Shen Siyan was the only one left in the room, and his expression became solemn.

He knew that from this moment on, his plan would officially begin, and soon the fate of the Shen family would also usher in a drastic change. Thinking of this, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in his eyes.

There is still one more thing to do, regarding Shen Feng.

"Brother!" Shen Siyan whispered softly.

Guiguzi walked out of the room and the cold night wind made him shiver.

He frowned, thinking about how to find the antidote for the Heartbreak Gu in a short time. This was no easy task, because the herbs needed were rare and precious.

"Is Shen Siyan really okay?" A quiet voice suddenly sounded.

Guiguzi turned around in astonishment and saw the Princess of Nanyue. He didn't know how long she had been standing there, nor how much she had heard.

The Princess of Nanyue looked directly at Guiguzi, as if trying to read the truth from his expression.

Guiguzi sneered twice: "My poison has never failed. If Your Highness the Princess does not trust me, you can find someone else who is more skilled."

"Of course I believe you."

The Princess of Nanyue softened her tone a little: "It's just that this matter is of vital importance and no mistakes can be allowed."

"Please ensure Shen Siyan's safety before our plan is completed."

Guiguzi snorted and did not respond.

At this time, a guard came running over.

The Princess of Nanyue turned around and asked: "Did you find it?"

"Princess, the target has disappeared without a trace."

The Princess of Nanyue's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with the performance of her guards.

The guard said in a low voice, not daring to look directly at him: "Young Master Shen is back."

After hearing the news, the Princess of Nanyue immediately went to the courtyard where Mrs. Shen was.

Inside the house, Madam Shen held Shen Feng's hand tightly and called his name softly. When she took the fake Shen Siyan to Huping Mountain, she only found Shen Feng sitting alone in the carriage.

After confirming that he was safe, she hurriedly took him back to Beijing and asked a doctor to check to make sure her son was safe.

When the Princess of Nanyue arrived, Mrs. Shen recounted the whole story from beginning to end with a frown on her face.

"Didn't see anyone else?"

Princess Nanyue's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she quickly sorted out the situation: "This is obviously a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Their real target is Shen Siyan in the mansion."

"You mean..." Mrs. Shen looked at the princess in surprise.

"Four people did sneak into the Shen Mansion tonight, but unfortunately they were not caught. But it doesn't matter, because they didn't see Shen Siyan, so their efforts were in vain."

The Princess of Nanyue snorted coldly. She knew clearly who the invaders were - Ye Yunzi, who was good at using poison, and Doctor Tao.

Mrs. Shen took a deep breath after hearing this, and was glad that everything was fine. At the same time, she had a new assessment of this extremely smart princess: it would not be easy to deal with her in the future.

The two of them appear calm on the surface, but in their hearts they each have their own thoughts and plans.

Princess Nanyue smiled slightly: "Madam Shen, we must plan ahead to prevent any trouble. We must find a way to let Shen Siyan ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that we can feel at ease."

"I thought so too." Mrs. Shen nodded in agreement. They both had the same goal.

"What are your plans, Master Yin?"

Since they had the same goal, Mrs. Shen thought she could share the plan with the Princess of Nanyue. "Lord Yin has already come up with a countermeasure."

"Are you going to pass the position of crown prince to Shen Siyan?"

Madam Shen sneered a few times: "Although the position of the crown prince is good, the process from the crown prince to the throne is too long, so we plan to let Shen Siyan become the emperor directly!"

The Princess of Nanyue widened her eyes and looked at Mrs. Shen in astonishment.

"As long as the old emperor is gone, Shen Siyan will be able to inherit the throne." Mrs. Shen remained calm and smiled.

The Princess of Nanyue was so shocked that she was speechless at first, realizing that this was an act of treason, but she soon calmed down and smiled with the same deep meaning.

"Indeed, if we just let Shen Siyan be the emperor, things would be much simpler."

Time is running out, and she is eager to become the queen, hold real power, and prove her strength to her ruthless sisters in the Kingdom of Nanyue.

The two reached a rare agreement on this point. They understood each other's thoughts without words.

the next morning,

Mrs. Shen tiptoed out of the mansion and got into a carriage.

She pretended to leisurely walk around the city for a few times, then quietly drove to a remote alley. Her destination was to meet with Lord Yin to discuss how to advance the plan to let Shen Siyan ascend the throne.

Recently, someone has been eyeing Shen Siyan and even kidnapped his brother Feng'er as bait.

Such threats cannot be ignored and may happen again. Mrs. Shen frowned, determined not to let anyone hurt her son.

The carriage slowly drove into a deserted alley. A figure quietly followed behind, and this person was Shen Siyan.

He used his Qinggong skills to follow the carriage silently without attracting the attention of anyone in the carriage.

When the carriage stopped in front of a hidden courtyard, Shen Siyan remembered the place, then jumped onto the roof like a gust of wind, looking for an opportunity to sneak in.

After a night of recuperation, his internal strength had almost recovered. With this strength, he could easily perform Qinggong without being discovered, unless he encountered a top master.

Mrs. Shen walked into the house and entered a room with the help of the servants.

She skillfully operated the mechanism on the bookshelf and opened a secret door leading to a secret room. This was where the old men of the previous dynasty had secret gatherings, and it was extremely secretive.

Seeing this, Shen Siyan did not follow immediately, but looked around carefully, found another entrance and entered the secret room quietly.

In the secret room, Lord Yin and other members had been waiting for a long time. They sat together in a solemn and tense atmosphere.

"We have been waiting for this moment for a long time."

A white-haired old man said: "Now we can finally take action to overthrow the current emperor and revive the previous dynasty."

Everyone nodded, their eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement. Mrs. Shen couldn't hide her joy either, as her years of patience seemed to be about to be rewarded.

But when it came to discussing the specific method of assassinating the emperor, problems arose. The palace was heavily guarded, and even the best assassins of Tieyun Pavilion would have difficulty in succeeding.

“How can we do this?” someone asked, and others agreed.

The old man pondered for a moment, his eyes firm: "Assassination is not easy, but we have our own way. Now is not the time to discuss difficulties, but to formulate strategies."

Mrs. Shen nodded, knowing in her heart that the road ahead would not be smooth, but she was willing to give everything for her son and the ideals of the previous dynasty.

If assassinating the emperor was as easy as it sounded, they would have done it long ago.

"Assassin? Haha, we don't use assassins." The old man smiled contemptuously.

"Who should we use then? Who can break through the heavy protection and get close to the emperor?"

"Shen Siyan."

"The eldest prince?" Everyone looked at each other in shock, not understanding the meaning of this sentence.
