After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 139 "Your Majesty, I will never do anything that is detrimental to the Emperor."

"...Which is more important, hurrying on your journey or your health?"

As Shen Changle walked to the door, Shen Changning's impatient scolding voice came from inside the house.

This was followed by Shen Tingyu's helpless sigh.

"An Yue has invaded the border, and the people are in a panic. The court needs the emperor to return and take charge to calm the people."

"But you are so seriously injured, how can you travel?"

"I, your humble servant, boldly request that Your Majesty... allow me to return to the capital first."

Shen Changning was silent for a while.

When he spoke again, there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"You want me to abandon you and return to the capital alone?"

Shen Tingyu was still pleading earnestly.

"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Sometimes, I'm really curious. If I weren't the emperor, would you still take the knife for me like you did last night?"

Shen Changning spoke slowly, with too much pent-up emotion.

Forced, lost, and seemingly, a deep sadness...

Shen Changle didn't quite understand why her brother asked this, but she had thought about it countless times...

If they were just children from ordinary families, would the emperor's brother and uncle not always quarrel like this?

She held her breath and waited quietly for Shen Tingyu's answer.

After a long silence, I finally heard him say:

"That's impossible. You've been the crown prince since birth, and I'm destined to be your uncle..."

Shen Changle was so confused after listening to the same old talk from these two people.

I always feel that the emperor's uncle's answer is irrelevant to the question.

My brother is also weird...

She didn't think any more and knocked on the door:

"Uncle, how are you?"

There was silence inside the door for a moment.

After a moment, Shen Changning came over and opened the door.

There was still an unconcealable melancholy on his face.

Forced smile:

"Are you awake? Have you eaten?"

"No, I'm not hungry yet."

She wanted to wait for Jiang Ci'an to eat together.

After entering, she tilted her head to look at Shen Tingyu who was leaning on the couch.

"Did the emperor take his medicine on time?"

"Well, nothing's wrong."

Shen Tingyu also looked gloomy and not very happy.

Shen Changle didn't ask any more questions and sat down beside the bed to help him take his pulse.

"He is indeed recovering well, but he still needs to stay in bed."

Not everyone has Jiang Ci'an's physique!

Shen Tingyu still persisted.

"I asked the imperial physician, and he said it's okay to rest in the car."

Hearing this, Shen Changning sighed helplessly.

She crossed her arms and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Seeing how persistent he was, Shen Changle tried to persuade him:

"But the carriage conditions are indeed quite harsh. Even though there's a bed to sleep on, it's always bumpy."

"I've calculated that it would take only three days to get from Guangping to the capital, if walking is faster."

This……

Shen Changle blinked.

He looked at Shen Changning inquiringly.

Shen Changning didn't say anything either. The three of them were in a stalemate, and the prefect asked for a meeting.

He leaned over and knelt tremblingly at Shen Changning's feet.

"Your humble servant, I pay my respects to His Majesty..."

Before I even started talking about business, I started shaking all over.

Shen Changning also understood. After all, he was just a minor local official and only went to Beijing to meet the emperor once a year.

Although the incident happened in Guangping City this time, it really wasn't his fault.

He calmed his tone and spoke in a serious tone:

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The prefect stood up, but still did not dare to look up.

He bent over and didn't dare wipe the sweat off his face.

"Your Majesty, regarding the assassination outside the city, I have found some clues."

"Ah."

Shen Changning lifted his robe and sat down, drinking tea by himself.

The prefect hesitated for a long time and did not speak.

Shen Changning raised his eyes and saw him stealing glances at Shen Changle with an embarrassed look on his face.

after all……

Women are not allowed to participate in politics...

He didn't know whether to wait and play again.

Shen Changning saw his concerns and put down the teacup nonchalantly.

"Just say it."

The prefect of Guangping then bowed and obeyed:

"I've found out that although the assassins were acting under the guise of revenge, they were all from the capital..."

"Well, is there anything else?"

When the prefect saw that Shen Changning wasn't even a bit surprised, he knew...

The emperor had already investigated the matter clearly and was just giving him a chance.

In this case, he must seize it with all his strength, right?

He quickly told everything he knew to show his loyalty.

"I also found out that the weapons used by these killers all came from the same source, which means...

They were not hired by anyone, but private soldiers intentionally raised by someone.

But who exactly is so audacious, I still have no idea...

Shen Changning chuckled.

"It's already pretty good... It would be weird if the crime of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan could be discovered so easily."

The prefect finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his praise.

He kept leaning forward and nodding.

"Your Majesty is wise, and it is a blessing for Great Qi."

Shen Changning glanced at him and waved his hand.

"Okay, well done, go down."

"Yes, I'll take my leave..."

The prefect bent down and stepped back.

Shen Changning looked at Shen Tingyu and the others, tilting his head meaningfully.

“Guess who?”

Shen Changle had some guesses in his mind, but did not say anything.

Although she and Shen Changning had no scruples, she did not dare to talk about political affairs in front of Shen Tingyu.

I'm afraid I'll be lectured by the ears again...

Shen Tingyu pondered for a moment and made careful inferences.

"The main forces in the court are the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister, and... me."

He spoke lightly and looked up at Shen Changning casually.

Watch him carefully, trying to catch every expression on his face.

After all, there are rumors in the court...

It is said that his emperor has long been wary of him.

He also wanted to know what he really felt!

Shen Changning was not intimidated either, and looked at him from a distance.

There was a silent confrontation and the atmosphere was frozen to freezing point.

Even Shen Changle didn't dare to breathe...

She unconsciously tightened her handkerchief and looked up at Shen Changning.

Finally, I heard him chuckle and asked half-seriously:

"So it's the Emperor's uncle?"

Shen Tingyu looked away and lowered his head.

Like every previous dispute, first give in:

"Your Majesty, I will never do anything that would harm your Majesty."

"Will it be detrimental to me... or will it be detrimental to the State of Qi?"

Shen Tingyu took a deep breath and his eyelashes trembled.

"all the same."

"Humph……"

Shen Changning sneered, full of sarcasm.

But he no longer dwelled on this issue.

Changle was still here and he didn't want to scare her.

Then he continued:

"Then only the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister remain."

"Yes, but Lu Mingchao is the Queen Mother's only support. He is in the hands of the Emperor, and the Queen Mother will never act rashly."

and so……

Then only the prime minister was left.

But Prime Minister Wen has always been patient.

In his previous life, it was not until the late period that he colluded with Lu Mingchao and revealed his true colors.

Now, why did the fox tail suddenly show up?

Shen Changle was still confused when he heard Shen Changning reveal:

"He is afraid of Yan Zijing."

Shen Changle suddenly realized and looked up to meet Shen Changning's gaze.

She knew that her brother believed her and went to investigate Prime Minister Wen!

and so……

The target of this assassination is neither the emperor's brother nor the emperor's uncle...

But, Yan Zijing?

The little one who was with him...
