"Whatever happens, face it together."

This is Chu Yi's request, and it is his promise.

Shen Shu and Chu Yi looked at each other, and in his deep phoenix eyes, they saw undoubted firmness and depth.

So far, the two of them have passed too many life and death hurdles along the way, and every time, the person in front of them will protect her behind him, and he has never hesitated.

However, now, her blood is the only antidote to the emperor, and she is the emperor's "lifeline".

After the matter of the crown prince, I am afraid that even if Chu Yi becomes the candidate for the prince, the emperor may not be willing to hand over the "life gate" to him.

This is also the reason why the emperor "intentionally" wants to accept her as a righteous daughter.

In such a situation, Chu Yi still insisted on tying up with her-

It will only make his situation extremely delicate and difficult.

This is not what Shen Shu wants to see.

King Yi, the god of war of the Great Zhou Dynasty, should not be tied by the love of his children, let alone be suspicious of the emperor because of her.

Shen Shu's heart slowly tightened.

She lowered her head, withdrew from Chu Yi's arms with a little force, and forced herself to say in a calm and restrained voice: "Thanks to His Highness's love, I ......"

"Don't be busy answering yet."

Chu Yi cut off her words, took out a brocade bag from his sleeve, and put it in her palm.

"You open it up first and see what it is." Chu Yi said softly.

Shen Shu opened the brocade bag and pulled out a bright yellow scroll from it.

The scroll is embroidered with colorful auspicious clouds and cranes, and there is still broken fire paint on the seal.

"It's ...... The secret purpose? She asked, confused.

Chu Yi bowed his head: "This is the secret decree written by my father before he fell into a coma, giving marriage to you and me." ”

Shen Shu: ???

When she opened the secret decree, she saw that it was indeed written by the emperor himself, giving marriage to the two of them.

"How could it be ......" Shen Shu asked in surprise: "Why did the emperor write such a secret decree before he fell into a coma?" ”

A hint of complexity flashed in Chu Yi's eyes.

"My father gave me this secret decree along with the tiger talisman, and instructed me not to take it out unless I had to...... I think I was worried that someone would be bad for you, so I gave you to marry me. ”

Shen Shu was slightly stunned.

Immediately, she understood.

Yes, if it weren't for her investigation of the Queen Mother's poisoning of the emperor with Buddha beads.

The Queen Mother will not be placed under house arrest by Chu Yi in Renshou Palace.

As the most noble person in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was easy for the Queen Mother to take care of her as a small county lord.

Even if Chu Yi had 800,000 forbidden troops, it would be difficult to interfere in the affairs of the harem.

However, as long as Chu Yi has this secret decree of marriage, in case the Queen Mother attacks her, Chu Yi will have a legitimate and reasonable reason.

At that time, saving her life will be equivalent to saving the emperor's life.

"So...... Before the emperor fell into a coma, he already suspected that the person behind the scenes was related to the queen mother and the crown prince? Shen Shu asked with a complicated expression.

The emperor's handing over the 800,000 forbidden army to Chu Yi instead of the crown prince is already very telling.

Chu Yi looked at Shen Shu and did not answer.

The answer is self-evident.

One is the emperor's biological mother, and the other is the emperor's biological son.

In the end, it was a big gamble on the part of the emperor.

Bet - his birth mother and son will not poison him.

Gambling - even if these two close relatives killed him, Shen Shu could save his life, and Chu Yi would definitely go to the soup for him.

The emperor was quietly strategizing.

Invisibly, Shen Shu and Chu Yi have become pawns in his hands.

Thinking about this, Shen Shu had mixed feelings in her heart.

I don't know if this is a blessing or a misfortune for her and Chu Yi.

Fortunately, they have always been in the same boat with the emperor, and now they have saved the driver, and since then the flowers have bloomed.

And unfortunately...... I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the emperor to agree to their marriage now.

Shen Shu said with difficulty: "Do you know that the news from Kunning Palace came out today......

"You don't joke."

Chu Yi's eyes locked on Shen Shu: "Although I have opened this secret decree, I have never taken it out, because I don't want to force you with the holy decree." Now, I take it out to show my father and the people of the world, no matter what happens, I only recognize this secret decree, and I only recognize you as my wife. ”

These words, which made Shen Shu's words come to his lips, came to an abrupt end.

There was no time when she could see it more clearly than now—

Chu Yi knows everything.

The pros and cons, Chu Yi was more transparent than she thought.

Knowing that in the current situation, insisting on being with her and disobeying the emperor's will will provoke the emperor's suspicion and defense, but he simply ignored it.

In Chu Yi's heart, she is more important than power and the throne.

Shen Shu is not a timid person, but when it comes to this, if she pushes him away from her side again-

Even she doesn't look down on herself.

"If you figured it out......"

Shen Shu grabbed Chu Yi's hand and put the secret decree into his hand, along with her hand, into Chu Yi's palm.

"I promise you." She said word by word: "No matter what happens in the future, I will be with you, in this life and this life, if you don't leave, I won't give up." ”

Her apricot eyes, like water, were as bright and bright as the crescent moon in the sky against the backdrop of the night.

Chu Yi's eyes darkened, and he reached out and hugged Shen Shu into his arms.

His slightly green chin rubbed against her sideburns, and his voice was unprecedentedly pleasant: "Okay, I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to see my father...... Shen Changshi's side, I will pick it up in person, you can recuperate with peace of mind, everything is with me. ”

Shen Shu heard him mention his father Shen Chong, and her little face froze.

"Father's side...... I'll do it anyway. She sneered.

She knows her father's temper best.

Although Daddy is loyal and patriotic-

But as long as it happens to her......

Or do you want to slowly figure it, slowly draw it......

Chu Yijian's eyebrows raised slightly.

Immediately, he thought of something and smiled dumbly: "It's me who is too anxious." It's okay, when I handle the affairs in the palace properly, I will solemnly go to the door to ask Changshi for marriage. ”

Following.

After Shen Shu finished packing up, he was about to go outside the city with his brother Shen Jinming to meet his father Shen Chong, who was about to arrive in Beijing, when he received news brought by Liu Xing from the palace.

"Early this morning, His Royal Highness King Yi entered the palace, I don't know what to say to the emperor, the emperor was furious, took back the tiger talisman in His Royal Highness's hand, and also withdrew the errand of His Royal Highness King Yi's Beiya commanding envoy, and ordered him to think about it behind closed doors, and he was not allowed to enter the palace without a call."

"The emperor also went to Renshou Palace, and after coming out of Renshou Palace, he removed the forbidden army guarded by Renshou Palace, and then issued a holy decree, the crown princess Xiao intended to assassinate the emperor, give death, and more than 100 people in the Chengen Mansion sat together."

"Not only the Cheng'en Mansion, but even the Cheng'en Marquis, was also cut off for the crime of negligence, the queen took off the hairpin to be punished outside the Taiji Palace, and the emperor personally helped the mother back to the palace, saying that the mother was not in good health and needed to recuperate, and replaced the forbidden army outside the Kunning Palace, and ordered no one to disturb."

"The emperor also sent Qin to the imperial tomb to reprimand the prince, saying that he listened to the woman's words and almost made a big mistake, and ordered the prince to guard the tomb for three years to reflect and not take half a step out of the imperial tomb."

After saying this, Liu Xing looked at Shen Shu and said: "There is another sentence, Mr. Twilight asked the slave maid to bring it to the girl, he said that Xiao Qingchu's testimony against the prince has been completely withheld by the emperor, and now Xiao Qingchu has been executed, which means that the emperor wants to leave the prince's life. ”

When Shen Shu heard these news, her heart instantly sank to the bottom.
