Chapter 253 Want Shen You to Stand on His Side
Wen Zhi nodded reluctantly.

Of course he didn't want Shen You and Li Heng to be alone together, but he understood what Shen You meant.

Besides, he would never control her to do things according to his own wishes.

The servant pushed open the door of another private room. Although it was said to be next door, it was actually quite far away.

Most of the guests who come to this floor are of high status, so it is guaranteed that there will be no eavesdroppers.

Otherwise, this teahouse cannot be opened in such a good location without some strength.

He Haizhou, who was dressed simply and had obviously suffered a lot, bowed deeply to Wen Zhi.

Exiled from the capital, it is impossible for him to come back so soon. He must wait until the new king ascends the throne.

If the old emperor was not too busy with these things, Li Heng would not have dared to send him back to the capital.

However, it was Shen You who delivered the things along the way, otherwise they would not have been able to survive the exile.

Wen Zhi accepted the gift without saying anything. He Haizhou spoke up, "Thank you, Master Imperial Master and Shopkeeper Shen, for helping save the lives of my family."

“When I returned to Beijing, I passed by my ancestral home and found a letter left by my ancestors, saying that the He family was ashamed of their loyalty to you and that they did not dare to ask for your forgiveness.

If you come back in the future and need the He family, as long as it does not harm the country and the people of Da Qi, the He family will do its best to help you. "

Wen Zhi forced a cold smile on his face, his voice full of sarcasm.

"Damage the country and the people of Da Qi? Isn't the person who did this your emperor?"

"The He family doesn't have to do anything for me. General He has already paid for it with his life."

-

At this time, the other side.

Li Heng handed the lantern in his hand to Shen You, "This is the top prize of today's lantern festival. I remember that Miss Shen was very interested in these little gadgets from Da Qi."

Shen You didn't reach out to take it, but just said, "Thank you, but I didn't win the lantern, and the meaning of being the only one is not what I want."

Hearing the refusal, Li Heng's eyes flashed with a hint of depression, but his expression was not surprised.

He saw Shen You at the lantern festival just now.

In the dim light, her and another man's figures were too eye-catching, so the vendor mistook them for a couple, and the man gave them a silver ingot as a tip.

She turned around and handed the sugar painting in her hand to him for him to taste.

Looking at the smile on her face, Li Heng wished he could replace the people around her, and the strong emotion in his heart was jealousy.

He is the crown prince of Da Qi, so there is no need for him to be jealous of anyone.

Miss Shen must like the Lantern Festival in Daqi, Li Heng thought. She would take a closer look at every new style of lantern, at least Daqi had something she liked.

"It's impossible for my brother to take that position anymore."

Li Heng looked at the thousands of lights reflected in the river below, the prosperous and flourishing world, and continued,

"Jinghe came to ask me to save their mother. I was shaken, but later I learned that on the day when the imperial concubine was ordered to be confined by my father, someone took the order and sent the white silk and poisoned wine."

In order to prevent any accidents after his death, he decided to take action first.

He grew up in such a place, and he had to be cautious at every step, not daring to slack off, which made him even more jealous of the man who could get Miss Shen's wholehearted help.

Shen You didn't know why he suddenly started talking about his family affairs. Old Deng was known for his cruelty.

Just when I was in the study room of Wen Zhi's mansion, I received the news that the imperial concubine had poisoned the old emperor and they wanted to kill him and seize the throne.

How important is power to the old emperor? Can he tolerate this?

Shen You waited for Li Heng's next words.

"Being in the royal family, I have to fight. This road is too cold. I want someone to stand at the highest point with me and create a prosperous world together." Li Heng looked deeply at Shen You, "Miss Shen, if this person is you, I will promise in front of the world and all the ministers that there will never be another woman in the harem, and you and I can hold power in the court together."

It is really touching that the crown prince in ancient times could make such a promise and even give power.

But, it just sounds like that.

She is living a good life, why should she rely on a man to give her any rights?
Why don't we just give up the good life of freedom and equality and stay in the feudal era, giving away materials and advanced technology for free to others and help them create a prosperous era?
Finally got the title of Crown Princess or Queen?

Li Heng's sincerity sounds so extraordinary, isn't it all because she has resources that are beyond this era?

At the end of the day, weigh the pros and cons.

Today he could promise to share power with her, but tomorrow he might kill her in order to seize power or control the store.

Why did Shen You go gambling?

She wants to create a prosperous era and make the country strong, unless she becomes the emperor herself!

She can't do anything that would benefit others and bring no benefit to herself.

"If I say that if I stay, I will lose the shop. Can you still offer me conditions to share the world?" Shen You said in a light voice.

Li Heng had never thought that she would ask this. He opened his lips but could not answer for a moment.

See, the answer is obvious.

Even if you say you are willing now, you may not be willing in the future.

"Miss Shen"

Li Heng wanted to explain further, but Shen You interrupted him.
"You dare to say that your desire to marry me has nothing to do with my shop and cotton textile technology, or Molotov cocktails?"

Li Heng closed his eyes, not wanting to say something that was inconsistent with his heart, so he agreed.

Shen You looked at him and expressed his attitude again.

"I said it last time. I have never been someone who can create a prosperous world with you. We are not even on the same path. I am a businessman and I only talk about business."

This time it is different. Everyone knows it well. On the surface, it is the people who are being rejected, but in reality it is the camps.

She must help Wen Zhi break the impasse and get the sword of Emperor Taizu of Great Qi. There is no room for negotiation on this matter.

Li Heng may not care how long the old emperor can live, but as he sits in that position, he can't help but want to keep the sword for Da Qi. This is also human nature.

"What about him? Miss Shen once said that she would not get involved in Da Qi's affairs, but she joined for him. Is he the same as you?"

Before Shen You could say anything, the door was pushed open and Wen Zhi's voice came first, "She naturally treats me differently."

He raised his voice in a lazy tone, and his eyes were cold when he turned to Li Heng.

"Where she lives, men are not allowed to take concubines and must observe male virtues. There is no so-called imperial power."

Li Heng frowned slightly, and he was no longer restrained as before when facing Wen Zhi. The fierceness of a person in a high position was revealed at this moment.

I already have murderous intent in my heart.

But when he heard the word "male virtue", a trace of surprise flashed across his face. This word was too unfamiliar to him.

"Boss, he just wants to make you a sucker." Wen Zhi said to Shen You directly in front of Li Heng.

"Da Qi is a mess."

Whoever takes over will know that the problems accumulated under the old emperor's governance have become very serious and will explode sooner or later.

Li Heng has always been strict in observing etiquette. When he heard Wen Zhi say this, his face darkened a little and the rest of the words were squeezed out of his throat.

"I'm very curious about Miss Shen's question just now. How would the Imperial Master answer? Aren't you asking for Miss Shen's help?"

He admitted that he came here today to get Miss Shen to stand on his side.
