"His name is Cao Meng."

Shen Yunjin spat out a mouthful of tea.

Xiao Minshen patted her back hurriedly, "Did you choke?"

Shen Yunjin took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. "My Lord, am I right? His name is Cao Meng?"

"Yes, didn't you say before that your acquaintance Wang Zhaozhao had mentioned a marriage proposal to a man with this name?"

"Could it be that they are just people with the same name and surname?" Shen Yunjin expressed deep doubt.

"I don't know this, but the secret guards found out that he is the cousin of Manager Cao."

"Manager Cao? Is that the Manager Cao who rented the shop before and said he was the Second Prince's man?"

Xiao Minshen nodded, and Shen Yunjin was stunned.

"Then isn't Cao Meng the Second Prince's man?"

Xiao Minshen nodded again. The secret guards found out that Cao Meng had done a lot of things for the second prince.

He can be considered one of the second prince's confidants.

Shen Yunjin only knew that in his previous life, Cao Meng led his troops to victory.

When he returned triumphantly, he brought back a concubine and a child.

In this life, the war ended early and the child was still in the belly.

He did not marry Wang Zhaozhao, but became the princess's lover.

In her previous life, she did not give birth to a child, but in this life, Shen Yunchu gave birth to a daughter.

Everything has changed.

This life is a completely different history.

Shen Yunjin couldn't help but shiver.

Could it be that her and Shen Yunchu's rebirth changed the original history?

So, what was the original historical trajectory of King Xiao Minshen of Qi?

How will this life change?

Xiao Minshen found it very strange to see her shivering.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I just didn't expect the princess always likes to steal other people's men."

The two children raised by the queen both have strange hobbies.

As the mother of a country, educating her children like this is a failure.

Since Cao Meng is the Second Prince's confidant, he must know many of the Second Prince's secrets.

Does the princess want to subdue him and use it to deal with the second prince?

Or, did Cao Meng endure the humiliation and explore the princess's background for the sake of the second prince?

People in the royal family have different ways of thinking.

However, Shen Yunjin believes that no matter how dark the sky is, the clouds will eventually clear and the sun will shine.

"Your Majesty, can we equip the guards in the palace with swords made by ourselves?"

The last time I used a knife, the blade started to become blunt after I had only used it to chop a few people, which shows how poor its quality was.

I don’t know how those soldiers who went into battle to kill the enemies were able to win battle after battle with such poor weapons.

Xiao Minshen pulled out a dagger from his boot and pointed the handle at Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin took it and felt a chill.

"Is this something we made ourselves?" She fiddled with the dagger in delight.

She held the knife and put a strand of hair on it, and the hair broke.

"This is forged with black iron, be careful not to cut your hands."

Xiao Minshen carefully took the knife and put it back into his boot.

"This is the first sample. We will produce large quantities of it later. However, black iron is very rare. I got a piece by chance."

"My Lord, give me a hand when the time comes."

Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin's sparkling eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up.

"You're not a little tiger, why do you need such a dangerous knife?"

"For self-defense, Your Majesty, you may not know that if I had a good knife when the thieves came last time, they would not have been able to kidnap me."

Xiao Minshen's smile disappeared in an instant.

He took the dagger out of his boot again and put it on the table.

"Then I'll give this to you. It was my negligence."

Shen Yunjin pushed the dagger towards the King of Qi. "I can't use it for the time being, so Your Majesty should take it."

It is a time of trouble, and the King of Qi is out every day, so having a sharp weapon would provide an extra layer of security.

With every autumn rain came a chill, and the emperor caught a cold and fell ill.

Xiao Minxuan stayed in the palace every day to take care of the sick, serving him without taking off his clothes.

He read all the official documents that needed approval to the emperor, and then wrote the emperor's opinions on the documents.

Late at night, the father and son slept side by side.

Sometimes, the father and son would discuss state affairs.

When Xiao Minxuan was the crown prince, he had already started reviewing memorials.

Naturally, he had his own ideas about state affairs.

The emperor discovered that many of Xiao Minxuan's views coincided with his own.

Once, he inadvertently praised Xiao Minxuan, and Xiao Minxuan hugged his thighs and cried.

Xiao Minxuan said that because he had been given important tasks by the emperor since he was a child, he was under great pressure.

When no one has anything to say, people naturally do some outrageous things.

He cried and begged the emperor for forgiveness, he really knew he was wrong.

Maybe it's because sick people are unusually soft-hearted.

The emperor told Xiao Minxuan that being the ruler of a country must be very stressful.

After all, the rise and fall of a country depends on the king.

It has been said since ancient times that being alone is the best description of an emperor.

If you don't have a strong mentality, you can't sit in that position.

Xiao Minxuan immediately said that he still needed time to hone his skills.

After the father and son had a heart-to-heart talk, their relationship obviously became much closer.

Many memorials in the court were initially reviewed by Xiao Minxuan.

Only those that Xiao Minxuan felt were urgent and important were read to the emperor, who would then give his approval.

By the time the emperor's illness was finally cured, the prince had already lost several pounds.

The clothes I wore before seemed empty when I wore them.

The emperor was deeply moved and, despite opposition from his court officials, reinstated Xiao Minxuan as the crown prince.

After a few days, the prince went out of the city in person to bring back the princess.

The prince really dismissed all his concubines.

Only the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's children returned to the capital.

That night, the Crown Princess was in Kunning Palace, hugging her son Xiao Tinghao and crying loudly.

The queen also cried beside her.

The Crown Prince took the Crown Princess and several children and knelt down before the Queen.

"Please forgive me for my unfilial behavior. It was my own foolishness that implicated you."

The queen urged them to get up quickly.

It was obvious that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had suffered a lot.

The Crown Princess is only in her twenties, but she already has wrinkles on her face.

"Well, now we are all reunited. This is worth the efforts of me and Anyang."

"Prince, you must not be reckless again. You know that there is more than one person eyeing your position as crown prince!"

"I understand, son!" A murderous look flashed in the prince's eyes.

The next month after the crown prince was restored, a series of reports were sent to the emperor's desk, alleging that the second prince secretly harbored the remnants of the previous dynasty and colluded with the Huns, leading to continuous fighting on the border.

The evidence was conclusive, so the emperor did not hesitate and issued an order directly.

The second prince was demoted to a commoner, confined to his fiefdom, and was never allowed to enter the capital again.

"Your Majesty, Princess Gao Li has sent you a message and wants to see you before she leaves."

"No." Xiao Minshen refused.

"Princess Gaoli said that if you refuse, she will let me tell you that she has a big secret about the princess."
