Chapter 5: Suspicion

When Prime Minister Shen heard this, his heart was shocked.

Who gave birth to a daughter not with hard work, and the only wish was not to let her have a good home in the future? At the beginning, Gao climbed the royal family, wasn't it because of the expectation of a glorious lintel?

However, now, with a marriage contract, he pushed his daughter into the fire pit, not to mention that Shen Ruogu was willing to be a moth to the fire, and he was even more to blame as a father.

Unable to withstand Shen Ruogu's offensive, the prime minister waved his hand and sent back irrelevant people.

Shen Ruogu looked at his father's weakness to sit on the embroidery pier, and his expression became a little more unbearable.

Only then did she realize that her father had aged too much since three years ago.

"Sit down." Prime Minister Shen raised his eyes and glanced at it.

Shen Ruogu bit his lip and found a stool.

"Father, all the way from Saibei, my daughter has heard a lot of news about the accession of the Thirteen Princes to the throne and the disappearance of His Royal Highness, is this true?"

Shen Ruogu's voice trembled.

Prime Minister Shen did not deny it, and after a long time, he nodded.

"The thirteen princes ascended the throne as the new emperor, and the ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow."

Shen Ruogu seemed to hear a thunderclap explode in his ears.

"That'...... What about Ling Jue? Shen Ruogu's fists tightened, "Father, you tell me the truth, I don't believe that Ling Jue will disappear!" ”

The prime minister wanted to hide the words, but after seeing Shen Ruogu's firm eyes, he hesitated.

Shen Ruogu has been very smart since he was a child, and he has an extremely keen sense of smell for things, and at this juncture, saying that the eldest prince is missing, how much he wants to cover it up, how can Prime Minister Shen hide it?

"Ruogu, you have been knowledgeable since you were a child, you should know how to weigh the pros and cons, become a king or lose a villain, give you a word of advice for your father, think twice before acting, don't take the life of the whole family because of loneliness." Prime Minister Shen paused.

"My father knows that you have a sincere affection for the eldest prince, but it is not worth burying your future for the sake of a dead person......"

He tried to put it as tactfully as possible, but how could this bitter fact make it less impactful?

Shen Ruogu shook his head, his eyes were sloppy: "Impossible!" Absolutely not! Ling Jue he won't end up like this! Emperor Xiansu came to see him well, and the people also supported him, otherwise he would not have received the task of going to Saibei to clear and suppress! ”

The reason why the first emperor appointed Qin Lingjue to go to Saibei was to let him add meritorious deeds and ascend the throne smoothly.

At this moment, Shen Ruogu's eyes were clear, "Father, I don't believe that the first emperor's last wish was to leave the throne to the thirteen princes!" ”

Shen Ruogu's expression was filled with a terrifying determination.

Prime Minister Shen suddenly felt that he had given birth to a scourge.

"Ruoya, if you are really smart, instead of looking for the truth, you will retreat!"

Shen Ruogu suddenly laughed, "I see, I understand, I understand......"

I don't know what happened during this period, it was originally Qin Lingjue's throne, but it was robbed by Qin Lingxiao, the thirteenth prince, and then Qin Lingxiao preemptively arrested Qin Lingjue to prevent future troubles.

It must be like this!

Prime Minister Shen looked at Shen Ruogu, who was sitting on the ground with blank eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Shen Ruogu guessed well.

When the first emperor died, there were only the great eunuchs Liu Zhong and Shen Chengxiang by his side.

The last wish of the first emperor was to establish the prince Qin Lingjue, who knew that Liu Zhong stopped him from filling it in, and at this time, the thirteenth prince Qin Lingxiao also arrived.

Under pressure, even if Prime Minister Shen hesitated, he had no choice but to tamper with the holy decree.

Originally, Qin Lingjue returned from outside the Saiwai, and the first emperor would make him the prince with the merit of clearing the barbarians.

Who knew that the first emperor would die suddenly, and Qin Ling was absolutely outside the plug, after all, he was a step too late.

Blame him, Qin Ling definitely didn't have this fate.

Prime Minister Shen raised his head and sighed.

If he hadn't been coerced into tampering with the holy decree, he would have been the ruler of the country by now.

At this moment, above the main hall, there is a mess.

A young man in a brocade robe stood with his hands in his hands, a ball of fire between his eyebrows, and everyone fell to the ground and was silent.

The old man with a pink face and white beard hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty is angry, although Qin Lingjue was robbed on the way to execution, but when he was cleaning up outside the Saiwai, he formed a big enmity with Beiqiang, and he must be more than lucky, and the old slave thinks that it is not to worry." ”

This person is the great eunuch Liu Zhong.

He turned around, and his grim face was shrouded in a layer of anger.

"If I don't see his Qin Lingjue's corpse for a day, I won't be at ease for a day! Find, send someone to find me! Even if it turns to ashes, I have to bring it back! ”

Liu Zhong's face moved, and the wrinkles became more and more profound.

"Yes." After answering, he did not retreat.

Qin Lingxiao noticed something unusual, "What else do you have to do?" ”

Liu Zhong looked around, hesitating.

Qin Lingxiao immediately understood, and with a wave of his big hand, he emptied the hall.

At this moment, Liu Zhong opened his mouth to offer advice.

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that Qin Ling's matter can be postponed, and the top priority is Prime Minister Shen."

Qin Lingxiao frowned, "How can you say this." ”

"Your Majesty, don't forget a major event, this Shen Ruogu, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen, had a marriage contract with Qin Ling, and you also saw it that day, Prime Minister Shen was quite hesitant at that time, presumably if it weren't for His Majesty's pressure, who would be willing to give up the throne of the country?"

Liu Zhong made a serious suggestion, but he didn't notice the slight change in Qin Lingxiao's expression when he heard that name.

Qin Lingxiao couldn't help but clench his fists.
