Chapter 198 Makes sense (ten more)
Mrs. Shen was startled, "You..."
She wanted to say "how could that be?", but when she thought that she was very similar to Princess Zhenmin, she told Shen Xian about this after she returned to the mansion yesterday, and Princess Qingping was assassinated yesterday.
Shen Xian squinted his eyes, "This matter is actually very easy to understand. Princess Qingping will not be assassinated for no reason. Even if she is assassinated, she will not take such a big risk. What she has done over the years has not made people want to get rid of it soon. Only you have been living in the Princess Mansion since you came to Beijing. You are inseparable from the people in the Princess Mansion. It is blue sky and broad daylight. Scattering, although the assassin would have taken a big risk in the assassination at that time, it was also a great opportunity. And the person who opened the calm one was the one who was with you, so you can guess that the cold arrow was aimed at you at that time."
Su Rong nodded, "Uncle Shen is right."
Shen Xian stared at her, "According to your age, your mother is Princess Zhenmin?"
Su Rong thought to himself, as expected of Shen Xian, even Princess Qingping and the son-in-law didn't directly ask her mother if she was Princess Zhenmin, but only asked her about her relationship with Princess Zhenmin. She tilted her head and asked, "Does Uncle Shen know anything?"
Shen Xian shook his head, "I only know that Xie Yuan will not stay in Jiangning County for many years for no reason. For a person like him, if he can stay in Jiangning County all the time, there must be something involved. And you look very similar to Princess Zhenmin. Since ancient times, it is not surprising that a woman looks like a biological mother."
Su Rong nodded, "Yes, my mother is indeed Princess Zhenmin."
Mrs. Shen whispered, shocked, "Didn't Princess Zhenmin already..."
She wanted to say kiss Da Wei, did she die in Da Wei?
Shen Xian sat up straight, "I have a deep friendship with Xie Yuan, and my wife is not a blunt person. Now you just came to the capital, and you were assassinated. The water in the capital is deep, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed. If you trust us, then tell us. Of course, if you don't trust us, you don't need to talk about it. This topic will stop here. During your stay in Beijing, just live in Shen's residence with peace of mind."
Su Rong smiled, "Uncle Shen and Uncle Xie have a deep friendship, and they treat me and my brother like nephews. Naturally, there is nothing that cannot be said to you and Aunt Shen. Since I dare to come to Beijing, I am also prepared to reveal my identity."
She smiled and said: "My biological father is the king of Nanchu, and my mother is Princess Zhenmin."
Shen Xian had already guessed it, showing a clear look.
Mrs. Shen stood up abruptly, "This, this...how could it be the King of Southern Chu? I thought..."
"Did you think it was Uncle Xie?" Su Rong sighed, "I also thought my biological father was Uncle Xie when I was young. Then, I would save a lot of trouble, and no one would always think of killing me, but unfortunately not."
Madam Shen digested for a while, then looked at Shen Xian.
"The person who wants to kill you is someone sent by Nanchu?" Shen Xian asked.
Su Rong nodded, "It should be."
She briefly talked about how her mother faked her death and escaped in the prefect's mansion of Jiangning County, how her mother stopped fighting for Daliang, wrote to the former emperor and queen mother that she was not really dead, and asked Daliang to sign a peace treaty with Wei.
"In this way, the person sent now is the queen of Nanchu?" Mrs. Shen sat down slowly and asked.
"Not necessarily." Su Rong shook his head, "The news that I'm alive should have been known to many people in Southern Chu. I returned to Beijing, and on the way, I encountered several groups of killers. There should be people from the Queen of Nanchu, people from the Nangong family, people from the Nanchu clan, or even ambitious people from the Southern Chu courtiers."
Madam Shen took a deep breath.
Shen Xian was very calm, "The King of Southern Chu has never had any heirs in Southern Chu. Since you are the daughter of the King of Southern Chu, you are the only princess. These people want to kill you, and they have their own motives. It's not surprising."
Su Rong nodded, "So, Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen, I really don't want to burden you. After entering Beijing, I went to the Princess Mansion. Brother and I should live in the Xie Mansion in Dongsi Hutong!"
Mrs. Shen immediately said, "No, you just need to stay here. There are no guards in Dongsi Hutong. How dangerous it is."
Shen Xian also looked solemn, "What are you talking about? You don't have to pay attention to the friendship between Xie Yuan and me. In addition, you are the daughter of Princess Zhenmin, because she has had peace for sixteen years. As long as you are not a person who has lost his conscience, once you know your identity, it is my duty to protect you."
Since Shen Xian and Mrs. Shen said so, Su Rong didn't hold back and said with a smile: "Since both of you said so, then I'll live with a cheeky face."
Madam Shen also smiled, "You just stay here, you are considered a distinguished guest, and if someone else invites you, you will not be invited."
Shen Xianqing coughed, "Well, what happened to your divorce with the Duke Huguo?"
Su Rong briefly explained the reason.
After hearing this, Shen Xian said: "That boy Zhou Gu is a good boy. Although he is young and not steady enough, he has good character. And back then, His Majesty was supported by the old Huguogong and Sheng'an Grand Princess, and now the old Huguogong and Sheng'an Dachang Princess are building here. After a while, the Huguogong's mansion will not fall, and His Majesty will not dare to act rashly. You don't have to be afraid of setting fire to the Huguogong's mansion because of your troubles."
Su Rong shook his head, "There is such a consideration. The main reason is that the old National Guard Guild will give me the little grandson who has spent so much effort in cultivating since childhood to be the king's husband in Southern Chu? Isn't this ruining the family? Let's forget it."
Shen Xianmo silently said, "That's right, for someone like Zhou Gu, I can't bear to let it go."
Mrs. Shen let out a "嗐", and after digesting the shock, she still calmed down, and said with a big heart: "There are many good men in the world, and there is no need to hang on a tree. Without Zhou Zhou, there will always be someone who is willing to go to Nanchu to be your husband."
Now that you have become a king, are you afraid that you will not have a husband? Ask Mrs. Shen to say that this is not a problem. Although Zhou Gu is good, there are many good men in the world.
Shen Xian laughed, and glanced at his wife, "Madam is right."
Su Rong also couldn't help laughing, looking at the two of them, thinking that it was rumored outside that Shen was stern, but in front of Mrs. Shen, in front of her and Su Xingze, she looked kind and smiling, not so rigid and serious.
Shen Xian asked again: "I have sent someone to investigate. You didn't enter Beijing on the day when the scientific examination started, but you entered Beijing before that. However, the traces were wiped out. If it wasn't for the people guarding the city gate who insisted on prying open their mouths and giving me a message, no one would be able to find out that you have already been in Beijing. Before you went to live in the princess mansion, where were you?"
Su Rong was surprised. She didn't expect that Shen Xian would even pick this up. Even the Huguo Gongfu thought she had just entered Beijing on the day of the scientific examination. After all, the crown prince had helped her and Feng Ling smooth out the traces. During the trip out of the mansion, not many people had seen her and Feng Ling, and the traces were easily smoothed out.
"After all, I have been an official for many years, and it is not for nothing." Shen Xian said: "Others pay attention to scientific research, but I pay more attention to other things."
Su Rong smiled sincerely, "Uncle Shen, you are really amazing."
Compared to Princess Qingping and the son-in-law, she believed in Shen Xian more. After all, Xie Yuan believed in him, so he simply told the truth, "I went to Beijing many days in advance, but I stayed in the East Palace all the time."
Shen Xian sat up straight at this moment, "Prince?"
"Yes." Su Rong can only know how she and Yan Huisheng met, how he learned that the Queen of Nanchu wanted to kill her through him, and how she listened to Xie Yuan's suggestion and agreed to cooperate with the East Palace in order to find a powerful backer to deal with the menacing forces of Nanchu who wanted to kill her and then quickly.
After listening, Shen Xian took a deep breath, "This is Xie Yuan!"
Su Rongxiao, "Uncle Xie is also doing it for my own good. After all, the situation is here. The various forces in Southern Chu have forced me to this point. As long as I want to live well, I have to go to Southern Chu to fight for the throne."
Shen Xian was silent for a moment, nodded, and asked, "When will Xie Yuan enter Beijing?"
"Uncle Xie probably won't come to Beijing in a short time. He said that I've grown up and I can solve my own affairs." Su Rong shook his head, "My father is inseparable from him. Now that he has been promoted to the governor of Jiangzhou, if he wants to control Jiangzhou in a short period of time, he needs Uncle Xie's help. After all, the first prince and the second prince are all staring at Jiangzhou now. If they are not careful, they will take my father as a reference. Since he has been promoted, he must secure his position no matter what."
Shen Xian nodded, "Forget it, it's fine if he doesn't come, Beijing is his sad place, and he probably doesn't want to come."
After he finished speaking, he asked Mrs. Shen, "Isn't the Chengguo mansion holding a birthday banquet tomorrow? The niece of the second son of the Ye, you can go to the Chengguo mansion and take the opportunity to meet Ye Guixue. He is the most promising descendant of the Yexiang mansion. Find out his details and see what is going on with the Ye family. It doesn't make sense that all the forces in Nanchu are mobilized. The Ye family will not know Xiao Qi's identity. Especially when he comes to Beijing at this time, it is very suspicious. , don’t send people here later, there should be some other purpose in sending people here at this time, I’m afraid it’s for Xiao Qi.”
