Chapter 224 Will Your Highness dislike me for being old?



"For example, some people shouldn't die, but the overall situation wants them to die, so it's hard to save them. If you save them, you might get implicated."

"Some people deserve to die, but the situation doesn't allow them to die so quickly. In that case, we can't rush to kill them. If we kill them, I will have to bear the consequences myself."

Shen Ruyi looked at Rong Yan and said sincerely: "Your Highness, I need you."

Rong Yan likes her personality.

I will express it directly: if I like it, I like it; if I don’t like it, I don’t like it; if I need it, I need it; if I don’t need it, I don’t need it.

This allowed him to always know exactly what she wanted.

It is also always easier to know how to love her and what to give her.

"The emperor doesn't want the court to be unstable, so he hopes that the prince can live well, at least for seven or eight years, nearly ten years."

"But at the same time, he wants to abolish the prime minister system because the prime minister has absolute power, which affects the voices of others and prevents him from seeing the truth."

“It’s also affecting his power.”

“He felt insecure.”

Rong Yan said, looking at Shen Ruyi, "So, what he wants now is to depose the Prime Minister, but he can't implicate more people."

"Because so many people were implicated, the political situation became unstable."

“Once there is unrest, foreign enemies will have an opportunity to take advantage.”

Shen Ruyi understood, "That is to say, Shen Cangyun will be convicted this time, but the crime will definitely not be serious enough to kill him, and it will not involve his sons."

"Because that would mean the Shen family is completely ruined."

“Once there is no hope at all, those who previously attached themselves to the Shen family will be in a state of panic, the political situation will be turbulent, new parties will be formed, and everything will get out of control.”

Rong Yan nodded, "You are very smart."

"So, this time the defense map must be intercepted. We have to find someone from the Shen family to do this, not to give them credit, but to neutralize it and prevent the Prime Minister's Mansion from being wiped out."

Even if they want to wipe out the whole family, they have to wait until Shen Ruyi has nothing to do with this group of people, and it is not Shen Ruyi's subjective will.

Everyone in the world must believe that Shen Ruyi has nothing to do with the Shen family.

Otherwise, Shen Ruyi would inevitably be implicated.

Even if Rong Yan became emperor in the future and appointed a queen, he would easily be criticized and people would bring up the Shen family.

We still need to take precautions against these things in advance.

In addition, the emperor does not want the balance under the influence of the Shen family to collapse, so some things cannot be rushed.

He looked at Shen Ruyi and said, "As for who to let go, it's up to you to decide."

Shen Ruyi fell silent.

Shen Cangyun is the person the emperor wants to demote, so he definitely cannot go on this matter.

Shen Yu has evil intentions. If he did, he would not have done such an inappropriate thing as Shen Jiaojiao.

Moreover, he was already a royal guard and could only be demoted but not promoted.

Shen Ci is a doctor, so it is unrealistic for him to stop people.

Moreover, although this person seems gentle, he is actually the most unreliable.

Shen Qi is too young.

After much thought, only Shen Luo was left.

"Then...Shen Luo."

Shen Ruyi looked at Rong Yan, "But Your Highness, don't tell him it was my idea."

She didn't want to have anything to do with the Shen family anymore.

Rong Yan nodded, "Now it seems that Shen Luo is indeed the only one who can do this."

He said, glancing outside the door, "Fengying, go do it."

"yes!"

Fengying nodded and left.

Rong Yan looked at Shen Ruyi again, "I will tell my father about Shen Cangyun's brutal murder of you in order to rescue Shen Jiaojiao."

"It may take a few days though."

"Today, news came from the East Palace that the Crown Prince came to the palace to ask Father to cancel the engagement, and Father promised him that he would issue an imperial decree within three days. We must come out after he cancels the engagement, lest he come back to haunt us like a cowhide plaster."

He didn't want Shen Ruyi to be touched by others again.

bother!

Shen Ruyi nodded, "Then I will listen to your highness."

Rong Yan stretched out his hand and put his arm around her shoulders. "After you become a woman, Shen Cangyun's punishment will also come... Maybe, these two will happen one after the other."

"The next step is to set up a cabinet."

Shen Ruyi pondered his words, "So, how will these things affect the East Palace, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince?"

She needs to have a plan in mind when dealing with these people in the future.

Rong Yan summarized the information he had received in the past few days and said, "First of all, we can only intercept the defense map sent by the Nanchu spy, but we cannot intercept the one in the hands of the third prince."

"That is to say, the Third Prince will find a time to make another deal with the people of Nanchu."

"He has two purposes."

"The first one is to let Nan Chu attack my southern border and lure me there so that I have no time to interfere in the government, and he can stay and concentrate on winning the throne."

"The second is to get rid of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."

"But if he wants to ascend the throne, his hands must be clean, so he will instigate the Second Prince's men to do the job of killing the Crown Prince."

"And the Second Prince's true colors have been exposed because of his proposal to marry you. Now, his father has sent him to guard the old lady of the Gu family. He is already very nervous and has sent secret agents to contact his followers everywhere. He is afraid of enemies everywhere."

"If my guess is correct, the Third Prince will create a conflict between the Eastern Palace and the Second Prince in the near future, then kill the Crown Prince and let the Second Prince take the blame, killing two birds with one stone."

"When the Crown Prince and the Second Prince die, the Third Prince will be the oldest among the princes."

"The crown prince should choose the eldest son instead of the youngest. This will give him the best chance of becoming the heir."

This is also the reason why Rong Yan doesn't want to stand out in a hurry.

He is the ninth one.

It is still a long way for him to take the throne.

Shen Ruyi had a rough idea in her mind, "That is to say, if something happens to Shen Cangyun, it will become a fuse for the Second Prince to jump up and down."

"Once the crown prince dies, the second prince will have a motive to kill."

"After all, Shen Cangyun was once a member of the Second Prince's party. Now that the Shen family has collapsed, the Second Prince is afraid of losing his chance, so it is understandable that he would do something desperate."

"That's right."

Rong Yan nodded, "What you need to do now is to study medicine and practice martial arts well."

"As for the rest, I won't move unless the enemy moves."

"Whoever moves now will die the fastest."

Shen Ruyi nodded, "Well, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, hiding ourselves, is the best outcome for us."

But at the same time, she also figured out another problem.

"It's just that I'm a lucky star, and I'm at the age to get married, so there will always be people who come to propose marriage. The emperor must have his own considerations."

"Even if the prince cancels the engagement, I'm afraid our marriage won't be possible for a while."

Because even if the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince were all dead, Rong Yan still had five older brothers above him!

In this case, the emperor would marry her to whoever he wanted to help ascend the throne.

That wasn't the ending she wanted.

"I don't want to be married again."

She glanced at Rong Yan and said, "Your Highness, I would like to go to the palace and ask the Emperor to allow me to enter the Shaolin Temple and live as a lay disciple. I will not get married within three years."

"This is probably the result that Father wants to see the most."

Rong Yan hugged her tightly, "I'm sorry to have wronged you. Three years is not a short time. After three years, you will be nineteen."

In today's Beijing, she is considered a grown-up girl.

You will be laughed at.

"Will Your Highness dislike my age?"

Shen Ruyi looked at him, her eyes quietly fixed on his face, but a hint of smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
