At this time, Imperial Physician Chen walked out, Qingya also followed behind, Shen Zhe was not qualified to ask about the situation of the Imperial Physician Empress like the emperor, he knew his own proportions, and only stood aside silently. On the contrary, Qingya took the initiative to tell him that the queen was fine, and she could get better if she recuperated, but Qingya also asked twice in a row: "You really don't know where the emperor is?" ”

Shen Zhe said calmly: "I don't know. ”

Seeing that General Shen was so determined, Qingya didn't dwell on it anymore, and inquired about the situation in the palace, only to know that Qin Zhuang had not gotten the power of the court at all, and Qin Zhuang's most trusted deputy general had already defected, and he just broke into the palace with the soldiers to make a scene, because Qin Zhuang refused to force the palace, they had to take the first step for Qin Zhuang.

Everything was in the calculation of the emperor and Shen Zhe, but Shen Zhe repeatedly stated that he did not know the whereabouts of the emperor.

"Since the palace is fine, general, you should go home, since the palace was controlled by Qin Zhuang, Madame has not entered the palace again, and Niangniang doesn't know how Madame is now." Qingya saw that Shen Zhe's face was full of worries that she couldn't let go, she said gently and kindly, "The queen mother will be fine, you just said in the Xuanzheng Palace, the mother will never disappoint, and it will not make people worry, right?" She's going to be strong. ”

Shen Zhe nodded and walked out of the Shangyang Hall silently, and Er Zhen of Anle Palace brought someone to pick up the two princes, the children were sleeping in a daze, Shen Zhe helped carry Feng'er across the long bridge, and when Er Zhen took away the two princes, he didn't forget to ask him: "General, where is the emperor, don't you really know?" ”

This question, not only Min'er asked, but also Qing Ya Erzhen or Guifei, presumably when they see Yunshang next and their aunt tomorrow, they will all ask. Before that, after Shen Zhe secretly returned to Beijing, he had been asked countless times by others.

Shen Zhe was not impatient, and after giving the same answer, he didn't say anything more, and went to arrange guards everywhere in the palace to clean up the mess of the Xuanzheng Palace, and when he left the imperial city, the sky was already dark.

There was a little light in the east, he squinted, and hurried towards the general's mansion on his horse.

When the general entered the door, he was shocked by a burst of joy in the family, he took off the coat that was cut during the fight with Qin Zhuang, shook off the dust, and strode into the bedroom, the room was quiet, this hour was the time when people slept most soundly, on the couch, Yunshang was sleeping sweetly on her side, and her clothes were ripped open, and her son put one hand on his mother's chest, one hand in his mouth, sleeping like a piglet. The last time I saw my son, it was in Qinzhou, and in a blink of an eye, he was so old.

"Yunshang." Shen Zhe gently called his wife's name, leaned closer and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

The person in the dream woke up suddenly, and jumped up from the ** quickly, almost instantly awake, and strictly protected her son behind her, she didn't realize that her husband was back, and thought that someone was trying to harm her. These days, Song Linglong has repeatedly sent people to ask her to leave, saying that they are looking for a safe place to hide, but Yunshang hesitated and refused, she had to wait for Shen Zhe at home, she was afraid that if she went somewhere else, Xianggong would not be able to find her when she came back.

"......" Yunshang saw the face of the man on the side clearly, and suddenly slapped him in the face, which shocked Shen Zhe very distressed, grabbed her hand and asked, "What are you doing beating yourself, are you stupid, is it hurt?" ”

The rough hand wiped on his face, I don't know how many calluses have formed in his palm, her man is no longer the gentle and jade handsome boy he was back then, the wind, frost, snow and rain have left countless marks on his body, but it is enough for him to firmly support himself and his child. She waited for her man to come back, Yunshang suddenly felt like a dream, she beat herself because she was afraid that she was dreaming, the hot pain in her cheeks at the moment, and the roughness of her husband's palm, made her understand that everything in front of her was true.

Yunshang asked aggrievedly, "Are you willing to come back?" ”

Shen Zhe held her in his arms, gently stroked her back, and coaxed her like a child, so gentle and loving: "I'm back, Yunshang, we will never be separated again." ”

On the side, Shen Yun woke up from his dream and looked at this scene blankly, the father and son looked at each other, Shen Yun smiled innocently, opened his mouth and shouted in a milky voice: "Daddy." ”

The family was reunited, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, but the dark clouds that shrouded the sky over the capital did not disappear, the emperor's whereabouts were unknown, even if Yun Sheng asked, Shen Zhe's answer was the same, he didn't know where the emperor was, and he almost didn't know what happened outside Xiping Mansion.

He came from Qiangshui Pass, for all this in Qinzhuang, he had discussed it with him as early as before the emperor set out on the expedition, and this plan looked simple, Qinzhuang looked vulnerable, in fact, in order to avoid the head-to-head confrontation of the army and avoid the poison of war, the emperor and he had done a full year of hard work, and Shen Zhe took great pains to make Qinzhuang relax his vigilance against him.

"It's not that Qinzhuang is useless, but that the emperor and I have avoided conflicts as much as possible, it is the people who suffer from the war, even if they die a lot, the army of Kishu is the people of their hometown, how can they be willing?" Shen Zhe said to Yunshang, "But I didn't expect that things would become so cruel and the emperor was gone." ”

Yunshang looked at her husband suspiciously, she didn't believe it, but she had to believe it.

At dawn, Qin Zhuang was killed, the Jizhou army was controlled, and the news that General Shen had led his troops to regain imperial power spread, and Shen Zhe sent his soldiers to go door to door to the homes of various ministers and ordered them to come to the court. The Xuanzheng Hall has been washed overnight, and this turmoil cannot be compared with seven years ago, when Emperor Xiang Ye killed people and shed blood in the Xuanzheng Palace, Qingya and they couldn't wash it clean for a few days.

When Shuguang ingested the Shangyang Palace, Min'er woke up, her body was not particularly unwell, and she felt that she was fine. Everything that happened last night was like a dream, and after she asked Qingya, she was sure that it was true.

"Concubine Shu Guifei took the second prince and the third prince back to Anle Palace overnight, and the other two will not move to Shangyang Palace again." Qingya told the queen, "Right now, the ministers are gathering outside the court, and they are about to ascend to the court." ”

"Your Majesty......" Min'er wanted to ask, but the words stopped, she remembered the answer Shen Zhe gave her last night, what Shen Zhe didn't know, what else could she do.

"Niangniang, Imperial Doctor Chen asked you to lie down ** to recuperate, yesterday you had fetal gas and almost miscarried." Qingya said anxiously, "Now that the general is in control of everything, the world is good, you must take care of your body with peace of mind, the people outside Xiping Mansion are still desperately looking for the emperor, and they will definitely find the emperor back." ”

Min'er raised her eyes and looked out the window, the dawn was bright, and the autumn was no longer so depressed and gloomy, but she calmly instructed Qingya: "Prepare court clothes, prepare a sedan chair, and send me to the Xuanzheng Palace." ”

Qingya didn't follow: "No, Niangniang, your body can't support it." ”

Min'er didn't defend fiercely, she was still so calm, just like the expression and temperament when she first set foot in the Shangyang Palace, ordering Qingya to put another chair on the edge of the throne, Qingya was suppressed by the queen back then, and at this moment she also understood that she had no objection. Qingya carefully took care of the queen's comb hair, and soon after, Min'er left the Shangyang Hall under the support of the palace people.

The sedan chair slowly passed through the deserted palace, although there is not much difference between the concubines and concubines in the palace on weekdays and the current situation, but this person is there or not, it is really different, Min'er has been looking forward to this day, but unfortunately it is really this day, but Xiang Ye is gone.

In the court, the ministers stood in shifts, all of them were frightened by the complete reversal of the situation in the court, those who had been rushing to Qin Zhuang a few days ago, and wanted to seek a way to survive under the notice of the new monarch, had to tremble, but Shen Zhe just explained to everyone what happened last night, and he didn't plan to hold anyone at fault or responsibility, after all, letting Qin Zhuang force the palace to break into the palace was also planned by him and the emperor earlier.

"General Shen." The attendant of the Xuanzheng Hall stepped forward and said softly, "The queen mother has arrived, and the queen mother wants to be promoted to listen to the government." ”

Shen Zhe frowned, and immediately said, "Please." He turned to the ministers and said, "The queen is coming." ”

The men looked at each other, and at this moment, they were still not used to a woman above their heads, but they had to watch the queen step by step on the throne. And today, the empress no longer puts a chair in front of the dragon chair, but sits firmly in the position of the emperor.

Qin Zhuang was nailed to the throne last night, and this morning someone moved the dragon chair of Qingming Pavilion over, it was still brilliant, still majestic and domineering, and the queen's delicate body was not contrasted with the insignificance, on the contrary, it set off her proud extravagance in the world.

Shen Zhe led the ministers to bow, Min'er looked at everyone lightly, and when the ministers got up, she said: "The emperor's whereabouts are still unknown, from today onwards, I will listen to the government, Shen Zhe will assist the government, and discuss major matters together." ”

The ministers held back their silence, and Song Yuan stepped out and said, "Queen Shengming." ”

Min'er asked him directly: "Lord Song, what is the current situation in Xiping Mansion?" ”

There were questions and answers between the "Jun" ministers, Min'er listened very carefully, and the other ministers were dumbfounded, even Shen Zhe was impressed, why was the queen able to adapt to all this so quickly, could it be that she had accepted the fact that the emperor was not alive in her heart?

Min'er sat on top, everyone was under her skirt, her gaze looked through the Xuanzheng Palace, far away, she was going to wait here until he returned.
