Chapter 825: Confidant
As Shen Moyun said earlier, on the eighteenth, there will be no banquet in the Shen Mansion at all!
Shen Mu sat on pins and needles all night, life is better than death, where can he take care of this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Subsequently, the news came out from the Shen Mansion that Shen Mu was suffering from a sudden illness and was bedridden.
Justifiably, the feast was canceled!
What no one knew was that Shen Muyun was sitting in the carriage where Shen Moyun entered the palace.
Their carriage was pardoned and went straight to the palace gates.
Outsiders only think that Yunyang County Jun is a proud favor, but they don't know the truth to hide people's eyes.
When she got out of the carriage again, there was an extra chamberlain behind Shen Moyun, who quietly followed her into Cining Palace.
Shen Mu never imagined that the dream he was most looking forward to in his life, that he could kneel at the feet of the Son of Heaven, would come true so soon! At this time, in front of him were the two most honorable people of the Great Zhou Dynasty: the emperor and the queen mother.
But his audience was not because he was promoted to a knight, but because he came to bear the guilt!
Yesterday, Shen Moyun didn't bother talking to him too much, because Shen Mu knew his situation better than anyone else!
He deeply understands that if King Pingnan comes to power in the future, as evidence that he has been cuckolded, not only will his life be difficult to protect, but he is afraid that even Xia Hongsu, who is on the throne, will play with his bones!
He has no other choice, but he still has a favored daughter at the moment. If he had confessed his guilt, he might have been able to be spared.
At this time, he took the initiative to reveal to the emperor the blindness he had suffered for many years. From Xia Hongsian's seduction of herself, to her methods against Qin Lan, to the evil seed in her stomach, the Xia family's deception of herself, and so on......
He burst into tears, completely putting himself in the position of an innocent victim, and the emperor's eyes were cloudy, and he asked several questions one after another, and roughly had his own judgment.
Although Shen Moyun had already explained everything to the emperor about the Shen Mansion over the years yesterday, at this time, looking at such a submissive, weak and useless courtier, who had been deceived by others, the emperor's heart was still extremely disgusted and hateful.
In order to save his life, Shen Mu took the initiative to resign according to Shen Moyun's request. The emperor agreed, and ordered him to resign from his illness on the same day, and hand over the book to be sealed.
The Emperor looked at Shen Moyun with a bottomless but unusually soft gaze.
The latter only nodded firmly, but the emperor sighed imperceptibly.
After Shen Moyun entered the palace yesterday, he waited for an hour to see the Queen Mother.
And after she asked to see the emperor, she was slapped by the queen mother at that time.
Under the watchful eye of the Queen Mother, she naturally saw the emperor.
She talked with the emperor in detail for an hour, and sincerely expressed that the Shen Mansion was willing to repent and rehabilitate and donate all the property and land to the treasury, only asking the emperor to see the innocence of the ignorant people in the Shen Mansion, give the Shen Mansion a chance to start over, leave a way for the Shen family to live, and leave a place where they can thrive.
The queen finally responded, and finally made Shen Moyun feel relieved.
The emperor at that time sighed and helped her up with his own hands, but there was more admiration for this woman's righteousness in his eyes.
The Emperor withdrew from the crowd and made it clear that if she wished, he could give her a garden for a justifiable reason, and let her leave the Shen Mansion once and for all.
Shen Moyun was a little confused when she heard this, she couldn't tell whether the emperor's words meant to raise her as an outer room, or because of her status as a county monarch, taking into account the royal face after the incident in the future, or whether he didn't care whether the people of the Shen Mansion would become cannon fodder, and would use the Shen Mansion as bait to lure King Pingnan into the bait in the future......
Seeing that her eyes were full of defense, the emperor actually saw her heartiness at a glance, and shouted with a smile:
"Now that you have a complete understanding of the situation in the court, you naturally know that sooner or later I will inevitably fight with the King of Pingnan! Even if I empty the treasury of the Shen Mansion, there are still organs in your Shen Mansion that cannot be opened, and the pearl of the sea of the King of Pingnan and the woman he cares about, the Shen Mansion will become the land of the King of Pingnan sooner or later!
I am naturally sure that the Shen Mansion will not fall into his hands, but the secret arrow is difficult to prevent, and the people's hearts are unpredictable, if there is really a battle, I am afraid that there will inevitably be negligence! If you continue to stay in the mansion, nothing else will happen, in case you are harmed, how can I bear it?
If I really have bad intentions, I should have left you there! First, you can keep an eye on the overall situation for me, and if King Pingnan moves, he will definitely rise from you! Second, if you have a request from me, I can do whatever I want with you, right?"
The emperor's jokes and banter made Shen Moyun ashamed!
Although the emperor's eyes were blazing, they were not mixed with the slightest filth, so that he seemed to be a villain!
Shen Moyun blushed and apologized, but told the emperor to stop.
"You don't have to be restrained, you can be relaxed. You are familiar with the eldest princess, and if you want to enter the palace in the future, you will first go to Changningbo's Mansion to inform you. I will let the queen announce you to the palace, talk to the queen, or relieve your boredom with the virtuous concubine, in short......"
The emperor leaned over and lowered his voice, and the implication was obvious: "Don't send the door to give the queen mother a chance to slap her mouth!
Shen Moyun was startled, thinking that the emperor also had insight into the matter between himself and Cui Yiheng, and immediately looked at the emperor, seeing that he was just staring at his face with concern, thinking that he had already been informed about the fact that he was slapped by him, so he made this remark.
She hurriedly thanked her, but the emperor just laughed, but he was frank:
"I like you! But don't worry! I can see that you have no intention of entering the palace! No matter what, I don't lack women, only confidants, so I will often enter the palace to play chess and tea with me in the future!"
Shen Moyun was overjoyed, the emperor said a word, and since he said this, he would definitely not have the heart to accept her in the future. And the word "confidant" really flattered her!
She didn't dare to refuse, but the emperor raised his hand and stopped her politeness.
"You did a very good job of taking the Pei family this time! I will handle it with the Xia family! Whether it is the matter of the Xia family or the matter of your Shen family, I have to thank you, fortunately your intelligence and carefulness have saved me a lot of trouble in the future, and I can also quietly cut off the hands and feet of King Pingnan! With this, I will also respond to your needs!
The Shen Mansion donated its family wealth before the crisis, and it can be regarded as a credit and demerit! But I still owe you a favor to you! If you want anything in the future, just ask!
But I still say the same thing, for your safety, that Shen Mansion, you'd better not stay......"
But since she had planned to advance and retreat with the Shen Mansion, how could she leave a group of innocent people and others at this moment, so Shen Moyun finally rejected the emperor's kindness.
The emperor's pity was overflowing, but Shen Moyun was grateful and expressed his willingness to be loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty......
