Reborn Princess

Half a month passed, but Shen Xilan still hadn't received Zhou Cechen's letter, nor any news. She stood in front of the window looking outside. Surprisingly, the sun came out today.

A trace of worry flashed through Shen Xilan's heart. She placed her hand on the string of green beads she was wearing and gently twisted them.

Be safe.

"Your Majesty, someone has come from the Princess's palace and said they want to invite Your Majesty over for a chat." Birui came to report.

Shen Lilan frowned. Princess? Why did you let me enter the palace at this time?

"Go and report that the continuous rain has made me sick. I'm afraid that in the next few days..."

"Your servant greets Princess Ding'an." A shrill voice came from outside the house, and Shen Lilan frowned.

"Why did you enter the yard?"

Chao Yun came in and reported: "My lady, I failed in my duty. The eunuch broke in on his own, and there were guards outside. We couldn't stop him."

Shen Xuanlan thought about Zhou Tangyue in his previous life. He didn't have much impression of her. He just thought she was a noble and ostentatious princess. He didn't know where she stood or what she planned.

"Let's go." Shen Lilan said.

"Your Majesty, the princess is threatening us." Birui reminded.

Of course Shen Lilan knew it, but it was not appropriate to cause trouble now, and she could not easily reveal her trump card.

When she went out, Yanci stood guard at the door: "My Lady."

Shen Yanlan nodded: "You stay in the mansion, I will go to the Princess's mansion."

Yanci was about to stop him, but Shen Yanlan passed by him and brushed past him.

Yanci was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at her back with a frown.

Shen Lilan only took Chunhua and Qiushi to the princess's mansion.

When she entered the mansion, Zhou Tangyue was wearing a purple dress and lying on the beauty couch. Four lovers were sitting around her, fanning her and feeding her cherries.

She smiled, put a cherry in her mouth, and stroked your face with her bare hands.

"Your humble servant pays respects to the eldest princess." Shen Xilan paid her respects to Zhou Tangyue.

Zhou Tangyue supported herself with her hands and stood up. When she saw Shen Lilan, she smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is here."

"Sit down now."

Shen Xinglan sat in the armchair, but Zhou Tangyue had no intention of asking the four people to leave.

Shen Lilan looked at the four people with great interest; they were truly beautiful.

Zhou Tangyue glanced at Shen Lilan and didn't see that she was in the least bit uncomfortable, so he called her, "Sister-in-law, do you want to come over? I'll let the one who is best at serving people come and serve you."

Shen Lilan shook his head. "That's not necessary. The princess should keep her own people for herself."

Zhou Tangyue curled her lips and smiled, then waved her hand to send those people away.

"It's my fault. I forgot that my sister-in-law has a strong and handsome husband. She shouldn't need these things."

Shen Lilan didn't say anything.

Zhou Tangyue curled his lips: "You are very brave."

"The eldest princess is so complimentary."

"Don't you want to know why I asked you here?" Zhou Tangyue stood up and asked.

Shen Lilan: "If the princess wants to speak, she will speak naturally."

Zhou Tangyue laughed. The hall was already spacious and empty, and now his laughter echoed throughout the hall.

"But I don't want to talk about it now." Zhou Tangyue walked over slowly and looked down at Shen Lilan: "What should you do?"

Shen Yanlan said calmly, "Then please forgive me, Princess. I will take my leave first."

"Did I allow you to leave?" Zhou Tangyue's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Do you think that just because you married my good brother, everyone will respect you as a princess?"

"No, you don't deserve him."

Shen Yanlan didn't expect Zhou Tangyue to be so direct. She looked at Zhou Tangyue with a smile in her eyes: "I'm not worthy of him, but are you?"

Zhou Tangyue turned around: "In this world, I am the only one who deserves you."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Xilan's heart skipped a beat. She had only just realized that the person in front of her was actually interested in Zhou Cechen.

"He is your brother." Shen Lilan reminded her.

Zhou Tangyue laughed like he was going crazy and said, "So what? If I can't get him, then neither can you."

Shen Lilan ignored her. She stood up and said, "I'm different. Don't you feel it?"

Zhou Tangyue suddenly opened his eyes wide: "It's you! He treats you differently, but what if you die?"

"You want to kill me?" Shen Lilan asked.

"Kill you? Am I someone who would let you die so easily?"

"Don't worry, now that Jinzhi is not here, I will torture you slowly."

Shen Lilan stood there without saying anything.

Zhou Tangyue didn't care about Shen Lilan's reaction. She played with her nails and said, "Don't even think about leaving here."

After that, she turned around and left.

When Shen Lilan saw her leave, she looked around and saw that everything was sealed tightly. She was trapped in such a big hall.

She actually just found out that Zhou Tangyue had an almost pathological love for Zhou Cechen.

After Zhou Tangyue left, no one came into the palace. Shen Yanlan sat in the palace all day, from day to night. The sky gradually darkened and the palace gradually became colder.

Shen Lilan sat in a chair and waited.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Shen Yanlan listened to the sound vigilantly and saw a figure.

After a moment, the door was pushed open. Shen Lilan looked at the person who came and curled her lips. The guards of the princess's mansion were too useless.

"Your Majesty, I am late." Yanci said while kneeling on the ground.

Shen Yanlan asked him to get up, and then asked: "What's going on outside?"

"As your majesty expected, a large army has arrived at the outskirts of the city."

Shen Lilan asked: "Is there any news about the prince?"

Yanci immediately said: "I haven't received any news."

Shen Lilan stared at him: "Why are you panicking?"

"I will report truthfully."

"Did I ask you?" Shen Lilan looked at Yanci and said.

"Did something happen to him?"

He said, "Your Majesty, all is well."

"How do you know he is safe?" Shen Lilan stared at Yanci and asked.

I was at a loss for words when asked this question.

"I want to hear the truth."

After struggling for words for a moment, he said, "The prince was assassinated in Luzhou and there has been no news since then."

Shen Lilan's hands were shaking: "When did it happen?"

"Five days ago."

"Why don't you report it?"

"The prince said that any bad news should not be reported to the queen."

"So you guys are hiding this from me?"

Yanci stopped talking, Shen Yanlan clenched his hands under his sleeves: "Go find someone, bring the prince back no matter what."

"Yes."

"I will take the queen out." He said.

"No, I can't go out."

"Go back and guard the palace."

Yanci frowned: "My lady, this place is very dangerous."

"Zhou Tangyue must have teamed up with Zhou Chao. Only here can she feel at ease and not reveal her true colors."

Shen Lilan looked at Yanci with a firm gaze, "I want to stay here and find evidence of Zhou Tangyue and Zhou Chao's rebellion."

He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "I obey your command. But your majesty must be careful. If there is any danger, send a signal immediately."

Shen Yanlan nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. After Yanci left, she turned around and sat back in her chair, quietly thinking about her next plan.

At this moment, she was filled with worry about Zhou Cechen's safety.
