After Sheng Nanzhi finished singing such a big show, she said she was too tired and went back to the attic.

Back in the attic, Sheng Nanzhi called Shi Huaizhi out again.

"Did you put that weapon with the name and forging time in there? It's so obvious, aren't you afraid it will arouse suspicion?"

Shi Huaizhi lowered his eyes and smiled. "I didn't place the weapon with the name and forging time, but I did place the time forging in April. I'm not afraid. I didn't do it obviously enough. Can't others see it?"

"I'm also afraid that this charge of treason will affect you and our children."

"Therefore, clearing the name is the top priority."

Shi Huaizhi looked at Sheng Nanzhi with an increasingly passionate gaze: "But I didn't expect that my princess would be so smart."

"Even without those marks, the mere presence of those boxes and the weapons inside clears me of the charges."

Shi Huaizhi curled his lips. "But it doesn't matter. Even if those weapons forged in April are placed here, it does seem a bit obvious. But after the princess's previous explanation, the emperor will only suspect that the person behind the scenes is stupid and doesn't understand these conventions. He won't suspect me."

Sheng Nanzhi nodded: "The only person in the court who knows nothing about this and can compete for the throne is Wen Tingyun."

"By shifting the blame elsewhere, I've completely broken off relations with them."

A smile flickered in Shi Huaizhi's eyes: "I thought the princess had already completely broken off relations with them."

"What's more, perhaps the princess isn't trying to deflect blame, but is simply trying to find the real murderer behind the scenes."

Sheng Nanzhi suddenly turned around and looked at Shi Huaizhi. The direction of Shi Huaizhi's words was too clear.

"You mean, this matter was indeed done by Wen Tingyun?"

She couldn't help but frowned: "Shouldn't it be?"

According to her understanding of Wen Tingyun in her previous life, Wen Tingyun did not have such courage and boldness.

If he was so capable, she wouldn't have to work so hard in her previous life.

Moreover, Wen Tingyun probably wouldn't suspect that Shi Huaizhi was faking her coma. While Shi Huaizhi was unconscious, the baby in her belly was still small, and the gender of the baby wasn't even known, so it posed little threat to him.

He doesn't need to do that.

But Shi Huaizhi would never speak without a purpose. He would say this because he must have already obtained some evidence.

"Why did he do this?"

Shi Huaizhi laughed: "Maybe it's just targeting you? I just think that you are the only mistress in Prince Yi's mansion, and you are very easy to deal with and control."

Sheng Nanzhi frowned, but felt that Wen Tingyun might indeed do such a thing.

What's more, there is Sheng Qingqian by Wen Tingyun's side now.

Both of them, husband and wife, hated her very much.

Do you think she's easy to deal with? Do you want to get rid of her first?

Sheng Nanzhi sneered, and this couple had really hit a wall.

"What do you think about this, Princess?" Shi Huaizhi was very interested.

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyelids: "How do you see it?"

"If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. If someone offends me, I will cut off the roots."

Shi Huaizhi raised the corner of his mouth: "I'm afraid there's no way to eliminate the roots. The emperor is still quite protective of him now."

"He won't believe he did these things."

"However, this will sow some seeds of doubt in his heart, and sooner or later these seeds will take root and sprout in his heart."

Sheng Nanzhi didn't think so: "To deal with someone, you don't have to accuse him of treason. There are many ways to deal with him."

All she needs to do now is to arrange everything and wait for the opportunity.

But before she had time to cause trouble for Wen Tingyun, Wen Tingyun and Sheng Qingqian arrived first.

But on the second day, Sheng Nanzhi heard the servants come to report: "The Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince's Consort came to visit the prince."

Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyelids. The fire in the main courtyard had been going on for many days, and everyone in the imperial city knew about it. The Sheng Mansion had sent people to inquire about the situation several days ago.

It was really strange that Wen Tingyun and the others didn't run over to watch the fun right away.

"Please invite them to Huai'an Courtyard."

The servant agreed, and Sheng Nanzhi rushed to Huai'an Courtyard.

But before leaving, he still instructed the maid: "Arrange someone to go to the main courtyard and pretend to accidentally leak the news that the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince's Consort had come to Prince Yi's Mansion."

As soon as she sat down beside the bed, Wen Tingyun and Sheng Qingqian walked in.

Sheng Qingqian was quite good at pretending in front of others, her face full of concern: "Big sister, I heard that there was a fire in Prince Yi's mansion some time ago, and it happened to burn down the main courtyard where the prince is. How is the prince?"

As soon as Sheng Qingqian finished asking the question, she saw the person lying on the bed.

She couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Oh my God, this is the prince? How could he be burned like this?"

"This looks a bit too scary, doesn't it?"

She quickly covered her eyes: "I dare not look, I'm afraid I will have a nightmare when I go home tonight."

"Big sister, aren't you scared? Prince Yi's face..."

Wen Tingyun's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "What is she afraid of? Didn't she use all her tricks and schemes to get this marriage and this husband?"

Sheng Nanzhi smiled and said, "Seventh Prince is right. The person lying on this bed is my husband. What do I have to be afraid of?"

"But, are the Seventh Prince and Princess here to visit the patient?"

"If you're here to visit a patient, why... don't you bring anything?"

"Could it be that the Seventh Prince's Mansion has fallen to this state? Or has no one told the Seventh Prince and his wife that they need to bring gifts when visiting the sick?"

"Shouldn't it be? My sister is the Seventh Prince's consort and the mistress of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. How could she not even prepare these?"

Sheng Qingqian gritted her teeth. She was indeed not prepared. She just wanted to come and see Sheng Nanzhi make a fool of herself, that was all.

"How could I not prepare anything? I just wondered what the prince's condition was like, and what supplements he could take, so I decided to wait and see what happened, and then decide what to send based on his condition."

"When I get back later, I'll have someone deliver the things."

"You and I are sisters. Big sister wouldn't be so petty, right?"

Sheng Nanzhi shook her head: "Of course not."

But she still felt strange in her heart. Sheng Qingqian was obviously here to laugh at her and Shi Huaizhi.

Why didn't you come here as soon as possible?

That's not their nature.

Could it be that something happened to hold them back?

Just as she was thinking, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door, accompanied by the sound of armor. It should be Commander Lin of the Royal Guard.

"Princess, I heard that the Seventh Prince has arrived."

"It just so happens that I have something to ask the Seventh Prince for his cooperation in the investigation. This will save me from having to go to the Seventh Prince's mansion again."
