Yingning has been staying in Wangxiangtai a lot lately, and she doesn't do anything, just stays quietly. The Night Monarch had forbade her to take a step out of the underworld, and as he had said, almost all of the demons had taken a turn on him. I don't know when he has begun to become the only person in the underworld.

Sometimes she wants to use her identity to suppress it, but in the end, she has to come to the helpless words of the ghosts: "Lord Hades, don't be difficult for us." Ying Ning was finally discouraged and didn't want to go out anymore, so much so that Meng Po kept laughing at her, saying that she was simply a puppet Hades King, who had been guarding the underworld for so many years, and she didn't even have any power. Who made her often ignore anything, and handed over all the big and small affairs to the Night King. It's no one to blame, only her own incompetence.

From time to time, the Night Monarch appeared in front of her, bringing some news about my period. Most of them are the same as usual, still grounded in King Jing's Mansion. Ying Ning didn't know why Yejun told her this, because she wanted to know, so he told one or two intimately. Or did he tell himself that he was still locked up, and that he had no time to take care of her, and wanted her to die.

Whatever the reason, Yingning is still willing to listen. Occasionally, Yejun will analyze with her, and I probably won't be released in the future. When he said it, his tone was calm, and it didn't seem like he was gloating. Yejun said that Shen Tu originally wanted to imprison him first, and when the time went on, everyone forgot about it, and then found a reason to release him. However, I have been in the court for several years, and I still offended many people because of the emperor's accession to the throne. Therefore, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the behavior of falling into the well and falling into the stone has existed since ancient times. The scenery was infinite earlier, and they naturally did not dare to offend. Now, taking advantage of such a great opportunity, of course, I must do my best to bring him down, not only to bring him down, but it is best to make him never turn over.

Some people wrote a letter of impeachment, and there was no excuse for the crime they wanted to add, saying that they were ambitious and secretly stationed troops with the intention of rebellion. Persuade the emperor not to raise tigers for trouble, and not to let them go because they are brothers. There are not a few people in the history books who secretly stab their brothers. They were like telling stories, wonderful, as if they had seen me do these things. In fact, they have no substantial evidence, nothing more than folk rumors. They seized on such nonsense and publicized it in a big way, and the emperor reached the point where it was difficult to ride a tiger for a while.

Sitting in the position of the emperor, even if you want to believe King Jing, you will inevitably have some suspicions. It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not, this is one of the sentences in the book. Therefore, they should uphold the principle that it is better to kill by mistake than to indulge in it.

Shen Tu sat on the dragon chair, his fingers touching his forehead, and did not give any reply. The ministers standing below did not dare to say much, and yesterday a minister was dismissed from his official post because he said the wrong word. The court was uncomfortably quiet, and Shen Tu finally waved his hand and said softly, "You all step back first, I need to think carefully about this matter." ”

The ministers slowly withdrew, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Shen Di's mouth, even if he committed a great crime, he would not punish him. It's just that some people who want my life are pressed too hard, and he is not good at protecting his short. Shen Tu sighed secretly: "It's so bad to be a mortal, even if you are in the supreme position, you still have to have scruples." ”

He looked at the incense on the table, he hadn't seen me in a while. He beckoned, and the little eunuch behind him approached and asked in a low voice, "What does the emperor command?" ”

Shen Tu asked casually, "How has King Jing been lately?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the news from the Imperial Forest Army that His Royal Highness King Jing is staying in the palace, studying and practicing martial arts every day, everything is normal."

Shen Tu changed his position, reclined on the back of the dragon chair, put his fingers on the armrest, and asked, "But who has looked for him?" For example, a girl who looks like a fairy is called Bai Yingning. ”

The little eunuch thought about it very seriously for a while before bowing his head and saying, "I haven't heard the Royal Forest Army talk about it. ”

Shen Tu laughed and said lightly: "Also, with her identity, it is easy to see anyone without being known." ”

The little eunuch only listened to him, but he probably didn't understand anything. At this time, someone from outside the door hurriedly walked over, dressed in a wide and gorgeous palace dress, followed by Aunt Xia.

Shen Tu stepped down from the dragon chair and went to greet him. The Queen Mother couldn't wait for him to salute, so she asked anxiously: "I heard that someone impeached me, saying that he committed the following crimes and intended to rebel?" ”

Shen Tu helped the Queen Mother sit down on the chair next to her, and replied lightly: "This is indeed the case." ”

"Emperor, you and I are brothers. The mourners know you, and they also understand our period. He wouldn't have committed such a capital offense, and you wouldn't believe it, would you? The Queen Mother stared at Shen Di tightly, the two brothers have always been harmonious, and they must not turn against each other because of the malicious provocation of some villains.

Shen Tu called someone to serve tea to the Queen Mother, and served tea with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I naturally believe in my future." It's just that things are a little troublesome, and those people only grasp the disobedience of the Holy Decree, and I have to punish them. ”

The Queen Mother was not completely unreasonable, she nodded, and said: "I am at fault first, and I really need to be punished." Otherwise, the emperor will not be able to manage the government in the future, lest some people say that the emperor is not selfless enough. But what does the Emperor plan to do? ”

Shen Tu smiled: "It's good that the queen mother can understand her son." This matter really needs to be carefully planned, and I may have to suffer some sins, and the queen mother will have to harden her heart when the time comes. ”

The Queen Mother sighed softly and said, "I have been fighting all year round, and I have barely survived many times, so what is unbearable for the mourning family." The mourning family believes in the emperor, and you can do this with confidence. Not only can I shut up the mouths of those villains, but I also want to preserve the glory of my future. ”

They discussed the matter, and the Queen Mother also had a matter on her mind. She was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something: "I heard that the demon girl has left, and she has not appeared in front of me again." Such a person, I don't know what ecstasy soup I poured into my period, and he made him resist the decree and repent of his marriage, which is an unforgivable sin. ”

Shen Di's eyes turned cold, and he said softly: "Now that King Jing's Mansion is surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, presumably she will not appear." ”

"Hmph, it's kind of her acquaintance. What kind of person from the underworld do you say she is going to our mortal world? It's weird and scary to hear, the mourning family is still a little worried in the past few days, will she hook the soul of the mourning family out of hatred of the mourning family? ”

Shen Tu smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the underworld is not to hook anyone's soul if you want to, they also have a strict mechanism, if you don't have a longevity in the book of life and death, you won't be hooked." ”

"Oh, that's good." The Queen Mother nodded slightly, as if relieved.

Gong sent off the Queen Mother, it was almost dusk, the little eunuch asked if he wanted to pass dinner, Shen Tu thought for a while, and said, "No need, I want to go to King Jing's mansion." ”

The little eunuch said, "The slave went to prepare a carriage for the emperor." ”

"Well, I'm going to go quietly, don't be too public. In addition, the Royal Foresters are not allowed to follow, as long as there are two guards, a few secret guards immediately. Shen Tu commanded lightly.

Shen Tu changed into a merchant's clothes, although it was not as good as the dragon robe, but the silk fabric was also a little extravagant.

They soon left the palace and went straight to King Jing's mansion.

At that time, I was listening to Mo Yan's report about a strange thing in Luoyang City.

"I heard that it has been half a month, and every day there will be a strong man who disappears inexplicably. No one is alive, no corpse is dead. Mo Yan said.

"But what valuable clues are there?" I asked while drinking tea. Such a strange thing is unheard of.

"No, the last general will be grounded like the prince, so don't dare to be too publicistic when you investigate, so as not to expose the stuffing and cause trouble to the prince." Mo Yan received a flying pigeon a few days ago, and it was Hu Wansheng, the prefect of Luoyang, who quietly sent a letter to me. Every day, villagers go to the prefect's yamen to complain, and their men disappear at night for no reason. They went to the yamen to investigate, but there were no clues for half a day. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen men had disappeared, and they couldn't find out why. So much so that the people are full of voices and the people are panicking. Hu Wansheng was under tremendous pressure and reported to the emperor, who sent a few investigators to investigate the case, but it seemed that they were not as capable as their prefect's yamen. In desperation, he happened to remember that although this King Jing can fight well, he is also resourceful. Although he knew that he was grounded and couldn't even get out of the gate, he still worked as a dead horse doctor and got a flying pigeon for King Jing's mansion.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of the book, the Nine Kings sent Mo Yan to find out the details.

"Most of those people are strong men with strong bodies and strong muscles. It was fine when he slept at night, but disappeared the next morning, and there was no sign of outsiders stepping into the room, even the locked door was intact. The last general couldn't figure out who disappeared and how. Mo Yan frowned and said, he had never seen such a bizarre case, he went out over the wall every night to investigate in various homes, and it had been three days, and he had no clue at all.

My fingers clicked on the table, and after a while, he said, "This king is going out to have a look tonight, you stay in the study for this king, don't let those royal guards be suspicious." ”

Mo Yan hesitated a little: "The last general is not at ease, if the prince is in any danger, what is good, the last general is not by his side, and he can't protect the prince." ”

"You don't have to worry about this king, this king will bring a few secret guards with you, you can always rest assured." I don't want to quarrel on this matter, it's already night, and he must set out at once, otherwise the hour will be delayed, and it will be easy to be discovered when the day breaks.

Mo Yan couldn't, and was about to change clothes with the prince. Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside. Mo Yan asked aloud smartly, "Who is it?" ”

"Lord Wang, the emperor has arrived, and he has arrived at the reception hall." It was the voice of the bell steward.

I frowned, he couldn't go out for a while. Wu Qi said to the door, "This king will go out to pick up the car." ”

He sighed and said, "The purpose of this king's trip to see the emperor is probably about how to punish this king. Wait here, and the king will come back as soon as possible. After saying that, he smiled again, "Maybe he has come to pardon this king, and this king can go out through the gate openly." ”

Mo Yan smiled reluctantly, he didn't have such a cheerful idea as the prince, the emperor came in person, probably not to bring any good news.

I tidied up my robes and walked out. Countless lamps were lit in the reception hall, illuminating the whole room as if it were daytime. The emperor sat on the upper seat, holding the tea bowl in one hand and sipping gently. I walked in and lifted my robe and bowed: "The courtier's brother is late to take over, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

Shen Tu put the tea bowl on the table, lowered his eyes and looked at Wu Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "It's okay, I came quietly, and I didn't let them make a big splash." ”

I raised my eyes and glanced at the towering god, who was followed only by the two solemn guards, and probably the secret guard who didn't know where to hide. He wondered, what was the matter, the emperor actually leaked liquid and came in person.

"I have imprisoned you for so many days, do you blame me?" Shen Tu stared at Wu Ji, expecting his answer.

I was bent on going out to investigate the case, and I seemed a little absent-minded, so I hurriedly replied: "No blame, it's the minister who did something wrong, and the emperor can't punish him too much." ”

"Then since you know that you are wrong, have you ever thought about making up for your mistakes?" Shen asked.

I didn't think about this problem, so he asked: "There is no way to turn this matter around, I don't know how the emperor and his ministers can make up for it." ”

"You go to General Su's mansion to apologize, and marry Su Yuanruo back to the mansion in a few days, and I will turn this matter over and lift your grounding." Shen Tu asked tentatively, and although he knew the answer, he still didn't give up.

My face changed, but I didn't expect it to come to this point, and the emperor still wanted him to marry Su Yuanruo. If you can marry, you will marry a long time ago, why wait until this situation. He said in a deep voice: "I thought that the imperial brother already knew my intentions, but I didn't expect it...... It was me who was wrong. The royal brother didn't understand me at all. ”

Shen Tu was silent for a long time, and his words made him a little angry. He doesn't understand him? How could he not understand, but he just wanted Bai Yingning with a dead eye. Shen Tu is simply unwilling, and after these few lifetimes, I am still infatuated with Bai Yingning. He couldn't figure out why. What's so good about Bai Yingning, just a spoiled fairy. However, she is not even a fairy now. But there are still people who are willing to guard her side, my period, Yejun, how can she be virtuous?
