Ulterior motives (3)

Shen Wan was suspicious in her heart, looked around, and saw that the guards were not there, she held Wang Feng's sword, and asked in a slowed tone as much as possible: "I don't know what happened when the master came at this time?" ”

Master Qiao looked at her, and suddenly took a step back, knelt on one knee, and lowered his head.

Shen Wan was taken aback: "Master, ...... are you?"

Master Qiao said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Wechen met Her Royal Highness the Princess, Wechen has waited for so many years, and finally waited for His Highness to grow up, and finally waited for His Highness to give birth to the bloodline of the Xiao family!" ”

Shen Wan's heart slowly cooled, and she said leisurely: "Since you know my identity and know that Zhao'er is my child, then, why did you attack us on our way back to Beijing, or even kill us?" ”

Master Qiao's head drooped lower, and he said with guilt: "Your Royal Highness the princess forgives me, Wei Chen didn't know at that time, and he didn't know that it was Her Royal Highness the princess and the little master in the carriage, if Wei Chen knew, he would definitely not deal with His Royal Highness and the little master!" ”

Shen Wan took a deep breath and said, "I guess it's probably the case, after all, the master and I have the right master and apprentice, even if it is for a certain purpose, I guess I won't go on a killing spree, not to mention that when you see the Wang Feng Sword in my hand, you immediately stop and leave!" She raised her hand to help him up and asked, "Your target that time, is it me and Zhao'er, or Chu Xichen!" ”

Master Qiao said truthfully: "We have two goals, one is to kill Chu Xichen, and the other is to ...... Get rid of Your Highness and Little Master! He glanced at Shen Wan with some regret, and said: "My subordinates said that someone knows that Chu Xichen is not in the palace, but on the way back to Beijing, but that person's condition is,!" ”

Shen Wan said coldly: "Her condition must be to kill me and Zhao'er, and she must not let us return to the palace safely, right?" ”

Master Qiao nodded and asked, "Your Highness knows who it is!" ”

Shen Wan sneered and said, "Have you seen that person's face?" ”

Master Qiao shook his head and said: "No, she used to let a maid come to me, and then failed, although she came to find it herself, but she was wearing a cloak and a veil, what is certain is that it is a woman, a young woman, talking, with a pure Beijing film!" ”

Shen Wan turned around, stood with her hands in her hands, and said coldly: "I probably know who it is!" ”

Master Qiao said hatefully: "That woman framed His Highness so much, so that Wechen almost injured His Highness and the little master, it is really hateful, at that time, Wechen should have killed her, since His Highness knows who it is, it is better to tell Wechen, Wechen will help His Highness get rid of this big trouble!" ”

Shen Wan shook her head, and said leisurely: "It's too cheap to get rid of her like this, if she dies like this, she will definitely be buried as a concubine, her family will be prosperous and rich, and her children will also be favored by the emperor!" ”

"Her child!" Master Qiao asked puzzledly: "Doesn't Chu Xichen value His Royal Highness and the little master very much?" ”

Shen Wan sighed: "It's important, but it's also precautionary!" She looked up at the cold moonlight and smiled bitterly: "Because my surname is Xiao, there are too many people loyal to the Xiao family behind me!" She didn't say it explicitly, since Chu Xichen suspected that she was conspiring with Xiao Wumian, she had naturally begun to guard against herself, and now she still needed Xiao Wumian, the naval infantry needed to fight against the Western Kingdom, so Xiao Wumian was safe, but once she captured the Western Kingdom, she would only be killed by rabbits and dogs, so what about herself? She already felt that even if she didn't kill herself, Zhao'er and the throne would have nothing to do.

Master Qiao said firmly: "Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen will definitely help His Highness to let the little master ascend to the throne and restore my Xiao family's world!" ”

Sure enough! Shen Wan smiled bitterly, once Zhao'er succeeded to the throne, would these diehards of the southern kingdom have the same idea as Xiao Wumian and want Zhao'er to change his surname to Xiao?

Her thoughts were confused again, and she faintly heard someone's footsteps, and Shen Wan whispered, "Hurry up!" ”

"Your Highness, take care!" Master Qiao jumped onto the roof and quietly disappeared into the night.

It was Chun'er who came, she saw Shen Wan standing in the courtyard, still holding a sword in her hand, she was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Is something wrong with Niangniang?" ”

Shen Wan smiled: "It's okay, I can't sleep, get up and practice swords!" ”

Chun'er sighed reassuringly: "Today, the mother is serving in the Qiangong Palace, if you don't sleep well at night, how can you take care of the emperor during the day?" Mother, go back to sleep! ”

Shen Wan smiled and said, "Okay, you are becoming more and more like your sister Xiangming, very verbose!" ”

What was Chun'er just going to say? Shen Wan hurriedly walked into the house and sighed: "I'm so sleepy, I'm sleeping!" Chun'er had no choice but to shut up and follow her in.

On the second day, Shen Wan went to the Qiangong to see Xichen as usual for the first time, and through the curtain, she saw that Xichen was reviewing the folds, and when she walked in, Xichen closed the folds and put them aside.

Shen Wan put away the faint loss in her heart, the sweetest smile on her lips, Xichen was stunned for a moment, and also showed a rare smile.

"It is a blessing for the people that the emperor has been diligent in political affairs so early, but the emperor should also pay attention to his body!" She walked over and sat down beside him, looked him in the eye and said.

Xichen squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "I can't go to court now, the folds are almost piled up, and Sanzai will come later, and there will be no time!" ”

Shen Wan asked softly, "Have you taken the medicine?" ”

"Yes!" Xichen smiled: "You have to worry about these things sooner or later, what about Zhao'er?" ”

"What about Qingyue taking him to play? He doesn't like to sleep now, if the emperor wants to see him, I'll let Qingyue bring it over to the emperor! ”

"It's good!"

Shen Wan glanced at Chun'er, Chun'er understood, and went back to let Qingyue hold Zhao'er, Chu Xichen took it and played with it for a while, Shen Wan stared at him and said, "Can the concubine ask the emperor for a favor!" ”

Xichen was happy and said, "Just say!" ”

Shen Wan waved her hand to let the rest of them retreat, and said solemnly: "The concubine thinks that Zhao'er can have the grace of the first emperor to the six kings!" ”

The six kings Chu cherished the Qing Dynasty, did not want to stick to the royal family, toured all day long, and rarely returned to the palace.

Xichen was stunned and looked at Shen Wan in surprise, but Shen Wan was full of sincerity and did not hesitate.

"Why!" Xichen asked in surprise.

Shen Wan smiled and said, "For you and me, for ...... World! ”

Xichen looked at her, and then looked down at the inexplicable Zhao'er, and there was a sudden infinite pain in his heart, when he saw Zhao'er for the first time, Zhao'er looked at him with black eyes, and as now, with inexplicable curiosity.

If Zhao'er is bleeding, it is not Xiao's blood......

Xichen frowned suddenly, covered his chest, and Shen Wan hurriedly grabbed his hand: "What, it hurts again, do you want to call the imperial doctor!" ”

"No, Sanzai is coming, take Zhao'er back!"

Shen Wan wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything, and retreated with Zhao'er in her arms.
