Chapter 136 How dare you be jealous of the Crown Princess!
Mu Chenye learned in the palace that the assassin was sent by Shen Qingwan, and his face became terribly gloomy.
He clenched his fists, murderous intent surging in his heart.
"How dare she be so bold and reckless. I will make her pay the price."
Mu Chenye said coldly.
Mo Tong was filled with murderous intent and raised his hand to summon Qian Ji.
"Go and find out everything Shen Qingwan does. I will make sure she has nothing to hide."
Qianji took the order and left, while Mu Chenye sat on the chair with a cold look in his eyes.
His princess almost met with an accident, and he would never let Shen Qingwan off easily this time.
At the Marquis' Mansion, after Shen Tangan finished chatting with his brother, he talked to his mother for a while.
Lin looked at her daughter, her heart full of love: "An An, if you are wronged in the palace, you must tell your mother."
Shen Tangan shook her head: "Mother, the prince treats me very well, you don't have to worry."
Lin nodded: "That's good. Mother saw it when I came back last time. His Royal Highness Prince Chen treats you sincerely. You two must live in harmony."
Shen Tangan smiled and replied, "Don't worry, mother. I've made a note of it."
The sky gradually darkened, and Shen Tangan knew that it was time for him to return to the palace.
She said goodbye to her mother and brother and got on the sedan chair back to the palace.
Along the way, her mood was very complicated.
She originally had a little sympathy for Shen Qingwan, but now Shen Qingwan actually sent someone to assassinate her, she knew that she could no longer be soft-hearted.
After returning to the palace, Mu Chenye immediately came to greet him.
He hugged Shen Tangan tightly, as if to make sure that she was really safe.
"You are frightened today. Don't worry, I will not let Shen Qingwan go unpunished."
Mu Chenye said softly.
Shen Tangan leaned in his arms and said softly, "Your Highness, I know her crime is unforgivable, but this is a matter between her and me. I hope Your Highness will not interfere. I will handle it."
After all, Shen Qingwan is her sister in name, so Mu Chenye is not in a position to intervene.
And she is the only one who knows what Shen Qingwan cares about. Death is the easiest. She wants Shen Qingwan to lose everything and live a life worse than death!
Mu Chenye frowned slightly, looked at Shen Tangan, and finally sighed softly.
"Okay, but if she dares to do it again, I will never stand idly by."
Shen Tangan nodded, grateful for Mu Chenye's understanding of him.
She knew that Mu Chenye was always thinking about her safety no matter what.
At this time, Shen Qingwan was still dreaming in the Prince's Mansion that Shen Tangan was dead, but she didn't know that a disaster was about to happen.
Shen Qingwan was sitting uncomfortably in the Prince's Mansion, her originally pretty face distorted by anxiety and madness.
She kept thinking in her mind how she should pretend to be innocent in front of the prince once the news of Shen Tangan's death came, and how she should completely eliminate those who might know her conspiracy.
"Do you think it's done yet?"
Shen Qingwan stared at the maid beside her, with a hint of expectation and a bit of madness in her eyes.
The maid replied tremblingly: "It should have worked. Those assassins looked very skilled. I think Shen Tangan..."
Before she finished speaking, Shen Qingwan interrupted her: "Don't say anything unlucky. You must wait for the exact news."
Her voice was sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath, piercing the maid so much that she dared not say anything more.
In the palace, Shen Tangan began to plan how to deal with Shen Qingwan.
She knew that what Shen Qingwan cared about most was the prince's favor and the position of princess, so she called her own Xue Ji and whispered a few words to her.
Although Mu Chenye promised not to interfere, he still kept a close eye on Shen Tangan's every move.
He was worried that Shen Tangan would do something detrimental to him because of soft-heartedness or impulse.
Shen Tangan first had people secretly spread some rumors about Shen Qingwan being jealous of the Crown Princess and mistreating the servants in the Crown Prince's Mansion. These rumors spread quickly in the capital like wings.
After hearing these rumors, the prince's attitude towards Shen Qingwan, which was already cold because of the child, became even worse.
Before Shen Qingwan realized that all this was Shen Tangan's work, she received the news that the assassination had failed, and she felt hopeless in an instant.
After this failure, she would never have another chance. This was information she had finally extracted from her father!
The prince rushed into Shen Qingwan's room angrily, his originally gentle face now distorted by anger.
His eyes seemed to be burning with anger as he stared at Shen Qingwan, and his brocade robe swayed slightly with his hurried steps and angry emotions.
"Look at you, what do you look like? Now the whole palace is full of rumors about your evil deeds, about being jealous of the Crown Princess and mistreating the servants!"
The prince's voice exploded in the room like thunder, making Shen Qingwan's ears buzz.
Shen Qingwan was so frightened by the sudden scolding that her whole body trembled and her face turned pale in an instant.
But she still forced herself to remain calm, quickly stood up from her seat, walked to the prince, knelt down with a plop, her eyes full of panic.
"Your Highness, this is all someone deliberately framing me. I have never done any of these things."
Shen Qingwan's voice trembled a little. She raised her head and looked at the prince with tearful eyes, trying to find a trace of trust on his face.
The prince snorted coldly, his eyes full of disgust and impatience.
He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, each step carrying suppressed anger.
"Hmph! Don't try to quibble. There has been no peace since you came into the mansion. First the child was gone, and now these things are spreading."
The prince spoke as he paced, his eyes sweeping over Shen Qingwan as if he was looking at an object that annoyed him immensely.
Shen Qingwan's lips trembled slightly. She wanted to defend herself, but for a moment she didn't know where to start.
Various thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, trying to find a reason that would make the prince believe her.
"Your Highness, ever since I came into the mansion, I have been serving Your Highness wholeheartedly, and I have treated the Crown Princess with utmost respect. How could I be jealous of her? As for mistreating servants, I have never done that before. Someone in the mansion must not like me, so they made up these lies to frame me." Shen Qingwan's voice was tinged with tears, and her hands tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, her fingers turning white from the force.
The prince stopped and turned to look at Shen Qingwan.
His eyes were so cold that they seemed to be able to penetrate Shen Qingwan's body.
"You said you didn't? Then why did these rumors spread so quickly and so widely? The whole capital is talking about it. How can I put my face aside?"
The prince's voice rose a few notches, his anger almost uncontrollable.
Shen Qingwan was shocked. She knew that this matter was more serious than she had imagined.
She bit her lip and defended herself again, "Your Highness, this must have been done intentionally by someone with ulterior motives. They just want to destroy the relationship between me and Your Highness. Please understand clearly, Your Highness."
The prince didn't listen to her explanation at all. He waved his hand impatiently and interrupted Shen Qingwan.
"That's enough! Stop talking. I had high hopes for you, but you disappoint me time and time again. You should reflect on yourself now that your child is gone, but you're still stirring up trouble in the mansion."
The prince's tone was full of disappointment and annoyance.
Shen Qingwan's tears burst out and she fell to the ground, sobbing.
"Your Highness, I am truly wronged. I beg Your Highness to believe me this time."
The prince looked at Shen Qingwan crying on the ground without a trace of pity in his heart.
He said coldly: "This prince does not want to hear your excuses anymore. Just reflect on your behavior here. Without this prince's order, you are not allowed to step out of the door."
After saying that, the prince left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving Shen Qingwan alone, collapsed on the ground, her eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
She knew that her position in the prince's heart had completely collapsed because of these things, and it was almost impossible to recover it.
