Seeing Su Jinruo's somewhat blackened face, the corner of Shen Hancheng's lips curled up into a casual smile.
He said lazily, "This King is afraid there might be something dirty..."
There were no cockroaches at the bottom of the cliff. The clothes that were all wrapped up in three layers and placed in the closet were completely different from those found in other places. Other than Ox, Ghost, Snake and God, which animal could enter, it was obvious … An excuse!
If Su Jinruo was a girl with distinct emotions, he would definitely wave his fist at Shen Hancheng, who had an extremely beautiful face that could anger both the gods and the gods, and add:
F * ck, you make it up again, make it up again!
Only, Su Jinruo was Su Jinruo after all. In an instant, he had retracted all of his emotions and Su Jinruo said indifferently:
"Since you're familiar with this place, I wonder, when do we leave?"
The events within the palace changed in an instant.
The style of the imperial court was the same.
In just a single day, the world had changed. It wasn't an exaggeration.
She could not be like Shen Hancheng, who could do whatever he wanted with his own heart.
Shen Hancheng's identity was noble, adding on the protection of the Old Emperor, no matter how big the change in the imperial court was, it would not affect him much.
But she … No!
Besides, her nominal father was a man of wild ambition.
She had to be on guard!
Shen Hancheng shot a glance at Su Jinruo. He originally wanted to reply directly, but she simply looked at him with her deep black eyes, and the corner of her lips slightly pursed.
It was this defensive stance again …
Eyes slightly blinking, Shen Hancheng suddenly changed the topic. "Let me tell you, who was the one who set this up. What do you think?"
Su Jinruo's attention was instantly attracted, to the person who laid the trap, she had never thought about it.
This person was extremely crafty. Not only did he rarely make a move, but once he did, many unrelated people would be dragged into it.
It was simply impossible to guess...
The assassination yesterday was definitely the assassination attempt by the person who laid the trap. There was no mistake. Although she did not know why the person who set the trap would suddenly attack them, but …
Presumably, the person in front of him must have done something in secret that caused him to act …
After thinking about it, Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng, and felt that he was hiding something, "If Your Highness is willing, this official will listen!"
Shen Hancheng's expression was calm and collected: "If you agree to two conditions with this duke, this duke will help you."
Su Jinruo, "... "Your Highness, please speak."
Everything had to be paid for, she knew that.
Shen Hancheng said: "First, live on the cliff for three days, including yesterday."
In other words, he could leave the day after tomorrow. Thinking that it was still reasonable, Su Jinruo nodded his head and agreed.
"Secondly, you will have to sleep in the grass hut for the remaining two nights."
No need for Shen Hancheng to say anything, she wouldn't even sleep outside the house, and what's more, wasn't she also sleeping inside the house yesterday?!
Although he was confused by Shen Hancheng's conditions, he was anxious to know, so Su Jinruo agreed: "For these two conditions, this official has no objections, I plead for Your Highness to give me a few pointers."
Seeing that she had agreed, Shen Hancheng's eyes flashed with a faint light as he said:
"First, let's talk about the conditions he might have."
Su Jinruo said: "This person has the Soul Aroma, is well-informed, and... He was absolutely calm and was extremely good at guessing people's hearts. Adding on his understanding of the Grand Commandant's whereabouts, the Emperor's decisions, his understanding of the Princess Xiwei's temperament, and his understanding of the crown prince, this official thinks that he has definitely … People from the royal family! "
The Soul Divergence Incense could only be possessed by the royal family, or else, the Old Emperor would personally bestow it to those ministers with high achievements, these people would be the target of their suspicions.
Available... If he wanted to have someone with both the above conditions, his power would be extremely great.
Within the imperial harem, there were his people, and beside Old Emperor, there were also his people. Above the imperial court, there were even his people …
The only thing he could do was … Only then would he be able to receive all sorts of messages at the same time.
Set the trap, let me jump, lead Shen Hancheng to jump!
Furthermore, his temperament was extremely calm. Else, it would be impossible for him to do nothing at all.
Su Jinruo had always been a smart person, so Shen Hancheng really liked this aspect of her.
He continued to lead the way. "This King once said that his people have followed him to a side courtyard. It was the same side courtyard that This King brought you to last time. In that place, I've heard of his zither playing. This person understands the Dao of the Sound Slaughter. Guess again, who could it be? "
If it wasn't for …
That time, when that person caressed the guqin, it just so happened that Qian Yijian was well versed in the music and knew that he had struck a chord that day. Otherwise, he would not have been able to confirm his identity so quickly.
People from the royal family who understood the way of the sound killing …
The zither was the first of the six arts. People in the royal family definitely had to learn the zither arts.
The Crown Prince understood the art of the zither, so it was inevitable.
As the crown prince of a country and the future king, he had to learn how to play the zither.
However, the Crown Prince's zither skills … If he wasn't outstanding enough, he wouldn't be able to walk the path of sound killing.
In the middle of the court, the mysterious Fifth Prince also knew the art of the zither. It could even be said that he was extremely familiar with the control of the rhythm.
However, he did not have a powerful background, and although he was calm, he did not like any battles in the Imperial Palace. Furthermore, he did not have such a powerful force, so …
He had long since begged Old Emperor to seal him as a king and teleport him far away from the capital. It was just that Old Emperor had never agreed to it.
The Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng was naturally impossible.
Ninth Prince...
His mother was the current empress, and his wife was the Grand Commandant. Even though he had demoted her to the secondary wife …
Suddenly realizing something, Su Jinruo's eyes shook and he blurted out, "Ninth Prince, could it be that the person who set this up was Ninth Prince?!"
Shen Hancheng looked at her with praise. "You are more... "It's much smarter than I imagined."
He had only casually given a hint, and Su Jinruo had immediately guessed who had set this up.
However, what Su Jinruo did not know was that there were a total of five people in the imperial court who understood the way of the Sound Slaughter.
In the middle of the court, there was a Grand Commandant Lin.
The royal family, including the Fifth Prince, the Ninth Prince, and himself, there was another … It was the Consort Mother.
"But …" Su Jinruo still had some doubts, "It has been two years since Ninth Prince withdrew from the imperial government. Even if he had connections in the imperial court, who could it be?"
Halfway through his words, Su Jinruo suddenly stopped in his tracks, and looked at Shen Hancheng in shock, "Grand Commandant?!"
Earlier, she had made a huge mistake.
She had been thinking about who had the ability to know so much.
The Grand Commandant was an important official of the imperial court. Who could easily know his whereabouts?
But he had never thought that the Grand Commandant would be a participant, and not someone like the crown prince Princess Xiwei, who would hide things from others.
But...
Who would have thought that a dignified Grand Commandant would be the confidant of a spoiled prince?
That, seems to be... It was hard to believe to see a millionaire bowing his head so low to a poor family.
If not for what Shen Hancheng had just said confirming her guesses, she probably would have … He would never believe that Ninth Prince Shen Fan was the person who set the trap.
Even if Shen Fan met the requirements, she was afraid that it would also be the case. She would need to probe him a bit before she could believe this truth.
After all … The Ninth Prince who was like jade, the Ninth Prince who had long retired, the Ninth Prince who was not favored by the Old Emperor, his identity was the mastermind, this was really …
It was unbelievable!
He kept having the feeling that it was his intuition that something was wrong with the evidence he had found. How could the person who set the trap be … Him?!
But, if Grand Commandant is someone from the Ninth Prince …
After that, everything was fine.
The matter of the Compendium Pavilion was deeply related to the Grand Commandant, and the appearance of the Crown Prince at the other courtyard that night was also related to the Grand Commandant.
Even though the Grand Commandant Lin was not present, there must be someone from the Grand Commandant Lin among them.
In Su Jinruo's heart, he let out a long sigh.
What a deep water, this time...
She had fallen into the gutter.
Shen Hancheng coldly smiled.
He believed that Su Jinruo had already guessed everything, and it could even be said that … He knew everything.
When he had guessed that the person behind the scenes was him, he had also found it hard to believe.
What kind of thoughts did Shen Fan have? He pushed himself into the shadows, and hid in the shadows.
Back then, he was so dazzling. If not, how could the Grand Commandant's direct daughter have fallen in love with him?
Shen Fan had personally cut off all of his splendor and splendor, and hid himself in the shadows, calmly and peacefully. After two years without any ripples, just what kind of character did he have, how calm and steady was he?!
And now, using this kind of method, he had told himself that he, Shen Fan … It's coming back!
Really … A provocation!
To provoke him, Shen Hancheng!
But so what?
Shen Hancheng crazily curled her lips, but no one came out … He would be able to design a plan and retreat safely!
Su Jinruo raised his eyes and looked at Shen Hancheng, "If it's the Ninth Prince, then there's one suspicious point, this official does not understand."
Shen Hancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Then, he opened his lips and asked: "Ever since the assassination yesterday, what did the Duke do to make him act like this …? Unable to hold it in, you sent people to assassinate me?! "
Mentioning the events from yesterday, Shen Hancheng's pitch-black eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
A memory slowly filtered through his mind.
Yesterday, Shen Hancheng warned Su Jinruo that he should not take advantage of his thoughts. After that, he released Su Jinruo's hand and walked away.
It was just that, before he had even returned to the great hall, Dongling Liusu was already on his way.
The ministers and officials of the imperial court were all accompanying the Old Emperor.
As he indifferently swept his eyes over the ministers, Shen Hancheng's gaze landed on a lone Grand Commandant Lin.
His expression did not change, he raised his leg and walked towards the Grand Commandant Lin.
Qian Yi had been looking for him for a long time, and now that he saw him, she immediately caught up to him.
Qian Yi did not say a word, but Shen Hancheng opened his mouth and said: "Take away Bin Yang's people, so they do not have to take action."
Shen Hancheng's voice was extremely cold, this was … Qian Yi's heart was startled, he did not know what just happened.
However …
If the master was willing to remove Bynum's people, no matter what the reason was, he would be happy to see it.
Qian Yi cupped his hands, just as he was about to accept, he heard Shen Hancheng's command again.
"Forget it …" There's no need to withdraw Bing Yang's men. Let them act according to their plans. "
