Seeing Qiushuang shaking her head and saying that she didn't know, Shi Yu didn't doubt it.

Empress Dowager Lin didn't know about this matter at first, but she believed it.

Although they are brother and sister, Empress Dowager Lin and Lin Zhenghong do not trust each other completely, and it is normal for each other to hide from each other.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that Lin Zhenghong was actually involved in the affairs of Li Changqing and Nie Zhixuan.

In the previous confrontations, although the other party had various calculations, she suffered losses again and again, so that she didn't take Lin Zhenghong too seriously.

But now that I think about it, it was indeed her carelessness.

After all, he has been in the court for many years, and he has sat in the position of the secretary of the military department, how can Lin Zhenghong not have some skills.

At least to be able to hide this matter and secretly contact Li Changqing, it is not simple.

"Your Majesty, the slave knows that she has made a big mistake by deceiving the emperor, and she does not dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness. The slave just wants to know that the slave's child is really ......"

Qiu Shuang didn't finish the rest of the words, and the emotions that had finally calmed down turned out of fear again at this moment, but there was still a bit of expectation in her eyes.

I hope that what I said just now is just lying to myself, and her son is still alive and well.

Shi Yu was silent for a moment, but still spoke: "You have been arrested, even if you don't explain everything, we can guess who is behind it." So there's no need for the Overseer to lie to you, and even if he did, it would be better to say that the child is now in our hands. ”

Shi Yu's words were like a needle, which suddenly pierced the little hope that had finally risen in Qiu Shuang's heart.

She sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and her whole person seemed to have lost her soul all of a sudden, and she was much older.

Shi Yu's heart swelled with a touch of unbearability, but he also understood that the facts could not be changed.

"I will take you back to the palace, and you can ask the queen mother in person."

"What about the conditions?" Qiushuang raised her head, looked at Shi Yu, and said weakly, "The emperor should have conditions." ”

Shi Yu nodded, "The condition is that you send the message back, just say that when you hid in the shadows and stabbed Nie Zhaoyi with a poisonous needle, I was unfortunately hit, and now I am in danger." ”

Qiushuang's words alone are not enough to prove that Lin Zhenghong and Li Changqing colluded to deliberately sabotage disaster relief with the intention of killing the prince.

It's better to deceive, she wants to see what Lin Zhenghong will do if the news of her danger spreads back.

And by Qiushuang's message, the Lin family can believe it even more.

Qiushuang smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, the slave maid doesn't want to live anymore, why do you think that the slave maid will help you deliver the message." ”

Shi Yu stared into Qiu Shuang's eyes and shook his head slightly.

"Aunt Frost, you don't want to die yet."

If just now, she was sure that Qiushuang would not do stupid things, because she still had a trace of expectation that her child would live.

So now, the desire to survive in her autumn frost eyes is probably to question the Empress Dowager Lin and ask for a truth and fairness.

After a long time, Qiushuang finally gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, slave and maid send a message!" ”

In the middle of the night, the news of Shi Yu's assassination and injuries in the government office spread.

Originally, at the celebration banquet, Shi Yu and Jing Heng did not show up, and they also passed the word to let the banquet go as usual, Cai Sen already felt uneasy, worried about whether he had annoyed the emperor and the overseer, and they took the opportunity to beat themselves.

Now that I heard the news again, I was so frightened for a while that I couldn't care about my demeanor, and I almost rushed to the outside of Shi Yu's room.

As a result, he was naturally stopped, but seeing that although Jing Heng's face was full of worry, he didn't mean to blame, and he was slightly relieved.

In the next two days, Shi Yu did not show up, and the news announced to the public was that the emperor was injured and needed to recuperate.

Two days later, on the grounds that Quanzhou lacked medicinal materials and needed to return to the palace, Shi Yu and his party set off to return to the imperial city.

It's just that the matter of leaving was also quietly arranged, and when Cai Sen got the news, Shi Yu was already in the carriage.

"The news that I haven't shown up has been reported back to the imperial city, coupled with the news sent out by Qiushuang, it should be enough to convince Lin Zhenghong that my situation is indeed not good, and I am in danger." Shi Yu leaned lazily on the cushion and opened his mouth while eating oranges.

Jing Heng looked at Shi Yu with doting eyes, "Weichen has already sent a message back, mobilized manpower to monitor the mansions of the ministers, and then deliberately leaked some news to let Lin Zhenghong know." ”

"In this way, there is really a mountain rain coming, and the wind and clouds are suddenly changing." Shi Yu smiled and spoke, thought for a while and said, "Overseer, you said that if something really happens to me, how many people in the court can care about my safety from the bottom of their hearts?" ”

For the courtiers, whether his puppet emperor is dead or alive should have no meaning except for influencing the court situation.

"Does the emperor care about this?" Jing Heng looked at Shi Yu, and there was a little more expectation in his eyes.

He hoped that Nie Shiyu would care about this matter.

It's just that Shi Yu shook his head.

"It's just a casual question, there's nothing to care about, what they think has nothing to do with me, and ......"

Shi Yu laughed, his eyebrows and eyes were lazy and transparent.

"Aside from the point of affecting the government, my life and death really don't matter to them."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, a dark color was crossed, and Jing Heng said: "Weichen doesn't think so, the courtiers' recognition of the emperor may be far more than the emperor imagined. ”

Shi Yu was stunned, looked at Jing Heng's serious appearance, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Overseer, it may be okay to put this on yourself, but it's really not appropriate to put it on me."

After all, putting aside the fact that eunuchs interfere in politics, Jing Heng is indeed very good at handling government affairs, and as for himself, he is just a waste wood with a lot of words in the number of words.

Jing Heng didn't refute, but after looking at Shi Yu for a while, he chuckled and said wait and see.

Shi Yu didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and on the way back to the imperial city, she acted quite cautiously, even if she occasionally appeared in front of others, she still looked weak.

When we arrived at the Imperial City, it was just noon, and the carriage traveled all the way to the entrance of the Imperial Palace.

The courtiers who received the news in advance were already waiting at the palace gate.

Seeing the carriage arrive, many courtiers hurriedly stepped forward.

"I've seen the emperor, I've seen the overseer."

Through the curtain, Jing Heng said, "All stand down, don't disturb." ”

However, the courtiers did not immediately retreat.

"Overseer, we have the courage to see the emperor."

Jing Heng raised his eyebrows, his expression remained unchanged, but his tone became cold, "The emperor is unwell, how can I let you disturb." ”

A cold and dissatisfied voice came from the carriage, and many courtiers shuddered.

However, there are still some people who do not give up.

"The overseer forgives my sins, if we can't see the emperor, we really can't feel at ease."

Jing Heng looked sideways at Shi Yu.

The latter had already prepared for it, and opened a corner of the curtain, revealing a face that was pale and weak after being dressed.

Shi Yu thought that the courtiers insisted on meeting each other because they wanted to confirm their own situation and know what to do.

But I didn't expect that after opening the curtain, I was met with a really worried gaze......
