Shen Lingxi looked at Yuzhu thoughtfully, "Is it because of King An's death?" ”

"That's right." Yuzhu nodded, "Not long after I bumped into that old way two years ago, King An committed suicide, if I guessed correctly, I am the only eyewitness to this matter, and they will not let me live." ”

"What does that mean?" King An looked at him in astonishment, "How can your death have anything to do with me?" ”

"Tell me first, what did that old Taoist pretend to be your mother and tell you?" Yuzhu looked at him and asked.

"Impersonation?" King An showed a blank look, "Are you saying that the concubine I saw that day was fake?" Are they lying to me? ”

"No, it can't be......" he stood up, with some panic and uneasiness in his eyes, "I ...... I don't believe it. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and floated out.

Seeing this, Yuzhu stood up, "I'll go see him." "Chased after him.

In the blink of an eye, the two souls disappeared from sight.

Shen Lingxi raised his eyes to look at Chu Yan, his eyes full of helplessness.

"They're gone." She relayed the conversation between the three of them to him, and finally said: "King An still doesn't believe it, he was deceived, and he won't say anything." ”

"It doesn't matter." Chu Yan stood up straight, there was no surprise in his eyes, "He has a simple and cowardly personality since he was a child, and it is reasonable that he will be bewitched by others. ”

Shen Lingxi still has some things, he doesn't understand very well, and wants to ask him for advice.

He simply pointed to the table full of dishes and invited: "Your Highness has had a meal, do you want to eat together?" ”

Chu Yanjian's eyebrows raised slightly, but he did not refuse.

Because Shen Lingxi was opposite the food offered to the two deceased souls, he walked to the position next to Shen Lingxi and sat down.

Shen Lingxi knew that he had a habit of cleanliness, so he put his unused dishes and chopsticks in front of him, "Just wiped clean, it's useless." ”

Chu Yan's eyes crossed a different color, his thin lips hooked slightly, and he thanked him.

Except for the three days in the old nest of the Hidden Moon Pavilion, it was the first time for the two of them to eat together alone.

Shen Lingxi knew that Da Zhou had a rule of "don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep", so she had to press the words she wanted to ask for the time being, and eat silently.

On the contrary, it was Chu Yan, who still remembered the last time she was in Heming Tower, she talked with Chunjun and Mu Huai'an while eating.

He subconsciously learned from Mu Huai'an, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of spring bamboo shoots, and put it into Shen Lingxi's bowl.

Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the spring bamboo shoots in the bowl flatteredly, and blinked.

"You have something to ask me?" Chu Yan asked casually.

It seems that the matter of serving her vegetables is just an unintentional move.

It's just that no one knows, he is pinching the finger bones of the chopsticks, slightly tense.

Even he couldn't explain why this was the case.

Shen Lingxi saw that Chu Yan took the initiative to ask, and he would not miss this opportunity, and he no longer cared about such trivial matters as picking vegetables.

Her beautiful and beautiful face was full of curiosity, "Does Your Highness know that King An lost his mother since he was a child, and he grew up under the knees of his mother?" ”

"It should have been raised under the queen's knees." Chu Yan saw that her expression was as usual, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she went to pick up vegetables again, "It's just that when the queen was in the palace, her health has not been good, so she handed it over to Concubine Wen, who gave birth to the King of Jin, and grew up with the King of Jin." Concubine Wen has a strong temperament and is very protective, and she prefers her own son King Jin more on weekdays, although she does not treat him lightly, she does not care too much. ”

When he was ten years old, Concubine Wen died of illness, and at the age of enlightenment, the concubine took him into the palace to raise him. He is the youngest son of the imperial uncle, the imperial uncle has no requirements for his schoolwork, the eldest princess regards him as her own, often takes him out of the palace to play, and has lived a carefree life, and wants to go out of the palace, so the imperial uncle gave him a palace of King An. ”

Shen Lingxi's eyes showed a look of embarrassment.

This King An seems to live in a royal family with fine clothes and food and supreme honor, but in fact, he has not received much love since he was a child.

"How is the emperor to King An?" Shen Lingxi asked again.

Chu Yan's voice was very light, "In addition to him, Uncle Huang originally had two sons, King Wei and King Jin were both very smart since childhood, and they were the most favored by Uncle Huang. Although King An was not as favored as his two elder brothers, he was never treated poorly by his uncle. ”

It's just that later the King of Wei and the King of Jin died one after another, and the imperial uncle could only hope that King An would enter the East Palace, so he began to be strict with him. Therefore, when King An committed suicide later, the emperor's uncle has always been haunted, thinking that he was too harsh and harsh on his son. ”

When Shen Lingxi heard this, he was in no mood to continue eating.

She put down her chopsticks and raised her eyes to look at Chu Yanqing's indifferent face, her eyes were a little inquiring, and she stopped talking.

Although there is no emperor in this world who does not want his son to succeed to the throne.

But now, the person sitting on the throne of the prince is the one in front of him.

Listening to his own calm narration, it was a little strange that the emperor wanted his son to take his place.

Being looked at by Shen Lingxi's beautiful eyes, Chu Yan unconsciously tightened his jaw.

His Adam's apple rolled, "Why are you looking at me like that?" ”

Shen Lingxi hesitated for a few breaths, and finally asked the question in his heart.

"Your Royal Highness is not worried, if the death of King An is revealed this time, it is a conspiracy, not a witch curse, and the emperor will rekindle Yi Chu's mind?"

Speaking of this, she paused and said tentatively: "Rather than this, it is better to let Zhao Dong go for the time being, so that this case will not be resolved, at least the emperor will be afraid of the curse of the emperor and dare not do anything to His Royal Highness." ”

Chu Yan didn't expect that what she was going to say was this.

His eyes were slightly cold, and his eyes as dark as night stared at her for a moment: "In your eyes, Lone is the kind of person who will do anything for the position of a prince?" ”

"Or are you greedy for life and afraid of death, and let those pretending gods to play tricks and hide behind the scenes?"

Shen Lingxi: "......"

She subconsciously wanted to shake her head, wanting to deny it, but she felt that her denial seemed impossible.

What kind of person he was, how could she really know.

It is said that people's hearts are separated from their belly, and they know people and faces, but they don't know their hearts.

But...... If you think about it.

These days of getting along with the person in front of you, listening to his words and watching his deeds, it is indeed not like the kind of mediocre person who only cares about having fun, enjoying the glory and wealth, and the privileges of the royal family, but never fulfills the obligations of the royal family.

Her heart relaxed slightly.

Since Chu Yan will not let go of the wicked for the position of the prince, he may not wronged the little aunt in the future for the sake of those witch rumors.

In this way, she has a better chance of rescuing her little aunt in the future.

"Of course not, I believe in Your Highness."

Shen Lingxi squeezed out a shallow smile at him, hurriedly took the initiative to pour a glass of water, and presented it to him with both hands.

"Your Highness is open-minded, upright and selfless, and will not be such a villain who will do anything for power."

There was also a hint of flattery in her gentle tone.

Chu Yan looked at her pear vortex and smiled lightly, but her palm-sized little face was flattering, and her thin lips pulled out a helpless arc imperceptibly.

Of course, he could see that she had probably misunderstood him.

But somehow, I figured it out again.

Chu Yan would not worry about her for this little misunderstanding.

He reached out, took the teacup, and took a sip.

I didn't forget to use a fake cold tone, deliberately emphasizing: "It's good to know what kind of person Lone is." In the future, you just have to stand by Lone's side and watch, no matter who wants to take things from Lone's hand, it depends on whether he has the ability. ”

At this moment, Chu Yan's heroic sword eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, his starry eyes flickered, and there was a yearning spirit between his eyebrows.

Shen Lingxi's eyes jumped with light spots.

I don't know if it's her own delusion, at that moment, she actually saw on Chu Yan's face that only the superior who controlled the world had the difference between life and death.

The two of them said a few more words, and she was about to ask him about the "Immortal Chief" again-——

"I've found you." Mu Huai'an walked in from outside out of breath, hurriedly bowed to Chu Yan, and said as if he was facing a great enemy: "The emperor just called me for questioning, and asked Miss Shen if it was true that the matter of divination of the corpse was true. ”
