Chapter 220 It’s all my fault…
Shang Xi finally personally weaved a sword tassel as a return gift.
He has always been smart and can learn anything he wants to learn quickly.
It took less than two days to weave a beautiful sword tassel.
A small oval piece of gold was woven into the middle of the sword tassel, on which was the word "Ning" carved by him personally.
In his reply, he described in detail what had happened in the court.
After all, the current situation... is a little closer to their dreams.
He also told Xiao Ning to be wary of Shen Zhiyi.
After all, at such a point, Shen Shulan should take some action.
Having written this, Shang Xi stopped writing, his fingers gripping the pen, his knuckles turning white bit by bit.
If Shen Zhiyi told Xiao Ning that he was the son of the late emperor, would Xiao Ning abandon him as a fake?
He knew that Xiao Ning would treat him well in the future, but...
He didn’t want Shen Zhiyi to reach that position.
Shen Zhiyi's ladder to safety and road to heaven were built with the lives of his mother and sister.
Although Shen Zhiyi was just a baby at that time and had no choice, everything was the plan of Prime Minister Shen and Concubine Rong.
But he enjoyed it all...
Enjoyed everything that belonged to him.
Otherwise, he would be the number one young master in Shengjing City, famous throughout the world.
He should be the first person Xiao Ning liked.
Even if we were to send troops to quell the rebellion now, he would still be able to follow us...
Watch her so heroic and vigorous, fight alongside her...
Instead of being trapped in this small princess mansion, I can only rely on the letters she wrote to imagine what she saw and heard along the way, and how heroic she was.
He put down his pen, picked up the wooden figurine on the table, and kissed it on the lips.
He murmured, "Aning, please don't abandon me even if you know the truth, okay..."
Shen Zhiyi is in the army now, so even if he wants to hire someone to kill someone, he can't do it.
On Shen Shulan's side, things were not going well either.
He hardly touched the meals in question.
Shang Xi didn't know if he had noticed something, or if he was just used to hiding his preferences...
Damn old fox!
Shang Xi finished writing a letter home in bits and pieces, put the letter paper into an envelope, picked up the sword tassel he had woven, looked at it carefully, made sure there was nothing wrong with it, and wrapped it in a clean handkerchief.
After thinking for a while, he wrote another note, stuffed it into the handkerchief, and put it into the envelope.
As for Furong's suggestion that he draw a small portrait and send it along...
He doesn't dare.
He was afraid that he was being too sentimental and would make Xiao Ning feel uncomfortable.
He handed the envelope to the messenger before he returned.
Then he asked casually, "Did Prime Minister Shen write a letter to Supervisor General Shen?"
The messenger nodded and said, "Of course I have written it."
Shang Xi said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.
The messenger rode away and Shang Xi turned back and went into the mansion.
Just at this time, a letter came from the palace saying that the emperor had woken up.
Hearing this, Shang Xi wanted to go into the palace to see the emperor's expression at the moment.
But if he went there now, wouldn't it be a clear sign to the emperor that he had spies in the palace?
I can only bear it.
He instructed the person who came: "Pay close attention to every move over there and report any disturbances in a timely manner."
"yes."
…
When the emperor woke up, only the second prince was serving him.
This is the useless son he usually looks down upon the most.
I didn't expect such filial piety.
Never fight for power...
He was not like those bastards who fought to the death for the position of crown prince.
Even the fourth brother...
He actually wanted to force the emperor to abdicate and kill his father...
Thinking of the Fourth Prince, the Emperor choked up sadly.
Then he thought about how he had been injured for so long, and he hadn't seen any of his other sons come to see him, only the second son was around...
The emperor was even more sad.
Is it because he is a failure as a father?
The sons are unfilial and unbrotherly, only the second one behaves somewhat like a human being.
The emperor looked at the second prince who was sleeping on the side of the bed.
There was a slight dark tint under his eyes, and he seemed extremely tired. He slept very soundly, even snoring slightly.
The emperor raised his hand and touched the second prince's head lovingly.
The second prince was instantly awakened by this touch and jumped up.
Seeing that it was the emperor, his eyes suddenly turned red. He knelt beside his bed and choked with sobs, "Father, you are finally awake..."
"Good boy..."
The emperor touched the second prince's head.
The second prince lay on the bed and cried for a while, then seemed to remember something and hurriedly took the bowl of medicine from the table.
He checked the temperature and found it was completely cold, so he knelt down and apologized, "I'm sorry, Father. I was careless just now and fell asleep, delaying your medicine..."
"I'll have someone boil the medicine again and bring it over."
After saying that, he took the medicine bowl and went outside to give instructions.
When he came in again, the emperor had already sat up, rubbing his forehead.
Following him in were his personal eunuch Li Dezhong, Shen Shulan and several important ministers.
As soon as everyone came in, they kowtowed to the emperor and paid their respects.
The emperor said in a hoarse voice, "No need to be polite."
Everyone stood up.
The emperor asked someone to give him a seat.
Several important officials took turns talking about recent major events that needed to be dealt with promptly.
After listening to this, the emperor glanced at the second prince who was serving obediently at the side. Thinking that the second prince had never been involved in government affairs before, he assigned the easiest task to him.
"Second brother, stop being idle and help father share the burden."
The Second Prince did not refuse this time. He knelt down and accepted the order, saying, "I will live up to your father's kindness!"
When he kowtowed, he thought that the emperor was partial.
He served for so many days, and finally the emperor gave him this job.
Should the remaining important matters be assigned to the eldest, the third, or even the sixth?
Haha, it’s a pity that they are all dead.
Thinking of this, the second prince felt really happy.
When I looked up, I almost couldn't suppress the corners of my mouth that wanted to turn up.
In order to live up to the second prince's expectations, the emperor assigned some of the remaining matters to his ministers and some to the eldest prince and the third prince.
When the ministers heard the emperor's arrangements, their faces turned strange.
Everyone looked at the second prince at the same time.
The Second Prince's eyes suddenly reddened, and he looked at a loss and pitiful as he said, "I, I haven't had time to tell my father about this yet..."
The emperor keenly sensed something and frowned, "What didn't you tell me?"
The second prince glanced at several ministers, knelt down helplessly, and said through gritted teeth: "Big brother, he, he killed the third and sixth brothers!"
"He even wanted to kill me. Fortunately, I was in the palace tending to my sick brother, and the Imperial Guards stopped him. Otherwise, I would never see you again, Father..."
The second prince was crying so hard that it was really touching.
When the emperor heard this, he felt dizzy and almost fainted.
He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Where's that beast, the boss?"
The second prince cried and replied, "It's all my fault..."
"It was I who said that when the Emperor wakes up, he will severely punish my elder brother, and he even ordered the Imperial Guards to imprison him in the Ye Ting Palace first..."
"But within two days, my eldest brother, he, he committed suicide..."
Having said this, the second prince closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks and fell to the ground.
