"So, what your Highness means is... to replace Han Yao with someone else?"
After hearing this, Shen Yanchuan spoke slowly.
Xiao Chengxuan paused and lowered his voice: "What the prince said is half right. After this incident, Zhao Hanguang's position may not be preserved. Although he is innocent, Han Yao is his subordinate. It was because of jealousy that he had this idea, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. In my opinion, at least he would be judged as a lax ruler. If he comes down, then the position of the Minister of Guanglu Temple will be empty. Out."
Shen Yanchuan twirled the tea cup and said: "What His Highness said is reasonable. It is not impossible. But... from another perspective, he was unjustly accused this time, and he was interrogated in prison for so long. No problem has been found in him, but it makes people think that he is upright and upright. It is unknown whether His Majesty will be lenient and allow him to resume his official position."
These words made Xiao Chengxuan stunned.
"You mean...he still has hope of staying here?"
Shen Yanchuan was noncommittal: "It all depends on the Holy One's will."
Countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Chengxuan's mind instantly.
He originally thought that Han Yao and Zhao Hanguang would definitely be included this time, so he had already selected suitable candidates and would just wait for the right time to fill them in.
did not expect……
His eyes flashed.
"This is not impossible. Zhao Hanguang has been working hard in the past few years and has indeed not made any big mistakes. Only this time... However, if the prince thinks so, then perhaps the father will continue to keep him."
Xiao Chengxuan deliberately frowned, seeming a little regretful.
"If this is really the case, then...it would be fine to have the position of Young Minister of Guanglu Temple."
Han Yao is dying and must be dealt with as soon as possible.
As long as Zhao Hanguang is still the minister of Guanglu Temple, he can get through it by sending anyone in casually.
Many people knew that Han Yao was his, but few knew that he was very kind to Zhao Hanguang, who had already done things for him.
So at this time, he simply explained it directly in front of Shen Yanchuan that he would enter Guanglu Temple with a spy no matter what. In this way, no one would think that Zhao Hanguang was his bigger trump card.
Shen Yanchuan smiled slightly.
"This shouldn't be difficult for you."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Chengxuan knew that the Beihou Mansion would not interfere in this matter, and it was most likely stable.
His eyebrows relaxed, he smiled and raised his glass: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
Shen Yanchuan picked up the teacup and was about to touch it with him when he suddenly stopped.
Xiao Chengxuan's hand holding the cup tightened slightly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Shen Yanchuan's expression relaxed and returned to normal, and he passed the tea cup forward.
"Nothing. Then I wish His Highness King Qi your wish."
Xiao Chengxuan smiled and said meaningfully: "Actually, the prince should know very well what the king wants most. If the prince is willing to agree, then the prince can really make his wishes come true."
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyelashes slightly, and his dark and calm phoenix eyes remained calm.
"oh?"
Xiao Chengxuan paused for a moment and finally spoke:
"So, I would like to ask one last question: I wonder how the prince has considered what happened before?"
As the words fell, the air around him seemed to condense.
Shen Yanchuan lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was considering how to answer.
Time passes every inch, with a subtle suffocating tension.
at this time! A cold sound broke through the air suddenly!
laugh--!
Shen Yanchuan's eyes were expressionless, and he flipped the tea cup over with his slender jade-like fingers, making a gesture of flying out.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his movements paused for a moment.
In an instant, a familiar girl's voice came through the forest——
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
…
Ye Chutang walked up the steps. As the surrounding scenery gradually overlapped with the dream, her vigilance continued to increase.
She held the hem of her skirt in one hand, and her steps were light and silent.
The distance to the octagonal pavilion became shorter and shorter, and she finally saw the tall and tall figure and the mysterious man sitting opposite Shen Yanchuan.
As he got closer, the man's voice became clearer.
Ye Chutang almost immediately guessed the identity of the visitor - the second prince Xiao Chengxuan!
Covered by trees, Ye Chutang stood there, his eyebrows slightly condensed.
How could it be him?
In my impression, these two people didn't seem to have much interaction, but listening to Xiao Chengxuan's tone at this moment, it seemed...
However, before Ye Chutang could think clearly, the scene that had appeared in his dream was actually played out before his eyes!
Tsk-tsk!
The cold sound of breaking through the air came, carrying the ultimate danger, making people shudder instinctively!
Ye Chutang didn't hesitate and shouted immediately!
——Come here, of course people need to be saved.
Almost at the same time, Shen Yanchuan, who was sitting in the pavilion, also looked back.
It was precisely because of this moment of turning around that the dart narrowly missed his shoulder and pierced the pillar with a "duh" sound!
Xiao Chengxuan suddenly started, and was filled with shock and anger: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly! There is an assassin!"
Hearing his violent shout, the guard waiting in the distance quickly turned around, immediately drew his sword and rushed back.
"Your Highness!"
Yuncheng was a step behind him, and after a brief reaction, he followed closely and rushed towards the pavilion.
laugh--!
Another dart flew, but the direction of this sneak attack was actually different from the previous one.
——There is more than one assassin lying in ambush!
Xiao Chengxuan deliberately chose to wait for Shen Yanchuan here today. He kept a low profile and deliberately brought only one guard with him.
The same is true for Shen Yanchuan.
So now that an accident happened, they only had these two people as their escorts!
Xiao Chengxuan drew out the sword from his waist and held it in front of him. He looked back at Ye Chutang, frowned and asked, "Why is there anyone else here!?"
When did Ye Chutang come? How much did you hear?
Just when Xiao Chengxuan was full of tangles, he saw a tall figure passing quickly in front of his eyes.
Shen Yanchuan had already moved in the direction of Ye Chutang without hesitation, his tone was calm but with a powerful momentum that could not be disobeyed.
"It's not too late to ask these questions later."
Xiao Chengxuan choked, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Shen Yanchuan had left the pavilion and arrived in front of Ye Chutang!
Chichi——!
Several darts were thrust at him, and Xiao Chengxuan had no time to think too much, so he was forced to raise his sword to block.
His guards had also rushed back at this time, standing in front of him, waving their swords, and for a while they could only hear the fierce and clear collision sounds.
The moment Ye Chutang shouted, she knew that she would be exposed, but looking at Shen Yanchuan who suddenly approached her, a thought flashed through her mind.
...Is this man very fast?
Shen Yanchuan didn't know what she was thinking. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the cold wind blowing from behind him, and his expression immediately froze.
He swung a sword with his backhand!
"Stand behind me."
He turned his back and protected Ye Chutang tightly behind him, turning his head and whispering.
