Chapter 288 Play

Prince Liang's Mansion.

"I didn't expect Miss Xiaohe..." The Liang Wang follower just started to say something, but then realized that this was disrespectful, so he quickly changed the subject, "I didn't expect the crown prince to conquer the Wenxiang Kingdom so soon."

"How glorious it is that the Crown Prince has returned today! Your Highness should also go, as he is the Crown Prince's father!"

Now when people talk about the fact that Prince Liang did not want to be the emperor and instead pushed his daughter to become the emperor, his subordinates are no longer so resistant.

Whether this person is a dragon or a snake can be clearly seen in one move.

King Liang sighed softly.

Does that mean he doesn't want to go?

He didn't dare to see his daughter right now.

"Where's the coffin?" he asked.

"It's stopped in the hall."

The coffin carried into Prince Liang's mansion was seven feet six in length and two feet two in width, decorated with jade and engraved with a swastika pattern. Although it was not as large as those used for princes, generals, and ministers, it was still considered an exquisite and luxurious coffin.

Jiang Shenyuan limped with drooping eyelids and walked around the coffin again and again with difficulty.

No one was around to help him.

He didn't really care.

When King Liang released him from prison, the first thing he did was not to be excited about seeing the light of day again.

"Is the person inside really the Prince of Danshuo?"

This is what Jiang Shenyuan is most concerned about right now.

The soldier from Prince Liang's mansion had a stern face and only responded coldly with a single word: "Hmm."

Jiang Shenyuan raised his hand and touched the cold iron nails on the coffin. The nails were embedded so tightly that it would take some effort to pry them out.

He couldn't help but curl his lips and sneer, "I haven't even seen his remains, how can King Liang ask me to believe that Fu Yi is dead and here?"

The words fell.

King Liang strode in and waved his hand to dismiss the soldiers in the room.

"You're saying it so loudly, are you afraid that others won't know who killed Fu Yi?"

Jiang Shenyuan's eyelids twitched. "Your Highness acted very convincingly, but without the corpse, I'm sorry for not being able to speak."

King Liang frowned and said nothing.

Jiang Shenyuan was actually half-convinced. If it was fake, King Liang would have just sealed the matter in a thin coffin. Why would he choose such a luxurious coffin?

I'm afraid that King Liang's old habit of being hard on the outside but soft on the inside has come back.

When you see someone die, you feel that the past can be put to rest, so you might as well give them some dignity.

But most of the people who did dirty things under the old emperor had a suspicious problem.

So Jiang Shenyuan held on tight and didn't let go immediately.

He wanted to hear what King Liang would say next.

"It is my wish to nail the coffin shut." King Liang sighed.

Jiang Shenyuan turned around and listened.

"I don't want Xiao He to see this." King Liang paused and said, "After all, they are husband and wife."

"A marriage based on false identities can still be considered a marriage?" Jiang Shenyuan laughed sarcastically.

Prince Liang's brows darkened even more: "Why not? Xiao He is already pregnant with his child."

After hearing this, Jiang Shenyuan was stunned.

King Liang smacked his lips, savoring the bitterness in his mouth.

Telling a half-truth, I didn't expect it to be so easy!

That’s right, the emotions are real now.

I really want to stab Fu Yi twice.

"She, she..." Jiang Shenyuan stuttered, "How could she..."

After saying this, Jiang Shenyuan himself was speechless. How could it be? Why not? Fu Yi was not a fool, so easy to deceive.

When Cheng Nianying replaced him and entered the company, they naturally had a real intimacy.

It wasn't uncommon for low- and middle-ranking assassins in Shaoqu Tower to sell their bodies when they went out on missions. They had long since moved on from their obsession with physical chastity, and only cared about whether they had fought hard enough in the face of life and death.

"Then what should we do with this child?" Jiang Shenyuan pointed at the swastika on the coffin. "It means continuity. Does His Royal Highness Prince Liang really want Fu Yi's bloodline to continue forever? That would be a horror story."

"It does not matter if the son does not know his father."

It's that same King Liang again! He's unwilling to even root out the evil.

Jiang Shenyuan was just about to say a few words to brainwash him.

Prince Liang suddenly spoke in a complicated tone, "Since the palace coup that day, you have been captured by Fu Yi's men and have not seen the outside world for a long time. Naturally, you don't know what is happening outside."

Jiang Shenyuan's mind moved: "Your Highness holds the military power..."

yes.

It's been so long.

Why is he still just King of Liang?

"Your Highness didn't seize power?" Jiang Shenyuan was stunned.

"It was Fu Yi who took the initiative to propose to me that we each make concessions."

"How can we each make concessions?"

"Let Xiaohe be the crown prince."

This was all true. King Liang spoke without even a pause, his words flowing fluently and with genuine emotion.

“…”

Jiang Shenyuan took a long time to digest this new information.

Now he couldn't care less whether Fu Yi was really dead or faking his death. His mind was completely overwhelmed by the fact that Cheng Nianying had become the crown prince.

"Then... then this child cannot be kept. In the future... won't he inherit the throne?" Jiang Shenyuan spoke in a vague manner.

He was rarely so unstable.

His voice had never been so vague when he discovered that Fu Yi's princess was actually a killer from Shaoqu Tower.

"Xiao He will have more than one child in the future."

Jiang Shenyuan suddenly thought of a ridiculous yet fitting example from the past: "So, there's no need for this humble official to mention this. Ever since Cheng Nianying, no, the Crown Prince, became pregnant, King Liang decided to kill Fu Yi? It's just like those historical stories of killing the mother and sparing the son. The mother made a mistake and was executed, but the prince was precious, so he should be spared."

King Liang replied sullenly, "Hmm."

Jiang Shenyuan had already said most of what he wanted to say, so he didn't have to make up stories.

After hearing this, he thought Jiang Shenyuan's idea was good.

Jiang Shenyuan immediately began to pace excitedly: "This humble official has always served Your Majesty. Now that the Crown Prince has ascended the throne, she will be the new Emperor, and this humble official should also serve her."

"I have only one request: I wish to see the Crown Prince. Once I see her, I will share with her the methods to break the effects of the Shaoqu Tower's several herbs."

"Okay! Go ahead."

"Your Highness...will you not go with me?"

"No, I'm afraid I'll let the cat out of the bag in front of her."

"Your Highness, are you not afraid that I might escape along the way?"

"You would run away? Why would you run away? With Xiao He as the emperor and Fu Yi no longer to embarrass you, you could rebuild Shao Qu Tower and return to your former position, or even surpass it. Isn't this what you want?"

Fu Yijiao's words flashed through King Liang's mind.

"Jiang Shenyuan looks like me."

He said this as if Jiang Shenyuan was his son.

King Liang curled his lips at that time.

Fu Yi wrote him a few more words of analysis, and King Liang immediately realized that Jiang Shenyuan was also a power-hungry person!

His process of gaining power was not as smooth as Fu Yi's, so naturally he cherished every opportunity to fight back in desperate situations.

He won't run away.

Fu Yi said this.

At this time, Jiang Shenyuan laughed out loud: "Your Highness knows me, so there is no need to delay. I will go to see the Crown Prince right now. Can you please give me some convenience?"

"Go ahead, she happened to be returning from the border town today."

"border town?"

Prince Liang was holding back, so he immediately told Jiang Shenyuan about Huaiyuan's situation. It didn't matter if he just listened.

Every word he spoke was filled with pride and honor for his daughter.

The overflowing emotions overwhelmed Jiang Shenyuan.

Jiang Shenyuan was shocked and no longer doubted King Liang.

How could he lie?

Such a big thing is naturally known to everyone outside.

Can King Liang still ask Quan Yujing to perform with him?

Jiang Shenyuan couldn't wait to leave the palace, his heart was full of turmoil.

The name her father gave her was actually correct.

Chengying, Chengying, the sword of the emperor.

Jiang Shenyuan took a deep breath and did not oppose the empress in his heart like ordinary officials did, as he thought the empress was absurd.

He thought it was good, very good!

In the past, when a woman became a concubine, her father and brother could only rely on her for help. But now, it is easier for men, they can just please the empress directly.

Jiang Shenyuan would not feel ashamed of such an idea.

Mediocre people don’t know that only power is real!

If they can get power, men will sell themselves to other men. Who would refuse?

Jiang Shenyuan was taken to the palace.

At that time, Prince Kang and his family were also blocking the palace gate, demanding to see Cheng Nianying, and happened to meet Jiang Shenyuan.

*

King Liang was still a little incredulous: "Did he really believe it?"

I have to admit, Fu Yi is really good at manipulating people. Nine lies that are true and one is false are the most deceptive.

King Liang gnashed his teeth. What a sinister old fox. Is it really okay for his daughter to be in love with this fox?
