Ye Wantang is gentle, quiet, well-educated and sensible, but she encountered a disaster like Xiao Changtai. They have true feelings for each other, but what they want is very different. Ye Wantang wants peace and success, while Xiao Changtai wants to rule the world.
If she had met Xiao Changyu, she would have lived a happy and wealthy life, and lived happily together until old age.
"Princess, will Xiao Changtai really come?" Biyu couldn't help but ask after getting on the carriage.
Xiao Changtai was seriously injured, and it has been less than a month. I am afraid that his injuries have not yet recovered, and many people know that he faked his death. I am afraid that His Majesty knows about it, so he will directly expel him from the clan.
Kyoto was undoubtedly a dangerous place for Xiao Changtai.
"No, no one in Kyoto wants his life except me." Shen Xihe chuckled, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Your Majesty may not really believe that Xiao Changtai was responsible for the witchcraft incident. Severe punishment is just because there is no way to trace it further, so we have to use thundering means to deter. Otherwise, no one will take it seriously and curse Your Majesty at the slightest dissatisfaction. Wouldn't this world be in chaos
As for the other princes, Xiao Changtai has been expelled from the clan and is charged with the crime of using witchcraft against His Majesty. He will never be able to come back to life again in this life, otherwise he will be sentenced to death. He no longer poses a threat to the other princes.
Besides, they are brothers after all. If we really want to kill them all, we must not let Your Majesty know about it. Otherwise, what will Your Majesty think?"
How could Your Majesty not be on guard against such a cold-blooded and cruel son
"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhenzhu also asked. She had never understood why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not pursue Xiao Changtai anymore.
"The Crown Prince is being watched by His Majesty now. Xiao Changtai has no weaknesses now. If he were to risk his life, he would have to die with the Crown Prince. He might not be able to kill the Crown Prince, but at least he would be seriously injured. The Crown Prince would not use jade to touch rubble."
Shen Xihe paused, not knowing what he was thinking about, and the corners of his lips slightly raised: "With his personality, he no longer takes Xiao Changtai seriously. It's not worth his energy to waste."
The reason why Shen Xihe wanted to take Xiao Changtai's life was because she did not have the confidence and concerns of Xiao Huayong, and because Xiao Changtai was too stubborn and despicable. If she did not really put him to death, Xiao Huayong would have a mortal enemy with him, and he would definitely not let it go.
"Princess..." Zhenzhu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Princess, if you give the token to Ye, aren't you afraid that she will help Xiao Changtai in the future and use it to set a trap for you?"
"Your concerns are not impossible, but they are extremely unlikely." Shen Xihe had naturally thought about it. "By then, we only need to know what Xiao Changtai did to determine whether she was completely bewitched by Xiao Changtai and chose to conspire with him."
Although she seemed to have seen their future based on her understanding of Ye Wantang and Xiao Changtai's character control, people would change because of some accidents. For example, after Ye Wantang left with Xiao Changtai this time, if they had a child, the identity of being a mother might change Ye Wantang.
There are too many uncontrollable factors in the future, but Shen Xihe still took this step because the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Since he can't catch Xiao Changtai now, he plants a thorn in Ye Wantang's heart. It depends on whether this thorn will continue to hurt her or be gently pulled out by Xiao Changtai. Shen Xihe is betting on the former.
