"In that case, Your Highness the Crown Prince is superfluous." Bu Shulin grinned.
Shen Xihe glanced at her calmly and said, "I will enter the palace tomorrow to help you lead the bad guys astray."
His smile froze, Bu Shulin:…
Seeing her face change so quickly, Shen Xihe couldn't help but laugh: "You came here just to chat with me?"
"I heard that the Queen Mother was going to hold a spring banquet in the spring. According to the news from the palace, she was going to select concubines for the princes." Bu Shulin said excitedly, "I don't know if it was for this reason that the Fifth Princess didn't come to bother me. I was worried for several days before returning to the capital."
"She doesn't bother you because I'm not here." Shen Xihe said calmly, "When I enter the palace tomorrow, she will definitely become stronger."
Bu Shulin:
"Why doesn't she bother me when you're not around?" Bu Shulin was puzzled. A thought flashed through her mind, and she smiled conceitedly, "Could it be that she mistakenly thought that you were in love with me and was worried that I would be seduced away by you?"
Shen Xihe looked at Bu Shulin calmly with the eyes of a fool: "She was afraid that I would kill her, so she lent you to save her life."
Bu Shulin:!!!
After being shocked for a moment, Bu Shulin asked, "Why did you want to kill her?"
"Princess Changling targeted me. She was the one who instigated it." Shen Xihe said in a low voice while gently fiddling with the emerald green leaves.
"She is instigating? Why?" Bu Shulin couldn't understand why Princess Yangling wanted to instigate Princess Changling to go against Shen Xihe.
"I don't know. She must have been instructed or threatened by someone." Shen Xihe looked ahead. The wind blew her black hair, outlining half of her face, adding a touch of charm. "I saved her life until now for the sake of the people behind her. In order to save her life, she was quite smart and relied on you."
She turned her head and looked at Bu Shulin with some regret: "You are just a life-saving object for her."
Bu Shulin: …
She thought she was extremely charming, but the truth turned out to be so unbearable. She felt so upset.
Because of Bu Shulin, Shen Xihe couldn't easily take action against Princess Yangling, otherwise the first person to be suspected would be Bu Shulin. The fifth princess was quite smart.
Bu Shulin was heartbroken for a moment, but soon he thought of something else and said happily, "It turns out that even the Fifth Princess knows that you care about me. You can spare her life for my sake."
Shen Xihe chuckled barely audibly: "The Fifth Princess is a good match for you."
"What do you mean?" Bu Shulin always felt that this was belittling her.
"Equally stupid." Shen Xihe said, turned around and left.
She spared the Fifth Princess' life because of the person behind the Fifth Princess. She wanted the Fifth Princess' life, and it would be useless no matter who the Fifth Princess hooked up with.
There are countless ways to avoid implicating Bu Shulin, but only the Fifth Princess and Bu Shulin truly think that this will ensure safety.
She was about to come of age, and her father was going to the capital. He didn't want a funeral to interfere with her wedding, so he allowed her to live a few more days.
If she had discovered a few months earlier that the Fifth Princess wasted her time like this, would she really have thought that she must know the person behind it? She had always been impatient with her enemies and was particular about a quick victory. Giving the Fifth Princess one or two chances was already the limit.
The next day, Shen Xihe went to the palace. When she came back, she wanted to thank Emperor Youning and visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and then bring Sui Axi back to the palace.
