Chapter 15 You're the Best at Seduction
The Eastern Palace.
"Useless trash! What use are you bunch of useless trash to me? I refuse to believe that such a large institution as the Dali Temple can be so airtight that I can't get any information out of it!" Li Heng roared at his guards.
"Your subordinate is incompetent, but Gu Chang'an is too cautious in his actions, making it extremely difficult to find a loophole with him," the guard said helplessly.
"A whole bunch of people are completely helpless against Gu Chang'an, what a bunch of useless people!" Li Heng said angrily.
Zhou Qianqian came out of the bedroom, waved to the guard, and the guard immediately felt as if he had been granted a pardon, wiped his sweat and quietly left.
"Your Highness, please calm down. I doubt Gu Chang'an would dare to pursue this case to the end. He may not care about you, but he must care about the Shen family." Zhou Qianqian helped Li Heng sit on the couch and stood in front of him, gently massaging his shoulders.
“That’s what I thought too, but if we’re going by our previous assumptions, Shen Li should have already received news or a result. So why hasn’t she made a move yet?”
Li Heng frowned deeply, growing increasingly anxious the more he thought about it: "Could it be that Gu Chang'an is no longer listening to Shen Li?"
"When I returned to the manor this afternoon, I heard that Gu Chang'an personally picked her up from my Zhou family. He seemed to treasure her very much." Zhou Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be news sent over."
"Oh?" Li Heng looked up at her: "Why are you so certain, my beloved consort?"
"It's just a little trick that can't be played in public, so I won't tell you and make Your Highness laugh." Zhou Qianqian kept him in suspense for a moment, then said, "Shen Li is smart, but she's too stubborn. It's not difficult to control her."
"That's true, but she does have unique insights into poetry and literature, and her cultivation is excellent. She truly embodies the principle of being strict with herself and lenient with others, which is rare." Li Heng always praised Shen Li when he mentioned her.
He wouldn't have been willing to marry Shen Li off to someone else if he hadn't been forced by circumstances. He would definitely take her back the day he gained power.
"Your Highness truly has unforgettable feelings for the Shen family's daughter. Even I am envious." Zhou Qianqian sat softly in Li Heng's lap, her words tinged with a hint of jealousy.
"Jealous?" Li Heng asked with a smile, lifting her chin.
"No, I am but a woman in the harem, and I dare not compare myself to a talented woman as famous as Sister Shen."
Zhou Qianqian wrapped her arms around his neck, her watery eyes filled with admiration: "As long as I can make Your Highness feel comfortable, it will be my blessing."
"Little thing, you're the best at seducing people." Li Heng's eyes darkened, and he flipped over and pinned the person down on the bed.
Zhou Qianqian giggled and fell down: "Does Your Highness still miss Sister Shen?"
"She's a blockhead, nowhere near as sensible and understanding as you. If I had to choose again, I'd still choose you." Li Heng couldn't wait any longer.
"Sir, we're talking about serious matters... um..."
"What else is there to say? I doubt she'd dare not disobey me, otherwise I'd be the first to take action against Shen Zizai." Li Heng didn't care about anything else anymore.
"Master...please slow down..." Zhou Qianqian murmured as she indulged in pleasure on the bed, completely forgetting about her younger sister's death.

Gu Family Study.
"This is the confession. Take a look." Gu Chang'an stepped down from the desk and handed her a transcribed copy of the confession.
Shen Li sat at the table, and Gu Chang'an waved for the servants to leave, then personally made tea for her.
The room was instantly filled with the aroma of tea.
Shen Li scanned the names one by one and finally landed on the name of the Crown Prince.
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Chang'an couldn't help but smile. He was quite content with this peaceful way of getting along.
"He's already admitted to working for the Crown Prince after only two days?" Shen Li was somewhat surprised. "If we hand over these lists of accomplices, we'll cripple half of Li Heng's power."
Gu Chang'an lowered his eyes and placed the tea in front of her. The methods used by the Dali Temple were not honorable.
“But I alone am not strong enough to completely bring down Li Heng, so I do not intend to hand over this confession.” He said, “Tomorrow I will report to His Majesty that this case involves the Crown Prince and request a joint trial by the three judicial departments.”
