?"

After these words were spoken, Jiang Lin's already gloomy and embarrassed expression turned even darker than the bottom of a pot.

"How can you be so disrespectful in broad daylight?"

Li Qingqian snorted disdainfully and said bluntly, "Mr. Jiang, this is really funny. My future husband helped me get out of the car at the door of my house. How is this so inappropriate?"

Jiang Lin certainly knew that they were about to get married, but after thinking about it last night, he already believed that Li Qingqian really liked him.

Since he likes me, he must remain chaste for me. How can he be so intimate with another man?

"Third Miss reprimanded me yesterday, saying that I was trying to get close to the emperor by calling Master Shen aunt and brother-in-law. So what does it mean for you to call me that today?"

Seeing Jiang Lin being so righteous, Shen Changyun even laughed out of anger.

"No, the third daughter of the Li family is going to marry me on the second day of next month, so what's wrong with me calling her that? As for whether to marry or not, doesn't it depend on the actual situation? She is my soon-to-be wife, so it's okay for me to call her that, but what status do you have to call me aunt and brother-in-law?"

Jiang Lin's face became even gloomier, but he couldn't say anything.

Shen Changyun said, "Besides, maybe Young Master Jiang also wants to establish a relationship with me directly and wants to enter my Zhenguo Mansion to be my concubine? Sorry, I don't have the habit of being gay."

"You!" Jiang Lin couldn't help it anymore and cast his gaze to Li Qingqian who was standing beside him. "Third Miss, aren't you going to say something for me?"

Li Qingqian shrugged: "I'm not your mother, why should I protect you?"

The couple sang the same tune, making Jiang Lin feel even more embarrassed.

He glared at Li Qingqian and said as if it was a gift: "I'll give you one last chance, do you want to say something for me?"

"Snapped!"

Before Li Qingqian could say anything, Shen Changyun took out a whip from somewhere and swung it hard. The next moment, the long whip tightly wrapped around Jiang Lin's neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Shen Changyun said coldly: "Who are you to dare to yell at the future wife of the Crown Prince? Are you ordering her around? You are so bold!"

He exerted force with his hands and Jiang Lin fell to the ground.

Because of the feeling of suffocation, the veins on Jiang Lin's forehead bulged, and his eyes twitched so much that he even started to roll his eyes.

But he still looked at Li Qingqian unwillingly, and his eyes seemed to say: As long as you let Shen Changyun let go now, I will give you another chance to approach me.

Humph, how ridiculous. He was the one who was rude in the first place. How could he have the nerve to ask me to persuade Shen Changyun to stop?

Li Qingqian didn't say much, but looked at him coldly until he almost fainted. It seemed that she was not looking at her beloved, but at her mortal enemy.

Life-and-death enemy? Jiang Lin didn't know what deep hatred he had with her. Could it be that she had reached the point where she hated him because of love?

Coincidentally, Li Qingqian didn't know what deep hatred she had with him and Ling Ling in her previous life, which made the two of them drive her crazy and torture her even when she had helped them many times.

She didn't think that Jiang Lin, who had no idea what grudge he had against her at the moment, was innocent. If Jiang Lin was innocent at the moment, then she was even more innocent in her previous life. Since she came back with her memories, why should she let her enemy go?

Li Qingqian even hoped that Shen Changyun could tighten the whip a little more, so that Jiang Lin would die in agony under such torture. She would only feel refreshed.

But this is not enough. If he died now, he would not experience the pain of his brothers in his previous life.

She wanted him to continue living, as she still had a lot of resentment to vent.

So when he was about to breathe, Li Qingqian gently raised her hand and said to Shen Changyun: "We are about to get married. Don't dirty your hands because of such a person."

Sure enough, after Li Qingqian's appearance, Shen Changyun suddenly regained his senses and loosened the whip in his hand, but still did not let go of Jiang Lin's neck.

"Since Young Master Jiang is here, let's take him in and return Fourth Sister's money first."

Shen Changyun looked at her and curled his lips: "That's just right, I'll go in and pay my respects to my future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Oh, by the way, Mr. Jiang, the emperor has granted me and Miss Li San a royal decree to marry, which means he has approved this matter. If you think that my address to Miss Li San just now is inappropriate, shall we go to the palace and argue with the emperor later?"

Jiang Lin was shocked. How could this be possible?

But now he was unable to move or speak, and could only be dragged inside by Shen Changyun in a panic.
