Shen Zhi didn't immediately respond to Liu Shuyan's words. Instead, he looked around first, then climbed to the side of the bed and looked down. Seeing that there was no sign of Xia Zi, he knelt and sat opposite Liu Shuyan, trembling. He replied: "Concubine, last night the accomplice of the Xiliang woman who was alone in the East Palace should have given the medicine to Gu, and then wanted her to take the opportunity...to take the opportunity..."

Speaking of this, Shen Zhi suddenly stopped, she didn't know how to express such a shameful thing to Liu Shuyan.But Shen Zhi thought about it, judging from what Liu Shuyan did last night, even if she didn't say anything, Liu Shuyan should understand what medicine she had in her body and what Shen Tai was thinking.

So after getting tired of it for a while, Shen Zhi finally blushed a little, chose to skip these words directly, and went on directly: "The Xiliang woman's name is Xia Zi, and she doesn't look like a bad person, she should...should It was also forced by Shen Tai to do this. It's just that Gu fainted shortly after seeing her, and I don't know if she discovered Gu's identity last night. If... If she really found out, it is estimated that Brother Jin Got it too."

After saying this, she couldn't help her throat move, and looked up at Liu Shuyan nervously, trying to get the answer she wanted from Liu Shuyan's expression when he heard these words.

After Shen Zhi lost consciousness last night, when she woke up again, she only saw Liu Shuyan by her side all the time, and she focused all her attention on other things on Liu Shuyan.As for Xia Zi, she didn't notice that she was lying on the side of the bed the whole time.

Therefore, now Shen Zhi also doesn't know whether Xia Zi was taken to another place by Liu Shuyan, or if he left the Lizheng Hall before Liu Shuyan came, and went to meet with others.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Shen Zhi's voice to fall, and Liu Shuyan's brows that were slightly frowned because of worry just now relaxed.Seeing this, Shen Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Shuyan was not nervous when he heard her say these words, he should have already dealt with these matters.

"Early this morning, before dawn, Shen Tai sent someone to say that the Xiliang woman's family had come to find her something, and took her back to Prince Jin's Mansion for a temporary stay." Shen Zhiting, who had just relaxed Immediately after saying this, he clenched his hands again, Liu Shuyan smiled at her comfortingly, leaned forward and gently touched the back of her neck with his hand just like last night.

Itching, Shen Zhi wanted to dodge subconsciously, but in the past she would not deliberately avoid Liu Shuyan, if she avoided it today, wouldn't it be suspected that there is no silver 300 taels here?

After thinking about it, Shen Zhi finally gave up the idea of ​​running away, resisting the numbness in his neck, and let Liu Shuyan go.

Seeing that she did not refuse, Liu Shuyan went on to explain: "When the concubine came, she had just brought His Highness to the bed, and had no time to do anything in the future, so she did not discover His Highness's identity."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi's heart that had been hanging all this time finally completely fell down.

In this way, Xia Zi's incident did not bring about any irreversible consequences, so everything is easy to talk about.

However, when Shen Tai came to pick her up, he probably thought that Xia Zi had succeeded last night. In order to prevent the people from the East Palace from killing her, he found a reason to place her in his house so that he could protect her.He must be thinking about making it public when the child is born in the future, then even if Shen Zhi wants to save him, he will have no chance.

It's just that Shen Tai can do such unreasonable excuses and actions, not because he lacks scheming, but precisely because he pretends to be good to Shen on the surface, but in fact he doesn't take her seriously at all. .Because he knew that even if he did this, as long as Shen Zhi didn't have any solid evidence, even Liu Xiuyun's people facing Shen Zhi would not be able to say anything inappropriate about it.

These are all personal matters, not to the extent of being taken to the court for discussion.

But the only thing that puzzled Shen Zhi was, since he knew that Xia Zi was instigated by Shen Tai to do such a disrespectful thing, why Liu Shuyan didn't find a reason to keep her, and if it was useful in the future, he could use it as a personal certificate, instead She handed it over to Shen Tai?

Just letting her go like this, whether Shen Tai will be unfavorable to Shen Zhi again in a short time after knowing the incident, just because of the failure of Xia Zi's mission, according to Shen Tai's temperament, he is very likely to do everything in order to get things done. And do something to kill people.

Thinking about it, while rejoicing, Shen Zhi couldn't help lowering his eyes again, heaved a long sigh, and shook his head helplessly: "Let her go back, it's probably more than auspicious."

Hearing such words, Liu Shuyan also pursed his lips and smiled, half jokingly said: "Now Your Highness is not worried about his own safety, why is he worried about the fate of a woman who wants to harm you? In this world, there are few people who can To be as kind as His Highness."

"Gu just thinks that she is also a poor person." While speaking, Shen Zhi frowned slightly, looking very uncomfortable and helpless, and said, "Before Gu lost consciousness, I heard Xia Zi say that she actually didn't want to hurt like this. She is lonely. She should also be the daughter of an ordinary family. The reason why she came to this deep palace is probably because Shen Tai pinched her fatal weakness to threaten her. Otherwise, she would not have lost her life and chastity Don't care about it, go and help Shen Tai do this kind of thing."

"If it is possible, who would not want to live an ordinary life, find a good husband and son-in-law, take care of her husband and teach her children, and be at the knees of Chenghuan's parents? She is not wrong, it's just that she met Brother Jin, and she had to do it as a last resort. It's just a sacrifice."

Shen Zhi's words changed Liu Shuyan's view of her a bit.In the past, she thought that Shen Zhi didn't like to involve innocent people as she said, but now it seems that she would only hate those who touched her bottom line.In most cases other than that, she is quite considerate of others.

If this temperament is placed on other people, it is not necessarily a shortcoming.But Shen Zhi is a prince who will rule the world in the future. He is too benevolent and may become her fatal weakness in the future.

"Then, does Your Highness also want to live an ordinary life?" Liu Shuyan did not tell Shen Zhi about her worries, but just withdrew the hand that was placed on the back of Shen Zhi's neck, and gently smoothed her brows , looking into her clear eyes like water, asked softly.

Hearing this, Shen Zhi nodded without the slightest hesitation.But in the next moment, she pursed her lips and shook her head when she met Liu Shuyan's warm eyes: "I used to think about it, but now...it's impossible. If I want to protect the country that my father and uncle have worked so hard for, We can't let it fall into the hands of a duplicity like Brother Jin. If he becomes emperor like this, he will be worried about the safety of his father and imperial concubine, and he will also worry about the innocent people in the world..."

Hearing what Shen Zhi said, Liu Shuyan also took a deep breath with her, looking into her eyes and couldn't help but look away.After a long silence, she turned her eyes back to Shen Zhi again, and the smiles on her face just now had all disappeared.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about Xia Zi's safety. The concubine asked the accompanying reader to tell the outside world that Xia Zi is sleeping in the palace. If you think about today's incident, it will be heard by many people in the palace. Naturally, Shen Tai will also Think so."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that Liu Shuyan would let Du Qinning say that.But... why did she do this?Could it be that she turned against that Xiliang woman and wanted to plot against Shen Tai?

Shen Zhi was surprised, which was also expected by Liu Shuyan. She continued to explain: "It is true that Xia Zi's parents and younger brother are controlled by the King of Xiliang, so she agreed to come into the palace as a last resort. If she dares to do something Going against Shen Tai's matter, the lives of all her family members will be lost, and the remaining three should be the same. As His Highness said, no one is stupid enough to take the initiative to do such a thing."

"So the concubine asked her to go back and told Shen Tai that the plan was a complete success. If the medicine Shen Tai gave them, if the woman took it and performed Zhou Gong's ceremony, she would basically be unable to escape when she became pregnant. So this time she went back, Shen Tai Taiding will think that she is pregnant with a child, and will take good care of her. However, it will take at least a month and a half to feel the happy pulse. During this time, she will be safe for the time being. The concubine also promised her, about One month later, they sent people to Xiliang to bring their four family members to the capital to resettle them. Now Shen Tai has not made any obvious moves, and the King of Xiliang dare not disobey the prince's edict. Of course, she agreed."

Shen Zhi listened carefully, until Liu Shuyan stopped talking, and then she asked tentatively: "The imperial concubine already has the idea of ​​making a big move within a month and a half?" Otherwise, why did Liu Shuyan fight to save her life? So much trouble?Arranging Xia Zi to go to the Prince Jin's Mansion is probably because she will be of great use in the future.

Liu Shuyan nodded and did not deny it: "There should be, but it is inconvenient to tell His Highness about these plans right now, His Highness will know about them in the future."

Like many things in the past two days, although Shen Zhi was very curious, she believed in Liu Shuyan. If she said it was inconvenient to tell her, it must be because the time had not come, or even if she knew, she would not be able to help.When it was time for her to know, she would naturally know, so she didn't ask too much.

"Okay," after a pause, Shen Zhi asked again, "But how does the imperial concubine know that she will not be a false surrender, and when she arrives at the Prince Jin's mansion, will she tell Brother Jin what the imperial concubine said to her?" Although Shen Zhi felt that she was innocent Poor, but it is necessary to be defensive, and when necessary, one cannot unreservedly trust an irrelevant person.

"Her sister is still in the Penglai Palace."

It turned out that there was her older sister among the four of them.

However, it is also understandable that the fewer people involved in such a shady matter, the better. It would be easier and safer for the King of Xiliang to have two people in one family.

Seeing Shen Zhi nodding, Liu Shuyan said again: "The concubine has been in the Lizheng Hall since yesterday evening. If she doesn't go back, people may be suspicious. Your Highness can ask someone to send some hot water to wash up, and wait for the concubine to deal with it." After finishing the matter of the Penglai Palace, come and look for His Highness." After that, Liu Shuyan seemed to remember something, put his left index finger to his mouth and bit down hard.The next moment, blood overflowed from her fingertips.

When Shen Zhi saw it, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and Liu Shuyan, who was torturing himself so much, never even blinked his eyes.

"Your Highness, step back a little."

With Liu Shuyan's actions, Shen Zhi knew what she wanted to do.So Shen Zhi obediently supported the bed with her hands from behind and moved her body back a little, but her cheeks were blushing again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Shen Zhi sat down again, Liu Shuyan lifted the quilt with one hand, squeezed the thumb of the other bitten hand near the fingertips, and two drops of red blood dripped on the quilt one after another.

After doing this, Liu Shuyan rubbed the two quilts a few times to make them look messy, then put on his black mask again, and got out of bed.

Shen Zhi also stayed with her and wanted to see her off.Seeing this, Liu Shuyan, who was about to leave, was afraid that Shen Zhi would catch a cold, so she picked up Shen Zhi's clothes that she had folded next to the bed, as if she wanted to dress Shen Zhi one by one.

"Concubine, come by yourself." The effect of the medicine has passed, and Shen Zhi's body is fine. Coupled with her dirty thoughts last night, Shen Zhi doesn't want Liu Shuyan to do such an intimate thing for her anymore. up.

Pulling back and forth three or two times, Liu Shuyan couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to pass all the clothes in his hand to Shen Zhi, and let her wear them by herself.

Xu also felt that it was unnecessary to see him off, so while Shen Zhi was getting dressed, Liu Shuyan told Shen Zhi that there was no need to see him off, and she had to hurry back to Penglai Palace as soon as possible.

Before leaving, with one hand on the window, Liu Shuyan looked at Shen Zhi who was busy dressing while looking at her. He couldn't help but feel cute, and turned to remind her a few words: "Your Highness has something to ask Du Ban to read. She knows everything about it. Xia Zi has no one to connect with, and the person who poisoned him has not yet been identified. Your Highness must remember that except for Du Bandu, when other people mention this matter, they must answer that Xia Zi was indeed in bed last night. .”

"I remember it alone, thank you for your concern." I put on the clothes casually, seeing that Liu Shuyan hadn't left yet, Shen Zhi couldn't help but took a few steps towards her, and responded.

"Especially Cao Min, Your Highness needs to be more careful." After finishing speaking, Liu Shuyan smiled at Shen Zhiying who was walking towards her, opened the window to confirm the safety outside, and left the Lizheng Hall without much lingering.

The author has something to say: the matter of the Xiliang woman is over for now, the next thing is that Xue Ruoyu is coming, and our little Highness will rely on her to enlighten her.

If there are any bugs, please remember to tell me, I have dug too many pits, sometimes there may be some small mistakes, I will thank you with red envelopes, love you~ (typos are fine)
