I saw that the two of them were arguing again.
Shen Changle was very confused.
Glancing at the forbearing Shen Tingyu, he began to mediate:
"My Royal Brother has indeed misunderstood my Royal Uncle. The meeting was Grandpa Lang's idea, and my Royal Uncle was just going through the motions. Besides..."
She paused for a moment and spoke up for the emperor's uncle:
"Uncle Emperor has worked hard for the country for over a decade. It's time for him to consider his own affairs."
Shen Changning stared at Shen Tingyu's expression and squinted his eyes and agreed:
"Hmph, yes, the Imperial Uncle is indeed past the age to get married! So, what do you think of my appearance? Do you want me to personally arrange a marriage for him?"
Shen Changning mocked him again and again, and Shen Tingyu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Looking up and replying:
"Your Majesty, why do you have to mock me like this? I have already said that I will not get married until the affairs of state are settled!"
I'm sadder than anyone else for causing Changle's injury today! If I could, I'd even be willing to bear the pain for her!
Anyway... I have enough injuries on my body, this one is not enough."
Seeing his eyes darken as he looked away, there was a hint of grievance in his tone.
Shen Changning finally behaved himself.
He snorted coldly and said nothing more.
No one paid any attention to each other, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Shen Changle had no choice but to speak again to break the deadlock.
"Brother, please stop blaming the Imperial Uncle. He's still seriously injured and has now caught a cold. Let him go back and rest."
Shen Changning glanced at Shen Tingyu.
He was not in a good mood, folded his arms and said stubbornly:
"When did I tie his hands and feet?"
Shen Tingyu suppressed the bitterness in his heart and stood up weakly, holding on to the bed curtain.
He coughed twice and bowed to withdraw the greeting.
"I will first go to the side hall to interrogate the assassin."
He looked at Shen Changle lying on the bed again.
"Uncle Huang will come to see you later."
Then he left the bedroom with the help of the waiter.
Shen Changle looked at his pitiful back and couldn't help but blame Shen Changning.
"Brother! Why are you arguing with the Imperial Uncle again? The Imperial Uncle's injuries haven't healed yet!
Besides, what's wrong with Grandpa Lang finding a wife for the emperor's uncle to take care of his daily life?"
Shen Changning was speechless after being asked this question.
I couldn't figure it out for a moment and couldn't help asking myself:
Yes, why would he be unhappy when the Regent looks at a girl?
He is unhappy...
He must be angry because he caused Changle to get injured!
Otherwise, if it was just a normal sight, why would he be unhappy?
It’s because he didn’t know people well, causing Changle to take the blame for him while she was pregnant!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remind Shen Changle again.
"Changle, no matter what, you must never do such a dangerous thing again!
You're less than three months pregnant. Right now, nothing is more important than keeping your baby safe!"
"Well, I know. I was just anxious at the time... Brother, please stop blaming the Imperial Uncle. He doesn't want to..."
Shen Changning sighed helplessly.
In fact, he also knew that the emperor's uncle also loved Changle, but he just couldn't help it!
Every time I see him, I want to confront him and make him angry!
It must be because he oppressed me too much in the past, and now I have entered a rebellious phase...
Seeing Shen Changle still looking at him worriedly.
He put aside his wild thoughts and his expression softened.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Don't think too much and have a good rest. I'll go interrogate the assassin."
"Um……"
"Okay, go to sleep."
Shen Changning touched her hair and stood up to leave.
Shen Changle called him again:
"By the way, my royal brother, can you give me two capable secret guards? I have a few things to do and I'd like to find someone reliable to help me."
Shen Changning raised his eyebrows in confusion and surprise.
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me, my brother. I'll help you!"
But she looked pale and smiled cunningly.
"No, once things are done, my brother will know naturally!"
Seeing how mysterious she was, Shen Changning had no choice but to follow her lead and called out two secret guards from the dark.
"Ye Ling and Ye Mei are a pair of twin brothers newly sent from the Dark Guard Battalion.
Ye Ling is good at martial arts and is good at using his form-shifting skills to kill people without them noticing; Ye Mei is very capable, so you can rest assured that you can use them as your brothers."
Shen Changle glanced at the two men in black who appeared in response and were kneeling on the ground with their faces half covered, and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, brother."
"No need to be polite to my brother! But you must promise me that you won't overwork yourself, and definitely not put yourself in danger!"
"Okay, I know, go ahead and get busy, brother."
After seeing Shen Changning off, Shen Changle endured the tearing pain in his back and sat up from the bed.
Seeing this, Baizhi and Xuanque hurried forward to help.
"Your Highness, why are you up? If you have anything to do, just tell this servant to do it."
Shen Changle shook his head and sat up with gritted teeth.
She didn't expect that in this life, Prime Minister Wen would be so impatient.
She couldn't just sit back and watch anymore as someone actually sent assassins into the palace to kill the emperor's uncle!
Originally, he was planning to use Yan Zijing's aunt Yan Lan to control him and make him stab the empress dowager in the back!
Looks like plans need to be adjusted a bit!
She called the two secret guards to her and whispered:
"Ye Ling, you are good at martial arts. I will give you an address and ask you to help me rob someone.
Ye Mei, go find a blacksmith with a clean family background and superb skills..."
On the other side, Shen Changning had already arrived at the side hall and listened in on Shen Tingyu's interrogation of the female assassin:
"...Who ordered you to carry out the assassination?"
"Bah! You, Lord Dog, have lost all conscience. The current emperor is already able to govern the country alone, but you still cling to power and refuse to let go!
Your wolfish ambition is known to everyone! The people of Qi are free to kill you—"
Shen Tingyu acted as if he didn't see Shen Changning coming and didn't look away.
He covered his lips with his fist and coughed softly.
He said lightly:
"You're tough on the outside, but I don't know if you're tough on the inside. Let's torture you."
Twelve severe punishments were imposed.
The female assassin finally couldn't bear it anymore and howled for mercy:
"Kill me! No one ordered me to do this! It was me! I hate him! I hate the Regent!
I want his life, not anyone else's!"
Her face flushed red, and she stretched her neck and yelled, with veins bulging.
It was clearly unbearable, but he still forced himself not to reveal the person behind it.
Shen Tingyu guessed that someone must have something on her, and was afraid of her.
He is in no rush.
He coughed twice and raised his hand to stop.
With his elbows on his knees, he leaned forward and asked:
"It's alright if you don't want to reveal the mastermind behind this. I'd like to ask you one question: is the real Jin Yu still alive?"
"Bah! Lord Dog, if you're a man, just give me a quick death!"
She spat in Shen Tingyu's face without saying a word about the serious matter.
Shen Tingyu closed his eyes and sighed.
"In that case, then go and enjoy... the dreaded ninety-nine instruments of torture."
Then he waved his hand to signal the old butler to take the man to the dungeon.
"Be patient and let her tell you everything she knows."
"Yes."
Only after seeing the female assassin being dragged away did he stand up and greet Shen Changning.
"It's disrespectful for His Majesty to see blood."
"That's fine, but that woman is right—I'm already a young man, and I wonder when the Emperor's uncle will be willing to give up his power."
Shen Tingyu didn't expect that he would ask so directly.
but……
This is better. It is better to fight openly than secretly.
Moreover, daring to fight meant that he had grown up and was no longer the little brat who hugged him and cried, saying that he could not be the emperor...
He can also, rest assured...
Then he lowered his upper body even lower, bowed and said:
"When the Emperor appoints a queen and a concubine, and there is a successor to the throne, I will retire to the mountains and forests."
Hearing this, Shen Changning smiled a half fake, seven half genuine smile, and asked through gritted teeth:
"Shen Tingyu, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
