The princess is the only one in Xuanmen, and she is reborn to lift the lid of the prince's coff

Princess Changyang nodded repeatedly, a look of sorrow on her face. "Don't worry, Princess, I'm not going to laugh at you. What mother doesn't love her child? It's precisely because we haven't had any children that I've placed all my hopes on Yuan Ci, and haven't interfered with my husband's attitude towards him."

"There's still a bastard in the mansion, and I have my own selfish concerns. I'm worried that if Yuan Ci doesn't live up to his expectations, the bastard will replace him..."

She wiped her tears and said, "I didn't expect that because of my selfishness, I almost hurt Yuan Ci!"

She sighed: "I don't care whether he has a future or not. I just hope Yuanci can live well!"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness!" Shen Ting'an was also extremely frightened at this time. He trembled and tears flowed carelessly: "Fortunately, Xingcan went to find the princess and saved Yuanci, and even saved the entire Shen family! We can't thank the princess enough for her kindness!"

He turned his burly figure to Shen Yuanci and said, "Son, tell me who bullied you in the Ministry of Personnel and caused you so much pain? I'm sure I can find out something by investigating that person!"

Shen Yuanci's face changed when he thought of that place that looked like a man-eating devil's den: "In fact, I have long suspected that there is a hand behind all this, and I have paid attention to it myself, but I can't find anything!

The one who gave me the most trouble every day was my superior, Lu, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Examination and Censorship. But other than Lu, my colleagues were equally indifferent to me. Only the three senior superiors, the Vice Minister and the Chancellor, were quite considerate of me.

"This is truly lawless!" Shen Ting'an angrily said, "A mere fifth-rank official dares to go against my Shen family!"

Shen Yuanci shook his head. "I'm afraid Lord Lu is just following orders! I've also noticed that Lord Doctor treats me in a similar way. Not to mention these higher-ranking Lords, even the stewards in the Office of Internal Affairs have an even worse attitude!"

Shen Yuanci was ashamed to mention those indecent details, but Song Wu and Shen Ting'an had actually seen that the entire Ministry of Personnel was using cold violence against him. Almost everyone who made a mistake would eventually be implicated in it and make him be punished!

Song Wu said: "They are willing to do this even if it means offending the Shen family. I believe the power behind them must be even greater than Lord Shen's!"

At this point, Shen Ting'an suddenly slapped his thigh. "I'm afraid this matter involves more than just this. The anger that I've been holding in my heart for all these years must be related to the person behind this!"

In fact, he was not the current deputy commander-in-chief of the cavalry of the Five Army Camp, but the left commander-in-chief of the central army of the Five Army Commandery. He was the truly powerful military commander and held the core military power of Daliang.

But ever since the brutal massacre at Prince Ding's Mansion fifteen years ago, he had been demoted four levels in a row and became an unsuccessful deputy general.

Even in these fifteen years, he has never been deployed to the army and has not received any promotion!

This is also the real reason why he is so strict with Shen Yuanci. He hopes that he can succeed and take back the glory that once belonged to the Shen family!

Song Wu wasn't surprised by what Shen Ting'an said. "Then, was there a specific reason why Lord Shen was demoted?"

He thought for a moment, "It's said that Prince Ding's palace was not well protected!"

What reason is this?

Not only did he not protect her, but he rubbed salt into the wound!

Song Wu: "Have you made any mistakes or omissions in your official duties over the years?"

Shen Tingan: "No!"

Song Wu pondered as he spoke, "He's been planning this for years, keeping everything airtight. He's probably worried you'll find out, and since he hasn't caught Lord Shen making any mistakes, you haven't been demoted again! His real purpose is probably to vent his anger!"

"Vent your anger?" Shen Yuanci was suspicious.

Song Wu nodded. "The target of his rage was Princess Changyang! Prince Ding's mansion was massacred, and Princess Changyang was actually among the target of that person's murder. It was because she went into labor prematurely, and God intervened, saving both the Princess and Miss Shen's lives!"

"But that person was clearly dissatisfied, which is why he kept suppressing Lord Shen, the highest-ranking military officer, and then Master Yuanci..."

Everyone in the Shen family, including Lu Xiao, could no longer sit still!

No wonder they thought so much about it. Who has such great power and can easily deal with the Shen family? Now there is probably only one answer.

Princess Changyang's eyes were bloodshot: "Why would the emperor do this?!"

Shen Ting'an quickly covered her mouth. "I don't think it's the Emperor. He never believes in ghosts or gods! How can he manipulate spells?"

He glanced at everyone present, then looked at Song Wu warily and said, "This is a serious matter. Without evidence, we can't tell exactly what happened! We should be more careful next time! The Emperor is in his prime, in his youth and glory, and has governed Daliang with peace and prosperity. How could he possibly do such a thing?!"

Song Wu chuckled softly, "Master Shen, I'm only here to save Master Shen today. I don't want to get involved in the rest of the behind-the-scenes stuff. Master Shen, you're being overly suspicious!"

"Princess, please forgive me!" Princess Changyang felt ashamed and angry when she saw Shen Ting'an like this. After giving him a sidelong glance, she hurriedly said to Song Wu, "My master is also worried, and he doesn't mean to distrust you!"

Shen Yuanci also hurriedly said anxiously: "I believe you! No one else would have to take such a big risk to save me and help us find these connections! We can't thank you enough!"

Shen Ting'an rubbed his temple nervously. "Princess, serving in the court is like walking on thin ice. You were once a talented woman in the capital, so you must know the intricacies of this..."

Song Wu nodded. "Now that today's matter has been resolved, Lord Shen and the princess should be careful in the future. I'll take my leave now! However, I hope the Shen family will keep this secret for me and not reveal that I understand the mystical arts!"

After Shen Ting'an's repeated assurances, Princess Changyang quickly took out the thank-you gift she had prepared in advance. "Princess, twenty thousand taels is not enough to express our gratitude. I've also specially picked out some small items for you to take back and enjoy. I also wish you and the prince a happy and long life together!"

Sang Luo, who was outside the door, accepted a car full of rich and valuable thank-you gifts for Song Wu. His heart suddenly felt as bright as if he had drunk honey, beautiful and sweet!

Seeing that Lu Xiao and Song Wu were about to leave, Shen Xingcan hurried to follow them out.

Shen Yuanci also hurriedly said to his parents: "I'll go see the princess off!"

When Song Wu left Shen Yuanci's yard, he discovered that Shen Xingcan was interested in Lu Xiao. The little girl followed Lu Xiao closely, with no concealment of admiration in her expression.

She chuckled and deliberately left space for Shen Xingcan to have a chance to talk to Lu Xiao.

At this moment, a figure walked side by side with her on her left: "I didn't know that Prince Jin would get married so soon!"

When Song Wu saw that it was Shen Yuanci, he knew that this man was kind and upright in heart, so he did not resist talking to him.

"Prince Jin's life was on the line, and he needed someone to bring him good luck, so he chose me. Fate waits for no one, so the marriage was quicker!"

Shen Yuanci looked at her expression and felt suddenly relieved, but also a little uncomfortable.

"I see. Does it seem like Prince Jin is doing much better now?"

Song Wu smiled and nodded: "It was just yesterday."

"Your Highness and Miss Song, both are blessed by God and will be safe."

His grip loosened and tightened again: "Then... can Yuanci be friends with Miss Song?"

At this moment, Song Wu suddenly realized that he actually called her Miss Song instead of Princess?

Yes, he never called her princess at the beginning.

She couldn't help but think of what the ancestors said.

"Your destined one will be born within the seven years of your rebirth. If you cannot give birth to a child within seven years, your soul will be shattered..."

Could it be that Shen Yuanci is my destined person?!
