Sheng Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled: "Who? Who to die?"

Shi Huaizhi sneered: "Of course it's... the emperor."

Sheng Nanzhi fell silent after hearing this. She had indeed thought about this when she was in the car before. If the emperor died, everything would be solved.

No one would let her enter the palace again.

Moreover, if the emperor died, the princes would immediately be caught up in the fight for the throne and would have no time to care about her, the widowed Princess Yi.

But she was just thinking about it, that's all.

But I didn't expect that Shi Huaizhi would also have such thoughts.

Even looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was planning to do so.

Sheng Nanzhi stroked the teacup beside him. "The emperor is heavily guarded. Getting rid of him shouldn't be that easy, right?"

"Also, you pretended to be unconscious before, so you must have planned it. So, these things are all going according to your plan, right?"

"Will suddenly bringing forward the emperor's death disrupt your plans?"

"Most importantly, if the emperor dies, how will you end these things? How will you get what you want?"

Shi Huaizhi pursed his lips and said, "These are all irrelevant. You don't have to worry about them. This is what I need to worry about."

"Just think about it. If the emperor died, wouldn't all the current difficulties be resolved?"

"Is it true that neither the Emperor nor Wen Tingyun can make a move on you?"

Sheng Nanzhi was silent for a moment: "Yes."

How can you still target her when the emperor is dead?

As for Wen Tingyun...

If the emperor died, the first person to be eliminated by all the princes as a thorn in their eyes would definitely be Wen Tingyun.

With the power and support he currently possesses, Wen Tingyun will not survive more than three days.

Then of course, there is no way to plot against her anymore.

Shi Huaizhi nodded: "So, this is the optimal solution."

"As for what you're thinking about, such as whether I can kill the emperor? For example, after the emperor dies, how will I end it? How will I get what I want?"

"These are not your concerns."

"I will handle everything myself."

"I've said before that you are my wife. You don't need to do anything, just stand firmly behind me."

"If I can't even protect you, how can I talk about loving you?"

Sheng Nanzhi's throat moved slightly, and she raised her head to look at Shi Huaizhi.

It was both ridiculous and pathetic. In her two lifetimes, this was the first time someone had said such words to her.

She was sent to a farm when she was young. The people on the farm were all cruel and vicious. The servants she brought with her didn't care about her at all. She knew from a young age that only by making herself strong could she protect herself.

She has always been taught by reality and knows clearly that she can never rely on everyone, as no one is reliable.

In her previous life, she married Wen Tingyun, so it was natural for her to plan everything for Wen Tingyun and protect him well.

She thought she had done well enough, but she didn't end up well.

This time, she did not intend to get involved in the struggle for imperial power. The people she originally intended to protect had also turned against her. She now only planned to stay out of trouble. Once faced with some troublesome things, the first thought in her mind was to run.

Go somewhere else, do what you want to do, and live a leisurely and peaceful life.

But at this moment, her husband, whom she had only treated as a tool from the beginning, suddenly told her that she didn't have to do anything and didn't have to worry about anything. She just had to believe in him and he would solve everything for her.

She didn't feel very moved, but just felt a little lost.

Even Shi Huaizhi seemed to have said just now, if you don’t even have the ability to protect her, how can you talk about loving her?

When she heard the word love, she even wanted to escape.

My subconscious reaction was: It would be better to let her run away.

But Sheng Nanzhi never thought that Shi Huaizhi would act so quickly. Only three days later, news suddenly came from the palace.

"Something big happened in the palace!"

"His Majesty suddenly collapsed while discussing matters with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and subsequently fell into a coma."

"The palace is in chaos now. Several princes have rushed in, insisting that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is plotting to seize the throne and murder His Majesty."

"I personally led people to tie up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and requested a joint interrogation by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice."

Sheng Nanzhi subconsciously glanced at Shi Huai, who was wearing a human skin mask as a guard and standing calmly beside him, and her heart was filled with uncontrollable shock.

Although it was known that Shi Huaizhi had been planning to seize the throne, and that the emperor's previous poisoning was most likely manipulated by Shi Huaizhi.

But he has only been in a coma for two or three months. In such a short period of time, he was able to control everything and kill the emperor whenever he wanted. This was something Sheng Nanzhi never expected.

Shi Huaizhi was a bit too scary.

No wonder...

No wonder the emperor was wary of Shi Huaizhi before and tried every means to get rid of him.

If Shi Huaizhi had not been in a coma in her previous life, her plan to help Wen Tingyun to secure the position of crown prince would probably not have gone so smoothly.

Fortunately, they were never rivals.

Sheng Nanzhi responded and ordered the servants: "Close the door tightly and tell everyone that I am sick."

"Yes."

Let the other princes fight.

She sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the tigers, just treating it as a show.

As long as it doesn't affect her.

Sheng Nanzhi thought about it, but quickly raised her head and exchanged glances with Shuanghan.

Shuanghan immediately understood, nodded towards Sheng Nanzhi, and retreated silently.

In the evening, news came from outside the mansion again.

It was probably because of Wen Tingyun. Previously, Wen Tingyun's request to marry Sheng Nanzhi had caused Sheng Nanzhi to break off relations and be assassinated. As soon as she got the news, Jinxin hurried over to share with Sheng Nanzhi: "When Wen Tingyun was admitted into the royal family and moved to the Seventh Prince's residence, wasn't there a prostitute who ran to the Seventh Prince's residence and claimed to be pregnant with Wen Tingyun's child?"

"Wen Tingyun kept the prostitute and found a courtyard outside the mansion to house her."

"Today, the woman went out on the street and was caught by the madam of her previous building. She said she promised her five thousand taels of silver if she would lie to her and let her use her unborn child to get close to Wen Tingyun. But once she got close to him, she denied the debt."

"Then they spread rumors on the street that the child in the brothel girl's belly was not Wen Tingyun's at all, and that Wen Tingyun had never had sex with her that day."

"They said she bribed her and the doctor, making her lie that she was a prostitute, selling her art but not her body. In reality, the woman had been deflowered months ago. She also had the doctor lie about the month of pregnancy and pass it off as Wen Tingyun's child."

"In fact, she was already pregnant. She became pregnant half a month before Wen Tingyun asked her to sing."
