Chapter 63: Start with Shen Yunyou's child?
Shen Yunyou sighed secretly, turned around and walked in front of Situ Rui. After waiting for Lin Yi and the others to leave, Shen Yunyou spoke in a low voice and asked, "It's so late, I don't know what else is going on with the emperor?" β
Situ Rui looked at Shen Yunyou with burning eyes and was silent. Today's plan failed, and for some reason, Situ Rui didn't seem to have much of a sense of anger. It's unexpected, and it's expected.
Since he was a child, he has fought too many times with Ye Zixuan, and he has failed again and again, which often makes Situ Rui ask himself, why? What's wrong with him?
This opportunity came from a whim of Situ Rui, and it was also because he wanted to test Shen Yunyou when she was unprepared.
"What do you think of today's events?" After Situ Rui was silent for a long time, he finally spoke.
Shen Yunyou stood there, watching Situ Rui close his eyes with a tired expression, listening to Situ Rui's voice asking himself a little hoarsely, Shen Yunyou thought about it and replied: "Back to the emperor, today's matter, if it is said that Zixuan is too powerful that night, it is okay." It doesn't hurt to say that there is a mole on our side. β
Shen Yunyou's last sentence made Situ Rui involuntarily open his eyes and look at her. "You say...... Mole? β
"The emperor won't be naΓ―ve to think that all the people around you want to do things for you wholeheartedly, right?" Shen Yunyou looked at Situ Rui's surprised expression, and said with a chuckle: "When I was acting today, I saw Brother Lin's confident face, as if he didn't expect to fail at all. Looking at him like that, he also knew that he must have gone through some careful arrangements before, but what was the reason for such a result, it could only be investigated by the emperor and Brother Lin. The emperor's people, the emperor himself knows best. β
Shen Yunyou's words made Situ Rui not sleep well all night. He tossed and turned, his mind full of Shen Yunyou's words. If there is really a mole around, who will it be?
In the dead of night, Lin Yi appeared alone outside the door of Liu Xinru's dormitory. After saying hello to the guards at the door, Lin Yi directly pushed the door and walked in.
Walking into the dormitory, Lin Yi looked at the two maids standing at the door, and asked softly, "When did the Queen Mother sleep?" β
As soon as Lin Yi's words were asked, before the maid could answer him, Liu Xinru's voice came from inside. "Come in."
After Lin Yi heard Liu Xinru's words, he walked in.
"How's it going today?" Liu Xinru was lying on the bed, looking at Lin Yi through the bed curtain, and asked.
"Back to the Queen Mother, our people have suffered a lot of casualties. That Jiang Jinghong was not rescued. β
"Oh?" Lin Yi's answer made Liu Xinru stunned for a moment, sat up, and Liu Xinru asked coldly, "What did Shen Yunyou do?" β
"Shen Yunyou is not as we guessed today, and she was also injured in order to save us." Lin Yi answered Liu Xinru's question slowly, and after a pause, Lin Yi continued: "Queen Mother, there is one thing we may have thought wrong. Shen Yunyou's current martial arts are not below me. If she had entered the palace to assassinate the emperor, she would have done it a long time ago. β
"Not under you?" Liu Xinru asked in surprise, and after receiving Lin Yi's affirmative answer, Liu Xinru lowered her eyes with a twinkle in her eyes and fell into deep thought.
Lin Yi waited quietly in front of the bed, waiting for Liu Xinru to give orders.
"Lin Yi, how long have you been with the mourning family?" Liu Xinru looked sideways at Lin Yi, frowning slightly.
"It's been 23 years since I returned to the Queen Mother."
"23 years......" Liu Xinru sighed, her mood was a little complicated. In the blink of an eye, we are all old. Think about when the mourning family was the queen, she was still by her side. Now even she is gone, but it is her daughter, who makes the mourning family worry day and night, and they can't rest assured. Hey, all this is really a bad fate! β
Liu Xinru sighed and said something, and discussed Shen Yunyou with Lin Yi. "Shen Yunyou, this girl, has a strange temperament that people can't figure out. The mourning family originally intended to let the emperor make her the queen four years ago, but she deceived all of us and came together with Ye Zixuan. Although the emperor has grown up a lot in recent years, and he has a lot of experience in dealing with things than before, the mourning family knows that he has never forgotten Shen Yunyou in his heart. This time Shen Yunyou is back, and it is even more difficult to deal with than four years ago. If she really didn't lie to us, but wanted to join forces with us to get rid of Ye Zixuan, then it is undeniable that she is definitely a sharp sword. It's just that...... Lin Yi, we must have something to restrain her, something to make her obediently listen to us. Do you understand what mourning means? β
"The Queen Mother is ......" Lin Yi seriously guessed the meaning of Liu Xinru's words, "Start with Shen Yunyou's child?" β
"That's right." Liu Xinru nodded and said, "No matter what you say, this child can't be kept." Even if he had the blood of our royal family in his veins, he would not be able to keep it. After everything settles, Shen Yunyou wants to stay in the palace, so we will let her stay. But the position of queen will never be her turn to sit. Although she has the qualifications to be a queen, she does not have the reputation of being a queen. The mourning family didn't want the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to talk about the emperor behind their backs, saying that the emperor had found an abandoned woman who was not wanted by others to be the queen and the mother of the country. Situ family, I can't afford to lose this person! β
"But the Queen Mother, Shen Yunyou has always regarded this child as a baby. Even if she is not with the child, there is her henchman to protect the child's safety. Besides, if we really do something to this kid, Shen Yunyou is very likely to turn against us. When the time comes......"
"The mourning family has always told you to think more and use your brain more before doing things. We can't kill this child, we can't make Shen Yunyou hate us. Then let's let Ye Zixuan kill this child and let Shen Yunyou hate him. β
Liu Xinru's words made Lin Yi's eyes tremble, and he instantly understood what she meant. "Minions understand."
"Now that you understand, let's step aside. The hour is not early, and the mourning family is about to rest. Liu Xinru lay down again, and added another sentence when Lin Yi immediately walked out of the room. Let Shen Yunyou come over tomorrow, the mourning family has something to say to her. β
After Lin left, Liu Xinru still couldn't close her eyes with peace of mind. As long as Ye Zixuan doesn't die for a day, her heart can't land safely.
"Ye Zining, Ye Zining, you really gave birth to a good son!" Liu Xinru muttered to herself, and the appearance of Ye Zining appeared in her mind. If he hadn't killed her back then, then who would be the emperor of the Kingdom of Heaven now? Ye Zixuan has been smart since he was a child, and he is hundreds of times stronger than other princes, if he hadn't designed it himself, secretly contacted the ministers of the court and the central government to frame their mother and son, there is no doubt that the first emperor would have made Ye Zixuan the crown prince. If she had killed Ye Zining at that time, and took Ye Zixuan to her side to raise her, then even if Ye Zixuan became the emperor today, wouldn't she have to be so nervous?
Nowadays, too many ifs can't change the status quo. So after Liu Xinru sighed, she could only smile bitterly and put all her hopes on Situ Rui......
Shen Yunyou left Situ Rui's place and was finally able to return to his residence. Shen Yunyou walked into the room, looked at the familiar figure in front of the bed, and walked over slowly.
Jincheng looked at Shen Yunyou with gloomy eyes, looked at Shen Yunyou's dirty and torn clothes, and when his eyes fell on Shen Yunyou's injured arm, Jincheng hurriedly asked, "What did you do?" β
"The emperor suddenly has a task and asks me to assassinate Ye Zixuan,." Shen Yunyou smiled slightly and said, "It's just a small injury, it's not in the way." β
"Yunyou." Jin Cheng stood up and looked directly at Shen Yunyou up close. "Can we get out of here? To go to a place where no one knows us? The grievances between Ye Zixuan and Situ Rui let the two of them fight well. Why do you have to be obsessed with killing Ye Zixuan with your own hands? Do you know that Chen'er has been losing her temper a lot lately, and the reason is that you are spending less and less time with him. Do you have to die before you leave? Otherwise, never give up? β
Jin Cheng mentioned Chen'er, which made Shen Yunyou's heart full of guilt. How could she not know how dependent her children were? But......
"Jincheng, I don't want to come back and discuss him with you after Situ Rui finished talking about Ye Zixuan. I've heard enough of these three words, I'm tired of hearing them enough, and I can't help but avenge my mother's revenge. Otherwise, I won't be able to feel at ease in this life. I know you're worried about me, worried about Chen'er. But I can't listen to you and leave here. You know my temper, and I don't want to give up halfway, let alone the murderer of my mother. β
"Well, since you want to kill him so much, I'll help you." Jin Cheng opened his mouth with a firm gaze and said in a low voice: "I have already met with the master, and I will help you with the master." But you have to promise me to leave here with me after killing Ye Zixuan. β
"Jincheng, you ......" Jincheng's decision made Shen Yunyou a little dumbfounded. Hasn't he given up on that idea yet?
Shen Yunyou bit his lower lip and was forced to retreat step by step. When he retreated to the center of the room, Shen Yunyou raised his hand and pushed Jin Cheng's chest, frowned and said, "Enough, don't make trouble." β
"Do I look like I'm making trouble? Yunyou, I've been messing around with you for so many days, and that's enough. Whoever you want to kill, I'll help you kill whomever you want, how can it be so simple? β
Jin Cheng said as he slowly raised his right hand and brushed Shen Yunyou's cheek. His fingers lightly touched Shen Yunyou's skin, and then quickly left. Jin Cheng suppressed the feeling in his heart, and under Shen Yunyou's gloomy gaze, he slowly took a step back.
