Chapter 198 Princess 6: I Don't Like Shen Zhiyi's Inner Voice
"Go check."
Even if they are related to you by blood, check.
[System system system.]
When Shen Zhiyi woke up, she found milk tea, snail rice noodles, Bao Shifu, and even fried chicken that she had only mentioned once in front of her.
【Ahhh, I love you, System!】
You healed my frightened heart.
Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but devour the food in a whirlwind, displaying no manners whatsoever.
The system shamelessly recorded this scene.
[System, why would anyone want to harm me? I'm not the old emperor; there's no reason for me to harm the old emperor.]
[Host, even the system is puzzled.]
His host is usually so quiet and reserved, so how did he attract so many enemies?
[Host, let me check.]
The system quickly reviewed the surveillance footage and finally extracted a segment for Shen Zhiyi.
[Holy crap, the Sixth Princess's new gigolo is from the previous dynasty.]
"Cough cough cough."
The old emperor was shocked.
No, how come the previous dynasty couldn't be completely wiped out?
[This new male favorite was the Crown Prince's study companion in the previous dynasty. After the Crown Prince died, the previous dynasty collapsed, and he was anxious to have the remnants of the previous dynasty bide their time. So those who tried to kill me were all from the previous dynasty. No wonder he committed suicide after failing to kill me; he was afraid of implicating the new male favorite.]
[That doesn't make sense either. If they're not going to kill the old emperor, why are they trying to kill me?]
Shen Zhiyi didn't understand.
The old emperor and others understood this perfectly well.
With Shen Zhiyi around, any actions they take against the old emperor will be quickly detected.
So they killed Shen Zhiyi first.
but……
"Could a mere gigolo hear that?"
The old emperor pursed his lips and gave a cold laugh.
He then turned and left, presumably heading to the Sixth Princess's place.
The sixth princess was currently entangled with her new male favorite.
She's recently developed a liking for the older man type.
The older ones are very caring, and the sixth princess said she likes them very much.
"Princess."
The maid outside called out anxiously many times.
Sweating profusely, the sixth princess said impatiently, "What's wrong? Do you want to die?"
The maid kowtowed and said, "Princess, His Majesty has arrived."
"Dad's here?"
The sixth princess kicked aside her new lover, straightened her clothes, and went to see the old emperor.
Upon discovering that Shen Zhiyi was not behind her, the Sixth Princess breathed a sigh of relief.
She has done many absurd things and doesn't want to see Shen Zhiyi at all.
"Lao Liu."
"father."
The sixth princess looked at the old emperor with some trepidation; she hadn't seen him so angry in a long time.
"Did you reveal Shen Lang's true feelings to others?"
The sixth princess's heart skipped a beat.
"Father, I didn't."
"lie."
The old emperor spoke with absolute certainty, and the sixth princess was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.
"Father, I was wrong. I didn't tell many people, just one of my male lovers. When I don't like him anymore, I'll kill him. No one will know."
The old emperor, not wanting to hear much more from the sixth princess, simply asked a question.
"Do you really dislike Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts?"
The sixth princess's lips trembled, and with a final wave of her hand, she lost her temper.
"Yes, my daughter doesn't like it. At the last palace banquet, she actually talked about my daughter's private affairs, which made my daughter a laughing stock among the women in the palace for a while."
After opening the floodgates, the Sixth Princess spilled everything.
During the time above, they were completely unaware of the old emperor's increasingly cold gaze.
"If you don't like it, then you don't need to listen to it anymore."
The sixth princess was taken aback: "Father, what do you mean?"
“From today onwards, you are no longer the Sixth Princess. Your hometown still needs people, so go back.”
The sixth princess was stunned, and she stood up from the ground.
“Father, if you want to send me to that poor, remote, godforsaken place, I won’t go.”
"If you don't go, you have to go."
The sixth princess said aggrievedly, "You treat your daughter like this because of an outsider."
Why didn't the old emperor realize before that his sixth son was incredibly stupid?
He shook his head in disappointment, put his hands behind his back, and left.
The heartbroken sixth princess wanted to seek comfort from her new lover, but...
"Princess, that person has been taken away by the Dragon Scale Guards."
"He took him away? Why? Why did Father have the right to do that?"
The maid trembled and said, "That person seems to be from the previous dynasty."
"The previous dynasty?"
The sixth princess turned pale; she understood.
She actually told people from the previous dynasty about Shen Zhiyi's affairs.
News of the Sixth Princess's accident quickly reached her birth mother, Consort Ling.
Consort Ling is a crybaby; she started sobbing as soon as she arrived.
"Your father is really something. That place is so far away. How could he bear to leave you there? What if you starve and get thin? Aren't you his favorite daughter?"
"Your favorite?"
The sixth princess gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"They like me only because I'm sixth in the rankings, and they like me only because only I and the Crown Prince call him 'father'."
"The only children Father Emperor truly loves are his and the Empress's. He can take back his love for the other children at any time."
The sixth princess wiped away her tears and asked, "Mother, what happened to Shen Zhiyi?"
"I heard they were assassinated, but we don't know their fate."
The sixth princess's face paled again; she knew she had stepped on her father's landmine this time.
"Mother, you must take good care of yourself in the palace after I leave."
“That’s fine, Mother will go and beg the Emperor to let me go with you.”
The sixth princess shook her head: "If you leave too, your daughter will really never come back."
Consort Ling nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Mother will find a way to get you back."
*
The new lover was taken to the prison cell and is currently being tortured.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review sat opposite him, sipping his tea while indifferent to the smell of blood.
"Confess your master, and maybe you'll die a quicker death."
The new male concubine spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with teeth, his voice weak yet fierce: "I am the master, what other master could there be?"
"You're just a mere tutor to the Crown Prince, hiding your identity for so many years. Your recent sudden activity is simply because you've discovered that there are survivors from the previous dynasty's royal family. If you just reveal their identities, you can die a less painful death."
The new male concubine chuckled softly.
“Your so-called 'attendant' knows everything, why don’t you go ask her and see if I have any master behind me?”
"He's completely stubborn."
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review shook his head, his plump body bearing a smile like that of a living Buddha, which sent chills down the spines of those who saw him.
"Just hit him, don't kill him."
When the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review came out of the prison, the Junior Justice said in bewilderment, "Why don't we just try to get information out of Shen Lang? Then we won't have to waste our energy trying to get information out of him."
"In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves. Is Shen Lang always by our side? When we were solving cases before, did you always think of Shen Lang?"
The Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review gave an awkward smile.
Every time he encountered a troublesome case, he really thought about going to Shen Zhiyi for her usual line of reasoning, but he never actually did it.
