Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 43 The Crown Princess Invites

Shen Jiasui sorted out the key points from Zhao Huaizhen's incoherent and emotional speech.

This is Zhao Huaizhen's Chaoyun Courtyard. He is lying in a side room. In the main room lies the Crown Princess, who is now safe and sound. Princess Rong is accompanying her.

As for her, she was brought back by her mother, and Jiang Xun was watching over her at the time.

Hearing this, Shen Jiasui's heart skipped a beat.

Just now she felt like she had a very long dream, in which she dreamed of Lu Yunzheng, Gu Xizhi, and Jiang Xun.

She wasn't sure if she had spoken out of turn in front of Jiang Xun...

Seeing that Shen Jiasui suddenly froze, Zhao Huaizhen thought she had not recovered yet, so he got up and went to find the court doctor to check on her again.

Shen Jiasui came to his senses and immediately grabbed her, asking quickly, "Princess, no one saw you when you came back, right? Didn't anyone spread any bad rumors about you?"

Zhao Huaizhen shook his head. "Don't worry, I was very careful along the way. I didn't let anyone see...see her appearance too much."

Shen Jiasui felt relieved when he heard this.

Great.

In this way, the Crown Princess' life should be saved.

Zhao Huaizhen was sitting beside the couch. Seeing Shen Jiasui's face was still very pale, he felt mixed emotions and suddenly stood up.

"what happened?"

When Shen Jiasui saw that Zhao Huaizhen's expression had inexplicably become serious, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Is there something missing?

Zhao Huaizhen's expression was solemn. The next moment, he bowed deeply to Shen Jiasui and said sincerely:

"Shen Jiasui, my mother just said that you are a great benefactor to Prince Rong's Mansion. Please accept my greetings."

Shen Jiasui found this unbelievable and quickly leaned over to help.

"My Lady, there is no need for this. I, a humble servant, do not deserve this courtesy."

However, Zhao Huaizhen stubbornly completed the ceremony and then slowly stood up.

Only then did Shen Jiasui realize that Zhao Huaizhen had tears in his eyes and his face was full of panic and fear.

"Shen Jiasui, you don't know, you don't know how vicious the thieves' plan is. Do you know who else was led to the changing room besides the Crown Princess?"

Shen Jiasui was stunned at first, then his eyes slowly widened.

not......

Zhao Huaizhen knew that Shen Jiasui must have guessed it, so he nodded gently and said with a look of fear:

"If my brother hadn't just happened to be coming out of the men's changing room and seen the eunuch leading His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiang to the women's changing room at the fork in the road, a huge disaster would have occurred."

"If this happens, not only will I lose the grace of heaven, but even the destruction of Prince Rong's entire family will not be enough to atone for my sins!"

When Shen Jiasui heard this, a complete thread suddenly flashed through his mind, connecting everything that happened today.

Therefore, the initial target of the person behind the scenes was the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, or in other words... the position of Crown Prince!

The person the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness Prince Xiang are least guarded against is the little grandson of the emperor. If the little grandson of the emperor hands over some cakes, they will never refuse them.

If a princess consort and a prince were really found lying on the same bed, one crime would be incest, and the other would be betrayal of the late Prince Xianhuai. No matter what, the two would definitely not survive.

And since the young emperor has such a notorious mother, how could he inherit the throne? It would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!

What horrified Shen Jiasui the most was that the person behind the scenes changed his plan so quickly after seeing that His Royal Highness Prince Xiang had not gone to the women's changing room and replaced him with another man. What kind of cunning tricks were these?

This shows that "it" is always in control of the overall situation and watching everyone's movements!

Shen Jiasui didn't know who this "it" was, but judging from the person who benefited in the end, all the blame was directed at His Royal Highness Prince Rui, whom he had never met.

But Shen Jiasui did not dare to jump to conclusion.

The water was so deep that she couldn't reach the bottom.

And were the entire Shen family in the previous life just one of the lonely boats drifting in the wind and rain in this pool of water?

Shen Jiasui was lost in thought when a maid came to the door and reported: "Princess, the nobleman wants to see Miss Shen."

Zhao Huaizhen quickly responded after hearing this, then turned to look at Shen Jiasui, "Can you walk?"

Ji Wan had just avoided it, but when she heard the report, she walked over quickly and saw Shen Jiasui lifting the quilt without hesitation.

Although his chest still ached slightly and his limbs felt weak, Shen Jiasui remained calm and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm a rough guy."

"Mother, every year goes by and comes back."

Ji Wan was worried, but she still smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mom will wait for you here."

----

There was a faint smell of incense burning in the main house, and all the servants had been sent out.

When Zhao Huaizhen and Shen Jiasui arrived at the bedroom, they saw Princess Rong sitting beside the couch, holding the Crown Princess's hand and whispering something.

Hearing the footsteps, they both turned around and looked over.

Shen Jiasui didn't dare look directly at the Crown Princess, but knelt respectfully. Before he could salute, a gentle voice sounded:

"No need to bow, come here and let me take a look."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Huaizhen pulled Shen Jiasui to the couch. Princess Rong had already stood up and made room for her.

"Miss Shen, I heard from my aunt that it was you and Huaizhen who saved me."

Only then did Shen Jiasui lower his eyes to look at the Crown Princess. He saw that although the Crown Princess's face was pale, her eyebrows were soft and there was a smile on her lips.

She took the initiative to reach out and pull Shen Jiasui to sit beside the couch.

"No need to be so formal. If it weren't for you today, I would have no choice but to die to atone for my sins and prove my innocence."

Perhaps noticing the worry in Shen Jiasui's eyes, the Crown Princess smiled softly and spoke in a gentle voice.

At this time, Princess Rong took Zhao Huaizhen outside, leaving the inner room alone to Shen Jiasui and the Crown Princess.

Shen Jiasui was very clear-headed and did not relax because of the Crown Princess's closeness. Instead, he respectfully assured:

"Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that I will not reveal a single detail of what happened today."

When the Crown Princess saw Shen Jiasui's serious expression, she burst out laughing.

"Why, Miss Shen, do you think I want to repay kindness with enmity and kill people to silence them?"

Shen Jiasui hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant."

The Crown Princess also shook her head. The smile on her face faded a little. She looked at the sky-blue bed curtains and whispered:

"Ms. Shen, you are still young and perhaps don't understand a mother's determination to protect her child."

"Since today's plan didn't kill me, I will live forever from now on, for my children and for the deceased."

When mentioning the deceased, the Crown Princess's face was filled with deep sadness, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Miss Shen, I called you here this time. In addition to thanking you, I also want to ask you to cooperate with Lord Jiang."

"Your Highness treated Lord Jiang like a brother during his lifetime, so I also trust Lord Jiang."

"If Lord Jiang asks about it, Miss Shen, you don't have to worry about me. Just tell Lord Jiang exactly what you saw."

Shen Jiasui looked at the Crown Princess's calm expression even after she encountered such a shocking incident, and realized that she was not as weak as he had imagined. He felt respect and admiration in his heart and nodded slightly.

"Your Highness will remember what I have said."

At this moment, Zhao Huaizhen entered the inner room and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang sent someone to inquire about Miss Shen's situation."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess smiled at Shen Jiasui.

Shen Jiasui stood up to take his leave, feeling a little uneasy.

She just now...didn't she talk nonsense in front of Jiang Xun?
