Xiao Pan comforted Chu Qingli for the pain of losing his mother, but he didn't see Chu Qingli's cunning appearance with a sigh of relief.

The matter of Yaji was already boiling in the capital, so it reached the ears of the emperor.

The emperor had long known that Shen Qiuyu was obsessed with Xiao Pan, and was afraid that she would really marry Xiao Pan, so he hurriedly gave Xiao Pan a marriage, but he didn't expect that Shen Qiuyu's love was so strong that he would rather be a concubine than marry into King Mu's mansion.

If it goes on like this, in case Shen Qiuyu really shakes Xiao Pan's heart, Xuan Guogong is a person who spoils his granddaughter very much, and even if he is the emperor, he will have to give Xuanguo Gong some face.

In order to avoid worries, the emperor has already intended to marry Shen Qiuyu to the eldest prince, and it can be regarded as not wronging her.

The emperor did not issue a direct order, but summoned Xuan Guogong and consulted with him secretly. After Xuanguo Gong returned to the house, he naturally wanted to probe Shen Qiuyu's tone, and the emperor had already spoken, even if they didn't want to, they had to agree. But how could Shen Qiuyu be willing to marry the eldest prince, she must find a way to stop the emperor's decree.

Shen Qiuyu was about to marry the eldest prince, or the second prince informed Chu Qingli and Xiao Pan.

"Now there is no difference between the crown prince and not, at this time, the emperor will marry Shen Qiuyu to the eldest brother, and it seems that he has the intention to pass the throne to the eldest brother." The second prince looked at Xiao Pan with a sad face.

Xuanguo Gong is a person who plays a pivotal role in Daqi, and the emperor gave such a person to the eldest prince as a backer, but he just took a fancy to the eldest prince.

Chu Qingli listened, and the first reaction in his mind was "Can Shen Qiuyu agree?" ”

"Shen Qiuyu agreed?" Chu Qingli asked the doubts in his heart.

The second prince shook his head, "My father hasn't made an order yet, but there are already rumors of this in the palace." Although the father asked Xuanguo Gong to go back to ask Shen Qiuyu's opinion, although he was Xuan Guogong, he could not disobey the emperor. ”

Even if there is one person below and ten thousand people above, you must obey the will of the superior one.

Chu Qing thought secretly, no wonder Shen Qiuyu has been so quiet these days, it turns out that he has encountered such a bad thing, he must have washed his face with tears at home, and begged Xuan Guogong.

Chu Qingli is not gloating, marrying someone he doesn't love is indeed tormenting, but it's a pity that their marriage has never been up to them.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing couldn't help but look at Xiao Pan, Xiao Pan looked back at him, he was stunned, worried that Chu Qingli wouldn't think he would be sad about this, right?

Xiao Pan comforted the second prince, "It's not decided yet, everything is still possible." "As long as the emperor does not decree that the throne will be passed to the eldest prince for a day, they will still have a chance.

After the second prince left, Xiao Pan saw Chu Qing meditating on his cheeks, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of her eyes, "What do you think?" Such a delirium? After she heard that Shen Qiuyu was going to marry the eldest prince, she became a little gloomy.

Chu Qingli sighed, and lazily turned his eyes to look at Xiao Pan, "I suddenly felt that Shen Qiuyu was still a little pitiful, just can't marry the person he likes, for the sake of power, he has to marry someone he doesn't love." ”

"Aren't you the most annoyed with her? Why do you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade today? Xiao Pan saw that Chu Qingli was sullen and wanted to make her happy, but obviously the effect was not good.

Chu Qingli changed one hand, but he still held his cheeks, looking sad and sad.

"I'm tired of her, isn't she admiring you and making trouble for me all day long?" If it weren't for this, Chu Qingli and Shen Qiuyu would probably be well water and not river water. In the final analysis, it is Xiao Pan's fault.

Xiao Pan thought for a while, looked at Chu Qingli and asked, "Then how did you feel when you heard the emperor's decree to let you marry me that day?" Xiao Pan was curious, Chu Qingli was so considerate of Shen Qiuyu, didn't he feel empathy?

Chu Qing sat up straight from a clever man, looked at Xiao Pan and said with a smile: "The prince is a dragon and phoenix among people, so he is naturally willing in his heart. ”

"The eldest prince is also one of the best talents?" Although Xiao Pan knew that Chu Qingli was just a flamboyant tongue, he was also happy in his heart.

Chu Qingli disagreed with Xiao Pan's statement, "That's different, I didn't belong at the time, but Shen Qiuyu gave you a sincere heart, and now I want to marry someone else, so I am naturally depressed and uncomfortable." ”

"If she marries the eldest prince, and the eldest prince is canonized as the crown prince, then she will be the second only woman in the palace after the queen mother and the queen, you still have to worry about yourself."

Xiao Pan joked and teased Chu Qingli, as long as he Xiao Pan was there, he would do his best to protect Chu Qingli for the rest of his life.

Chu Qingli reacted at this time, this is the truth. At that time, if Shen Qiuyu deliberately manipulated her, she would have to endure it respectfully, it would be terrible to think about.

Chu Qingli didn't have much sympathy for Shen Qiuyu originally, after all, Shen Qiuyu had framed her many times before, but now that she thought of this, she didn't have any pity at all.

"Forget it, it's all someone else's business, and it has nothing to do with me." Chu Qingli got up and went to the medicine room to study herbs instead.

Xiao Pan looked at Chu Qingli's back, he was really helpless.

On that day, Shen Qiuyu came to King Mu's mansion, but it was not as good as before, sad and pitiful, and there was no arrogance before at all.

Chu Qingli stood inside the door, looking at Shen Qiuyu outside the door, wary, "Miss Shen came today, why is it that?" ”

Shen Qiuyu raised his head, only to see that his eyes were red, obviously crying for a long time. Chu Qing couldn't help but be surprised, her appearance was really rare.

"Can I meet the prince?" Shen Qiuyu timidly asked Chu Qingli.

Shen Qiuyu suddenly became so polite, Chu Qingli was really a little unaccustomed. "Where is the prince in the study? I don't know what he meant. Chu Qingli prevaricated with Shen Qiuyu, now that she is the wife of the eldest prince who has not passed the door, if she is still entangled with Xiao Pan, I am afraid that she will not be very good for the prince.

Shen Qiuyu took a step forward, took Chu Qingli's hand, and begged bitterly, "You just let me see the prince, when I enter the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again." Shen Qiuyu thought that in the future, facing the eldest prince and guarding the huge palace, he was disheartened and had no hope.

Chu Qingli slowly withdrew his hand, "Since Miss Shen already knows that she is about to enter the palace, it is even more inconvenient to meet the prince, lest others gossip, tarnish the reputation of the prince, and ruin Miss Shen's innocence, Miss Shen please respect herself." ”

Chu Qing was driving Shen Qiuyu away from what he said, but today Shen Qiuyu was iron-hearted, and he had to see the prince.

Shen Qiuyu pushed Chu Qingli away and wanted to go straight inside. Chu Qingli turned around and grabbed Shen Qiuyu's wrist, "The prince hasn't promised to see you yet." Chu Qingli pushed Shen Qiuyu out of the door again.

Shen Qiuyu sat on the threshold, facing the street, with a sad face, "I'm afraid this is the last time I and the prince will meet outside the palace, don't you agree?" Shen Qiuyu questioned Chu Qingli.
