After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 167 Confrontation
While speaking, the carriage had already stopped outside Shou Wang's mansion.

After King Shou returned to the capital, the ministers in the court naturally turned their attention and turned their attention to King Shou who had military merits.

The usually calm Shouwang Mansion is crowded with people now, and there are a few more guards at the gate, either refusing gifts or invitations.

Seeing Shen Qingling and Xue Yu getting out of the car, the butler hurriedly came over to greet them.

After entering Shouwang's mansion, all the familiar things suddenly broke into Shen Qingling's field of vision, causing her to pause, but her expression did not change in any way.

After a dream last night, Shen Qingling knew that she had let go of even the last bit of concern.

Li Yu is in the study right now.

When he was writing, he looked up and saw Shen Qingling and Xue Yu coming in with the housekeeper. He quickly put down his pen and got up, and said with a smile: "You two had a good rest yesterday? Later, when you got drunk, it made Mrs. Shen troublesome. A table, so I can thank Mrs. Shen."

When he said this, Li Yu's eyes seemed to be fixed on Shen Qingling.

Shen Qingling held hands and saluted without a smile on her face, and said: "It's not a waste of time, but in the end it was your lord's guards who sent you back, if you want to thank them, you can thank them."

"I also have to thank Mrs. Shen." Xue Yu pursed her lips and interrupted with a smile.

"That's natural. Ayu's complexion is much better today, and he can't mess around anymore in the future." Li Yu didn't feel that Shen Qingling was cold at all, he still answered the words with a smile, and invited the two to the main hall.

The servants of Prince Shou's Mansion have given the banquet to Zhang Luo at this moment.

The three sat down and ate their meal in silence.

When the servants came to present the fruits, Li Yu said: "It's all tribute fruits, Ayu and Mrs. Shen are welcome."

Shen Qingling didn't move, and said indifferently: "It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality, I don't want to eat rare things like tribute fruit, so as not to worry about it in the future."

None of the people here are fools, so they can naturally hear that there is something in Shen Qingling's words.

"If Mrs. Shen likes it, just let me know when you want to eat it in the future." Li Yu's answer is also quite intriguing.

Xue Yu cleared his throat, put one in his mouth, and said, "It's better to live in the prince's mansion. Usually I want to find these in Beijing, but I have to go to the official's house to ask for it."

After a long interruption, Xue Yu finally interrupted the weird conversation.

After eating the fruit, the three of them should go to sit in the garden in the backyard. It is the cool time after autumn, and a lot of flowers are sparsely blooming in the yard. Once the cool breeze passes, the garden is full of fragrance, which is very pleasant.

Shen Qingling didn't have the time to appreciate these things, she just leaned on the chair and dozed off.

At first Li Yu still wanted to talk to Shen Qingling, but after a few words, seeing that Shen Qingling was listless, he turned his head and started chatting with Xue Yu who hadn't seen him for a long time.

The two of them chatted nothing more than the war in the northern border and the situation in the DPRK and China.

Despite Shen Qingling's interference, Xue Yu did not directly become Li Yu's confidant in this life, but his previous contacts with Li Yu, the intimacy between the two was beyond comparison to ordinary people.

So the conversation gradually deepened.

"The health of His Royal Highness is not as good as what we saw." Xue Yu pressed his fist to his mouth, coughed twice, and said, "Last month, the royal doctor in the palace visited the East Palace many times, and King Zhan knew about it. , and even entered and exited the East Palace under the pretext of visiting a sick person."

Li Yu snorted coldly and said, "They came here yesterday, but they actually wanted to test the prince. Fortunately, the prince didn't really drink, otherwise he would be in trouble if he missed his health."

With Li Yu's deliberate cover, the prince's pouring of wine was not noticed by King Zhan and King Xiang.

"It's normal for King Zhan and King Xiang to be active." Xue Yu picked up the teacup and flicked the tea powder. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Shen Qingling who was sleeping soundly, and his eyes suddenly softened. Now, even if the two of them want to make trouble, they can't make any waves."

Sensing Xue Yu's gentle voice, Li Yu turned his head to look at him, then looked at Shen Qingling, and asked, "Ah Yu likes her?"

Xue Yu nodded, and said firmly, "Qingling is my life."

It's not that Li Yu didn't hear about Shen Qingling and Xue Yu leaving Yongguan after he came back, but he didn't want to let his dream be ruined like this.

Or in other words, Li Yu repeatedly dreamed about those things day in and day out, and many times he couldn't tell which was a dream and which was real.

The feeling in his heart towards Shen Qingling was complicated and vague.

"Ah Yu, do you still remember that before I left Beijing, I said that I had a dream that I was bound to triumph?" Li Yu asked suddenly.

Xue Yu made a sound, recalled it for a while, and said: "I remember, the prince also said at that time that there was a little lady in the dream who treated you very well. You don't want to marry someone else, you just want to wait for her."

Hearing this, Li Yu lowered his eyes and smiled, then raised his head to the sky, and said slowly: "Yes, I don't want to marry someone else, because I will never forget that dream."

"You have returned triumphantly, so what about that little lady? Did your lord meet her?" Xue Yu asked.

There was a sudden silence in the yard.

After a long time, Li Yu sighed and replied: "I haven't waited for her yet... I kept repeating that dream day after day. I failed her in the dream. I doubted her purpose of approaching me and questioned her purpose of assisting me." The original intention, and deeply hurt her love for me, so that in the end she was determined to leave, leaving no room for it.”

Shen Qingling, who was pretending to be asleep, heard everything.

But also just heard.

Li Yu sat up straight, took the tea next to him, drank it all, and said, "It's my fault that I've betrayed her for the rest of my life, and that's why I'm a stranger this time. But I can't give up, Ayu, do you understand me? That kind of heart is completely occupied, the pain that can't be let go..."

"I understand." Xue Yu looked at Li Yu pityingly, "Love is not meant to be let go just by saying let it go. It's not too late for you to wake up, my lord. After all, it's just a dream, and there is still room for change. room."

Is it a dream?
Li Yu who was enlightened was a little at a loss.

Maybe it was just a dream, but now he is indeed far away from Shen Qingling, not to mention that Xue Yu and Shen Qingling, who he regards as brothers, still have a life and death experience together.

Could Xue Yu be the different person in Shen Qingling's eyes?

Li Yu didn't dare to gamble.

"By the way." He changed the subject and asked, "Did Mrs. Shen want to leave Bianjing yesterday? But she wanted to go back to Yangzhou? I heard that she has a lot of property in Yangzhou, which is quite impressive."

Shen Qing who was sitting on the chair moved smartly, opened her eyes slightly, and looked like she was slightly less sleepy.

"Yes." Xue Yu got up and handed a cup of tea to Shen Qingling, still answering Li Yu, "Qingling also has several restaurants in Bianjing, between Bianjing and Yangzhou, Qingling also paid for the establishment of a restaurant between Bianjing and Yangzhou." Six or seven private inns were set up for messengers and receptions."

In words, very proud.

Shen Qingling took a sip of the tea, and said lazily: "It's just a small fight, it's not worth mentioning in front of the prince."
