Chapter Eighty-Four: The Queen's Will
"What do you say, uncle?" Red Sleeves almost couldn't believe his ears: You mean Prince Lian? Her voice was almost like a whisper: 'Lord Wang, he, he's still alive?'
"Alive, alive and well;" The fourth old man smiled and narrowed his eyes: "When I heard that the prince died, I was still in tears, and I still thought, why is it that the eldest girl of our family for several generations has such a bad familyββββ and I still think that the ancestral grave of our Shen family is not good; I also met the little prince of Jing'an, and I knew that the prince's family was alive and well; By the way, the little prince of Fuguan also entrusted the letter and things brought by the little prince of Jing'an to the eldest sister. ββ
The thing is very simple, it's just a piece of paper folded into an animal, of course the letter red sleeves won't look at it, put it away and turn it back to the eldest sister.
She can't be excited now: Prince Lian is alive, and Prince Lian's family is alive, which is really good! She tried hard to calm herself, but her eyes were still slightly red, and her breathing was not stable.
"The princess is fine, isn't she?" Red Sleeves thought that when Aunt Shen and Lord Pingnan left, they didn't go to see their youngest daughter, let alone mention this eldest daughter who made her so unlucky at the moment: "Where are she and the prince now?"
The fourth master shook his head: "I don't know where the prince and his family are, the little prince of Jing'an didn't say; But the 1st concubine and the children are very good, and you don't have to worry too much about the sleeves. β
Red Sleeves nodded lightly: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." If people can survive, it is good; As for where Prince Lian's family is now. Whether the little prince of Jing'an knows it or not, it is impossible for him to say it casually.
She remembered Prince Lian's temperament, and shook her head lightly and smiled: How could such a smart-supreme person not leave a way out for himself-even if he didn't have it before, after the Queen Mother was critically ill, he should have noticed the emperor's abnormality, how could he just be restrained?
Prince Lian must have been preparing for a long time, but he was afraid that he still had a fantasy about the emperor, how could he be a family, thinking that the emperor could understand: Prince Lian, although he is extremely willful, but also extremely cherishing righteousness. β
He doesn't want the emperor to be so cold-blooded, right? Red Sleeves thought of what Prince Lian would feel like when he waited for the end, but waited for that cup of Heding Red: Emperor, it's too much.
It's all in the past, though; Whether Prince Lian is sad or not, the world will not see it; Red Sleeves believes that when he sees Prince Lian again, he will still be the same as before. No matter where Prince Lian's family is, as long as they live happily; Red Sleeves didn't think about it, he wanted Prince Lian to rebel and pull the emperor down to make him suffer: people, as long as they can be happy, it's fine.
Moreover, if Prince Lian wants to rebel, the world will oppose him and rebel; If Prince Lian didn't want to rebel, everyone in the world would recognize him as the emperor, and he wouldn't be moved if he begged him to rebel.
What Red Sleeves asked for was just a stable and happy little life, so although the emperor annoyed her greatly, she was still not interested in rebellion: of course it is good to be happy and revenge, but there must be a degree.
Rebellion is to kill people, not only those who die the emperor, but also those who will die themselves; One will return ten thousand bones, let alone pull the emperor off the horse; Redsleeves doesn't want to see his family, loved ones, or people he cares about hurt or die.
The fourth master also nodded: "Yes, it's good to be alive;" He remembered Shizan's words again: "Sleeve, you have to remember to tell the old marquis, you must wait for the news of the princes, and seal the back road of our house, just to calm the heart of Emperor Yi'an, and avoid any mistakes in the future." ββ
He paused for a moment and sighed for a long time: "The emperor is like this to our Shen family now, I'm afraid that he didn't really believe in our Shen family a few years ago, and maybe he had any preparations for it, if this is the case, I'm afraid that our Shen family's actions won't be able to hide it from the emperor; In my opinion, it is better to wait for the news of the prince, and it is safer.
Red Sleeves also nodded at this point, she had been faintly uneasy, that is, she was worried that the emperor was already worried about the Shen family, so it was impossible for him to do nothing; Although it is not easy to rely on others now, it is at least better than the back road arranged by the Shen family themselves.
After hearing the red sleeves' promise, the fourth master stood up: "Then I will go back one by one and can't stay for a long time, for fear that those Praetorian Guards or secret guards will find something suspicious; I still think that if there is anything going on with the prince of Jing'an in the future, I can come into the house again to report the news. β
He paused and looked at Red Sleeves, and said very sincerely: "Although I am no longer a member of the Shen family now, the Shen family and I are connected by blood and blood; If there is anything in the house, open your mouth; There is only me who can go over to the prince of Jing'an, since you think I am your fourth uncle, don't be polite to me. β
The red sleeves and eyes were slightly red, and he didn't say anything but was deeply blessed: on her behalf, on behalf of Shen Miaoge, on behalf of the people up and down the Shen family, he bowed to the ground to the ground in front of Shen Si.
No matter what Fourth Master Shen had done before, but now, who can say that he is not the Shen family, and the blood on his body is not the Shen family?
Fourth Master Shen helped Red Sleeves to come, and after a few more words, he lowered his head and withdrew: Red Sleeves can't be sent out, because Fourth Master Shen is just an ordinary housewife now. β
The four masters took the two clothes under the red sleeves, and did not shirk anything; And Red Sleeves did not mention that he wanted to give the fourth master money, which was an insult to the fourth master. The fourth master is now self-reliant and lives a good life, if the Shen family doesn't have an accident, he will live so happily for the rest of his life, he won't bother the Shen family, and he doesn't want the Shen family to bother him, right? But now he will stand up for the life and death of the Shen family, because he is the Shen family.
If you give silver money, then the red sleeves will be out with Shen Si Master; What Red Sleeves has to do is to beg the old marquis Shen to let the fourth master's family return to the Shen family: no one is wrong, at this time, he can do such a thing of lewdness for the Shen family, and the fourth master should also return to the Shen family.
The fourth master's move put his family's life on the line, and he wouldn't not know or understand; It's just for the Shen family, he let it go.
Look at the time, Old Marquis Shen and the others are about to return home; Red Sleeves cleaned up a little. Then he got up and went to see Mrs. Tai: wait there for Old Marquis Shen and others to come back.
What the fourth master said was extremely important, and Red Sleeves felt that it was a moment to say it earlier.
Red Sleeves and Mrs. Shen only said two or three words, and the grandfather and grandson of Old Marquis Shen went down to the court and returned home; The red sleeves immediately said the words of the fourth master: the source is the original, and none of them are missed.
After hearing this, Old Marquis Shen lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "Well, what the prince is worried about is very much; We didn't do anything immediately, and honestly stayed in Beijing waiting for news from the prince - let's see if the emperor would let us go of the Shen family because of this. β
Although Shen Miaoge was extremely happy to hear that Prince Lian was not dead, there was still anger on her face; Red Sleeves just thought about it and understood: "Is it that the emperor has reached the eldest sister again?"
Shen Miaoge nodded: "There is no major event in the court today, so I dispersed early; But the emperor called us to the imperial study again, and then talked about the sons and nephews of several princes and magnates, and praised those people as a flower, and asked us which one was good. β
Red Sleeves' face also sank, it had been more than a month, and the emperor finally couldn't wait.
"I see what the emperor means, if we don't pick one of these people, the emperor will marry in ten days and half a month." Shen Miaoge's face was a little gloomy, Prince Lian was not dead, of course the eldest sister could not marry someone else: "However, in my opinion, Shixia's person will not necessarily be the emperor, maybe the queen."
In this way, the emperor will not bear a bad reputation, and whether the Shen family agrees or disagrees, it will only be bad for the Shen family.
Red Sleeves didn't ask which families it was: Who could it be that the emperor chose? Although the emperor is still outwardly affectionate, in fact, he does not have too many scruples in acting.
The emperor is forcing the Shen family to see how the Shen family responds; Then, he also made up his mind: it is best for the Shen family to be annoyed.
Old Marquis Shen sighed for a long time: "Our eldest sister can't allow others to do so, whether it is a trick or not, she can't agree to this matter; If the emperor is guilty because of this, it will be really a slippery attack, of course, it will anger the emperor, and he will only find another excuse to act. β
"Stop and prepare to retreat, if the emperor really lets the secret guard stare at our Shen family, I think he will soon know about it; Maybe he'll be relieved and just let us hand over the military and we'll be fine. β
After speaking, he let out a long sigh: "It's just that in Beijing, a place of right and wrong, I really don't want to live anymore; What about you? β
Of course, Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge didn't want to stay in the capital anymore, and Marquis Shen couldn't wait to leave immediately: the Shen family had been guarding the emperor, but now the emperor was bent on getting rid of the Shen family; For the Shen family, if they stay in the capital, it will not only be meaningless, but also become a laughing stock.
They don't care, but they can't help but care for their ancestors: the ancestors of the Shen family, aren't they disappointed in today's royal family? Can they not care about those bad words? Especially those Shen family members who are on the battlefield, every time Shen Lao Houye thinks of it, his heart aches.
"Old marquis, fourth uncleββββ?" Red Sleeves opened her mouth gently, she couldn't help but say something on behalf of Fourth Master Shen.
Shen Miaoge also spoke: "Grandfather, in fact, the fourth uncle was also because of the fourth aunt back then......"
"I know, you don't have to say it;" Old Marquis Shen seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and he looked at Mrs. Tai: "Well, when he comes back next time, I want to see him."
Mrs. Tai, who had never spoken, said softly: "Blood is thicker than water, sir; I think the fourth child has already realized his mistake and has also been affected by one by one"
Old Marquis Shen waved his hand: "My son, who am I more distressed than me?" You don't have to talk about it, I'll wait until I meet him. β
The fourth master Shen has not come again, and the queen's marriage will was made: the eldest sister was pointed out to the second son of a county king; It's just that this county king has always been opposed to the Shen family - especially in the grasp of military power, their family is even more eager for the Shen family to fall and take the power into their own hands.
The third more. Anyway, it's really tiring to leave my relatives, and the children make me really headaches; I am even more determined to support the country's policy, saying that I only need one child.
