The number one rebel of the Great Wu

"What does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianying immediately raised his head.

He also remembered that incident.

"Regarding the matter of the Imperial Study, there are only two groups of people involved, which can be seen as the two factions of the Second Prince and the Third Prince."

"When the Emperor asked that question, he was looking at us, so it's clear that the person he was waiting for was related to us."

"Secondly, when His Majesty was giving instructions today, he kept referring to his ancestors as 'Grand Ancestor'."

"It seems that His Majesty himself is not too happy with these arrangements. This ancestor is not only suppressing us, but also suppressing His Majesty himself."

"The Emperor has plans for all of us, or rather, our ancestors have made plans for us."

"And the person who didn't appear today, in the Emperor's mind, is perhaps the only variable."

Shen Lang was meticulous and quickly analyzed the situation thoroughly.

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Could it be... Guan'er?"

"Your Majesty and Guan'er have only met a few times... Why is Your Majesty suddenly so concerned about Guan'er?"

Shen Tianying naturally thought of his third son, Shen Guan.

After all, their family was only missing a third child; everyone else was there!

I don't think so.

"Second sister, I think you might have some clues about this matter."

Shen Lang shook his head, then turned his gaze to Shen Qingci.

"I have a lead?"

Shen Qingci already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

"You, a woman, shouldn't have been present at today's events."

"The Emperor's decree specifically states that if you are present, you can go with him."

"He explained everything to you, and then just told you to wait on the side."

"After we all left, we left you all alone."

Shen Lang's expression was serious.

"Second sister, now is the time for the life and death of our Shen family. You cannot have anything else to do."

"Keep it from my brother and father, shall we?"

Shen Qingci was almost in tears.

My brother is too clever; he's practically threatening my doorstep.

"I...maybe I know a little bit."

"Brother, do you still remember the person your husband recommended to you?"

"That little eunuch?"

Shen Lang was slightly taken aback, and quickly entered a state of deep thought.

"Hey, isn't that the one who saved the Emperor at Beiqing Temple the other day?"

Shen Tianying also heard about this.

That makes sense.

After a moment's thought, Shen Lang immediately turned his head.

"That little eunuch is indeed exceptional; even the Emperor speaks highly of him."

"You seem to be saying that you got him out of prison, so he must be the most loyal to you. Does he often follow you around?"

"So the Emperor tacitly agrees that he may have gone to the Shen family with you."

Shen Lang nodded repeatedly.

"Excellent, excellent!"

"That's all right now!"

As he spoke, Shen Lang was also thinking, and all the things in his mind suddenly connected together.

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly, I'm dying to know!"

Shen Tianying quickly gave Shen Lang a push.

"This person was recommended to me by the Second Prince, who asked me to take him to the army for training."

"It is clear that not only the Emperor and Qingci, but even the Second Prince trust him very much."

"It seems that this person must have done a lot of earth-shattering things after entering your Crown Prince's residence."

"It seems that the ancestor intended for the second prince to inherit his mantle, while the third prince would succeed to the throne."

"Your Majesty seems to prefer the Second Prince."

Shen Lang clapped his hands.

"The crux of the matter lies here."

"As long as there is one person who can still retain the Second Prince's position after this incident."

"Then our Shen family won't be afraid, will we?"

"At least, the Emperor believes this young eunuch has the ability!"

"Second sister, what do you think?"

Shen Qingci could only manage a bitter smile.

Upon analysis, this is indeed the case.

But there is another secret in between that can directly break through the normal logic.

How could you have done that back then...?

How could I have chosen him so inexplicably!

If he hadn't been dragged into this mess, wouldn't the Shen family be fine now?

That being said...

"But I think Chen Changgeng's talents were not best displayed in the capital, but on the frontier."

Shen Qingci couldn't think of that much right now.

All she knew was that Chen Changgeng absolutely could not stay in the capital.

Even if she had to lie or coax, she was determined to get Shen Lang to take Chen Changgeng away.

"That's right, as long as we win the battle on the frontier and prevent the Third Prince from gaining great merit."

"There is still hope for our Shen family."

"And there's one more thing, Father."

Shen Lang then turned to look at his own father.

"For the sake of our Shen family."

"Our ancestor must die!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tianying was immediately dumbfounded.

So, after Xiao Yun and Shan Shang Chui Xue fight, no matter who lives or dies, I'll rush up and kill the other one?

It's inevitable that I'll have to fight a life-or-death battle with a master!

"Haha, okay, Dad got it."

"These past few days, my father has been talking to Lao Zheng, hoping that nothing goes wrong."

"My son and I, one in the capital and the other in the northern frontier, are going to risk our lives this time!"

……

Prince's Mansion.

Chen Changgeng was studying the map of the palace when a voice suddenly exploded in his mind.

"Mr. Chen, haven't you mastered the technique of transmitting sound secretly yet?"

The sound startled Chen Changgeng, who looked up and noticed three purple figures that had appeared in the center of his courtyard.

It's Qin Lan!

Chen Changgeng quickly put away the map and ran out, looking surprised.

"Isn't this Consort Qin?"

"I heard that since you entered the manor, you rarely show your face, maybe once a year."

"What brings you here today, strolling around my little courtyard?"

Qin Lan held her hands in front of her abdomen, wore a bamboo hat, and had a purple veil covering her face.

That stunningly beautiful face was deliberately concealed.

The two purple-clad maids beside him were even more exaggerated, their hands always resting on the hilts of their swords, as if they were guarding against an attack that might come at any moment.

"Since I've come to see you, I must have something to ask of you."

Qin Lan smiled slightly, walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, her movements dignified and elegant.

"Oh dear, I dare not say, I dare not say."

"Your Highness, if you need me to do anything, just give the order."

"I would go through fire and water without hesitation."

Chen Changgeng quickly went to greet them, and the two purple-clad maids raised their hands in unison.

They managed to stop Chen Changgeng three steps away.

It seemed as if Chen Changgeng was getting too close and polluting the air around Qin Lan.

Damn, this woman is such a show-off!

Chen Changgeng gritted his teeth inwardly.

"Really? You'd go through fire and water?"

"You'd do something that could cost you your head?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changgeng was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled happily.

"Yes, of course we'll do it."

"But let me ask first, whose head is going to be cut off?"

"Your Highness, you can simply tell me, and I'll go and hire someone to kill him right away!"
