Chapter 171: Are You Saying She's Stupid?
After Shen Qingyang was taken down, Shen De was not in the mood to stay longer, so he went back to the camp directly.
Even the emperor left, and the others naturally had no need to stay any longer, so they dispersed one after another.
Shen Changge also turned around and prepared to go back to the camp, but when she saw Shen Yiqing following her, she stopped in confusion.
"Uncle Huang, what are you doing with me?"
"I have nothing to do, I want to go to the prince's place for a cup of tea."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Shen Changge was a little speechless: "Okay...... Well, Uncle Huang, please. ”
In his heart, he couldn't help but secretly slander himself, didn't he have tea in his tent? I have to go to her for tea!
After returning to the camp, Shen Changge asked the palace people to serve tea.
"Uncle Huang, you drink tea." Personally put a cup of tea in front of Shen Yiqing, she said with a smile.
Shen Yiqing bowed slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, his expression was indifferent, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
And just as Shen Changge was hesitating, whether he should say something, Xiang Yong's voice came from outside the tent.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have something to report."
"Come in."
As soon as the words fell, Xiang Yong opened the curtain, strode in front of the two, and saluted the two respectfully.
"What's the report?" Shen Yiqing asked indifferently.
Xiang Yong clasped his hands into fists and replied respectfully: "The prince ordered his subordinates to go to the paddock to find Lu Qihuai's whereabouts, but his subordinates were incompetent and failed to find Lu Qihuai, but his subordinates found a corpse. ”
"A corpse? What's going on? Before Shen Yiqing could speak, Shen Changge asked suspiciously, "Xiang Yong, do you know what the identity of that corpse is?" ”
Although it was beyond her expectation that Uncle Huang sent Xiang Yong to find Lu Qihuai, what surprised her the most at the moment was the corpse.
"Back to Your Highness." Xiang Yong said, "The subordinates don't know the man, but the man is dressed as a guard, presumably a guard who entered the paddock during the hunt. ”
Shen Changge frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Even if there is a possibility of an accident during the hunt, it won't be like a guard who dies and no one finds out, right?" How did the man die? ”
"Someone sneak attacked, a knife from the back is fatal."
"In this way, it is not an accident, but deliberate." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Shen Yiqing, "Uncle Huang, what do you think?" ”
"Naturally, it was done on purpose, but, who killed it?" Shen Yiqing said in a deep voice, frowning slightly.
Shen Changge also felt confused and clueless.
With one hand around her chest and the other rubbing her chin, she thought with a solemn expression, always feeling that this thing was unusual, and inexplicably felt that it had something to do with her.
But where this feeling came from, and why it did, even she couldn't tell.
She carefully recalled the events of the day, until she remembered what had happened when she returned to the camp after the hunt, and she suddenly thought of something, and showed a look of surprise.
"Is it ......?"
"What did the prince think?"
Shen Changge subconsciously moved closer to Shen Yiqing, his expression was serious, and his clear peach blossom eyes stared at him for a moment, which actually made Shen Yiqing a little uncomfortable.
But Shen Changge didn't notice his strange appearance, and said: "Uncle Huang, I felt a little strange just now, when we returned to the camp from hunting, I mentioned that someone had assassinated me, and at that time I found that the fourth prince was acting very weakly, so I was so suspicious of him." ”
Shen Yiqing did not speak, but nodded cooperatively.
After receiving his response, Shen Changge continued: "However, when the assassin came forward to testify against the fourth prince, he vigorously denied it, and insisted that he had not instructed the assassin, and he did not have the slightest weakness during the period. At that time, I wondered why the Four Princes reacted like that. ”
She paused for a moment before continuing: "But because the assassin insisted that it was the Fourth Prince's order, I didn't think much about it, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid that there is something else hidden in this matter. ”
Shen Yiqing immediately understood what she meant: "In your opinion, the fourth prince did send someone to assassinate you, so when you mentioned that someone assassinated you, he would be so weak-hearted, but the person he sent was not the assassin you saw, but ...... The corpse found in the paddock? ”
"I'm not sure, it's just my guess and feeling, after all, the death of a guard doesn't necessarily have something to do with me, maybe the guard himself made an enemy." Shen Changge spread his hands.
"The king agrees with your conjecture." Shen Yiqing said slowly, "The fourth prince is brave and unscrupulous, if the assassin was really instructed by him, he would definitely behave very weakly at that time, and he would never refute it with such a resolute attitude." ”
"Uncle Huang, you have long seen that the assassin has nothing to do with the four princes?"
Shen Yiqing nodded.
“……”
Shen Changge suddenly felt some sympathy for Shen Qingyang.
She had always believed that the assassin was instigated by the Four Princes, and it was only now that she was a little suspicious.
But Uncle Huang had already seen it, but he let this pot fall on the head of the fourth prince.
"In this way, isn't the fourth prince wronged by us?"
"Where did he get wronged? He didn't instigate the assassin, but he also had the heart to kill you, didn't he? ”
“……”
She was speechless.
After a moment of silence, she said again, "I'm not speaking for the Fourth Prince, but I still want to catch the real mastermind behind that assassin." ”
"Prince." Shen Yiqing glanced at her and said slowly, "This king thought that you were quite smart, but now it seems that ......"
Shen Changge was stunned, and immediately became angry: "Uncle Huang, what do you mean by this?" Are you calling me stupid? ”
"Isn't it?" Shen Yiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke neatly.
Even the corners of his mouth seemed to have a faint smile.
"We're talking about the Four Princes, why do you suddenly call me stupid? Where am I stupid? Shen Changge was so angry that he glared at him dissatisfied.
The smile on the corner of Shen Yiqing's lips deepened, and even the deep phoenix eyes were dyed with a soft smile.
"If the assassin was not instructed by the Four Princes, then who else is suspicious? Who wants to murder you, and wants to borrow your hand against the four princes? ”
Shen Changge was stunned, and instantly understood: "The eldest prince?!" ”
"Looks like it's not too stupid."
Shen Changge: "......"
She admits that she was really stupid this time, right?
"I really didn't see that the eldest prince was hiding so deeply, and wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and deal with me and the fourth prince at the same time?"
Shen Changge said indignantly: "But it's a pity that it was the fourth prince who was punished this time, but the eldest prince is still at ease. Moreover, after this incident, the contradiction between me and the fourth prince will only deepen, which is more worthy of the eldest prince. ”
If it weren't for the fact that the Four Princes had behaved very weakly before, and the assassin insisted on the Four Princes, she would not have been so sure that the Four Princes had instructed her.
Naturally, he will not let the eldest prince reap the benefits as he wishes.
