After Shen Rongci left Chonghua Palace with the system, he was afraid of meeting the second prince on the way, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and went straight back to Luanzhu Terrace.

Although Gu Chiyuan had already warned the Chonghua Palace and the palace people who carried the sedan chairs not to spread the news of Shen Rong's resignation into the Chonghua Palace; but after all, these palace people belonged to the second prince and empress. Rong Ci has been silent all the way, without any communication with the system.

I thought that as soon as I got back to Luanzhu Terrace, I could immediately go back to my room to exchange information with the system, but when I entered the hall, I was stopped by a few nuns.

The leading nun said: "The emperor is coming tonight, and the empress specially ordered the old slave to clean up the son and then face the saint. My son, please."

As soon as the words fell, before Shen Rongci could react, several nuns rolled up their sleeves and half pushed him to stand in front of the mirror, and took off his cloak without any explanation.

They moved so fast that Shen Rongci had no time to stop them, and the leading nun exclaimed: "God! My son, you are..."

Several nuns all came over, looked at Shen Rongci's back shoulder and whispered: "How did you make it like this..."

Shen Rongci knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only plead for mercy: "It was me who was not careful, sisters, please don't tell my aunt..."

Then I heard the head nurse Yan said: "My son, did you accidentally tore your clothes when you were practicing martial arts?"

Torn clothes?

Just torn clothes?

Shen Rongci took a peek at the system, and saw the other party hiding in a corner and winking wildly at him.

He turned sideways and looked at his back in the mirror.Most of the clothes inside were torn, and without the cover of the cloak, the piece of fabric torn off by Gu Chiyuan hung down limply, exposing half of his back with his skin intact.

And thanks to the black suit he was wearing, the blood that Gu Chiyuan stuck to his clothes could no longer be seen, only the part that had been poisoned by the needle left a few streaks of dried blood.

For the rest, there was no scar at all.

Shen Rongci followed Mammy Yan's guess and said, "Yes...it was accidentally broken while practicing martial arts."

In order to cultivate the princes' abilities in both civil and military skills, the Imperial College does have martial arts courses. On weekdays, they usually study literature in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon.But today, because he and Gu Chiyuan claimed to be sick and rested in the Library Pavilion, they did not participate in the afternoon class.

A lie needs to be covered by countless other lies.Shen Rongci couldn't explain the wound healed in an instant, so he could only lie that he tore his clothes when he was practicing martial arts.

Yan Momo saw the blood on his shoulder, frowned and asked, "Is your son injured? Why is there blood?"

"It's not my blood, it's... it's the blood on the weapon that accidentally got on me when I was practicing martial arts, it's the blood of the training guards."

This reason is really far-fetched, although the nuns also half-believe, but after all they don't understand the situation in the martial arts field, so they have no choice but to believe his words for the time being.

"The prince is the same. Although it is out of filial piety to not let the concubine Jin worry about it, it should not be too desperate. The sword has no eyes in the martial arts field. Fortunately, it is only torn clothes today. If it is really injured in the future, the concubine Jin and the servants They will all be heartbroken."

Nanny Yan is an old man who has been with Concubine Jin since she entered the palace. To put it bluntly, she almost regards Concubine Jin as her relative.Therefore, she also cared about Shen Rongci from the bottom of her heart.

Shen Rongci knew that Madam Yan had good intentions, and he felt warm in his heart: "I understand, thank you Mama for reminding me."

"Don't say you don't mention it, it's really annoying this old slave. I will hide what happened today for you. If there is another time, even if you are not injured, this old slave will tell your mother."

"it is good."

Shen Rongci breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this test has been passed.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to pull up his clothes and put them on, he was held down by the nanny.

"My lord, it's not over yet."

Mammy Yan smiled slightly, and winked at the other mammies.Seeing that the mothers who had been ready to go, got the instruction, they all surrounded Shen Rongci.

Shen Rongci felt that he had become a doll in an instant. After the blood on his shoulder was wiped off with a wet towel, he stood there dryly and let the nuns manipulate him, raising his hand when he was asked to bend down Bending down, even the hair had to be disassembled and combed again.

The system hid aside, not daring to speak out, and could only silently cast a sympathetic look at Shen Rongci.

When the mothers and nuns finished their work, it was already the beginning of the festivities, and when Shen Rongci arrived at the main hall, the emperor had already arrived and was playing chess with Concubine Jin.

Seeing him coming, Concubine Jin winked quietly.Shen Rongci understood, and walked up to the two of them in a dignified way to salute: "Shen Rongci sees the emperor."

Originally, the dull black clothes on his body were replaced by a set of dark vermilion golden ruoluan costumes by the nuns. His black hair was pulled up high and tied with a peacock green emerald crown, making him look energetic Not a lot.

This dress, which is close to Concubine Jin's taste, obviously helped Shen Rongci win the emperor's favor, and the other party waved to him kindly: "Shen Shizi, let's see how the game is going? Is there any room for Heizi to maneuver? "

Shen Rongci stepped forward and glanced at the crisscross chessboard with black and white chess pieces, feeling dizzy.As a contemporary young man who can't even play backgammon against a robot, it is more difficult for him to explain why to a game of Go than to solve a calculus on the spot.

Shen Rongci said honestly: "Back to the emperor, grass people don't know how to play chess."

As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Jin gave him a reproachful look, obviously saying that his answer was too straightforward and didn't know how to be roundabout.

The emperor didn't blame him for his ignorance, but was amused by his honesty: "It's okay, Shizi Shen is still young, so you can learn chess slowly. I heard that Shizi Shen went to the Imperial College today, what interesting news do you have?"

Shen Rongci couldn't help but start to mutter in his heart: This scene is too much like a parent asking a child about homework.

Interesting news... Then there is no need to ask, there is no doubt that the assassination of the Cangshu Pavilion.

But the point is, should we tell the truth?

The emperor looked quite kind, but obviously the other party's question could not be answered casually, and he would lose his head if he answered wrongly, so he had to think carefully.

After he returned to Luanzhutai, Concubine Jin didn't ask him about it, which meant that the news might have been blocked by the second prince.

But for the emperor, the entire palace is his territory, and his eyeliner is everywhere. He may not be ignorant of what happened in Zangshu Pavilion today.

Moreover, judging from the emperor's reaction just now, it is obvious that the other party prefers people who tell the truth.

"Back to the emperor, Guozijian is a place for reading and writing articles. There are no interesting things... But there is a strange thing."

"Oh? What a miracle?" The emperor seemed interested.

Shen Rongci took a deep breath and briefly told the emperor what happened in Zangshu Pavilion today.Of course, he consciously concealed the part where he was poisoned by the needle and poured dirty water on Gu Chiyuan.

After listening to him, the emperor did not show any surprise, apparently he knew about it a long time ago; on the contrary, Concubine Jin's eyes widened, she couldn't help pulling Shen Rongci away, and asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"

Shen Rongci shook his head: "No."

Concubine Jin looked him up and down carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately after thinking about it, Liu Mei raised her eyebrows and blamed: "Why didn't you tell your aunt when you encountered such a big matter? If the emperor didn't ask, are you going to keep hiding it from me?"

After all, Shen Rongci is an adult, and he was somewhat embarrassed to be told by his elders in front of other people: "Auntie..."

"Aunt what? Now you know I'm your aunt?"

Concubine Jin has a hot temper, in her eyes she has regarded Shen Rongci as her own child, and the emperor is her beloved.Educating her own children in front of her beloved does not need to deliberately hide anything for her.

Fortunately, the emperor interrupted her with a smile: "Okay, I think Shizi Shen didn't want to worry you, so he kept it from you. After all, Shizi is not an ignorant child, and he must have his own considerations in his heart." .”

Concubine Jin was outspoken just now, and said whatever came to her mind.Now that he was pointed out by the emperor, he also realized that he had spoken inappropriately and did not take Shen Rongci's face into consideration, so he didn't say anything else.

He just gave Shen Rongci another sneaky look, as if to say: I'll deal with you brat next time.

After such a commotion, instead of showing displeasure, the emperor found it novel.Presumably, he has only favored Concubine Jin for so many years because he has taken a fancy to her honesty, which is rare in the deep palace.One must know that there is no woman in the harem who is not cautious in her words and deeds, lest she break the rules, only Concubine Jin, even in front of him, the emperor, has never deliberately pretended.

Holding the sunspot in his hand, he nodded on the table indifferently: "Shen Shizi encountered an assassin on the first day he entered the Imperial Academy, but he didn't show panic and fear. If it were someone else, he would definitely not want to step into the Imperial Academy again." Yes. Shen Shizi is worthy of being the son of Duke Chongning, this kind of courage is invaluable, if you inherit the title in the future, I can rest assured that half of the country will be handed over to you."

Half of the country means that all the military power should be handed over to him, and even the current Chongning Duke has not been able to do it.This expectation is too heavy for a 12-year-old child.

"Your majesty—" Concubine Jin showed a look of panic, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor.

The emperor looked at Shen Rongci. Although his face was kind, he could see his seriousness: "I hope my son knows that you are not joking. What I said today is definitely not just talking. It is just a long way to go. If I can rest assured to hand over the military power People are definitely not idle people, they need to assist the king wholeheartedly. If the prince is content with the status quo, and only wants to eat a vegetarian meal after taking the throne, and disappoints my high expectations, I will never allow it."

He raised his hand, and gently dropped the sunspots in his hand on the chessboard.I saw that Heizi, who had been forced into a desperate situation by Baizi, turned the tide because of this unexpected move. The previous step-by-step management was finally revealed at this time.

"Heaven will send a great mission to the people. You are the secret son I planted, so in addition to the studies of the Imperial College, I will also secretly train you so that you will become the absolute help of the future prince. And before the son meets my request, But there are a lot of hardships to suffer, and you need to be absolutely loyal to the prince. I didn’t force you to give you this opportunity today. If you don’t want to, you can refuse it. I will never blame you. It’s just that it will be difficult if you want it later. ...Shen Shizi, are you willing?"

Shen Rongci was slightly surprised.

You must know that in the original work, the emperor did not show the slightest recognition and expectation for the original owner, the son of Duke Chongning, and even the original owner had no chance to face the saint.And later, because the original owner coveted the throne, he didn't put his mind on the right path. In the end, he not only became a useless person who was incompetent, but also became notorious for doing all kinds of scandals, and was disqualified by the emperor himself .

And the military power in the world will eventually be divided into three routes.Some are in the hands of Duke Chongning, some are controlled by the Queen's mother's family, and some are soldiers trained by Gu Chiyuan himself.

Now the emperor said that he intends to train him?

I also hope that he can assist the future prince to sit in the position where one person is under one person and above ten thousand people...

In the original work, the second prince became the crown prince. Although the throne was still taken by Gu Chiyuan in the end, the second prince should be the best prince in the emperor's heart.

In other words, the emperor wanted him to assist the second prince to ascend the throne?

Regardless of whether the emperor's words will be fulfilled in the end, this world will also belong to Gu Chiyuan in the future. No matter what, Shen Rongci, as cannon fodder standing against the future monarch, will never fall into his hands.

but……

There is no shortage of opportunities to improve yourself.

If he can learn more skills, he will be able to live easier under Gu Chiyuan's hands in the future.

Besides, on the surface, he is the cannon fodder of the anti-male protagonist alliance, but the task given by the system is to help Gu Chiyuan succeed in becoming a leader.If he becomes the second prince's party, with some power in his hands, he can secretly help Gu Chiyuan bring down the second prince.Maybe on the day Gu Chiyuan came to the throne, he could give him a decent way to die because he helped him.

——The final end of the original owner was to be quartered by five horses. It sounded too painful, and Shen Rongci still resisted somewhat.

Thinking of this, Shen Rongci met the emperor's gaze and said firmly:

"Grassmen are willing."
