Princess Anling's throat was burning with pain. She looked at the handsome young man Lang with a distorted face, spewing black blood and falling in front of her. She would say that Shen Xihe had harmed her until her death, but Meng Chang did not know Mo Yuan. She had seen Mo Yuan before, and Mo Yuan was the leader of Shen Xihe's guards.
If Shen Xihe had ordered Meng Chang to kill her, why did Mo Yuan come to save her? To make her grateful to her? Although Princess Anling did not admit it, she knew in her heart that Shen Xihe did not need her gratitude, nor was she afraid that she would doubt her.
At this time, Zhao Zhenghao had already started searching outside the house. He and Mo Yuan actually noticed something was wrong at the same time, but when he saw Mo Yuan rushing in, he immediately looked around to see if there was anyone lurking, but found that there was no one.
Mo Yuan handed Princess Anling over to Zhao Zhenghao. Although Princess Anling did not seem to believe Meng Chang's words, Mo Yuan felt that Princess Anling should trust Zhao Zhenghao sent by His Majesty more. He went to the Dali Temple to find Cui Jinbai to investigate the scene.
"It's still a step too late." Shen Xihe couldn't help but sigh after receiving the news. She thought she could catch the person this time, but she didn't expect that the other party acted according to her plan, but did not expose himself as she expected.
She was impressed by his extreme caution.
"All this effort was wasted." Bu Shulin felt a little regretful.
"It's not in vain." Shen Xihe was optimistic. "I did this to lure the snake out of its hole, but there are other reasons. I wanted His Majesty to stop suspecting me about the deaths of Princess Changling and Princess Yangling, and to prove that someone behind the scenes used the princesses to murder me. After this incident, Princess Anling will also be alert and will not be used by others to become my enemy in the future. There is also Princess Pingling who has never been touched by him."
"I'm afraid he doesn't dare to extend his hand to Princess Pingling." Bu Shulin said.
Princess Pingling has a mother who takes care of the harem, and two brothers who are both talented in literature and martial arts. If you were to ask your Majesty which princess is the happiest among her princesses, it would definitely be Princess Pingling, who is like a real princess.
"Are you planning to just let this matter go?" Bu Shulin asked again.
Shen Xihe was trimming her Pingzhong leaf bonsai that had sprouted new buds: "Mengchang, my people, the Crown Prince's people, and His Majesty's people are all investigating. I think since he chose Mengchang, he is ready to retreat unscathed. Nothing can be found if we follow Mengchang."
Bu Shulin was amazed after hearing this: "How on earth did you offend such a powerful opponent?"
As he spoke, he stroked his chin and thought, "There aren't many people who can do this. It's just the princes. Even the queens in the deep palace may not have this ability. Who do you think it is?"
Shen Xihe also guessed that it might be a prince: "How about King Zhao?"
"Why would he want to harm you?" Bu Shulin felt that none of the princes were actually suspicious.
Only His Royal Highness Prince Lie and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were interested in Shen Xihe, and Xiao Changying was not the kind of person who would turn love into hatred and use such despicable means. Moreover, he had attacked Shen Xihe long before the marriage was granted, which meant that it was unlikely to be Xiao Changying.
"He wants to marry the second wife of the Shen family." After screening, Shen Xihe felt that only King Zhao Xiao Changmin had this motive.
"That's a reasonable reason." Bu Shulin nodded.
"This time I sent people to keep an eye on King Zhao's every move, but it's not like him." While luring the enemy, Shen Xihe focused on her suspected object. The enemy did take action, but he was not the same person she guessed. She didn't know whether it was her oversight, King Zhao's ability to hide was very strong, or she was indeed suspicious in the wrong direction.
