Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 114 Sowing discord
Seeing Shen Jing remained silent, Ji Anyu persuaded him softly.

"Ah Jing, after we get married, Prince Zhong's Mansion and I will share the same fate."

She thought it through and realized that if Shen Jing really wanted to rebel, he would have planned it long ago.

If Shen Jing died, he would leave traces of rebellion, which would expose Shen Jing's rebellious intentions sooner or later. By then, even if Shen Jing died, she would be implicated if it was discovered.

Ji Anyu wanted to take this opportunity to confirm whether Shen Jing wanted to rebel so that she could make plans for the next step.

Shen Jing looked at Ji Anyu's serious expression. He took a step closer to Ji Anyu with a cold look in his eyes.

"Anyu, if I were a traitor, would you listen to Wei Songlin and kill me?"

Ji Anyu's heart trembled, and she calmed down her wildly fluctuating emotions.

"I will not listen to Wei Songlin. To outsiders, you and I are already one. Killing you will not benefit me. This deal is not worth it."

Ji Anyu saw that Shen Jing's expression had not changed, so she looked straight into Shen Jing's eyes.

"If I were Wei Songlin, after you died, the next one would be Ji Anyu, so I wouldn't be stupid enough to kill you."

The coldness in Shen Jing's eyes warmed up, he put on a faint smile and placed Ji Anyu's hand on his chest.

"My father holds military power and is more powerful than the emperor. The emperor has warned him many times. I am his only legitimate son. He was afraid that the emperor would hurt me, so he told me to keep a low profile. For some reason, my mother had a grudge against my father. She didn't understand my father's painstaking efforts. Later, my mother was secretly murdered. My father wanted to find out the truth, but the queen mother sent someone to stop him."

Ji Anyu guiltily held Shen Jing's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I made you bring up these sad things again. You said before that your mother died of illness, but I didn't expect there was another hidden story."

"It's okay. I didn't tell you the truth then." Shen Jing rubbed her hand and smiled gently.

"Since then, my father has been devastated. He is tired of being suspected by the emperor all day long. He is afraid that I will be plotted against by traitors. It happened that the border was turbulent again, and my father sent troops. He decided to return the military power to the emperor after returning to the court, but he... Over the years, I have secretly investigated and searched for my father, but to no avail."

Hatred flashed across Shen Jing's eyes. "I suspect the Emperor is responsible for my father's disappearance. Every time I find a clue, it's always cut off or blocked. There are even assassins from the palace who are trying to assassinate me."

Ji Anyu suddenly had an idea. "A Jing, do you want to use the Wei family to deal with the emperor?"

"Yes!"

"No wonder you kept Wei Songlin alive."

Ji Anyu felt a chill down his spine. "Ah Jing, if the Emperor dies and the Wei family wants to kill you, then the Second Prince can't be the Emperor. Then... have you decided who will be the Emperor? Or should we let the Crown Prince ascend the throne smoothly?"

Shen Jing smiled confidently, "The Crown Prince is a blind fool, and his confidant is Wei Luoyan. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Wei Luoyan will definitely hurt you because he has the merit of following the Dragon. I don't want the Crown Prince to be the Emperor."

Ji Anyu felt complicated, and it was all because of her.

She looked around cautiously, then stood on tiptoe to get close to Shen Jing's ear.

"A Jing, do you have a choice in mind?"

A warm breath blew into Shen Jing's ears. Shen Jing rolled his throat in a slightly embarrassed manner and leaned over like Ji Anyu.

"At worst, I can assist the young emperor." If that doesn't work, he can just sit in that position himself.

Ji Anyu's pupils moved slightly. Shen Jing really had the intention of rebellion.

Is this considered jumping into another new fire pit?
The struggle for imperial power has always been a life-and-death struggle.

Shen Jing guessed the struggle in Ji Anyu's eyes and reached out to lift Ji Anyu's chin.

"Why do you look so miserable? Are you scared?"

When Ji Anyu saw that her thoughts were exposed by Shen Jing, she forced a smile.

"I'm just an ordinary little girl. It's normal to be afraid. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. It would be strange if I weren't afraid, right?"

Shen Jing embraced Ji Anyu, "Didn't you say you had to marry me? I originally wanted to go to the palace to ask the emperor to cancel the marriage, but you were unwilling at that time. Now you know how dangerous it is to be around me, right?" Ji Anyu leaned her head on Shen Jing's shoulder, "A Jing, why did you tell me the truth? You could have lied to me and let me marry into Prince Zhong's mansion without knowing anything."

"You said it yourself that we all prosper together and we all suffer together. Now you can't cancel the engagement even if you want to. It's a foregone conclusion."

Shen Jing closed his eyes and said, "When I have completed my mission, I will let you choose the life you want."

Ji Anyu had mixed feelings and let the two lean on each other to calm his mind.

At this time, Zhusha came back to report, "My Lord, Wei Songlin is injured."

Shen Jing suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Pass on this prince's order to leave the mountain immediately."

"Yes!"

When Xu Yuyan learned that Shen Jing and the others were going down the mountain, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Shen Jing and Wei Songlin, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. He planned to go back to find the house deed and go down the mountain tomorrow to discuss the house with the hunter.

When Ji Anyu saw Xu Yuyan leaving, he knew that Xu Yuyan didn't want to get involved in any trouble.

"Sooner or later, Wei Songlin will find out that Xu Yuyan helped me. Will he vent his anger on Xu Yuyan? After all, it was me who implicated him."

Shen Jing thought about Wei Songlin's personality and left two secret guards to protect Xu Yuyan.

"Actually, it's me who got you into trouble." Shen Jing held Ji Anyu tightly, "After we go down the mountain, we must be more careful from now on."

"Yeah." Ji Anyu cherishes her life very much, and she doesn't want to die early.

"By the way, you had a nosebleed last time. Is it still happening now? Is it cured?"

Last time?

Shen Jing recalled what happened that day, and those erotic scenes appeared in his mind again, and his breathing became rapid.

Ji Anyu noticed that something was wrong with Shen Jing and looked at him anxiously.

"What's wrong with you? Is all the remaining poison in your body gone? Don't be careless." Her life and property now depend on Shen Jing.

Shen Jing was embarrassed at first, but then he saw Ji Anyu's sincere concern for him.

His eyebrows curved in joy, "It's okay, I'm fine now."

"That's good."

Shen Jing helped Ji Anyu down the mountain. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Wei Songlin waiting for them in a panic.

Seeing that Shen Jing was safe and sound and Ji Anyu looked sickly, Wei Songlin couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed with Ji Anyu.

"Miss Ji Er, I had high hopes for you, but you can't even handle such a small matter, and you even hurt yourself."

Ji Anyu rolled her eyes at Wei Songlin.

"Master Wei is much stronger than me, but you still failed. I see that Master Wei's injury is more serious than mine. Is there no one to bandage Master Wei's wound? Master Wei, you are really unpopular."

Wei Songlin glanced down at the broken arrow stuck in his body.

"I am not like the prince who is surrounded by capable people. The prince has Miss Ji to serve him. I am used to being rough. I will go back to the mansion to treat my injuries."

Ji Anyu refused to give in and retorted.

"It turns out that Lord Wei also knows that his life is rough. I advise Lord Wei to get married as soon as possible. That way, Lord Wei will have someone caring for him and won't have to worry about trivial things all day long."
