Shen Anyan looked at Qingling with a sad face, and had secretly made up her mind.

But it's one thing to make up your mind, it's another to actually be able to act.

After drinking the decoction sent by Qingling, she only felt groggy and tired, so she just wanted to close her eyes and rest well.

Qingling also saw that her sister was sleepy after drinking the medicine, and it was time to take a good rest, and she was also pulled to say so many things, so she quickly pressed the third girl to tell her not to think too much.

Shen Anyan originally thought that she would listen to Qingling talk about the current situation, but when the effect of the medicine came up, she fell asleep as soon as she dipped her pillow, and naturally she couldn't mention it again.

Although Shen Anyan couldn't deal with the mess at the moment, he could only lie on the bed to recuperate, but Shen Qiyuan couldn't be idle.

He had been waiting for Shen Anyan for a long time, and now that Shen Anyan had woken up, he had to be busy with all these things, so he didn't touch the ground and went back to Wuning Pavilion first.

He saw that Rong Zhi was already in a hurry, and then asked in a low voice, "How is the situation now?" ”

Rong Zhi was in a hurry to get angry, but Shen Qiyuan still looked like the old god was there, and that strange and sourceless calmness made Rong Zhi also settle down, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is in a state of resignation today, so today's matter will not be directly named and reprimanded by the general in the main hall." But now everyone in Kyoto knows about this situation. General, you are angry at the crown and blush, and lead the troops to search Xiangrui Lane. ”

Rong Zhi sighed before continuing: "Although Your Majesty has not summoned you to the palace yet, since the palace door was opened, Your Majesty has already summoned many people into the palace. Now I'm afraid it's just the peace before the storm, and when His Majesty really summons him in, it will be a storm. Do you have any words in mind right now? ”

Shen Qiyuan nodded, almost a little calm: "I thought of it, and I will speak directly to Your Majesty at that time." I don't want to marry Guishuang, I'd rather risk the world's disapproval to go out of the palace wall, send troops, and protect the three girls of the Shen family. Now that I know that I am guilty of a lot of sin, I just ask Your Majesty to see the past feelings, so that I can hang up my crown and not hurt the innocent. ”

Rong Zhi was stunned, looked at Shen Qiyuan's eyes incredulously, stared at it for a long time, and found that there was no joke in it, so he asked in a daze: "General, do you really want to do this?" ”

Shen Qiyuan nodded, without too much attachment and regret: "Your Majesty is afraid of the transfer of troops in Beijing, but it is because I have military power, and I am afraid that I will not be subordinate." I will retire and surrender my military power, and Your Majesty will naturally rest assured. And His Royal Highness Guishan and his relatives, naturally he has to choose someone with the same status, once I lose my official position, I am not worthy of being with the princess of the Otsuki clan. The reasons for this refusal are also complete. There is nothing bad about it, I am satisfied. ”

Rong Zhi sighed, doubting in his heart, he had never found out that his general was such an indifferent person to power.

Maybe you haven't met someone you really cherish, but once you do, you know what you're really chasing.

Shen Qiyuan patted Rong Zhi's shoulder and said lightly, "Are you leaving?" Let's go to His Majesty to plead their case. ”

Rong Zhi nodded, and indeed took the initiative to ask His Majesty to explain, which was far more sincere than His Majesty coming to the door to announce it.

Shen Qiyuan and Rong Zhi entered the palace together, these few times they saw His Majesty, they were all by Guishuang's side, which only made people feel uncomfortable, this time they were able to meet His Majesty alone, Shen Qiyuan finally had a feeling that everything was returning to normal.

His Majesty did not let him hang out, let him taste the taste of being left out of the door, and he felt very grateful. It wasn't until he entered the magnificent palace of diligence that he found that His Majesty's expression was gloomy, far beyond his imagination.

Shen Qiyuan was a little hesitant in his heart, but his face was still calm and calm, and after saluting, he looked at the person sitting on the high dragon chair, only to feel that once the old emperor's expression became gloomy, it greatly reduced his youthful demeanor in the past, as if he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes all of a sudden, and his eyes looking at Shen Qiyuan also looked extremely indifferent.

It was the eyes of the emperor, who seemed to see you, but in fact there was nothing in his eyes.

After Shen Qiyuan pleaded guilty, he made it clear that he only wanted to marry Shen Anyan, and as for Princess Guishuang, he was just a common man after he resigned, and he could not be worthy of the dignity of a princess.

The emperor looked at him in the past as if he couldn't understand why he broke into the palace gate and sent troops privately, just like Rong Zhi, the emperor didn't think that Shen Qiyuan was such an impulsive person. And after listening to Shen Qiyuan's words of pleading, his expression became even more unfathomable, and the emperor obviously didn't expect Shen Qiyuan to have such a plan.

For a man, isn't it the top pursuit to make contributions, protect the family and defend the country, and worship the prime minister? Why did Shen Qiyuan come here, he could give up so easily, with no regrets on his face and no nostalgia in his heart.

The emperor was silent for a long time before he asked Shen Qiyuan: "Is it worth it for a Shen Anyan?" ”

Shen Qiyuan smiled, quite a hearty air: "What's not worth it." Before today, I have been trusted by His Majesty, made meritorious deeds, penetrated into the barren, established a foundation, protected my home, and defended the country. What I have pursued has been obtained, and instead of watching others destroy them and take them away, it is better for me to take them out of my hands. ”

The Emperor nodded, a little appreciative. How many people in ancient and modern times blindly seek to get their hearts, but they don't know how to let go, and finally lead to disasters and destruction. Shen Qiyuan is a rare transparent person.

He actually understood that Shen Qiyuan didn't really have two hearts. The emperor has many eyes and ears, and he actually has a plan in his heart about what happened last night. Although Shen Qiyuan did this recklessly, it can be regarded as maintaining the love in his heart, and he has a little sincerity, although he is sometimes easy to be victimized, but he is also better than having a little popularity.

Now this statement also echoes his insistence on rejecting Guishuang and his relatives in the past, and secondly, it can indeed prove that Shen Qiyuan really cares about this Shen Anyan, and the previous reasons are not false. Third, in fact, it doesn't hurt to resign, as long as the limelight passes, he will naturally be able to recover when he needs to be used.

Even if he resigned, he also seemed more stylish, and it was not a bad thing to come and go.

The emperor felt that this Shen Qiyuan was a smart person, but when he looked at Shen Qiyuan, he felt that he might not have thought about it so much, it was simply due to emotion.

The emperor didn't want to figure out what Shen Qiyuan meant, but since he wanted to return to the office, he also fulfilled his wish.
