Chapter 198 Shen Chuan Beheads the Crown Prince
Shu He was so frightened that he tore the herbs in his hand apart.
Now she understood completely.
No wonder she used Nangong Xin, she deliberately wanted Tianqi to lose!
"She's using the lives of the Apocalypse soldiers in exchange for her son's future! The eldest princess's methods are too shameful."
Baili Moqing couldn't help but feel sad. What was this? Above the imperial power, those who schemed against each other, whose hands weren't stained with blood?
"Let's talk about the detoxification tomorrow!" Shu He was a little angry. He gathered all the herbs on the table and took them to the backyard.
She didn't want to hear anything more about the eldest princess.
No matter how much suffering she has endured or how great her contributions are, it is not a reason or excuse for her to treat human life as worthless!
Zhen Li saw Shu He leave, and then walked back to Baili Moqing's side, "This lady He is indeed a person who has traveled the world. Her knowledge is really incomparable to those ladies from the upper class in the capital."
Imperial power shouldn't be above human life. In this world, the most important thing should be human life, not so-called future and power!
Baili Moqing was still holding a half-picked herb in his hand. When he heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, as if with a hint of pride and a hint of sarcasm.
"Those at the center of power, those high and mighty, how could they care about the lives of those below them? In their eyes, ordinary people, even soldiers, are pawns as long as they are useful to them. If they are useless, they are nothing..."
Zhenli deeply agreed, so he really disliked Kyoto, a place of power and nobility.
In that place, people with this kind of ideas are everywhere, and it's disgusting to see.
"What about the Princess..." Zhenli was a little worried. Did the Princess really know that it was Lady He who poisoned her?
Baili Moqing saw his worry and said firmly, "It's impossible for Aunt to know that the poison in her body was put by He Shu."
After all, even I, who was so close to her at the time, didn't notice her method. How could my aunt, a woman who was so weak that she couldn't even tie a chicken, possibly notice it?
He thought of someone.
"Maybe it's Yi Zong? His intuition has always been sharper than that of ordinary people."
"But it's okay. Without evidence, he can't do anything."
When Zhenli heard this name, his eyes became a little hot.
I heard he was once the top imperial guard in the Northern Di Palace, a man of extraordinary strength. I wonder if he's currently a third or second rank? It would be nice to have a fight, so I can have a better idea.
"Are you not going to care about the eldest princess's poison?" Zhenli asked again.
Baili Moqing said calmly, "She doesn't want to be treated, and I can't force her to."
Hearing this, Zhenli couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This prince is really indulgent to Lady He!
The snow in the yard had stopped, and the two crabapple trees were covered with snow. A gentle breeze would blow away countless tiny snowflakes, which would fall on people's faces and turn into fine water.
Under the tree, Baili Moqing had finished processing the herbs in his hands.
He was thinking of putting it aside, but all the processed herbs were taken away by the woman, leaving only this one in his hand.
Do you want to send it to her?
Didn't she say it was precious? She also said it could make a lot of money. It would be a shame to just throw it away, right?
Forget it, just send it to her.
"My Lord, where are you going?"
The white figure walked briskly, showing no trace of the decadence and loneliness of the past. Zhen Li looked at the back of the figure, feeling a little disappointed.
How could it be that in just half a month, the prince had become a completely different person? He even saw a hint of urgency in the prince's departing steps, unwilling to even give him the slightest response.
At this time, a carrier pigeon flew over and landed on the stone table in front of Zhenli.
This is news from Xizhu.
He took the letter and read its contents, then his face beneath the mask was filled with shock.
Baili Moqing just arrived at her pharmacy and saw her bending over to boil medicine. The firelight reflected on her face, making her somewhat thin face even more beautiful.
Why does this woman look a little different every time I see her?
"Your Highness! Something big has happened in Beidi Yuye City!"
Zhen Li's voice made Shu He turn around and look, just in time to meet Baili Moqing's slightly dazed eyes.
When his eyes met hers, he didn't know why, but he felt a little guilty, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand something. He quickly explained, "I, I came to deliver the herbs."
Shu He walked over and saw that he was indeed holding a night-shining grass in his hand.
I probably forgot about it when I left.
"Just deliver the medicine, why are you stumbling over your words?"
“Who, who stuttered!!”
Shu He looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "Well, you didn't stutter, I stuttered!"
Baili Moqing stared at her, his eyes clearly filled with anger. Just as Zhenli approached, he glared at him unhappily.
Zhenli met his gaze and felt inexplicably aggrieved.
What happened to him? Did he have to be glared at by the prince with such a sad look?
"what's up?"
Seeing that the two had something to say, Shu He consciously took the herbs from his hand and went into the pharmacy.
She had originally thought that information about the Beidi Palace was a military secret, so she had deliberately avoided it. Unexpectedly, she turned around and found Baili Moqing sitting on the couch in her pharmacy.
"explain."
Zhenli glanced at Shu He who was not far away, then glanced at Baili Moqing who looked a little annoyed, tightened his lips, and handed the letter in his hand to him.
Shu He was looking at the medicine in the pot when he suddenly saw Baili Moqing stand up with an expression of disbelief on his face.
What kind of news could make him, who is usually calm, lose his composure like this?
"Is this news accurate?"
This was the first time he doubted the news Xizhu brought back.
The main reason is that this news is too shocking.
Zhen Li replied, "Xi Zhu has verified this news more than once. That's why the news came back a little late."
Shu He's curiosity was piqued, and he asked with a hint of gossip in his voice, "What's the news? Can I see it?"
After a brief moment of shock, Baili Moqing fell into deep thought. He handed the letter to Shu He naturally, and then his brain went into high gear.
Shu He opened the letter and looked at the contents inside, his eyes widened.
The general meaning of the letter was that this morning, Shen Chuan, a man wearing black armor and holding a black gold sword, stood in the court with evidence that the prince had formed a clique for personal gain, amassed wealth, and disregarded human lives, and demanded that the Emperor of Beidi depose the prince!
The Northern Di Emperor was furious and ordered the imperial guards to capture Shen Chuan. However, Shen Chuan drew his sword and pointed it at the Emperor, then beheaded the Crown Prince on the spot!
All the officials of Beidi were shocked. An official who stepped forward to speak for the prince was also beheaded on the spot.
All the emperor's inner guards came out and were all killed!
In the end, he used his absolute power to force the emperor to announce the prince's crimes to the world! He also re-selected the crown prince: the third prince Shen Zhi.
……
"Is Shen Chuan so fierce? The Crown Prince! He just executes her without hesitation? This must be labeled as treason!"
No wonder even a calm person like Baili Moqing was so shocked that he lost his composure. This news was too explosive.
More than just fierce! Zhen Li couldn't help but say, "He's simply crazy!"
"Didn't they say Shen Chuan was very afraid of the Northern Di Emperor? Why did she suddenly dare to point her sword at the emperor?"
Zhen Li was silent, and so was Baili Moqing. Because none of them could have imagined that Shen Chuan was someone who could do such a thing.
It was clear from the news that Shen Chuan had been living under the bullying and shadow of Crown Prince Shen Wen, and also under the oppression of the Beidi Emperor. He had a natural fear of the Beidi Emperor and should not have dared to rebel!
At this time, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Zhenli looked back and saw Beiji holding another letter in his hand with a serious look on his face.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Di are mobilizing their army and will be approaching soon!"
