"You know best that you are the father of the child."

When this word came out, everyone was surprised!

Shenyurong? Princess Yongning? These two people are suitable for the relationship?

King Cheng was in a mess and angrily said, "Li Xian, don't talk nonsense!" Although he also protects the Li family, he doesn't want the Li family to have a quarrel with him, which doesn't mean that the Li family can tell Yongning's secret here. Once Yongning becomes a person who doesn't love himself and has an affair with others before marriage, even his reputation will be affected.

The Li family is not such an impulsive person. Why should they expose each other's ugliness with Princess Yongning in the Jinluan hall today, and hurt both sides?!

Li Xian was very clear in his heart that, in any case, Princess Yongning would tell about his keeping of molestates. If he did not fight back, he was afraid that everyone in the world would believe Princess Yongning's words, and their Li family would henceforth become a laughing stock. She did the first day of junior high school, and he was not afraid to do the fifteenth. The world's tolerance for what he did is still higher than that of Princess Yongning.

And Shen Yurong, who has been standing in the crowd, has done an excellent job of being wise and protecting himself. No matter how the fire burns, he can't burn him, so he just sat on the sidelines. But why, why should Shen Yurong's evil seed be raised by their Li family? Their Li family is not a big enemy. All this was caused by Shen Yurong. If Princess Yongning hadn't been pregnant with Shen Yurong's child and wanted to save the child, how could Princess Liu ask the Empress Dowager to marry earlier and let their Li family suffer this catastrophe.

In short, it has become a joke of all officials. Then don't try to run away from any of them. All of them will fall into the water!

Shenyurong didn't expect it. Suddenly, he became the target of thousands of people. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, and he couldn't stand that kind of look, ridicule and schadenfreude for a moment. What he didn't know was how Li Xian knew that Princess Yongning's child was his own. Looking at Princess Yongning's expression, he was obviously surprised that Princess Yongning didn't say it. As for others, I believe Princess Yongning will not take the initiative to tell the story as long as she is not too stupid to be saved.

What should he do? Shen Yurong, who has always been alert, was really helpless at this moment. According to his original nature of not liking to argue with others, he should stand where he is, smile, let others look at him, and look like "he is not afraid of the crooked shadow". But today, with Princess Yongning present, no one knows what shocking things this brainless woman will do next to make everything worse.

So his light smile was almost out of support, and he had to speak for himself: "Lord Li's words are untrue, this is slander..."

"Lord Shen knows whether it's slander," Li Xian also said. "If you want to investigate, you can always find some clues. Lord Shen doesn't have to be anxious to prove his innocence, there will be evidence to do all this."

Originally, Li Xian only knew that Princess Yongning's child was not his own, but Li Xian could not find out who the child was. Until the second night after Princess Yongning miscarried, inexplicably, he received a letter from the little boy, saying that someone had put it on the little boy's desk, which was written to childe Li. The boy handed it to Li Xian. Li Xian opened it and saw that there was only a note in it, which said that Shen Yurong was the father of the evil seed in Princess Yongning's stomach.

Li Xian did not know who sent this letter, nor did he know whether what was said in this letter was true or false. But he carefully recalled that it seemed that Princess Yongning would go to every banquet where Shen Yurong was present. Even if Princess Yongning is not invited, Princess Yongning will also appear for various reasons. When people recall, they always think of some small details that they usually ignore. When Li Xian knew this relationship and recalled it with doubt, he found that there was indeed some unclear relationship between Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong.

Besides, there seems to be no more suitable candidate except Shen Yurong.

Just now, stimulated by Princess Yongning, Li Xian told the secret of Princess Yongning, but even at that time, Shen Yurong still looked like an outsider, but Li Xian was sensitive to the fact that Princess Yongning was in a panic and secretly glanced at Shen Yurong.

It was this look that made Li Xian no longer hesitate to say Shen Yurong's name, and Shen Yurong was indeed not innocent. Although he tried to hide it, he still could see it reluctantly. Even his argument seemed so weak.

They are all smart people, and they are all tacit things to each other. There are countless old foxes in Chaozhong, and some clues can be seen. I'm afraid what Princess Yongning said is true, and what eldest son Li said is also true. The eldest son of li really has the habit of raising boys, and Princess Yongning really has a secret relationship with Lord Shen, so she married the Li family in order to avoid people's eyes and ears.

What is right and what is wrong? While everyone is shocked, they also have the right to watch a joke with relish. Jiang Yuanbai stood quietly, with a smile on his mouth, as if he were a theater goer. But in my heart, I remembered what Jiang Li said to him at the beginning, why did I marry Princess Yongning to the Li family. He was persuaded by Jiang Li, and now he also confirmed that Jiang Li was right. Less than three months later, the Li family had a chicken flying dog jumping. Princess Yongning and the Li family tore their faces at each other, not to mention Princess Yongning. In short, Li Zhongnan lost his old face this time.

The more unlucky the Li family is, Jiang Yuanbai, as the opponent of the Li family, is certainly the happiest.

And all this, just because on that day, at general Ji's birthday banquet, Jiang Li heard a few more words from others in the government house, which completely changed the fate of Li Xian and Princess Yongning. Thinking about it, Jiang Yuanbai looked at Duke su.

Ji Heng stood on the side of the crowd. Even when he was so noisy, it didn't affect him at all. He stood calmly and looked at it with great interest. Obviously, he regarded this scene of chicken flying and dog jumping on the hall as an outsider on the stage who was just watching.

Jiang Yuanbai couldn't help but get confused. In this way, Cheng Wang and Youxiang should not be with Ji Heng, otherwise why can Ji Heng still watch the play so carelessly? I'm afraid they have already made some moves.

After all, it's urgent for Cheng Wang to raise an issue. We should be careful to distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend. Don't have a problem at this juncture.

When everything was in a mess in the Jinluan hall, there was another person, who also acted as a spectator, quietly taking a panoramic view of the movements of the servants. It is emperor Hong Xiao.

He didn't stop Princess Yongning's words, nor did he stop Li Xian from speaking. He didn't even protect Shen Yurong, who was very optimistic about him before. He didn't speak, but looked at these people tearing at each other, like a statue, high and contemptuous.

Until Duke Su made a long sound to signal everyone to stop, they were suddenly surprised that the emperor had not spoken, so they looked at it silently.

What does this mean? Do you mean to ignore it? Everyone found that no one could see through what emperor Hong Xiao was thinking, and King Cheng was also suspicious. His power is growing day by day, but he is more and more afraid of this brother. It is also because of this concern that he can't wait to raise matters this year. He always feels that if he waits any longer, it will be too late.

The emperor is also growing at a very fast speed.

In the Jin Luan hall, I don't know when it quieted down again. It was so quiet that even a needle could be heard. At the center of the vortex, Shen Yurong stood in a panic. Li Xian and Princess Yongning blamed each other, leaving no image at all.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at Yongning and suddenly laughed.

This smile, more inscrutable, let people feel his meaning, even Jiang Yuanbai, who has been with the emperor for many years, also involuntarily fought a cold war.

"In that case," said emperor Hong Xiao, "you want to make peace with Li Xian, I'm sure."

……

The story of Princess Yongning and Li Xian was still spread out.

At that time, there were so many civil and military officials in the Jinluan hall, which could not be concealed anyway. Princess Yongning once said that only the dead can keep secrets. But with so many courtiers, she can't make everyone dead. This dirty secret is doomed to be impossible to keep. Overnight, the scandal between the Li family and the princess of Yongning palace, together with the Shen Zhuangyuan, who has always been praised for his deep feelings and no regrets, has become the object of everyone's abuse and disgrace.

Princess Yongning got the Heli book as she wished, but this Heli book made her pay a huge price. She not only failed to revenge Li Xian's hatred of killing her son, but also took herself in. Li Xian actually involved Shen Yurong. Although the attitude of emperor Hong Xiao was intriguing, he only allowed him to leave without careful study. For example, whether Li Xian had a boy and whether Princess Yongning had a secret relationship with Shen Yurong. But three people become tigers. There is nothing that can be based on. It is still said to be boiling, and it is true. This kind of thing, which is originally true, is naturally a firm fact.

For a time, rumors abounded in Yanjing city.

Princess Yongning could not kill anyone who dared to speak behind her back, as she said, because she was under house arrest by King Cheng. King Cheng was furious. Princess Yongning's making such a scene in the Jinluan hall not only damaged his reputation, but also alienated the Li family from him at this important juncture. Shen Yurong, another promising confidant, was also involved. Originally, Shen Yurong could be a chess piece placed beside the emperor. Anyway, Emperor Hong Xiao loved Shen Yurong, and now this idea had to be dismissed. After this kind of thing happened, Shen Yurong's official way didn't know whether he could continue to go down, let alone as before, which was valued by Emperor Hong Xiao, so don't even think about it.

Jiang Li is in the Jiang family. Did tong'er know this? It was Jiang Yuanbai who told her. That day, Princess Yongning and Li Xian had a big fight in the Jinluan hall. After going down, Jiang Yuanbai returned to the house. The first thing was to call Jiang Li to the study and tell Jiang Li exactly what happened in the Jinluan hall. Finally, Jiang Yuanbai asked Jiang Li whether she had known the relationship between Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong long ago, and even whether Jiang Li had known that Princess Yongning was pregnant before she married the Li family.

Jiang Li naturally denied it and prevaricated with what she had prepared before taking it. Although Jiang Yuanbai was still skeptical, Jiang Li didn't care. This matter was a secret between her and the government. Even if Jiang Yuanbai checked it again, he couldn't find anything.

Tong'er asked, "girl, did Princess Yongning really have an affair with Lord Shen?"

Jiang Li said, "yes."

Tong'er angrily said, "it's really shameless. He married someone else with his body in his arms, but Li Xian of the Li family is not a good thing. It's said outside that Li Xian looked for those beautiful orphans everywhere to find them back to the Li family and do... In short, how can they get away from each other? It should be harmful to each other."

Jiang Li smiled, "how can Shen Yurong be involved in discord?"

"Yes, and Shen Yurong." Tong'er said, "what I said before is affectionate. Others scolded his wife bloody, but I don't know that while he was doing affectionate looks, he was having an affair with Princess Yongning. I bah."

Jiang Li smiled, "you also know the word fishing for fame."

"Of course." Tong'er tidied up his clothes while saying to himself, "but I don't know what deep hatred Li Xian and Princess Yongning have. They have to expose each other in the Jinluan hall. If it weren't for their own words, people wouldn't know those ugly things they did in their whole life."

Jiang Li smiled. The contradiction between Li Xian and Princess Yongning naturally lies in the nonexistent "child". In the eyes of Princess Yongning, nothing is more important than her and shenyurong's children. For the sake of this child, she forced herself to marry the Li family and learned that Li Xian had harmed her child. Princess Yongning could never let Li Xian go. She happened to know Li Xian's secret again, and she was going to make Li Xian's secret public.

But even Jiang Li didn't expect that Princess Yongning would directly break into the Jinluan hall. About in the past life, Princess Yongning was really used to plain sailing. She thought that the Li family didn't grasp her handle, so she couldn't say how bitter it was to eat Coptis. Where do you know that the Li family is a provincial lamp, and they are bound to retaliate. And the secrets that the Li family knows are more important.

However, the current situation of losing both sides is exactly what Jiang Li is happy to see.

Snow White asked, "but the Emperor didn't attack Li Xian, nor did he attack Shen Zhuangyuan. What else can they do except to damage their reputation?"

"It seems so, but I'm afraid the officials of eldest childe Li and Shen Zhuangyuan can't go on. If I want to persist for no more than three days, I'll take the initiative to resign." Jiang Li said with a smile, "the emperor expected this, so he didn't deal with them."

Needless to say, the censors' impeachment will fly to the emperor's desk like snowflakes. Shen Yurong and Li Xian will soon realize that their positions are over, even if they want to hang on.

In this way, Li Xian, who lost his official position, will hate Princess Yongning more in his heart. No matter how King Cheng pacifies, he is afraid that there will be a rift. Shen Yurong, who has no official position, is just an ordinary white body. The Shen family, with selfishness and blood flowing from their bones, will blame Princess Yongning for all this.

An ordinary Shen Yurong and a notorious Princess Yongning will only have endless trouble and resentment when they stay together. Without Jiang Li's help, they can kill their enthusiasm by themselves, and instead, there is only resentment.

At that time, the case of Xue Fangfei and Xue Zhao will be seen again.

This is her purpose. After planning for a long time, she finally walked to the place with light from the dark and rainy night when she woke up.

……

The news of shenyurong and Princess Yongning spread all over Yanjing City, and naturally also to Ye Jia's ears.

Ye Mingyu and ye Shijie have long known that Xue Huaiyuan's daughter is the wife of Shen Zhuangyuan, but Jiang Li has always shown support for the Xue family. Looking at Xue Huaiyuan, people do not believe that Xue Fangfei is the rumored appearance. I always think Xue Fangfei was afraid of having an affair with others. So the first time this matter came out, ye Shijie and ye Mingyu seemed to have finally found the evidence. Ye Mingyu said, "I've long felt that things were wrong. Now, I'm afraid it's Mrs. Shen's bad reputation that has something to do with the princess laoshizi. I'm afraid they didn't tamper with it."

"Possible." Ye Shijie also sighed, "I have been an official since I joined the court. Seeing that this little Shen has a good reputation, no one said he was not good. No matter he is from the first auxiliary school or the right Prime Minister school, he has never embarrassed him. Although he is also very kind, I always feel that I am not very willing to be close to him. Now I finally know the reason, and it is difficult for him to pretend for so long, but the word affectionate is not suitable for him."

"Yes, that's it. Those officials always say that our business people are smart and powerful. At least I didn't do such hypocritical things. I talked about being filial to my wife and colluding with the princess while having children. I also let people marry others with children. Officialdom is really a mess. Fortunately, my head is not enough and I can't be an official in this life. But listen to me, Shijie, you can't learn these bad habits, ye family You know, there's no such mess. Although your third uncle and I have been among thousands of flowers, I am a leaf. At least I didn't harm any good women. If you are fooling around outside, you will never get out of bed if I don't break your leg! "

What he said was vicious, and ye Shijie had to respond helplessly: "... I know, third uncle."

Ye Shijie glanced at the yard on the other side and asked softly, "uncle, does Mr. Xue know about this?"

"I see," Ye Mingyu said, "that Begonia just went in. Alas, poor, Miss Xue was really killed by that dog man and woman. If I were an old man, I would have to suffer to death."

In the room, Haitang stood beside Xue Huaiyuan. She just learned about Princess Yongning and shenyurong from the outside, and told Xue Huaiyuan carefully. Before that, she also told Xue Huaiyuan about the sneaky behavior of Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong when Xue Fangfei was still there.

Although Jiang Li had long insisted that Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong had an affair, and it was for this reason that they killed Xue Fangfei and made room for Princess Yongning to be Mrs. Shen. But there is no evidence. Now everyone in Yanjing knows that Haitang's heart is also very excited and wants to cry for no reason.

"Master," Haitang whispered, "since their faces have been exposed. Wait a few days, Miss Jiang said that when all the evidence is collected, she can revenge the young lady and the young master."

Xue Huaiyuan listened quietly to Haitang's words. His expression was very calm and calm, but his eyes were very sad, but he tightly suppressed this sadness. He said, "yes, ah Li and ah Zhao have waited for too long. It's my bad father who didn't take good care of them."

"No," said Haitang, "those people are too hateful. Don't blame yourself, master. If the young master and miss are spiritual in heaven, they will be distressed to see you like this."

"Don't worry." Xue Huaiyuan corrected his expression, "I will live well for Ali and Zhao... At least I want to see with my own eyes that Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning get their due punishment."

Haitang nodded.

……

At the end of the romantic case of the Li family, what the people in Yanjing talked about most was not that Li Xian kept the boy, but when Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong were together. Unexpectedly, he had a child and boldly married the right prime minister's house with the child, and Shen Yurong didn't stop him. Although the emperor Hong Xiaodi gave the marriage, the emperor unknowingly gave the marriage. Princess Yongning can still have many solutions, such as not having the child first, or explaining to the emperor, but she finally used this method, which shows that she wants to preserve Shen Yurong.

Because once emperor Hong Xiaodi knew that such a thing happened between his ministers and the current princess, Shen Yurong's official position would certainly be useless. Even now, his position is in jeopardy.

In Shen's house, Shen Ruyun and Shen's mother were both there, and Shen Yurong was sitting in the room. He went to court as usual these two days. The Emperor didn't even express any opinion about him, and Shen Yurong could guess how many impeachments the censor had about him with his eyes closed. Emperor Hong Xiao didn't say anything, and Shen Yurong wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but how could this be possible?

Not to mention those people who looked at his teasing eyes, but also looked down and talked about it as if there was no one else on the way he passed. Even, just ask him, what is it like to be with the princess, and when can I drink his wedding wine with Princess Yongning?

Shen Yurong knew that these people believed that after such a thing happened, Shen Yurong would lose his position sooner or later. For a person who would sooner or later become an ordinary person, he would no longer have to flatter and pretend to be calm. The wall falls, everyone pushes, the tree falls, and the monkeys scatter. In officialdom, this truth comes more profound.

Therefore, in these two days, it takes great courage to go out and return home from home to chaotang and from chaotang to Shenfu. And his courage has been exhausted.

Shen Ruyun saw him coming back and said, "brother, does the emperor have anything to say today?"

Shenyurong said, "No."

Shen Ruyun patted his chest, as if relieved, and said, "OK, OK. I thought that this time, the official position would be lost. It seems that Princess Yongning spoke for you in front of the emperor. This time, it's dangerous."

Shen's mother also said, "that is, you found a chance to meet the princess and comfort her. After this happened, she must be very hurt because she is a woman."

Shen Yurong only felt deeply tired. He really didn't understand that for this reason, Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun still had expectations for Princess Yongning. Don't they understand that after this incident, not only he, but also Li Xian, and even Princess Yongning, may not have a place to turn over.

Emperor Hong Xiaodi didn't say anything, not because he preferred his minister, so he didn't have the heart to punish him even if something like this happened, but because he knew that even if he didn't say anything, Shen Yurong and Li Xian would resign voluntarily.

Yes, he is going to resign voluntarily. He also wanted to have the courage to stay in the court, but these two days, Shen Yurong found it too difficult. If he wanted to live like this day after day, year after year in the future, as long as he was in officialdom for one day, this matter would be repeatedly reminded by people, and even become a reason to attack him. He couldn't live like this.

"Tomorrow I will explain to the emperor that I will resign." Shenyurong said.

"What?" Shen Ruyun and Shen's mother screamed at the same time. Shen's mother stood up, looked at Shen Yurong and said, "what did you just say?"

"I want to resign." Shen Yurong said completely calmly.

"You're crazy," Shen's mother said excitedly, "the Emperor didn't punish you. What do you take the initiative to resign? Now what you need to do is not resign, but to talk to Princess Yongning. Now that she has separated from Li Xian and others know your relationship with her, you can marry her, which is not very good!"

Shenyurong suddenly felt a little funny. If Princess Yongning heard this, she must feel extremely useful. Princess Yongning is bent on marrying the Shen family, and Shen's mother is bent on marrying Princess Yongning into the house. She looks very happy, except for himself.

Although this peach blossom debt was caused by Shen Yurong himself. But now he feels that he can't afford to hide, and he doesn't want this peach blossom debt.

"Brother, you have to think clearly," Shen Ruyun said. "If you resign, all these things will be gone. All your previous efforts have been in vain. What will our Shen family rely on in the future? You can't let your mother do needlework for others! I'm afraid I can't live in Ningyuan Marquis mansion!"

Shenyurong was also a little confused. He was just trying to get ahead. When he entered the officialdom, he rose higher and higher. At this point, all of a sudden, he resigned, everything returned to the original, and nothing was left.

Glory, wealth, and honor all come to naught, and gratitude, resentment, and hatred all come to naught in an instant.

And Xue Fangfei

He thought in a trance.

"Brother, what are you thinking? Don't be stunned and don't talk." Seeing Shen Yurong's silence, Shen Ruyun couldn't help but speak and urge.

At this time, the servant of Shen Fu ran in from the outside, looking hurried. Seeing Shen Yurong, he said, "master, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Shenyurong asked.

"There is a legend outside that Princess Yongning was demoted as a commoner by the Emperor today!"

Demoted to common people? It means that she is no longer a high princess, no different from the common people in the world, and has become the mole ant and common people she most despises.
