Chapter 97
Sheng Yixuan frowned and fell into deep thought. He sat there quietly, his eyes becoming sharp. After a while, he suddenly said, "What a good plan! If I die alone, then I'm afraid I'll have to hand over this important task of resettling the victims to others!" There was a hint of helplessness and anger in his voice.
Sheng Yixuan was fully aware that he shouldered a huge responsibility, and this sudden assassination undoubtedly dealt him a heavy blow. He couldn't help but sigh at the cunning and insidiousness of the people behind the scenes. They actually chose to attack him at this critical moment...
Yin Zijin frowned slightly, and a hint of fatigue and confusion appeared in her eyes. He seemed to be lost in thought, as if he suddenly thought of something important: "It seems that Your Highness has guessed who is behind this. However, I don't understand why he would act so blatantly. Isn't he worried about being caught?
In other words, is the reason why the person behind the scenes resorted to such extreme measures because he had unavoidable reasons and had to get rid of you? ”
The two seemed to have a telepathic connection. They just looked at each other for a second and said in unison: "Greedy..."
Sheng Yixuan said with a serious look in his eyes: "Prince Lu is now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. This may not be accidental. As early as three years ago, Prince Lu began to get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites under the intentional or unintentional arrangement of his father. Perhaps the behavior of corruption had quietly begun several years ago. When the deficit became serious to a certain extent, they might have no choice but to take risks..." His voice was low, as if carrying a deep worry.
Sheng Yixuan sighed and said: "Today's Great Sheng Dynasty seems to be full of flowers and brocade, prosperous and extravagant.
In fact, it is already terminally ill and rotten to the core. The power of the aristocratic families is too great and they influence the imperial authority. In fact, some of the important decisions made by my father are now also influenced by the aristocratic families. My father’s attitude towards the aristocratic families is that he fears and envies them, but he cannot do without them.
As for us princes, we are not fully trusted, because we princes are also products of aristocratic families. Father wants to be impartial and achieve the so-called balance..."
Yin Zijin was born in the Yin family, one of the four great families, so he could naturally understand what Sheng Yixuan said. The aristocratic family has accumulated tens of thousands of wealth, with money and power at their fingertips, and they can even afford to keep a military force.
Yin Zijin nodded and said, "Zijin was born in the Yin family in Jiangnan. Zijin understands the power of the family. But everything that is strong must decline. The so-called power and wealth are just passing clouds, just like trying to get chestnuts out of the fire or cooking oil on a raging fire. Little do you know that you will burn yourself at that moment."
Sheng Yi quickly grabbed Yin Zijin's arm, and as if he felt it was unreasonable, he quickly let go and said, "Zijin, from now on, don't bother with my business anymore. The Yin family in Jiangnan has always remained neutral and loyal to the imperial power. If you interfere, it will be very dangerous. Zijin is so smart, he should be able to understand what I mean.
I will take care of the rest. Zijin is recuperating and having a good rest in Fu'an Temple. ”
Yin Zijin knew that he couldn't help Sheng Yixuan, but he wasn't the kind of person who would pester and drag things out. Then he quickly said: "Okay, Zijin hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is safe. Zijin will take good care of herself and will not cause any trouble for you."
Then Yin Zijin raised her wrist, and a string of purple colored glass beads appeared in front of the two of them: "This is a token from your highness to Zijin. Zijin is waiting..."
As he was speaking, Nanny Zhou pushed the door open and walked over with a tray holding a large bowl of pear and white fungus porridge. It was placed on the small table next to the bed. Madam Zhou squatted down, scooped a small porcelain bowl, and handed it to Yin Zijin: "The porridge is ready, let His Royal Highness have a taste!"
Yin Zijin scooped a spoonful, blew on it, and tested the temperature before handing it to Sheng Yixuan: "Your Highness is a patient, eat first..."
After eating the porridge, Yin Zijin removed the gauze on Sheng Yixuan's injured part, disinfected the wound, applied medicine, and re-bandaged it. The blood dripping from the wound accidentally fell onto the purple glass beads and disappeared instantly.
In an imperceptible place, the purple glass beads emitted a dark light for a moment, and then returned to normal.
After helping Sheng Yixuan lie down, Sheng Yixuan quickly said, "Zijin, go back and rest! You are not feeling well."
Yin Zijin nodded, bowed and said, "Take care, Your Highness." Then he withdrew.
Sheng Yixuan stared in a daze at Yin Zijin's frail figure that would fall down at the slightest gust of wind. I couldn't help thinking: "It turns out that after staying in the cold palace for a long time, I can still feel the long-lost warmth..."
When Yin Zi returned to his residence, it was already dawn. Ruhe had already made the bedding. Yin Zijin seemed very tired, so he asked Ruhe to change his clothes and then lay down on the bed.
Nanny Zhou rubbed Yin Zijin's breasts for another quarter of an hour. Yin Zijin moaned a few times but did not wake up. Nanny Zhou covered Yin Zijin with a thin blanket and then instructed Ruhe beside her: "From now on, rub the young lady more in the morning and at noon. I will come at night. You stay with the young lady! I will go back to sleep first."
Nanny Zhou yawned and walked out.
