"Your Majesty, something is wrong." In the concubine's bedroom, the chief eunuch Wang Lianyi knocked on the door and called softly,

After getting a response, he immediately walked in.

Standing still behind the screen in the inner room, he pursed his lips before bowing his head and saying, "Your Majesty, the Criminal Department has come to spread the word that His Royal Highness the Seventh is gone." ”

Emperor Jianning on the couch hadn't slept yet, so he immediately sat up.

Concubine Xian frowned, and hurriedly stayed to wait for him to put on his shoes and put on his robe.

"Okay, why did the person have an accident, what are the people in the criminal department doing to eat?!"

Although the Seventh Prince committed the crime of great rebellion, Emperor Jianning never thought that this little son would suddenly disappear.

In fact, these days, he has not said how to deal with the Seven Princes, but he is not sure what to do.

I didn't expect the person to suddenly disappear.

Wang Lianyi hurriedly knelt down, "The emperor is angry, and the people in the criminal department said that it was a violent death." ”

"Sudden death?" Emperor Jianning's face was gloomy, "He has always been healthy, how could this be." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Seventh heard the news that the emperor had established your grandson, so he said" Wang Lianyi wanted to speak again and again, but did not dare to say it.

But Emperor Jianning also understood what was going on.

After a long silence, he took a long breath.

"That's it, pass on my will, and bury it according to the prince's etiquette, but don't enter the imperial mausoleum."

Wang Lianyi immediately kowtowed.

He knew that half of it was because the emperor was soft-hearted, and he couldn't bear to continue to criticize people too harshly when they died, and half because there were so many people who died during this period of time that he couldn't go on like this.

For example, King Yu, although he rebelled, he was indeed a great contributor to quelling the Yanhu Rebellion, and also recovered the lost land in Linzhou, and was the sibling brother of Emperor Jianning.

Died first brothers, and then sons, even if their deaths were all punishments in the laws of Beidi, but now governing the country pays more attention to the word benevolence and filial piety, and Emperor Jianning also has to care about his reputation.

Everyone is already dead, and no matter how harsh he is, people will inevitably think that he is too ruthless, and he will lose his benevolent demeanor.

When it doesn't affect the interests of the real government, the king cares about reputation.

Concubine Xian listened silently on the sidelines and did not speak.

Today's King Jin is no longer the time to be high-spirited in the past, and she, the biological mother, should also be restrained and low-key.

But this restraint was forced by helplessness, but it was not voluntary, so I hated the Seven Princes in my heart.

In Concubine Xian's opinion, if there were no seven princes who had to compete with King Jin, and in the end, they would lose both, and they would not let King Chen's son pick up the cheap.

Thinking of the injury on King Jin's left eye and the scar on his face, Concubine Xian longed to crush the bones of the Seventh Prince to ashes.

At that time, in the palace of the King of Jin, in Su Zhiyi's courtyard.

After the King of Jin, who stayed here, heard the news of the violent death of the Seven Princes, he was also silent for a long time.

There are accidents, but more often than not, the frustration and irritability of the great revenge that cannot be avenged in person.

"Lord Wang, beware of catching a cold." Su Zhiyi said softly and put a robe on him.

King Jin took her hand and softened his gaze.

"Your own body is not good, what are you going to do when you get up now, your hands are cold, go back and lie down."

Since returning to Beijing after being injured, Su Zhiyi has done his best to take care of him, which can be regarded as making King Jin's heart more and more warm.

Especially after King Jin knew that Su Zhiyi had a miscarriage, he had a gap in his heart towards Li Lingxi, the concubine, and Li Lingxi was not as enthusiastic about him as before because King Jin no longer had the throne, so now in the mansion, King Jin almost lives here with Su Zhiyi for a long time.

lost the right to inherit the throne, but no one cares about him, the prince's favored concubine and wife.

Su Zhiyi didn't say anything else, he was indeed sincere to King Jin, so he also enjoyed this two-person world.

At this moment, he leaned on the shoulder of King Jin shyly.

"The prince has something on his mind, and the concubine doesn't know how to share the worries of the prince, so she can only accompany the prince quietly."

"Knowledge." King Jin called in a low voice and sighed, "Now, I'm afraid that only you are really good to this king." ”

"The prince is the husband of the concubine, so he naturally hopes that everything will be fine with the husband." Su Zhiyi said softly.

These words made King Jin feel a lot of ironing in his heart, smiled, and led the person back to the inner room.

Don't worry, wait until all his injuries are healed, and then take your time.

When the Seventh Prince fought with him, it was the Xu family of the queen's lineage who supported him, and he didn't believe that King Chen could do it cleanly and not stain anything.

In this position, he has suffered such a big loss, and he must not let others get it easily.

The next day, after dawn, the news of the violent death of the Seven Princes in prison spread throughout Bianjing City.

In the private room of the restaurant, Shen Qianwei and Su Juning sat opposite each other, both of them looking silent.

"You went and saw him yesterday."

In the end, it was Su Junning who opened his mouth first.

"I went, and I drank." Shen Qianwei nodded, and then his eyes darkened a little, "He left suddenly, so much so that I was surprised." ”

Although he had known for a long time that the Seventh Prince would not escape death, he never thought that it would be a violent death.

The term is vague, but no one can ask what is going on.

Or maybe someone just wants the outside world to know about it.

Su Junning can also understand his loneliness.

After all, there is affection, although later because of the difference in concepts and positions between the two, there were differences and contradictions, and even more, so that they decided to cut off contact, but people can be ruthless, even if the enemy for many years is gone, there will be a little sigh, not to mention that they were former friends.

He poured a cup of tea for Shen Qianwei with his own hands, and said softly.

"The world is impermanent, I only hope that he will be born in an ordinary family in the next life, without disturbance, and be smooth and safe."

Shen Qianwei raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, exhaled lightly, and took Su Junning's hand.

"I know what he did wrong, people are always responsible for their own mistakes, this is already the case in this life, I hope it won't be like this again in the next life."

The Seventh Prince once attacked Su Juning, and Shen Qianwei also remembered this, saying a word at this time was to tell Su Junning that he was very clear in his heart, and he would not forget everything just because the person was gone.

Su Junning naturally understood what he meant, and also hooked the corners of her lips shallowly and nodded.

Then he asked again, "Is Yan Hu's envoy about to arrive in Bianjing?" At that time, there will be a state banquet in the palace. ”

"Well, the Ministry of Rites has almost prepared, and when the time comes, officials and their families above the third rank in the DPRK and China will go, and there will be additional names from the emperor, such as me, and several other generals who have conquered the west." Shen Qianwei responded.

His official position is the fourth grade, which is not enough level, although as Shen He's son, he can also go, but the extra name of Emperor Jianning is a different kind of value, and it is also an acknowledgment of his identity independent of Shen He.

Su Juning smiled and reached out to straighten his collar.

"It's a good thing that the emperor values you, you are now a serious and titled general, you should pay more attention to yourself, you are not wearing these clothes."

"Isn't that you?" The atmosphere relaxed, and Shen Qianwei also smiled and took Su Junning's hand and kissed it, "I really don't know how to take care of this, it's great to read a few more books, you have to marry me quickly, so that I can take care of the inner house." ”

Su Junning raised her eyebrows, "The wedding date has been set, and I am still poor." ”

"It's a day to be early." Shen Qianwei grinned.

The two were talking and laughing, Nan Su pushed the door and poked his head in, his eyes were shining, and he whispered with a thief's face.

"Miss, the slave has seen Marquis Min and Miss Wanyin!"
