As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Chapter 123 Encircling the Treasure

Li Wenxuan's face looked a little ugly. He was already in a irritable mood, and Li Niang's change naturally made his already bad mood even gloomier.

"What is the problem."

It wasn't even a question, but an inquiry, and he stared at her with sharp and cold eyes.

Xiao Sun, who had been sitting aside without saying a word, acting like an invisible person, finally felt that the atmosphere was suffocating. She first glanced cautiously at Li Wenxuan, who looked unhappy.

He quietly pulled Li Niang's sleeve under his sleeve, signaling her not to make His Highness angry at this time.

Although what she didn't understand even more was why Li Niang, who had always been the one who understood His Highness's eyes best, suddenly became a little strange.

Li Niang also realized that she had lost control. She secretly suppressed her emotions, looked at Li Wenxuan innocently and said, "I have no problem. I am just a little surprised to hear Your Highness talking about this all of a sudden."

"Of course, I will assist the princess and concubine wholeheartedly."

Seeing her flattering and submissive appearance, Li Wenxuan ignored the look in his eyes and sat aside with his eyes closed without questioning her.

Li Niang saw that although his expression was still not very good, it had obviously eased up, and the trembling in her heart subsided.

This abnormality made Li Niang realize that something must have happened in the mansion today, otherwise he would not suddenly tell her this in the carriage.

It was obvious that everything he did before had condoned this to happen.

Li Niang couldn't help but think of someone, the wife of Marquis Changning, Shen Lanyue.

Once this thought came to her mind, she could not let it go. She felt a chill and shivered uncontrollably. She did not dare to show it, so she could only hold her sleeve tightly and lower her eyes to avoid looking at anyone.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Shen Lanyue.

…………

At the same time, Shen Lanyue was also chatting with Meng Changce about several princes in the carriage. The current situation is completely different from that in the previous life. The second prince, who has absolute advantages, has returned to Beijing.

So can Meng Changce still support the Sixth Prince to ascend the throne in this life?

But today, Shen Lanyue just took a quick look and didn't see any signs of panic in Meng Changce. He was even in the same occasion with Li Jing, and they were so harmonious, as if nothing had happened between them before.

"When will the second imperial concubine's funeral be held?" Shen Lanyue asked with her beautiful eyes flashing a few times.

Meng Changce squeezed the delicate fingers in his hand and said lazily, "The day after tomorrow."

Shen Lanyue was silent for a moment. Half a month had passed since the Second Imperial Concubine's death. Even with special methods, she could no longer maintain her appearance and figure.

"The second prince..." Shen Lanyue was a little hesitant. She didn't know how to ask.

Meng Changce just glanced at her, chuckled a few times, and said directly: "He will not leave Beijing for the time being."

Even though Shen Lanyue guessed this, she still couldn't help but shrink her pupils and felt a little worried.

"He doesn't leave only because he wants to avenge his princess. He has long lost interest in the throne." Meng Changce met her eyes and spoke very slowly and casually.

"That's not what he wants."

Shen Lanyue's eyes really widened, and the curiosity in her eyes reached its peak.

Revenge? Wasn't the Second Imperial Concubine killed by the enemy troops on the border? Why did she still have revenge to take in the capital?

Is it...

"It's a spy."

Shen Lanyue said this in surprise and panic.

Meng Changce's eyes showed some praise, and he replied in a cold tone: "Yes."

"Yes, Your Highness..." Shen Lanyue took over his words, staring into his eyes and said solemnly.

Meng Changce raised his brows slightly, his eyes were as deep as an unbottomed cold pond, his expression became deep and mysterious, and the curve of his mouth deepened.

He squeezed the hand in his hand inch by inch, neither lightly nor hard, then separated her five fingers and inserted them into them.

Five fingers clasped together.

"Yes."

His eyes became extremely bright at this moment, and there was an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shen Lanyue lowered her eyes and quickly passed through the several princes in her mind, finally stopping at the face that seemed gentle and approachable.

"Fourth Prince."

She spoke softly, but without any hesitation.

Meng Changce smiled, and this time his smile was so obvious that it was even visible in the corners of his eyes.

When Shen Lanyue wasn't noticing, his eyes flashed red for a moment, with a hint of madness.

He was like a dragon who had discovered a huge treasure, and now he wanted to hold this glittering pearl in his arms so that no one could find it.

Shen Lanyue didn't notice his change.

She just felt that Li Wenxuan would not have done this. This was not his method, and besides, it would not be of much benefit to him.

However, the Fourth Prince, who was also raised by the Queen, was different. The most important point was that his series of actions towards Meng Changce in the past six months were abnormal.

Shen Lanyue couldn't help but think of what Meng Changce had once told her about his father.

Perhaps Li Jing also discovered this problem. He wanted to threaten Meng Changce to provide evidence of the matter, either by writing a blood letter or speaking in the future, in order to shatter the image of the current emperor.

Among these princes, the most important person who has a conflict of interest with the second prince is the fourth prince Li Jing.

What surprised Meng Changce was that compared to Shen Lanyue's immaturity in many things at the beginning, she can now figure out who the real culprit is in her mind just by observing some details.

He even felt at this time that perhaps God was making it up to him by sending this person who met his expectations in every way to him.

The Third Prince's Mansion at this time

Shen Wanqing looked at the food on the table, and the veins on her forehead were about to pop out.

It was extremely simple, with little food and clothing, which was a world of difference from her previous life. Even when she went to the temple to avoid the queen's punishment, she had never lived such a life.

Shen Wanqing looked at the desolate and silent room, her eyelids trembling with anger. She clenched the corner of the table tightly and forced herself to calm down.

"What about people!"

"Where are all the dead people?" Shen Wanqing shouted loudly. She could only hear her own voice inside and outside the house.

A gust of wind blew by, and Shen Wanqing felt her body go cold. The anger in her heart erupted like a volcano, and she lifted the table and pushed it to the ground.

Shen Wanqing's breathing was rapid, sweat was on her forehead, and her eyes were red. She no longer had that stunning beauty, and her face was terrifyingly pale.

"Someone come." She fell back, supported herself on the chair beside her and shouted miserably.

Perhaps the noise of overturning the table was too loud, and a maid finally came in. She just glanced at her coldly, and ignored her without any response.

"I thought I was a concubine now, so I don't have to eat it."

Shen Wanqing heard the maid's mocking words and pointed at her angrily: "You..."

"That's also your master, who told you to do this!"

A familiar and cold voice came into Shen Wanqing's ears.
