Su Yi did not break his promise.

After the two ministers left, he called Su Junning to his study.

It's just that the answer Su Junning got from him was also the same as what Nan Su said, but there were more details.

For example, the person in charge of the link that caused the problem with the salt tax was under the command of King Chen.

For another example, the reason why Shen Qianwei was ambushed was because someone around him betrayed him.

After listening to these news, Su Juning only felt that for a moment, the strings all over his body were tensed, as if they would break and collapse at any time.

Yesterday, she was still embroidering her wedding dress, and she joked that she wanted to make herself a mandarin duck pillow, but today she learned that Shen Qianwei's life and death were uncertain, and she had been hiding it from her for many days.

The blood faded from his face little by little, and Su Junning only felt that his throat was tight.

Try to keep your mind steady and ask difficult questions.

"Haven't you heard anything about him in the past two days?"

"Not yet." Su Yi shook his head, but he couldn't bear it in the end, but he still persuaded, "Don't worry too much, he is also a person who picked up his life on the battlefield, he will definitely not have an accident so easily, no one has been found yet, and everything is still inconclusive." ”

Su Junning nodded mumu, as if comforting himself and like persuading.

"Yes, everything is still undecided, he will be fine."

After saying that, he stood up, didn't say anything about leaving, and left dejectedly.

Looking at his daughter's back, Su Yi's eyes were full of distress, he squeezed his fists, and finally didn't say anything more.

After returning to the Tibetan Jade Pavilion, Su Junning said that he would go to the White Jade Temple today to pray for blessings and incense.

Nan Su couldn't resist her, so she had to agree.

In front of the Buddha statue, Su Junning knelt down devoutly, hoping that the gods and Buddhas could really protect Shen Qianwei's life.

It's powerless, but it's the only thing she can do now.

After returning home, it was due to heart disease, but the wind and cold recurred, and the fever started again.

The people in the mansion hurriedly went to invite Lang Zhong to come back and see, and there was a shortage of soldiers in the Tibetan Jade Pavilion.

And outside at that time, King Chen's Mansion.

In the study, King Chen was looking at the excerpts, and after hearing the knock on the door, he put down the work in his hand and took a sip of tea.

"Come in."

"See the prince."

A man dressed as an ordinary person appeared in the study and saluted.

"Tell me something." King Chen glanced at him.

The man gave up his hand, and then said, "The subordinates stared at the Su Mansion today, and found that the fourth lady of the Su family went out to the Baiyu Temple to pray for incense. ”

After he finished reporting, a dark light flashed in King Chen's eyes.

Then he asked, "What about the Shen family." ”

"Mrs. Shen washed her face with tears and was depressed all day long, and General Shen took leave to accompany her at home." The man replied.

After hearing this, King Chen slowly raised his head, his fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop, thoughtfully.

"It seems that this time Shen Qianwei is indeed more than lucky."

Shen Qianwei's errand was arranged by Emperor Jianning when he was not yet ill, and at that time, King Chen had no way to stop him, so he had to let him go.

Later, Emperor Jianning fell ill, and King Chen immediately sent someone to hinder Shen Qianwei from investigating the case.

Originally, I didn't think of killing Shen Qianwei, after all, a young and promising person like Shen Qianwei is also a pure minister, and he can be trusted when the grandson ascends the throne in the future, and it is possible to keep it.

But often the plan can't keep up with the changes, and there is such a big deviation.

Obviously, the man who came to report the news knew what King Chen was thinking, so he took the initiative to ask at this time.

"Lord Wang, do we need to send someone to find it too, if we can sell the Shen family a favor at this moment, it will definitely be beneficial."

"Not necessarily."

To his surprise, King Chen refused without hesitation.

Then, in his puzzled eyes, King Chen's gaze fell on a fold in front of him.

"Father and Emperor Long are sick, the most important thing for this king at the moment is to take care of the affairs of the court and the central government for his father, so as not to worry about government affairs and not be able to recuperate with peace of mind, and the rest is not important."

"Without the Shen family, and the Yang family, this king's uncle is not much worse than Shen Qianwei."

The subordinate standing in front of him did not refute, his eyes quickly swept over the letter, and he vaguely saw the words Pingyangbo.

The next day, after King Chen presided over the morning court, he went to the palace of Emperor Jianning.

When he came, Emperor Jianning was being served by someone to drink medicine.

"Princess, let me come." King Chen stepped forward.

took the candied fruit box from Wang Lianyi's hand and handed it to Emperor Jianning.

He has broken his arm for many years, and now he holds one hand very steadily.

Emperor Jianning didn't speak, twisted a golden silk date and put it in his mouth, and first went to remove the bitterness in his mouth.

After a short pause, he spoke.

"What is the big deal in the DPRK today?"

"Not really." King Chen said calmly, "Erchen just came to see his father today, and I heard the imperial doctor say that my father's condition has improved slightly, and I think it is the queen mother and grandson who are praying outside the palace, which has been effective." ”

When he said this, Yu Guang observed Emperor Jianning's expression, but unfortunately he didn't capture the information he wanted.

Emperor Jianning's face was sallow from the pain, and he was weak to speak.

"The queen and Hao'er are sincere, is it because I am old, my health is not as good as before, but I am tired, you have to take care of it in many places, how is your marriage arranged?"

"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are ready, and my father doesn't have to worry." King Chen lowered his eyes.

It's like a good child.

Emperor Jianning nodded, his eyes moved, "The matter of salt tax, how is the investigation, is there any news coming back?" ”

"Thinking that everything is going well, General Xiao Shen did not send a message back to Beijing." King Chen.

Hearing this, Emperor Jianning's gaze quickly swept over King Chen, and then he coughed violently.

Wang Lianyi hurriedly stepped forward to hand over the hot tea, and patted his back again, with a worried face.

"The emperor is sick with the dragon's body, it is really not suitable to work on state affairs, everything has His Royal Highness King Chen, the emperor should take care of his body first."

Emperor Jianning drank half a cup of tea before his cough stopped.

With a long exhale, he smiled wryly.

"That's it, I'm old and useless, you can go."

This was said to King Chen.

King Chen immediately nodded, and said a few words to let Emperor Jianning recuperate, and then got up to leave.

After he left, Emperor Jianning was about to lie down and rest, and Wang Lianyi retired everyone in the dormitory, and only served by himself.

"The queen is not here, and I can't go to the court, King Chen is really busy now, and the palace of the previous dynasty is all grabbed."

Emperor Jianning looked at the pattern of the golden dragon piercing the clouds on the top of the tent, and his eyes were deep.

Wang Lianyi tucked the corners of the quilt for him and said in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness King Chen is filial, Xu wants to share more worries for the emperor and the queen, and doesn't want to bother the emperor with things outside, King Chen is a filial son and a loving father, and he teaches His Royal Highness the grandson on weekdays, and he also does it himself."

"Yes, what I want to hear now, what I shouldn't hear, it's up to him." A trace of coldness crossed Emperor Jianning's face.

Wang Lianyi bowed his head, but he didn't dare to answer this time.
