After thinking about it, Shen Jingci said with a brave face, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
In the past, she only wanted to look like this if she had some means or ideas. Xiao Junhan has been working with her for so long, why doesn't he understand? He immediately dismissed everyone in the room and asked, "What's wrong? He looked so solemn."
As he spoke, he walked to the nanmu chair and sat down, holding a cup of tea.
He only took a sip and then frowned, "This guy is so careless in doing things. Why did he use such tea?"
Hearing this, Shen Jingci had a bitter look on her face and said softly, "These people are the best at flattering others and suppressing others. Of course the prince doesn't know that. I have not been favored for a long time, so in their eyes, I only deserve to drink this kind of tea."
Xiao Junhan's expression froze when she said that, and he immediately said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice in this matter. You are my concubine, and no one can wrong you."
Shen Jingci did not comment, she just nodded, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "My lord, you haven't killed someone personally for a long time, right?"
"kill?"
Xiao Junhan's heart suddenly rose, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you mean?"
Shen Jingci smiled, with a calculating light flashing in her eyes, "Oh, no, a few days ago, didn't you just kill an old nanny with your own hands? It's a pity that this nanny has kept a secret her whole life. In the end, It’s still hard to escape.”
After she said this, Xiao Junhan's expression suddenly changed, "How do you know?"
"Why can't I know? Prince, please don't forget that there is no airtight wall in the world!"
Xiao Junhan stood up excitedly and said with a sullen face, "Shen Jingci, are you threatening me?"
He didn't expect that Shen Jingci would threaten him one day! He knew Shen Jingci's temper very well, and the person who said this today must have some agenda.
"How could it be a threat?"
Shen Jingci chuckled lightly, with a hint of coldness in her words, "I am just reminding the prince. After all, my Shen family was also involved in this matter back then. The crime of murdering the emperor's heir is not a small crime. Although the prince has now killed the last witness, you still have to be careful."
What she said was extremely clear. Xiao Junhan immediately strangled her neck and said in a deep voice, "Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
"Kill me? Didn't the prince threaten grandpa like this when he was in the prison?"
Xiao Junhan was really angry, and he tightened his grip on her neck. Shen Jingci was a little breathless at the moment, but she forced herself to say these words.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Junhan's hand immediately let go, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Yes, the old man of the Shen family was able to lay hidden stakes in the prison, but there is no guarantee that Shen Jingci will not do the same now! That matter was indeed a big worry for him. He had always known that his father was partial. Now the fight between him and Xiao Junxi has reached a critical moment. If it is revealed that Concubine Xian colluded with Miao Jiang to poison Xiao Junxi, then the balance of the father's favor will completely tilt towards Xiao Junxi!
As for him, his biological mother first poisoned the Empress Dowager and then murdered the emperor's heir. How could a child born from such a woman be any better
Unexpectedly, Shen Jingci suddenly shed a line of tears at this moment, and said sadly, "Don't you know what I want to do? I'm just afraid that you will abandon me! Your Majesty, how much I love you, don't you Not sure?"
Xiao Junhan had seen her like this many times, and still asked with a vigilant look, "What do you want to do?"
Shen Jingci slowly exhaled a breath and said with a hopeful look on her face, "I just want to ask the prince to promise me something."
"what's up?"
"Never let me down."
After hearing her say these words one by one, Xiao Junhan's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, held her in his arms, and murmured, "How could I let you down?"
You are just a pawn of my king. You have never been favored, so how can you live up to it
Shen Jingci didn't know what he was thinking, but she could tell that there wasn't much sincerity in his words. Also, Xiao Junhan has always regarded women as playthings, so how could he ever be so sincere
However, even if it was just his explicit show of kindness, it would be enough.
Shen Jingci raised her head in his arms and said with a bright face, "Your Majesty, as long as you don't let me down, I will do my best to wish you success!"
Now that Xiao Junhan has Murong Wan, it is like adding wings to a tiger. But after all, Murong Wan was from the Great Food Country, and the forces in the capital were all hidden thorns of the Great Food Country, and they might not come in handy at the critical moment.
But Shen Jingci is different. She has a lot of property and has secret guards of the Shen family. If one day, Xiao Junhan is forced into desperation, the one who can really help him is Shen Jingci.
In other words, Murong Wan was his apparent help, allowing him to rise to the top in a legitimate way.
But if this doesn't work on the surface, then Shen Jingci will have to do it!
Xiao Junhan can still figure out what's going on here, not to mention that Shen Jingci still has his heir in her belly.
As he thought about it, Xiao Junhan's arms around her became a little more sincere. He lowered his head and said, "Silly Ci'er, is it because the King of Japan has been so cold to you these days that you have such wild thoughts?"
With that said, he did not wait for Shen Jingci's explanation, but instead sighed, "You also know that the princess is the princess of the Dashi Kingdom after all, and I am now helpless. I know that I owe you too much, Don’t worry, when I become the master of this world, I will definitely give you justice!”
Xiao Junhan's words were somewhat true and false, but Shen Jingci didn't know. But Shen Jingci knew that since he could say this today, she would not be too sad in the future in the palace.
The room was full of tenderness and sweetness, but outside the room, Shi Mo bit his hands tightly to keep himself silent.
What did she just hear? Conspiracy to kill the emperor's heir!
It turns out that this is where the master’s poison comes from!
The night wind was getting stronger, and a fast horse galloped past, finally stopping at the back door of Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Open the door quickly!"
The woman outside banged the door, and the old man inside hurried over and said, "It's coming, it's coming, don't rush it!"
But when the red-lacquered door opened with a creak, the old man was stunned when he saw the figure outside, "Why are you here at this time?"
Shi Mo took a breath, handed the riding whip to the old man, and said, "I have something urgent to report. I'd like to bother Uncle Li."
After saying this, Shi Mo hurriedly ran into Prince Jing's Mansion.
She went to the main courtyard with ease, and when she saw the lights inside, she immediately tied her veil and made a secret signal outside.
Not long after, several maids came out and walked out of the yard.
Shi Mo hid in the dark and stood up after seeing the maids and women leaving.
Jiang Zhu came out, took a look at her outfit, and said, "Come in."
Xie Ruzhuo was already waiting in the room. She was very familiar with the whistle just now, so she immediately sent the maids and women out, leaving only Jiangzhu Qianbi.
"What brings you here?"
Upon hearing Xie Ruzhuo's question, Shi Mo's face was still covered with veil, he just kowtowed and said, "I have something important to report, master."
Xie Ruzhuo frowned and said, "He's not here. If you have anything, tell me."
Shi Mo bit his lip and looked around hesitantly. After receiving Xie Ruzhuo's nod, he opened his mouth and recounted everything he heard tonight.
"What did you say?"
With a bang, the tea cup in Xie Ruzhuo's hand fell to the ground, and the tea splashed all over her body, but she didn't care at all. She just stood up and said in silence, "The person who murdered Jun Xi back then was actually yes-"
No wonder Xiao Junhan went to kill an old nanny from Yeting for no reason. It turned out that there was such an inside story! What a Xiao Junhan, what a virtuous concubine, what a Shen Jingci!
Xie Ruzhuo's hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes almost wanted to burst into flames. Concubine Xian's death was too easy, and the Shen family's demise was too easy for them!
In this case, let's forget all these old and new grudges to the next generation! Xiao Junhan and Shen Jingci, it’s your turn to pay for these sins!
"You go back first, I have my own opinion on this matter." After a long time, Xie Ruzhuo regained his sense from his anger, sat back on the chair again, and said this.
Seeing Shi Mo nodding, Xie Ruzhuo added, "Be careful."
Hearing this, Shi Mo's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw the concern on Xie Ruzhuo's face, and suddenly he understood why his master had a soft spot for her.
Although this woman seems to have vicious methods, she has the kindest heart towards the people around her.
If there weren't these constant attempts to harm her, it's conceivable that she should have been the most innocent and kind-hearted girl in the world.
Being able to not lose herself in hatred and keep her true heart is probably why the master chose her.
"My subordinates resign."
After saying this, Shi Mo turned around and left.
From beginning to end, her veil was never taken off. There may not be peace in Prince Jing's Mansion, so it's better to be careful in everything.
Xie Ruzhuo sat on the chair for a long time and then asked, "Where is the prince?"
Jiang Zhu carefully glanced at her face, wanting to comfort her, she might as well ask this, and quickly replied, "The prince is still in the study."
After hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the study, you don't have to follow me." Then he walked out of the yard.
Zixiao was still guarding outside the study. When he saw Xie Ruzhuo, he was about to speak when she heard her say, "I have something to talk to the prince about, so you can guard outside."
Before Zi Xiao could say anything, he saw Xie Ruzhuo entering the study. He swallowed back the words he wanted to say.
Also, at this time, the only one who can accompany the prince is the princess.
There was an oil lamp burning in the room, and the flames flickered in the gauze cover from time to time, making the light in the room dim.
There is a man sitting behind the desk. His slender fingers are holding a pen and splashing ink, but the words on it are a bit messy.
The words displayed on the rice paper reflected his state of mind at the moment.
When Xie Ruzhuo came in, this was what he saw.
Xiao Junxi's face was expressionless at this moment, but she could really feel the instability of his mood at this moment.
In an instant, she understood.
He got it.
Xiao Junxi probably already knew what Shi Mo came to tell her tonight.
Otherwise, he would not have locked himself in the study all afternoon.
Xiao Junxi raised her head at this moment. When she saw it was her, she smiled slightly, put down the pen in her hand, and said softly, "Why are Zhuo'er here?"
Xie Ruzhuo walked forward without saying a word, and then hugged him when he was a little surprised.
