Chapter 25: The Sin of Imprisoning the Emperor (1)
She can only wait now, Wang Huanzhi said that if she waits, she will definitely not break her promise!
The plain robe was lightly swept up by the breeze, and Shen Yan sat alone on the swing in contemplation, and the glass pendant hanging from his ear fell on his neck like tears.
Wait!
General Jin Wu presides over the affairs of Chang'an and cannot rashly break into private mansions. And the emperor is afraid of the power of the ironclad army, so he must not move.
The real confrontation is far from coming.
Another three days passed.
For three whole days, there was no news! No progress!
General Jinwu is still guarding outside the palace, the emperor still has not made a clear decree, the king of Qin is still seriously ill, the children in Chang'an City return home early before the curfew, and the bustling Suzaku Street is now deserted.
Now everyone's eyes are on the two people in the highest position of the country.
"Emperor, this is a letter from the palace."
Shen Yan sat in a pile of books, she had to grow up quickly in order to survive in such a chaotic situation. She needs to read them all and memorize them!
When Mama came in, she saw that Shen Yan's eyes were red and bloodshot, and there was a trace of tiredness on her delicate cheeks, obviously extremely tired.
In the past three days, she has only slept for one or two hours a day, except for eating, and she has nested here to endorse.
Shen Yan took the letter and suppressed the strangeness in her heart, she quickly glanced at it a few times, her expression was calm, "Who gave it to you?" β
"It's the Fubo of the palace."
"Fauber?"
She raised her eyebrows and asked, her eyebrows and eyes were sharp, all the depressed and irritable emotions these days were released, and the coercion forced the grandmother in front of her, so that she had to bow her head.
Mama put away her thoughts and replied carefully, "Yes...... Forbert entrusted me to the Emperor. β
"I see, you stand down."
Shen Yan put away the letter, got up from the pile of books, and walked to the window, she hadn't been in the sun like this for a long time, and it was a little dazzling, so she covered it with the big sleeves of her long shirt.
The sun is very good, but it's a pity that the sun can't take away those treacherous things under the power.
Seeing that she didn't have any instructions, Mama hesitated a few times, and finally spoke, "Emperor Ji, Your Highness is now trapped in the palace, seriously injured and unconscious, do you want to go and see?" β
"Mama was wrong. No matter what, I am a king, he is a courtier, and there is a difference between a king and a minister. You go for me, and bring some medicinal herbs along the way, it should be my heart. You don't have to ask me about these trivial matters, just send me the newspaper. β
Shen Yan instructed lightly, yawning, indicating that he was tired, and Mama had to turn around and retreat.
The door closed, and she was the only one left in the room.
"Mama? Is that you? β
Unfolding the letter, Shen Yan's eyes were calm, thinking to himself, the news that Kang and Emperor Ji lived in the other garden was a secret, and the Lingquan who was originally in the palace was transferred to serve her here, but Fu Bo didn't know it. And the content of this letter is really full of loopholes.
The letter said that it was a great crime for the King of Qin to take Kang and Emperor Ji out of the palace and confine. Now that the King of Qin is critically ill, the emperor should return to the palace to ask His Majesty for protection, but the king of Qin confined the emperor for friendship and asked him to come to the palace to visit.
With such a letter, I only know that she is Kang He Diji, but I don't know that she is still Shen Yan!
The fine work hidden deep in this garden, the fine work that leaked Wang Huanzhi and her whereabouts that day, is it finally going to be shot?
Just when the undercurrent of Chang'an was surging, a big event happened at the border!
The general under the King of Qin who was guarding the frontier killed the envoy, and sent someone to bring the man's head back to Chang'an and throw it in front of General Jinwu at the gate of the Qin Palace.
The burden shook off the round things, and the onlookers immediately screamed and ran away, leaving Jin Wuwei and the border army who surrounded the Qin Wangfu to confront each other with unkind faces.
This is the naked threat!
"My general said that such a villain, detaining the people at the border and arranging His Royal Highness the King of Qin, is really a wolf's ambition. When he heard that the lord was defending the palace of the king of Qin, he gave this head to the lord, so that the lord could know how to be a loyal and good general. β
The border army has been running for many days, and the armor on his body is covered with dust, but his eyes are resolute and bright. Although Jin Wuwei in front of him is glamorous, in his eyes, it stinks of wine and meat!
General Jin Wu blackened his face, kicked the things on the ground with his foot, and snorted coldly, "General Ben is just thinking that when His Royal Highness King Qin dies, he can report the news faster." These little tricks still want to threaten me? β
"You, good! Your Highness swore to defend the frontier to the death, but he raised something like you with a wolf's heart and lungs. β
Wang Huanzhi was seriously injured for many days, but he never woke up. Don't talk about this Chang'an, even the border defenders began to be uneasy. Everyone is staring at him, and the military power in his hands!
But his throne and military power were all won by fighting bloody battles and fighting desperately with a sword and a sword. It's a pity that it's hard to cool the blood, and it's hard to warm the desire for power.
Hearing the other party's accusation, General Jin Wu pointed to the palace behind him, "This general is favored by the Son of Heaven, and naturally the court raised me, where is he King Qin!" If he survives, he will cure me of my great disrespect today. It's a pity that no matter how powerful a dead person is, he can't make waves! β
"You!"
If it weren't for the general's instructions, he really wanted to blow up the head of the person in front of him, and he would have chilled for King Qin! Years of desperate struggle, but now it is the end!
"Your Majesty! Get out of the way! β
A shrill voice sounded, and it looked like a row of mighty guards of honor of the Son of Heaven. Fourteen eunuchs in front of them carry cloisonnΓ© grape flowers and birds incense cages, the middle carriage is carved and embroidered brocade, behind the four sides of the curtain, the emperor is sitting in the figure looming, and the two rows of attendants are dressed in palace clothes. The people around them avoided each other.
"The last general, Ling Tao, has seen Your Majesty."
General Kongo put away his sword and bowed on his knees.
"The grass people have seen Your Majesty." The border soldier gritted his teeth and half-knelt, he now had to bow to the person in front of him.
"Ahem...... Rise...... Come on. β
The Emperor's voice was weak and cold, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. As soon as he spoke, he didn't look like an emperor, but more like a weak scholar.
"General Ling guards the palace city, and he has to take care of King Qin, it's hard work."
"This is the duty of the last general, and he doesn't dare to call it hard." General Jin Wu is the position of guarding the palace, and since Ling Tao has taken the position of this general, he naturally has to do it.
"That'...... I have something to ask you. β
Although the emperor's voice was weak, Ling Tao still felt a coercion. This is the coercion of the Son of Heaven alone.
"You guarded Miyagi, but you didn't notice that my sister, Kang and Emperor Ji, were missing?"
"Your Majesty, the last general has never seen the emperor! The emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how could she suddenly disappear? Ling Tao hurriedly argued.
Although the emperor and the emperor are not close, the emperor is the only daughter of the first emperor, and her identity is still there. Emperor Ji is missing, and he can't afford it!
"Yes, I have come today for this purpose. Someone told me that Kang He was imprisoned by the King of Qin, and I came to ask him today. β
Everyone was shocked, the crime of entrapping the emperor Ji can be big or small, for the king of Qin, whose life and death are unknown at this time, it is a great sin, and it is the last straw.
