2 Shi Ling squeezed her hand, as if to comfort her.

He said softly, "Go in, I'll be waiting for you outside." ”

From the beginning of the assassination to the present, Shen Xian's heart has not been stable, and even her legs are weak, and now she walks vainly.

The queen had just come out of the palace when she entered.

There were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she saw Shen Xian glaring dissatisfied, but it was estimated that the emperor who was resting in the inner hall had to leave in a huff.

Shen Xian lowered her head and didn't dare to look more, but she smelled a strong smell of medicine, as well as a rancid smell that belonged to the old man.

Emperor Hongzheng was already weak, and it was not easy to persist until he was now.

Shen Xian didn't dare to think about it anymore, standing behind the gauze tent, she could only vaguely see a weak figure on the dragon bed.

Thinking that not long ago, His Majesty was still majestic and domineering in front of people, but now it is like a cloud and mud, and he can only lie on the bed and wail and whine, waiting for the end of his life.

He half-opened a pair of yellow eyes and looked at the slender figure outside the gauze tent, and his voice was a little slurred, and he said weakly: "Yes... Shen Jia's Ah Xian? ”

"Meet Your Majesty, may Your Majesty's dragon body be safe and healthy as soon as possible."

The emperor didn't care what she said, he turned to the side and stretched out his hand to greet her, "Come in and talk, cough cough!" ”

Shen Xian raised her head and opened the gauze tent and walked in, only to see the emperor suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood, so frightened that Shen Xian hurriedly found a handkerchief and handed it over, but the emperor's face was much better, and he spoke neatly.

"Scared?"

Shen Xian didn't dare to speak, just lowered her head.

Emperor Hongzheng took the handkerchief in her hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said in a deep voice: "You have also seen that my time is running out. ”

"Your Majesty is blessed with heaven, and you will definitely live a hundred years."

Emperor Hongzheng frowned: "You don't have to say these words, I didn't want to hear these things when I asked you to come in." ”

He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Shen Xian's wrist, looked at her with a firm look, and said, "I have always been a spy by my side, and the black blood I vomited just now is poisonous blood, I don't believe it anymore, I can't believe it anymore." ”

Shen Xian had goosebumps all over her body, and she didn't understand what the emperor was talking to herself.

"You must be curious why I want to see you alone, right?"

Shen Xian's voice trembled: "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear." ”

The emperor smiled, let go of her hand and lay back on the pillow, and said slowly: "Your father Shen Chongyuan is talented, but your father is also very stupid, so I give him status and reputation, so that others look up to him, but do not give him real power, so that your Shen family is the person I trust the most, because you will never be able to turn the sky." ”

Shen Xian listened quietly and didn't speak, but she was panicking in her heart thinking about what Emperor Hongzheng was going to say, and her hands were twisted together.

Scolding your father in front of your daughter?

"I know that my third child is not pure-minded, and he will definitely make some moves after I leave, but he can only inherit orthodoxy if he finds one thing, and I will hand over that thing to you, you must keep it and give it to him when the crown prince ascends the throne."

Shen Xian's blood all over her body stagnated.

He looked up in astonishment.

The emperor's eyes looked at her for a moment when they were no longer cloudy, but Shen Xian wanted to escape, those eyes were too firm, as if Shen Xian couldn't leave here if she didn't agree today.

She subconsciously shook her head: "No, I... I am only a woman, how dare I be entrusted by His Majesty. ”

"It's not a commission."

Emperor Hongzheng took a long breath: "I am begging you, only you can, you are Ziqing's wife, you care about him, you will definitely help him." ”

"So you can find Ziqing, you still have the crown prince, and the minister of civil and military affairs, I..."

Shen Xian didn't want to get into this troubled water at all.

But Emperor Hongzheng suddenly sat up with a sigh of relief, he gasped slightly, and now he looked at Shen Xian with a weak expression after being strong for half his life.

Said weakly: "Ziqing I believe it, but I have put enough burden on him, don't look at him listening to me on weekdays, but in fact, in his bones he has never been a brother to me, all he wants is that the world is peaceful, no one is hungry, there are no more beggars on the street, everyone can coexist in harmony, this is what I have been coaxing him to do." ”

Coax?

That means these are liars?

The emperor smiled at her displeased expression: "In this world, the law of the jungle is the strong, some people are bent on progress, some people are willing to fall and have no desires, some people are rich and clothed, and some people are starving to death on the streets, although I am the king of a country, but I need those corrupt officials in your eyes to help me stabilize the court, I need their money to expand the treasury, and I need those military generals who oppress the people to stabilize the country for me." ”

Emperor Hongzheng would never have been able to say these words to Shi Ling.

The world in Shi Ling's heart where everyone can eat and everyone is equal is too ridiculous in his eyes, there are so many wicked people in the world, but the benefits brought by the wicked are innumerable.

What can those ant-like poor people bring to this country except for one life?

This is the number of personal lives.

Shen Xian opened her mouth slightly, plucking up the courage to refute, but was stopped by Emperor Hongzheng raising his hand.

"I know you have your reasons, but what I can take into account when I get to this position is this court."

He said with a self-deprecating smile.

Maybe it's also laughing at his incompetence and short-sightedness.

"As for the crown prince, he is still immature and needs the assistance of others, I just want you to help him and help him sit in that position."

Shen Xian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Emperor Hongzheng poked his heart every word, telling Shen Xian that she had to accept it.

Although she had the heart to refuse, she had been involved in this battle for the throne since she married Shi Ling, how could she retreat at this time?

And if she doesn't accept it, this task will most likely fall on Shi Ling.

As Emperor Hongzheng said, the burden on Shi Ling's body is heavy enough.

Although Shen Xian is now complicated in her heart, she complains that he doesn't tell her anything, and at the same time, she loves him and feels sorry for him.

But she loved him even more.

"Okay, I promise you, but you'll have to tell me what you're up to."

She didn't want to be a gunman for no reason.

Since she wants to stand on the same battlefield as Shi Ling, at least tell her who the enemy is and how to fight side by side with him.

Emperor Hongzheng's face was relieved, and he smiled with his spirit: "Then you come with your ears." ”

Shen Xian stayed in the Golden Dragon Hall for more than an hour, and many people began to look at Shi Ling worriedly.

One is Emperor Dacheng and the other is the daughter-in-law of his own brother, who has been in the same room for so long, and he can't help but reverie Feifei.

When the door of the hall opened, Shen Xian walked out expressionlessly, but the moment she saw Shi Ling, her heart suddenly throbbed.

Her steps quickened, and she grabbed his hand: "Let's go home." ”

Shi Ling looked at her dependence on herself, and although she didn't know what the imperial brother said to her, she still nodded: "Okay." ”
