I'm Undercover [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 9 Royal Chaos 1 Pot of Porridge
Yang Shuo didn't seem to think that Song Shizhi would ask this question, but instead looked up at him.The other party was looking at him sincerely, as if he really wanted to know the answer.
Yang Shuo saw the intent to detect emotion in Song Shizhi's eyes, and smiled amusedly.He dropped the white jade wrench he was playing with in his hand, and the object fell on the table. There was a clear and crisp sound, and then there was no movement.Song Shizhi lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the transparent and flawless white jade, and remained silent.
"Servant Xia, why do you want to know about this?" Yang Shuo asked seemingly casually, but his eyebrows and eyes were more serious than before.
Song Shizhi paused for a moment, and still slightly mentioned what happened just now to Yang Shuo, "I just overheard the conversation between the prince and the concubine. It seems that the relationship between the prince and the He family seems to have happened a long time ago. There is a relationship."
"The concubine is from the He family, does Guard Xia know about this?" Yang Shuo asked calmly.
"The subordinates naturally know. The subordinates mean..." Song Shizhi only thought that Yang Shuo hadn't understood his meaning yet.Then he searched for a suitable rhetoric in his mind again, and wanted to recount it again.However, before he could finish speaking, Yang Shuo cut off his words.
"You mean, the prince and the He family had secret contacts, and this secret contact existed long before the princess married into the palace." Yang Shuo's words seemed to be asking Song Shizhi, but With a very positive tone. "Servant Xia, am I wrong?"
"No. Your Majesty is wise." Song Shizhi nodded.
Yang Shuo got up, walked slowly to Song Shizhi's side, and said with a half-smile, "I can tell you what you want to know. But... Guard Xia doesn't seem to want to explain it to me... Did you hear it?" What?"
"This subordinate doesn't dare. This subordinate just has doubts in his heart and dare not speculate." Song Shizhi answered quickly this time.At the moment, Song Shizhi still doesn't understand the relationship between Yang Fan and the He family, and he only knows a little about the conversation between Yang Fan and He Hui'er just now.That's why he didn't tell Yang Shuo all about it.As for the only sentence that he understood thoroughly, 'My heart is really devoted to Your Majesty', Song Shizhi thought about it, and he still felt that it was better not to meddle in other people's business.
Yang Shuo didn't care about Song Shizhi's concealment, and just said, "Back then, after the death of the former prince, several princes focused on the vacant prince. The power struggle was originally an invisible struggle. The princes On the surface, they are still like brothers and sisters, but they are fighting each other secretly. There is only one crown prince, and to put it more clearly, there is only one emperor. In addition, the former emperor was seriously ill, and many people understand that this secret struggle What does it mean. The ministers in the court are more savvy than the other, so naturally they all rely on the princes."
"At that time, the He family... was actively standing in the prince's camp." Song Shizhi answered in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yang Shuo chuckled in surprise, and retorted, "The He family has been military generals for generations, not to mention that the He family held some military power. At that time, which prince didn't want to win over the He family? They needed the He family to stabilize themselves." power."
Song Shizhi obviously understood Yang Shuo's words.At that time, the first emperor was seriously ill, and the former prince died.Although the princes are determined to fight for the throne, they may still have a little less force than the He family, which holds important military and political power.If the He family really has no ambitions, they can remain neutral and have nothing to do with themselves.Wait until the princes secretly fight to end, and then attach themselves to the new emperor.Song Shizhi recalled the few words that He Huier inadvertently said not long ago.It seemed that all of a sudden, a bold idea appeared in his mind.At that time, apart from being attached to the new emperor, the He family could actually... or... watch the tiger fight in secret, and then replace him.
"Then... why did the He family... choose the prince?"
When Yang Shuo heard this question, he asked back, "You should know, what is the surname of the current concubine?"
"Is it really for the princess?" Song Shizhi heard this taken-for-granted answer, but his heart was full of doubts.In the conversation between Yang Fan and He Huier just now, there seemed to be something else hidden.And... It seems that Yang Shuo doesn't know about this secret?
Yang Shuo said casually, "No matter what the process is, the He family still chose Uncle Huang."
Song Shizhi suddenly remembered what he had inquired about in the tavern, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Excuse me for being bold, I still have something I want to ask His Majesty to answer."
"What's the matter?" Yang Shuo answered, looking at Song Shizhi.
"Back then...the one who stood on the prince's side, was Prime Minister Xia Xia's family?"
When Yang Shuo heard this, he didn't immediately choose to answer.I saw Yang Shuo suddenly squinted slightly, and looked at Song Shizhi.Song Shizhi saw the sharpness in his eyes, and stepped back unexpectedly.And this move naturally fell into Yang Shuo's eyes.In an instant, Yang Shuo's slender fingers pinched Song Shizhi's chin.The force from Yang Shuo's fingertips was quite heavy, but it made Song Shizhi feel a little pain.However, at this moment Song Shizhi couldn't dodge.
"I suddenly remembered something. Before, someone told me that Xia Shiwei's identity seems to be too clean... I heard you mention the Xia family just now, and I wanted to ask on a whim, is Xia Shiwei from the Xia family? ...Is it related?" Yang Shuo's tone was still light and light, but like a feather, it seemed to flutter in his heart.Occasionally it can be disorienting, and occasionally... chilling. "By the way, Xia Shiwei said that he is a foreigner, so he doesn't seem to know the rumor?"
Seeing the rare frost in Yang Shuo's eyes, Song Shizhi swallowed hard, and then replied, "Your Majesty must have misunderstood. I guarantee my life, and I have nothing to do with the Xia family. Or, this subordinate does not know what the rumors His Majesty is talking about."
"The Xia family has already been wiped out, so the guards don't need to ask." Yang Shuo said coldly.
"All... dead?" Song Shizhi asked subconsciously when he heard this for the first time.
"Xia Ju's intentions are ulterior motives, killing the ex-prince is not a pity!" Yang Shuo seemed to be a little angry, he turned around with his sleeves, and walked back to his seat.
Hearing this, Song Shizhi suddenly realized.The former prince...that is, the biological father of the current emperor Yang Shuo, Yang Che.
"Your Majesty's forgiveness for your slip of the tongue!" Song Shizhi said almost at once, and his already uneasy mood became more and more uneasy.This was originally a matter of long time ago, not to mention that the former crown prince was dead, and Yang Fan deliberately suppressed this matter after he assisted the government.The original owner, Xia Yihuan, naturally had no memory of this incident.Therefore, the memory sent by the system to Song Shizhi will naturally not have anything about this thing.
...Garbage system, ruin my life!
Song Shizhi cursed silently, but he couldn't help but panic for a while.Since I met Yang Shuo, it was the first time I saw him get angry.When I mentioned it, I must have touched his inverse scales.
Although it was the first mission, it didn't matter if it failed, but Song Shizhi really didn't want to say goodbye to this world because of the crime of 'offending Longyan' before starting the mission.
Yang Shuo walked back to the table, picked up the tea that had already been poured, and took a sip.After he sorted out his emotions, he turned around and took a look, which made him laugh again.I saw Song Shizhi slightly bowed his body and lowered his head, his gesture of 'pleading guilty' to himself remained unchanged.
Song Shizhi was lowering his head, his eyes only fell on the ground, so he couldn't see the expression Yang Shuo was looking at him at the moment.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Yang Shuo's mouth, and his originally cold eyes also brought a smile.Yang Shuo stared at Song Shizhi who was still motionless, and raised his eyebrows.In fact, he wasn't really angry, but he just wanted to see how long the person in front of him could maintain this posture.
Song Shizhi, who lowered his head, didn't know what Yang Shuo was thinking at all, he only thought that Yang Shuo was burning with anger at the moment, thinking about how to deal with himself.The already anxious heart became more and more anxious during the long wait.
- System, system, what should I do?
——System, what is Yang Shuo thinking now?
——System, my neck is so sore.
——System... Can you stop being so cold and talk to me.You can clearly sense my thoughts...
--…system!What the hell should I do now?
System: Shut up, and wait quietly to plead guilty.
Hearing the system's response, Song Shizhi really felt even more uncomfortable...
After about half a cup of tea, there was a voice outside, "Your Majesty, your subordinates are in a hurry."
"Come in." Yang Shuo, who had been staring at Song Shizhi, finally shifted his gaze to the curtain.Soon, a black figure walked in. Mo Yi glanced at Song Shizhi who was "pleading guilty", then turned his gaze to Yang Shuo, and shouted, "I pay my respects to the emperor."
Hearing this voice, Song Shizhi knew who was coming.Song Shizhi was a little touched by Mo Yi's faint glance just now.
——System, he seems to have ignored me directly.
System: Well.
Song Shizhi: Garbage system...!
Yang Shuo didn't know Song Shizhi's mental activities at all, he just looked at Mo Yi and asked, "What's urgent?"
Mo Yi took a quick look at Yang Shuo and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he said respectfully, "Return to Your Majesty. Someone tried to assassinate the prince just now. But it failed, and he committed suicide."
Hearing this, Yang Shuo showed a meaningful expression, and immediately asked, "How is your lord?"
"The prince himself is fine. It's just that the concubine seems to be a little frightened. I heard that he has sent medical officials there." Mo Yi replied truthfully.
"I know. I'll go and see now." Yang Shuo said.Even though he shifted his gaze to Song Shizhi again, the other party remained motionless, as if he had already been set.Yang Shuo couldn't help but widen his smile. Seeing Yang Shuo's rare smile, Mo Yi couldn't help turning his head to look at Song Shizhi.
Yang Shuo covered his smile with his hands, and then said to Mo Yi, "Go outside and wait."
"Yes." Hearing these words, Mo Yi answered quickly, turned around and backed out.
After Mo Yi's figure disappeared into the tent, Yang Shuo walked to Song Shizhi's side and stopped.
"...Your Majesty?" Song Shizhi seemed to sense Yang Shuo's gaze, and called softly.There seemed to be an imperceptible trace of grievance in his tone.
Yang Shuo hooked the corner of his mouth, and in a moment, Yang Shuo's hand landed on Song Shizhi's neck, and patted it lightly, "Isn't the neck stiff? You idiot." It was just a gentle pat, but accompanied by Hearing the last word, Song Shizhi froze in place.
Song Shizhi suddenly raised his head, ignoring his stiff and painful neck, just looking at Yang Shuo.Yang Shuo was startled by his sudden wink, but he quickly said, "I'll talk about the matter just now when I have time." After speaking, he walked away.Song Shizhi looked at the direction where Yang Shuo was leaving, but involuntarily stretched out his hand to touch his neck. It seemed that the trembling caused by the slap just now was still there, and it seemed to be a brand mark, which was imprinted into Song Shizhi together with those two words. the heart.
"System, I thought of someone." Song Shizhi said in a low voice, but a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yang Shuo saw the intent to detect emotion in Song Shizhi's eyes, and smiled amusedly.He dropped the white jade wrench he was playing with in his hand, and the object fell on the table. There was a clear and crisp sound, and then there was no movement.Song Shizhi lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the transparent and flawless white jade, and remained silent.
