Chapter 100 Revenge Cannot Be Left Unseen.
The concubine beside him felt her heart leap to her throat, her face terribly tense.
Not far away, Zhang Xinjie also heard the Emperor's question, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
The concubine clenched her fists, quietly standing beside Li Haoran. If Shen Yulou truly dared to reveal the matter, she would spare no effort to kill Shen Yulou on the spot.
She would kill him first, then figure out how to explain it later.
Of course, it would be best if the matter wasn't exposed; killing Shen Yulou was only a last resort.
Shen Yulou quickly took off his clothes, then rolled them up and tucked them into his embrace.
"I apologize for letting Your Majesty see this. This is a love poem I wrote for the Princess.
I originally thought I was certain to die just now, which is why I put on this garment.
I thought that this life I had no fate with the Princess, but perhaps in the next life, we could be husband and wife."
Emperor Ren was taken aback.
"Minister Shen should be quite talented in literature, why not let me read it?"
The concubine beside him clenched her fists tightly, cold sweat streaming down her cheeks, flowing into the deep cleavage.
Shen Yulou, this fool!
If Emperor Ren truly saw it, then they would have no choice but to fight to the death!
Shen Yulou said with an embarrassed expression,
"Your Majesty, this letter contains private words between the Princess and me, some intimate words that only a married couple would exchange. It is not convenient for others to see, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Ren nodded, not pressing the matter.
"In that case, let it be. It seems your relationship with the Princess is developing well; I am very pleased.
Today's incident was due to me mistakenly listening to Sun Xun's slander. Minister Shen and the Princess, please do not take offense.
When you two get married, I will bestow an extra reward as compensation, how does that sound?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the Princess and I dare not have any complaints..."
Shen Yulou and the Princess exchanged a few polite words with Emperor Ren.
Emperor Ren said with a chuckle, "As for someone saying the Princess was rebelling, that is purely a rumor."
"I have already dispatched twenty thousand cavalry to Qinghe County, traveling day and night. This time, all the rebels will surely be annihilated.
I will have every rebel's identity verified, and then the Princess's innocence will definitely be restored."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Siyi, the Commandery Princess grew tense again, because she knew her uncle was among the rebels, and the Imperial Advisor had just mentioned her uncle's name, indicating that this old man had known about this matter for a long time.
If such a person were truly found, then even if the Princess didn't die, Emperor Ren would likely imprison her again, never allowing her to leave the house.
She glanced at Shen Yulou, who gave her a reassuring look.
Fortunately, Shen Yulou found a way to get rid of Fan Rui, otherwise this matter would have been quite difficult to handle.
Although Emperor Ren appeared somewhat remorseful towards them, in reality, he still had many doubts.
After all, Sun Xun's words were so convincing that if Emperor Ren didn't personally investigate, he would never feel at ease.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Shen Yulou suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, when I left last time, the little prince was a bit sleepy. I happened to gather some medicinal herbs this time and would like to go check on the little prince tonight."
Hearing this, the concubine's heart skipped a beat. She knew Shen Yulou's true intention was not the wine.
This fellow wasn't going to see the little prince; he was clearly going to see her!
Last time, Shen Yulou used that letter to lecture her, and this time he would undoubtedly beat her again.
Emperor Ren had no suspicions; this was originally Shen Yulou's job. "I didn't expect Minister Shen to think of my prince as soon as he returned. I am deeply pleased. You do not need to report to me when entering or leaving the Imperial Harem."
"As Your Majesty commands!"
Shen Yulou gave the concubine a sharp look. The concubine felt her legs go weak, and a blush appeared on her cheeks... Shen Yulou and the others returned to the Princesss Residence. Upon entering, the Princess carefully examined Shen Yulou's body, "How are you? Are you injured?"
Shen Yulou pointed to his chest, "Seeing you suffer, my heart is broken. Don't you think I'm badly hurt?"
The Princess's pretty face flushed, "The one truly suffering is you. Every day I think of you toiling on the road, and in mortal danger, my heart cannot find peace."
Hearing them talk, Song Hu rolled his eyes, feeling a bit nauseated, and quickly ran outside.
Qingqing, meanwhile, had a face full of questions.
What suffering did he endure?
He was having a great time every night!
She was the one suffering, alright?
Could an ordinary person handle a hat-trick?
Shen Yulou took out the silver notes he had collected and gave half to the Princess. Although they were not yet married, their marriage was already set in stone.
It was estimated that this time, the Imperial Clan Court would set an auspicious date and begin preparations.
The Princess was also somewhat surprised to receive so many silver notes.
"So much money, we must be careful with it."
Qingqing said, "No need to save money. If it runs out, just let Lord Shen go trick some more."
Shen Yulou:??
After resting at the Princesss Residence, Shen Yulou went to inform his parents of his safe return, then went back to the palace.
He didn't care about anything else; he was mainly eager to deal with the concubine.
Shen Yulou was someone who couldn't let revenge wait overnight; if it did, he would feel uncomfortable all over!
That little woman, the concubine, he thought he had subdued her last time, but he didn't expect her to forget him as soon as she pulled up her skirt.
When given the chance, she truly went for the kill!
Those who left the city today were all Li Haoran's subordinates. If he hadn't put on that garment for the concubine to see, he would probably be a ghost under the blade by now... After Shen Yulou left, only Qingqing and the Princess remained at home.
Qingqing meticulously recounted everything that happened along the way to the Princess. Hearing about Shen Yulou and the other two sneaking into the enemy camp to swindle five thousand taels of silver,
the Princess also found it thrilling.
"To enter the enemy's barracks alone, what kind of courage is that?"
The Princess's eyes were filled with admiration and adoration.
For a love-struck person like the Princess, the ability to self-imagine was the strongest. Although she hadn't witnessed it herself, the scene she imagined was definitely more exaggerated than what actually happened.
Qingqing also nodded, "That's right, I was so panicked at the time, but Lord Shen was completely calm, looking just like the dashing young masters written about in books..."
Seeing Qingqing's adoring expression,
the Princess was taken aback, "Didn't you have a problem with him? You went out once, and how did you change?"
Qingqing blushed a little and said,
"Actually, Lord Shen is quite good too. He's intelligent, almost on par with you, Princess. You two are truly a perfect match. After you get married, your lives will definitely be prosperous."
Looking at Qingqing's unusual behavior, the Princess frowned.
"Have you told me everything that happened along the way, down to the smallest detail? Are you sure you haven't missed anything?"
Qingqing lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes.
"Princess, actually... there's one more thing I haven't told you."
"Lord Shen... he said he wanted me to 'trial marriage'..."
"He also colluded with Song Hu to bribe the inn's waiter, saying there were only two rooms left."
Qingqing's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, like a mosquito's buzz.
The Princess frowned, "You gave in to him?"
Qingqing bit her lip and said, "He insisted
