Shen Qiyin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Seeing this, she knew that her previous guess was probably correct.

Xiao Yan briefly checked on the lady, and then asked Shen Qiyin: "How is her health?"

"The fever was caused by the cold. I've already taken medicine."

"In your opinion, can she be easily moved in her current condition?" Although the hut was tidy and clean, it was too simple and not suitable for recuperation.

Shen Qiyin naturally understood what Xiao Yan meant.

only--

"Let's wait until Madam is completely well. After all, she just started sweating. If she catches a cold after all this, her condition will relapse and that won't be good." After a pause, she continued, "If you're worried, you can find two trustworthy maids to look after her. I can come and see her anytime when I'm free."

"Ah."

Xiao Yan responded solemnly.

He lowered his eyes to look at the person on the kang, his gaze deep and dark.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally said, "Since you came to see me, you must have guessed her identity."

Hearing this, Shen Qiyin hummed softly.

Xiao Yan's eyes were still on the lady, but he held Shen Qiyin's hand and said, "I lost my mother when I was young, and my father was obsessed with elixirs all day long and didn't pay much attention to me. My aunt was worried about me, so she took me to live in the palace."

"Aunt Si was an old friend of my mother before she got married, so she treated me very well, just like my aunt."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince treats me like a brother."

"Yinyin, they are all very good people in this world."

Shen Qiyin unconsciously tightened his hand: "That so-called art of exorcism..."

"It's just an elaborate frame-up."

"But why did Your Majesty believe it?"

Xiao Yan suddenly sneered and said, "This was a trap set by him, so he will naturally believe it."

Shen Qiyin was stunned when he heard this: "Your Majesty set up a trap?!"

It's not that she hadn't thought about the possibility that the Queen and the Crown Prince were wronged, but her thoughts had always been on the struggles in the harem, and she had never thought that the person behind the scenes would be the current emperor!

"Why did he do this?" According to what Xiao Yan said, the Queen and the Crown Prince were not people who would harbor rebellious intentions.

"Because the prince's reputation is too great, he is wary of him."

In fact, the reason why Emperor Xuanwu was able to ascend the throne was not because he stood out among the previous emperor's sons, but because the previous emperor liked the crown prince who was still the emperor's grandson at the time.

The late emperor passed the throne to Emperor Xuanwu in order to allow his grandson to become emperor.

The condition was that the future crown prince would be made the crown prince.

"He was worried that the prince would become too powerful and would suddenly push him out of power one day, so he ignored the relationship between husband and wife and father and took the initiative."

These can be considered royal secrets.

Shen Qiyin was shocked when he heard this.

She then looked at Xiao Yan with a look of surprise and doubt: "Then, how do you know all this?"

If he had known the truth at that time, given his personality and his relationship with the Queen and the Prince, he would definitely not have sat idly by.

On the contrary, if he found out later, perhaps this was the truth about why he controlled the government in his previous life.

Xiao Yan: "I don't believe Aunt Si and the Crown Prince would do such a thing, so I have been investigating secretly. In addition, my aunt is in the palace, so it is not easy to find out the truth of the matter, but it is not completely clueless."

"You did not tell His Majesty directly, but chose to investigate secretly. Was it because you were worried that you were not sure, or did you not trust him from the beginning?" If it was the latter, why?

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan spoke again, his tone becoming colder: "People like him are not worthy of trust!"
