At that moment, Yun Zishu's expression was very subtle.
What surprised her was not that Situ Wan was beaten, but that Sicang actually had the potential to be a third aunt and a sixth wife.
She was silent for a moment and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Sicang."
Sicang looked at her tenderly.
Being looked at so affectionately by a man with a handsome face and powerful abilities, even Yun Zishu was a little overwhelmed, but she still had to say: "Have you ever noticed that you are a little inconsistent with your usual cold and taciturn image?
?”
Si Cang was silent for a moment, then frowned: "Shu'er thinks I'm a chatterbox?"
Leng Yue, who was standing not far away, burst out laughing. Si Cang raised his eyes to look at her. Leng Yue quickly stopped laughing and bowed her knees to leave.
"I don't dislike it at all." Yun Zishu cupped her chin and looked at him with a smile, "I just think you've changed a bit recently."
"People change." Sicang held her hand, "Besides, being cold and reticent is towards others, and Shu'er is different from them."
Yun Zishu said: "How is it different?"
"Shu'er is the most important person in my heart." Sicang said, "No one in the world can compare to her."
Yun Zishu smiled and quickly changed the subject: "Situ Wan was seriously injured?"
"Yes." Sicang nodded, "Zhongyihou Yanwei has a violent and irritable temperament, and his first wife died in his hands."
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what the Situ family is, it is still the palace of the uncle, and the queen is still there." Yun Zishu was obviously surprised by the boldness of Marquis Zhongyi, "Besides, even if you, the prince, have no relationship with the uncle's palace,
No, apparently the Situ family is still your uncle's family, does Marquis Zhongyi really have no scruples at all?"
"Marquis Zhongyi has the merit of rescuing you. One of his legs was injured by the escort back then, leaving an incurable root of the disease." Si Cangdan said, "The emperor always treats those who are loyal to him with gratitude. As long as
If the other party has no major fault, most of them will turn a blind eye."
Yun Zishu understood.
Emperor Wu actually knew what kind of person Zhongyi Hou was, but he still decreed that Situ Wan should be given to him, which was regarded as acquiescence that Situ Wan would be treated like this in the future.
Marquis Zhongyi dared to attack Situ Wan, and he probably relied on something in his heart. Under the system where men are superior to women, even noble women from powerful families mostly marry chickens and follow chickens, and marry dogs and follow dogs. Once married, they will live and die with their husband's family.
tied together.
If it were the uncle's palace in the past, it would be able to support his daughter, but now they can't protect themselves. Even if they have that intention, they don't dare to cause things that will attract the emperor's attention again.
"There are many powerful people under the emperor's feet, who really has no scheming at all?" Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "Zhongyi Hou was sure that the Situ family was in an embarrassing situation, so he dared to be unscrupulous."
Otherwise, with only one queen, everyone will have to worry about three points.
Sicang nodded: "Yes."
"Sicang." Yun Zishu's voice was low, her eyes falling on Sicang's face, "I have been dreaming these past two nights, and I will dream of some strange scenes."
Si Cang's expression tightened and he asked, "Has your Highness seen anything?"
"I can't see the picture clearly. Even if I can see it clearly occasionally, I forget everything after I wake up." Yun Zishu sighed melancholy, "I have the same dream every night. Don't you think it's weird?"
Si Cang narrowed his eyes and said, "Let Xianglan light some soothing incense for His Highness tonight. This may help you sleep better."
Yun Zishu looked at him calmly: "You have nothing to say to me?"
Si Cang was silent for a moment, then slowly pursed his lips: "What does Your Highness want to hear?"
"What do I want to hear?" Yun Zishu laughed, "This is a strange question."
Sicang remained silent, obviously he also felt that the question he asked was a bit ridiculous.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Yun Zishu's tone was calm, and she could not hear any fluctuations in mood and anger. "Maybe you are not ready to tell everything. I am willing to give you some time, but I don't like to be kept in the dark all the time.
Here, this feeling is quite bad.”
Si Cang tightened his lips: "Your Highness..."
"I guess you have something to hide from me." Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, "If I guess wrong, you can correct me."
Si Cang narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
"When you entered Dongyou Border Pass from Dayong, you said that you felt like you were revisiting your old place." Yun Zishu raised the corner of her lips slightly, "After arriving at Dongyou Imperial City, you knew everything here very well, and you controlled the court situation at an incredible speed.
As you can imagine, these are all abnormal.”
Revisiting the old place can be interpreted as a feeling, the speed of controlling the political situation can be regarded as superior ability, and you don't need to pay too much attention to the dreams every night... After all, dreaming is a common thing for everyone.
But when these unusual things are connected in series, it can no longer be explained as coincidence.
Si Cang's eyebrows were lightly furrowed, as if he was caught in some kind of emotion, and his voice was slightly tight: "If the truth is beyond His Highness's expectations, and may make His Highness unhappy..."
After a slight pause in his tone, he raised his eyes to look at Yun Zishu, with a slightly hesitant expression on his face, "What will Your Highness do?"
Yun Zishu said calmly: "I don't understand what you mean."
Sicang looked at her and moved his lips, but finally fell silent.
"Is the truth so hard for you to tell?"
"No." Sicang shook his head slowly, "I just haven't figured out what to say yet."
Yun Zishu thought for a moment: "Tell me first, are the dreams I have had every night for the past two days related to the truth you concealed?"
Sicang's eyelids drooped slightly: "Yeah."
"So the dream I have every night is not a coincidence, but controlled by someone?"
"It's not a coincidence." Sicang's lowered eyes were full of emotions, "It's not controlled by others either."
"What's going on?"
"...Maybe the memory has awakened." Sicang's voice contained a bit of suppressed emotion, "I don't know how to explain it."
Yun Zishu looked at him steadily, probably not expecting that Sicang, who had always been so strong and invincible, would be in such a difficult situation, and thought for a moment: "Okay, I won't force you anymore."
Sicang glanced at her: "I will not plot against His Highness, nor will I do anything detrimental to His Highness."
"Yes." Yun Zishu nodded, "I believe you."
"I only like His Highness in this life, and I will never abandon His Highness even if I give up my country."
Yun Zishu could see that he was trying his best to prove his feelings, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sicang, I didn't question your feelings, you don't have to worry."
Sicang was not good at words, and he was really constrained by some things at this time, so that he obviously had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to say it at the moment.
The truth was suppressed in his heart, which was a kind of torture and torture for him. He couldn't wait to vent it out, but he didn't dare to take the risk.
Only then did Sicang realize that he was actually a timid person.
