Chapter Ninety-Six: Showdown
Shen Duyi took the small porcelain vase and looked at it, and suddenly smiled and helped him up from the ground.
"Since you have brought back the blood of the holy beast, my father will naturally follow the agreement, and the next day the court will announce that you will be crowned the crown prince."
"Nope." Shen Li retorted unexpectedly, but shook his head and didn't accept it.
"Although the land of the dragon vein was not destroyed by the son, it is also half of the responsibility, and the blood of the holy beast is not obtained by the son. It is not my credit. The son has no merit this time, but he is guilty, so the position of the prince does not dare to take it, and the father is still young now, and there is no need to be in a hurry to canonize the prince.
Shen Yan mentioned Shen Duyi subconsciously frowned, although the action was light, but it also made Shen Li see very clearly. He knew that his father had always favored the seventh brother.
"Hey~" Shen Duyi sighed. Your seventh brother has been away for many years, and he has never known the stakes of this war. He has lived freely since he was a child, and there is nothing to worry about. When he grows up, his mother and I also indulge him, let him wander around, and stay here for so long. I have been back for so long, I am when he has accepted his heart, and finally knows filial piety. Old General Feng was killed in battle, and no one in the court dared to stand up and take command of the battle. I summoned you back to Beijing, and I wanted to see which of you would go, but I never expected that he would be the last to go."
Shen Li arched his hand, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. The father doesn't have to worry, and after a few days, the son will go to the border to quell the chaos and let the seventh brother come back safely."
Shen Duyi narrowed his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then said intentionally or unintentionally: "You go, do you know...... The current king of the Snow Country, but he is somewhat related to you, and he is your brother."
Shen was stunned, slowly lowered his hands, raised his head and looked directly at Shen Duyi, for the first time in his life, lost all patience, and didn't care about everything.
"Why did my father test me so many times, is it because my son is too smart, or do you think that my son is also a threat to you?"
Shen Duyi's eyes lit up, he seemed to be a little surprised, but he didn't move, he just looked at Shen Li face to face, didn't refute, and didn't answer.
"Actually, my father has long thought that my son is not easy to master, right, since the death of my mother, you have always been uncertain about my position, you want to cultivate me, and I am afraid that I will be as unappreciative as my mother, and I want to give up on me, and I feel sorry for my deceased mother.
Shen Li kept smiling.Maybe it was the long-term depression.Maybe it was the sad smile of Mu Yan in the stone 'cave'.Finally, he endured it and endured it.When he heard that Shen Duyi was still suspicious of him.Finally broke out.
"Is it my growth that surprises you, or is my excellence making you feel uneasy? General Feng will go to guard the frontier for you.The only condition is to give his somewhat stupid 'daughter' a place to live for the rest of his life.You have seven sons.If I remember correctly.The second brother was 'very' fond of Feng Ziying at that time.But you just promised her to me.The year the daughter of the Fang family fell into the water.We passed by.You asked me to save her.If I wasn't blind.At that time.You sent someone to secretly push her down the river."
The more Shen Li continued, the deeper the smile on the corner of his mouth, and Shen Duyi kept looking at him, still silent.
"In the end, Mu Yan.In fact, you have a purpose in everything you do.And you are very confident.Just like you have this skin for your son and mine.You must be very satisfied, isn't it.You expected that most of the 'women' in this world are superficial.You only need to have a good-looking appearance.Plus the prominent identity of the third prince of Shen.How could you not be caught.But you didn't expect that the Mu family girl who made me particularly hated in the past suddenly seemed to be a different person.Not only did it move my heart.Even the seventh brother who was away all the year round was enchanted by her."
"I see, you already knew......
Hearing this, Shen Duyi finally whispered softly, without the slightest anger, but sighed lightly with emotion.
"Father, my son doesn't know, if you sit on this throne, you will have a suspicious 'hair' problem.Now that General Feng is dead, the treasury also has plenty of silver, and the Mu family is also ruined.So this time, I don't want to listen to your teachings anymore.The summer queen has a nurturing grace for me.Although you are suspicious of me, you are always my father.And Ayan.I am also the only brother I recognize.The border war is 'chaotic'.The state affairs are great.Please ask my father to draw up a holy decree.Let me be in charge of all the military power.I will go to the border to quell the 'chaos' in three days. When the seventh brother returns safely, the father will let him decide as he pleases, and continue to go everywhere to see his beautiful scenery."
Shen Li looked at Shen Duyi with burning eyes, seeing that he seemed to be many years old in an instant, with a bitter smile on his face, he thought it would provoke a monstrous anger, but he didn't expect Shen Duyi to say nothing, only nodded, and said a "good" word.
After that, Shen Duyi prepared the holy decree and handed it to him, Shen Li took it and turned to leave, and when he walked to the 'door', he suddenly stopped.
"Snow Country's attack this time must be prepared, if the son can return safely in the future, the father is canonizing the son as the crown prince, if the son can't come back, the position of the prince in the future will be all up to the father."
"Ah Li."
Suddenly, Shen Duyi opened his mouth to call him, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Father doesn't know that Mu Yan is so important in your heart.Actually, I never thought of killing that girl.Even if the Mu family threatens me again, there is an indelible existence.In people's hearts, there must always be some faith.Therefore.The Mu family can't be destroyed.You always say that your father is suspicious.But you don't know that when you guess my mind.You also make the same 'fault'. If you had opened up to me early in the morning, and had spoken everything thoroughly, why would you 'force' yourself into such a field?"
Shen Li's body stiffened, the hand holding the holy decree was clenched, his face was pale and terrible, he didn't look back, he walked out, and left the imperial study.
After he left, the prince walked in, glanced at Shen Duyi's look, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing again and again.
"Why does Your Majesty do this...... Hey, why don't you just make it clear to the third prince, let him misunderstand ...... like this?"
Wang Gonggong's words were interrupted before he could finish speaking.Shen Duyi waved his hand.As if he was a little tired.
"His 'sex' is exactly the same as his mother's concubine.Stubborn.If you can make him believe in what you say.I don't have to worry so much.Isn't it 'good' to be like this now.It's okay to misunderstand.It's okay if you don't understand.He's finally no longer hiding and patient.I know that he resisted with me.It's just a pity that the 'female' doll of the Mu family.I really want her to inherit the position of high priest.When the time comes, I can help Ah Li.How good it should be.I just sigh that the sky doesn't obey people's wishes.There is nothing to do."
