"Zhen'er, no matter what, I hope you can be safe and happy. In my opinion, Ah Yue should be your lover. Over the years, he has been guarding you in secret. Every time you and Ziye get into trouble,
It’s him who settles things for you in the dark and protects your safety. He may not be as happy and angry as Ziye, wishing he could give you the best things in the world. But he is also willing to devote himself to you.
He will do everything, bear all the suffering and pain, bear all the unbearableness and infamy, just to let you live a smooth and healthy life. Perhaps, he is not very strong, and has not even cleared his father's grievances. But, what he did
There are enough."
After saying that, he murmured in his heart: If I were not the prince, I could not allow you to be together for the rest of your life. Otherwise, how could I be willing to give you to others without fighting for it? Wait a minute, wait until I have this
The world will definitely protect you and Ah Yue.
Naturally, Su Zhen didn't know the affection that Shang Yuchen had buried deep in her heart. After listening to Shang Yuchen's words, she said lightly 'hmm'.
Lan Zhi hid in the dark, trying hard to reduce his sense of presence, his back felt chilly, and he felt a chill coming out of him.
Needless to say, the affection between Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
However, he had just discovered an indescribable emotion in Shang Yuchen's eyes.
Lan Zhi had always known that Shang Yuchen valued Su Zhen very much, and even when Su Zhen encouraged him to rebel, he actually nodded without hesitation.
However, Shangyu Chen can obviously just wait for Shangyu Chen to die of illness or old age before he can take the position, so why bother with such scheming? If you rely on rebellion to get to the position, you will always end up with a reputation as a rebel.
Although he doesn't know the reason, he will never disobey Shang Yuchen's order.
However, he didn't expect that Shang Yuchen would develop a deep love for Su Zhen at some point.
There are rumors in the outside world that Shangyi Chen has been reluctant to accept the crown princess, and there is not even a maid in the East Palace because he does not like women and has an affair with Gu Yunshu.
But as the prince's secret guard, he naturally knew that Shang Yuchen and Gu Yunshu were innocent.
But he never expected that his sweetheart would be Su Zhen!
It’s really off the mark!
He lowered his head and held his breath, fearing that the prince would suddenly remember his existence and silence him.
"Well, since you are still not willing to get married, I won't mention it anymore."
"Thank you, Prince!"
Shangyu Chen frowned and said: "From now on, when there is no one in private, you can call me A Ye just like A Yue."
"Ah? How dare I call this prince a taboo name? If my father finds out, he will drive me out of the house."
"It's okay, this is my order, he doesn't dare to disobey it."
Shangyu Chen even changed his self-identity, from 'I' to 'I'.
By saying this, was he using his status to order her father? Or was he threatening her?
"Xiao Xiao is a jealous person, I'm afraid he will be sour again."
"It doesn't matter, he doesn't mind."
"But."
"Zhen'er, why did you come to see me?" Xiao Chuhong interrupted her.
"Oh, by the way, I want to tell you about the ice coffin."
Su Zhen spoke concisely and comprehensively, recounting the clues she had found and recent events.
"Are you saying that King Qin and the people behind him have done so much just to live forever?"
"right."
"The matter of immortality is illusory and illusory. How can it be so easy?"
"Have you not noticed that in the recent series of cases, every perpetrator is seeking immortality and rebirth?"
"But they all failed."
"That's because we interfered in it, and they failed. However, looking back at the origin of each case, Huang Quan Si Li Hairpin, Demon Gu Shi Huan Dial, and the Winged Mermaid Tribe's Cassia Pestle all have their own legends, without exception.
It’s all about longevity.”
"So, what do you want to do?"
"We have always been passive and weak, being led by them. When they make moves, we take their moves. So, I want to take the initiative."
"How to attack?"
"Using the entire Jiangdu as a stepping stone is just the first step of our original plan. I originally planned to take it slow, but some changes have happened recently, and I have new ideas."
"Tell me about it."
"In Jiangdu, we cannot let Mo Xiu and his tribe dominate the world with one hand. We must retain an extremely reliable person, and this person can compete with Mo Xiu."
"Everyone around me has important responsibilities. Jiangdu is too far away from Kyoto, and I really don't have any suitable candidates."
"I think Tao Yongji is pretty good."
"He? Those martial arts people want to eat him alive. Letting him sit in Jiangdu is equivalent to putting him on the fire."
"He just drugged them and did not harm their lives. This man was a good official, but after the changes in the past, he was cowardly. But he was also the number one scholar in both civil and military affairs at that time. He could kill the enemy in battle when he mounted his horse, and he could stabilize the country and protect his body when he dismounted.
He has great ambitions and great strategies, but he suffers from the fact that he does not know how to socialize in officialdom and cannot show his talents."
"I didn't expect that you had a pretty good impression of him."
"In the post-disaster reconstruction of Jiangdu, if he can take this opportunity to win over the people, make them change their view of him, and make some reforms to eliminate the cancer in Jiangdu, it will be of great benefit to him to gain a foothold in Jiangdu. As for fighting against the Seventies
In the second tribe, he may be alone and cannot make a boat out of a single cane, but as long as you are willing to delegate power, are you afraid that Mo Xiu won't be able to accommodate him?"
"If he is obsessed with power and no longer cares about us, what should we do?"
Shangyi Chen has his own considerations. They are planning to develop business in Jiangdu. If Tao Yongji is not used, they may lose their success.
Su Zhen tilted her head and stroked her chin: "I haven't thought about this. After all, you don't trust those who employ you, and you don't trust those who doubt you. If you are worried, we can first let him be grateful to us."
"You mean, help him rehabilitate?"
"Yes, back then, Tao Yongji was framed for accepting bribes, buying and selling official positions, embezzling money and bending the law and was demoted. As long as we avenge him, he will naturally be devoted to us."
Shangyu Chen seemed to be a little overly cautious, but he still shook his head after hearing this.
"If you think the kindness is not enough, then we can have a backup plan. When we help him rehabilitate, we can leave a piece of evidence of his guilt. If he dares to change his mind, we can also kill him again."
"That's okay."
"Well, but I don't recommend that you keep one more piece of evidence. After all, it's not a good thing if others take advantage of it. However, others can frame him, and so can we. When you become the emperor, you can just fabricate a crime.
It’s not an easy task. After all, if you want your minister to die, you have to die.”
"."
Shangyu Chen was speechless. He was just a little suspicious, and he didn't have the face of a tyrant.
"Ah, Ah Ye, although you are proficient in governing the country, the art of the emperor is also a part of your control. Decisive killing, courage and perseverance are absolutely indispensable. Naturally, a wise king will not fabricate charges to frame courtiers at will, but
, Those who deserve to die must not be left behind. Your gentleness and generosity should be towards the people, not traitors. However, I believe that Tao Yongji will be a good official, and your worries will definitely be unfounded."
