Long Aotian's Pregnancy

"One, two." Shen Si stretched out his hand and counted his feet, then glanced at Yu Hongyi, "Three."

"Three people were actually sent to deal with you." Yu Hongyi kicked the corpse lying at his feet, "Did the other party underestimate you?"

Shensi shrugged, "I'm too low-key here."

"Yeah, it's too low-key. If you are so low-key, you think you can handle you at will." Yu Hongyi frowned.

It is indeed not a pleasant thing to be calculated by people like this, and Shen Si couldn't help but lower his face and fell silent.

He squatted down and looked at the three corpses.The assassination this time was different from the one encountered in Beiming last time. There were no dead soldiers who committed suicide as soon as they fell into their hands.They didn't intend to catch anyone alive at all, and simply killed all three of them.At this time, Shensi tore off the clothes of the corpses, and saw that each corpse had an obvious imprint, which was the clan emblem of the Queen's mother clan.

"Sure enough," Shen Si twitched the corner of his mouth, "If they are caught alive, they will definitely insist that it was sent by the prince."

After all, Shen Si took out the tip of the knife, made two cuts, and directly dug out the skin of the corpse, destroying these marks.The reason why he did this was naturally because he didn't want to cooperate with the real murderer to frame the prince.

"You suspect the fourth prince, but it's just an inference without any evidence." Yu Hongyi said beside him, "The prince really shouldn't be such an idiot, but maybe he did the opposite and deliberately used this This kind of stupid trick to clear yourself of suspicion, but to induce others to suspect the Fourth Prince. Or if other people see the Fourth Prince fighting with the Crown Prince, it is not impossible for others to use you to kill two birds with one stone and make both of them suspicious."

Shen Si was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Yes, young master, you are right... This pond is too deep."

"You shouldn't have gotten involved." Yu Hongyi asked him again, "This time it's a slap followed by an assassination, what's the next time?"

After thinking carefully for a while, he didn't say a word.

"Such a relationship, such a family, how can there be any nostalgic value?" The more Yu Hongyi said, the more he frowned, thinking that this kid is not worth it, "If I knew this, why would you come here?" Qing?"

"My lord, that's not the case." Shen Si smiled, "I never came to Dongqing because of nostalgia for any relatives."

Yu Hongyi pursed her lips and looked at him.

"I don't want Dongqing's affairs to disturb Beiming." Shen Si said, "And I want to know...I want to know why I have been homeless for so many years, what happened back then, and why my mother must Put to death. That's all."

"Then when you come back now, can you know the truth at the beginning? All you can know is just another pile of lies." Yu Hongyi said, "Beiming is not afraid of Dongqing at all, you can It doesn't have to be."

Shensi raised his head and looked at him.

"Boy," Yu Hongyi met his gaze, "Go back to Beiming with me. If there are still people who want to trouble you, tell them to go to Beiming."

These words obviously made Shen Si a little happy, the boy grinned so much.

After a while, Shen Si shook his head, "They bully me like this, humiliate me, and use me like a fool, can I just walk away like this?"

Yu Hongyi raised his eyebrows, "You still don't want to suffer."

"I have suffered enough." Shen Si turned his eyes away and looked in the direction of the palace, "I have been suffering from these guys since I was still in the womb."

Yu Hongyi understood the boy's anger and unwillingness, so he kept his mouth shut and stopped trying to persuade him.

"As for the truth back then? I did come here for the truth, to find the real culprit who framed us. But now, I have seen through it." Shen Si sneered, "Where do we need to find the real culprit? Our mother and son What happened back then was definitely not the result of any one person or force. Everyone, no matter if it was the prince or the fourth prince, the queen or concubine Yu, and many others, including the emperor Lao Tzu, all of them They all carry a bill, and none of them can escape."

Yu Hongyi nodded, expressing his agreement.The relationships within the Dongqing royal family are intricate and complicated.Although Shen Si's judgment at this time seems crude, it is actually the most accurate.

"In the end, I didn't bother them, but they came to provoke me." When Shen Si said this, his expression became colder, and his fists were clenched tightly, "No matter who it is or what kind of calculations, this chess piece of mine will not Let them do what they want."

"What are you going to do?" Yu Hongyi asked him.

Shen Si smiled and said, "Of course...to make the pool of water more muddy first."

After a while, the people in the palace realized that Shen Si was missing, they searched all the way, and finally found this uninhabited alley, they were terrified when they saw the corpses under their feet.After confirming that both Shen Si and Yu Hongyi were safe and sound, many servants in the palace breathed a sigh of relief.

When the group returned to the palace, the eunuch who came to pick them up had already arrived.

Seeing that Shen Si's cheeks had gone red and swollen, the internal eunuchs were overjoyed, and immediately wanted to take Shen Si to the palace.

The servants of the palace wanted to report the assassination of the sixth prince to them, but they were stopped by Shen Si, "Just now I encountered a little accident outside, and I will tell Father directly later."

The inner eunuchs do not suspect him, they just want to quickly bring Shen Si to the palace.

Shen Si changed her clothes, and said to Yu Hongyi before leaving, "Today is a special day, but the timing is just right."

"What kind of day is special?"

"Spring is coming, and this is the day to send troops to the south." Shensi explained, "When spring comes, fierce beasts multiply, and there will be a beast tide in Nandan. In order to prevent the invasion of Nandan's fierce beasts, every year at this time, Both Dongqing and Nishizawa must send troops to station at the border of Nandan." Only Beiming did not border Nandan, which saved this trouble.

Yu Hongyi thought of General Zhou whom Guan Yanghou had borrowed before.The reason why General Zhou repeatedly emphasized that he must go back before the beginning of spring must be for the same thing.

"Emperor Dongqing has many heirs, so it is an experience to choose two princes to lead the army every year." Shensi added, "The prince just stayed in Nandan last year, so it should be replaced this year."

Having said that, the inner eunuchs in front had urged him three times, so Shen Si had no choice but to bid farewell to Yu Hongyi.

Along the way, Shensi was still thinking about it.

If his deduction is correct, it is really the fourth prince who is manipulating all this behind the scenes, and the purpose of the fourth prince is obviously to frame the prince.And what is the purpose of the prince?Was the reason for that slap really just a thoughtless and reckless act?

Until walking outside the main hall, Shen Si heard the voices of arguments inside.

His Majesty the Emperor was seriously ill, and he was barely helped to the palace by someone. At this time, the prince was so angry that he was jumping.And His Royal Highness, under the emperor's questioning, not only did not have the slightest intention to reflect on the conflict with Shensi in the morning, but his tone became more and more arrogant, "Father, you were given the ecstasy soup by that kid, but I did not. From now on Finally, as long as I see that kid once in the capital, I will slap him once. And next time, it’s not as simple as just slapping him!"

"You...you..." the emperor was trembling with anger, "You want to force me to drive him away? Don't dream, he won't go, if you want to go, you go!"

The prince raised his eyebrows.

Everyone knew well that even if the emperor loved Shensi, it was impossible to depose the prince directly for Shensi's sake.Sure enough, the emperor quickly added, "You go to the south for me to stay. Give me half a year to think about it carefully."

South...Shen Si heard these two words outside, and suddenly realized something.

The prince chooses to act at such a time that he is at odds with Shen Si, but it is actually just to avoid staying in the capital.And if the prince goes to the south, it seems that he will lose the best position next to the emperor, but in fact he will get something more important - military power.

"My son takes orders." The crown prince saluted, and was about to retire upon completion.

The fourth prince over there finally came to his senses, and realized that the development that seemed to be beneficial to him was actually very unfavorable, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Father, eldest brother was in the south last year, and he just came back not long ago. There is no reason to go south this year."

Emperor Dongqing hesitated when he heard the words.Indeed, sending the prince to the south for two consecutive years like this, although it does not mean that it is impossible, is more or less easy to cause some criticism, and it is not conducive to the experience of other heirs.But the two sons were fighting, and one of them said it like this, so they had to find a way to separate.

If the prince is sent to other places, it will be difficult to find something suitable for the prince...

When the emperor was in a dilemma, Shen Si was finally led into the hall.

Seeing him, the fourth prince was faintly surprised, but concealed it well.

More than a dozen princes were all in the hall, standing in a row in a row, looking quite spectacular.If there were no accidents, Shensi should have met the prince for the first time at this time.With the emperor watching from the side, he wouldn't get that slap.

"Father," Shen Si quickly persuaded after saluting, "The crown prince is the pillar of the country, and there is really no reason to stay away from the capital for two consecutive years. Father, please think twice."

The prince's face turned frosty upon hearing this.The fourth prince was relieved.

Emperor Dongqing sighed, "I'm afraid you will suffer a lot."

"Regarding this matter, I have a way to get the best of both worlds." Shen Si arched his hands and raised his eyes, "Father, please send me to the south."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was noisy, and many people showed surprise.

After all, Shensi just came back, and his age is not considered by many people.Many people suspect that Shen Si doesn't understand the meaning of guarding the south at all, and want to regard this statement as childish.

Even His Majesty the Emperor disagreed at first.But after glancing at the prince next to him, the emperor sighed hesitantly.

"Father!" The fourth prince noticed that things were getting out of control, and hurried forward and said, "Sixth brother is still young! Even if you want to let him leave the capital, you can let him go directly to the fief, why bother to go to the dangerous south !"

Shen Si sighed, "If you go to the fiefdom, is it safer than the south? Maybe it's easier to die on the road instead."

His Majesty the Emperor heard that his tone was wrong, and quickly asked, "How do you say that?"

"To be honest, if I hadn't learned a few tricks outside, I wouldn't have seen my father at this time." Shen Si told the truth, "Just half an hour ago, I almost died in the Inside the capital city. The bodies of those guys who assassinated my ministers are probably still lying on the street at this time."

The whole room was shocked.

"Father still understands my son's willfulness." Shen Si arched his hands again, earnestly pleading, "Even if he had to die, my son would rather die on the battlefield guarding Dongqing."
