"There is one more thing." After Xiao Huayong's reminder, Shen Xihe also thought of an unreasonable point, "His Royal Highness Prince Xin sent people to blow up the imperial mausoleum. Logically, the Fourth Prince should be guarding the imperial mausoleum. He was forced to dormant again because of Prince Xin. He should hate Prince Xin very much.
Either he would not let Prince Xin succeed, or if he did, he would have to find something to hold against Prince Xin. But he did not expose Prince Xin at this point, and there is only one reason that can reasonably explain it. "
Xiao Changzhen was not in the imperial mausoleum that day!
The fact that Xiao Changzhen dared to turn himself into a commoner and hide in the imperial mausoleum to plan without fear was enough to show that he was fully confident. In this way, he would not be able to let Prince Xin succeed.
He was the mastermind behind the tomb robbery. He knew that Bu Shulin had gone to Henan Prefecture, and Shen Xihe had exposed it in Linchuan County. The truth could not be hidden, and he had to deal with it quickly, so he left the imperial mausoleum secretly to deal with it. This allowed Prince Xin to succeed, while he did not get any evidence at all.
Therefore, it is still possible that Cui Jinbai was a man of King Jing Xiao Changyan, and the tomb robbery and profiteering was done by the fourth prince Xiao Changtai.
"Your Highness has praised Prince Jing a lot. Do you appreciate each other?" Shen Xihe asked again.
"How can I and him sympathize with each other?" Xiao Huayong chuckled and shook his head, "We don't share the same suffering, so how can we sympathize with each other? I praise him, but I am just talking about the facts... Eighth brother is the person that His Majesty is optimistic about to succeed the throne of the Eastern Palace."
Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to command his own troops in Annan for so many years, allowing him to escape from the circle of right and wrong in the capital early.
The fact that he has no business in the capital makes Your Majesty feel more at ease. When Your Majesty's centenary passes, I will hand over all my connections to him, and there is no fear that he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne.
So that's how it is. Shen Xihe sighed in his heart. In His Majesty's mind, Xiao Huayong was destined to die young, so everything had been arranged early.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is also going to be crowned," Shen Xihe suddenly said, "What kind of princess will Your Majesty choose for him?"
Xiao Huayong was extremely sensitive to this, fearing that Shen Xihe had developed feelings for Xiao Changyan. He looked at Shen Xihe carefully for a while, and when he was sure that she was just asking casually, he relaxed his expression, "He will be crowned next year. Your Majesty will not arrange a marriage for him in the next two years. The Cui family has a little daughter who is the granddaughter of the Minister of the Chancellery. She is only twelve years old."
It would be better to arrange a marriage for Xiao Changyan in two years, so that the Cui family will be tied to Xiao Changyan.
"Your Majesty has good intentions towards His Royal Highness Prince Jing." Shen Xihe felt that she needed to send someone to Annan to infiltrate His Royal Highness Prince Jing's side as soon as possible, but it was difficult to choose the right person.
Xiao Huayong smiled and said nothing more. Shen Xihe also promised Shen Yueshan that she would not stay in the East Palace for more than half an hour. Counting the time to say goodbye, Xiao Huayong personally escorted her out of the East Palace. Looking at the falling snow, he surprisingly shouted before Shen Xihe stepped down the stairs: "Yo Yo."
White snow, red plums, gentle breeze, she slowly turned her head, her clear eyes revealing the moisture and doubt of a elk, and she looked into Xiao Huayong's heart with a wet glance.
The calm, gentle, and kind look in his eyes made Xiao Huayong dare not say the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He took a deep breath secretly: "If I hide something from you, will you be angry with me?"
Shen Xihe was silent for a moment before smiling.
