After Shen Xihe heard this, her eyes narrowed. Something flashed through her mind, and she stood up suddenly: "Mo Yuan!"
The sudden shout startled everyone. Mo Yuan rushed in even faster. Before he even got to Shen Xihe, he had already quickly scanned the surroundings: "Princess, what's the matter?"
"Send someone... You personally take someone to the Shen residence to see if the Second Madam is there!" Shen Xihe ordered solemnly.
Xiao Huayong also reacted and realized that the second brother had been coveting the second lady of the Shen family for a long time. If the fourth brother kidnapped Shen Yingruo and threatened the second brother, he could not only get the second brother's help, but also restrain Shen Xihe.
He was careless. Shen Xihe had never been close to Shen Yingruo, and he almost forgot about the existence of Shen Yingruo.
Mo Yuan received the order and led his men to the gate of the Princess's Mansion when a person stumbled over. It was Shen Yingruo's wet nurse, Tan. When Tan saw Mo Yuan, she rushed over and grabbed Mo Yuan's arm, then knelt down with a thud: "General Mo, the second lady has been kidnapped..."
Shen Yingruo is in the Shen Mansion, which is also heavily guarded. It has the same garrison standards as a royal palace and is located under the feet of the emperor. Except for someone as daring as Xiao Changtai, no one dares to go to the Shen Mansion easily.
Since Princess Changling passed away, Shen Yingruo has been living in seclusion. She is in mourning for her mother, and unless she has to attend a necessary banquet or occasionally go out to relax, she basically stays in the Shen Mansion. Today, someone broke into her boudoir and kidnapped her. She never thought that such a thing would happen in the palace.
A quarter of an hour ago, Xiao Changtai came to Prince Zhao's mansion, dressed in coarse cloth and disguised as a man delivering firewood. Through the steward, he concealed himself from the eyes of other people in Prince Zhao's mansion and met Prince Zhao Xiao Changmin.
"Fourth brother, you are so brave that you secretly escaped from the imperial mausoleum and returned to Kyoto. If His Majesty knew about this, even if you are a prince, your life would be in danger."
Xiao Changtai took off his bamboo hat and said, "Second brother, if my life is in danger today, I will just go to the underworld and wait for you, second brother."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Changmin's face darkened.
"I was forced to come to the capital today. My wife fell into the hands of our good seventh brother." Xiao Changtai exposed Xiao Huayong to Xiao Changmin, "Second brother, are you still like me, foolishly looking forward to our crown prince's death?"
With a light mocking smile, Xiao Changtai continued, "Don't hope for it. If you don't see his true face clearly, you may not even know how you died. Second brother, why not think about it, how much has the capital changed in the past year since he returned from the Taoist temple
How many forces have changed in the court? In one year, the leaders of the six ministries have been replaced, and the three provinces, except for the Shangshu Ling Cui Zheng, have also been replaced. This is still a national treasure, and the other official positions are probably countless.
We are fighting openly and secretly, but he is just sitting there watching the monkeys being played. Maybe you and I are the monkeys he plays with."
Xiao Changmin was not surprised at all, he had thought about all these, especially when Munuha said in front of His Majesty that he had seen the skilled Xiao Huayong, he had never let his guard down against Xiao Huayong. However, Xiao Huayong was the crown prince, who would dare to attack him easily
What is the difference between murdering the crown prince and treason? Who wants to make wedding clothes for others? Pulling down the crown prince at the expense of oneself and benefiting others
