Chapter 445: The Desired Result
It was drizzling.
"Remember?" After Si Chen finished speaking, he leaned on the soft pillow and asked softly.
"Remembered." Si Yujin replied, frowning again, "However, if it backfires, Yanyun Kingdom will hate Feng Yingguo because of this......"
"Just do it." Si Chen interrupted him and said.
Si Yujin glanced at her, pursed her lips, and responded:
"I see."
"There you go." Si Chen said.
Si Yujin turned around and walked out, and when he met Si Qian who was coming in from the outside, he glanced at Si Qian and went away.
Si Qian bypassed the screen and walked into the inner room.
Si Chen put a silk towel wrapped in ice cubes on his forehead, and was closing his eyes to recuperate.
This is an extremely rare situation, it is something that even Si Qian has never encountered, usually such trivial illnesses as fever and rashes are borne by Chenguang, although Chenguang does not have to bear the pain of the Xuanli surge, but it is Chenguang who often lingers on the sickbed, and Si Chen has not had it once.
This time the situation was very strange, Si Qian was slightly panicked, because he didn't dare to ask, so he avoided paying too much attention to her body. Anyway, Si Chen doesn't like to be too close.
"Your Highness, this is a candied golden date, if Your Highness has a bad mouth, you will eat one." He placed an oiled paper bag on the small table beside her.
Si Chen glanced at the oil paper bag.
"This isn't sweet." Si Qian added.
Si Chen didn't say anything extra to the candied golden dates, she changed her position and lay in the soft pillow, and asked:
"Did you find out?"
Si Qian pondered for a moment and frowned: "The subordinates are incompetent, and they only found out Yan Ying's power in the Cangqiu Kingdom, as for the unknown forces outside the court, maybe Yan Ying was afraid that His Royal Highness was in Yicheng, and that group of subordinates disappeared after only a shadow." ”
"Really?" Si Chen's eyes were deep in thought.
"My subordinates are incompetent, please punish Your Highness." Si Qian knelt down on one knee, hung his head, and said in a low voice.
Si Chen thought for a while, and said softly: "Get up." Let's talk about Yan Ying. ”
Si Qian stood up, expressionless, and replied in a solemn voice:
"Yan Ying failed in Longxi Country that year, and ventured back to Cangqiu Kingdom, at that time Emperor Cangqiu was still healthy, the prince and King Chen fought endlessly, Yan Ying first took refuge in King Chen after returning to China, and betrayed King Chen halfway to win the trust of the prince, and hid in Yicheng with the power of the prince, so he got acquainted with the third prince of the Gu Mansion, and with this relationship he approached the Empress Dowager Gu, and helped the Empress Dowager Gu get rid of the prince and the eighth prince, as well as to eliminate dissidents for the Gu family. At that time, the Gu family trusted him very much. After Emperor Cangqiu died, the thirteen princes succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager Gu hung the curtain, the Gu family covered the sky with one hand, and fulfilled the promise to overturn the case for the Yan family, and Yan Ying was crowned king again. Yan Ying has her own power in the court, but not as much as the Gu family, Gu Shun has been very dissatisfied with Yan Ying recently, because the new emperor ascended the throne and the queen mother hung the curtain, and the queen mother relied on Yan Ying instead of her mother's family.
According to the subordinates, in the next step, the court of Cangqiu Country will definitely set off a war between Yan Ying and Gu Shun, with Yan Ying's scheming, she will not think of this, the Empress Dowager Gu is Gu Shun's sister-in-law, quite ambitious, the subordinates think, she would rather be controlled by Yan Ying alone than succumb to the maiden family who had oppressed her, if the Gu family knows how to advance and retreat, the Empress Dowager Gu can still be at peace with the Gu family, but Gu Shun is now clear that he is forcing the Empress Dowager Gu to express her position, the Empress Dowager Gu probably will not bear it, two to one, and the final result is very likely to be Gu Shun's defeat.
After that, it will be up to the Empress Dowager Gu and Yan Ying, if the Empress Dowager Gu refuses to give in to Yan Ying, the two may have a new conflict, maybe Yan Ying will kill her mother and keep her son. It is unlikely that Yan Ying will justifiably get the Cangqiu Kingdom in a short period of time, it is one thing to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and it is another thing for a country to change its dynasty and surname, the former can still bear it, and the latter is afraid that the entire Cangqiu Kingdom will not agree. ”
Si Chen thought for a while, his fingers flexed, and he clasped the table for a while: "So, the court of Cangqiu Kingdom has nothing to do with the forces behind Yan Ying at all. ”
"Yes."
"Has the Yan family checked?"
"The Yan family used to be a prominent family in Cangqiu country, because of their high merits, they were beheaded on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the Yan family tried their best to send Yan Ying, the only concubine of the long house, out. How he got to the desert later, and how he was robbed into the Holy Son Mountain, only he knows. Maybe it was because they wanted to hide in Flame City at the time, or maybe they wanted to go to other countries through the desert, after all, at that time, the countries were the most loosely guarded against the desert passes. ”
Yan Ying wanted to go to the Feng Ying Kingdom at that time, and this Si Chen knew. Yan Ying's life experience is not strange, the master of high merit was killed by the emperor Jun An for a crime, this kind of thing will happen every few years, this is the risk of being a high-ranking official. When the door was raided, there were many adults in the family, and it was inevitable that a few fish would escape, especially if it was a child.
But Si Chen always felt that Yan Ying's life experience was not so simple, although it sounded very simple.
"These things have nothing to do with the forces behind him." She said.
"Yes."
Si Chen was silent for a while, and said, "I'm going to rest for a few days, and tomorrow Si Yujin will go to the Five Congresses on my behalf, and you go with him." ”
Si Qian was slightly stunned: "Your Royal Highness, King Lian ......" He wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's okay, you just have to go, I'll explain everything to Si Yujin, you can adapt to the situation."
Si Qian answered, paused, and asked:
"Your Highness, do you want to check what happened yesterday?"
"Dare to assassinate the kings of the four kingdoms in Yicheng through the Five Kingdoms, this is not brave and unplanned, but a clever calculation, and if you go to investigate, you will be entangled. Everyone knows that this assassination will not really succeed, what I want is the result after the assassination, the person behind the scenes wants the result he wants, I don't care who this person is, I just want the result I want. ”
"Yes."
Si Chen was probably a little tired, she closed her eyes and whispered, "You go." ”
Si Qian glanced at her worriedly, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, he gave a silent salute and withdrew.
Si Chen moved, leaned back in the soft pillow, and closed his eyes.
Fire Dance walked over and replaced the silk blanket that had covered her with a thicker one.
Probably in his illness, Si Chen's face was a little tired.
"What do you want to eat at night, Your Highness?" Fire Dance asked softly.
Si Chen closed her eyes, shook her head lightly, and after a while, she whispered:
"I'm going to sleep for a few days, and if I don't see any guests in these days, Emperor Yanyun may come and ask someone to reply to him, saying that I'm not feeling well."
"Yes." Fire Dance answered softly.
Si Chen shrunk down and lay down and fell asleep.
Fire Dance sat silently on the side, tucking her quilt tightly and gently tossing her dangling hair aside.
There is no change in His Highness.
This time she fell asleep quickly.
Huo Wu looked at her pale and thin face, a beautiful face, but as thin as paper.
Huo Wu pursed her lips tightly, and an indescribable sadness suddenly surged in her heart.
