Chapter 175: What is the Purpose?
As soon as Shen Changge's words were finished, Shen Huanting showed a look of guilt and sadness.
"Brother Crown Prince, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect my brother to do anything to hurt Brother Prince."
Shen Huanting looked at Shen Changge pitifully, that look was really pitiful to me.
With tears flashing in her eyes, Shen Huanting said again: "For the sake of my brother's punishment by my father, forgive my brother this time." I think that after three months of punishment in the Zenxu Palace, he will definitely change his ways. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Shen Changge's gaze, always full of sincerity and hope, and with guilt that she couldn't hide.
It was as if he was really apologizing for Shen Qingyang.
But only she knows how much hatred she has in her heart.
She knew in her heart what kind of person her brother was, and she was sure that the assassin who assassinated the prince must have nothing to do with her brother.
However, at the insistence of the prince, my brother was still charged with this crime, and he was also imprisoned in a ghost place like Zenxu Palace!
As soon as she thought that her brother would have to endure a three-month punishment in the Zenxu Palace, there was a monstrous hatred spreading in her heart.
If it weren't for the crown prince, how could my brother end up in such a field?
Moreover, at that time, the imperial uncle also openly defended the crown prince!
It made her heart full of jealousy!
But no matter how deep her hatred is, she can't show it.
Because, she is kind, dignified, and gentle.
She must not do anything that would tarnish her image.
Thinking like this, she looked at Shen Changge with teary eyes, and grabbed Shen Changge's right hand with both hands.
"Brother Crown Prince, please forgive my brother. After my brother comes out of the Zenxu Palace, my mother will discipline him strictly, and I will also help my mother discipline my brother so that he will never dare to make trouble again. ”
Facing Shen Huanting's pitiful appearance, Concubine Li was stunned at first, looked at her in surprise, and then looked at Shen Changge.
But she is an outsider after all, and she has no position to speak, so she can only watch quietly.
And Shen Changge always behaved very calmly, making it impossible to guess her thoughts.
Lowering her eyes, she glanced at the right hand that was grabbed by Shen Huanting, and she slowly withdrew her hand.
"Sister Emperor, what do you mean by saying these words to this palace?" Raising her delicate brows slightly, she said casually, "Do you want to put a hat on this palace that doesn't care about brotherhood?" Or do you want others to think that this palace is narrow-minded and refuses to forgive the four princes? ”
Shen Huanting was surprised for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Brother Crown Prince, you misunderstood, I didn't mean this at all." ”
"If you don't, then why are you saying that?" Shen Changge's tone was a little more serious, "The palace didn't intercede for the fourth prince?" If it weren't for the intercession of the palace, how could the four princes only suffer a punishment of three months? ”
Her words made Shen Huanting speechless, and she looked at her in a daze.
Indeed, as the prince said, if there is no prince's intercession, my brother is afraid that he will have to stay in the Zenxu Palace for the rest of his life.
She only cared about pretending to be weak, pretending to be pitiful and begging the prince, but she forgot about this stubble.
However, what if there is a plea from the prince?
Who caused my brother to be locked up in the Zen Void Palace?
Isn't it the crown prince?!
Shen Huanting didn't speak, and Shen Changge didn't expect her response, and continued: "Sister Emperor, this palace knows that you know the general situation and know the proportions, but your words really make this palace have to doubt your intentions. ”
Her voice was a little colder, and her gaze at Shen Huanting was also a little sharp, which made Shen Huanting a little uneasy.
Dodging her gaze, Shen Huanting hurriedly explained: "Brother Crown Prince, you misunderstood, I have no other intentions. I'm just too worried about my brother, after all, he is the brother of my mother's compatriots, he was imprisoned in the Zen Void Palace, I was worried, and I said something that shouldn't be said in a hurry, and I asked the prince and brother to forgive me. ”
"Don't say what you shouldn't say, beware of misfortune." Shen Changge glanced at her and said coldly, "This palace knows that the eldest imperial sister and the fourth prince have a deep relationship between brother and sister, but the fourth prince only stayed in the Zenxu Palace for three months, and when the three months are up, he will naturally come out, so why should the eldest imperial sister come to the palace?" ”
Shen Huanting's hands hidden in the wide sleeves were clenched tightly, and her nails were embedded in the flesh, as if she didn't realize it, as if she wanted to use this to keep her composure.
With a docile look on her face, she said softly: "The crown prince and the royal brother have taught the lesson, and the imperial sister has remembered." ”
Glancing at her, Shen Changge didn't say anything more, and said, "Just remember the imperial sister, there is still something in the palace, so I won't talk to the imperial sister more." ”
As she spoke, she turned her head and bowed her head slightly to Concubine Li, turned around and left without looking back.
"Congratulations to the royal brother." Shen Huanting owes herself, but on her slightly drooping face, there is a hatred that cannot be concealed.
It wasn't until the palace maid stepped forward to support her that she slowly straightened up.
And when she looked up, the hatred was gone, replaced by the usual gentleness and generosity.
Turning her head to see that Concubine Li was still standing in the gazebo, she said with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry to make Concubine Li smile." ”
Concubine Li also felt embarrassed, and sneered: "The eldest princess is serious, but I think the prince's words also have some truth." Don't worry too much about the Four Princes, the three months will pass soon. ”
"I know, but I can't let go of it." Shen Huanting put on a painful look and sighed, "After all, that's my own brother." ”
In the past few days that my brother was imprisoned in the Zenxu Palace, my mother didn't know how many tears she shed, and she lost a lot of weight.
The mother concubine also begged her father to release her brother many times, but her father ruthlessly refused, and even her mother was disliked by her father.
And all of this was caused by Shen Changge!
Before, she was just jealous of Shen Changge's close relationship with Uncle Huang, and even had a faint tendency to snatch Uncle Huang.
But right now, her hatred for Shen Changge is not just that simple!
"The eldest princess and the four princes have a deep love for each brother and sister, and it is natural to worry." Concubine Li comforted and said, "However, you also have to take care of yourself, your injuries have not healed yet, you still need to rest." ”
Catching up with Concubine Li's concerned gaze, Shen Huanting's mood improved slightly: "Thank you Concubine Li, I will." ”
Immediately, as if she had thought of something, she asked tentatively, "Does Concubine Li often come here?" ”
Seeing Concubine Li looking at her suspiciously, Shen Huanting hurriedly explained: "Concubine Li, don't get me wrong, I just think it's quite easy to talk to Niangniang, so I thought that if Niangniang often comes here, I can also come here to find Niangniang." ”
Concubine Li pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "It's not often, it's only occasionally when I'm idle and has nothing to do, I come here for a walk." ”
She often came here so that she didn't know when she would meet the prince.
If the eldest princess came here to look for her, how would she still get along with the crown prince?
And this time, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the eldest princess, she wouldn't be unable to say a few words to the prince.
Then she didn't want anyone to bother.
