Shen Xijun immediately shook her head. "Impossible. Nineteen is just a maid. How could the prince …" Halfway through her words, she suddenly stopped talking. That beautiful Hibiscus face gradually twisted under the candlelight as she said while gritting her teeth, "I understand, it's Mu Qianxue. It must be her!"

Ah Zi whispered, "In addition, Princess Xun Ji had come to see the prince in the afternoon, so no one knows what they are talking about.

The corners of Shen Xijun's eyes twitched. After a while, she spoke with a gloomy and cold expression, "In that case, there isn't a single silver coin left in the Prince's Mansion?"

"If this matter is true, then within the estate..." I probably won't even be able to afford a few hundred taels of silver. " Just as Ah Zi's voice fell, a high quality, colorful glazed butterfly pattern teacup was ruthlessly thrown onto the ground, and pieces of porcelain scattered all over the ground, splattering and slicing the face of one of the servants, immediately revealing a dark red bloodstain. That person did not dare cry out in pain, and quickly kneeled on the ground in fear with a few other servants, begging Shen Xi Jun to calm his anger, the two were also terrified and did not dare to speak.

Shen Xi Jun said excitedly: "Mu Qianxue! Mu Qianxue! "She still wants to keep you busy. This time, she's taking all the silver from the house. I'm afraid the next time will be the whole House of Rui. What should we do then? Go sleep in the broken temple?" After a short pause, she said in both anger and distress, "Your Highness is also like this. How dare she accept your request?!"

Lan Lan said softly, "Prince has always been a loyal and loyal person. It's hard to avoid Princess Xuanji sending someone to plead with him …"

"Enough!" Shen Xijun impatiently interrupted and rubbed her throbbing forehead, "Do you know what she wants so much silver for?"

"I'm not sure about that." Seeing Shen Xijun's displeased expression, Ah Zi hurriedly said, "This servant will send someone to investigate."

Shen Xijun nodded. She got up and walked to the long window sill with the vermilion sculpture and pushed it open with all her might. Suddenly, a cold wind mixed with rainwater rushed towards her face and poured into her sleeve, draining her body's temperature in a split-second, causing her to feel extremely cold. However, she refused to let Ah Zi and the others close the window.

Staring at the pouring rain outside the window, Shen Xijun enunciated each word clearly, "Since she has left King Rui's mansion, she should not set foot in this place anymore. I will not give her the chance to harm your highness, definitely not!"

Ah Zi was afraid that she would do something unmanageable in her anger, so she advised, "This servant understands Zong Ji's feelings, but Your Highness treats …"

"I know." Shen Xijun turned around, her expression abnormally calm, "Right now, the most important thing is for the prince to assist the soldiers in battle. As for the rest … "We'll talk about it later!" The last few words, mixed in with the howling wind, were frigid.

After ordering people to withdraw a mouthful of untouched food, Shen Xijun brought Ah Zi and Ah Xing to the inner room and took out a brocade box from the top shelf of the purple sandalwood. After opening it, there was a box full of silver notes, each of which was worth a thousand taels of silver.

The two of them recognized her. This was the marriage that Princess Pingyang had given Shen Xijun when she married. It was a full hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if the Pingyang Family was wealthy, it still wasn't a small amount.

Shen Xijun took out twenty thousand taels and passed it to Ah Zi. "Take it to the tent so that they can maintain the household's expenses. It should be enough to maintain the prince's salary."

Ah Zi shook her head. "This is the money that the wangfei gave Zong Ji due to the emergency. How can we take it out to fill in this hole?"

"Yes," Alan agreed. "The Prince let him think of a way to deal with the fistula."

Shen Xijun gave a bitter smile. "Since I have married him, I am his man. The common folk have a saying: 'If you marry a chicken, then you marry a dog; if you marry a dog, then you marry a chicken; if you marry a dog, then you marry him and I." "However …" With a cold expression, she said, "Tell the accounting office that aside from normal expenses, no one is allowed to touch this silver without my permission. Otherwise, I will break his hands.

Although she acted recklessly and arrogantly, she truly loved Dongfang Qing. She also regarded Prince Rui's mansion as her final destination for the rest of her life. She didn't know … How would she feel when she found out the truth, or when Dongfang Wenshui and the Wei family clansmen confronted each other? How sad would she be? Or was it despair?

If she had known how to let go at that time, the road ahead might have been easier, but in the end … She still didn't release it!

After Ah Zi left, Lan stepped forward and said, "It's useless to have a bite of dinner, and you've already made such a big fuss over it. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Shen Xijun nodded her head casually, her gaze remaining on the direction of the West Branch …

Compared to Shen Xijun, Zhao Pingqing was undoubtedly quite pleased with herself. After being married for two days, Dongfang Shou stayed in her room, completely ignoring the head of the East District. Although this would further increase the estrangement between her and Shen Xijun, but … What could be more important than Dongfang Qing's favor? As long as she tightly gripped this favor, there was no need to fear anyone. Shen Xijun was like this, Mu Qianxue … It was the same!

However, she had always been unable to figure out Dongfang Zhi's thoughts towards Mu Qianxue. After asking around for the past two days, she found out that before Empress Dowager Wei gave the order to marry her, Dongfang Xi had once had a huge argument with Mu Qianxue. Afterwards, Dongfang Xi's attitude dimmed down, and she even moved out of King Rui's Estate, with very little interaction between them.

She was clearly disgusted, so why did she immediately pour everything into her mouth the moment she opened her mouth? This really didn't make sense. Did she miss something?

Despite her doubt, she didn't dare open her mouth to ask the sleeping Dongfang Shou, and could only silently guess in her heart.

The heavy rain covered the late night of Nanjing and the sounds of rain could be heard everywhere. "Bang bang bang." Gongfu was wearing a raincoat as he jogged through the empty streets. His rain shoes splashed on the wet streets.

"This set of battle strategy diagrams is truly mysterious. I originally thought that I would have already comprehended seventy to eighty percent of the battle strategy diagram by relying on that half of it, but only now do I know that I don't even have thirty percent of it."

"Less than three points?" Xia Yue opened her eyes in surprise, and immediately followed with her head shaking like a rattle drum, "This servant doesn't believe it."

Mu Qianxue raised her eyes and asked, "What do you not believe?"

"Princess is extremely intelligent, how could she possibly be stumped by a mere military strategy diagram? This servant doesn't believe anything she says."

Mu Qianxue faintly smiled, "Silly girl, it's not like I'm an immortal or something. Didn't you hear that 'there's always someone beyond the heavens'?"

Xia Yue squatted down and said with a smile, "In this servant's heart, Princess is a god, there's nothing she can't do!"

Mu Qianxue flicked her forehead with her finger and said with a smile, "Nonsense!"

Xia Yue's eyes curved into a smile. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the military strategy diagram on the table and couldn't help but think of that person from the day. She said with a face full of curiosity, "Princess, do you think that Young Master Zhang really believes you that much, or …" She pointed at her head. "It's no good here?"

Mu Qianxue laughed and said, "Little girl, you're spouting nonsense again, aren't you? Young Master Zhang's words are indeed extraordinary, and his eyes are clear and bright. How could he be abnormal?"
