Chapter 233 Jinshi, is this your boyfriend?
Even if he told the truth to the Fifth Prince, he would still be doomed to death, so it would be better for him to firmly join Shen Shilang.
As long as Shen Shilang doesn't fall, he can survive.
The hall opens.
The people outside the hall saw that everyone inside was kneeling on the ground, and the second prince had already fainted from his injuries.
Looking again, the person hanging on the beam inside was actually Emperor Jiacheng.
Everyone outside the hall fell to their knees, shocked and frightened, not daring to look anymore.
Shen Shilang knelt on the ground and cried out in pain: "Your Majesty, I am too late to save you!"
Eunuch Shen cried out in a sharp and shrill voice: "Your Majesty, you have passed away!"
According to Shen Shilang's previous instructions, Eunuch Shen repeated, "The eldest prince imprisoned Your Majesty and fed Your Majesty poison. The second prince led his troops into the palace and took advantage of the chaos to kill Your Majesty and the eldest prince, but was severely injured by the eldest prince. Your Majesty could not bear the pain of the poison and died..."
"Your Majesty!" the crowd outside the palace shouted.
The palace was in chaos, and the palace maids and eunuchs were in a panic.
No one dared to speak it out loud, but everyone knew that the eldest prince and the second prince had rebelled, and the second prince was now seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain. The throne fell on the head of the fifth prince who had never been noticed by anyone.
The fifth prince is really lucky to follow Shen Shilang.
The palace had the extremely experienced eunuch Shen to restore order, and Wei Jianlang assisted General Cheng in cleaning up the people of the eldest and second princes.
Shen Shilang went to see the fifth prince and used the same rhetoric he had used to the outside world.
The Fifth Prince looked at Shen Shilang calmly, without any excitement or joy about being crowned emperor.
He said quietly, "Sir, there is no need to hide it from me."
Ever since Shen Shilang became the Grand Tutor, the Fifth Prince has always called him Grand Tutor and no longer calls him Sir.
This title seemed to bring them back to the difficult days when both of them were in trouble.
"The late emperor never treated us as his own sons, otherwise he wouldn't have forced my elder and second brothers to want to kill him." The fifth prince said, "The late emperor thought that the elixir needed to be exchanged for life span, and he asked for our life spans without hesitation. I don't have much father-son affection for him anymore."
The Fifth Prince looked at Shen Shilang, "Sir, do you think I am too heartless? I don't feel any sadness for the death of the late emperor."
Shen Shilang was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "The late emperor was not a good father to you, Your Highnesses, and he was not a good emperor to his subjects."
"Sir." The fifth prince did not play dumb, "I will do it well."
Shen Shilang nodded.
"Your Highness, please prepare yourself well. You will stay in the Queen's palace for the next few days. Don't go out. Remember to keep the palace door closed and no one should be seen for the time being." Shen Shilang warned.
"good."
The Imperial Clothing Bureau is already working overtime, making a dragon robe and various imperial uniforms according to the Fifth Prince's measurements.
Shen Shilang didn't return to the Shen Mansion until dark.
Su Jinshi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Shilang returned safely.
Previously, the eldest prince's men couldn't find Shen Shilang, so Shen Shilang temporarily placed everyone in the Shen Mansion somewhere else, and took Su Jinshi to meet up with Wei Zhaoxian and Wei Jianlang alone.
I have to go to the palace to finish things today, so I brought everyone back to the Shen Mansion.
After returning to the bedroom with Shen Shilang, Su Jinshi hurriedly asked, "What's going on in the palace?"
Since Shen Shilang was not around, she had no way of checking the situation in the palace through her cell phone.
She had already thought about it. If Shen Shilang really failed, she would definitely find a way to get to Shen Shilang's side, open the portal and take Shen Shilang away with her.
"The process went very smoothly. Now Jianlang and General Cheng are finishing up in the palace. General Wei has lost his position after all, so it is not appropriate for him to come forward." Shen Shilang explained, "Within three days, the Second Prince will die from his injuries. Then the Fifth Prince will ascend the throne."
Although he knew that the road to becoming an emperor was always full of these things, and that what was shown in TV dramas was even bloodier than what happened this time, Su Jinshi still couldn't help but sigh.
I had clearly seen this person before, alive and well, and now he was gone just like that.
As expected, the second prince did not survive the third day and died on the second day.
On the third day, the fifth prince packed up and ascended the throne.
Shen Shilang remained the Grand Tutor, assisting the Fifth Prince in handling state affairs.
Because of his involvement in the eldest prince's rebellion, Grand Tutor Liu was thrown into prison, executed at a later date, and his entire family was exiled.
When Grand Tutor Liu was in prison, he couldn't help but wonder how General Cheng was okay.
How could General Cheng be fine if he followed the prince in the rebellion? Master Liu ran away early, and hurriedly took his family and their belongings back to the mansion to escape. He didn't know that General Cheng had completely turned against Shen Shilang in the palace, and was captured by Wei Jianlang's troops halfway.
Now in prison, I can’t figure it out no matter how hard I try.
Shen Shilang helped the Fifth Prince to stabilize the court for a while, and then returned to the modern era with Su Jinshi.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Su Jinshi stayed in Daxi for too long this time.
However, this time when he went back, Shen Shilang also brought a lot of supplements as gifts for his first visit to Su's father and mother.
Shen Shilang packed up all the precious supplements that Emperor Jiacheng had rewarded him with, which was indeed a bit too much.
All the empty rooms in Su Jinshi’s house were filled with stuff.
"This is too much. If you send it all at once, not only can't we take it, my parents' house won't be able to accommodate it either." Su Jinshi said, "We don't give so many gifts at once here."
Even if it was placed in Daxi, it would take two carriages to pull it over.
"Then pick some to take over first. There will be a lot more in Daxi, and they can be sent home continuously." Shen Shilang said.
Su Jinshi thought that it was not accurate to say that Shen Shilang was second only to the emperor now. He truly held great power in Daxi and was completely independent.
We have everything you want, guaranteed first-hand supply.
So the two of them packed up, changed into modern home clothes, and began to choose gifts for Su's father and mother.
Afterwards, Su Jinshi took Shen Shilang to buy a few sets of clothes for the season.
Then he called home and said he wanted to bring Shen Shilang home to visit and asked them when they would be free.
Before Mr. Su could say anything, Mrs. Su said they were available any time, even this afternoon.
"It's too rushed in the afternoon, how about tomorrow?" Su Jinshi asked.
"That's fine." Su's mother said, "It's just right for us to prepare."
Shen Shilang was also very nervous about meeting Su Jinshi's parents.
She chose a modern formal suit and tied her hair neatly into a low ponytail.
"Jinshi, what about me doing this?" Shen Shilang asked Su Jinshi nervously.
"Very good." Su Jinshi nodded as he looked at it.
It’s good to be good-looking. You look good in anything you wear, even in modern formal clothes.
Afterwards, the two set off to Su Jinshi’s parents’ home.
The online-hailing car arrived downstairs of Su Jinshi's parents' house. As soon as Shen Shilang and Su Jinshi got out of the car, they were spotted by the neighbors.
When the neighbor saw Shen Shilang, he asked Su Jinshi in surprise, "Jinshi, is this your boyfriend?"
