Soon, the servant came in with a slender mahogany box.

When the servant walked up to Shen Qing again, Ying Zhan and Shen Qing had already finished playing a game of chess.

Shen Qing took the box in the servant's hand, uncovered the lid on the box, and placed it on the chessboard.

Ying Zhan lowered his eyes and saw that the box contained a sword.

Then, just listening to the sound of "poof", Shen Qing simply knelt down neatly.

He raised the box above his head and said loudly: "This sword was given to the ministers by the emperor with fame and fortune when I made military exploits. Now, I will give this sword back to the emperor......"

Speaking of this, he raised the sword above his head higher, and his voice became more heroic, "If he has a war in the future, the emperor will recall him with this sword!" ”

Ying Zhan's eyes stared at the sword for a long time, as if he remembered something.

Then, he glanced at Shen Qing's whole body up and down, "Mu Guan, you have several old diseases on your body, and now your eye diseases are better, you should take care of your body, as for the war, I will talk about it later." ”

Shen Qing couldn't hear the perfunctory words, the emperor couldn't get rid of it.

He knew that if the emperor didn't let him go to the battlefield again, it must not be because he didn't trust him to give him a literary network

But I felt that he had fought enough, tired enough, and didn't want him to go to war again.

Shen Qing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has never been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he is, he will not be a martial artist in this life." ”

"Moreover, the man's ambition is in all directions, as a general, the mission is to fight on the battlefield, as a courtier, the minister's life is picked up by you, and now you have cured the minister's eye disease and made me reborn."

"If you don't let the minister go to the battlefield, you will cut off the minister's ambition, you just look down on the minister, and feel that the minister has too many old diseases, and he is a waste!"

Hearing this, Ying Zhan smiled.

In the face of Shen Qing's excited words, he listened very well.

On the contrary, it is much better than those traitors who can only flatter themselves.

Ying Zhan pointed his right hand at Shen Qing, who was kneeling in front of him, and counted Shen Qing at Li Zhong on the side.

"You see, after all these years, his stubborn temper has not changed at all, people heard that he was going to the battlefield, it was frightened, he was good, begging to go to the battlefield, but I like his iron bones!"

As he spoke, he withdrew his hand, turned his back behind his back, and looked down at Shen Qing, who was kneeling in front of him.

"A good sentence is that the man is determined in all directions, and his mission is to fight on the battlefield! But there is one thing, Muguan, you are wrong, your life was never given by me, your life was given by yourself. ”

Shen Qing: "But that time on the battlefield, it was you who ......"

"I carried you back to the camp because I fancy your blood and character, and this is to blame on you, otherwise there are so many soldiers, why don't I carry others, I have to carry you?" Ying Zhan directly interrupted Shen Qing's words.

When Shen Qing heard this, his eyes were slightly red, and his tone softened, "Your Majesty, the ministers can still fight." ”

Li Zhong: "......"

Why did he feel that General Shen, whose tone had softened, seemed to be coquettish with the emperor?

"Alright, I know what you want." Ying Zhan frowned, "You don't have to provoke, and you don't have to speak softly in front of me." ”

"You can go on the expedition if you want!" Ying Zhan first agreed to this matter, and then changed his words, "But there is one thing, you have to recuperate for half a year!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Li Zhong.

Li Zhong accepted the sword presented by Shen Qing.

After Shen Qing heard this, his face was overjoyed.

Ying Zhan continued to sit cross-legged and glanced at Shen Qing obliquely, "What's the matter, doesn't Ai Qing still have objections?" ”

"The emperor is sympathetic to the ministers, and the ministers dare not have any more ideas." Shen Qing got up and sat down cross-legged opposite the emperor, "It's just that the minister still has a gift, which is for the concubine." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Shen Qing found that the original atmosphere of harmony between monarchs and ministers was no longer there.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became eerie and eerily quiet.

Shen Qing looked up and saw His Majesty the Emperor with a cold face, and his dark ink pupils staring at him, as if he needed an explanation and explanation.

As a military attaché, Shen Qing has always been more careless.

But at this time, no matter how careless Rao was, he also felt the emperor's displeasure when he met the death gaze from the emperor.

He hurriedly explained: "This, this, this gift is not for the minister, but the minister's wife knows that I entered the palace today, and specially asked the minister to bring it to the concubine." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expression on Ying Zhan's face eased slightly, but it was still a little cold.

Shen Qing continued to explain: "That's the case, my wife has been depressed since she hit me with an eye disease, I can't see with my own eyes, and I haven't been in charge of things in the house, so I think she has a heart disease. ”

"Isn't this a while ago when the Imperial Doctor from the Tilting Medical Pavilion came to my door to treat my eye disease? Two of the imperial doctors checked my wife's pulse by the way, only to find out that my wife had been poisoned. ”

"Speaking of which, this is also a family misfortune." He sighed softly, and didn't elaborate on the ugliness of the family, but said, "Fortunately, my wife's residual poison has been cleared, so I specially asked me to bring a thank you gift to the concubine." ”

"After all, my wife is not very familiar with the concubine, and she can't enter the palace to visit the concubine, and the minister and the concubine are not familiar with each other, so I can only meet the emperor and ask the emperor to bring the thank you gift to the concubine."

Shen Qing just said things roughly.

As for the Hua family's murder of the eldest lady, and the fact that Yin Guiren helped develop poison for the Hua family, he didn't say anything.

If the emperor is not happy, he doesn't even plan to say this.

After all, this is all an ugly thing in his family, he doesn't want to publicize it, and he is not in the mood to listen to him talk about so many parents.

Men, naturally, they all talk about things between men, and there is no need to pull out all the trivial things in a woman's back house.

And he thinks that a man is speaking ill of a woman behind his back, and that woman is still his concubine, which is a very tasteless thing.

In addition, that Yin Guiren is a person in the emperor's harem.

Could it be that he said to the emperor that Yin Guiren is not good?

If the emperor didn't know what kind of person Yin Guiren was, and he was an outsider who knew about it, it wouldn't be a problem.

If the emperor knew, he wouldn't need to say it.

Besides, in case the emperor favors that Yin Guiren, and that Yin Guiren is the daughter of the emperor's life-saving benefactor.

All kinds of things, even if he borrowed a hundred guts, he didn't dare to mix in the emperor's private affairs.

Immediately after, Shen Qing glanced at the servant beside him, and the servant held an enamel jewelry box and handed it to the emperor.

After listening to Shen Qing's explanation, Ying Zhan's complexion recovered.

He didn't ask much, just glanced at the enamel jewelry box in the servant's hand.

The tone was light, "Over the years, you have suffered from eye diseases and old diseases, and you can't take care of yourself, and it is reasonable that you can't take care of the back house." As for the gift from your eldest lady to the concubine, I will let someone bring it. ”

"It's all to blame the ministers, bother the emperor with these trivial matters in the back house." Shen Qing smiled, "Let's not talk about this, let's play chess, right?" ”

Ying Zhan bowed slightly, indicating that she was accurate.

So, the two continued to play chess.

When he had taken a few steps in a game of chess, Shen Qing tried to ask: "Your Majesty, it is rumored that Yin Guiren cured the ministers in Beijing, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Well-behaved, why are you asking about this?" Ying Zhan casually put the chess pieces in his hand into the chessboard.

Shen Qing: "My wife wants to hold a banquet for me in a few days, saying that she will expel the bad luck of these years for me." ”

He pinched a chess piece and put it on the chessboard, "Woman, what you know is nothing more than that I can't see with my eyes over the years, and I have become a cripple again, and I have been looked down upon by those seven aunts and eight aunts, saying that I have become a waste." ”

"Therefore, my wife wants to invite everyone to take a look, so that people can see how the minister can walk on his legs and see the light of his eyes now, so that he can raise his eyebrows!"

"I thought that at the banquet, I would like to thank the person who treated my eye disease, but Concubine Yin and Yin Guiren have treated my eye disease successively, and the minister can't make up his mind for a while, and I don't know who to thank the most."

The meaning of these words is obvious, the credit for curing eye diseases, he doesn't know who he is on, and he wants to hear the emperor's opinion.

In and out of the words, he just didn't ask, "Your Majesty, who do you favor more, and who do you have in your heart"?
