Rebirth of the Prince's Uterus

Chapter 167 Minister of Rites

With Empress Dowager Ciren watching over the matters in the harem, Zhao Hongyin felt a lot more relaxed.As for the identity of the show girl, Zhao Hongyin still has no idea.The secret guards he sent out always cut off the clues as soon as they found out a little clue.This made Zhao Hongyin have to suspect that someone interrupted him on purpose.But such an interruption seemed too rough, which made Zhao Hongyin feel that those people in the dark seemed to be deliberately telling him of their existence.

After the officials learned that Zhao Hongyin had made a move, they retreated back to avoid alarming the snake.So Zhao Hongyin is not sure how those people behind the scenes deal with other people.

He was guessing their identities, although he felt that they were almost inseparable... Zhao Hongyin decided to wait until the person from that side showed up.

As for whether it was good intentions or malicious intentions, Zhao Hongyin believed that those people had good intentions.Otherwise, she would not choose to reveal her identity so quickly in front of him.

Now that he was roughly sure of the purpose of that show girl's visit, Zhao Hongyin took back the person he had sent out.If those people are sincere, they will come to him in person... Otherwise, since he is unwilling to cooperate, he will not let people disrupt his pace.

After about half a month, Zhao Hongyin received a message from the mansion outside the palace, saying that a guest had indicated that he wanted to see the prince.The servants in the house quickly controlled him and immediately notified Zhao Hongyin.

It was night, the moonlight was dim, Zhao Hongyin put on a black dress and slipped out of the East Palace.

When Zhao Hongyin got there, he saw the controlled man drinking slowly from a teacup.Hearing the movement, he raised his head slowly and saw that it was Zhao Hongyin who smiled, "Your Highness."

The lines at the corners of his eyes when he smiled revealed the man's age, but he didn't look old at all, instead he had a charm that had been precipitated by time.

But Zhao Hongyin saw the essence of this person at a glance, the old fox is not easy to deal with.

"Master Shen, why do you have the time to drink tea here?" Zhao Hongyin walked over and sat down, his tone as if he was a familiar friend

The person who came was none other than Shen Minzhi, Minister of Rites who planned to assassinate the emperor back then.

The hidden guards guarding Zhao Hongyin looked like they were facing an enemy, and they all showed fierce expressions towards Shen Minzhi.

Shen Minzhi didn't care, just smiled slightly, he looked at Zhao Hongyin and tilted his head slightly, "The prince should have never seen the minister." Zhao Hongyin's eyes moved slightly, "I see it now."

Shen Minzhi stared at him blankly for a moment, then laughed loudly, "As expected of His Highness's descendants, they really look alike!"

The Highness he was talking about would naturally not be the emperor, Zhao Hongyin knew that it was the former prince.

"Is Gu similar to the prince?" It has always been Zhao Hongyin's regret that he couldn't remember the former prince and princess.But now everyone in the court keeps it secret, even the Empress Dowager Ciren doesn't want to mention it.Now that Shen Minzhi mentioned it, Zhao Hongyin wanted to hear more.

"Very similar." Shen Minzhi nodded slightly, with a look of relief and longing, "The moment you walked in, I seemed to see His Highness reborn."

Zhao Hongyin looked at him hesitantly.

"Your Highness, don't be suspicious, I have no reason to lie to you." Shen Minzhi couldn't help laughing, "Otherwise, I wouldn't come to you alone." Zhao Hongyin laughed lowly, "No wonder the emperor is so afraid of Gu."

Shen Minzhi heard the disgust in his tone and was slightly taken aback, "That thing back then..."

"Master Shen, didn't you tell Gu about that on purpose? Otherwise, how could Gu find the nanny so easily." Zhao Hongyin took a sip of tea and said calmly.

Shen Minzhi became a little interested, "When did you know?"

"Gu Nian was still young, and his mind was filled with hatred. When he calmed down, he knew something was wrong."

Shen Minzhi seemed to want to explain something, but Zhao Hongyin interrupted him.

"Gu believes that Master Shen's words are true, otherwise the emperor wouldn't be both jealous and afraid of Gu."

Shen Minzhi raised the corners of his mouth, and became more and more satisfied with Zhao Hongyin.

Seeing his expression like this, Zhao Hongyin couldn't help frowning. "Gu knows that you want to avenge the former prince, but Gu will never allow you to block Gu's way."

Shen Minzhi took a deep look at him, and said in a deep voice, "That's your father too."

Zhao Hongyin's heart burned, but he said: "Gu doesn't remember everything, but Gu will not forget the hatred. If you only want the emperor to die, Gu thinks there is still room for us to cooperate."

Shen Minzhi knew that Zhao Hongyin had seen through his true thoughts, so he became more hesitant to answer.

"Master Shen, there is no need to say that Gu is similar to the former prince. Gu is the emperor's son, which makes many people on your side dissatisfied. And not

Everyone believes what you say, and even if they believe, they will not obey Gu, because Gu is not the blood of the former prince. "Zhao Hongyin sighed, "If the former prince hadn't left blood, you wouldn't have come to look for Gu. "

Shen Minzhi didn't deny it either, but said indifferently: "In my heart, you are His Royal Highness's son. It was Zhao Tainian who snatched you away."

!,,

Zhao Hongyin did not doubt Shen Minzhi's words, but this only represented him personally, not the forces behind him.

"Those people behind you, they want the entire royal family to be destroyed, right?" Zhao Hongyin looked at him sharply, as if nailing him to the chair slab.

Zhao Hongyin raised his eyebrows and said with a sarcastic smile: "It's wishful thinking, as long as there is loneliness, the Zhao family will survive for a day."

Shen Minzhi's heart moved slightly, he really resembled His Highness!

He lowered his head for a long time, and said as if he had made up his mind: "I won't let them mess around, and I invite Your Highness to ascend the throne!" Zhao Hongyin smiled, "That's the case, and with Master Shen's help, it will be twice the result with half the effort .”

Shen Minzhi stood up and saluted, but said, "I will die!"

Zhao Hongyin stood up and stroked him, comforting him: "Lord Shen, don't do this, you are the former prince's beloved minister, how can you be worthy of being alone?"

?,,

Speaking of the former prince, Shen Minzhi couldn't help looking at Zhao Hongyin hopefully, "Can you call Your Highness Father?"

Zhao Hongyin was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything for a while.

Shen Minzhi grabbed Zhao Hongyin with his backhand and said eagerly: "You were still young, but you can already speak. I still remember how you sat in His Highness's arms back then. You called him father, you called him father."

Zhao Hongyin paused, and held Shen Minzhi's hand back, "Master Shen, let's talk to Gu about the father's affairs today."

The two talked about many things in the past while holding candlelight. Of course, Zhao Hongyin was listening most of the time, while Shen Minzhi was recalling.Most of what he said were warm things, so he occasionally looked at Zhao Hongyin with very gentle eyes.

Zhao Hongyin has only seen such tenderness in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Ciren, it is a kind of love from elders to younger generations.

He suddenly discovered that Shen Minzhi's affection for the former prince may have surpassed that of the monarch and his ministers.

Seeing that Zhao Hongyin was a little distracted, Shen Minzhi didn't continue.

Zhao Hongyin came back to his senses, and asked hesitantly: "Since Mr. Shen can even find Gu's house, then... the matter of You'an

Shen Minzhi couldn't help laughing and said: "The matter between Your Highness and Xu You'an also shocked me at the beginning."

Zhao Hongyin raised his eyebrows, "Sir Shen really has great powers, and he can know such things."

Speaking of it, Shen Minzhi didn't really hold the evidence, but could see it from the eyes of the two of them when they get along with each other on weekdays.He himself...whether he doesn't mention it, he is naturally very sensitive to this matter.But it was not worth the loss if it aroused His Highness's suspicion.

He hastily added: "The minister's energy is not that great, but it's just that His Highness and Young Master Xu get along with each other as if there is no one else around."

Why didn't Zhao Hongyin hear the reminder in his words, but he didn't care.

"Gu's life was saved by You'an, so Gu naturally doesn't want to neglect him because of these things."

It is actually very unwise to say this in front of Shen Minzhi, because no courtier hopes that his monarch is a person who is seductive and blind.But Zhao Hongyin just wanted to let them know that You'an was special to him.Even if the country is gone, he can't live without You'an.

Like Zhao Hongyin who can understand the meaning of Shen Minzhi's words, how can Shen Minzhi not understand the warning in his words.

Shen Minzhi smiled slightly, "Your Highness, you are too worried. Young Master Xu will be a great help to you, and he is also a person you cherish. I will definitely not do anything against him. But I also hope that Your Highness understands that only when you board Only God can you live together with Young Master Xu and grow old together."

Zhao Hongyin likes to talk to smart people the most, he nodded slightly, "Gu's heart is like a mirror, and Gu knew what you said before he realized that he was in love with You'an."

"Your Highness can do this, I am very relieved."

Zhao Hongyin's heart warmed slightly, so why not his You'an?

They always chose the most difficult path.

Before dawn, Zhao Hongyin returned to the East Palace.He didn't sleep all night, and he didn't feel tired.After talking with Shen Minzhi all night, he couldn't help but move slightly.Taking advantage of his interest, he turned around and went to the study room, picked up a brush and drew a picture.

After Mo Gan was sealed, Zhao Hongyin asked the hidden guards to send the painting out of the palace.

Shen Minzhi returned to the house where she was hiding, but was about to fall asleep when the door was knocked suddenly.He frowned slightly, could it be... No, His Highness doesn't need to do this.

After making up his mind, he opened the door, and what he saw was an exquisite brocade box.

No one had ever given him such a thing before, so it was conceivable that the one who would send it would only be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Shen Minzhi carried the brocade box into the house, and opened it after looking at it for a while.

It is a rolled up painting.

His heart moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand carefully.With just one look, Shen Minzhi couldn't hold back his tears anymore, he covered his mouth to keep himself from crying.

The painting showed a man holding a child. The man lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, but from his profile, it could be seen that he was in a very happy mood.And the child was reaching out to catch the tassels that had fallen from the hair crown.

Shen Minzhi sat in front of the painting for a long time without looking away for a moment.It took a long time, until finally all the afterglow disappeared, and Shen Minzhi came back to his senses.

He approached the man in the painting with trembling hands, but retracted the moment he touched it.

He smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness... How are you doing down there? I, I really miss you."
