Listening to his tone, it seems that he is suppressing some kind of emotion.

Shen Lanying was slightly stunned, just such a simple sentence had already moved her and didn't know what to say, she leaned on Sikong Yan's chest and chuckled, "Where am I so stupid, with so many hidden weapons, where is it so easy to have an accident." ”

Sikong Yan didn't seem to listen to her words, hugged Shen Lanying a little tighter, and said in a low voice, "Next time there is such a thing, I won't let you take risks again." ”

Sikong Yan knew that if she asked Shen Lanying to see the prince, with her ability, even if she really encountered danger, she could successfully get out. Moreover, it stands to reason that the crown prince will not be unfavorable to Princess Zhaoying.

But this was just his speculation, he didn't even know the prince's intention, and he was not 100% sure that Shen Lanying's trip was not dangerous at all.

At first, he thought that this trip was ninety percent safe, so he let Shen Lanying go. But after seeing that Shen Lanying was introduced into Fengyun Pavilion, he gradually lost his breath. Even he didn't expect that the mood of waiting for her to come out outside would be so restless.

Seeing her walk out of the Fengyun Pavilion, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but found that her pace was a little slow, completely different from the previous briskness.

She looked like she was frightened. Sikong Yan regretted letting her go to the crown prince more and more, and vowed not to leave her alone with unpredictable risks.

"Puff......" Shen Lanying couldn't help laughing, curious about how long Sikong Yan's nervous state would last, she gently pushed Sikong Yan away and handed him the token given by the prince.

Sikong Yan said in surprise, "Desheng Qianzhuang?"

Shen Lanying nodded, "The prince said that he was sorry for the Sikong family, so he gave this money to Princess Zhaoying." Then again, do you know it's the prince's property?"

"Hmm. Sikong Yan showed a thoughtful look, "Desheng Qianzhuang has a relationship with many small merchants, the prince gave us Desheng Qianzhuang, but those industries are still in his own hands." It's easy to spy on new operators. ”

Shen Lanying was stunned for a moment, a little unable to react, she originally thought that the prince was virtuous and kind, but listening to Sikong Yan's analysis, she suddenly felt that scheming was the true attribute of the prince.

Shen Lanying couldn't help but worry, "Then what should we do?"

Sikong Yan put away the token and smiled, "I'm afraid of what he does, he can't even tell if his sister is real or fake." ”

Wow, that makes sense. But how does she think it's her good acting skills?

From Sikong Yan's tone, Shen Lanying could hear his disgust for the former prince. Puzzled, he asked, "Since you have a grudge against the prince, why do you want to let him go?"

Sikong Yan touched his chin and thought for a while, then asked, "How do you know that I have a grudge against him?"

Shen Lanying rolled her eyes, "You almost wrote the words 'hate the prince' on your face, I can't see it?"

"We do have a grudge. Sikong Yan smiled, his eyes became dark, "Three years ago, I took my sister back to the capital, Jiang Yuhan's carriage hit and injured her, he knew that he hit someone, but he didn't rescue him, I wasn't there at that time, and I didn't find it in time." Yaoyao's injuries were not fatal, but because there was no one to rescue her, she bled until she died on a rainy night. ”

Listening to Sikong Yan's words, Shen Lanying choked in her heart and couldn't say a word. Sikong Yan never told others about his thoughts, Shen Lanying only knew that his previous experience was not much better, but he never thought that he had lost such an important person.

When the storytellers in the Jingcheng Teahouse talked about Sikong Yan, they would always mention that he almost never interacted with the people of the Sikong family, and the brothers and sisters couldn't say a word for a year, except for one person, that is, Sikong Yao. Sikong Yao was also unpopular in Sikong Mansion, and later Sikong Yan simply took her out of Sikong House, and the girl never appeared in front of the world again.

Shen Lanying never expected that Sikong Yao had died three years ago, and it was due to the prince's reckless disregard for human life.

Shen Lanying didn't know how to comfort Sikong Yan, so she could only gently hold his hand.

Sikong Yan shook his head and signaled to Shen Lanying that he was fine, "It's all in the past, I decided not to kill Jiang Yuhan, but I have already looked down on this matter." At first, I wanted to kill him and avenge Yaoyao. But later I learned that Emperor Hui was going to kill the crown princess that day, and Jiang Yuhan was in a hurry to rush back to the house to save people. The thought of killing him faded. ”

What a mess this is, why does Emperor Hui still want to kill the crown princess. Shen Lanying suddenly remembered that framing the prince for forcing the palace was originally the idea of the second prince. She never understood why the second prince had such a plan, but now she understands that the prince really has a motive to kill.

Sikong Yan sighed, "In the end, it's because I didn't protect her, there were too many things that happened that day, Concubine Yuan died of illness, I took Xu'er into the palace, and left Yaoyao alone in the post house, I didn't expect someone to trick her out." ”

Hearing Sikong Yan talk about this, Shen Lanying felt an indescribable sadness in her heart, she shook Sikong Yan's hand again, but unexpectedly, Sikong Yan directly withdrew her hand, and pinched her chin, raised her face, and said in an extremely unhappy tone, "Hey, I told you this to satisfy your curiosity, can you not have a sympathetic expression?"

“……”

Well, it's her fault, she shouldn't feel sorry for Sikong Yan, this careerist is not worth feeling sorry for at all.

Shen Lanying said expressionlessly, "Okay, from now on, I will remain expressionless, you continue." ”

Sikong Yan still disliked Shen Lanying's attitude, but continued according to his words, "Yaoyao grew up with Xu'er, and the relationship between the two is very good. When I found Yaoyao, I only listened to her last words, which was to ask me to assist Xu'er in the position. ”

Shen Lanying said firmly, "There must be no problem, the fifth prince will definitely become a generation of Ming monarchs." ”

"Hmm. Sikong Yan nodded, and no longer mentioned his sister's matter, "There is another reason to pull Jiang Yuhan down from the position of the crown prince, and that is the Sikong family." ”

Shen Lanying was puzzled, "Isn't the Sikong family a princeling?"

Sikong Yan nodded, "Yes, when Jiang Yuhan was still the prince, he received a lot of help from the Sikong family. The formation of cavalry, the co-optation of courtiers, and the establishment of private industries all required a large amount of money, and these financial resources came from the support of the Sikong family. At that time, the queen was still alive, and the second prince was not very old, and he did not have such a strong sense of rights as now, so the Sikong family helped Jiang Yuhan to the position of the crown prince and never suffered any resistance. ”
