"I didn't hurt anyone, and I didn't kill anyone, so why the trouble?" Shen Luoxi asked.
"King Lian has just been released from the ban, and now he is worried that he can't find any excuse for me. Now you say that you pushed King Lian into the river. Even if it is to protect yourself, you should not do this."
Shen Luoxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said coldly: "Then the prince should teach me how to protect myself in such a situation where I am surrounded by enemies on all sides, without offending the King of Pity?"
"If you can't even think of this solution, I have to consider whether to continue to cooperate with you." Cang Yunxuan said indifferently: "Shen Luoxi, you have indeed helped me a lot recently, but you can cause trouble. Each one’s troubles are bigger than the last.”
"If something goes wrong in the future, I will not let you implicate me."
When Shen Luoxi heard this, he almost laughed angrily.
"What the prince said is really high-sounding. I did everything I should. On the contrary, the prince said he was protecting me from King Lian, but in fact he just asked the secret guards to monitor me."
"Even if I am assassinated, the prince's secret guards will only watch from the sidelines, not as useful as the dogs on the roadside!"
Her words were merciless, and she looked at Cang Yunxuan coldly.
She and Cang Yunxuan each wanted what they wanted, and she would not let anyone trample on them.
"Since the prince is unwilling to discuss countermeasures with me, I am too lazy to waste time." She turned around and said coldly: "It's just that if something happens in the future, the prince will not come to ask me for help."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the study.
Cang Yunxuan frowned, and the next moment a flying needle pierced deeply into his foot.
"The princess still has to kill the prince. I can't kill the prince, but as long as the prince is still breathing, the princess can also use it." He said meaningfully: "I hope the prince will not give me the opportunity to use the second flying needle. "
He strode to follow Shen Luoxi, ignoring Cang Yunxuan's gloomy face.
…
In the palace, the queen stood up suddenly when she heard the maid came to report.
"Lian'er fell into the water and got cold? What's going on!"
The palace maid hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, Prince Lian, took the princess to swim in the river, but unexpectedly, he accidentally fell into the river."
"Are you not careful? Are all the servants serving Lian'er blind?" the queen said angrily: "If you can't do such a small thing well, what are you still doing alive?"
"Has the imperial doctor passed?"
The palace maid nodded, "Don't worry, Queen, the princess will be invited to the palace as soon as she returns home."
The queen was relieved, but after sitting down, she felt something was wrong.
King Lian knew some martial arts, so how could he "accidentally" fall into the river?
She grabbed the palace maid's hand and said in a cold voice, "Besides Lian'er and the princess, is there anyone else on the ship?"
"Princess Xuan was on the boat, but within half an hour she landed alone."
The queen's face sank, "Princess Xuan is here too? Let the secret guards around Lian'er come to see me immediately!"
"yes."
A moment later, a secret guard appeared in front of the queen. He told the queen everything that happened on the ship, and then had scalding tea poured on his head.
"I have worked so hard to train you, and this is how you repay me?" The queen said coldly: "Princess Xuan only brought one bodyguard. There are more than ten of you, but you can't even protect Lian'er."
"A bunch of trash!"
The secret guard felt that his scalp was numb, but he just clenched his fists silently.
"My subordinates are useless."
"Do you still need me to tell you what to do?" the queen said coldly.
The secret guard was silent. He naturally knew that the Queen's torture method was much more vicious than that of King Lian.
The pity king only punished people with some physical pain, but the queen made life worse than death.
She would make people jump into the swamp, watch them struggle continuously, and then hang them up with a rope until they were dying, and then repeat the process over and over again. The euphemistic name was to make them better remember failure.
The secret guard lowered his head. If possible, no one would want to escape from the queen's control, but the queen planted a poisonous insect in their bodies, so they had no choice.
"Get lost. If you are still this useless in the future, then kill yourself."
"yes……"
The queen's expression became ferocious as she watched the secret guard disappear.
Shen Luoxi was more difficult to deal with than she thought!
If left unchecked, it will become even more difficult to eradicate in the future.
She thought for a moment and her eyes flickered.
"Come here, send a message to the outside world on my behalf."
…
The next day, Cang Yunxuan got up early to go to court. After hearing King Lian's request for leave, a light flashed in his eyes.
He calmly put away his thoughts and listened quietly to the reports of the ministers.
"My lords, do you have anything else to report?" the eunuch at the door asked loudly.
Cang Yunxuan was about to salute, but a speech official stepped forward.
"I have something to report."
In the past, everyone was waiting to withdraw from the DPRK at this time, but few people came forward at this time.
The emperor said calmly: "What's the matter?"
"I think His Highness Seventh Prince can take on a big responsibility!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent.
All the ministers looked at each other, no one expected that he would say this.
The emperor's expression was so calm that no one could see any emotion at all, "Why do you think Master Fang feels this way?"
"His Seventh Highness has made a lot of progress over the years, and he is among the best among the princes. I had a chance chat with His Highness a while ago, and found that His Highness was well-educated by Concubine Wen."
Mr. Fang said eloquently, "Concubine Wen knows how to educate her children. Whether it is His Highness King Xuan or His Highness Seventh Prince, they are very similar to the emperor in demeanor and knowledge. This will surely continue to be the case when Concubine Wen gives birth to a dragon descendant."
The emperor's eyes fell on Cang Yunxuan vaguely. Cang Yunxuan's body tensed up and she tried hard to maintain a calm face.
He didn't understand why Mr. Fang said this. In the past, when the matter of establishing a prince was mentioned in the court, he and Sister Lian Wang would only be mentioned, but he did not expect that someone would involve Cang Chenru now.
Cang Yunxuan didn't want Cang Chenru to get involved in the court dispute, but it was hard for him to speak now.
If he told them, it would only make the emperor more suspicious, thinking that the two brothers were colluding with Mr. Fang.
Therefore, he could only remain silent.
Master Fang kept talking about many good things about Cangchen Confucianism, but the emperor just listened quietly.
"Listening to Master Fang, it seems that I haven't asked Chen Ru about his homework for a long time." He said solemnly: "Do other adults have official business to report?"
There was silence in the hall, and the emperor stood up.
"Retreat from the court."
"Your Majesty."
When Cang Yunxuan walked out of the hall, the ministers who fawned over him hid far away and only dared to look at him with their peripheral vision.
Without changing his expression, he strode out of the palace gate and got into the carriage before his face darkened.
For several days in a row, people mentioned Cang Chenru in court, and the emperor became more and more indifferent to him.
Cang Yunxuan was restless in the study, but couldn't think of any solution.
He was able to go smoothly these days because Shenluoxi gave him advice. All he had to do was give orders.
But now...
"Your Majesty, can I come in?" Ning Yanran's voice suddenly sounded.
