Chapter 477: The former prince is good at using people’s hearts
"No, it should be said that Bei Yunting agreed to let me be the executioner." Shen Xiang had a faint smile on his lips, "The person who actually proposed that I be the executioner was Ziruo."
Yi Qianhuan frowned: "Why did the former prince do this? Aren't you his best friend? The former prince should know very well that if you were to supervise the execution in person, you would definitely feel guilty day and night in the future..."
Seeing that Prime Minister Shen was silent and just squinting his eyes at him, Yi Qianhuan suddenly thought of something and suddenly realized, "The former crown prince deliberately wanted to make you feel guilty, so he specially asked you to supervise the execution?"
"That bastard has known me since childhood. He has always used any means to achieve his goals. Even if he died in the end, he still wanted to plot against me." Shen Xiang complained, but there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, only deep nostalgia. "I only found out later that Bei Yunting had already wanted to kill me at that time. One of his goals was to protect me."
Yi Qianhuan clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves: "Indeed, at that time everyone knew that Prime Minister Shen and the former crown prince were good friends. Under such circumstances, the former crown prince was convicted of treason, and you had to personally supervise the execution to make Bei Yunting believe that you really had nothing to do with the former crown prince. If I am not mistaken, the former crown prince's other purpose for doing this was for Chi Lian."
"I just like chatting with smart people like Guo Shen. It doesn't take any effort to talk." Shen Xiang freed a hand and touched his beard. "Parents always think more about their children. In order to save me and Chi Lian that day, he used his death to the extreme. He knows Bei Yunting and me. He knows very well how to eliminate Bei Yunting's vigilance to save me. He also knows very well how to use my guilt to save his son."
After hearing this, Yi Qianhuan couldn't help but sigh that the former prince was indeed an extremely intelligent person.
It can be said that he has taken everyone into account in his plan. He has used everyone, but he has also protected everyone he wants to protect.
He could even use his own death to control other people's minds. As it turned out, even though Prime Minister Shen was plotted against, he still helped the deceased former prince to protect his only child because of his affection for him.
It's such a pity that such a ruthless yet loyal person was murdered.
"If the former crown prince can ascend to the throne smoothly, he will definitely become a wise ruler." Yi Qianhuan said from the bottom of his heart.
"Unfortunately, there are no ifs. I have worked hard all my life just to live up to my conscience. Now Chi Lian has completely grown up. Since he doesn't want to follow the path I have blessed, I will help him." Shen Xiang put the watering can on the ground. "My carriage is waiting outside the door. I am leaving with my wife."
"Prime Minister Shen really understands Chi Lian. You guessed that Chi Lian wanted me to persuade you to leave, so you stayed to tell me this, right?" Yi Qian laughed, "Prime Minister Shen and the former crown prince are indeed good friends, and you are also very good at taking advantage of people's hearts."
She had to admit that after hearing about the former prince's deeds, she admired him even more, and at the same time felt even more distressed about Ji Chilian's experience.
Once a person starts to feel sorry for another person, it is enough to prove that they cannot be easily separated.
"In fact, Prime Minister Shen, you don't have to do this. Even if it's for my dead parents and for our Duke Yi's Mansion, I will get rid of Bei Yunting."
"That's different. Before, you were willing to give everything for the Duke of Yiguo's Mansion, and you would kill Bei Yunting, but you didn't care about Chi Lian's life or death. To put it bluntly, if you wanted to kill Bei Yunting, you might use Chi Lian. But now, the situation is different." Shen Xiang said with a smile.
Yi Qianhuan thought about it and found that his state of mind had indeed changed a lot.
If it were in the past, she would have used Ji Chilian to achieve her goals without hesitation.
But now she is like the former crown prince in the past. Even if she wants to include Ji Chilian in her plan for her own purpose, she will restrain herself and will not harm Ji Chilian's life in any case.
"It is said that parents will consider everything for their children. The same is true for Shen Xiang towards Chi Lian." Yi Qianhuan took a deep breath and bowed to Shen Xiang as a junior. "Farewell, Shen Xiang."
"The national god doesn't need to send any more. Tell Chi Lian that my last gift to him will be delivered to your house soon." Shen Xiang's eyes were deep, staring at Yi Qianhuan: "The emperor only knows Chi Lian's identity, he thinks Chi Lian is still kept in the dark. While the enemy is in the open and you are in the dark, this is your best chance."
"Thank you, Minister Shen, for your advice. I will definitely seize the opportunity."
Yi Qianhuan saw Shen Xiang off.
She returned to the garden along the same route and looked at the watering can that Shen Xiang had placed on the ground before he left. She couldn't help but walk over and pick it up.
While watering the flowers, Yi Qianhuan was daydreaming about his next series of plans. While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the direction of the moon arch in the garden.
"The national god is really in a good mood."
The familiar voice made Yi Qianhuan slightly stunned. She hurriedly looked towards the person who came, and was surprised to see a man in a blue gown standing at the door.
Shen Yaosi's injuries had completely healed. He removed the cumbersome splints and bandages, put one hand behind his back, and stood quietly not far from Yi Qianhuan.
Looking at Shen Yaosi's cold jade-like face, Yi Qianhuan immediately had a bad guess in his mind, "You didn't go with Prime Minister Shen? Do you know that if you stay, it's like seeking death?"
Shen Yaosi looked behind him with a half-smile, and said seriously, "There are two more people in our Shen family who are looking for death like me."
Yi Qianhuan watched as Shen Yanqing and Shen Tianqi appeared behind Shen Yaosi.
"Hey, God of Country, don't have that expression. The three of us brothers are gifts from our father to your fourth brother!" Shen Tianqi smiled naively. The expression that would look silly on other people's faces, but on his face, he looked extremely simple and honest.
"Guess if Chi Lian wants the three of you to be his gifts?" Yi Qianhuan was devastated, "Why don't you just follow your Prime Minister Shen!"
"Because father said that he would keep his word. Since he promised fourth brother that he would leave, he must take mother with him. But father also said that he did not promise fourth brother to take the whole family with him. He also said that his sons have grown up and are old, and he can't control us anymore."
Shen Tianqi said this and laughed, "Speaking of which, where is my fourth brother? This kid has been pretending for so long, I thought he was really alienated from us. I must settle accounts with him today!"
