Shen Xihe paused, turned around with a calm expression, and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Xiao Changqing's dark eyes locked onto Shen Xihe tightly: "I just want to ask Princess Zhaoning to help me understand why the princess knows that road."
Shen Xihe smiled softly: "Your Highness Prince Xin, when two armies are facing each other, who will disclose the source of their intelligence to the enemy?"
In silence, Xiao Changqing quietly looked at Shen Xihe. Seeing Shen Xihe impatiently picking up his feet and about to leave, he said, "My lord, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know what the fourteenth strategy of the Thirty-Six Strategies is?"
"Resurrection?" Shen Xihe answered without hesitation, and then laughed, a laugh that he felt was absurd, "Your Highness, so this is what you meant, it's really funny. Your Highness, I think you have checked Zhaoning these days, and you should know that Zhaoning never believes in Buddhism, Taoism, or God. A gentleman does not talk about strange things, Your Highness is a man who has read the books of saints and sages, don't give rise to unrealistic delusions because of the grief at the moment."
"Is it an unrealistic fantasy?" Xiao Changqing took two steps forward and approached Shen Xihe, his eyes fixed on her. "I heard that the King of the Northwest has always loved and valued the princess, and he never avoids hiding matters from the princess even when it comes to military matters in the Northwest. Whenever there is a major event, the three of us, father and son, must discuss it.
The princess went to the capital, and the younger brother investigated the rouge case. He encountered many evil spirits along the way. Why was the younger brother saved by the princess? What was the deep meaning behind it? Could the princess really deny it all
For such a major event, would the prince make his own decision without informing the princess? Would he completely disregard the princess's wishes? I don't believe it.
If the princess had known this in her heart, why did she regret it at the last moment? "
He was referring to the fact that Shen Yueshan arranged for Shen Xihe to meet Xiao Changying by chance. This matter is actually very difficult to explain clearly.
Shen Yueshan did not say it explicitly, but he did hint to Shen Xihe that Xiao Changying was the best choice. However, Shen Xihe was ill at that time and knew that he would not live long. He also believed in Shen Yueshan and knew very little about Kyoto, so he acquiesced.
This led to the scene where Xiao Changying bumped into Shen Xihe and was rescued. Shen Xihe did indeed change his mind at the last minute.
If they really just wanted the evidence in Xiao Changying's hand, they could have taken action when Xiao Changying was being hunted. At that time, neither Xiao Changying nor others would be able to judge who did it, after all, it was a time when demons were rampant.
There is no need to waste effort at all, just wait until Xiao Changying falls into Shen Xihe's hands.
In response to this, Shen Xihe remained calm and did not play dumb: "Your Highness, the crime of killing the prince is not a last resort and is not a foolproof plan. How can we act rashly
Compared to taking advantage of the chaos to harm His Royal Highness Prince Lie, and to setting up an enemy for His Royal Highness, His Majesty will investigate thoroughly, and may not be able to obtain evidence of the Rouge case. Obviously, my method is more bloodless and achieves the goal. Your Highness and His Royal Highness Prince Lie will have to suffer this loss, right?"
Her rebuttal was well-reasoned, even logical and watertight, but she was unable to convince Xiao Changqing: "I once sent people to the northwest, and everyone said that the princess was a gentle and tender girl, but this was not the case after the princess came to the capital."
Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Changqing for a moment as if he were a fool, and then he said, "Everyone says that Your Highness Prince Xin is well-versed in history and the present, a gentleman with a gentle manner. May I ask, Your Highness Prince Xin, are you really such a person?"
