Chapter 140 Taking advantage of the situation
Chapter 140 Taking advantage of the situation
The two of them interacted with the baby in her belly for a long time, then they hugged each other contentedly for a while. In the end, Zhao Xun let her go because he was worried that her body couldn't bear it.
"Huan'er, why did you come to me?"
"I have found the culprit who spread rumors in the palace."
"Huh? So fast?" Zhao Xun was very surprised and said with a smile, "Huan'er, I underestimated you. I didn't expect my beloved wife to have such great ability." He praised her generously. The more he looked at his little wife, the more satisfied he was.
Shen Yihuan thought about it and asked, "Is this good or bad?"
I don’t know what I’m thinking. If I were a smart person, I would never say that.
She thought that she must have become stupid. It is said that a woman who is pregnant will become stupid for three years. She was pregnant with two babies at once, so she must have been stupid for six years.
"Of course it's okay." Zhao Xun kissed her on the face, but not satisfied, he kissed her red lips again, but he just kissed her lightly and didn't dare to go deeper.
There was no way, he was afraid that he would lose control of himself and eat his wife while tasting. Now his wife's belly was so big, if anything happened to the child, he would never forgive himself.
Speaking of which, ever since Shen Yihuan became pregnant, he didn't dare touch her because she was weak at first. Later, when he found out that she was pregnant with two, he became even more cautious.
So, except for the first month or so, he was fasting for the next five months and was already starving.
He also didn't think about going hunting for food. Firstly, he wasn't interested in it, and secondly, he didn't want to make his young wife sad.
He couldn't do such a beastly thing as going out to hunt in the wild when his wife was pregnant.
Then, Shen Yihuan slowly told Zhao Xun what Hongye and Jinsong had found out.
When Zhao Xun heard the names of those officials from Shen Yihuan's mouth, his face became more and more uglier.
"Damn the Liu family! My father valued them so much and gave them the highest honor in the past, but what did they do? They don't know what is good for them and even dare to harbor evil intentions. They deserve to be damned."
"Then Brother Xun, how do you want to deal with them?"
"Huan'er, do you have any good suggestions?"
"It is better to take advantage of the situation and lure the enemy into the trap."
"That's exactly what I want, Huan'er. We are a couple and we really have a tacit understanding."
Afterwards, Shen Yihuan told Zhao Xun about his idea and received his praise.
"Okay, this is even better. Huan'er still needs your delicate mind. In this way, I'm afraid that we won't be able to uproot Prince Su's party."
"I'm sorry to inconvenience Brother Xun. You were originally a wise king, but now you have to pretend to be incompetent in order to lure the snake out of its hole." Shen Yihuan said these words against his will, but his face was already full of joy.
"I wonder if Brother Xun can pretend?"
Zhao Xun, however, had a proud look on his face and said with great joy: "Huan'er, you have forgotten what I was like before. I don't need to pretend. It's enough to show my previous eccentricities." He said it as if it was such a glorious thing.
Afterwards, the two smiled at each other, and saw a little fox in each other's eyes.
"Huan'er, have a good rest. I'll go back and get ready." Zhao Xun saw her yawning several times in a row and knew that she had been easily sleepy since she became pregnant, so he spoke considerately.
Shen Yihuan really couldn't bear it anymore. After getting pregnant, her energy was not as good as before.
She yawned gracefully again, nodded, and walked towards the bedroom with the support of Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun personally settled Shen Yihuan down before getting up and walking out.
The strategy they discussed was to make the matter bigger and out of control.
So after Zhao Xun returned, the first thing he did was to instruct Xu Liang not only to stop the spread of rumors, but also to spread them vigorously.
Soon, the news spread not only throughout the palace, but also to every street and alley in the capital.
The current emperor and empress are half-siblings. They are having an incestuous relationship and should stop it immediately.
In the major teahouses of the capital, the gossip that people talk about after dinner is the latest royal scandal.
However, no one dared to discuss it openly. They basically gathered in groups of three or five, whispering to each other secretly.
Even so, the impact is quite bad.
Liu Mansion in Beijing
After hearing the report from his servant, the head of the Liu family was a little confused.
"Why did this rumor spread so quickly?" This speed was far beyond his expectations.
"Master, I don't know. It seems like there is an invisible hand behind this, pushing this matter forward. I don't know whether the person behind this is an enemy or a friend."
"I hope so, it's a friend." The master of the Liu family forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart. Thinking of his family's current situation and what Prince Su promised, he shook hands tightly.
In order to maintain wealth and prosperity for three generations, some risks have to be taken.
......
Prime Minister Shen hurried back to the Prime Minister's residence with the rumor paper in his hand. He knelt in the Longtai Palace for more than an hour, his mind was in a mess, and it took him a long time to sort it out.
He was no longer in a hurry to resign. He picked up his official hat, left the palace, and hurried back to the prime minister's residence.
He thought for a long time and finally found the crux of the problem.
If we were to ask who in the world knows Shen Yihuan's life experience best, it would undoubtedly be Princess Zhao Jianing. After all, she is her nominal mother.
Prime Minister Shen stepped into the courtyard he had not set foot in for many years, and walked hurriedly towards the main room where the eldest princess lived.
The eldest princess seemed to have received the news long ago, so the moment he pushed open the door, she sat upright on the soft chair, facing the door.
"You finally took the initiative to come to me." She showed a bitter smile on her face, her eyes still looking at him stupidly.
After all these years, her feelings for him remain the same as when they first met.
Shen Xiangguo turned his head away slightly, not wanting to look at her infatuated eyes. Although this woman loved him very much, she did many things that hurt him.
He will never forgive her in this life.
"Why, you don't even want to look at me now."
"Zhao Jianing, what's going on with Huan'er?" Thinking of Huan'er's face that looked 50% similar to Zhiqiu, he felt that he was so stupid that he hadn't figured it out for all these years.
"As you can see, she is Ye Zhiqiu's daughter."
"why?"
The eldest princess showed a hint of sarcasm on her face: "You ask why she became my daughter?"
She lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, and suddenly looked up, her eyes became sinister.
"Haha, this is all your fault. If it weren't for you, my Nian'er wouldn't have died in the womb, but that damn bitch gave birth to a healthy child. Why? Why is it that both she and her daughter are safe, while I have to suffer the pain of losing my daughter and end up unable to get pregnant again for the rest of my life."
"So, I took advantage of her weakness and secretly took her child away. After she lost her child, she became insane. The late emperor originally wanted to send her to Qingyue Temple to recuperate, but the pain of losing her child had broken her down, and she died of illness in the temple not long after."
