"So that's the case..."Xiao Ciyu made a sudden appearance, as if he had a general understanding of the impact that the Shen family had been affected in the past few years.

However, his question did not stop because of Shen Lanxi's answer.

After a pause, he turned his eyes to look at Shen Cangxu again: "In addition to what Lan Xi said, has the Shen family encountered any other trouble?" ”

"This..."Shen Cangxu, who couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts, was in a dilemma. After a long while, he continued: "There are indeed some influences, but apart from what Lan Xi said, nothing else. ”

It's the same as if you didn't say it.

But Xiao Ciyu didn't care, and when he heard him say this, he nodded: "It's okay if there's nothing else, what I said before is still under control." ”

"Your Majesty means control...?" Shen Cangxu, who was blindsided by two unexpected questions in a row, felt that he seemed to have grasped the point!

Control? What does Your Majesty want to control?

Could it be that it is the influence of controlling the Shi family's affairs on the Shen family?

When he first thought of this, a sense of absurdity suddenly rose from the bottom of Shen Cangxu's heart.

How could a king of a country care about this?

But when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Shen Lanxi next to him, he suddenly felt that the idea he had just now was not impossible!

His Majesty's attitude towards Shen Lanxi, he sees it in his eyes, if the control influence he refers to is not for the Shen family but for Shen Lanxi, then the matter... It makes sense!

Seeing that Shen Cangxu's struggling gaze revealed a little understanding, Xiao Ciyu quietly hooked the corners of his mouth because of the darkness. 67

At the same time, he also said appropriately: "I think Shen Aiqing also understands that I hope Lan Xi can go further in the palace. She can afford a higher position herself, but..."

After a pause, Xiao Ciyu showed a little embarrassment at the right time: "The fact that her biological mother is from the Shi family is an unavoidable knot on this road." ”

"It's... Chancellor understood. Shen Cangxu nodded again and again, "The affairs of the Shi family have indeed affected Lan Xi a lot. ”

He felt that he had guessed the purpose of the emperor's question, so when he answered, his tone naturally smoothed out.

As soon as he heard Shen Cangxu's words become smooth, Xiao Ciyu became more sure that this person had taken the bait.

Coming to this point is only a few words, so he is not in a hurry.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he began to gradually reveal his purpose in the casual conversation: "When the Shi family had an accident, I was only about fifteen. At that time, it happened to be the time when I was training in the military camp, so I really didn't know much about it. ”

As he spoke, he frowned and looked at Shen Cangxu again: "As half of the parties, Shen Aiqing should know a lot about this, right?" Tell me about it? ”

The emperor said, of course Shen Cangxu couldn't say that he didn't know.

But Shen Lanxi sat next to him, severely reprimanding the Shi family, shouting that it didn't matter.

After thinking about it, he could only say first: "Actually... Because of some conflicts between Lan Xi's mother and her mother's family, the relationship between the Shen family and the Shi family is not very close. ”

After making his position clear, he said with confidence: "The minister only knows that a few days after the Shi family was sentenced to a serious crime, he was beheaded all over the house. Because things are going so fast, there are quite a few people who haven't even reacted too much. ”

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Shen Lanxi again: "Lanxi's mother was also hit hard by this incident at that time, and not long after, she became seriously ill. ”

"Because of excessive sadness?" Xiao Ciyu raised his eyebrows, "If it's just like this, it won't be gone in just over a year, right?" ”
