Chapter 203 The old fox is the old fox
Last night's dream was too beautiful. When Shang Xi woke up, he asked someone to bring in water, washed his body, and changed his clothes.
As for the soiled trousers, he set them on fire.
When he came out again, he still looked cold and aloof.
Furong glanced at him, and Shang Xi turned his face away and explained, "The weather is too hot, and I sweated a lot."
Furong: “…”
She didn't think much about it at first, but after Shang Xi said this, she couldn't help but think about it.
Oh, it turns out that the little prince has grown up.
Actually, it’s nothing, it’s normal for men.
Although she had never seen a man's penis, she had read a lot of miscellaneous books. A few years ago, she even bought a booklet specifically to understand the structure of male and female bodies.
Furong asked someone to help Shang Xi wash and dress.
I stood in the yard and looked towards the west yard.
She had discovered that as long as His Highness lived here, they didn't even dare to go out.
That’s good, so as to avoid making His Highness unhappy.
Shang Xi quickly finished washing up, went to the flower hall to have breakfast, and then returned to his study.
As soon as she entered the study, Furong closed the door and walked forward.
He reported in a low voice, "Your Highness, news has come from the palace that the Fourth Prince's men have been executed, and that he committed suicide at the foot of the palace steps. The Imperial Concubine stabbed Your Majesty with a hairpin, and before she could be punished, she hit her head against the wall and died."
"And His Majesty... is said to have not woken up yet."
Last night, I guessed that the Fourth Prince would be defeated. If the Fourth Prince was defeated, the Imperial Concubine would die, along with the forces behind him...
But I didn't expect that the imperial concubine would actually stab the emperor.
I never expected the emperor to fall into a coma.
Therefore, Shang Xi was a little surprised, "Did the imperial concubine hit his weak spot?"
Furong shook her head. "That's not clear. We need someone to investigate further to find out."
"But if the emperor is seriously ill, I'm afraid he will seal off his bedroom tightly. It would be extremely difficult to get any information."
Shang Xi said: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
It was a pleasant surprise that the emperor was seriously injured and unconscious.
There will inevitably be chaos in the court for a while.
It's just convenient for them.
By the way, add fuel to the fire and make the fight between the remaining princes more intense.
When the emperor woke up, he found that he had no son.
I'm sure you'll be very relieved.
After all, his son inherited his roots and has learned his true skills, and he has mastered the art of turning brothers against each other and killing each other.
"Did the people sent to the Shen Mansion find anything?"
Furong shook her head, "No."
Shang Xi sneered, "An old fox is an old fox."
Furong thought for a moment and said, "But recently, Prime Minister Shen secretly met with several leaders of noble families."
Shang Xi placed his fingers on the table and tapped them unconsciously a few times.
“I think he’s planning for Shen Zhiyi.”
"Then why did he let Shen Zhiyi go to Xiao Ning? If he stayed in Shengjing City, wouldn't there be more opportunities? It would be convenient for him to do whatever he wanted..."
Shang Xi thought about it, suddenly stood up and slapped the table.
Furong, who was originally following Shang Xi's train of thought, was startled by the sudden slap.
When I looked up, I saw his pale face and eyes filled with anger.
"Your Highness?"
Fleur called out.
Shang Xi gritted his teeth and said, "He stole my identity and he wants to take away my An Ning!"
Furong: “…”
Where did this come from?
And I've never heard that Shen Zhiyi is gay...
Ahem, that incident on the palace road doesn't count. She and His Highness were considered to have witnessed the scene. Shen Zhiyi was pressed on the palace road by the prince consort, but the two of them really didn't do anything.
Shang Xi felt that Shen Zhiyi must be waiting for the right time to tell Xiao Ning the truth and let Xiao Ning follow him, just like General Zhenbei and the late emperor.
Thinking of this, Shang Xi subconsciously grasped the hem of his sleeves.
Will Xiao Ning agree...
Although they had shaken hands and sworn an oath to work together to establish a new order.
But he is fake, Shen Zhiyi is the real bloodline of the late emperor.
He was just Shen Zhiyi's scapegoat.
Not to mention that she originally liked Shen Zhiyi so much.
Shang Xi instantly became dejected and slumped into his chair, looking defeated.
Furong figured out the reason slowly. Not only was Shang Xi unsure, but even she was not too sure, after all, Shen Zhiyi was the real prince.
“Furong, arrange for someone to go to the kitchen of the Shen Mansion and poison Shen Shulan!”
As long as Shen Shulan died, how many people would know that Shen Zhiyi was a prince?
Even if he said it himself, not everyone would believe it!
He still has the opportunity to confuse right and wrong.
It’s a pity that Shen Zhiyi is not in Shengjing, otherwise he would kill him first!
Let’s see what Shen Shulan looks like when his plans for many years have come to nothing!
Furong hesitated and said, "But when the rich and powerful eat, they usually test for poison with silver chopsticks first. I'm afraid the chances of success are slim."
Shang Xi said, "Medicines and foods interact with each other. Since we can't kill him immediately, it's okay to take it slowly..."
Furong thought about it after hearing this, then nodded and said, "I will go down and make arrangements right away."
Shang Xi nodded, watched Furong close the door and leave, then he withdrew his gaze and stared at the white rice paper in front of him for a while.
His fingers unconsciously stroked the letter box at hand.
Shang Xi opened the box and read through the letters that he had read hundreds of times.
It seemed like he followed Xiao Ning through the whole process again from beginning to end.
Shang Xi picked up the pen and tried to draw the scene described in her letter. After almost two hours, the scene of the two armies fighting finally appeared on the paper. The man with a clear face in the lead was Xiao Ning.
She reined in her horse with one hand and held a spear with the other. The wind blew her cloak behind her, revealing her youthful spirit.
Just looking at the screen, Shang Xi couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
He tentatively touched the figure in the painting with his fingers, but it caused the ink to spread, blurring the figure's eyebrows and eyes.
Shang Xi frowned and wiped it with his sleeve, but it became dirtier the more he wiped.
Shang Xi was deflated. He pursed his lips and stared at the paper on the table that had become a mess. He was in a bad mood.
He painted for a long time...
Shang Xi angrily hit his right hand with his left hand.
It's all because of his dirty hands. The ink hasn't even dried yet, so he's touching her randomly...
Shang Xi was angry for a while, threw away the dirty painting, spread out paper and ground ink, and painted a new one.
But this time, the messy background was removed and only the heroic General Xiao was drawn.
Looking at the perfect painting, Shang Xi's lips curled up slightly.
"Fleur? Fleur?"
He shouted in a light voice.
When Furong heard this, she came in immediately. She was a little surprised that her master, who had been in a depressed mood, suddenly became happy.
So she looked at Shang Xi's expression.
You can see that he is really happy.
"Frame it and hang it there from now on!"
Shang Xi pointed in a direction, a place he could see as soon as he looked up.
Furong responded, took the painting, and took a look. Sure enough, it was not a painting of the prince consort.
Furong took the painting down to have it framed. As she left the study, she casually instructed the maid, "Prepare warm water for His Highness to wash his hands."
Shang Xi washed his hands and opened the map to look at it.
Now that the summer heat has subsided, I think Xiao Ning has already arrived in Jinzhou...
