Chapter 103: Seventy Percent Similar
Shen Zhixu was happy at first, but after meeting the Fourth Prince's gaze, his heart sank instantly.
There was a strong murderous intent in the fourth prince's eyes.
He was reckless.
I just want to get the attention of the Fourth Prince.
But they forget the consequences of doing so.
He was too eager.
"Throw him into the dungeon and interrogate him strictly." The Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes slightly. Just now, he and several staff members decided to go hunting in the West Mountain Paddock.
Assassins do have one.
It was just something he directed and acted out himself in order to deal with the prince.
How did Shen Zhixu know about this?
"Your Highness, things are not what you think..." Shen Zhixu was full of panic. He didn't even have time to explain before he was thrown into the dungeon.
Xie Changning has returned to the Duke's Mansion.
"Sui Sui, what has been going on these days? You don't let us get involved, and you don't let us ask. You have to give us an explanation!" The old lady looked at her worriedly.
The same is true for Lin.
These days, the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion have been a hot topic, so how could they not know about it?
Xie Changning gave the old lady a look.
The old lady immediately dismissed all the servants.
Only then did Xie Changning tell the story of the child being swapped.
"What a vicious woman! I really want to kill Qin." The old lady's eyes were red and she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Lin was shocked, "Sister, where is your child?"
Xie Changning shook his head, "I've already asked someone to check."
She didn't say much.
Suddenly, Lin thought of something. "Sister, I remember clearly that every time you were pregnant, you were extremely uncomfortable. There seems to be a drug that can induce labor. As long as you take this drug after having sex, you will get pregnant. However, taking this drug comes at a price. The child you conceive will most likely die."
"That vicious woman Qin must have used this drug on you. Otherwise, how could you and Wu get pregnant at the same time?"
"I know." Xie Changning's voice was hoarse. When she first married into the Marquis' Mansion, Qin was very kind to her and often asked people to send her tonic soup. She had already thought that the medicine to induce labor was in the tonic soup.
I also know that her child is in great danger...
But it is not necessarily the case that every time she gets pregnant, it is related to labor-inducing drugs.
"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. We have received good news. Big brother will be returning triumphantly soon. Today is a good day worth celebrating." Xie Changning said casually.
She left only after having lunch with her mother and sister-in-law.
As soon as she got on the carriage, Xie Nan appeared.
After hearing what Xie Nan said, she looked shocked.
How did Shen Zhixu know that the Fourth Prince was going to hunt in the West Mountain enclosure and would be assassinated?
This really happened in my previous life.
Your Majesty has many sons and daughters, so even if the Crown Prince falls, it may not be his turn.
The fifth prince was also favored.
The Fourth Prince did this to get rid of the Fifth Prince.
But in this life, the prince has not fallen, and his action must be aimed at the prince.
She had thought of this matter a few days ago and made arrangements in advance.
The question is, how did Shen Zhixu know?
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility, could it be that... Shen Zhixu was reborn just like her!!!
If that's true, that would be interesting.
From the powerful Prime Minister to the insignificant Deputy Envoy of the Imperial Stables, Shen Zhixu certainly could not accept this gap.
That's why he was so impatient to find the Fourth Prince.
I'm afraid he could never have imagined in his dreams that the Fourth Prince would treat him like this!
Upon learning that Shen Zhixu was thrown into the dungeon by the Fourth Prince, Xie Changning's eyes were filled with mockery. This man! When he gets anxious, he loses his sense of proportion. Shen Zhixu is just like that.
So what if he comes back to life?
One wrong step leads to all wrong.
The Fourth Prince is extremely suspicious. After what happened today, it is impossible for Shen Zhixu to follow the Fourth Prince's path again!
The Fourth Prince was merciful in sparing his life.
Even this mercy was shown out of consideration for the Duke's and Marquis's Mansions.
There is no doubt that he will suffer a lot.
In the dungeon.
"Pa pa pa..." The whip soaked in salt water hit Shen Zhixu mercilessly. After a few whips, his skin was torn and flesh was exposed. It was not until this time that he realized where he was wrong.
The assassination must have been staged by the Fourth Prince himself.
If he suddenly revealed this matter, it would only arouse the Fourth Prince's suspicion.
"Tell me, why do you know this? If you don't want to die, I advise you to tell the truth."
Shen Zhixu couldn't answer this question at all. Did he have to say that he was reborn?
This way, he will only die faster!
"I happened to have a dream and got a glimpse of some of the secrets!" He could only say this, hoping that the Fourth Prince would believe him.
"Hahaha... What a dream! Then ask him, will it be sunny or cloudy tomorrow? Will it rain? As long as he can answer, this prince will believe him." The fourth prince said with a sarcastic look on his face.
How could Shen Zhixu remember such a trivial matter?
Naturally he couldn't answer.
Fortunately, he had no connection with the other princes, and the Fourth Prince's people could not find out anything.
In the end, they beat him half to death and dumped him on the road, telling the public that he had offended the Fourth Prince.
When Bai Xizhi found him, he was covered in blood and had already passed out.
Xie Changning was pruning branches when she received the news. A fierce look flashed across her eyes, and a sneer crossed her lips. "I want to see how he rises to prominence in this life."
Soon, he will face a reality.
Without the support of the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion, he is nothing!
Night soon fell.
After Shen Zhizhou had dinner with Xie Changning, he was about to return to his own courtyard when he was stopped by someone.
"Third brother, do you really want to fight with second brother? You must know that there is order of seniority. No matter how much you fight, it will be useless!" Shen Zhiyan stood in the shadows, his expression was particularly indifferent. Tonight, his mother only allowed his third brother to accompany her for dinner.
In addition to everything that happened in the past two days, my mother revealed everything to everyone.
She planned to let her third brother inherit the title of Marquis.
Then what is he?
Shen Zhizhou looked at him with a smile, "Look at what you said, second brother. When did I ever argue with you? Besides, is it useful to argue about this matter? It depends on what mother wants. If you ask me, I will blame you for this. Who made you behave so badly and hurt mother's heart? Otherwise, how could I, your younger brother, have any say in this matter?"
Both of them showed their talents.
Shen Zhiyan stepped forward and asked, "So, Third Brother is unwilling to give up?"
Shen Zhizhou raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Second brother, I've said it all, this matter depends on mother's feelings. As long as you can make mother change her mind, I don't care."
“You…” Shen Zhiyan brushed his hand away.
“If there’s nothing else, second brother, I’ll go back first.” Shen Zhizhou turned and left.
Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from Xie Changning.
This was exactly what she wanted.
Early the next morning, everyone boarded a carriage to Tianning Temple.
Xie Changning asked Shen Zhizhou to ride in the same carriage with her.
Shen Zhiyan and Shen Jingshu rode in the same carriage.
Along the way, Shen Zhiyan's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out.
Shen Jingshu glanced at him and said, "It seems that Second Brother may not be able to get what he wants. What should we do?"
"You are wrong. I will definitely get what you want." Shen Zhiyan looked at her intently.
Soon, everyone arrived at Tianning Temple.
Xie Changning asked each of them to copy a scroll of scriptures and pray for Qin.
They are still very willing to help the Qin family.
She took Mother Du to Jiyun Temple, which was adjacent to Tianning Temple.
Xie Lin had already arranged everything.
"Donor, this is Wangchen. She looked like this when she was sent here. Her madness has become more and more serious in the past two years." Master Mo Wen said, looking at a middle-aged woman in the room.
She was wearing a gray monk's robe and holding a tattered pillow in her arms. "I knew my child was still alive. My dear child, can I sing you a child's song?"
She looked crazy and hummed nursery rhymes over and over again.
She looks 70% similar to Qin...
