Fang Shan felt aggrieved and whispered to Wei Sushen, "I didn't want to."

Wei Sushen remained calm and elegant, which made him seem like he was making a fuss out of nothing.

With the appearance of an assassin, it was naturally impossible to continue. The bonfire banquet ended early, and the ministers and nobles returned to their respective tents under the protection of guards.

Emperor Chengyuan glanced at Wei Sushen, who stood up and extended his hand towards Fang Shan.

In such a public place, Fang Shan couldn't possibly refuse him face. Holding hands, they walked forward, turning back to glance at the beauties behind them. Noticing his movements, Wei Sushen asked, "Are you leaving unwillingly?"

Fang Shan shook his head: "I just feel that the host's main wife's aura has suddenly become very powerful."

“…”

On a night like this, a thin layer of cloth seemed to block out the dangers outside. After entering the tent, many people felt much more at ease.

Fang Shan took out a handful of dried fruits he had grabbed before leaving from his arms and ate them like a squirrel.

Wei Sushen sat opposite him and ate with him calmly.

Seeing his reaction, Fang Shan said regretfully, "The host has become far less lovable than before."

Before, you might even see an awkward look on the other person's face.

Wei Sushen wiped his hands: "Are you full?"

Fang Shan knew they were going to discuss serious matters and nodded. "Xiaoyi's intention isn't to get you to shield me from the arrows, but simply to take your life."

"I know." Wei Sushen said lightly.

The woman had a needle hidden in her hand when she pulled him, but he just dodged it.

"The reason Li Li is worried about me is that she didn't follow Concubine Li's instructions. They've fallen out, so she has no choice but to come to me for help."

Wei Sushen's tone was still calm: "The analysis is correct."

Fang Shan: "As for the waiter, I really can't tell at the moment whether she belongs to Prince An or Concubine Li."

Wei Sushen continued to nod: "That's right."

Fang Shan stared at his expressionless face, and missed the "innocent" host when they first started working together.

Wei Sushen said slowly: "The crown prince can be re-established after his death. The real key lies in Emperor Chengyuan. However, this assassination is entirely aimed at me."

Fang Shan interrupted him: "Because those people have no respect for you."

The former prince did not leave a deep impression on others except for his chatterbox, so much so that even a little concubine dared to plot to drown him.

Wei Sushen: "They will be there soon."

Fang Shan stared at him carefully. The host was very attractive in a cold state. The curve of his profile was cold and hard, and that determined look had a fatal attraction.

Without thinking too much, he wiped his neck and said, "Kill one to warn the rest."

Wei Sushen shook his head: "Too rude."

He slowly walked over to Fang Shan, their breaths touching. "Haven't you always wanted to change the script?"

Fang Shan nodded.

Wei Sushen suddenly laughed, a smile that showed he had turned 50% evil. Fang Shan's shoulders trembled, and he quickly stretched out his arm to stop him: "Don't laugh like that, it makes my bones weak."

“…”

Reality reminded him that even if he evolved a hundred times, Fang Shan would always be at the top of the pyramid that he could never reach when it came to flirting.

Wei Sushen completely discarded his messy thoughts and said, "'Everyone Loves the Crown Princess', what do you think of this?"

Fang Shan fell into deep thought.

Wei Sushen: "No matter what the truth is, people will only believe what they see with their own eyes."

And at this dinner party, what everyone saw was the Crown Princess being rescued by these beauties at the cost of their own lives, with a look of deep affection on her face.

Fang Shan picked out the dramatic part: "Some of these people were sent by the Queen Mother, and some were sent by Concubine Li to seduce you. Now they are all related to me." At this point, he smiled maliciously: "It's a bit like other people rushing to cuckold the prince."

Wei Sushen: "It's not difficult for you to create the image of a heartthrob."

Fang Shan shrugged nonchalantly: "If the host thinks it's okay, then it's okay with me."

Wei Sushen added, "Yingyu appears to be Concubine Li's subordinate, but in reality, she is a hidden pawn planted by the Yuexiu Kingdom."

Fang Shan paused for a moment. "You actually remember her name. Even I use the terms 'Little One' and 'Little Two' to distinguish them."

Before Wei Sushen could say anything, Fang Shan sneered, "Then what am I, a mistress?"

As he spoke, he was about to cry. It was a pity that there was no window, otherwise he would have leaned on the window to complain about his heartlessness.

Wei Sushen: "...Don't add drama to yourself."

Fang Shan returned to normal in a second and straightened his clothes: "Host, what are you going to do next?"

"Establish authority, but most of the entry points are on you."

Fang Shan raised his eyebrows.

Wei Sushen: "Find a way to let Prince An know Yingyu's identity as a double agent."

Fang Shan: "Please call her Xiaoyi."

Wei Sushen glanced at him and said, "Make sure Prince An and Yuexiu Kingdom are connected."

Fang Shan yawned. "Aren't they already in cahoots with each other?"

"Not enough." Wei Sushen said, "People who can be double agents are very smart. They often know how to leave a way out for themselves. She has enough ability to stir up trouble. If she doesn't take advantage of the chaos and do something, she wouldn't be the Prince of An."

Fang Shan nodded disinterestedly.

Wei Sushen: "The more noise he makes, the more likely I am to convince Emperor Chengyuan to take advantage of his trick."

Fang Shan high-fived and praised: "You are awesome."

“…”

The system is particularly obedient in some aspects. This is mainly reflected in the fact that once Wei Sushen has his own plan, he will not easily join the route he wants to take and fully cooperate with the other party.

Fang Shan had a very good grasp of the situation, constantly testing the edge of death, but he just couldn't step on Wei Sushen's bottom line.

Over time, Wei Sushen...got used to it.

That's right, he was used to it. Even Fang Shan's occasional step back made him feel warm.

His profound knowledge told him...

It's the Stockholm plot for sure.

Fang Shan nudged him gently, curious about why he suddenly went into a trance for no apparent reason, and tried to reason, "Is this a sign of Alzheimer's?"

Wei Sushen shook his head: "I just think I still need a psychological counseling qualification certificate."

Fang Shan frowned: "What do you need this kind of thing for?"

Wei Sushen lowered his voice, more like a soliloquy: "I can't give up treatment."

Fang Shan couldn't understand his strange behavior for a moment. He put his ear to the tent and vaguely heard some faint screams.

In the deep mountains, any sound could be amplified several times. One could probably imagine the cruel torture the assassin who was just captured was going through.

"Anyone who dares to assassinate someone in this situation is a deadly warrior," Fang Shan stood up and glanced at Wei Sushen. "I wonder if Chen Yan can get anything useful out of him."

Wei Sushen didn't have many hidden worries: "Chen Yan was able to reach the position of general, so he does have this ability."

Not long after he finished speaking, someone whispered outside the tent, "Your Highness, His Majesty is calling you over."

When Wei Sushen walked out of the tent, he said, "The Crown Princess was frightened just now. Send someone to bring some calming tea."

The old eunuch in charge of communicating felt a pang in his heart. How could the prince, at such a young age, have learned to lie with his eyes open?

Although he thought about it, he said with a look of trepidation, "Yes."

In the largest tent, besides Emperor Chengyuan, Chen Yan was also there.

When Wei Sushen stood beside him, he smelled the blood on the other person. Emperor Chengyuan glanced at Wei Sushen and signaled him not to speak first, letting Chen Yan continue.

"The assassins had poison hidden between their teeth. Even though their jaws were removed, it was still too late. Half of their tongues had already corroded."

Emperor Chengyuan didn't care about these details: "What did you find out?"

Chen Yan took out a piece of blood letter. Emperor Chengyuan didn't even take it. He glanced at it and saw the two eye-catching words on it: Prince An.

Emperor Chengyuan turned to Wei Sushen and asked, "What do you think?"

Wei Sushen: "Origin."

Chen Liuliu is Chen Yan's sister, and this alone is enough to make her a thorn in the eyes of many people.

Anyone who has ambitions towards the crown prince or the throne would not tolerate the prince becoming related to a general who commands a large army.

Emperor Chengyuan: "If we want to bring down Prince An, the testimony of the dead soldiers alone is far from enough."

A letter written in blood, from any angle, is a confession obtained under torture.

Emperor Chengyuan laughed as he spoke, and the topic suddenly changed: "What is the relationship between the ministers and the emperor?"

This question was naturally directed at Chen Yan, who responded fluently: "If the ruler wishes for his subject to die, then the subject must die."

“…”

Emperor Chengyuan once had a big dilemma in his life: which one is more annoying, Chen Yan, who can choke people to death when he opens his mouth, or the prince who can't stop talking once he starts talking?

Now it seems that it is obviously Chen Yan.

Emperor Chengyuan lost the desire to speak for a moment. "I have my own arrangements. We will deal with the assassins, but we must create the illusion that these people are still alive."

Chen Yan and Wei Sushen were driven out at the same time, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty has become increasingly moody recently."

Wei Sushen: "General, who do you think is responsible?"

Chen Yan looked at him without hesitation: "Your Highness and Your Majesty are not only monarch and subject, but also father and son. You should be more considerate of Your Majesty in your daily life."

Wei Sushen snorted, turned around and left without saying anything.

·

Due to unexpected circumstances, this year's hunting ended early.

At Wei Sushen's explicit suggestion, Fang Shan played up his charming persona.

Wei Sushen had made sufficient preparations in advance. When the assassination occurred, the news that the Crown Princess was rescued by a beautiful woman quickly spread.

Before and after returning to the palace, Fang Shan had heard no less than three versions of the story. The most widely circulated one was that the Crown Princess had an amazing charm that attracted both men and women, and even women would fall in love with her if they had too much contact with her.

Compared with small countries like Yuexiu, the customs of the current dynasty were relatively open. There were many nobles who kept male favorites in private, and there was also a precedent of princesses keeping male lovers.

And now the Crown Princess has opened the door to a new world for them.

No one believed this rumor at first, but the overwhelming story spread like wildfire, sweeping across most of the capital, to the point where some people secretly printed small copies and circulated them. Although the characters' identities were redefined, the same old story still made it a huge hit.

Three people make a tiger, and even Emperor Chengyuan in the palace had heard about it.

Soon, a censor submitted a petition requesting that the Crown Princess's behavior be regulated. Emperor Chengyuan perfunctorily told the Crown Prince to handle it. However, this was only the beginning. From the censors to several ministers, everyone began to target the Crown Princess, even hinting that she was unfaithful.

After leaving the court, Wei Sushen explained the situation to Fang Shan. The Crown Princess, who was at the center of the storm, sipped her tea leisurely: "No matter what era or where, there are always many people who take advantage of their age and seniority."

Wei Sushen nodded: "They are all meritorious ministers. As long as they don't make too big a mistake, even the emperor won't punish them lightly."

Fang Shan smiled and said, "Even His Majesty has his concerns, so they will definitely not take you seriously."

Wei Sushen looked at him, and suddenly his expression changed without warning: "Someone bullied me."

Fang Shan immediately immersed herself in the drama: "I will go and invite the wives of these ministers into the palace and poke a hole in their hearts."

The author has something to say: Wei Sushen: We cannot give up treatment.

Fang Shan: I am your medicine.

Wei Sushen: ...
