Shen Xihe couldn't help but be moved after hearing this. He was always so meticulous and took every aspect into consideration.
"Since I asked you to come back to participate in my brother's wedding, everything was planned by me. I can't let your father-in-law and you suffer any loss because of this." Xiao Huayong held Shen Xihe's hand and said with a smile, "Things have developed to this point. It is no longer an ordinary matter. It is a game between me and your majesty."
From the very beginning, they simply wanted Shen Xihe to witness Shen Yun'an's wedding with their own eyes, and testing whether there was any rebellion in the Northwest was just a side job. However, they did not expect that the situation would keep changing step by step until now, forcing them to resort to war to end it.
Shen Xihe looked down at their touching fingertips and held his hand in return: "I heard that the Turks are in civil strife. Although they have temporarily reconciled because of my father, they may not easily send troops to launch a surprise attack."
"The Turks will definitely send troops." Xiao Huayong raised the corners of his lips, and there was a silver glow in his eyes, with a light of confidence and determination that was dazzling.
"What has your highness done again?" Shen Xihe asked curiously.
Xiao Huayong smiled, and his whole body seemed to be emitting a dazzling light: "I didn't do anything. I came here, and naturally someone helped me achieve my wish."
"who?"
"Old Four."
Xiao Changtai and Shen Xihe were a little surprised.
"Xiao Changtai hates me to the core. It was difficult for him to take action when I was in Kyoto. Now that I have come to the northwest, how could he miss this opportunity?" Xiao Huayong raised his eyebrows and said, "When he was in the imperial mausoleum, I gave him a small picture album, which showed how Munuha died miserably.
He had worked with Munuha before, so he might have some tokens of Munuha in his hand. He only needed to hand them over to the Turkic king's court. Would the Turkic king be able to bear this? Even if the Turkic king could bear it, he would find ways to make it impossible for him to bear it. "
Xiao Changtai wanted to attack him, but with his current ability and the fact that he had suffered so many losses at his hands, he would never dare to act rashly. However, he could not bear to miss the opportunity. The best way was to take advantage of the "news of Shen Yueshan's death" to start a war, disrupt the entire Northwest Royal City, and take advantage of the chaos to attack him.
Not only can he hide himself, but he also has the greatest chance of getting away with it, making the death of the Crown Prince confusing.
Now that the Crown Prince is dead, the ambitions of various forces in Kyoto can be revealed appropriately. In order to seize the position of crown prince, they will certainly use all their abilities. He can hide in the dark and watch from the sidelines, fishing in troubled waters.
Those who were expelled from their clan by Emperor Youning naturally could not ascend to the throne again, but their youngest brother was just learning to speak. As long as there was no one in the dynasty, he could control this younger brother and be the one who truly held power behind the scenes.
"He really won't give up." Shen Xihe couldn't help but sigh.
People like Xiao Changtai have vitality like green grass. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will try his best and do everything possible to move towards his goal until the last moment of his life.
He will never give up until he achieves his goal, which is very similar to Your Majesty.
"People should not have obsessions. Once they have obsessions with people or things, they will easily become obsessed and unable to extricate themselves. For the fourth brother, the emperor is his obsession." Xiao Huayong said with his eyelids slightly lowered, staring deeply at Shen Xihe, "And you, are my obsession."
