She wanted to say "How could it be?", but when she thought about how similar she was to Princess Zhenmin, she told Shen Xian about this after returning to the mansion yesterday. In addition, Princess Qingping was assassinated yesterday, and the matter became even more complicated. At the same time, Shen Xian took a leave of absence today and didn't even go to the official department to go on duty, so he specially waited in the mansion.
Shen Xian narrowed his eyes, "This matter is actually easy to understand. Princess Qingping will not be assassinated for no reason. Even if she is assassinated, she will not take such a big risk. What she has done over the years has not made people want to Except for the speed after that. Only you have been living in the Princess Mansion since coming to Beijing, and you have been inseparable from the people in the Princess Mansion. It is also a clear day and the guards of the Princess Mansion did not expect that someone would dare to assassinate the princess on the streets of the capital, so , the defense must have been a little loose. Although the assassin would have taken a big risk in the assassination, it was also a big opportunity. The calm person who opened the arrow was the person following you. You can guess that the cold arrow was aimed at you. of."
Su Rong nodded, "What Uncle Shen said is correct."
Shen Xian stared at her, "According to your age, your mother is Princess Zhenmin?"
Su Rong thought to herself that it was Shen Xian. Even Princess Qingping and the Prince Consort did not directly ask her mother whether she was Princess Zhenmin. They only asked about her relationship with Princess Zhenmin. She tilted her head and asked: "Who is Uncle Shen?" Do you know anything?"
Shen Xian shook his head, "I only know that Xie Yuan will not stay in Jiangning County for many years without any reason. If a person like him can stay in Jiangning County, there must be something involved. And you are very similar to Princess Zhenmin. Since ancient times, it is not unusual for a woman to resemble her biological mother."
Su Rong nodded, "Yes, my mother is indeed Princess Zhenmin."
Shen Xian sat up straight and said, "Xie Yuan and I have a close friendship, and my wife is not a showy and stupid person. Now you have been assassinated as soon as you came to the capital. The water in the capital is deep. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. If you can trust us, , then talk to us. Of course, if you don’t believe us, you don’t need to say anything, this topic will end here. While you are in Beijing, just stay in Shen Mansion with peace of mind. "
Su Rong smiled and said, "Uncle Shen and Uncle Xie have a close friendship. They treat me and my brother like nephews. Of course, there is nothing I can't say to you and Aunt Shen. Since I dare to come to Beijing, I am mentally prepared to reveal my identity." "
She smiled and said: "My biological father is the King of Nanchu, and my mother is Princess Zhenmin."
Shen Xian had already guessed it and showed a clear look.
Mrs. Shen stood up and said, "This, this...how could he be the King of Southern Chu? I thought..."
"Did you think it was Uncle Xie?" Su Rong sighed, "When I was a child, I thought my biological father was Uncle Xie. Then, I would save myself a lot of trouble, and no one would keep thinking about killing me. Unfortunately not."
Mrs. Shen digested it for a while and looked at Shen Xian.
"The person who wants to kill you is someone sent from Nanchu?" Shen Xian asked.
Su Rong nodded, "Probably."
She briefly described how her mother faked her death and ended up in the prefect's mansion in Jiangning County, how her mother stopped fighting for Daliang, wrote to the late emperor and the queen mother the news that she was not really dead, and asked Daliang to sign a peace treaty with Dawei. In the meantime, the news that she was alive was leaked, which attracted the attention of Queen Nanchu, who traced Jiangning County. After her mother died, Queen Nanchu had been sending people to kill her and so on.
"So, the person sent now is from the Queen of Nanchu?" Mrs. Shen slowly sat down and asked.
"Not necessarily." Su Rong shook his head, "The news that I am alive should have been known to many people in Nanchu. When I returned to Beijing this time, I met several groups of killers on the way. There should be someone from the Queen of Nanchu. , people from the Nangong family, people from the Nan Chu clan, or ambitious people among the Nan Chu court officials are all possible."
Mrs. Shen took a breath of air.
Shen Xian was very calm, "The King of Nanchu has always had no heirs in Nanchu. Since you are the daughter of the King of Nanchu, you are the only princess. These people want to kill you, and they have their own purposes. It is not surprising."
Su Rong nodded, "So, Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen, I really don't want to involve you. After entering Beijing, I went to the Princess Mansion. My eldest brother and I should live in the Xie Mansion in Dongsi Alley!"
Mrs. Shen immediately said, "No, just stay here. There are no guards in Dongsi Alley. How dangerous it is."
Shen Xian also had a solemn look on his face, "What are you talking about? You don't need to keep my friendship with Xie Yuan a secret. In addition, you are the daughter of Princess Zhenmin, because she only had peace in the 16th year of Daliang. As long as you are not a person with a broken conscience, once I know your identity, I will protect you without any hesitation."
Mrs. Shen nodded repeatedly, "That's right."
Since Shen Xian and Mrs. Shen said so, Su Rong did not hesitate and said with a smile: "Since you two said so, then I will stay shameless."
Mrs. Shen also smiled, "Just stay here. You are considered a distinguished guest, so why don't you invite others?"
Shen Xianqing coughed and said, "Well, why did you break off your engagement with the Protectorate?"
Su Rong briefly explained the reason.
After hearing this, Shen Xian said: "That boy Zhou Gu is a good guy. Although he is young and not stable enough, he has good character. Moreover, His Majesty was supported by the old Protector of the Kingdom and Princess Sheng'an to rise to power. Now, The old Lord Protector and the eldest princess Sheng'an built it here. For a while, the Lord Protector's Mansion will not be able to fall, and Your Majesty does not dare to act rashly. You don't have to worry about setting fire to the Lord Protector's Mansion because of your troubles."
Su Rong shook his head, "I have this consideration. The main reason is that the old Protector of the Country gave me my grandson who has spent all his efforts to cultivate since childhood to go to Nanchu to be the king's wife? Isn't this ruining his family? Let's forget it."
Shen Xian remained silent, "That's right. I can't bear to leave someone like Zhou Gu alone."
Mrs. Shen made a sound, and after digesting the shock, she still calmed down. After hearing this, she said with great enthusiasm: "There are many good men in the world, and there is no need to hang them on a tree. Without Zhou Gu, there will always be someone who is willing to go south." Chu will be your royal husband."
Now that you have become a king, are you still worried about not having a royal husband? Ask Mrs. Shen and say that this is not a problem. Although Zhou Gu is good, there are still many good men in the world.
Shen Xian laughed and glanced at his wife, "What you said makes sense."
Su Rong also laughed and looked at the two of them, thinking that Shen Xian was said to be serious and serious outside, but in front of Mrs. Shen, and in front of her and Su Xingze, he looked kind and smiling, not so rigid and serious.
Shen Xian asked again: "I have sent people to check. You did not enter the capital on the day when the scientific examination started, but you entered the capital before that time. However, the traces were wiped away. If it were not for the city gate guard, you would have entered the capital." My man just pried open his mouth and gave me a message. No one can find out that you have been in Beijing for a long time. Where were you before you went to the Princess Mansion to stay for a while?"
Su Rong was surprised. She didn't expect that Shen Xian had even revealed this. Even the Duke Protector's Office thought that she had just entered Beijing on the day of the scientific examination. After all, the prince had helped her and Fengling smooth away the traces. Not many people have seen her and Fengling, so the traces can be easily smoothed away.
"After all, I have been an official for many years, and it is not in vain." Shen Xian said: "Others are paying attention to the scientific examination, but I pay more attention to other things."
Su Rong smiled sincerely, "Uncle Shen, you are so awesome."
Compared with Princess Qingping and the Prince Consort, she believed in Shen Xian more. After all, Xie Yuan believed in him and simply told the truth, "I came to Beijing many days in advance, but I have been staying in the East Palace."
Shen Xian sat up straight at this moment, "Prince?"
"Yes." Su Rong could only describe how she met Yan Huisheng, how she learned through him that the Queen of Nanchu wanted to kill her, how she listened to Xie Yuan's suggestion and agreed to cooperate with the East Palace in order to find a strong backer. To deal with the various forces in Southern Chu who wanted to kill her quickly.
After hearing this, Shen Xian took a deep breath and said, "This is Xie Yuan!"
Su Ronxiao said, "Uncle Xie is also doing it for my own good. After all, the situation is here. All the forces in Southern Chu have forced me to this point. As long as I want to live well, I have to go to Southern Chu to fight for the throne."
Shen Xian was silent for a moment, nodded, and asked, "When will Xie Yuan come to Beijing?"
"Uncle Xie won't come to Beijing in a short time. He said that I have grown up and I can handle my own affairs." Su Rong shook his head, "My father can't live without him. Now that he has been promoted to the governor of Jiangzhou, he must If you want to control Jiangzhou in a short time, you need Uncle Xie's help. After all, now the eldest prince and the second prince are eyeing Jiangzhou. By accident, my father was involved. Since he has been promoted, why can't he You need to secure your position."
Shen Xian nodded, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. Capital is his sad place, and he probably won't be happy to come."
After he finished speaking, he asked Mrs. Shen, "Tomorrow, the Chengguo Duke's Mansion will hold a birthday banquet, right? As for the niece of the Second Young Master Ye, you can go to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion and take the opportunity to meet Ye Guixue. He is the most popular person in Ye Xiang's Mansion." Promising descendants, explore his background and see what trend the Ye family is in. It makes no sense that all the forces in Southern Chu have been mobilized. The Ye family would not know the identity of Xiao Qi, especially if he comes to Beijing at this time, it is very suspicious. He didn't send the person here long ago, and he didn't send the person here until later. The reason why he sent the person here at this time must be for an ulterior purpose, and he is afraid that he is here for Xiao Qi."
