The bath room was full of steam.

Shen Mu rolled up his sleeves and rubbed Helian Yan's back, anyway, he was the master and his servant, and he didn't feel anything when he served him.

But Helian Yan is not so easy to speak, for a while, he thinks his movements are too heavy, and for a while, he thinks that his movements are too light, and he is not satisfactory horizontally and vertically anyway.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor said that your wound should not be wet....." reminded him, meaning that the washing was almost finished.

"Well, you know I love to be clean." The water in the barrel had not reached his chest, just avoiding his wounds, but it almost made him feel as if he hadn't washed it yet.

Helian Yan has a habit of cleanliness.

Shen Mu felt funny for a while, how could a person with a habit of cleanliness not know how to restrain himself at all in the bed, he really responded to that sentence, he was so hungry that he ate everything.

Thinking so, he accidentally sneered, causing Helian Yan to look back at him with raised eyebrows.

The man hurriedly lowered his head, respectfully, as if nothing had happened.

"That's it, I won't embarrass you, so be it." Getting up and changing clothes, Helian Yan pointed to his wound and said to Shen Mu, "Amu, look, it's because of you that you're injured." ”

Suddenly, he felt that the scar was good, so that he could remember it for the rest of his life.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, it's Wechen's fault, it's just Your Majesty, you still have to wear that golden silk armor in the future, after all, Wechen can't stay by your side all the time." Persuading him, Shen Mu felt that this was also part of his duty, "Just like Fang Cai, Wei Chen accidentally fell asleep, what if someone came to assassinate him at that time?" ”

"This kind of thing, a little slower reaction may cause a catastrophe, Your Majesty is wearing gold silk armor, so you can have an extra layer of insurance."

"Amu, are you worried about me, or are you worried that something will happen to me that will drag you down?" Helian Yan only put on the middle coat and stopped wearing it, squinting his eyelids and looking at him without smiling, which made people panic.

"Wechen.... Of course, I was worried about Your Majesty. Although he hesitated for a moment, his attitude was sincere, and he instantly made the young emperor extinguish his anger.

"There's nothing to worry about, didn't we say it was okay last night, you stay by my side for a long time, and when the situation is a little more stable, I will depend on you what you want to do."

It is estimated that he wants to settle the outside first, first get rid of those old ministers and political enemies who are not used to him, and then let him go when the throne is stable.

"You can take back the city for me, and then come back to be a beautiful prince, okay?"

Hearing this, he didn't show a look of joy, Shen Mu arched his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you have to recover the city, the northern kingdom is now committed to commerce and trade, and it is in full swing, why doesn't Your Majesty reconcile with it and get a piece of the pie, so that it may be more popular than recovering the lost land." ”

The good mood was easily ruined by his words, Helian Yan couldn't help but admire Shen Mu a little, he was always like this, he could easily affect his emotions, and he was unaware of it, extremely innocent.

"Why, you're not willing to regain lost ground for me?"

"Of course I do." Meritorious service is what every man expects, not to mention that only in this way can he be qualified to negotiate terms with Helian Yan, confront Xun Yu, and snatch the peace back, "It's just that Weichen feels that if His Majesty breaks off contact with the northern kingdom because of this, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"If you don't come and go, you won't come and go, anyway, we also have food and drink in Xiliang, and the barbarians in the north know how to do business, and if you have more dealings with them, you will only suffer, but it is better to have well water and not river water."

"Amu, if I want to grovel all the time for some money, and don't even care about the city in the hands of others, I really can't do it."

"What's more, I want to achieve you, your ability is so good, you should be a general, and you will be famous in history."

Helian Yan said the truth, but it was on Yu Gong's side, and as for selfishness, he didn't dare to say it.

If he achieves him, and the whole country makes him famous, what will he do in the future, and he will be willing?

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you're tired too, go back and rest, someone here will keep an eye on you."

Shen Mu bowed his hand, and when he walked out of the hall, he only felt a long sigh of relief, since His Majesty has his own opinions, and it does not conflict with his wishes, then it doesn't matter if he receives the favor of others, he just needs to serve well.

A few days later, Helian Yan issued an order to transfer Shen Mu back to the palace and guard him closely.

Just when he thought everything could go according to plan, a letter from the north disrupted everything he had planned.

The needle drop could be heard in the study, and the waiter looked at His Majesty's face, and he didn't even dare to breathe, only feeling that the atmosphere in the hall could suffocate people to death.

He was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat, so that when the door curtain was lifted, the cold wind blew him shivering.

After seeing that it was Shen Mu coming in, the chief chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly reminded him that His Majesty was angry.

"Stand down."

If he was amnesty, the chamberlain didn't care about the sweat on his body, leaned over to salute Helian Yan, and immediately ran out, at this moment, it was better for him to be infected with a cold and a serious illness, than to be Ling Chi here.

"Your Majesty looking for me?" Shen Mu arched his hand, not knowing what was going on.

Helian Yan restrained his expression, and still looked at him with a smile, but his eyes were cold, like knives.

"Amu, what are you hiding from me?"

Frowning, Shen Mu didn't know which one he was asking, anyway, as long as it was a matter of tranquility, he didn't say a word.

But in the past, it didn't hurt if he didn't say it, after all, it was his own private matter, but he had hidden too much for her on this trip to the north, and if Helian Yan knew, he didn't know what kind of punishment he would give.

Kneeling on the ground, Shen Mu said in a deep voice, "Weichen has nothing to deceive Your Majesty. ”

"Good, good."

Throwing the letter aside, Helian Yan walked to Shen Mu's side from the main seat, pulled his chin and told him to look at him, "Amu, I treat you well, and I never care about your background and past, but I didn't expect that the general of the Sixteenth Guard, who was given the surname of the country, turned out to be the shadow guard of the Shu Kingdom, and also hijacked the current queen of the Northern Kingdom." ”

He not only transferred Shen Mu back from the capital, but also reinstated him as an official, and he was often a third-grade official.

But that's what he did to himself.

Unlike Helian Yan's anger, Shen Mu was relieved when he heard this, and it didn't hurt to know this.

"Your Majesty atoned for your sins, Weichen did kidnap the queen of the northern country, and after the defeat, he fled to Xiliang, fortunately His Majesty was heavy, but it was too unbearable in the past, so he was embarrassed to mention it." made up a lie, but it made Helian Yan angry a lot.

can understand Shen Mu's choice, after all, if he knew that he had done this before, who would use him.

But he is different, what he values is him as a person, and it has nothing to do with his past.
