(3rd Update!) 444, this chapter has to be marked, haha. ）

After receiving the summons of Emperor Chongde, Shen Du's expression was very calm, and he was not overjoyed to see the holy face.

However, the chamberlain who came to announce the summons congratulated repeatedly: "Congratulations to Young Master Shen, congratulations to Young Master Shen......"

After all, with the current situation of the Shen family, it is a great blessing to be announced to the palace and stated in front of the emperor. - If Young Master Shen copes with it well, maybe the emperor will remember the old feelings, and the Shen family will be able to continue to flourish.

Thinking of this, the waiter's waist bent over, and his smile deepened. They are most accustomed to seeing the wind and making the rudder, and it is always good to have a smile with the Shen family.

Shen Du nodded, indicating that he would inherit the words of the inner attendant, and then quietly followed behind the inner attendant, passed through the Taiping Gate, passed through the palace gate guards, and entered the palace.

Shen Du was originally a member of the Zhongshu House, as a close minister of the emperor, he had entered and exited the palace gate too many times, but he had to follow behind the chamberlain to enter the palace, and it was the first time.

Although his status has changed, everything he sees has not changed.

The central axis avenue leading from the palace gate to the Zichen Palace, there are still tigers guarding on both sides; The palace on the avenue is still majestic and solemn as before, and the master in the palace must be the same as before.

Not to enter the palace as a scholar in the middle school, Shen Du had already been mentally prepared. But this day came sooner than he had expected.

There is preparation, there is a backhand, in the end it was a little hasty, and it was not just right as expected. Because neither he nor Shen Su expected that they would be expected to make an appointment with Jianglou. There will be the participation of the Royal Secret Guard, which will bring many things ahead of schedule.

Thinking of the several royal guards in the Gu family's Bihai Courtyard, Shen Du's heart couldn't help but relax a lot. As long as people are alive, things are not bad.

Now, on the premise of saving his life, he is going to meet Emperor Chongde and keep more of what he cares about. ――Ah Bi and the others have done so much for him, he will never waste these plans and efforts!

Seeing Emperor Chongde, Shen Du saluted as usual. It's as if he's still in the middle of the book.

See Shen Du's performance. Emperor Chongde's heart was somewhat complicated. This young official has good character, ability, and political achievements, and although he has tried and guarded against him many times, how can it not be an affirmation of this young official?

If. It's good that Shen Du is not Shen Su's adopted son. If. It's good that Shen Du is not at odds with the prince. Such an official should be Wang Zuozhicai, a person who can contribute to the strength and peace of the country.

How. How......

"Shen Du, do you know why I passed you into the palace?" Emperor Chongde asked, and his opening remarks were nothing new.

"Back to the emperor, the grass people don't know, please show the emperor." Shen Du bowed and replied, his movements and expressions were not leaking.

Emperor Chongde didn't think that Shen Du could answer, nor did he think that he could see anything from Shen Du's expression. He knew very well that the people taught by Shen Su had another thing to say, but the city government was first-class and deep.

It is of course not easy to make Shen Du tell the truth, but in the eyes of Emperor Chongde, it is not impossible. There are upper and lower levels pressing, there are monarchs and ministers who are humiliated and humbled, no matter how bad it is, he still holds Shen Su's life and honor, and he can always make Shen Du say something useful.

"The abolished prince is shenglie, you always know, right? You know why he was imprisoned in a prison, right? He suggested that he would ask you to accompany him to Fog Ridge before he would tell him where the veins were. What do you say about that? Emperor Chongde asked, not in a hurry.

How so? What can Shen Du say?

Shen Du could only say this: "The grass people and the waste prince have never intersected. During his tenure in the Tiger Army, Caomin participated in the capture of the abolished prince, and also fought with Xisheng Hosaku. But why the abolished prince would ask for this, the grass people really don't know. ”

As he said these words, he recalled the intersection with the waste prince in his mind. Shen Du's first contact with Sheng Lie, of course, was the capture of Sheng Lie by the Tiger Ben Army.

The Tiger Ben Army lost nearly 300 people before they could kill the dead guards around Sheng Lie, and finally captured Sheng Lie, who was seriously injured. This loss was very heavy, and this incident was the same as escorting Meng Yunqing back to his hometown, which made Shen Du remember it deeply.

But that capture just made Shen Du remember it deeply. The last time he thought of Sheng Lie was during the raid two years ago.

After rescuing Ah Bi and the Nine Emperor Princes, Shen Du became interested in the waste prince in the prison. can live safely in the prison for four years, and both countries are helpless to deal with it, this deposed prince's ability is indeed good.

The ruthlessness of the two officials, Shao Lianxin and Feng Lanyan, and the torture of the Dali jailers, Shen Du knew something. The deposed prince not only survived, but also used the secret of his life to gradually improve the situation. -- In recent years, Xisheng's meticulous actions have been reflected in his succession.

He had been observing Sheng Lie in the dark, and he had also carefully observed the jailers in the prison, and finally discovered the way in which the abolished prince communicated with the outside world. In this regard, he has been hiding from it, just to follow the vine to find the location of the Wuling vein.

After such a long period of observation, Shen Du already knows Sheng Lie very well, and he has also analyzed his mentality and personality very thoroughly.

Shen Duyu remembered that he said to Shen Su with great certainty: "Father, Sheng Lie has survived. However, you will also be tired, as long as you make good use of it, it will be the limit in less than a year. ”

No, the one-year period has not yet arrived, and he has not heard any useful clues from Sheng Lie, and something happened to the Shen family.

Therefore, this backhand had to be brought forward. Under such circumstances, Shen Du deliberately guided Xi Sheng's meticulous work and deliberately revealed the situation of the Shen family and himself to Sheng Lie......

What will Sheng Ye, who is tired of and about to reach his limit, do? Shen Du really knew too well, too well that Sheng Lie would be desperate and would seize any slight opportunity to desperately leave this prison where he had been imprisoned for six years!

Shen Du deliberately sent himself to Sheng Lie, and deliberately sent his helpless situation to Sheng Lie, so he didn't believe that Sheng Lie would not be moved.

Sheng Lie needs Shen Du to help him leave, and Shen Du also needs Sheng Lie's help to help solve the Shen family's current predicament.

Ah Bi, Changyin and others poured out half of their efforts to influence Emperor Chongde, but it was still not enough, it was still a little bit worse. Sheng Lie is the little bit that Shen Du selected.

Whether it is Sheng Lie who can save his life or the Shen family who can get out of trouble, in the final analysis, it is still those Wuling veins, or Emperor Chongde's heart for the veins!

This is Shen Du's condition, and it is also Shen Du's back hand. For the emperor, it is clear whether it is important to dispose of the Shen family or the Wuling vein.
