Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1764

He didn't explain, and he had no way to explain. He just thought that the imperial sister didn't ask anything, so maybe she knew something.

Before leaving, he bowed deeply to Shi Anxia from afar, feeling ashamed and speechless, and turned around and disappeared into the night.

At that time, Anxia stood quietly in the corridor, the soft light from the lantern cast a layer of light red on her snow-white fox fur.

Bei Hui said leisurely, "Madam, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the right intentions."

"Of course." Otherwise, in her previous life, she would not have rescued him from the capital under tremendous pressure and then handed the North Wing over to him.

But if such a person has a few more easily influenced people around him, it will surely sow the seeds of disaster.

Shen Si went away and came back, waiting at the entrance of the Moon Cave.

He bowed from a distance, "Princess, your humble servant..."

Shi Anxia opened her mouth lightly and interrupted him, "Come in, I'll give you an explanation."

Several people entered the warm room, and Bei Hui waited by their side without leaving.

Shi Anxia sat down and rested for a long time before catching his breath. "You're right. I had someone soak the 'Hundred Days Drunk' in silver carbon."

"Why?" Shen Siyuan was puzzled.

The medicine originally came from him, and An Xia asked him for it a few days ago. Today, the medicine appeared on the silver charcoal and was sent to the young master's mansion by the prince.

Poison yourself?

He couldn't get back on track no matter what. The Crown Prince was involved, and he was afraid, so he had to ask for clarification.

He didn't want to be the scapegoat in the end.

Shi Anxia looked at him and did not answer his question directly. She just recalled the past, "Shen Yuanshi, do you remember that late night a few years ago when I asked Bei Hui to look for you. I said I could find your wife, but you were skeptical."

Shen Siyuan nodded.

Shi Anxia added, "After much trouble, I did find the person for you. During this period, did I always trust you?"

Shen Siyuan nodded again, "Of course I believe you."

Shi Anxia asked again, "For you, I have never used any means to test your heart. Do you know why?"

Shen Siyuan couldn't answer. He couldn't say that he was trustworthy.

Shi Anxia didn't need him to answer, "Because... some people don't need to be tested, they are also trustworthy. And some people, if their thoughts are suspicious and do not harm the overall situation, I can let them go. But some people..."

If left alone, it would lead to immeasurable consequences, so she had to act decisively.

Shen Siyuan was horrified, "Is the princess testing the Crown Prince's character?"

Shi Anxia shook her head, paused for a moment and nodded, "Yes and no. I just sent someone to pass on some gossip to Eunuch An's ears."

Shen Siyuan is not stupid, he now understands.

The gossip was spread by the princess, and the medicine was delivered by the princess "by chance". If Eunuch An knew how to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of gossip, he would not have done such a foolish thing.

But once it is done, it will gradually become a test of the prince's character. If the prince believes eunuch An and makes a mistake, harming the princess and the child in her belly, then...

Shi Anxia said calmly, "In fact, before the emperor left, he privately gave the prince an imperial edict to pass on the throne."

Shen Siyuan was shocked again, "Is the Emperor also testing the Crown Prince's character?"

Shi Anxia shook her head, "That's not a test, it's trust, and also the determination to pass on the throne."

"But the emperor is still young." Shen Siyuan's head was buzzing, and he felt that his brain power was not enough.

"Your Majesty can be the regent and supervise the country." Shi Anxia answered patiently, "So, does Envoy Shen understand the interests involved?"

"I don't understand." Shen Siyuan said sullenly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will soon ascend the throne and become the new emperor." Shi Anxia paused and said softly, "I am using my own way to eliminate hidden dangers around the new emperor."
