Chapter 365: Her Family Affairs
The emperor took the booklet, and recorded the movements of the Shen family in every detail for half a day.
The mansion where Shen Chong lives now was given by the emperor, and the people who served in it, except for those sent by King Yi, were all specially arranged by the emperor.
Therefore, except for the four members of the Shen family behind closed doors, their every move in this mansion is under the supervision of the emperor.
The Emperor's gaze, skimming over the inconsequential information, fell on Mrs. Chiang's actions.
"Shen Chong entered Beijing on the front foot, and he was going to choose a son-in-law for his daughter on the second day?" The Emperor asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes." The secret guard replied: "Mrs. Jiang met with the official media early in the morning, hoping to choose a county horse for the lord of Anding County in the capital. ”
"It seems that the Shen family is nothing more than that." The emperor smiled and said: "Now in this capital, who doesn't know that my son has a deep love for his daughter Shen Chong, and who dares to marry Shen Shu as a daughter-in-law."
He tossed the booklet back into the guard's hand and sneered, "It's just for show." ”
The secret guard lowered his body and said stubbornly: "Mrs. Jiang asked the official media to find ...... Son-in-law. ”
The smile on the corner of the emperor's lips condensed slightly.
Secret guard: "Mrs. Jiang said that she wants to find a child of a poor family or an heir of the Xinglin family, as long as she has good character and matches, she can get married on a certain day." Mrs. Jiang also said that if the county lord gave birth to a son after marriage, he would have the surname Bai to continue the incense for the Bai family. ”
The emperor's face sank.
With the current situation and Shen Shu's current status, ordinary noble children will never want to be burned, and they will never dare to ask for marriage.
But for those who are hungry for power or medical skills, the family of Xinglin is a different matter.
Sending an heir to the county lord's mansion and giving birth to a son surnamed Bai is equivalent to inheriting the blood and medical skills of the Bai family.
This is an opportunity to leap into the gate.
What's more, being rich is different from asking for marriage, it does not disobey his intention to be an emperor, and it is not a robbery with King Yi, but it is really a sure profit.
The Shen family walked out of this move, as long as they really decided on family affairs, they could easily solve the current situation and take the Shen family out.
The emperor's expression did not distinguish between joy and anger, and after a long time, he ordered: "Send this booklet to the palace of King Yi." ”

Shen Mansion.
Shen Shu received the news brought back by Liu Xing, it was already late at night.
Although there are many eyes and ears in the Shen Mansion, Liu Xing has the true inheritance of the first emperor Shadow Guard Liu Yu after all, and entering and leaving the Shen Mansion is like entering a no-man's land.
In addition, he was clean again, so it was convenient to deliver news to Chu Yi and Shen Shu in the dead of night.
Shen Shu looked at the secret report in his hand, which recorded the movements of Renshou Palace today.
She asked suspiciously: "How could Xiao Qingchu appear in Renshou Palace, could it be that she was not punished today?"
"The villain went to the execution ground to inspect it, and there were more than 100 members of the Chengen Mansion, all of whom were verified to be executed, and the county lord of Qingchu was the culprit...... The punishment of car splitting will never be fake. Liu Xing said firmly.
"The punishment of car splitting?"
Shen Shu shuddered.
Although Xiao Qingchu almost poisoned the emperor this time, judging from her reaction that night and her later testimony to Twilight, Xiao Qingchu was deceived by the crown prince to do so.
Xiao Qingchu was raised as a crown princess since she was a child, and was deeply favored by the queen mother, emperor and empress.
Now, the emperor not only let her take the name of the culprit, but also took the blame for the crown prince-
also completely disregarded the past feelings, so that Xiao Qingchu was about to suffer the punishment of car splitting when he died......
I don't know if the emperor hates Xiao Qingchu, or the ...... behind Xiao Qingchu
"Xiao Qingchu died so miserably, could it be that she really turned into a ghost and went to find the Queen Mother?" Shen Shu said strangely: "Even if you want to find it, you should be looking for the prince." ”
"If there were really unjust souls in this world, the unjust souls of the first emperor would have already gone to the Queen Mother to ask for their lives." Speaking of the first emperor, Liu Xing's eyes flashed with a fierce color.
Immediately, he gathered his mind: "There are many people who are good at disguise in the shadow guards around the emperor, it should be a scene in which the shadow guards pretend to be Xiao Qingchu." ”
As he spoke, he relayed what "Xiao Qingchu" said to Shen Shu.
Shen Shu heard this, and a little chill rose in her heart.
The emperor ordered someone to pretend to be Xiao Qingchu and "say goodbye" to the Queen Mother.
It sounded like he was comforting the Queen Mother.
But Shen Shu understands that this is "relief", and it is simply a punishment!
Xiao Qingchu is the Queen Mother's favorite granddaughter, and the Queen Mother's only person who has high hopes in the Xiao family.
Ying Wei pretended to be Xiao Qingchu, "said goodbye" to the Queen Mother, aroused the Queen Mother's love, and then let the Queen Mother know that Siren had passed away tragically......
For the Queen Mother, this is a heart-wrenching experience.
Killing people is not too much, and it is heart-wrenching...... But it can make life worse than death.
Liu Xing saw that Shen Shu guessed the emperor's intentions, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is old, if she sees the people of the Chengen Mansion being punished, she will not be able to withstand the blow, and she may die." The emperor used this method to not only save the life of the queen mother, but also make the queen mother suffer heartbreaking, thinking that the emperor should hate the queen mother very much. ”
Shen Shu froze: "The emperor is still like this to the queen mother, and he must not let go of the prince easily, is there any movement on the emperor's side?" ”
Liu Xing's eyebrows drooped slightly: "The emperor is in the imperial mausoleum, and he has not embarrassed the prince." When the prince first got the news of the Chengen Mansion, he wanted to kill himself in the courtyard, but was stopped by the secret guards sent by the emperor. ”
A look of surprise flashed in Shen Shu's eyes.
After the emperor woke up, his tolerant behavior towards the crown prince was completely unexpected by her.
Even though the emperor left the crown prince alive, most of them wanted to use it to contain King Yi.
But such a tolerant ...... Compared with the emperor's attitude towards the Queen Mother, it is really hard to guess.
Liu Xing didn't say much, took out the booklet that Chu Yi handed him from his sleeve, and presented it to Shen Shu: "This is what the emperor ordered someone to hand over to His Royal Highness King Yi at dusk. His Royal Highness asked the villain to show you, and he said that how the emperor treats the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince is not a matter of importance. Right now, it's your relationship with him that matters most. ”
Shen Shu: ???
She took the booklet in confusion, read the contents of the book at a glance, and her face changed greatly.
At this moment, Shen Shu understood why Mrs. Jiang detained her in the courtyard under various pretexts for a whole day and did not let her go out.
She never expected that her own father and mother came up with a coping strategy - to secretly marry her!
"I'm going to find Daddy and Auntie......"
Shen Shu closed the booklet and was about to go out angrily-
But Liu Xing stretched out his hand to stop him: "Girl, don't worry." ”
Liu Xing hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Yi asked the villain to hand over the booklet to the girl, to remind the girl that this house is full of the emperor's eyeliner, please be vigilant about everything......"
"As for ...... Mrs. Jiang planned something, His Royal Highness said that he had a way to deal with it, and His Royal Highness told the girl not to worry, let alone act rashly, so as not to ruin his plan. ”
Shen Shu: "He was grounded by the emperor's order, what else can he do?" ”
"The villain doesn't know." Liu Xing said truthfully: "However, His Highness said that it will only be three days before the matter will be clarified." ”
"Just three days?" Shen Shu asked in surprise.
Liu Xing nodded.
"Okay." Shen Shu simply responded: "You help me tell King Yi that if his method doesn't work after three days, then I'll use my method." ”
