On the way back to the capital, Shen Qingxi had no chance to talk to Chu Ye. There were too many people in the army, and in full view of everyone, Shen Qingxi could not talk to Chu Ye alone. At dusk, the army returned to the capital, so Chu Ye naturally went back to the Qin Palace directly.

After Chu Ye became king, he had a royal mansion outside. However, Chu Ye occasionally lived in the palace and didn't know when he would be in the palace, but he lived alone. Shen Qingxi thought that if he got a good opportunity, he could go to the Qin Palace to see Chu Ye.

They went to the big hunt and came back so quickly that even the old lady didn't expect that when they arrived at the prime minister's mansion, the old lady asked them to speak in Zhishuiju. When they arrived at Zhishuiju, the old lady asked, "What's going on? Is something wrong? Why did they come back in ten days?"

In the past, it would take at least half a month to hunt. Including the time it took to go on the road, it would take more than half a month, but now it is too fast.

The old lady is not an ordinary lady, so she naturally has her own knowledge. Chen Huai said, "There is indeed something wrong. The Seventh Prince was assassinated on the hunting and was injured. The emperor was furious because of this and is thoroughly investigating the matter."

The old lady was shocked, "The Seventh Prince was assassinated?"

Chen Huai nodded, "Yes, not only that, now, I have also found the prince's body. It is said that the assassin has something from the East Palace."

The old lady was shocked, "What? Are there things from the Eastern Palace?"

Chen Huai nodded, "Yes, but what, there is no movement at the moment. The emperor is just afraid that his heart is also struggling to do what to do. After all, the prince is the prince, let alone the queen begging for mercy."

Chen Huai still didn't know that Shen Qingxi had experienced the bloody night. When he heard them talking, Shen Qingxi did not interrupt, but just listened calmly.

The old lady sighed, "Now the battle is getting more and more intense. In all dynasties, princes have to fight for the throne and turn blood into a river." As she said that, the old lady glared at Chen Huai, "You must be more stable. Don't surrender to anyone at such extraordinary moments."

If the old lady had put this advice in the past, Chen Huai would probably not take it seriously, but now the situation is changing, Chen Huai can listen a little.

He said, "Don't worry, Mother, I know that the situation is not good now, so I will be a straight minister and be loyal to the emperor. As for who will get the throne in the end, it is not something I can control. Let's see how the princes fight."

The old lady nodded, "That's right, now we just need to protect ourselves. We can't control everything else, and we don't need to worry about it."

Chen Huai nodded and glanced at Shen Qingxi, but he didn't know what he was thinking. After a moment, Chen Huai said, "Qingxi is also at the age of being a kinship. Does your mother have any ideas?"

Chen Huai, who used to be devoted to the royal family, only thinking that his daughter would marry into the royal family, he himself became successful and earned wealth for the Shen family for many generations. However, now the Crown Princess has settled, and he dared not join another prince. If he wanted to be the crown prince's concubine, the current situation was still a little unclear, so Chen Huai felt it was a bit difficult, but if he just married an ordinary family, Chen Huai would be unwilling to accept it.
