Shen Qing hesitated for a moment, because she realized that there were several key points in this statement, namely danger, consultation and help. The turn was so fast that she didn't know which key point to focus on first.
The two returned to the main wing of the palace. Shen Qing sent the palace eunuchs sent by the Holy One to wait outside. They entered the room and took a casual look around. They walked to the table in the room and poured two cups of tea and handed them to them.
To Lian Si behind her.
"What happened? What danger did you encounter?"
Ji Liansi took the tea, but had no intention of drinking it. He pulled her to sit on the round stool beside the table. The original happy mood of meeting the sisters gradually dissipated, and there was a look of sadness and uneasiness between her eyebrows.
"Qingluo, you know Princess Xue's way of dealing with people. Ever since I returned to the imperial city with the Sixth Prince, I have been in worry and panic every day. Princess Xue is jealous that I have won the favor of the Sixth Prince and always makes things difficult for me.
They threaten me from time to time."
Shen Qing was stunned and speechless. She had said that following the Sixth Prince would definitely not be a good thing, but at that time Lian Si refused to listen to her.
"It was only after I entered the palace that I learned that none of the women who had appeared around the Sixth Prince had a good ending. There were many who were foolish and crazy, and there were countless who died unexpectedly. I was very scared. I was afraid that if this continued, I
I’m afraid I won’t live much longer.”
In the palace, it was almost an open secret that Xue Yixuan treated those women tyrannically and cruelly. It was only because of her clever methods and the support of the Empress Dowager that no one dared to touch her.
Ji Liansi's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't know why Xue Yixuan hadn't killed her yet, but if Xue Yixuan wanted to harm her, she would be completely unable to fight back. Deep down in her heart, she was really afraid of this happening.
.
Shen Qing vaguely remembered some things Yun Zhi told her, and also experienced Xue Yixuan's vicious methods. At that time, Lian Si was obsessed with it. Maybe he came to her today because he saw clearly the danger and complexity of this deep palace and wanted to
He left, "If you want to leave the palace, I should be able to help."
Based on her friendship with the old emperor, it shouldn't be difficult to ask him for someone.
"No, it's not," Ji Liansi said, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Qingluo, I am already the sixth prince's, and my person and heart belong to him. Even if I stay with him, I will encounter
No matter how great the danger is, I don't want to leave him."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment. This fear and determination were extremely contradictory. She was confused, "Then how do you want me to help you?"
"I know you are preparing for the Winter Solstice celebration for Your Majesty," Ji Liansi held her hand, with a look of helplessness and sincere pleading in her eyes, "I am still just a concubine beside the Sixth Prince, I hope you can
Help me to attract the attention of the Holy Emperor, the Queen and others at the celebration. I want the Sixth Prince to give me a title that can protect me."
I don't know if she was influenced by Xue Yixuan, but Shen Qing suddenly had an inexplicable suspicion in her heart. These words made her feel that Lian Si was using her to gain further status and power.
Seeing her hesitation, Ji Liansi was moved and continued to plead softly, "Qingluo, you and I have been sisters since childhood, and we never could bear to see each other bullied. When I was young, I couldn't bear to see you bullied by Ruyue and Auntie.
I asked grandpa to make up a reason to invite you to come home to take shelter. That day at the hunting ground, I was slapped by Xue Yixuan, and you stepped forward to protect me. Now if I don’t get this opportunity, I’m afraid that even the chance of survival will be lost in the future.
and lost.”
"I just want to stay with the one I love forever, Qingluo, will you help me, right?"
Shen Qing secretly took a deep breath and made a decision in her heart. Whether Lian Si wanted to use her to gain status and power, or she really wanted to stay with the Sixth Prince forever, she would help her.
Because she had made a promise to herself to protect Lian Si, and because Lian Si had protected Shen Qingluo back then, after she left the palace, they would never have any intersection again. She did her best to help her this last time.
Think of it as repaying all the love for Shen Qingluo.

It started to rain sparsely before leaving the palace. Shen Qing went to see the bluestone disk of the inner lake and the entire imperial garden alone. Since Ji Liansi had agreed, she had to have some plans for the Winter Solstice celebration.
changed.
I silently constructed the scene of the celebration in my mind, thinking about how to design it. After observing it for a while, I was about to leave when I accidentally caught a glimpse of the Sixth Prince walking towards Manxiang Garden.
Shen Qing firmly believes in a truth. If a person's mood fluctuates too much in a day, or if he hears, sees, or knows too much information, it will easily affect his sleep. Since she is likely to be extremely busy in the near future, she should take a closer look.
After finding out that the man was indeed Fu Yanche, Shen Qing immediately left the Imperial Garden without looking back.
She is now an internal staff member, so she really doesn’t have the time or energy to stir up inexplicable scandals. Besides, if the General finds out, he will definitely have to deal with it...
Behind her, Fu Yanche, who had already seen her, instantly raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand why she clearly saw him, but deliberately avoided it?
After Shen Qing returned to the hotel, he went back to the room without stopping to get rice paper and charcoal to draw down the ideas in his mind. In fact, holding a celebration in the palace was really simple, because the palace had complete hardware and the location of the venue was a minor issue.
, mainly because it was a bit troublesome to get to the novel program that the leaders in the palace were looking forward to.
When she was leaning her head and thinking hard, Xing'er came in with fragrant pork ribs and corn soup, which made Shen Qing, who hadn't eaten much all day, immediately move his index fingers. But before he started eating, the loyal meal party showed up immediately.
"Here, today's progress of the restaurant." Baili Yun put the notebook of the simple modification project on the table and unceremoniously tasted Xing'er's craftsmanship for her.
When Xing'er saw it, she turned around and went out, preparing to go to the kitchen to bring another big bowl of hot soup. Anyway, she cooked a lot today, so she wasn't worried that they wouldn't have enough to eat.
Shen Qing didn't pay attention. She grabbed the book and immediately reviewed it. The layout of the restaurant already agreed with her idea of this business, so she just changed the current style of the restaurant based on the current situation, and added a few more.
basic facilities required.
After closing the book, Shen Qing grabbed Yun Zhi, who was drinking soup leisurely, and asked, "By the way, have you found all the people I asked you to find for me?"
Baili Yunzhi hummed and smiled, "You underestimate me too much. Other things may be a little difficult. How can it be so difficult for me to find a woman?"
"Ha, of course I have not underestimated your charm, Brother Yunzhi. Otherwise, how could I dare to give you this task? But I see that you seem to regard the help I asked you as a job benefit. Are you not afraid of me and the princess?
Are you going to file a complaint?"
Baili Yunzhi immediately stopped after seeing the good news, "Don't cross the river and burn bridges. This is all done for you. How can I get any benefits?"
Shen Qing chuckled and said, "Okay, then I will go see the people you have found early tomorrow morning, and then go to the palace to prepare for the celebration."
