"How else can we say she doesn't know what's good for her! We must snatch Her Highness away!"
The two formed an alliance to deal with Xu Mian.
Late at night, Shi Yan quietly went to Prince Fu's bedroom.
After closing the door, Prince Fu reported, "Your Highness, the guards you originally brought to Zichen Palace have all been transferred to the east to guard the palace gate. The current guards are not from the palace, but were newly transferred from outside the palace two months ago."
He Shi Yan's estimate was good, so he asked, "Who transferred them in?" "
The record shows that Prince Duan asked for His Majesty's will."
Prince Duan? Yi Lan's father, Shi Yan could never imagine his motive for doing this.
"Prince Duan has always been idle, and doesn't look like a person who is greedy for power."
"I don't think so either. After all, Concubine Lan married into the Eastern Palace. If something happens to you, His Highness, wouldn't his daughter also be in trouble?"
The two really couldn't think of anyone else in the court who would do such a rebellious thing .
The emperor disbanded the harem eighteen years ago because he loved Empress Xiao. He only had one prince, so he killed him and found a fake prince to play the role. His goal was the dragon throne in the Golden Palace.
Who has such a big ambition? It's really hard to see through.
Prince Fu poured a glass of wine and said with a smile: "This fake prince is exactly like you, Your Highness, in every aspect. Not only did His Majesty and the Empress not recognize him, but no one in the court noticed it, and some people even sent their daughters to the Eastern Palace to be concubines!"
"Who is the unlucky one?"
Shi Yan was not interested in who entered the Eastern Palace. He only had Xu Mian in his heart.
"A person who has been in love with Your Highness since childhood."
The number one obsessed lackey, Xu Mian once said this to someone, "Pei Ruo?"
"Yes, it is said that Prime Minister Pei asked the Empress for permission, but it's a pity that no one knows that the prince in the Eastern Palace is fake now."
The implication is that the concubines in the Eastern Palace will lose their innocence after being raped by the fake prince.
Shi Yan crushed the wine glass with his big palm, "He can touch anyone but Mian Mian!"
This thought already troubled him and made him flustered. The more desperate he was to find out who was behind the scenes, the harder it was for him to start.
"If there is no other choice, we can only start with the fake prince."
Shi Yan stroked the human skin mask, "This thing is afraid of water, it will fall off once it touches water, so as long as we pour a bucket of water on the fake prince's face, his true colors will be revealed..."
Prince Fu advised: "Your Highness, isn't this too risky? Didn't you say that finding out the mastermind behind the scenes is the most important thing?"
Shi Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Shen Zhao, do you know what it feels like to have your wife with another man every day? I'm afraid in my dreams at night. Mianmian is so innocent and extremely resistant to matters between men and women. I'm afraid that man will force her and she won't be able to bear it."
He was even more afraid that his baby would be touched by someone, which would be more painful than killing him. Prince Fu sighed and said, " I used to think that
Your Highness had only a sense of destiny with the Crown Princess, as they were arranged to be married since childhood, but I didn't expect that you loved her so deeply." Shi Yan was so inexperienced that he didn't know the true heart. After being killed and replaced, Shi Yan regretted it deeply. He regretted that he only knew how to make Xu Mian cry and failed to achieve the right result. "If we can take this opportunity to force the fake Crown Prince to reveal his true face, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely reveal his true colors." Shi Yan's eyes flashed with determination. Prince Fu sighed, "Everything is up to Your Highness. But, Your Highness must be careful." Shi Yan nodded, "I, this matter will be carried out by you in two days." At noon the next day, in the Purple Palace, Shi Jun was reading the memorials. Wei Xin brought in a secret letter, "Your Highness, this is the list of people that the master wants you to bring to the court tomorrow morning." Shi Jun opened the secret letter, which had some names written on it. After reading it, he burned the letter. Wei Xin was still standing, and Shi Jun asked, "Anything else?" "No, I'll take my leave." After he left, Shi Jun whispered, "Damn it, you treated me like a puppet, one day I'll make sure you die without a burial place!" Horrible scenes emerged in his mind. A thin boy, because he didn't explain the contents of the book thoroughly enough, knelt on the ground and let the man whip him. The bloodstains stained his thin back, and the boy knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy. "Yafu, Jun'er knows that he is wrong. Jun'er must work hard." The man whipped him twice again and asked, "What am I to you?" The boy cried, "You are Jun'er's Yafu." The man whipped him again and taught him, "No, I am your father. You must obey me for the rest of your life. Remember?" "Son, remember." The boy bowed his head and clenched his fists. Since he could remember, he was like a dog being tamed by a man. In addition to teaching him the Four Books and Five Classics, everything was to teach Shi Jun to submit to him. But the man didn't know that when the tamed boy grew up, he had his own thoughts. Shi Junfeng's eyes were bloodshot, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, as if he was crying blood. How many times he wanted to end his life because he couldn't hold on any longer, but now he finally held on, and everything seemed to be going smoothly, so smoothly that when the devil didn't show up, he felt that he was free. He also became the crown prince, who was second only to the emperor. When I take the position of crown prince, it will be your death! A palace servant came in and reported, "Your Highness, Concubine Ruo is here to see you." Shi Jun changed his calmness and shouted angrily, "No! Get her out!" The palace servant ran out of the Purple Palace in fear, and naturally didn't tell the truth at the door of the palace, "Concubine Ruo, Your Highness is busy at the moment, so you go back first." Pei Ruo held the food box in his hand, handed it to the guard, and said, "I made some cakes, you can bring them in to Your Highness." Seeing the guard go in, Pei Ruo had no choice but to leave. The palace maid brought in the food box, "Your Highness, these are the cakes that the rumored concubine brought. She said she made them herself." Shi Jun lost control and raised the sword, fiercely approaching the palace maid. The palace maid was so scared that she knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, spare my life." Shi Jun swung the sword and chopped the food box into pieces. The wooden food box fell apart, and the cakes and the plate inside rolled out.
"From now on, no one will be allowed to enter the palace without my consent. Any concubine from the East Palace who comes must say that I am busy!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The palace maid trembled in fear and agreed.
Shi Jun threw down the sword and walked out of the palace.
Wei Xin came in and knew why he was angry, so he asked the palace maid to clean up the scene.
On the ceremonial procession, Shi Jun looked at the majestic imperial palace, and the hatred in his heart gradually turned into ambition.
I must sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, and I must be the dragon chair in the Golden Palace, stepping on everyone under my feet, and let them die under my feet!
.There is only one place in the palace that can make him calm.
The ceremonial procession stopped outside the gate of Penglai Palace.
After getting off the ceremonial procession, Shi Jun straightened his robes and entered the palace without letting anyone know.
When I walked in, I saw Xu Mian dozing off on the swing with a Persian cat in her arms.
The girl was standing under the wisteria flowers, with the skin under her eyelids showing a light pink color, like the first blooming rose petals in the morning light.
Her eyelashes were like dense feathers, and her nose was straight and elegant.
Her lips were soft and plump, slightly open, and it seemed that you could see the tip of her tongue as pink as cherry blossoms. She
seemed to be immersed in a sweet dream, occasionally making tiny sounds in her sleep.
Shi Jun didn't wake her up, but squatted on one knee, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her fluffy and soft hair.
The Persian cat seemed to be calling her, and Xu Mian woke up dazedly. Seeing the man staring at her, she quickly touched the corner of her mouth. Did she drool when she squinted just now?
Shi Jun touched her head. Although there was no smile on his face, his voice was low and doting: "Don't worry, there is no saliva. If there is, I will definitely wipe it off for you."
