Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 180 Assassination failed
In the smoothly moving carriage, Ji Anyu lazily lay on the wide couch. Shen Jing gently massaged Ji Anyu's legs, and it was not as hardship as Shuxiang had imagined.

"My dear, I'm working so hard, have you calmed down?"

Ji Anyu glanced at Shen Jing lazily. Last night, after Shen Jing took a bath, he threw a tantrum and insisted on making up for the wedding night. He dragged her around for most of the night. Her waist is still sore now!

"I am thirsty."

Shen Jing hurriedly brought the tea to Ji Anyu's mouth, "This is freshly brewed tea. Madam, please try it. Have I improved my tea-making skills?"

Ji Anyu raised his hand to hold the bottom of the teacup, then drank it all in one gulp and licked the tea stains at the corner of his mouth.

"My husband has always been good at making tea." She rested her legs on Shen Jing's knees.

The corner of Shen Jing's mouth twitched slightly, and he poured himself a cup of tea.

The horse suddenly neighed.

Shen Jing quickly helped Ji Anyu put on her shoes, put the dagger into her hand, and picked up a long sword himself.

"Wait for me here, don't go out."

Ji Anyu nodded seriously.

The clanging of swords could be heard outside the carriage.

About a cup of tea later, Shen Jing came back holding a bloody sword.

"Ah Jing, you are not hurt, right?"

"No problem. Today's assassins are the assassins of Nanhou Mansion. It's easy for me to deal with them."

Shen Jing had already arranged a low-key carriage. When they reached the fork in the road, they changed carriages and a group of their own people followed them in disguise.

They changed carriages several times along the way and never encountered the assassin again.

Ji Anyu fell asleep in Shen Jing's arms. They were only staying in the inn for the night and would set off before dawn. Before Ji Anyu had had enough sleep, Shen Jing carried her to the carriage.

Shen Jing gently lifted the black hair from Ji Anyu's face.

"My lady, I'm sorry to have wronged you, but you are becoming more and more sleepy now." The problem was that he did not torment Ji Anyu at night, and the carriage was moving very steadily.

Ji Anyu hummed perfunctorily and turned to continue sleeping.

In the distant capital.

Wei Luoyan was so angry when he learned that all the death squads he sent out were wiped out and the strongholds hidden in the dark were destroyed by Shen Jing's men, leaving him no chance to fight back.

"Shen Jing is not yet fully grown, but he has easily wiped out my people. Shuda, go tell the prince that Shen Jing intends to rebel and ask him to send more people to me."

"Sir, without any evidence, will the prince believe us?"

Wei Luoyan said without question, "The prince trusts me, so he will naturally believe what I say!"

After saying this, Shuda had no choice but to secretly pass the message to the prince, but he was unexpectedly rejected. He immediately returned to Nanhou Mansion to tell Wei Luoyan.

"Sir, the spy who was supposed to receive me now refuses to come out to see me. I can't contact the Crown Prince at all. How about you go into the palace and try?"

Wei Luoyan was surprised, "How can they treat you so badly? It's outrageous! Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner!" Then he hurried into the palace.

Unlike in the past when the prince was happy to see him, this time he was turned away.

Wei Luoyan was a little flustered. What happened? Why didn't the prince see him? He thought about not angering the prince.

At the moment, he did not intend to break up with the Crown Prince, and he also needed to borrow the Crown Prince's power to help him build momentum, so he came to the East Palace for several consecutive days to ask to see the Crown Prince. Five days later, the Crown Prince finally showed up to see him.

"Luo Yan, I heard you were looking for me, what's the important matter?"

Wei Luoyan suppressed his anger and said in a friendly manner, "Your Highness, Shen Jing wanted to rebel, and he killed all my assassins. I came here this time just to ask you to give me some people, and I will personally kill Shen Jing!"

Shen Yuxian sneered at Wei Luoyan's respectful look.

"Wei Luoyan, do you think I'm a fool? You still have the nerve to say that I want you to help me get my people to avenge my personal grudge!"

Wei Luoyan was shocked that the prince could actually see through his little thoughts. He asked tentatively, "Your Highness, who did you hear that from? That person is slandering me. Everything I did was for you."

"For me? Humph!" Shen Yuxian slammed the table in anger.

"Wei Luoyan, you are guilty! Who cares who told me? I was just a little skeptical before, but now! I believe what he said. You disappoint me so much. I have wasted my trust in you."

Wei Luoyan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly knelt down and begged the prince for forgiveness.

"Your Highness, we have known each other for many years. Have I ever hurt you?"

"You didn't draw your sword against me, but you were playing a trick on me. You said there were bandits, so I sent people to suppress them. But after all this time, you were the one whose clothes were ripped off. You deceived me to vent your anger."

Wei Luoyan was suddenly speechless.

Chen Yuxian glared at Wei Luoyan coldly and said, "You hate Shen Jing, and I helped you persuade my father to send Shen Jing to Qingyuguan, which offended Prince Zhong's Mansion. I treated you sincerely, but now I have fed you to the dogs in vain! Now you want to frame Shen Jing for treason, and you sent people to hunt down Shen Jing. Do you think I don't know?"

Wei Luoyan clenched his fist silently and tried to defend himself.

"Your Highness, Shen Jing has so many assassins. Rather than letting Shen Jing surrender to the Second Prince in the future, we should take action in advance!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Shen Jing, that idiot, only cares about eating, drinking and having fun. He won't participate in the power grab, otherwise he would have been finished long ago. Father sent Shen Jing to Qingyu Pass to check the food and grass, but Shen Jing took his family to play along the way. What kind of trouble can he stir up?"

Wei Luoyan said anxiously, "Shen Jing has been keeping a low profile and should not be underestimated." He had been tricked by Shen Jing in his previous life, and his family had never recovered.

When Shen Yuxian saw that Wei Luoyan was possessed by a demon, he thought that Wei Luoyan and Shen Jing had a deep grudge against each other, so Wei Luoyan took advantage of Shen Jing's absence from the capital to take crazy revenge on Shen Jing.

There was no need for him to offend Shen Jing again for Wei Luoyan, as Shen Jing had his father and the empress dowager protecting him.

Shen Yuxian advised Wei Luoyan based on their past relationship.

"The Queen Mother already knows that you were the one behind Shen Jing's going to Qingyu Pass. If she knew that you assassinated Shen Jing, I can't protect you. Think about the Nanhou Mansion behind you."

Wei Luoyan was unwilling to give up. It was such a good opportunity, it would be a pity to give up.

At the same time, another person who was unwilling to give in was Wei Songlin.

Wei Songlin was so angry that his wound, which had just healed, began to throb with pain.

"Linhan, why are you so useless? You followed Zhusha for so long, but you didn't even learn his tracking skills. It's a waste of all the people I gave you."

Linhan lowered his head pitifully, and naturally passed the buck.

"Sir, Shen Jing is really too cunning, and the woman next to him is even more cunning. I think it must be that woman who gave Shen Jing a lot of bad ideas. Before, when Shen Jing left Beijing, he would always find an opportunity to confront us head-on, but now he is hiding from us."

Wei Songlin had a gloomy face. That woman Ji Anyu was really an eyesore.

Last time he was shot and seriously injured by Ji Anyu and nearly died. He stayed in the other courtyard for a long time before he recovered. When he entered the palace to meet the emperor, the emperor actually asked him to be a matchmaker and said that he liked being a matchmaker. It must be that Shen Jing was venting his anger for Ji Anyu and deliberately gossiping in the emperor's ear.

Wei Songlin lowered his eyes and looked at the marriage certificate on the table that needed to be stamped with an official seal, and he wished he could burn it all!
