Chapter 156 When necessary, protect Sheng An and abandon the prince!

The two sides seemed to be inexplicably playing a game where "whoever speaks first loses".
Yun Chuhuan's confused eyes were about to spark between the two of them, and Emperor Xuanwu, who was sitting firmly in front of the dragon table, finally spoke slowly:

"You just said that apart from Lao Liu and your secret guards, no one else knew that the maid had left a message for you?"

"Yes."

Yun Shu raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Xuanwu, and couldn't help but secretly guess what the other party's purpose was in asking this question.

The next moment, she heard Emperor Xuanwu call Yun Chuhuan again:
"Old Six,"

"Son, I'm here!"

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or I will not only fine you 10,000 taels of gold, but also punish you with a stick! Do you understand?"

When he said this, his expression was serious and his tone was earnest, and it was obvious that he was not joking.

Yun Chuhuan was startled and nodded quickly:
"I understand. I promise I won't tell anyone who asks, not even my mother!"

Ten thousand taels of gold!
If he were really punished by his father, he would probably never see a penny again in his life!
Yun Chuhuan stretched out his hand and made a sewing gesture on his mouth to show his determination.

Emperor Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this:

"In that case, let's just pretend that this incident never happened."

"What do you mean it never happened?"

Yun Chuhuan, who had just kept silent for less than two seconds, couldn't help it again:
"Father, are you going to allow the Crown Prince to frame my fifth sister?"

"No, I want you, Fifth Sister, to figure out how to deal with it yourself."

Emperor Xuanwu looked deeply at Yunshu:

"How will the prince deal with you and how should you respond? These are all issues you need to think about.

I allow you to use all means to protect yourself."

"...all means?"

She never expected that she would get such an answer when she came here to complain.
Yun Shu was surprised and couldn't help but probe:
"What if I accidentally hurt my brother, the Crown Prince..."

"I said, all means are acceptable."

He repeated the four most important words word by word. Emperor Xuanwu showed no emotion on his face, but he leaned forward slightly:

"It's up to you."

Yun Shu: “…”

Isn't it said that what she, as a father, hates to see most is her children fighting with each other?

What on earth does he mean now?

No wonder people say that the emperor's mind is hard to predict. Every time before, they were just children fighting and quarreling, and she didn't understand this. She thought she was lucky to meet such an open-minded father.

But if you think about it carefully, you will know that this person is the champion of the previous session!

The late emperor had many sons, more than a dozen of them, but in the end only this one managed to break through the siege. How could his mind be simple?
She left the imperial study with a heavy heart. Various speculations went around in Yunshu's mind, but in the end, she rejected them one by one.

Forget it. Thinking too much can give you a headache. Just take it one step at a time and do your best to protect yourself.

If something really goes wrong, the worst that can happen is that my father can exile her to Qiongzhou!
People of this era think Qiongzhou is remote and poor, but she doesn't mind!
Yun Shu, who was confident with the cheat in hand, quickly put aside all distracting thoughts and his steps gradually became lighter.

She had no idea that after she and Yun Chuhuan left, Emperor Xuanwu sat like a statue behind the dragon table in the imperial study, without making any movement for a long time.

In fact, from the moment he decided to promote Shen Jingshu from the prince's concubine to the principal wife, he was already planning to depose the prince in a few months.

The results given by the life choice simulation system will not be wrong.
Although the process changed a lot, Shen Jingshu still became pregnant with the disabled child who would lead to the dethronement of the crown prince in the future.

This is the prince's own fault.
He had already given the prince a chance, but instead of repenting, he became even worse...

Being deposed was the prince's own fault.

Emperor Xuanwu was an emperor after all. He could be soft-hearted once or twice, but he could not be soft-hearted all the time.

After all, with the prince's character, if he really becomes the emperor, the Yun family's kingdom will be over sooner or later!

However, over the years, most of his efforts have been devoted to the prince.

Now he has to change a child, and for a moment he really doesn’t know who is the most suitable one.

The eldest is only suitable to be a military commander, the third is a playboy known to the world, and the fourth is completely stubborn.

Xiao Wu is innocent, straightforward and intelligent, but she needs her father, the emperor, to seduce her to become the president of the Chamber of Commerce. She is lazy all day long and seems more suitable to be an idle princess.

As for the sixth brother, let’s not mention him.

He had been worrying about this problem before the fourth brother came in and fearlessly said that the prince's behavior was against etiquette and laws, and that he was not a wise ruler to reward him instead of punishing him.

It was not until Xiaowu and Laoliu came in to complain to him, saying that the prince still wanted to deal with her, that Emperor Xuanwu suddenly figured something out.

It turns out that the prince and the queen have long realized that the real threat to the prince's position is
It’s not the eldest brother, but the fifth.

Even though they looked down on Princess Xiaowu's status and the power of her maternal family,

But the abilities of just these five little people are enough to make the Queen and the Crown Prince feel like they are facing a formidable enemy!

What does it matter if one is naive and straightforward and not good at government affairs?
Anyway, he is not very old, and Xiaowu is only thirteen. There is still a lot of time, so he can just learn slowly.

As for laziness...

This isn’t a problem that cannot be completely fixed.

Emperor Xuanwu had an idea in his mind, but as it concerned the future of Tiansheng, the issue of establishing a crown prince had to be handled with caution.

So the prince's intention to take action against Xiaowu became a test for Xiaowu.

If she could really handle this matter well, he would naturally be able to start teaching her how to be a princess with more confidence.
But if it is not handled properly,
hiss……

Xiaowu is still young, and he doesn't have as much power as the Crown Prince. What if that bastard of a Crown Prince kills him...

knock knock knock.

The middle and ring fingers of his right hand were slightly bent, and the phalanges were tapped three times on the table in a very regular pattern.
A black shadow flashed by in my peripheral vision, and the next second, a masked man in black was kneeling on the open ground in front of me.

"Send two people to follow the prince and keep a close eye on his every move, especially anything related to Princess Saint Ann.
When necessary, all necessary measures can be taken to protect the safety of the saint."

When necessary, protect Princess Saint Ann, which means that Princess Saint Ann is the most important. In order to protect her, even the prince can be abandoned!
The meaning of Emperor Xuanwu's words was obvious. If anyone else heard it, they would not be able to remain calm.

But the Dragon Shadow Guard only obeyed the emperor's orders and didn't ask about anything else.

Even after hearing such an order, he simply lowered his head and responded:
"Yes!"
