He first visited Prince Kang openly, and then Shen Yingruo went to visit Prince Kang. Even if someone suspected that Shen Yingruo had other purposes in her visit, they would not suspect Prince Zhao.
In order to conceal himself and avoid being feared by others, he did not think about her identity as the concubine of the King of Northwest, nor did he think about her identity as the legitimate niece of King Kang. When he was about to die, she would be like everyone else and would want to suck his blood while it was still hot. How unbearable that would make her and how chilling King Kang would be.
This was the man she once loved. As early as when A Niang was imprisoned, she begged him to help her see A Niang. After he flatly refused, Shen Yingruo knew that power and fame were more important to her in his heart.
"County Princess, are we going to the Princess's Mansion to talk to the Princess and the Crown Prince?" the wet nurse asked in a low voice.
In the eyes of the wet nurse, Shen Yingruo was so pitiful. She had lost everything overnight.
"No need. My brother and my elder sister don't like to see me." Shen Yingruo smiled bitterly. "They don't like me, but they don't hate me. They won't feel alienated because I went to see my uncle, nor will they feel good about me because I didn't go to see my uncle."
To them, she was a person who should not exist. Her existence constantly reminded them why they lost their mother. They were not angered by her, which was a sign of their noble character. They would try to be less of an eyesore to them in the future.
Shen Yingruo went to see Prince Kang, but before she left Zongzheng Temple, Shen Xihe and Shen Yun'an knew about it.
Shen Yun'an said indifferently: "After all, she is the legitimate niece of Prince Kang. It's understandable to go and meet her now."
Shen Yun'an was not angry at all about this. He himself had never considered Shen Yingruo as his own family. He thought it was normal for her to be close to her uncle's family, and he did not think that she did not distinguish between relatives and strangers because of this.
Shen Xihe frowned and ordered Mo Yuan: "Go check and see which prince she has close contact with."
"Yoyo, do you think that she went to see Prince Kang not out of blood relationship?" Shen Yun'an frowned.
This made him feel a little disgusted. It was true that King Kang was their enemy, but before his death, his closest relative had been using him to his full potential for the sake of others under the banner of family affection. He had no sympathy for King Kang, but just felt that this man was a little cold-blooded.
"Don't judge rashly." Shen Xihe had no love or dislike for Shen Yingruo, and evaluated her as a stranger, "I don't know whether she went there for profit, I only know that she went to visit at the wrong time."
King Kang had been in prison for a night. The matter could no longer be concealed and everyone knew about it.
If Shen Yingruo was just going to see him off or visit him, she should have gone there early in the morning. You have to know that once he is convicted, it will be impossible for them to visit him. Who knows how long the search and conviction will take
It is almost dusk now, and it seems like he went there because he was asked or reminded by someone. Look, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao went to visit last night.
But after Mo Yuan checked and came back, he felt ashamed: "I am incompetent and have not found out which prince the Second Lady has had close contact with."
Shen Yingruo was Princess Changling's study partner. Princess Changling had no biological brothers. Her mother died early. It was said that her features resembled those of the empress, so Emperor Youning was particularly fond of her.
"It doesn't matter. If he is not well hidden, he is not your Majesty's prince." Shen Xihe was not disappointed. Instead, he smiled softly. "I thought everyone would show off their abilities and expose their ugly faces. I never thought they were all smart people."
