Chapter 721 Conditions
Xiao Tingshan looked normal, as if if he said anything more, Xie Jingchi would be bullying him.
Xie Jingchi looked at Shen Shuyi: "Send someone to call me if you need anything."
"Okay." Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then agreed with a smile.
Xiao Tingshan felt indescribably irritated when watching this scene. He really didn't know what was so good about Xie Jingchi. His Majesty valued him, Princess Hanyang liked him, and now even Shen Shuyi looked at him differently.
Xiao Tingshan has always claimed that he has bad luck, but he does not think that he is worse than others.
After Xie Jingchi left, Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on Xiao Tingshan in front of him.
She thought he was so powerful and invincible, but it turned out that without her planning, he was just so-so.
"Miss Shen, can you please lend me a hand to talk?"
Shen Shuyi looked at him coldly: "I don't know what I can say to the prince."
Xiao Tingshan looked directly at Shen Shuyi and said, "I asked Your Majesty to grant me and the princess a marriage in the palace. It was from my heart."
Shen Shuyi just thought it was ridiculous: "Sincerity? What the prince means by sincerity is that you disregard my wishes and rashly ask for my hand in marriage?"
"If it weren't for your majesty's insight, others might think that there was something going on between me and the prince."
"Or is it that the prince's so-called sincerity means that when His Majesty has already arranged for me to marry someone else, the prince once again expressed his feelings? It's really troubling?"
Shen Shuyi just found it ridiculous. In his past life and this life, Xiao Tingshan's methods were exactly the same.
"I know the princess doesn't believe it, but I have been having frequent dreams recently, and they are always related to the princess. Can the princess lend me a word?" Seeing that many people were looking in this direction, Xiao Tingshan spoke again with a sincere look.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
Dream?
Xiao Tingshan always dreams of her?
This is really interesting.
Seeing that Shen Shuyi agreed, Xiao Tingshan led the way. The two of them went around the stream and into a bamboo forest.
Shen Shuyi stared at Xiao Tingshan's back, a cold light flashing in his almond-shaped eyes.
After a while, Xiao Tingshan stopped and said to Shen Shuyi, "There should be no one here, but we can still hear the noise of stringed instruments. If the princess is worried about Song, others will definitely hear her screaming here."
Shen Shuyi sneered: "I'm not worried about the prince. With his physique, I'm afraid he doesn't have that ability."
Xiao Tingshan laughed bitterly: "The princess really has a deep prejudice against me."
"I really do want to marry the princess sincerely. These days, Song has had nightmares all the time, and they are always related to the princess. It's ridiculous that I dreamed that I married the princess and that we were on the rise... You and I are husband and wife, working hand in hand, advancing and retreating together, and we are deeply in love."
After saying this, Xiao Tingshan kept looking at Shen Shuyi's expression, as if trying to get a glimpse of something from her reaction.
Shen Shuyi sneered. Xiao Tingshan must have dreamed about his past life, so he suspected her and came to test her.
In fact, Shen Shuyi's guess was correct. Xiao Tingshan did have some doubts. After all, according to his investigation, although Shen Shuyi was not submissive in the Jade Buddha Temple before, he was always unwilling to cause trouble and instead thought about maintaining peace.
But later, she suddenly changed her personality, became ruthless and calculating, which was really unreasonable.
Moreover, her hostility towards me was too inexplicable...
Shen Shuyi pulled the corner of his lip: "How dare you have such a big face, my prince, to dream like this? I wonder if I report this to the Empress Dowager, will she think you are deliberately blasphemous!"
Xiao Tingshan stared at Shen Shuyi, unable to see anything from her expression, and inevitably felt a little disappointed.
But what he said was not made up, but true.
The dream came back over and over again, and it seemed so real that it had existed before.
"My Lady, everything I said is true, and I have a sincere heart for you, as the sun and the moon can attest."
As soon as Xiao Tingshan finished speaking, Jinzhu and Yuping couldn't help laughing.
Songbai was so angry that he shouted, "What are you laughing at?"
"Prince Xiao is so hypocritical that he doesn't know how to make his lies convincing. Everyone knows that Prince Chengguo first had a concubine and then a wife, and he has a sickly body but enjoys the happiness of having many wives. Now he actually says that he is sincere to our princess? Listen to me, do you believe it yourself?"
Jinzhu retorted, not afraid at all.
Songbai was speechless after being rebuked: "That... that's because our young master has noble character and is a gentleman, so people admire him."
"Oh, according to what you said, anyone who loves your prince will be married to him in the backyard. Your prince is really kind!" Jinzhu sneered.
Songbai wanted to say something else but was stopped by Xiao Tingshan.
Xiao Tingshan looked directly at Shen Shuyi and said again: "In addition to this, I also dreamed of many scenes in my dream. I was highly valued and rose to prominence. I wonder if the princess knows the reason."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Perhaps what the prince thinks about during the day will appear in his dreams at night."
After trying several times, Xiao Tingshan failed to find out anything. He was about to speak again and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sir!" Songbai said hurriedly, "I'll help you to rest."
Xiao Tingshan shook his head, wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "May I ask, Princess, did Mr. Liancheng's last consultation produce any results?"
Shen Shuyi nodded: "Yes, it can be cured, but the conditions are harsh, it is difficult, and it will take several years."
Even so, Xiao Tingshan's eyes were still much brighter.
He has waited for so many years, what's the harm in waiting a few more years?
But, Shen Shuyi needs to nod first.
"Princess, what does it take for you to agree?" Xiao Tingshan asked again.
Shen Shu thought for a moment, looked directly at Xiao Tingshan and said, "Prince, do three things for me."
"Please speak, Princess." Xiao Tingshan listened attentively.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Many officials in the capital city bribed and accepted bribes in the form of real and fake calligraphy and paintings. The real works obtained were auctioned at the Jinglou. I'm sure the prince must have heard about this."
Xiao Tingshan didn't say anything, but he was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Shen Shuyi would focus on this matter again.
"I would like to ask the prince to help me find out the person behind Jinglou and get the list of officials in the capital who have given and accepted bribes." Shen Shuyi spoke directly.
"The princess's heart to help the world is truly admirable. Song has no choice but to take on this responsibility. However, this matter is complicated and requires further investigation..."
"No matter how long it takes you, I can wait. It depends on whether the prince's body can wait. But if I investigate it myself, then the prince will be of no use to me." Shen Shuyi said in a cold voice, not wanting to waste time talking to him at all.
Xiao Tingshan's eyes darkened. This matter was easy to investigate, but it was not easy to get evidence.
This move implicates many officials in the capital. If he really wants to investigate, he will probably be hated by others and will have no place to stand in the capital.
"What about the other two?" Xiao Tingshan asked.
"Kill the Wenren Sect." Shen Shuyi looked directly at Xiao Tingshan and raised the corners of his lips.
Xiao Tingshan's face was gloomy. No matter how hypocritical he was, he couldn't maintain it at this moment.
After all, Shen Shuyi made no secret of his intentions.
