She saw Zhu Jianshen's face pale, obviously because Li Chengyu's affairs were greatly affected, in fact, it is no wonder that Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianshen has always been a flower growing up in a greenhouse, and he still needs people's care, in this situation, how can he not be afraid and nervous?

Zhu Jianshen glanced at Jian Huaizhen with apprehension, and said to her, "Eldest Princess, in fact, what I am worried about is my safety. ”

"There is a strict hierarchy in this palace, so the emperor doesn't have to worry." Jian Huaizhen comforted him and said.

"Although I said that, I saw that Jiang Taifu, Fang Daxia, and Ji Daxia were going to enter and leave the palace, it was just like a thing, since that person was able to take Li Chengyu's head among thousands of troops, presumably his kung fu must also be extremely strong. Then if he really wants to take my head, it may not be impossible. After finishing speaking, he looked at Jian Huaizhen pitifully.

Jian Huaizhen had no choice but to comfort him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I believe that as long as the guards and patrols in the palace are strengthened, it will be fine." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, Zhu Jianshen reluctantly nodded: "I still have a reluctant request." He hesitated for a while, and finally spoke to Jian Huaizhen.

"What does the emperor need this palace to do for the emperor, just open your mouth. This palace must do its best for the emperor. Jian Huaizhen said to her.

"I hope that the eldest princess can invite Mrs. Jiang or Ji Daxia to enter the palace to protect me. I also knew that this idea would make it very difficult for the eldest princess, however, I had no choice, and asked the eldest princess to be sympathetic to my current mood. Zhu Jianshen said to Jian Huaizhen with a sad face, which showed that he was really scared.

When Jian Huaizhen heard him say this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, her face showed a trace of embarrassment, at this time, it was really difficult for Jian Huaizhen to ask Ji Xianhan and Jiang Shaoheng to protect the emperor.

Jiang Shaoheng has been in hiding from the world for a long time, and has often avoided Jian Huaizhen recently, intentionally or unintentionally, if she lets him enter the palace to protect the emperor, she really doesn't know how to speak.

And Fang Xiao is not to mention, Fang Yu originally didn't have a good impression of the Ming royal family, the reason why he helped the royal family was nothing more than because of Jian Huaizhen, so it was very embarrassing to invite them to come.

As for Ji Kaihan, Ji Kaihan must be extremely worried because of Li Chengyu's killing, so it is unlikely that he will come to help the emperor, thinking about the whole thing, there is no one who can help the emperor at all.

Therefore, Jian Huaizhen looked embarrassed and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, this palace has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and it is not that this palace does not want to help the emperor, nor does it not want them to enter the palace to protect the emperor. But the emperor also knows that these people are all masters of the world, strange people, and they are not something that can be invited by a word from this palace, they have already done a lot for this palace. Now, if the palace lets them enter the palace to protect the emperor for things that have not yet been implemented, I don't think they will necessarily agree. ”

After Zhu Jianshen heard Jian Huaizhen's words, his heart suddenly became cold, he originally thought that Jian Huaizhen would help him, but he didn't expect Jian Huaizhen to reject him at a critical time, which made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the other party was the Empress Dowager Zhou, not Jian Huaizhen, the Empress Dowager Zhou would definitely try all means to help herself, but Jian Huaizhen was never able to do this, which shows that there are still other things in intimacy.

After thinking of this, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

Jian Huaizhen looked up at him, as if he had understood the discomfort in his heart, so he had to reluctantly say to him: "Your Majesty, this palace also knows that the emperor is a little uncomfortable, but this palace also tells the emperor the truth. If something really happens, the palace will definitely not stand idly by, please rest assured. ”

"Princess, I understand, no matter what, I thank the princess." Although Zhu Jianshen was dissatisfied in his heart, he never showed it on his face, he knew that if he showed it now, Jian Huaizhen refused to help him, then he would be miserable.

He still needs Jian Huaizhen to help him, otherwise, the assassin will really enter the palace, but no one can help him resist.

When Jian Huaizhen heard him say this, he didn't think much about it, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you have really grown up, no matter what, the emperor can rest assured, this palace will definitely not let you be in danger." As for the matter of Li Chengyu, I believe that the DPRK will not give up on this. Li Chengyu is the most famous general in North Korea, and he has always been loved by his subjects in North Korea, and if this kind of thing happens, not only will the imperial court investigate it, but even ordinary people will feel sad about the death of Li Chengyu, a great hero, and I am afraid of what kind of situation will happen. ”

Hearing her say this, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be a little nervous, he opened his eyes wide, looked at Jian Huaizhen, and said slowly: "Imperial Princess, do you really think this kind of thing will happen?" ”

Jian Huaizhen said with a wry smile: "I just think so, and the emperor shouldn't be too nervous." In short, let's take a look at everything. ”

Zhu Jianshen was a little frightened in his heart, although he explained that the strength of the DPRK was many times stronger than that of the DPRK, but he was always unwilling to fight in his heart, and it would not be beneficial to anyone if it started.

He remembered the change of Tumubao again, if it wasn't for the change of Tumubao, Emperor Jing would not have taken the opportunity to ascend the throne, and his father Emperor Yingzong would not have been arrested, although later by chance, Yingzong came back, but he had also been a down-and-out emperor for many years, and when he thought of this, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Jian Huaizhen saw that he was a little tired, so he persuaded him: "Your Majesty, if you feel tired, you might as well go and rest first." There are some things you don't have to think about so much, just let it be. ”

"I see, Princess." Zhu Jianshen said slowly to Jian Huaizhen.

After Zhu Jianshen went back, the first thing he did immediately was to strengthen the defense of the Qianqing Palace and the entire harem, because if someone could take Li Chengyu's life in the tens of millions of troops in North Korea, it would be possible to enter the palace to take Zhu Jianshen's life.

When he thought of this, he felt very panicked in his heart. Jian Huaizhen refused to let Fang Xiao, Jiang Shaoheng and Ji Qihan protect him, Zhu Jianshen didn't mention how depressed he was in his heart, but he was depressed, and he couldn't mention these things too clearly, after all, he and Jian Huaizhen finally reconciled, if something went wrong, it would not be good for anyone.

Then again, although he and Jian Huaizhen were reconciled, there was already a crack between the grandfather and grandson, and there was no way to make up for this crack, he only felt very worried, and he didn't sleep all night.

Sure enough, as he expected, within a few days, the North Korean affair began to be pursued.

After Yao Zhenyin learned about this, he was furious, no matter what, Li Chengyu is the number one general in North Korea, and the loss of Li Chengyu is the general, for Yao Zhenyin's loss can be imagined, how could Yao Zhenyin give up so easily?

She thought about and decided to transfer Li Chengyu back, but she was afraid that Li Chengyu would encounter any danger, which shows that she really attaches great importance to this general in her heart, and now, such things have happened, of course, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

Yao Zhenyin's plan to transfer Li Chengyu back never succeeded, but the news of Li Chengyu's death came, and Li Chengyu's head was cut off.

The most unexpected thing for Yao Zhenyin was that Li Chengyu's head was sent intact to the palace in North Korea.

One day when Yao Zhenyin accompanied the little emperor to read poetry, the little emperor shouted that he was sleepy, Yao Zhenyin accompanied him to rest, and finally sent the little emperor to sleep, he returned to his dormitory, and found that there was an extra box on the table at some point.

Yao Zhenyin felt strange, she felt that there was no box, so she called the palace maids to ask, and the palace maids all said that they didn't know where this box came from.

Yao Zhenyin ordered someone to open it, but after opening it, he found that it was Li Chengyu's head, which made Yao Zhenyin extremely shocked.

Not long after she received the head, the news of Li Chengyu's killing came over, how could Yao Zhenyin swallow this breath? So they immediately sent an envoy to Beijing, no matter what, they had to let the Ming Dynasty give an explanation to the Joseon Dynasty, otherwise, they would definitely not give up so well.

North Korea is indeed a small country with weak soldiers, but the soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, and the world is unpredictable, so this matter is carried out.

After the envoy came to the Ming Dynasty, he immediately made a request to see Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianshen knew that some things should come sooner or later, but he couldn't avoid it, since the Korean envoy made it clear that he wanted to see the great tomorrow, he could only go out to see the Korean envoy.

Zhu Jianshen met the North Korean envoy in the Yongcheng Palace, and the North Korean envoy himself also respected Li Chengyu very much, knowing that Li Chengyu died in Daming, of course he was very uncomfortable in his heart.

After the envoy came, when he saw Zhu Jianshen, he arched his hand, saluted Zhu Jianshen, and said to him: "Honorable emperor, hello, now it is the Empress Dowager Yao who sent me to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Yao has a letter to you, please take a look." ”

Zhu Jianshen nodded, and ordered someone to take the letter down, and after he read the letter, he only felt very, very angry.

Yao Zhenyin proposed in the letter that Zhu Jianshen and Jian Huaizhen should give her an explanation no matter what, otherwise, she would never just give up, she knew that the strength of the Ming Dynasty had always been stronger than that of North Korea, even if North Korea had no way to compare with the Ming Dynasty, she would also use the strength of the entire dynasty to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Rabbits can bite when they are in a hurry, let alone a country? North Korea will definitely fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty, although it is said that the Ming Dynasty will win to a large extent, but the North Korea will not let the Ming Dynasty win so easily, as they wish, they will definitely do their best to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

After seeing Yao Jiyin's letter written in Chinese, Zhu Jianshen's face became difficult to look at for a moment.

The envoy raised his head and looked at Zhu Jianshen, there was a fearless look in his eyes, and he said: "Emperor, no matter what, please give us an explanation, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for us in North Korea to be so easy to calculate." Yes, our North Korea is indeed a small country, and it is impossible for the country to prosper like your Ming Dynasty, but even if we are a small country, it is impossible for us to watch our General Li Chengyu Li pass away so inexplicably. If you don't agree to give us an explanation, don't say it's Empress Dowager Yao, even our Korean subjects won't agree. Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Jianshen.

When Zhu Jianshen heard the envoy's words, he didn't know how to answer for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold, which made the envoy obviously very angry in his words.

He, a small Korean envoy, dared to say these words in the court, and he was obviously so angry that he couldn't be more angry, so how angry were Yao Jiyin and the subjects of North Korea? It's unimaginable.

When he was hesitating how to answer, the envoy had already taken two steps forward, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" ”

Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and then said to him: "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation." In short, the death of the envoy has nothing to do with the eldest princess of my dynasty, Empress Dowager Yao and the eldest princess are sworn sisters, she should have always understood the personality of the eldest princess, and she should know the personality of the eldest princess. The eldest princess invited General Li Chengyu here, how could she embarrass him? What's more, we have already received a letter from the Empress Dowager Yao, in which the Empress Dowager Yao said that she would summon Li Chengyu back to North Korea, so we can't find a reason to kill him. ”

Speaking of which, he still said the words hidden in his heart, anyway, this is in the place of Daming, he doesn't believe that this envoy dares to mess around.

"No matter what, envoy, you also know that our Ming Dynasty is strong and strong, and you Koreans are weak, if you really want to fight against our Ming Dynasty, I believe you are definitely not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty. If you are still stubborn, then I have nothing to say, since I have promised to give you an explanation, I will definitely give you an explanation. But if you have to be in trouble with me, I am not responsible for what happens. When he said this, he was obviously vaguely angry.

When the North Korean envoy heard him say this, he didn't dare to say more, no matter what, he didn't dare to embarrass Zhu Jianshen, this North Korean envoy was originally known for his iron bones in North Korea, and he had always been friendly with Li Chengyu, so there was such a fierce rhetoric, and now seeing Zhu Jianshen becoming more and more tough, he didn't know what to say.

I had to reluctantly nod and said, "Since the emperor agreed, Weichen hopes that the emperor will definitely give us an explanation." Otherwise, even if I could say yes, the subjects of North Korea would not be able to. ”

"Well, you don't have to threaten me with my Korean subjects anymore. I am a dignified son of heaven, the Ninety-Five, am I afraid of your subjects in Korea? I have already said that Li Chengyu's death has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the eldest princess, that is, it has nothing to do with it. If you have to say that it has something to do with the princess and me, then I can only investigate one result for you, if you are not satisfied, it is a big deal that the two armies will meet each other. Speaking of this, Zhu Jianshen suddenly became very angry and anxious.

When the envoy saw Zhu Jianshen so angry, he no longer dared to speak, so he had to bow to Zhu Jianshen and leave.

Zhu Jianshen looked at him and left, and his heart was a little more comfortable, the envoy just now was so lawless, and he was so disrespectful to Zhu Jianshen, he was really angry, so he was like this.

Zhu Jianshen finally sent the envoy away, thinking carefully about the situation just now, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he was so angry, how could this Li Chengyu die inexplicably, and died so strangely, who was able to take Li Chengyu's life in the midst of thousands of troops?

Seriously, he didn't suspect Jian Huaizhen, and there was Jian Huaizhen's plum blossom needle at that time, after all, only a martial arts master like Jian Huaizhen could kill people invisibly, but he couldn't find a reason for Jian Huaizhen to kill Li Chengyu, could it be that Jian Huaizhen was really afraid that Li Chengyu would go to war with the Ming Dynasty, so he would do this? Or something else?

His mind was getting more and more confused, and he didn't know what to do.

When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he kept throwing things and losing his temper, Jian Huaizhen had heard about these situations in the Wan'an Palace, so he rushed to the Qianqing Palace to see him.

Jian Huaizhen walked to the door of the Qianqing Palace, Gu Lengyi saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute her, and said to her: "The eldest princess, the emperor is losing his temper inside, let the servants go in and help you report." ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and said, "No need, just go in the palace and see the emperor by yourself." ”

Gu Lengyi didn't dare to speak much, so Jian Huaizhen walked in.

After walking in, seeing his appearance, Jian Huaizhen frowned and said to him, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Jianshen raised his head and saw Jian Huaizhen in front of him, he reluctantly cheered up and said, "Princess, I'm fine." ”

Jian Huaizhen said with a smile: "Are you okay with something, can't I still see it?" I know you must be angry right now, right? After all, the Korean envoys came to make such a scene, and you, the emperor, will not be very happy in your heart. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, he reluctantly admitted it and said, "Yes, the eldest princess, I really can't feel comfortable in my heart. Today, I was made a big fuss in the court by the Korean Tartars, but fortunately I finally scared him, otherwise, how would I have the face to get along with the ministers again. At this, he became more and more angry.

Jian Huaizhen took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Okay, the emperor doesn't have to be so angry anymore, since the matter has happened, we have to solve it." ”

When he heard Jian Huaizhen say it lightly, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious for a while, looked up at Jian Huaizhen, hesitated, and still asked, "Eldest Princess, are you sure you didn't send anyone to assassinate Li Chengyu?" ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard him ask, he was slightly stunned and said, "You are suspicious of this palace." ”

Zhu Jianshen also felt that his words were a bit excessive, so he shook his head and said, "Princess, I don't mean that, but I always feel that it is very difficult to take people's lives in the midst of thousands of troops. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard him say this, he was a little angry for a while, but he felt that Zhu Jianshen was so suspicious, and it was not without his reason, after all, this is like what he said, there are indeed not many people in the world who can assassinate Li Chengyu, Jian Huaizhen does have such suspicions, not to mention that there are plum blossom needles.

Jian Huaizhen looked at Zhu Jianshen, she laughed, and said: "Your Majesty, this palace never lies, this palace says no, that is if there is none, there must be none, and this palace did not send someone to assassinate him at all." Indeed, before this palace, I also considered with you, if he is still obsessed, whether we want to assassinate Li Chengyu. But in the end, Li Chengyu didn't insist on being the enemy of our Ming Dynasty again, so there would be no reason for the palace to kill him, don't you say? And what good is it for us to kill him? ”

Zhu Jianshen heard Jian Huaizhen say this, and felt that what Jian Huaizhen said was also reasonable, no matter what, there was really no need to kill a person who was no longer an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and Jian Huaizhen should not do it.

He felt that his tone was a little reckless, and hurriedly said to Jian Huaizhen: "Princess, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask you. It's just that the eldest princess also knows that I am in a very bad mood now, and I can't be in a good mood when this kind of thing happens, because the North Korean envoy always wants to give him a reply. If I wantonly kill the Korean generals, I believe that not only the Empress Dowager Yao, but even the subjects of North Korea will not be so easy to give up with us. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard him say this, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty, you are becoming more and more capable, don't worry, I will definitely think carefully about how to do this matter and help the emperor resolve this matter." Whether it is Empress Dowager Yao or the subjects of North Korea, they will definitely not trouble our Ming Dynasty. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen say this, he felt a little comforted in his heart, and he suddenly seemed to remember something, glanced at Jian Huaizhen, hesitated, and said to her: "By the way, the eldest princess, I don't know how the eldest princess thought about the matter I told you before?" ”

"What's the matter?" Jian Huaizhen hesitated for a moment and asked.

He said to Jian Huaizhen: "That's the case, since someone can assassinate Li Chengyu invisibly, then naturally they can also assassinate me invisibly, so I still hope that the eldest princess can send someone to protect me." I also knew that I said this to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was inevitably reluctant in her heart, but if I had something to say......" Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while and said to him: "Your Majesty, you also know that if I invite someone to protect you, this palace will also be very embarrassed. Besides, isn't it enough to have this palace to protect you? Don't worry, no matter what happens, this palace will definitely help you block it, and it will definitely not let you have anything. Don't you have faith in the martial arts of this palace? ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard Jian Huaizhen say this, he reluctantly agreed.

The reason why Jian Huaizhen felt that she didn't want to invite Fang Liao and them to protect the emperor was because she had her own ideas, after all, whether Fang Liao or Jiang Shaoheng, they were just her friends, not her subordinates, they helped Jian Huaizhen This is affection and benevolence, and it is reasonable if they don't help Jian Huaizhen.

These people are all iron-clad people, and it is difficult to ask them for help no matter how much money they have, so Jian Huaizhen doesn't want to trouble them repeatedly, so he will say this.

Although Zhu Jianshen was not very satisfied with Jian Huaizhen's reply, he saw that Jian Huaizhen insisted on refusing, so he had no choice but to agree, on the one hand, he sent people to tighten the guards of the palace, and on the other hand, he sent people to investigate Li Chengyu's death.

Li Chengyu's death was so strange that it was difficult to find out in a while, and he also knew about it, so he also felt upset in his heart.

After Zhu Jianshen finished eating this day, the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt, he reviewed the official documents, but he couldn't read them anymore, thinking that when he didn't know what to do, he stood up and wanted to walk around.

Just as he walked out of the palace gate, Gu Lengyi hurriedly chased after him and said to him: "Your Majesty, why did you come out secretly alone, what if something happened?" ”

When Zhu Jianshen heard him say this, he remembered that someone had taken Li Chengyu's life in the midst of thousands of troops, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, you can follow me around." ”

Zhu Jianshen was a little nostalgic for Tang Yuncao at this time, if Tang Yuncao was still in the palace, the situation would definitely not be like this, he could go to Tang Yuncao to chat if he had anything on his mind, and Tang Yuncao was originally a woman with strong martial arts, if Tang Yuncao was willing to protect him, he would not be afraid of any enemies.

But the situation in front of him made him unable not to be nervous, so he walked around with Gu Leng Yi.

After walking for a while, Gu Lengyi saw his expression, so he said to him: "Your Majesty, I heard that a white peony with a big bowl mouth has opened outside the South Third Institute, is the emperor interested in going to see it?" ”
