Chapter 370 The snipe and clam fight, the fisherman wins

"Sounds awesome." Shen Qingqing frowned, "Then do I want to wish Lord Gu that he gets his wish?"

"Thank you, and I hope you get what you want."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the awkwardness and sharpness they felt when they first met dissipated.

In the distance, Zhiyi ran back panting, opened the door and began to complain: "The maid in the palace is really annoying. She has to drag me to tie her shuttlecock, how could I..."

Seeing the leftover food on the table, his voice suddenly stopped and his face fell, "Why don't you wait for me? I'm still hungry!"

Shen Qingqing teased him: "Didn't the maid who asked you to play shuttlecock bring you food?"

"I gave it away, but their food is not as delicious as yours." Zhiyi murmured while searching the room for bowls of rice.

Gu Jiali looked at his useless look and shook his head helplessly. It was not harmful, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Shen Qingqing waved her hands at them, "You should eat and drink. I have to go to the next play."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll go out and buy you some cakes this afternoon." Zhiyi picked up the rice and shook his head at her.

Gu Jiali looked at it for a few times, but still couldn't hold it back and gave him a sideways look, "You can't talk when you eat or sleep, how many times have I taught you this?"

Zhiyi pouted and immediately stopped talking, looking like a bullied little daughter-in-law.

Shen Qingqing shook her head happily, this pair of master and servant was really interesting.

When she arrived at the main hall of the palace, the guard guarding the door did not let her in directly. "The prince is discussing matters with others in the room. Please wait for a while."

Shen Qingqing replied "Yes" and followed the guard obediently to stand by the door.

There was a faint sound of fierce quarrels in the room, accompanied by the sound of cups falling.

Shen Qingqing guessed the reason, and the corners of her mouth curled up again and again.

Not long after, the closed door opened, and a middle-aged man in black robe walked out angrily.

Shen Qingqing glanced at him from a distance. The man's face was so full of evil that the evil spirits would give him three points when he saw it.

Just as the guard was about to lead her in, Chen Bitian, who had already walked down the steps, suddenly turned back.

"Stop." These two simple words carry a lot of pressure.

Shen Qingqing paused and looked back at him.

What caught his eye was a pair of sinister eyes, as cold as sword rays, which made people break into cold sweat on their backs.

"Are you talking nonsense in front of the prince to sow discord between us?"

Shen Qingqing lowered her eyes with a timid expression, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"I don't know? Do you really think that Ben is a coward who can be bullied by others?" Chen Bitian strode forward and stretched out his hand to strangle her neck.

At this moment, Qi Shengyin's angry voice suddenly sounded from inside the door: "Chen Bitian, do you really think that this king is dead?"

Chen Bitian suddenly lowered his arms and glared at Shen Qingqing angrily, "Little thing, just wait, I will make you pay the price sooner or later!"

After that, he tossed his sleeves and left angrily.

Qi Sheng's voice sounded inside the door again: "Come in."

Shen Qingqing looked away, shrunk her neck, and walked into the room with a frightened and cowardly look.

The room was in a mess, and several maids were squatting on the floor collecting broken porcelain pieces, their faces getting paler.

Shen Qingqing looked at them sympathetically and said in a deep voice: "The matter that the prince entrusted to the slaves has been settled."

"Really? I thought you would be moved by Gu Jiali's warmth and not want to come back." Qi Sheng played with the string of jade beads, half-smiling.

Shen Qingqing pretended to be frightened and said in a sincere voice: "I just want to avenge my parents now and don't think about anything else. Please give me a clear warning!"

"Look, I scared you. I was just joking." Qi Sheng laughed, raised his hand to screen everyone away, and pointed to the stool next to him, "Tell me what you found out."

"The man who met Mr. Gu a few days ago is from Zhaixing Pavilion. He didn't say his specific name. The person they were discussing was a particularly famous general in the Yin Dynasty. His surname seems to be Chen."

Even though he had expected it, Qi Sheng couldn't help but sigh, "Chen Bitian?"

Shen Qingqing nodded hurriedly, "That's the name. It sounds very... cool. Master Gu said that a month ago, all the warlocks from Zhaixing Pavilion worked together to calculate the fate of the country. The fortune board showed that a group of forces that should not be underestimated appeared in Xiangcheng.

, may threaten the destiny of the country.”

Qi Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he almost broke the string of beads in his hand.

Shen Qingqing secretly raised her lower lip, pretending not to notice his livid expression, and continued: "The master of the power is Chen Bitian, whom the prince mentioned just now."

"Is it him?" After hearing this, Qi Sheng not only could not relax, but his heart tightened even more.

The purpose of Star Picking Pavilion is to conduct sacrifices, observe celestial phenomena, and measure national fortunes. With the gathering of capable people and strangers in it, it is impossible to cause an error by looking for the wrong target.

The only explanation is that Chen Bitian will replace him and become the final winner.

Two dogs fight, play off.

Isn’t this how Daqi’s empire was obtained in the first place?

Judging from Chen Bitian's various performances, he is indeed someone who would do that kind of thing!

Qi Sheng couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and walked to the table to drink a cup of tea to calm down his shock. However, he had already dropped the teacup and a new one hadn't been brought out yet. How could there be tea?

"asshole!"

Qi Sheng roared angrily and dropped the string of beads in his hand.

Shen Qingqing's body trembled suddenly and she knelt down.

"My lord, are you okay?" the guard outside the door asked loudly.

"I'm fine, go and call Chen Bitian!"

Qi Sheng gasped several times and looked down at Shen Qingqing, "What else have you found? Continue talking."

"Master Gu said that he has just woken up from a hundred-year slumber and has not yet recovered his abilities. It is the best time to deal with him. If he waits until the tiger has raised its minions, it will be too late to take action."

The more Qi Sheng listened, the more his heart sank. Except for the person involved, no one else knew about Chen Bitian's need for human life to improve his cultivation. However, Gu Jiali actually knew...

So everything shown in the fortune chart is true?

This Chen Bitian actually regarded him as his ladder to ascend to the top!

hateful!

The oil was almost poured, and Shen Qingqing was ready to put it away when it was ready, "Master Gu is sending people around to search for Chen Bitian's location, but they haven't found it yet... That's all this slave knows. Does the prince have any other instructions?"

Qi Sheng was so confused that he couldn't calm down and think at all. He waved his hand to her perfunctorily and said, "You go back first. I will send someone to inform you if something happens."

Not long after Shen Qingqing left, Chen Bitian returned.

When Qi Sheng saw him, he couldn't control his anger and punched him.

Chen Bitian blocked his fist easily and said coldly: "Has the prince listened to the witch's slander again?"

Qi Sheng glared angrily and remained silent.

"A woman of unknown origin can scare you like this. If a war breaks out in the future, what will you do to support the overall situation?"

"They can't be trusted, so can you? Chen Bitian, do you really think that I don't know who you are?"

Chen Bitian pushed back his fist with a heavy gaze, "It doesn't matter what kind of person I am, what matters is whether the prince will fall into the trap of someone with ulterior motives."

"How about we make a bet on whether the witch is really as innocent as the prince thinks."
