Shangguan Shu chased Shangguan Zhu and Zhou Changsheng away, then looked at Zhao Ying with a resolute gaze. "I don't care what you heard, it's not true."
Zhao Ying was already numb. She looked at Shangguan Shu coldly and shook her head.
"I don't believe it!"
Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes, a storm brewing in them, giving the impression of a completely desperate madness. He opened his lips slightly, "How can you believe it?"
It seemed like as long as Zhao Ying said so, he would do it!
Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"
She stood up and walked over to Shangguan Shu, looking up at him with a playful smile on her lips. She raised her hand and lightly brushed her fingertips across his cheek, provoking him. "Now that I know your entire plan, I'll go to the Crown Prince's Mansion and tell you, brother... Since you're so smart, you'll definitely be able to handle this and clear yourself from it before I tell you the Crown Prince, right?"
"Otherwise, even if you stop halfway, you will probably expose yourself completely, right?"
Shangguan Shu certainly understood the implication of Zhao Ying's words.
Now it is no longer possible for him to stop halfway and everything will be fine. Zhao Ying will tell everything, and all his disguises will be exposed.
He and Zhao Cong would become complete enemies, and he would be convicted of treason.
The only solution now is... to kill Zhou Changsheng!
Kill him for the prince!
This is what Zhao Ying meant!
Zhao Ying was forcing him to be a loyal minister... It wasn't her forcing him, it was probably God's will... that a little thing like Yue'er appeared!
If it had happened before, not only would the plan fail, but he would also have to clean up Zhao Cong's mess. He would have been so angry.
But now... forget it.
He hadn't seen Zhao Ying's lively appearance for a long time. Although she wanted to kill him, he liked her current appearance. He didn't like to see her frowning. His princess should always be arrogant and radiant.
Shangguan Shu lowered his eyes to look at Zhao Ying, curled his lips into a smile, and suddenly grabbed Zhao Ying's wrist. He leaned over to her ear and said, "As you wish!"
Zhao Ying frowned and pushed Shangguan Shu away fiercely.
Shangguan Shu didn't force her, letting her shake him off. He just kept staring at her intently, his deep gaze making people tremble with fear.
Zhao Ying looked away, and then his mind exploded.
Shangguan Qingyue, who was standing nearby, immediately exploded when he saw Shangguan Shu approaching Zhao Ying, screaming frantically, "What are you doing? What are you doing?! Stay away from my mother! That's my mother! You stinky bitch!"
Shangguan Shu pursed his lips, his handsome face darkening.
Shangguan Qingyue couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to rush over to separate the two, but the chair was too high. She stretched her legs towards the ground, but just couldn't reach it.
【Wuwu...Mother, save me! 】
【Yue'er is about to fall down! 】
Zhao Ying heard the sound and went over, holding Shangguan Qingyue in her arms, comforting her for a moment, then deliberately said, "Can Yue'er go with mother to find Uncle Crown Prince?"
Shangguan Qingyue didn't hear what Shangguan Shu and Zhao Ying were saying just now, but she also wanted to go to the Prince's Mansion. Although she couldn't tell her uncle the Prince the truth, she still wanted to go, just in case there was a chance!
For example, the prince's uncle asked her, "Yue'er, do you know who is the real murderer behind this?"
If Zhou Changsheng was there too, she could point him out! !
Although the hope is slim, what if it comes true?
Shangguan Qingyue nodded excitedly, "Go! I must go!"
She grabbed Zhao Ying's clothes and impatiently leaned half of her body out, "Let's go now!"
Zhao Ying rubbed Shangguan Qingyue's little head lovingly, obviously understanding what she meant.
Her Yueer wants to help her!
Shangguan Shu also understood. Thinking that his little daughter was trying to trip him up and overthrow him to take over the position of the gardener, Shangguan Shu felt helpless and sad.
Is he really so unforgivable?
He is her biological father!
It’s really a waste of love for her!
Zhao Ying couldn't wait, so she took Shangguan Qingyue to the Prince's Mansion. As it turned out, the Prince came to the house and Zhao Ying just missed him.
The prince hurried into Shangguan Shu's study, dismissed everyone, and said, "Runzhi, you seem to be enjoying your leisure time, but do you know that I am in trouble?"
According to the original storyline, although Shangguan Shu did not resign, once the imperial examination questions were leaked, the prince panicked and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Shangguan Shu, but in a different place.
Although the prince is not outstanding, he is not completely stupid. When the new and hot topic came out, there were two people involved, one was Prime Minister Liu and the other was Zhou Changsheng. If Zhou Changsheng knew that he was his man, could he get away with it?
The prince also suspected Zhou Changsheng at this time.
The prince said this to Shangguan Shu. According to the plot, Shangguan Shu should have hinted to the prince to investigate Prime Minister Liu, clear Zhou Changsheng a little, and then let Zhou Changsheng play the victim and express his loyalty. According to Zhao Cong's character, he must have believed in Zhou Changsheng.
But now, can Shangguan Shu do this?
Of course not!
Shangguan Shu said bluntly: "Prime Minister Liu is upright and honest, it must not be him, it must be Zhou Changsheng!"
The prince looked at Shangguan Shu in surprise, "Runzhi, you were the one who recommended him..."
It is precisely because of this that he has complete faith in Zhou Changsheng!
"I was shortsighted for a moment, I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
The prince waved his hand, stopping Shangguan Shu. "Runzhi, what's the point of this relationship between you and me? You're not Zhou Changsheng's inner entrails, so how could you possibly know what he's thinking? And how could you possibly know he's so ruthless?"
Shangguan Shu: ...
He really knew...
The prince frowned and asked three questions, "And since you said it was Zhou Changsheng's fault, do you have any evidence?"
"We need to plan carefully. Given the current situation, if I rashly hand over Zhou Changsheng, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the officials. How can we bring Zhou Changsheng to justice while also extricating myself from this matter?"
Shangguan Shu sighed silently in his heart, then said to the Crown Prince, "If Your Highness trusts me, I will do it for you. In no more than three days, I will definitely make Zhou Changsheng confess his crime and be punished."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Shu was hugged by the excited prince Xiong.
"Runzhi! You are truly my good brother! I was not wrong about you! I love you to death!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
The Crown Prince believed in Shangguan Shu's ability. With Shangguan Shu's words, his originally difficult case was solved. The Crown Prince couldn't control his emotions and said repeatedly: "If you were a woman, I would definitely marry you as the Crown Princess! Cheng Qian really got a good deal!"
Shangguan Shu: ...
The prince slapped Shangguan Shu's shoulder hard, making it slap loudly. "Cheng Qian actually said you were planning a rebellion? How is that possible? I never believed it! Don't worry, Cheng Qian will never abandon you as long as I am alive! Runzhi, you are truly... my treasure!"
Shangguan Shu couldn't hold it in any longer.
...Who wants to be your baby? !
