Chapter 838 9 Princes
Wang Xi looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears, and he regretted his decision.
"My lord, I am wise. I really know I was wrong. I beg you to save my life. I will never forget your kindness..." Wang Xi cried.
In recent years, he has been a favorite in front of His Majesty. Not only is he highly sought after, but he also lives a pretty good life.
Once you become a prisoner, you can imagine the difference.
Shen Shuyi said calmly: "But as the saying goes, great kindness can be like great hatred. How can Eunuch Wang let me trust you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xi knew there was something going on. He was smart enough not to ask about the relationship between Shen Shuyi and Tong Guan. He only knew that Tong Guan was a young boy with a cruel heart and a few words.
In recent days, he has almost lost a layer of skin.
"Don't worry, Princess. As long as you can save my life, I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future. My life will belong to you from now on." Wang Xi was afraid of missing this opportunity.
But at the moment, he really couldn't think of anything about himself that was worth Shen Shuyi saving.
Shen Shuyi sat on the chair and said calmly, "It seems that Master Tong still showed mercy to Eunuch Wang. Otherwise, after entering this prison, how could he speak so many words with such vigor like Eunuch Wang? What do you think?"
Wang Xi thought for a moment and said immediately, "Yes, yes, thanks to Master Tong for showing mercy and taking good care of me, otherwise I would have lost my life here long ago."
Shen Shuyi chuckled: "Okay, I won't beat around the bush with you. I can rescue you and save your life, but now you have to answer whatever I ask."
"Yes! Don't worry, Princess. I will tell you everything I know!" Wang Xi, whose body was covered in blood, had bright eyes.
"During the Wen'an Rebellion, was the Ninth Prince lost during the coup or after the coup?" Shen Shuyi spoke slowly.
Wang Xi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that what Shen Shuyi asked would be related to the Ninth Prince who had long since lost his way.
"I dare not hide the truth from you, Princess. The Ninth Prince...seems to have died in the Wen'an Rebellion. How can he be lost?" Wang Xi spoke carefully, not knowing what Shen Shuyi wanted to ask.
Shen Shuyi looked slightly disappointed, and then said, "In that case, you should tell me all the news you know about the Ninth Prince."
Wang Xi was silent for a while, as if he was struggling.
Shen Shuyi sneered and said, "It seems that Eunuch Wang doesn't care about his own life or death. In this case, Tong Guan, there is no need to show mercy."
"Princess, spare my life! I will tell you, I will tell you right now!"
Seeing Shen Shuyi was about to leave, Wang Xi became a little anxious.
Shen Shuyi looked at him with deep eyes: "Eunuch Wang may not know my temper very well. I only give you one chance."
Wang Xi's forehead was covered with sweat, and he immediately said, "Come to think of it... there was actually a misunderstanding about this matter."
During the Wen'an Rebellion, the Ninth Prince was only full-term. When the rebels attacked the city, the traitors directly broke into the palace. His Majesty sent people to try to send the young princes to various places to prevent them from encountering any accidents.
At that time, the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince were among them.
However, when the Ninth Prince was about to leave the palace, he encountered rebels. A fierce battle broke out between the imperial guards and the rebels, and it was rumored that the Ninth Prince died there.
And at that time, there was indeed a baby who died there wearing a jade pendant that symbolized the prince's status.
Therefore, after the Wen'an Rebellion ended, many people thought that the ninth prince was dead. It was not until four years later that Emperor Qianwu met a boy in the harem. The boy was a little thin and dressed simply, but he looked like he had been carefully brought up.
He asked his name, but the boy avoided answering and instead took advantage of the chaos to escape.
It was not until Emperor Qianwu ordered a thorough investigation that they found out that the boy was actually the ninth prince who was thought to be dead.
It turned out that after Yin Qiling had a relationship with Emperor Qianwu due to Concubine Rou's scheme, although she was taken into the harem, she still loved the second prince Xiao Huaijin. Therefore, although she grew up with Emperor Qianwu, she was not close to him.
Even after Xiao Huaijin was placed under house arrest by Emperor Qianwu, Yin Qiling became extremely disgusted with Emperor Qianwu, so she refused to see him several times.
In addition, Yin Qiling does not want either a name or a position in the palace. The servants in the palace may serve such a person carefully at the beginning, but as time goes by, they will inevitably change their minds and ignore her.
Therefore, Yin Qiling's life in the palace was not easy, but fortunately, the Yin family was a noble family, and she had no shortage of money.
However, since he doesn't want to compete for favor or get involved in disputes, he can only keep a low profile.
So, she raised the Ninth Prince alone until a year after Emperor Qianwu ascended the throne, when Xiao Huaijin fell seriously ill and died. Yin Qiling also completely lost hope in him, became depressed, and her health deteriorated day by day.
By the time the Ninth Prince was four years old, Yin Qiling's body had already become like a spent bow.
This led to the situation later when the Ninth Prince met Emperor Qianwu in the palace but they did not recognize each other.
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but sigh, but he was puzzled and asked: "If that's the case, then who was the baby boy who died in the Wen'an Rebellion?"
Wang Xi let out a sigh of relief and whispered, "I'm not sure either, I just heard that..."
I heard that the dead baby boy was actually the son of Yin Qiling's brother. Xiao Huaijin had just died at that time, and Yin Qiling wanted the Ninth Prince to leave the palace and marry into Xiao Huaijin's branch to continue his bloodline.
But at that time, Xiao Huaijin was disliked by His Majesty, so how could the Yin family agree?
Therefore, Yin Qiling's second brother tried his best to stop it.
But Yin Qiling was good at martial arts, and was also a good decision-maker, so she had already arranged people and planned to send the Ninth Prince out of the palace.
At that time, Emperor Qianwu sent someone to escort the Ninth Prince out of the palace. However, Yin Qiling did not trust Emperor Qianwu, so the guards who came were unable to see the Ninth Prince. As a result, the Yin family could not explain to Emperor Qianwu.
At that time, because the palace banquet had just ended, Yin's second brother and second sister-in-law were both there, and they brought their six-month-old son with them.
In desperation, the second elder brother of the Yin family sent people to look for the ninth prince, while handing his own son over to the guards sent by Emperor Qianwu.
After all, the rebels were so powerful at the time that they could not escape, but they also hoped that their son could survive.
Therefore, the second elder brother of the Yin family replaced the ninth prince with his own son, firstly to prevent Emperor Qianwu from discovering Yin Qiling's thoughts, and secondly in the hope that his son could escape from the palace.
Unexpectedly, fate played a trick on us.
Before the guard could escape from the palace with the son of Yin's second brother, they were stopped by the rebels and died tragically.
As for the real Ninth Prince, he was also unable to escape from the palace.
Although Yin Qiling's arrangements were thorough, it was too late. The people she sent out took her son and fled to the palace gate, but several palace gates had already been replaced by rebel guards. In desperation, those confidants had to return to the palace.
