Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

"Sir, please go in. I will take my leave."

After delivering the clothes, the servant hurried away, not hiding her panic at all.

Are the people around the third prince so stupid? Shang Shixu checked the doors and windows carefully again before starting to change his clothes.

at the same time

The second princess, Li Yuze, also came to Zizhu Garden. Although she did not know martial arts,

But fortunately, he was smart enough to avoid the servants along the way and arrived at Zizhu Garden smoothly.

Zizhuyuan is a very small palace, and it doesn't even have a side hall.

Rather than being a palace, it is more like a luxurious courtyard built in a bamboo forest.

Li Yuze gently pushed open the door, and Shang Shixu instantly sensed the danger.

He quickly put on his clothes, picked up the vase on the table as a weapon, and lay in ambush.

I saw a sneaky woman rummaging around in the house.

After a closer look, isn't this the second princess Li Yuze? Jiang Huaixu didn't lie to her.

What was she looking for? Shang Shixu had been squatting on the beam for a long time.

This dilapidated house has been uninhabited for years, so certainly no one will come to repair it. I hope nothing happens.

With a snap, it was over. A beam broke and Shang Shixu had no time to jump away.

He fell straight down, and the vase in his hand flew to the princess's feet and broke.

There was a letter among the fragments, and the princess bent down to pick it up.

Shang Shixu also saw the letter, although he didn't know what it was.

However, her instinct told her to get it first.

Shang Shixu can use Qinggong to move over in an instant like the wind.

But the princess was very close, and at the same time they both got the envelope.

"Why is Lord Shang here? It's not good to trespass into the palace."

Li Yuze wanted to use the imperial power to suppress Shang Shixu and force him to let go.

"Your Highness, it was the Third Prince's attendant who brought me here."

Shang Shixu refused to let go, and the two were in a stalemate. The princess suddenly exerted force, and with a "swish" sound, the letter was torn in two.

Fortunately, most of them are here in business timing.

"Second Prince, now that the letter has been torn in two, how about you and I look at it together?"

Li Yuze was very reluctant, but she couldn't beat Shang Shixu.

He was eager to know who poisoned his mother, so he had to compromise.

The two of them put the letter together. There wasn't much content, just a few scribbled words.

It looked like a hastily written suicide note before he was killed.

The letter said, "I am the clerk of the Imperial Hospital, and I am under the instruction of the Prime Minister Shang Shixu.

He gave the Queen a slow-acting poison. Now he wants to kill me. I can only hide the letter in Zizhu Garden and discuss the timing..."

Shang Shixu was shocked. She had never done such a thing. The person who wrote the letter not only slandered her,

There were many more insults thrown at her afterwards, and she didn't forget to curse her even before she died.

After reading the letter, Li Yuze's expression changed and he quickly retreated to the door.

"No, Second Prince, I definitely didn't do this.

Although I have no evidence, I have no reason to do so.”

Shang Shixu explained anxiously that revenge for his mother's murder was no joke.

"Why should I believe you? If I submit this evidence, Lord Shang will be beheaded."

"Your Highness, you cannot present this evidence. The Emperor still needs me.

I will not let you die like this, and today's game,

Your dear father specially set it up for you, me and the Queen."

Shang Shixu was not in a hurry and even cleaned up the broken pieces of the vase on the ground.

Li Yuze struggled to stand steady. She only knew that this was a trap set by Concubine Wang and her daughter.

Unexpectedly, her father was also involved in this. No, why should she trust a stranger?

"Why should I trust you?"

Shang Shixu packed up everything and patiently explained to this greenhouse flower,

"Second Prince, the Queen is now useless.

Only a few useless collateral branches of the family were left in the court.

Your opponent, Concubine Wang, is not only favored, but also has a general who can fight.

And the third prince is the only one who seems capable of taking on the important task.

You, who have no chance of winning, want to hear something more straightforward?"

Li Yuze lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing that she had no reaction, Shang Shixu thought she was still stubborn and continued to taunt: "It seems that you, Second Prince,

If you want to hear something more straightforward, listen carefully, you are good for nothing and can only wait to die, haha."

Li Yuze suddenly raised her head, her face full of tear marks. She bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

It was over. She started crying. Shang Shixu was most afraid of tears because tears represented helplessness.

"Second Prince, don't cry. You can still be saved. Do you remember who I am?"

"What do you mean by that? Aren't you the prime minister?"

Li Yuze wiped his overflowing tears and stared at Shang Shixu.

"My dear prince, I am Shang Shixu, the powerful prime minister of the dynasty. I can protect you if you wish."

Shang Shixu reached out his hand to the princess, the sun shining through the window onto his back.

Suddenly, there was brilliant light everywhere, as if the light was emitted by Shang Shixu himself.

Unlike his previous aggressive look, his expression was much gentler, which weakened the oppressive feeling brought by his handsome face.

Li Yuze reached out his hand and placed it on the small but very warm hands.

Li Yuze was stunned for a while. Shang Shixu saw that she didn't say anything.

I could only speak first: "Your Highness, why are you standing there in a daze? Do you agree to my words?"

Li Yuze came back to his senses and a hint of shyness flashed across his face.

"What can I do to help you? As long as you can save my mother, I am willing to do anything."

Shang Shixu touched the princess's head.

"Don't worry, Second Prince. I'll need your help tomorrow. I'm going to bring a friend into the palace who can save your mother."

Li Yuze wanted to push the hand that was causing trouble above his head, but then he remembered that he could only rely on Shang Shixu now, so he could only accept it depressedly.

The two of them discussed the plan of bringing people into the palace in detail, and Shang Shixu estimated that the time was about right.

"Your Highness, I guess the Third Prince will come and expose our affair soon.

In order to protect our reputation, I will let you down."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Yuze to react, he picked him up and flew to the backyard.

There are not only bamboos in the backyard of Zizhuyuan, but also many lush trees that cannot be named.

Shang Shixu hid the princess in a tree and carefully placed his changed clothes under the tree.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. I'll come pick you up after I've dealt with those bastards."

After saying this, he stood up and went back to the room, leaving the princess alone staring at his back, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Shang Shixu first found a well, drew a bucket of water, and then got up and went back to the house.

After a while, the third prince really came to Zizhu Garden with a group of people.

Without even knocking on the door, he kicked it open and barged in.

"Shang Shixu, you are so bold that you dare to... huh? Why are you alone?"
