Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Let the eldest prince assassinate the emperor? Will he listen to us? Even if we don't let him do it, he will naturally inherit the throne after the old emperor dies."

"Don't worry about this. Shen Siyan is under our control. He will complete the assassination mission." The old man said confidently.

"This..." People began to discuss in a low voice, but when they saw Lord Yin's determined eyes, they stopped questioning and silently accepted the arrangement.

Mrs. Shen was equally confident. She knew that Shen Siyan was now controlled by the poison. As long as the poison was still in his body, he had to follow their instructions.

However, Mrs. Shen frowned slightly and raised a new question: "Master Yin, there is another difficult problem."

"What's the problem?" asked Lord Yin.

"What if the old emperor doesn't pass the throne to Shen Siyan after he's gone? Don't forget there's the Seventh Prince. When he was fighting for the throne with the Fourth Prince, he had already won over many court officials.

Now that the Fourth Prince has made a mistake, those officials have all turned to the Seventh Prince."

"Seven princes?"

Lord Yin sneered: "Don't worry, there is no way he can get the throne, and he may not even be able to keep his status as a prince."

"Why is that?" Mrs. Shen looked at the old man curiously.

"Because he's hiding a secret."

"Secret?" Mrs. Shen asked.

Lord Yin's eyes were cold: "The secret is that he is not of royal blood, but a baby adopted from outside."

"What!" everyone was shocked.

No one expected that the seventh prince was hiding such a big secret - he was not the emperor's biological child.

This is a great betrayal to the royal family!

"In order to maintain her position, Empress Xian used the method of replacing the prince with a cat and brought in a child from another family."

"Is this true?" some people doubted.

"It's absolutely true, the source of the information is reliable, although I don't know who first revealed it." Lord Yin said calmly, recalling that he was also shocked when he first heard about it.

Once this secret is revealed, it will have a huge impact on the fate of the seventh prince.

Suspicion made him dare not believe it, so he decided to investigate secretly. After investigation, he found that the identity of the seventh prince was indeed questionable and it was very likely that he was not a legitimate royal family member.

The people who passed this information to him obviously had the same intention - they all wanted to see the Seventh Prince disgraced.

Since they had the same goal, he decided to cooperate with that person and planned to expose the true identity of the Seventh Prince.

Once the truth comes out, the Seventh Prince will lose his inheritance rights for deceiving the monarch, which will undoubtedly pave the way for the First Prince.

When Mrs. Shen heard the news, her heart was filled with hope, as if the prospect of Shen Siyan ascending the throne and becoming emperor had become brighter.

However, in the shadows, the real Shen Siyan was shocked by what he heard. This was the first time he knew that Baili Yan might not be of royal blood.

In the memory of the previous life, Baili Yan had always been a low-key prince, until one day he was inexplicably punished and sent to the border for eight years until he was killed, and there was no news of him during that time.

Now, as the secret of the Seventh Prince's life experience surfaced, Shen Siyan realized that perhaps it was because of this secret that the late emperor chose to exile Baili Yan to the border instead of executing him directly.

This secret was never known to anyone in the previous life, but it has spread quietly in this life, and more and more people have begun to question the true identity of the Seventh Prince.

Shen Siyan's face was heavy and he was lost in thought.

When the conspirators in the court dispersed, leaving only the old man and Mrs. Shen, they discussed the control over Shen Siyan and the next plan to assassinate the old emperor.

The old man was full of confidence and believed that everything was under control.

However, they did not realize that Shen Siyan had already quietly left, taking all their conspiracy with him.

After returning to the Shen Mansion, Guiguzi entered the Gu-making room as usual, but found that the person who should have been there was nowhere to be found. It seemed that everything was normal, and yet it seemed that everything had changed.

Guiguzi's face suddenly changed, and he hurried in and locked the door to prevent being seen by others.

"Where did he go?"

This question shocked Guiguzi. Shen Siyan left quietly, and even he didn't notice.

"Forget it, let him be. Now that the poison has been resolved, his movements are naturally no longer restricted."

Guiguzi didn't care and was ready to concentrate on preparing the antidote for the heart-breaking poison.

At this moment, the footsteps and voice of the Princess of Nanyue were heard outside the door.

Guiguzi's heart instantly rose to his throat. If the Princess of Nanyue found out that Shen Siyan was not there, she would definitely guess that the poison had been lifted.

This is a big trouble for him! If Shen Siyan's story is exposed, his antidote plan will be ruined!

No, this cannot be allowed to happen!

Guiguzi made a quick decision, walked quickly to the door, and opened it while making sure that the scene in the room could not be seen by the outside world. He almost bumped into the Princess of Nanyue.

"You almost bumped into me!" she said with a frown.

"Princess, please allow me to enter." Guiguzi's voice was low and hoarse, blocking the door and not letting the princess in.

Although the Princess of Nanyue was dissatisfied, she did not say much, considering that she still needed to rely on Guiguzi to control the poison, and just planned to go in directly.

"Please wait!" Guiguzi blocked her way again.

"Why are you stopping me?" the princess asked.

Guiguzi explained seriously: "The toxins in Master Ning's body have not yet stabilized. Anyone approaching him may be in danger. For your safety, please do not go in for the time being."

When she heard the word "poison", the Princess of Nanyue's face changed slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she finally gave up the idea of ​​entering.

"Okay, I won't go in. You have to take good care of Shen Siyan and can't leave him for a moment, understand?"

"Yes, I will do it." Guiguzi agreed.

After the Nanyue princess left, Guiguzi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling deeply moved. He had never thought that he would do such a thing because of a threat.

When he turned around and pushed the door open to go back into the room, he almost cried out in surprise. In the originally empty room, there was a figure sitting on the futon!

Guiguzi widened his eyes, trying hard to suppress his inner shock, gently closed the door, and slowly walked closer.

"When did you come back? You weren't here before."

In a moment, it seemed like they had just chatted for a few words, and Shen Siyan appeared in the room silently.

Guiguzi almost doubted whether the person in front of him was an illusion or a real person. When did he come back and where did he come from?

Shen Siyan slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Guiguzi: "Just now."

After finishing his business, he hurried back to the Shen Mansion, but happened to meet the Princess of Nanyue who wanted to visit him while he was away. So he made a detour and quietly returned to the room through the back window.

He heard every word of the conversation between the two people outside the door.

To his surprise, Guiguzi took the initiative to cover up for him. Although he lacked trust in him, he was slightly surprised by this unexpected support.
