Originally, the matter had been settled at this point and could come to an end.
However, no one expected that His Majesty would lock that man up in the Zongzheng Temple. At night, His Majesty went to the Zongzheng Temple in person, and when he returned to the palace, he secretly summoned the imperial physician.
"Beichen, you are forcing His Majesty." After hearing the news, Shen Xihe turned his head and fixed his eyes on Xiao Huayong.
It was scorching hot in midsummer, but he was wearing a light fur coat and sitting by the stove. The incense charcoal was emitting a red glow, shining on his pale and somewhat transparent face. He seemed even more unreal. Shen Xihe felt a pang in his heart for some reason and turned his eyes away.
"I promised the princess that I would send Princess Shunan back to her mansion safely." Xiao Huayong caught Shen Xihe's gaze and flexed his fingertips, as if he wanted to distance himself from the anger, and subconsciously made a move that made things even more obvious.
Shen Xihe stared at him, her eyes glued to his face. His Majesty was stabbed at this time, not just to create chaos, so that His Majesty would have no time to care about Xiao Wenxi leaving the capital for Southern Shu. He was making more far-reaching plans, but he did not tell her frankly. . .
As if he didn't see the determination in Shen Xihe's eyes to get to the bottom of the matter, Xiao Huayong smiled and said, "Your Majesty will inevitably be suspicious of you regarding the matter of the second elder. We will summon the imperial physician to check on you tomorrow."
This was to make the news of Shen Xihe's pregnancy known to the public. She had been pregnant for three months and the most dangerous period had passed. It was time to make it public. If she continued to conceal it, it would be easy for others to notice and make a fuss about it.
It would be impossible to set up a trap for Xiao Changmin without leaving any traces, so Xiao Huayong simply let everyone know clearly that there was indeed such a person hiding behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation. This did not prevent Xiao Changmin from being unforgivable.
But no matter whether he tried to hide it or let them know openly that there was someone behind the scenes, His Majesty would only suspect the Eastern Palace, maybe Shen Xihe, or maybe Shen Xihe and Xiao Huayong. Suspicion about Shen Xihe was inevitable.
Because there are not many people who can do it and have to take action against Xiao Changmin. Donggong is one of them, Xiao Changqing is one of them, Xiao Changyan is still in Minjiang and his life or death is unknown, Xiao Changzhen does not get involved in anything, and his princess who has some ulterior motives is not as omnipotent as Shen Xihe.
Xiao Changgeng was the only one left, but if Xiao Changgeng wanted to harm Xiao Changmin, Xiao Changmin would not be able to come back alive. There was no need to come back and make trouble again, unless he wanted to kill two birds with one stone and harm Xiao Changmin and put the blame on the East Palace.
This may be possible, but Emperor Youning would not believe it too much.
Shen Xihe: "I am pregnant. Your Majesty may not act rashly, but you will not give up."
She is pregnant, and His Majesty will not take action for minor actions, and there will be no more temptations or minor punishments. This is forcing His Majesty to fight to the death with them.
"Thousands of your Majesty's brave soldiers were killed in the Minjiang River. If not all of them, at least more than half of them. Now your Majesty has been assassinated and poisoned. Your Majesty will not play along with us anymore." The emperor's rage had been burned to its most intense point. The sleeping tiger had its sweet dreams disturbed time and time again, and he would never let it go easily.
"Poisoned!" Shen Xihe knew that the man whose bones were pushed to become His Majesty was a person who harbored hatred for His Majesty. He also knew that Xiao Huayong had given the other party a chance to get close to His Majesty. The success or failure depended on him. However, he did not expect that he could be able to carry a poisonous weapon close to His Majesty!
