Sheng Nanzhi shook his head.

Seeing Sheng Nanzhi shaking his head, Sheng Lin frowned: "Do you think he can't do it?"

Sheng Nanzhi almost choked on her own saliva. No way?

Is this a bit of a double entendre?

But the current Wen Tingyun is really not capable of doing that.

She quickly said, "It's not impossible. My daughter just feels that the situation is still unclear and it's too early to draw a conclusion."

"If we put all our hopes on Wen Tingyun now, we might not be able to afford any unexpected events in the future."

"Struggles for power are inherently full of variables."

"At least two months ago, none of us knew that Wen Tingyun was actually the prince."

"Then two months later, or even longer, will there be any other variables? Will another prince suddenly appear? No one knows."

As the prime minister, Sheng Lin certainly knew that the struggle for power was extremely volatile.

I also know that being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. The emperor's mind is the most difficult to guess and the most changeable.

But, many times, as a court official, taking sides is a gamble.

"What I'm afraid of is that if we wait too long and don't make a decision, someone will stand by Wen Tingyun's side and be relied upon by him."

"If we wait until the situation becomes clear before we move forward, it will be... too late."

Sheng Nanzhi smiled and said, "Dad, what are you afraid of? Wen Tingyun is still your son-in-law."

"With this relationship, Wen Tingyun is now tied to you, Daddy."

"Dad has been in the court for so many years, isn't it easy to coax Wen Tingyun?"

"I don't think Wen Tingyun is very smart."

Sheng Lin's eyebrows moved slightly. What Sheng Nanzhi said was not wrong.

but……

Sheng Lin raised his hand and pressed his forehead. "I don't know what's wrong with Qingqian. She's been going crazy these past two days because of Yue Niang's incident."

"She's been making trouble in front of Wen Tingyun all day long."

Sheng Lin sighed: "We can only take it one step at a time."

If Sheng Qingqian is really too stupid, then he can only turn his attention to Sheng Nanzhi.

When Sheng Nanzhi left the study, Li Yueru was still there. As soon as she saw Sheng Nanzhi, she rushed over and asked, "What happened to my Yunrou? How could my Yunrou possibly poison His Majesty?"

"Someone must have deliberately framed her."

"I want to enter the palace! I want to enter the palace to see Yun Rou!"

Sheng Lin, who was following behind Sheng Nanzhi, suddenly looked gloomy. "Come in with me."

Li Yueru hurriedly followed Sheng Lin into the study. Only then did Sheng Nanzhi notice that there was a strange face among the maids who had been following Li Yueru before.

Seeing Sheng Nanzhi looking over, the maid even nodded at her subtly.

Sheng Nanzhi understood in her heart that this should be... Mo Tao.

His appearance had changed and the burn marks on his face were gone, so he was unrecognizable.

Sheng Nanzhi pretended not to see her and walked away without looking at her.

In the evening, Nanny Jin received news from the palace and came to chat with Sheng Nanzhi.

"His Majesty must still be thinking of the prince. After the princess left this morning, His Majesty immediately changed his attitude and ordered a thorough investigation into his poisoning."

"Start with the people who serve and care for His Majesty, and interrogate them one by one."

"It makes people panic."

Nanny Jin lowered her eyes. "Although the real culprit behind the poisoning of His Majesty may not be found, in this matter, someone must be the one who did it."

Nanny Jin's words sounded somewhat contradictory, but Sheng Nanzhi quickly understood what she meant.

What Nanny Jin meant was that the real murderer might not be caught.

But even if the real murderer cannot be found, someone will be brought forward to take the blame.

Sheng Nanzhi blinked. "According to Mother's previous speculation, it's most likely Du Qiyu or Wen Tingyun, right?"

Nanny Jin shook her head: "No, it can't be them."

Of course Sheng Nanzhi knew that it couldn't be them. Whether it was Du Qiyu or Wen Tingyun, they were the people the emperor tried his best to protect.

As long as they are not caught in the act, I'm afraid they won't be charged with this crime.

She said this on purpose. Although Concubine Hua and Nanny Jin seemed to like and trust her, sometimes the most taboo thing was to be too smart.

She had a scale in her heart and knew that in front of Sheng Lin, she had to find ways to show herself so that Sheng Lin would see her and trust her.

But in front of Nanny Jin and Concubine Hua, she must not be too smart.

She is now Shi Huaizhi's wife. Shi Huaizhi is in a coma and she is pregnant with Shi Huaizhi's child. Concubine Hua hopes that she will be a chess piece that she can control.

This thought flashed through Sheng Nanzhi's mind, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "It can't be them? Why?"

"Didn't Mother say that the Empress might have poisoned all of this? She was trying to frame Du Qiyu and Wen Tingyun?"

Nanny Jin smiled and said, "Perhaps the truth is indeed like this."

"But the Queen's plan may not succeed."

"The Empress sometimes overestimates her importance in the Emperor's heart."

"Your Majesty has actually been dissatisfied with the Queen for a long time."

Nanny Jin curled her lips and said, "When the prince was still healthy, His Majesty had always supported him, so that the imperial concubine could compete with the queen."

"At that time, the Imperial Concubine was flattered by His Majesty and became a little too flattered."

"It wasn't until something happened to the prince that she suddenly saw everything clearly."

"When the prince is in trouble, the imperial concubine will no longer compete with the queen, and the queen's family will dominate. This is a scene that Your Majesty absolutely does not want to see."

"At this time, Du Qiyu and Wen Tingyun appeared."

"If the Queen hadn't wanted to kill Du Qiyu and Wen Tingyun while they were still young and hadn't resorted to poisoning Your Majesty, Your Majesty might have been able to tolerate it."

"But the Queen really used the wrong trick."

"Your Majesty will not allow the Queen and the First Prince to covet the position under him."

Sheng Nanzhi bit her lip, looking extremely surprised. "So, Madam, what you're saying is that the losers of this round are probably the Empress and the Crown Prince?"

She was indeed surprised.

But what was surprising was that Nanny Jin and Concubine Hua could see so clearly.

I actually saw it.

It was probably just as Nanny Jin and Concubine Hua said themselves. Because of Shi Huaizhi's accident, they saw many things clearly.

Concubine Hua should have been a smart woman, but she was blinded by His Majesty before.

Now that he has come to his senses, he is actually a powerful character.

If she knew that Shi Huaizhi was not unconscious, this mother and son would join forces...

Then the ownership of the throne would probably be very different from that in the previous life.
