Chapter 15: The Master Behind the Scenes
The weather is getting warmer day by day.
Shen Wenjiang's leg injury healed quickly, and he was already able to move freely.
And after these days of observation, she can probably determine who the master behind her is.
It's just that she didn't have an impression of this person in her previous life, so she shouldn't have made much of a storm before she thought he had made much of a storm.
However, at that time, she was just a little orphan living in Zhennanhou Mansion, and it was common to know it. Then the Zhennan Hou Mansion lost power, she tried to climb up step by step, and finally was in the center of the power of Daqian, and many things only needed to be ordered, and someone would come forward for her.
If your identity is different in this life, what you see and hear will be different.
However, before she could think of a countermeasure, she received an invitation from the master behind the scenes.
"Can you remember?" Hua Qing looked at her with a complicated mood, both worried and wishing that she would lose her words in front of the prince.
Shen Wenjiang's heart was also tight, but his face was silent, and he smiled: "I remember some, but it's not all yet, and I have to trouble you to help solve the siege then." β
Hua Qing snorted coldly as usual, with a very disdainful expression, "Your own business, why do you want me to speak for you?" β
"I've thought about it these days, I'm afraid it's not that simple-" Shen Wenjiang said and looked at Hua Qing, "I've been riding well, and the horse I rode that day is also my usual horse, and it's not the first time I've been there, not to mention that there are still you by my side, how can I be surprised that the horse fell like this?" If it weren't for my life, would I have died? β
"You don't suspect it's me, do you?" Hearing this, Hua Qing's face changed greatly, and she glared angrily.
Shen Wenjiang smiled and shook his head, "No, I know it's not you." β
Hua Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although you don't like me, you won't do anything to me without the prince's orders, so-" Shen Wenjiang seemed to smile, and deliberately didn't say the next words.
Hua Qing seemed to think of something, and her face changed again, "In short, this matter has nothing to do with me, you can check it if you want to." β
"Maybe it really has something to do with you?" Shen Wenjiang stared at her and said slowly.
A hint of panic flashed in Hua Qing's eyes, and she was about to speak.
Shen Wenjiang interrupted her, "Okay, let's talk about this later, let's go see the prince first." With that, he turned around and went into the inner room.
After some side knocks, she had a bottom in her heart.
The incident of Fengzilin is indeed not an accident, but man-made. As for who it is, she can only guess approximately.
But judging by Hua Qing's reaction, eighty percent should be her.
There is no urgency in this matter, the top priority is to pass the prince safely.
She believes that after this temptation, Hua Qing will do her best to speak for herself in front of the prince in order to protect the person she wants to protect.
After a while, she changed into a plain outfit, which was much more low-key than Hua Qing's pink skirt.
Hua Qing's eyes flashed with surprise again.
Shen Wenjiang said: "I said that I would let the prince notice you." β
It is obvious that when she went to see the prince before, she would always dress fancy in order to please her. Now that she suddenly changed her painting style, she told Hua Qing that she didn't want to steal the limelight from her in front of the prince, but in fact, she wanted to change her clothes first, so that the prince could slowly adapt to it.
After all, it is simply impossible to become a completely different person.
Since you can't change yourself, let others change your opinion.
β¦β¦
Although he already had a guess in his heart, when he really saw King Yi of Pingguo, Shen Wenjiang was still a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, this King Yi is not only young, but also very handsome, no wonder he can attract those nymphomaniacs to be loyal to him.
However, with Zhennan Hou Shizi Zhuyu in front, Shen Wenjiang didn't have any feelings for him.
Hua Qing beside her stared at him with burning eyes and stared at him for a moment, and her cheeks were already crimson.
King Yi thought that he was used to seeing the little ladies' admiration for him, so he smiled knowingly, looked at them more and more gently, and pointed to the brocade stool next to them for them to sit on.
Shen Wen Jiang thanked her and sat down generously, feeling Hua Qing tugging her behind her.
Shen Wenjiang pretended not to know.
King Yi, who was making tea, shook his hand, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly returned to his gentle state, and said with a smile: "Hua Qing also sits, there are not so many rules here in this king." β
Hua Qing sat down after thanking him, and when King Yi lowered his head to drink tea, she quickly glanced at Shen Wenjiang.
That look was full of warnings, as if she felt that her move was too disrespectful to the male god in her mind.
Shen Wenjiang thought it was funny, so he really laughed.
This behavior once again stimulated Hua Qing, and the eyes that glanced at her were suddenly full of murderous energy.
King Yi propped his elbows on a few points, held the teacup with his five fingers slightly open and turned it carelessly, and asked in his mouth: "Red Hibiscus, tell this king quickly, how did you guess that the prince of Heguo who was killed by the four princes of Qianguo was fake?" β
Here it comes.
I knew he would ask.
Shen Wenjiang had already prepared, and got up and replied: "Back to the prince, it's like this, my subordinates had a dream a few days ago, although I thought it was absurd, but later I learned that the prince of Heguo was killed, and the situation was somewhat similar to the dream, so I had an idea, and with the idea of trying it out, I wrote letters to King Yuan and Hou Shizi of Zhennan respectively, and the rest of the subordinates did not participate." β
"Ohβwhat kind of dream is that?" King Yi continued to ask her with interest.
Shen Wenjiang pretended to recall for a while before he said: "I don't remember the specific situation very clearly, probably saying that in order to win the trust of the king of the enemy country, a swordsman killed his senior brother and carried a person to accept the name, but the king of the enemy country still did not believe him, and assigned a substitute to meet ......."
"The result?"
"No results." Shen Wenjiang shook his head, his face was a little distressed, "My subordinates are awake." β
"Then how do you know that the body of the stand-in is buried in the ancestral grave of the Ji family?"
"The subordinates also guessed. Although this Shuofeng Island looks big, there are not many places where the corpse can be hidden, and it is undoubtedly a very safe way to throw it into the sea, but the ancestral tomb of the Ji family, which is regarded as a forbidden place for outsiders, is also very reliable. β
Hua Qing on the side only found a chance to speak at this time, "You are too risky, no wonder you refused to tell me the truth at that time." β
Shen Wenjiang turned to look at her, "At that time, I only thought that if the matter was completed, I would be able to quickly get acquainted with the crown prince, the fourth prince and the prince of Zhennan, which would be too beneficial to the prince's plan." β
King Yi's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, "You are so sure, then the prince of Zhennan will believe you?" β
"My subordinates don't know." Shen Wenjiang's face suddenly turned pale, he looked at King Yi with some trepidation, and said timidly: "Lord Wang, did your subordinates do something wrong?" As he spoke, he knelt down and pleaded guilty.
King Yi waved his hand, and the smile on his face was put away at some point, "It's not wrong...... At least it was done. β
Shen Wenjiang hurriedly stroked his chest and exhaled, with a scared look on his face, "Lord Wang, no matter what, your subordinates have made mistakes, please punish them." β
Hua Qing also took the opportunity to reprimand: "You still know that you are wrong, and you didn't listen to any persuasion you at that time." β
King Yi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, his eyes glanced at Hua Qing, and his tone suddenly turned cold, "There is a difference between respect and inferiority, Hua Qing, do you still remember your identity?" β
