Chapter 423: Gains and Losses
Mrs. Xiang died like this, and it was spread out, not necessarily because Prince Rong killed his mother, but because he Chen Xiang conspired to kill him! This is Mrs. Xiang's good intentions.
When I returned to Chen Guogong's mansion, it was already ugly. Chen Xiang was tired, and saw Shen Liancheng coming over from a distance.
"How? Is everything going well? Shen Liancheng approached, not without anxiety or worry, and asked, "Mrs. Xiang...... He's dead? ”
"Dead." Chen Xiang replied, "Dying under the sword of Prince Rong should be suicide." ”
"Suicide?" Shen Liancheng was shocked, not because of an accident, but because Mrs. Xiang chose to die like this, which meant too many possibilities.
"What you said earlier is right, Mrs. Xiang is actually waiting for death." Chen Xiang's face was calm, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, unable to hide the uneasiness in his heart. "All along, she has been waiting for such a suitable time, an opportunity to wake up Prince Rong."
Shen Liancheng quickly figured out what Chen Xiang meant. She couldn't help but feel empty in her heart, and took his words: "We have eliminated this one enemy today, but there are countless more enemies. What the hell is ...... A lost battle. ”
If Prince Ruorong was finally "woken up" by Mrs. Xiang, it can be said that it was Chen Xiang who killed Mrs. Xiang today. can even be said more touchingly, so that all the forces left by Mrs. Xiang during her lifetime will become his strength and help him win the throne.
"That's fine." Shen Liancheng suddenly thought about it from a different angle, and his heart was a little more relaxed. She took Chen Xiang's hand, raised her eyes to look at him carefully, and said with relief: "In this way, you can also let go of all your illusions about Prince Rong." Fortunately, from the very beginning, I regarded Prince Rong as a thorn in the flesh. In such a situation, there is a clear distinction between friend and foe, and it is not bad. ”
"Actually, I'm just guessing......" Chen Xiang still had the last glimmer of hope, "Prince Rong, he may not follow Madam Xiang's will." ”
Shen Liancheng couldn't help frowning. She was very helpless about Chen Xiang's expectations for Prince Rong. But she opened her mouth, but swallowed back what she wanted to say.
She thought that as long as she went through this matter, it would be good for Chen Xiang to take precautions against Prince Rong. As for whether Prince Rong will be rebellious next, then only time will tell.
She just knew that she could no longer rest assured that she would hand over the Great Zhou world to Prince Rong Yu Wenyan. And the kind of life she and Chen Xiang thought about with idle clouds and wild cranes can only be met in dreams.
That's it! Heaven has made them live a new life, not so that they can do nothing but have fun every day. If you don't work for the people of the world, how can you be worthy of God's "love"?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Xiang didn't know what she was thinking, so he naturally asked.
"Nothing." Shen Liancheng smiled and took Chen Xiang's hand, but he looked relaxed, walked in the direction of Shi'anju, and said, "It's not too early, if you don't sleep for a while, the sky will be bright." ”
Seeing that Shen Liancheng was so relieved and did not go to his heart because of this "failure", Chen Xiang's mood was also relaxed.
He squeezed her hand tighter, looked sideways and asked, "Don't you regret it?" We have done so many things, and it is very likely that we have all paved the way for Prince Rong, and we have caused a fishy smell ourselves. ”
Shen Liancheng smiled and said, "Compared to this, I am more afraid of Mrs. Xiang and Prince Rong working together. You think, Mrs. Xiang had that kind of ability when she was young, it must be not simple. Xue Houye also said that if she was a man, she could even compete with my grandfather. If such a person conspires with Prince Rong, can we be their opponents? ”
"There's some truth to what you say." Chen Xiang also smiled, "In this way, we are not defeated in this battle." It's just a pity ......"
It's a pity that Prince Rong, who he has always been optimistic about, can't be fully trusted now. It's a pity that the infant Son of Heaven, as well as this world, currently seems to have no suitable candidate to entrust except him and his Aman.
"What a pity?" Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Liancheng couldn't help asking.
Chen Xiang paused, looked at her and said, "It's a pity that you and I have to fight endlessly in this chaotic situation, and I don't know when we will be the head." ”
"You......" Shen Liancheng stretched out his hand, rolled up a strand of ink hair in front of his chest, wrapped it around his fingers, and gently stroked his cheeks, drawing his beautiful eyebrows, "As long as you and I are together every day, we can't be separated no matter what, so why be afraid of the wind and clouds and entanglements in the chaos?" ”
Chen Xiang took her into his arms and sighed: "I don't want you to be scared with me." I miss you, and our children, living a happy and carefree life every day. ”
"I'm not as scared as you think." Shen Liancheng said, "I, I the heart of the Son of Heaven with you every day, and I think that as long as it is for the good of the people, I will enjoy it." ”
Listening to her words, Chen Xiang also began to joke, "In the end, it is the granddaughter of my grandfather-in-law, although she is a wife and mother, she does not forget to worry about the country and the people." ”
Under the bright moonlight, Shen Liancheng smiled like a flower.
The two of them were close together, talking and laughing, while stepping on such a moonlight, deep down, they really got a kind of peace, enough to forget all the troubles in the current situation.
The next day, the news of Mrs. Xiang's death spread. As for how she died, and why she died, there are different opinions.
The Wang family, Wang Chongjing came back from outside and brought the news to Shen Ruxiu.
"Ah Xiu, I'm glad you listened to me and didn't stay with Mrs. Xiang! She died last night! He was almost startled and told Shen Ruxiu what he had heard from outside.
"Dead? How did a good guy die? When Shen Ruxiu heard this, her heart was beating hard, and she didn't know if she was too surprised, or she was afraid that she would almost listen to Mrs. Xiang's words and betray Shen Liancheng.
"The news from Prince Rong's mansion is that he has suddenly contracted a vicious disease." Wang Chongjing said, "But there are people talking about this matter outside, some say that last night I saw Chen Guogong and people besiege the Rongxin Palace, and some said that there was a shout of killing in Prince Rong's Mansion, and some people said that Mrs. Xiang committed suicide...... Say anything! But I don't think it's a suicide, and it's not a sudden illness. This matter must be related to the Chen Guogong Mansion. ”
"It must be." Shen Ruxiu held on to the table and sat down a little unpossessed, "Otherwise, Shen Aman would not let me deal with Mrs. Xiang's people in the business field." Shen Aman, they must have already had the intention of getting rid of Mrs. Xiang. It's just that Prince Rong would not allow them to mutilate his mother? ”
"Isn't Prince Rong at odds with his mother?" Wang Chongjing guessed, "Maybe this matter has nothing to do with him!" In any case, Ah Xiu, you can be regarded as having escaped. ”
Shen Ruxiu nodded, and her heartbeat like a drum gradually calmed down.
