"Your Majesty, Your Majesty secretly issued an edict to allow you to enter the palace." Beside you, the secret guard landed on the ground and spoke in a low voice.
Xiao Junze frowned and left the palace directly.
…
Woodshed.
Chaoyang was prepared in advance, she knew what she was going to face.
"Take the people away!" The housekeeper personally took the people and dragged Chaoyang away from the woodshed.
"What do you want to do..." Chaoyang asked weakly, breathing weakly.
"The princess is seriously ill and I'm afraid she won't survive the night. This old slave has been ordered by the prince to send the princess off properly." The housekeeper lowered his voice and asked someone to take Chaoyang away.
"Be clean and tidy, and don't let anyone see any flaws, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble." The butler said thoughtfully, signaling to the boy next to him to be smarter.
The man quickly agreed and spoke in a low voice. "There is a way to get people on the road without leaving traces. It's just... it's a little troublesome and a waste of time."
"Just watch and deal with it and don't make any mistakes."
…
Shen family mansion.
"Let your people get rid of that hidden danger." Emperor Long was not a fool. Since he recognized that Chaoyang was not Shen Yunrou, Chaoyang should die.
His subordinates helped Shen Qingzhou study his ink and spoke in a low voice, "There is a saying in Xifeng that I don't know whether to say or not."
"Say." The Prime Minister dipped his pen in ink and wrote furiously on the paper.
The subordinate named Xifeng is a well-known expert on the Fengtian Ranking. He has been following Shen Qingzhou for more than twenty years and is Shen Qingzhou's most trusted person.
He is also the person who knows Shen Qingzhou best.
After settling his eyes, Xifeng sighed softly. Shen Qingzhou's ambition... overflowed in his calligraphy and painting.
"Xifeng thinks that Chaoyang still has value, but he can't get rid of it yet."
Shen Qingzhou's hand holding the pen paused, and he glanced sideways at Xifeng, his eyes deep and sharp.
"Prime Minister, please calm down. The beast that was being hunted today lost control and injured Prince Yu. Your Majesty ordered people to conduct a thorough investigation of the blood, rust, and fragrance. It has already been traced to you and Prince Yu..." Xifeng paused and spoke again. "Besides, the people of Xifeng I just sent a message that your Majesty secretly issued an edict asking King Li to enter the palace."
With a bang, the pen in Shen Qingzhou's hand fell on the table.
After years of planning, he couldn't afford to fail.
Whoever falls in this world in the future will be the prime minister of the country who is under one person and above ten thousand people in Fengtian, but it cannot be Xiao Junze.
Otherwise, the Shen family will be destroyed.
"At this time, we need our spies around King Li." Xifeng reminded in a low voice.
"You think I don't understand the pros and cons of this? Your Majesty saw Chaoyang today, and with your vigilance, you may have already guessed Chaoyang's identity." Shen Qingzhou's eyes were deep.
"Chaoyang's most fatal weakness lies in your hands, Prime Minister. Your Majesty is afraid of you, otherwise today Chun Lie will..."
Shen Qingzhou thought for a moment and said coldly, "Send someone to the prince's palace to deliver the message. It's time for the prince to return with the princess!"
Xifeng raised his hand respectfully and breathed a sigh of relief when he left.
I hope I can save a life for Chaoyang.
…
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"Do you know the reason why I called you here late at night?" Emperor Long leaned on the couch, removing his makeup and looking pale.
Xiao Junze subconsciously looked away. Even though he had hated the man in front of him for more than ten years, this was his father after all.
"I thought you had made some progress, but you are still so inflexible and don't know how to advance or retreat." Emperor Long coughed, a little angry.
This child's stubborn temper really followed his mother...
"Do you know why I wanted to destroy you? And why did I trap the daughter of the Murong family in the deep palace?" Emperor Long's breathing was not smooth, and he was obviously suppressing his anger.
Xiao Junze remained silent and clenched his hands until they were shaking.
He knows everything, even though he knows his feelings for Ling'er, he still does this.
"The Murong family is extremely ambitious, and this woman named Murong Ling is not worthy of your love." Emperor Long shook his head. Before entering the palace, he loved Xiao Junze to the death, but after entering the palace, he plotted to seduce him in order to keep the emperor's heir!
Even a lad of Xiao Junze's age can't see through this kind of woman!
The eunuch gently stroked Emperor Long's back, signaling him not to be angry.
"My father has read countless daughters, and I understand women better. I will remember this!" Xiao Junze gritted his teeth and endured. His words were meant to be remembered, but the expression on his face was dissatisfaction.
Linger is the best woman he has ever seen.
"Xiao Junze!" Emperor Long was completely angered by Xiao Junze. "Is it possible that you still want to wait until your father is dead to marry her? I tell you, I let her enter the palace to make you give up! As long as you are still Xiao
I will never allow you to take her as your concubine!"
"Father!" Xiao Junze also looked at Emperor Long angrily.
"If it weren't for her, I'd probably have died in the summer resort that year!" Xiao Junze knelt on the ground with a bang. "Why did my father have to do this..."
"The person who harmed you has not yet been identified, but you remember the person who saved you very well. If I told you that the person who assassinated you back then was most likely related to the Murong family, would you be so persistent?" Emperor Long coughed violently.
Xiao Junze was worried about Emperor Long's health, but still wanted to argue for Murong Ling. "Father, even if it is related to the Murong family, it has nothing to do with Ling'er. She is innocent."
"Your Majesty..." The eunuch felt sorry for Emperor Long's body. "Prince Li, please stop saying a few words."
Xiao Junze looked away and said nothing.
Emperor Long shook his head, Xiao Junze was probably lost in his thoughts.
His life is approaching, and the one he can't let go of the most is Xiao Junze.
Today in spring hunting, the woman beside him...
Although she is not Shen Qingzhou's legitimate daughter, she is definitely Xiao Junze's noble person. "Shen Qingzhou gave this treasure to you by mistake. What is the name of your princess?"
Xiao Junze's body stiffened. His father actually had an impression of Chaoyang and knew her true identity.
Suddenly a chill ran down his spine. His father was the highest controller of Fengtian.
If you are healthy, no one in the capital of Fengtian will be able to make waves.
"Chaoyang..." Xiao Junze said Chaoyang's name.
"Chaoyang..." Emperor Long recited Chaoyang's name thoughtfully. "When I saw her today, I felt that she looked very familiar. She is the daughter of my old friend. You can trust her."
Xiao Junze looked at Emperor Long in shock. "What are you talking about? She is the spy that Shen Qingzhou sent to his son..."
Emperor Long frowned, Shen Qingzhou! "That woman's mother is my old friend. I entrusted Shen Qingzhou to protect her mother and daughter in the summer resort. He thought that I would not wake up this time, so he was so bold!"
"
Shen Qingzhou was also one of the most trusted people by Emperor Long back then, but the death of the first empress was related to him... and the Shen family. Shen Qingzhou knew very well that Xiao Junze would not let go of the Shen family if he ascended the throne, so... he planned to marry Yu
The prince is focused on making plans for the future of the Shen family?
Sighing, Emperor Long shook his head.
Causal loop……
"Find a way to rescue Chaoyang's mother. If they help you, they can protect you for a hundred years." Emperor Long said meaningfully and waved his hand. "I'm tired, let's go."
Xiao Junze's heart was instantly pulled.
What is the identity of Shen Chaoyang and her mother that makes his father value them so much?
Turning around and running out of the inner palace in panic, Xiao Junze rode his horse and ran wildly out of the palace gate.
Before he left the palace... he had Chaoyang executed.
…
Prince Li's Mansion.
"Continue to add paper and pour water."
Cruel laughter echoed in the execution room. Chaoyang clenched his hands hard and his whole body tensed.
These people did everything they could to get rid of her without anyone noticing.
He was tied to the torture bed, Chaoyang's face was covered with wet paper, and he had difficulty breathing.
His consciousness began to blur, and Chaoyang struggled hard.
