"Your Highness, you want me to plead for Zhao?" Yingshu's expression was very solemn.

In the court, no one was chasing the prince to impeach Yu Luan for his crimes. Sikong Beichen seemed to have fought a good counterattack, but Yingshu knew in her heart that His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat shaken by the prince's "talent". ——The Rebellion is a heartache for His Majesty, and Sikong Beichen is responsible for the handling of Yu Luan's case this time. This is a great loss of kindness to the brothers. It will more or less disappoint His Majesty and give rise to more worries.

Yingshu had no intention of getting involved in this matter anymore. Her strategy was to give up as soon as she was ready. Who would have thought that Sikong Beichen would beg in front of her.

"I won't hide it from you. I still want to find out who is behind the scenes, but I know that my father will not allow me to go further. If Zhao is executed, I will feel uneasy, but if I hide it from my father and do not execute Zhao, It is inevitable that he will teach others how to handle him."

"In other words, I can't tell Uncle what His Highness's true thoughts are, and I can only find another excuse to let Uncle spare Zhao's life?"

"Is it too difficult for you?"

Yingshu nodded without hesitation.

However, she still agreed to give the prince a try.

Sikong Tong's mood gradually improved in the past two days, because at the court meeting, the governor who would be stationed in Yizhou was finally agreed upon. Xie Jin made great contributions to this. He was elected and appointed, and there was also good news that the court officials did not know.

Yuehu sent a secret report that Beiqi Xizuo, whose pseudonym was Wu Ending, had been arrested and killed.

Si Qi said that in his previous life, the Lord of Shenyuan Palace was not robbed or killed by barbarian enemies, but in this life, Yuehu found out that those who pursued and killed Lord of Shenyuan Palace were dead soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The strange thing is that the Northern Qi Dynasty did not send troops to help the Northern Qi Dynasty. Zhao influenced Yizhou to successfully regain Dongyu. Sikong Tong discussed with Baichuanjun, and he trusted Baichuanjun's speculation.

There are also reborn people in Northern Qi.

But this reborn man has not yet won the trust of the Northern Qi monarch. Although he realizes that the Lord of Shenyuan Palace cannot be welcomed back by Dongyu, he cannot give advice to the Northern Qi monarch, so he has to secretly send a dead man to act. However, the matter fails. This person He would definitely not be willing to give in. In order to achieve his political ambitions, he secretly sneaked into Dongyu and continued to think of ways to assassinate the Lord of Shenyuan Palace. I am afraid there is a bigger plot.

There is no need to arrest and torture them carefully. It is the best policy to eliminate the hidden dangers by eradicating them.

But Sikongtong was worried about anyone he handed over such a confidential matter, not because he couldn't trust it, but because he had some objective concerns - Mr. Baichuan could observe the sky, predict the weather, and even predict natural disasters, but after all, he was only a scribe, and Assassins have never been cultivated, and Baichuan Jun cannot be directly asked to carry out such assassination tasks; the Bright Guard commanded by Wang Fei has many experts, but Sikong Tong does not want more people to know about the reborn person. After all, Wang Fei It's just Wang Lan's clan brother, Wang Lan's biological brother Wang Zhi, who is indeed a criminal in rebellion; not to mention the prince, he is obviously a reborn person, but he deliberately conceals it, and even his own father refuses to trust him. , not to mention that there are too many people paying attention to the prince, and giving this task to the prince is very likely to leak the secret.

Sikong Tong had no choice but to secretly order Yuehu to act.

First of all, Yuehu knew that Xizuo had sneaked into Dongyu. Secondly, Yuehu was in Yizhou, so his actions would not trigger the vigilance of many Jiankang party camps. Thirdly... Yuehu was originally the mainstay of the auxiliary country chosen by Sikong Tong. , especially this time Yuehu was able to successfully recapture Yizhou and severely dampened the spirit of Northern Zhao, making Sikong Tong feel more and more that his vision was right.

Yuehu is a wise general of the Sikong family, and his talents are far superior to the prince's. If Yuehu were the legitimate son, Sikong Tong felt that he would not be depressed and upset even if he died immediately. But it is a pity that Yuehu is not the legitimate son, and there is no Xie from Chen Jun. , Changping Zheng and other maternal clans.

The personnel in Yizhou have been decided, and Yuehu can finally return to the court. He is undoubtedly the son that Sikong Tong misses the most. For this reason, Sikongtong doesn't even want to see Jian Bin again. He is worried that he cares too much for Jian Bin's mother and son. It will be self-defeating.

Yingshu saw that the spring breeze seemed to gather between His Majesty's brows, and she was no longer afraid of spoiling the scenery.

"Mr. Zhao is indeed not going to die." She said with a smile.

"kindness?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to intercede for Zhao."

Sikong Tong chuckled: "It seems that the prince really can't let go."

"Uncle, I think the prince is right this time."

"What benefits has the prince given you?"

"Aside from sweet words, the prince has never given me any benefits. When Abo asked me like this, I felt wronged."

Sikong Tong shook his head and stopped smiling: "Emperor Xiu, the prince is the future king, and he frankly told my father that what he really admires is you, and he hopes that I will make it happen. Now I ask you, do you intend to become the prince?" Liangdi?"

Yingshu also suppressed her smile, bowed, and then responded: "What I want to say is that since entering the palace, life, death, and marriage are all out of my control, but I know that Abo will not agree with this, and Abo will not be concerned about marriage. If Abo really lets his son choose a son-in-law, he will abandon the prince."

"Why?"

"The prince was not sincere. He said to the public that he would not marry someone other than Lu Sanniang. But when the prince of Shenyuan Palace returns to the court, the prince also said that for the sake of the country and the country, he could not just care about personal affairs and openly agreed to marry the prince of the palace. But in fact, these statements are all high-sounding. When Lu Sanniang was wronged, the prince knew the truth but refused to defend Lu Sanniang. It is not that he cannot understand the principle of the prince as the prince and not to put the personal relationship of his children first, but he also has no idea at all. If you don’t believe His Highness the Crown Prince’s words of admiration for me, how can I be a good couple since I am suspicious of the Crown Prince? They will most likely become resentful couples, and rather than being resentful couples, they are better off as monarchs and ministers.”

"It's really the attitude of a little daughter. According to me, the prince is more sincere to you than to anyone else."

Yingshu:......

"What? You have nothing to say?"

"Abo said this, but he didn't dare to refute. He said a lot."

"Girl, when have you ever been afraid of me?" Sikong Tong had the word "Chuan" written between his eyebrows. As a monarch, his power was limited to begin with. Even if he put on all the airs, he might not be able to even his own sons. To really frighten me, this girl Di Xiu actually said that she didn’t dare to refute?

"I wasn't afraid in the past, but now, after all, this is the history of Chinese women. You must first be afraid before you can fulfill your responsibilities."

Sikong Tong:……

Okay, now he is speechless.

"If His Highness the Crown Prince was really sincere towards me, he wouldn't take advantage of me again and again." Ying Shu blinked her eyes and said innocently, "Uncle, I don't actually know His Highness the Prince well and have only had a little contact with Him. It is unreasonable and unfounded to make unreasonable comments, but I really don’t believe that His Highness the Crown Prince is moved by me. Because of these words, I have been subjected to a lot of calculations. I really don’t dare to offend the Crown Prince. Otherwise, I should tell the truth to the Crown Prince. , I beg the prince to admire me in a different way."

Sikong Tong wanted to glare at first, but then he realized that Ying Shu's words were not the complaints of his willful little daughter.

When a man truly loves a woman, he will never push the person he admires to the forefront, let the person he loves endure endless accusations and criticisms, and endure the bad words that can make gold burn to pieces. Both the prince and Nanji said they admire Yingshu, But the two men behaved completely differently.

The prince first revealed the matter to the queen, which caused the Liu and Zheng daughters to regard Yingshu as a thorn in his side. The prince dragged Yingshu into the same situation as him, forcing Yingshu to walk on thin ice; Nanci only treated Fei If Ying Shu doesn't marry, he can confess his love directly to his father, and his love will hardly cause Ying Shu any trouble.

Although the girl is young, her feelings are not shallow.

Sikong Tong laughed it off for the time being: "Then you still speak for the prince?"

"You have something to say." Yingshu also smiled: "Abo also knows that Yu Lingcheng's case is actually closely related to Changping Zheng. His Highness the Crown Prince is not putting the blame on others, but he is just considering the matter out of consideration. Abo has high hopes for the Crown Prince. The higher the rank, the stricter the requirements, but for the prince, he cannot ignore the fact that someone intends to harm him and his descendants."

But the prince took advantage of Ying Shu's mouth.

Unknowingly, a layer of bitterness arose in Sikong Tong's heart. Even Ying Shu could understand his concerns. He had high hopes for his eldest son, who was entrusted with the country. Why did even his father, the emperor, have to be on guard, but instead became even more cautious? The person who believed it was Yingshu... Is it really better to sleep together next to each other if we are related by flesh and blood?

"There are too many doubts about Mrs. Zhao. No one would be willing to be a knife or dagger in the hands of others. If the motive is not money, it must be love and hatred." Ying Shu stopped talking.

Sikong Tong knew it well.

"Di Xiu, why do you think the Zhao family hates the prince?"

"I don't know." Ying Shu also told the truth: "In theory, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his descendants, and the Zhao family would have never interacted with each other before the incident. Why did the Zhao family risk their lives and be driven by others? This really puzzles the son. It’s hard to understand, but there may be love that arises out of nowhere in the world, but there is no mortal enemy that is born out of thin air. If we trace Zhao’s origin, we should find something.”

"There is nothing strange about Zhao's origin." Sikong Tong said with certainty: "She is also pitiful. Before she was born, her father was killed by bandits. When she was still young, her widowed mother also died of illness. At that time, she and her widowed mother They depended on each other for life and had no other relatives to take care of them. Therefore, after the widowed mother died of illness, the Zhao family had no choice but to sell herself to bury her mother."

"Uncle, during those few years, how could orphans and widowed mothers survive in Jiankang City without the care of relatives and friends?"

Sikong Tong was stunned by Ying Shu's question.

"Among my slaves, Dan Ying also lost her father at a young age. Before her father died of illness, he sold her to Yahang, but he did not accept any money for selling her body. He only begged Yaren to resell Danying to a reliable house. Danying's biological mother was still alive at that time, but Danying's father knew in his heart that if he died of illness, a widowed mother and an orphan would not be able to survive in the world. Therefore, Danying's father reluctantly sold his daughter into slavery and told his wife, If he died of illness, his wife could remarry, but Danying's mother was also seriously ill at that time. Instead, she passed away before Danying's father. My mother-in-law said that Danying's father went to the hospital to bury his wife. , Ya Xing ignored it, but my Fu mother happened to hear about it and informed A Niang, so A Niang received the money. Unfortunately, Dan Ying's father died of illness not long after."

Sikong Tong's face turned red and he was silent for a long time.

He is the king of a country, and he should know the sufferings of the people, but he subconsciously ignores the tragic reality that orphans and widowed mothers cannot survive in the world. He prefers to believe that in the rich south of the Yangtze River, his people at least have no chance of survival. Worrying.

"When Zhao was young and wise, she should have received help from others, but later such support no longer existed. Her mother died soon, and she had no choice but to sell herself to bury her mother..."

"Check." Sikong Tong stood up, walked to Ying Shu, and slapped her shoulder heavily with his palm: "Check, no matter what you find, report it to me first."

How to check, how to check, His Majesty the Emperor did not give any indication, Yingshu also knew that she could only rely on herself this time. On this day, she recorded the matter and put it in her pillow bag, as a matter that could not be ignored, and it was not resolved. Before, I had to sleep on my pillow. But she couldn't get in touch with Mrs. Zhao, so she could only rely on guessing to measure this woman's heart.

Is Zhao really a reborn person?

not necessarily.

But she was bound to be used by the reborn person. Her long-buried hatred was revealed. The person promised her that he could avenge her. People who had long lost their purpose of survival and lived just to survive saw a glimmer of light. That person A glimmer of light can save her savior - he may be dead, or he may still be alive, but his savior must have been wronged - in short, this man behind the scenes has awakened Zhao's soul that has never died, and she is determined to fight and fight for the injustice. In the world, revenge for a weak person and prove the meaning of one's life.

Who is her enemy?

It is not Yu Duo and his son, but it must be related to Yu Duo and his son.

In short, Yingshu got another chance to leave the palace.
