When Shen Ningyun heard the second prince asking this question in front of everyone, the sourness and guilt in her heart surged up again.
That year, both she and her father knew that their aunt should have died at the hands of the king. This shows that the king's desire to get rid of the Shen family was unshakable.
At that time, the king of the country still had a preference for the eldest prince. The ministers in the court followed the trend and flattered the eldest prince a lot.
The second prince's chances of winning are slim, but once the eldest prince ascends the throne, he will be the first to attack the Shen family.
Her father, who was responsible for the lives of the whole family and even the entire clan, was already in a state of distress. That day, he suddenly came to her and told her that he planned to let her continue his marriage to the king.
Shen Ningyun clearly remembered the scene that day. Her elegant, elegant and proud father bent down in front of her with red eyes, holding her hand and saying "I'm sorry".
In fact, the Lord is so afraid of the Shen family that marrying her as his second wife sounds unlikely.
Dad's plan was really desperate. He just thought that if she could give birth to a son and become a legitimate son, the Shen family might be able to turn over.
She didn't know how many tears she shed that day. It happened that a message from Erlang asking her to meet came through. She was almost heartbroken when she recalled the endless affection and mutual understanding between her and him.
But she finally agreed to her father's request, because her aunt had been working hard for so long, and because as the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, she had to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the family no matter what.
I thought that the Lord might not agree to Daddy's request due to many considerations. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of that day, the news spread that the Lord would marry her as his second wife.
After that, every time she saw Erlang in the palace, it was torture for her.
Because it was Erlang who she approached first for family planning, and it was she who abandoned Erlang for the sake of the Shen family. From Erlang's perspective, she was a complete heartless person.
It's natural that Erlang hates her.
She had always thought so until she met him at the corner of the Royal Garden that day.
Under the trellis with the sun behind him, he looked at her quietly, the affection in his eyes almost overflowing...
At this point in her thoughts, Shen Ningyun trembled slightly, and she no longer dared to think deeply.
The king heard the second prince's question and the veins on his forehead throbbed. He suddenly pulled his hand back and hit the second prince hard on the face with the back of his hand.
Shen Ningyun moved her feet, then stopped.
The king looked at the second prince, whose expression remained unchanged, and the anger in his heart became deeper and deeper. The eldest prince, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to have caught a glimpse of a turning point, and his eyes flashed brightly!
At this time, the king said calmly: "Master Qiao, Master Che, can we discuss the matter of seducing souls and souls at another time?"
This is an eviction order.
This sentence made everyone see that the king really cares about the second prince.
The eldest prince was jumping up and down just now, like a clown. The king did not order the people to be driven away. He was sure that everything was under control and regarded the eldest prince as an abandoned son.
Now that the second prince stood up and mentioned the word "Madam", the king started to drive them away, which showed that he wanted to save face for the second prince.
Qiao Zhongguo and the others were already on pins and needles, so they had no nerve to force them to stay, so they hurriedly bowed and left the palace.
In fact, they were "forced" to watch half of the show today, and they had no intention of ridiculing it.
After all, there have been many scandals in the royal family since ancient times, and the royal families of their own two countries are not much better, so don't laugh at the fifty steps...
Only Jiaojiao gave Meng Guxue a meaningful look before going out.
【Sister Meng! Please! Be sure to tell me the complete cause and effect tomorrow! 】
Meng Guxue instantly realized the urgency and longing in Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes, and quickly winked:
understood! Eat the melon soul and stick to it, and you will definitely fulfill your mission!
The palace door closed again, the king took a deep breath, and suddenly cursed angrily at the second prince: "You bastard! You're a worthless thing!"
When Shen Gaolang asked for a meeting and proposed to marry Shen Ningyun to him as a continuation, he did have many considerations.
At that time, he had not yet made a choice between the eldest and the second child, but Shen Huilan intervened and chose the second child without authorization, which made him extremely angry.
Therefore, during that administration, he ordered someone to quietly increase the dose. He originally wanted to give some punishment to make Shen Huilan retreat in spite of the difficulty, but he unexpectedly killed her directly.
Thinking of this, the king's hands trembled.
But in the final analysis, he still believed in Shen Huilan's vision, so in the following days, he paid more attention to the second child and found that he did act more appropriately than the eldest brother and had no bad habits in private.
The choice in his mind had already shifted, and at this time Shen Gaolang asked Shen Ningyun to make a continuation for him.
His first thought at that time was that the second son and Shen Ningyun had met in private. If he really wanted his second son to become the crown prince in the future, Shen Ningyun would never marry the second son, otherwise the future wife of the king would be a daughter of the Shen family.
Moreover, Shen Huilan was so smart, so her niece was probably not that simple, so keeping her under her nose would give her peace of mind.
A hundred years from now, Shen Ningyun will have no children, so she will find a way to "willingly" bury him.
The king was far-sighted and careful in everything, but he missed two things.
First, Shen Ningyun had extraordinary abilities. Even though he had many calculations, she still managed to give birth to her legitimate son.
Secondly, he never would have imagined that the second prince had already been deeply in love with Shen Ningyun back then, and even still did not forget his old love.
This bastard, as a prince of the royal family, still indulges in the love of children. Shen Ningyun is already his stepmother, how dare he commit incest!
The boss is also a fool, with no brains, and the concubine he has loved for more than ten years is still a workman sent by others!
The third child...the third child is half of the Shen family, so he cannot become the crown prince under any circumstances. Otherwise, wouldn't his years of planning and targeting become a joke?
When his thoughts reached this point, the king felt his eyebrows throbbing.
None of the three sons is good!
The second prince bore the lord's wrath calmly and guessed the answer from the lord's angry expression.
The coldness on his face slowly melted away, and a trace of bitterness slowly overflowed.
At this time, the eldest prince suddenly grasped the king's hem and said with great excitement:
"Father, look, this is your favorite prince!"
"My son is right, he covets the wife. The two of them are deeply inseparable, and even the third brother's life experience is in doubt!"
"Father, do you dare to give the crown prince position to your second brother even in this situation? I'm afraid that he will be so lustful and stupid in the future that he will hand over the world to the hands of the Shen family!"
Hearing this, Baili Chengyou sneered: "Brother, you are really evil-minded. If this incident hadn't happened tonight, it would have been unknown whether Shen Yuanbai would return to Nan Li Tianxia in the future!"
The eldest prince's face turned pale when he was told this. He was about to defend himself when there was a knock on the door of the royal study.
Eunuch Guan pushed the door open and walked in, raising his voice and saying, "My lord, this servant has returned from the eldest prince's residence, and both Shen Yuanbai and Yin Zhu are missing!"
When the second prince and Baili Chengyou heard this, they immediately looked at each other cryptically. It seemed that they had a tacit understanding!
