Chapter 816 You want to get my free stuff!

In fact, it’s not that the princess didn’t investigate it.

But the person behind the scenes is hiding too deeply and is actually an insignificant person. The more this is the case, the more abnormal it is.

Shen Xia listened to Ling Heng's words.

How could she not be curious?

Shen Xia finally felt what Ling Heng said about him being more valuable. It had to be said that he was always demonstrating his value in front of her.

Shen Xia curled her lips: "Conditions?"

Ling Heng shook his head: "No conditions, if you ask me, I will tell you."

Ling Heng gradually understood Shen Xia's character, so he felt that Shen Xia liked to use soft tactics and that being hard was useless.

So Ling Heng decided to adopt a conciliatory strategy.

Shen Xia raised an eyebrow: "What if I want to know, but don't want to ask!"

Ling Heng said lightly: "You want to get my hands on me for free!"

When Shen Xia heard this, she said, “Ahem…”

What a vicious and lewd thing this bastard is saying.

Seeing that she was choking on her own saliva, Ling Heng quickly stood up and went to the table to pour her a glass of water.

Then he helped Shen Xia up: "Come, drink some water first, you also think you have gone too far!"

Shen Xia thought to herself: Haha, she is also planning to be a little thick-skinned, it’s not too much at all.

But the choking is real.

Ling Heng held the water and gently patted her back to calm her down: "Are you feeling better?"

Shen Xia nodded. This guy always likes to say something shocking.

At this time, Shen Xia didn't notice that she was leaning on Ling Heng's chest to drink water.

When he reacted, he nodded repeatedly and stood up straight: "Okay."

Ling Heng stood up and put the teacup away.

Then he looked at Shen Xia and said, "Duke Sang's men."

Shen Xia was puzzled: "What?"

Duke Sang, who is this person?

She has been in Beijing for almost half a year and has never heard of this person.

Ling Heng continued to explain: "The people who killed you on the way back to Beijing last time were from Duke Sang's side."

"Who is Duke Sang? Why have I never heard of him?" But when I heard the title, I knew his status was not low. How come I had never heard of him?

Is he like the princess mother, who usually stays indoors?

Ling Heng explained: "Of course you haven't heard of it! He was a second-rank cabinet minister before, so he retired. His Majesty thought he had time in recent years, so he made him a Duke."

Shen Xia was puzzled: "Does the princess have a grudge against him?"

Ling Heng shook his head: "No."

"Why then?"

Ling Heng said lightly: "Duke Sang is the grandfather of the current emperor."

Shen Xia understood: "So it was your Majesty who did it."

Ling Heng shook his head: "Not necessarily."

"Ah? Why?"

Ling Heng said: "I heard that Duke Sang originally had no intention of resigning from the court, but His Majesty tempted him with the position of Duke, so he had no choice but to resign."

Shen Xia understood that Gu Yichen didn't want any outside family to have too much power.

Important ministers can control the government, but the title of Duke, although it can be inherited, poses no threat to the emperor.

So, if you give up the title of Duke but can take back some real power, why not do it?

Ling Heng continued, "Of course, when the emperor was young, his maternal family helped him a lot. Without the help of his maternal family, he would not have been able to take over all the power from the eldest princess so quickly."

Shen Xia thought to himself, this is like crossing the river and destroying the bridge, killing the donkey after it has done its work!

Shen Xia thought that the relationship between the two was not that good, so it was unlikely that this was the work of His Majesty.

Whose would it be?

Shen Xia simply couldn't understand who else except the emperor would attack the princess.

In fact, there is no need to worry about the princess having any ulterior motives.

If someone really had ulterior motives, he would have had them long ago. Of course, he would have just agreed to it directly. There would be no need to wait until now.

Seeing Shen Xia in deep thought, Ling Heng could only say, "Pay more attention to the Queen Mother when you enter the palace in the future. This matter may be related to her."

Shen Xia looked at Ling Heng in surprise: "How could it be? Hasn't the Queen Mother stayed at home for many years? She has devoted herself to Buddhism in the harem."

Ling Heng: "Who is a good family? They are always talking about Buddhism. I'm afraid they have done too many bad things."

The corner of Shen Xia's mouth twitched, it seemed that there was some truth in it.

Shen Xia's mind is like a mess now.

This is too messy.

It's just that things are so complicated.

What does the Queen Mother mean?

Why?

Shen Xia suddenly remembered her previous suspicions.

My mother originally planned to take the Queen Mother's hair to test her relationship with His Majesty, but she still hasn't got it, so...

I have to say that Shen Xia's guess is close to the truth.

What the princess had someone do before was really exposed.

But as for wanting to get hair.

The Queen Mother knew it very well.

After all, it’s useless for others to hold your hair.

So now the Queen Mother is quite wary of the eldest princess and Princess Anping.

Shen Xia thought for a while. These things still needed to be planned one by one. She could ask her fourth brother if there were any problems, because he had been an official in the court for many years in his previous life.

Thinking that it was getting late, she looked at Ling Heng and said, "It's getting late tonight, you should go back to bed!" Shen Xia suggested.

Thinking that I had been sick for a few days, they must not have slept well.

Only when I get better today, they may be able to sleep peacefully.

Ling Heng listened.

It felt like Shen Xia despised herself.

"You still dislike me." Ling Heng said dissatisfiedly.

Shen Xia's mouth twitched: "Nothing, what are you thinking. I just felt that I hadn't woken up in the past few days, and I thought you were all worried. Now I'm finally awake, and you can sleep peacefully."

Ling Heng felt happy as he listened to Shen Xia's explanation.

She began to explain to herself.

So maybe she was also afraid that she was overthinking things.

Isn’t this considered progress?

Finally, the clouds cleared and the moon appeared.

Ling Heng saw that Shen Xia showed signs of giving in, so he stopped bothering her.

Some things cannot be achieved by haste.

Ling Heng looked at Shen Xia and gently gathered the quilt around him: "Rest well and don't catch a cold."

Shen Xia nodded: "Okay."

But I was thinking, this guy doesn't know the season at all!

It's June now and we're all covered with quilts, so how can we be cold?

It’s just that the rooms nowadays have a ceiling height of five or six meters. Even if the weather outside is hot, it’s fine as long as you are in the room.

After watching Ling Heng go out.

Shen Xia continued to close his eyes and maintain his health.

Shen Xia suddenly wanted to train an army of sharpshooters.

Such a good artifact is useless in my hands.

If she trains a team like this well, I'm afraid they will be quite strong.

At least it can save lives at the critical moment!

I just don't have any shooting skills, so even if I have a gun it will be useless.

The more Shen Xia thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, since his father happened to know how to do it anyway.

It's just this thing, it's made very densely.

And the sound of gunfire is quite loud, so choosing the location is very important.

Shen Xia then thought of Ling Heng’s manor.

It’s just too beautiful.

Shen Xia slowly planned in her mind.

for the future.

But Ling Heng is different.

Just left Shen Xia's room.

Then I saw a person standing outside the yard.

Stand tall and straight.
