Shen Sitang didn't know what he would face, it could be glory and wealth, or it could be the death of Huangquan.

She sighed sadly in her heart, is it so difficult for others to cross over?

——

Shen Sitang was taken to the gate of the palace, where a young eunuch waited for a long time.

The official led her forward and politely bowed her hand to the other party: "Father-in-law, this is Shen Sitang, the daughter of the criminal minister Shen Mingyi." ”

The eunuch bowed lightly, looked at Shen Sitang and said, "Don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time, go with the slave." ”

Shen Sitang answered yes, and followed the eunuch into the palace gate, and the official stopped outside the palace gate.

The 800-year history of the Yan Dynasty has not left too many traces in this palace, and the royal territory has been renovated all year round, so as not to wronged the royal relatives and nobles with noble blood.

As the daughter of the richest man, Shen Sitang is not curious about this palace, nor does she look at it, she is now more concerned about her own life.

Shen Sitang looked at the eunuch walking in front, chased a few steps closer, and asked tentatively: "Father-in-law, I don't know how Your Majesty is feeling today?" ”

Although the eunuch is young, he has also grown up in this palace since he was a child, what kind of person has never seen it, how can he not understand the meaning of Shen Sitang's words.

He didn't stop walking, didn't look at Shen Sitang, and said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty's mood, how can you and I be able to guess it?" ”

Shen Sitang smiled and nodded: "My father-in-law is right, I don't know what my father-in-law is called?" ”

When the eunuch heard this, he glanced sideways at Shen Sitang, the nobles who entered the palace on weekdays were all answered by him, how could anyone ever care about who he was, don't look at those nobles who were polite to him, he understood very well in his heart, but it was just superficial.

"Slave Xiang'an, Miss Shen, there are many people in the palace, don't say much."

Shen Sitang nodded, and said with sincerity in his eyes: "Thank you Xiang'an Gonggong for mentioning it." ”

This airtight palace, where palace guards can be seen everywhere, is indeed not a place to speak.

The two were silent all the way, and Shen Sitang followed Xiang'an around, passing through one palace after another, and finally came to the imperial study where Emperor Yongqing was.

"Miss Shen, wait a minute, let the slave report."

"Okay, there is Lao Xiang'an's father-in-law."

Xiang'an smiled kindly at Shen Sitang, and then stepped up the steps.

After a while, Xiang'an trotted back to Shen Sitang: "Miss Shen, Your Majesty has announced that you will enter the palace." After speaking, he lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty is not happy today, Miss Shen says more good things, Your Majesty loves to listen." ”

Xiang'an is reminding her.

Shen Sitang subconsciously remembered the Jun Ting Banquet, and his heart was really father and son.

She didn't say much, just bowed to Xiang'an, and then entered the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yongqing was practicing calligraphy, and beside him was an old eunuch with gray hair grinding.

Shen Sitang didn't look closely, and respectfully knelt down and bowed: "Shen Sitang, the daughter of the people, meet Your Majesty." ”

Her voice fell, no one responded in the imperial study, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a while, and the silence was terrifying.

Shen Sitang was kneeling in peace, she had never knelt down to anyone, she was constantly doing psychological construction for herself, following the customs, I want to open a little, and what is this grievance, when I get to this ghost place, there will be more opportunities to be wronged in the future, don't panic in small scenes, it's a big deal that he will be a good man again in 20 years!

"Look up."

Shen Sitang's inner drama has been sung for a round, and Emperor Yongqing finally remembered her.

She raised her head cautiously, and saw that Emperor Yongqing, who was not angry and arrogant, was looking at her with his eyebrows twisted, Shen Sitang sighed in his heart, Xiang'an was right, Emperor Yongqing seemed to be in a very bad mood, most of it was related to her.

It's no wonder that Emperor Yongqing issued an order to ask her father to behead, and the mansion of the criminal department was copied, but she found out the truth at this time and confirmed that the death of the third prince had nothing to do with her father.

"You are somewhat similar to General Chaoyang."

Shen Sitang's eyes lit up, the emperor seemed to attach great importance to her mother, so could she take advantage of this to find a way to live for herself.

She was trying to arouse Emperor Yongqing's pity, but she didn't expect that his previous words had not been finished.

I only heard Emperor Yongqing speak even more displeasedly: "If it weren't for you, my Chaoyang General would definitely be able to expand my territory!" ”

Shen Sitang's smile froze on her face, and she seemed to be one step closer to death.

Emperor Yongqing didn't even dare to say anything when he saw her, he just felt bored, lowered his eyes and continued to practice calligraphy, and when the last stroke was completed, he admired it to himself, and didn't care that there was still a person kneeling in the hall.

It seems that she doesn't want to go back alive today, I don't know how the emperor plans to kill her, whether to behead the public or divide the body of the five horses, or a thousand cuts? It can't be so cruel, right? In fact, she thinks that poisoned wine is very good, and it is best to drink it and die immediately, she has been afraid of pain since she was a child.

"Your Majesty's handwriting is really good, the pen is a dragon and a snake, vigorous and powerful!"

Emperor Yongqing listened to the old eunuch's flattery and laughed happily.

Shen Sitang subconsciously looked over, and happened to be looking at Emperor Yongqing, she hurriedly lowered her head again.

Emperor Yongqing seemed to be interested again: "I heard that you found out the cause of the death of the third prince." ”

Looks like she can still save it?

Shen Sitang had hope of life again, she pondered for a moment, and suddenly said loudly to Emperor Yongqing: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter knows that she deserves to die." ”

Emperor Yongqing's face remained unchanged, waiting for her next.

Shen Sitang secretly pinched her thigh, and her eyes were hazy with tears.

She was already born pleasing to the eye, and now she looks like she wants to cry, which can't help but make people feel pity.

Shen Sitang choked up and slowly spoke: "When the folk girl was a child, everyone told the folk girl that it was the folk girl who killed her mother, and an ominous person like the folk girl deserved to die, but fortunately, her father did not give up, raised the folk girl, and loved her very much, and now that her father is in trouble, how can the folk girl abandon it?" The people's daughter is bold and desecrates the body of the three princes, the people's daughter is willing to die, only begging His Majesty to have mercy and spare the life of the people's daughter's father, the father of the people's daughter is loyal to His Majesty, he is dedicated to His Majesty, and he is dedicated to the court, begging His Majesty to let him go for the sake of his lack of merit and hard work! ”

Emperor Yongqing stared at her with deep eyes: "Are you really not afraid of death?" ”

Shen Sitang shook his head: "The folk girl deserves to die, I just hope to meet her mother after she dies and say sorry to her, the folk girl was too young when she was born, she couldn't speak, and she couldn't apologize to her mother." ”

The implication is that it was not her intention to die of a biological mother in childbirth, she was still so young at the time, what did she know?

After listening to it, Emperor Yongqing felt that what he said before would be a bit too much if it didn't have you.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Since the death of the third prince has nothing to do with Shen Mingyi, I will pardon him, to..."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, Your Majesty is benevolent and kind, and you understand the righteousness so deeply, the people finally understand why their father and mother are so loyal to Your Majesty!" Before Emperor Yongqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by the excited Shen Sitang.

Shen Sitang's words seemed to be just a slap in the face, but in fact, she was reminding the emperor that her parents had contributed to the court, and if the emperor wanted to kill her, it would inevitably be chilling.

Emperor Yongqing felt that he was being put on the spot by Shen Sitang, but there was no evidence.

Moreover, since Shen Mingyi is not guilty, he has no reason to cut off his head, not only can he not cut off his head, but he must also be reinstated as an official and properly appeased.

If he wants to be appeased, how can he deal with his daughter? But if he doesn't deal with it, how can he be willing as an emperor!

——

The Mansion of the Six Princes.

In the study, Jun Tingyan sat in front of the bookcase, concentrating on carving jade carvings.

Zhou Zifu and Tang Yihui started a battle with their eyes, and in the end Tang Yihui was defeated, and he had no choice but to come out of the ranks, and said tentatively: "Your Highness, I heard that Miss Shen has been in the palace for a long time, and I am afraid that her life is in danger." ”

Jun Tingyan seemed to be dissatisfied with being disturbed, and frowned slightly: "What does it have to do with this hall?" ”
