Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!
Chapter 816: Borrowing StrengthShen Shuyi exchanged greetings with Concubine Jing for a while, then got up and left.
Concubine Jing looked at Shen Shuyi's back, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
The Ninth Princess Xiao Canyang came out from the inner room and said, "Mother, this Shen Shuyi is really ungrateful and shameless! I was so polite to her because she helped you to overthrow Concubine Rou, but I didn't expect..."
Concubine Jing raised her hand, signaling her not to continue.
"If possible, I don't want to be her enemy, but I'm afraid that this incident was also caused by her."
Concubine Jing was a little annoyed. She had dealt with Shen Shuyi before and knew that although the girl was young, she was not someone to be trifled with.
Shen Shuyi had been misleading her before, making her think that it was Lu Qing and Xiao Heyu who bullied her in every way, so she stood on his side and deliberately took revenge.
Now it seems that she was obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Heyu and the Lu family's behavior, so she was plotting in secret.
If this is true, she must also be disgusted with Yuncheng using Jinglou to make money.
It is impossible to bribe such a person.
"Mother, what should we do now? Should we just leave it like this?" Xiao Canyang was upset.
Xiao Heyu finally died, and his own brother was in the limelight.
Unexpectedly, he encountered such a thing before he was crowned as the crown prince.
Concubine Jing frowned and said in a deep voice: "The most urgent thing now is not to cause trouble for Shen Shuyi. They acted too quickly this time and did not give us any time to react. The most important thing right now is how to get your brother out of this matter."
After Shen Shuyi left, he met Xiao Yuncheng halfway through his journey.
Xiao Yuncheng had just left Emperor Qianwu's study, and his face was not looking good. He was unable to get any information out of his father, so he became more and more uneasy.
When he met Shen Shuyi this time, he naturally wouldn't be in a good mood.
After all, in this incident, both Shen Jingan and Shen Shuhan were members of their Shen family.
"Greetings, His Majesty the Eighth Prince." Shen Shuyi bowed and greeted.
Xiao Yuncheng looked at her calmly, unable to hide his anger, and said slowly: "Minister Shen is a good parent. His children all have great ambitions."
Shen Shuyi heard the dissatisfaction and sarcasm in his words, and said calmly: "My brother and I have always been at odds with my second brother, and I am not very clear about what my second brother has done. But no matter what, please believe me, Your Highness, I have no intention of becoming an enemy of Your Highness."
Xiao Yuncheng sneered: "If the princess says this, I may believe it, but your brother..."
It was obvious that Shen Shuhan had known about Shen Jingan's purchase of the essay from Yu Jinglou for a long time, but he kept it a secret and instead made a big move directly.
Shen Shuyi sighed in his heart, his brother was now attracting all the firepower towards him.
"My elder brother has a chronic disease and has stayed indoors for several years. I don't think he knows the inside story of Jinglou. He just made a fuss because he was angry at my second brother for bullying others too much."
Shen Shuyi's explanation did not make Xiao Yuncheng's face look any better.
Even so, it was a real fact that Shen Jingan and Shen Shuhan had dragged him into this!
"Humph, the princess will help him out."
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi looked directly at Xiao Yuncheng and said sincerely: "Your Highness, why bother yourself? The most urgent thing is to think of a way to deal with it."
Xiao Yuncheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "It's easy for the princess to say!"
Shen Shuyi curled his lips, smiled, and hinted: "The person behind the Jinglou is very smart. He wants to find someone to take the blame for him, but this person is too insignificant."
Xiao Yuncheng looked at her, pondering the meaning of her words: "What does the princess want to hint at?"
Shen Shuyi looked at Xiao Yuncheng and said slowly: "Your Majesty is wise and will not believe that a distant relative of the royal family has the courage and ability to do this. If Your Highness does not want to implicate himself, the best way is..."
"How?" Xiao Yuncheng asked anxiously.
"Of course it's about shifting the blame elsewhere and sharing the guilt." Shen Shuyi looked straight at him, hinting at something.
Xiao Yuncheng thought about it again and again. What Shen Shuyi meant was that it was not enough to just ask his second uncle to take the blame, but he also had to find someone behind the scenes to take the blame.
You can be involved, but you can never be the mastermind.
There must be a person of equal weight standing in front of him to make his father believe that he was just deceived and his crime did not deserve the death penalty.
But where would he find this person?
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Your Highness, the dead will not speak to defend themselves."
After saying that, Shen Shuyi bowed and left.
Xiao Yuncheng turned around and stared at her back, thinking over and over again, then quickly walked towards Jinghe Palace.
dead?
Isn't that Xiao Heyu...
It would be good if he could put the blame on Xiao Heyu, but he and Xiao Heyu had never gotten along well. How could he gain people's trust if he put all the blame on Xiao Heyu?
No, that's not right.
Could it be that she was not referring to Xiao Heyu, but was trying to frame someone else and then kill him to silence him?
But who could he blame for all this?
Xiao Yuncheng arrived at Jinghe Palace and discussed with Concubine Jing and Xiao Canyang for a while, and finally set his sights on Xiao Tingshan.
Xiao Tingshan was previously in the same party as Xiao Heyu, and now he is the long-lost son of Emperor Qianwu. Unfortunately, he has no roots in the court and no protection from his maternal family, so it is most appropriate for him to take the blame.
Xiao Yuncheng thought about it and pretended that he was also a victim who only had a limited understanding of the situation. In this way, his father would at most despise him for being dull, but would not want to kill him...
As for how to plan, we need to think about it in the long run.

On the other side, after Shen Shuyi got on the carriage, Qin Xin couldn't help but speak: "Miss, don't you always hate people like the Eighth Prince who disregard the lives of the people for their own selfish desires? Why are you helping him now?"
Shen Shuyi glanced at her and chuckled, "Who said I was helping him? Guess who he would choose if he wanted to find someone to take the blame for him?"
Qin Xin thought for a moment: "Of course I have to choose someone who is of high status and is the easiest to control."
"That's right. Right now, there is a ready-made candidate." Shen Shuyi's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were full of calculations.
"Are you referring to the Sixth Prince?" Jinzhu couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Shen Shuyi raised the corners of his lips: "It's not that easy for Xiao Yuncheng to choose someone to take the blame. In order to cover up a mistake, people often make more mistakes. But the more he struggles, the more he jumps up and down in the eyes of His Majesty, and the more His Majesty will dislike him."
"Although Xiao Tingshan is weak now, he is not a persimmon that can be bullied by others. Both of them are not good people. It is good for us no matter who loses in the fight."
Shen Shuyi leaned on the couch, thinking that Emperor Qianwu had just killed his own son not long ago, and he would definitely not have the heart to kill Xiao Yuncheng now.
But that was only temporary. After all, although Emperor Qianwu valued friendship and loyalty, he was not a soft-hearted person.
Therefore, the more Xiao Yuncheng struggled, the faster he would die.
