After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

Shen Tingyao looked at Shen Jinyao's expression and knew that she probably knew nothing.

So he told everything he knew.

"I heard that day that General Xiang had offended the Emperor in some way, but he was imprisoned in a side hall by the Emperor."

"I only learned from the eldest prince that the emperor has two types of side halls. One is for normal rest, and the other is a place for ministers who have made mistakes."

Shen Leyao didn't understand. "What mistake did General Xiang make? It's impossible that everyone was rewarded and only General Xiang was punished?"

Shen Jinyao listened carefully and also found it very strange.

I always feel that the emperor is targeting Xiang Hongxuan.

Shen Tingyao shook her head. "The eldest princes didn't tell me in detail, and I didn't ask any further questions."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Jinyao and said, "If you want to know, why not ask him yourself."

"I heard that General Xiang was detained for half a month and was only released in the past two days."

"But I also heard..."

Shen Jinyao couldn't stand Shen Tingyao's constant suspense, so she said impatiently, "Can you please finish everything at once?"

Shen Tingyao originally wanted to retort, but seeing Shen Jinyao's serious face, she knew that now was not the time to play around.

"Okay, okay, I know you care about General Xiang, let me tell you."

Shen Jinyao was too lazy to correct Shen Tingyao's statement. After all, they had been engaged before.

Now that Shen Tingyao is engaged to be the eldest prince, her marriage will naturally attract everyone's attention, and Xiang Hongxuan will be mentioned frequently.

But now she just wants to know what happened to Xiang Hongxuan?

"General Xiang was kicked out as soon as he returned to the Xiang Mansion."

Shen Leyao: "Why?"

These great generals can't even go home?

Shen Tingyao continued, "I also heard about this. It was said that General Xiang made a mistake, and the emperor disliked General Xiang, so the old general of the Xiang Mansion and the general's wife punished General Xiang."

"But General Xiang refused to admit his mistake. I heard that the old general was so angry that he became ill, and that's why he was kicked out."

"Not only that, the Emperor removed General Xiang from his position as Grand General."

what?

This time even Shen Jinyao was a little shocked.

Not only was he put in solitary confinement, he was also kicked out by the Shen family and even had his position as general removed?

Then the military power must have been handed over, right?

Shen Jinyao thought, so Xiang Hongxuan violated military regulations?

What military regulations could it be?

Shen Tingyao saw that the expression on Shen Jinyao's face was getting colder and colder, and she didn't dare to make a joke.

He just said, "Shen Jinyao, you'd better not think about Xiang Hongxuan. He has been abandoned by the Xiang family. I advise you to make plans early."

Shen Jinyao held her forehead and said, "I've said it many times, General Xiang and I are no longer engaged."

Shen Tingyao was unconvinced, "But the Shen family has returned, and there's no guarantee that the Xiang family won't bring up the past again."

Shen Leyao didn't think so. "He's already been kicked out of the Shen family, so why would anyone still think about his marriage?"

Shen Tingyao thought about it and felt that it made sense.

But the eldest prince clearly did not say that.

Shen Jinyao looked at Shen Tingyao, smiled and said: "Tingyao, you will be the eldest prince's consort in the future. If the eldest prince wants to harm the Shen family..."

Shen Tingyao thought Shen Jinyao was going to ask her about the relationship between her and the eldest prince, but who would have thought she would talk about these things.

Her expression changed and she said, "I will listen to the eldest prince, but I will not let him do anything to harm the Shen family."

In fact, Shen Jinyao really wanted to know what the eldest prince was thinking.

However, I thought that Shen Tingyao probably couldn't think about what was happening in the court.

She even suspected that what Shen Tingyao had just said was told by the eldest prince.

After all, before this, the Shen family had always stood on the side of the third prince.

However, Shen Tingyao married the eldest prince. If the two sides really fight in the future, the only one who will suffer is Shen Tingyao.

After all, political enemies are like mortal enemies.

Shen Jinyao thought about it and changed the way she asked the question.

"I'm just a little curious. Now that the Emperor has appointed the Third Prince as Crown Prince, haven't the First Prince and the Empress said anything?"

Shen Tingyao's eyes widened. She didn't expect Shen Jinyao to be so bold.

She quickly looked outside and saw that there was no one outside the window.

Then he frowned and said, "Jin Yao, how dare you ask anything?"

Shen Jinyao pretended to be confused, "Aren't we just talking in our own home, just like sisters?"

She was testing Shen Tingyao.

Of course, she didn't know how deep the eldest prince's feelings for Shen Tingyao were. If the eldest prince was also using Shen Tingyao, she would not sit idly by.

Shen Tingyao looked at him like a fool and said, "Don't say that again."

Shen Leyao also whispered, "Second sister, why?"

Shen Tingyao thought for a moment, frowned, and whispered, "You may not know, but because of the Crown Prince's matter, the Queen got very angry."

Shen Jinyao then said, "What about the eldest prince?"

Shen Tingyao didn't know what she was thinking about, but she smiled and said, "The eldest prince is naturally obedient in front of the queen, but..."

I don’t know what she was thinking about, but her ears turned red as she spoke.

Shen Jinyao was suspicious and Shen Leyao was puzzled.

"Oh, it's just that the eldest prince said that marriage is a big deal, and there's nothing more important than marriage. He's busy preparing for the wedding every day and doesn't have time to be angry."

"The rest of the time is left to Her Majesty the Queen to make her happy."

Shen Jinyao was a little surprised, but she also felt that it seemed to fit the eldest prince's personality.

Doesn’t the eldest prince want the position of crown prince?

Is it all because of the Queen's coercion?

Or is it that the eldest prince simply despises the position of crown prince and his only goal is the throne?

In other words, Shen Tingyao has been used by the eldest prince, and everything she says is what the eldest prince asked her to say to the Shen family.

What Shen Jinyao didn't know was that her guess was close to the truth.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more she felt that Shen Tingyao marrying the eldest prince was not a simple matter.

She suddenly thought of something and asked Shen Tingyao, "But Tingyao, you also said that you didn't know beforehand that the eldest prince asked the emperor for an arranged marriage in the palace?"

After hearing this, Shen Tingyao's face turned red and she nodded shyly.

Shen Jinyao always felt something was strange. After all, the eldest prince would not get any benefit from marrying Shen Tingyao except to disgust the crown prince.

No, there is another possibility.

Does that mean the eldest prince really likes Tingyao?

Shen Jinyao decided to go and see her father, and if there was a chance, she would also like to meet the eldest prince.

She heard Shen Leyao ask Shen Tingyao if there was anything strange about the eldest prince before this incident.

Shen Tingyao thought for a moment and said, "Before meeting the emperor, the eldest prince asked me to dress more simply and even wipe off all my rouge and powder."

Shen Leyao: "Why is this?"

"I think it's because the Emperor doesn't like women to be too conspicuous, let alone his own daughter-in-law..."

Shen Tingyao's voice became smaller and smaller, and she spoke boldly even though she was embarrassed.

But Shen Jinyao doesn't think so.

Abnormality means there is a demon.
