"And there's also His Majesty." Shen Xihe added, "We can't let anyone go to His Majesty and tell him that Prince Bu is missing..."
"Your Highness, a report from the Council Hall says that His Majesty has summoned the Crown Prince." Before Shen Xihe could finish his words, Shen Xihe, who had just gone out to deliver the order, turned back.
As expected, His Majesty is determined to kill.
Xuan Zhao Bu Shu Lin, if the person is not there, he must ask, then he can order the killing in the name of looking for someone.
"I'll go take a look..."
"Your Highness, don't pay attention to it." Shen Xihe grabbed his arm, "I have long expected that if no one passes the message to His Majesty, he will definitely summon Prince Bu, so I have sent a maid to find Prince Bu's confidant Jinshan."
Bu Shulin had two personal bodyguards brought from the Shunan army, named Jinshan and Yinshan.
"How are you going to delay His Majesty's summons?" Xiao Huayong was curious. He knew that she was smart, but he was still surprised and shocked.
"I asked Jinshan to find someone who is almost as tall as the prince and pretend to have diarrhea. He should run to the palace and not let the eunuchs see his true face. Even if the imperial physician comes, he should delay the treatment as much as possible." Shen Xihe did not hide it from Xiao Huayong.
"His Majesty is determined to see someone. If we delay for a while like this, he will definitely send Liu Sanzhi. Liu Sanzhi is His Majesty's confidant and he must know that Master Bu is in danger. He will find a way to catch the person you asked to impersonate Master Bu." Xiao Huayong said.
Shen Xihe smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if he catches her. He told Jinshan that the prince was still here. He persuaded the prince to find the imperial physician for treatment. But he didn't know when the prince had someone pretend to be her to avoid Jinshan's urging. The prince has always been afraid of taking medicine, so he must have disappeared. Let's go look for him."
Xiao Huayong smiled and nodded after hearing this: "That's a good idea."
This means that the person did not disappear overnight, but just disappeared to avoid being urged by his confidant to seek medical treatment. Your Majesty cannot send people to search everywhere. Even if there is an emergency, you can only take him around.
There is not much time left, so it will be fine if we delay it for an hour or so.
"Yoyo, are you confident that you can find someone within an hour?" Xiao Huayong was very curious about where Shen Xihe got the confidence from.
"The hunting ground is so large that Zhaoning cannot estimate the size. He has no confidence that he can find the person in one hour." Shen Xihe shook his head, "We can only delay for a while. I am afraid that Master Bu has met with an accident. So I came to seek help from Her Highness. I hope she can return safely."
"Don't worry, she will definitely ignore it." Xiao Huayong comforted Shen Xihe softly.
Shen Xihe nodded with some worry.
Xiao Huayong couldn't bear to see her frown, and wanted to reach out to smooth it for her, but he restrained himself as he moved his hand. He suddenly thought of something: "The matter of Changling... I am not a cold-blooded person."
Shen Xihe was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Xiao Huayong to bring up this matter on his own initiative.
"I know that after you hear it, you will think that I am cruel and heartless and don't care about my brothers..." Xiao Huayong's tone was a little lonely.
Shen Xihe seems cold and doesn't have close friendships with others, but she is a person who values the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. This can be seen from the fact that she never involves Shen Yingruo in the grudges of the previous generation and never makes things difficult for Shen Yingruo. As long as Shen Yingruo continues to be so tactful, if someone bullies her one day, Shen Xihe will stand up for her because her surname is Shen.
She is a person who attaches great importance to family honor and family affection. She must feel uncomfortable with his cruel plot against Changling because she does not understand love. In her opinion, blood relatives should not have any contact with each other, nor should they harm each other.
