070 The Empress of the Kingdom (22)

After helping Xuanyuan Zichen put on her clothes, Shen Mengdie's mood calmed down, she pulled the other party's palm, and asked distressedly: "Why are you injured?" ”

"Two days ago, I received a report that I found a group of bandits of unknown origin, and when I took someone to check, I encountered a surprise attack from the other party, so I ......" Xuanyuan Zichen didn't say the latter words, but Shen Mengdie also roughly guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

Recently, more and more people have come to visit her at the Shen family, and judging from the news she has gotten, the battle between the princes has begun to turn from dark to light, and there are not a few people who want to pull her into this battle, and for her who doesn't know the forces in Beijing, this is undoubtedly a big gamble, or the kind that depends on luck. If the Shen family chooses the right side in the battle for the throne this time, it will undoubtedly go to the next level, but if it is wrong, the century-old foundation of the Shen family will be ruined.

Faced with the current situation, she didn't know what to do for a while.

When Shen Mengdie thought about all this clearly, she looked at the other party's doting eyes and asked with some puzzlement: "In that case, why is the news that you are seriously injured and in danger spread in Kyoto?" ”

"At present, the situation between the DPRK and China is not peaceful, and all forces are keeping an eye on the half of the soldiers and horses in my hands.

"Then you have to pay more attention to safety."

"It's not been peaceful outside lately, so you might as well move to the palace and close the door with me in the near future."

Faced with Xuanyuan Zichen's proposal, Shen Mengdie was also a little tempted for a while, just because there were too many people who had come to the Shen family's garden recently, so many that she couldn't avoid it.

"Okay." Although it is a bit impolite for a single woman to enter someone else's home and live in the eyes of others, as a quasi-princess, she does not have the psychology of a woman in this era, and others dare not chew the tongue of the palace.

"Now I have only wronged you, and the wedding date has to be postponed." Xuanyuan Zichen rested his chin on the other party's shoulder and whispered in her ear.

"I'm okay, as long as you're okay." Regarding the postponement of the marriage, Shen Mengdie has the mentality of procrastinating as long as she can, although she understands that her behavior is a little selfish, but if she wants to reject the other party strongly, it is something that can never be done.

After the two discussed, Shen Mengdie decided to do it according to the other party's arrangement, so in the following days, no matter how chaotic it was outside, the two of them did not have too much communication with people from other forces.

It wasn't until Shen Mengdie received a message from her confidant that she knew that the Shen family had a side line to enter Beijing, but without her knowledge, she took refuge under the command of the third prince on behalf of the Shen family. Faced with this situation, Shen Mengdie had to make a move to clean up the portal, and at the same time, the right prime minister also repeatedly sent people to Prince Li's mansion to ask to see Xuanyuan Zichen.

Shen Mengdie felt the tense situation now, and felt anxious in her heart.

"Lord Wang, the right prime minister came to the door to ask to see."

Following the announcement of the grand butler of the palace, Xuanyuan Zichen waved his hand to the butler after pondering for a moment. "Invite people in."

"Yes."

Looking at the housekeeper who was going away, Shen Mengdie approached Xuanyuan Zichen's side and asked, "Zichen, what do you think Prime Minister Right is here for?" ”

"Hmm...... It's supposed to win me over, but we'll have to wait for more details. ”

"Then I'll go and avoid it later."

"Yes, go ahead."

After getting Xuanyuan Zichen's approval, Shen Mengdie walked into the screen on the side, and soon after finding a chair and sitting down, she heard footsteps outside.

"Wechen meets Prince Li."

"The right prime minister is polite, please take a seat." After Xuanyuan Zichen glanced at the chief housekeeper, he retreated with all the people who were waiting here.

"Thank you, Prince Li." After the right prime minister bowed respectfully, he straightened his robe and sat down on the seat of the lower head.

"I don't know what the right prime minister came to call today?"

"Weichen came here today because of a reluctant request, and I hope that the prince will atone for his sins."

"Oh, I don't know what?"

"Now the court is surging, and all forces are seeking to seize the throne. Weichen is courageous, and hopes that Prince Li can sit on the country. When the right prime minister said this, he looked at Xuanyuan Zichen with some shock, he understood that if he couldn't persuade Prince Li today, what was waiting for him would be a big crime of raiding the family and destroying the clan.

After Xuanyuan Zichen listened to the right prime minister's remarks, he just tapped his fingers on the table in silence, and the crisp sound of his fingers hitting the table top was like a hammer hitting the right prime minister's heart.

Just when the right prime minister was worried about his future, Xuanyuan Zichen finally stopped his contemplative movements, and after squinting his eyes slightly and scanning the other party up and down for a moment, he saw that the right prime minister couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and he finally spoke: "The right prime minister, please go back today." ”

"Prince Li, you ......" The right prime minister couldn't see through Prince Li's thoughts for a while.

"Someone, send off." No matter what doubts Prime Minister Right has, Xuanyuan Zichen is not ready to answer now.

Shen Mengdie sat behind the screen, and after listening to all the things that happened, she sighed deeply in her heart. After stepping out of the screen, he saw Xuanyuan Zichen looking at the door silently.

"Zichen, what do you think the right prime minister means?"

Xuanyuan Zichen frowned and pondered for a moment before replying. "The left and right prime ministers have always been at odds, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the right prime minister should be looking for someone to take refuge in."

"And what are you going to do?"

"Let's talk about it again." For the current form, Xuanyuan Zichen didn't want to get involved too much, although he had seen the dark side of the royal family when he was a child, and his father also intended to enthrone himself back then, but there are no absolutes in the world. From his name, you can understand the intention of the first emperor, Chen: The king, and now it is time for him to make a choice.

Soon after, the battle became more and more fierce, and the competition that was originally above the court gradually spread to the people. All kinds of frame-up and assassination incidents emerged one after another, and today's saints are seriously ill for some reason, and all kinds of rumors spread for a while.

Xuanyuan Zichen had to secretly send troops to Kyoto, and at the same time plant his own spies in the palace. After Shen Mengdie said that she was standing with Xuanyuan Zichen, the number of people who invited her to join her forces gradually decreased, while the number of people who were on guard against assassination began to increase.

It wasn't until she met the man in black who was murdering in full view of everyone when she went out to work, that Xuanyuan Zichen no longer let her act alone. Regarding the affairs of the court, Shen Mengdie felt that she could only watch it, and she was very frustrated that she could not help Xuanyuan Zichen.
