The Emperor's brow furrowed imperceptibly.

What's going on today?

Sons came one by two.

"Let him in."

The sound of the wheelchair sounded, and Shen Rumo came slowly: "The son of the emperor to meet his father." ”

"Don't be polite, you're not well, you should rest more, have you been better lately?"

The emperor was kind and pleasant, and his tone was much softer.

Shen Ruhan lowered his eyes: "Thank you father, my son is much better." I entered the palace today to make a defense map around the capital. Father, you know, that's what the son does. ”

His expression was gloomy, and the emperor dared to feel uncomfortable: "Don't talk nonsense, when you are well, I will have more places to use you." ”

Shen Ruhan smiled lightly, and turned his head to look at Shen Ruhan: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also here, what is this?" ”

"A gift from the crown prince."

"That's a coincidence, His Royal Highness the Prince, the younger brother also wants to open his eyes, don't you mind?"

Shen Ruhan's eyes flashed with hatred, and a smile appeared on his face: "How come?" The seventh brother is well-informed, don't laugh at me for not being able to handle this thing. ”

He said goodbye and opened the box with his own hands.

He thought that even if it wasn't a rare treasure, it wouldn't be far off.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened it, a smell of blood came to my face!

He was shocked, and before he could understand it, his eyes flickered, and he felt that something hit his head hard.

With a bang, his head was knocked open, and he screamed in pain, almost fainting.

He was terrified in his heart, and he never imagined that it was a living creature inside!

The emperor was also taken aback, and the great eunuch shouted: "Come on, escort!" Escort! ”

The guards of the Praetorian Army guarding outside rushed in a large group, their swords drawn, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed for a while.

The emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying: "Prince! What are you doing here? Attempted to stab? ”

Shen Ruhan's soul was about to fly, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard the emperor's reprimand, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Father!" Erchen didn't dare, Erchen didn't mean to. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the person in the box, and when he saw that it was Niu Zhongli, his mind went blank.

Niu Zhongli?!

How could it be him? Why is he in the box?

Shen Ru cold sweat instantly wet his back, and there were countless words in his head, but none of them could explain that Niu Zhongli was put into a box and he was brought to the study.

"Prince, I'm still waiting for you to explain."

"Father, son...... Erchen wants to ......"

Shen Rumo suddenly spoke: "Father, the son knows this person." ”

"Oh? Who is he? ”

"This person has some backgrounds, and my father should have heard of his name, the famous general of Qiyang-Niu Zhongli."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is he Niu Zhongli? The right-hand man of the Khitan prince? ”

"Exactly," Shen Rumo smiled but didn't smile, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I really didn't expect that my brother has been on the battlefield for many years, and he has never arrested this person, but today I let you catch him." ”

Shen Ruhan: "......"

Shen Rumo made a look of sudden realization: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means to give this Niu Zhongli as a gift to his father?" ”

Shen Ruhan's heart moved slightly, and for now, this is the most reasonable explanation.

He hated and hated, but he also followed the reason given by Shen Ruhan and said: "Father! Erchen really thought so, this Niu Zhongli infiltrated Kyoto, there must be an ulterior secret, Erchen worked hard to take him down, for fear of being recognized by his other comrades, so he put it in a box. ”

The emperor looked at Niu Zhongli, this person was burly, full of brute force, his eyes were round, his face was full of blood, and his mouth was blocked with something, and he didn't know what he was whining.

His face was full of disgust: "Hmph, such a barbarian is also worthy of entering our country to spy on the national situation, it is really an unforgivable sin!" Take him down and interrogate him about what he wants! ”

Shen Ruhan's heart was slightly relieved, and Shen Rumo said again: "Father, Niu Zhongli is extraordinary, he must know a lot of Khitan situations, and his sons seem to have a lot to say about him, so why don't you let him say it clearly?" ”

The emperor thought about it for a while, and was shocked in his heart, if Niu Zhongli was allowed to say it here, he might not be able to say something!

Now Niu Zhongli looks like he can't tear him up, and maybe he will shake off the agreement between him and the Khitan prince.

When the time comes, he will never recover!

Shen Ruhan immediately said: "Father, this person is cruel and cunning, and he must not be allowed to do anything wrong in the Shang study." ”

"Nonsense?" Shen Rumo shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, right?" There are so many forbidden army guards, this guy is tied up again, his father is wise and martial, are you still afraid that he won't succeed? ”

Shen Ruhan was so angry that he was angry: "War King! Don't talk nonsense, do you want to put your father's safety at risk? What are your intentions? ”

Shen Rumo looked at him angrily, a cold light flashed in his eyes, it seems that Bai Yunqian is right, Shen Ruhan is in a hurry.

Shen Rumo turned his head to look at the emperor: "Father, the son has no intentions, but he just thinks that Niu Zhongli's identity is not ordinary, and there must be something important in the capital, which should be tried by the father." ”

After he finished speaking, he flicked his fingers and knocked the thing from Niu Zhongli's mouth.

Niu Zhongli relieved his breath, and stared at Shen Ruhan with blood-red eyes: "Shen Ruhan, you despicable villain!" Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really blind and ...... with you."

"Phew!"

Niu Zhongli's eyes widened, but he couldn't say a word anymore.

His throat was cut by a waist knife, blood splattered, and Shen Ruhan in front of him was sprayed all over his face.

Shen Rumo's eyes shrank suddenly: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" What do you mean by that? In front of his father, he actually committed murder! ”

Shen Ruhan threw away the knife he had snatched from the forbidden army, and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Father!" Shen Ruhan kowtowed vigorously, "Erchen didn't mean to commit murder, but this person is really cruel, he was arrested by Erchen, and he was determined to say nothing in his rage, Erchen didn't want his foul words to dirty your ears, and he was in a hurry, so he ...... Please punish the Emperor! ”

The emperor's face was cloudy, and he held the red pen in his hand: "Punishment? If a man is dead, what is the use of me in chastising you? ”

"Father! Erchen is willing to make meritorious service for his crimes, and check whether there are still his comrades in Jingzhong, and arrest them together. ”

The emperor didn't say a word, but squinted at him.

Shen Ruhan's forehead hit the ground, his heart was beating together, Niu Zhongli's blood was still on his face, and he didn't want to ...... I just don't have a choice.

The study fell into an eerie silence.

At this time, a eunuch from outside came to report: "Back to the emperor, the pure concubine Niangniang is outside to ask to see." ”

The Emperor snorted faintly.

Concubine Chun walked in quickly with a food box in her hand, and was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene.

Seeing Shen Ruhan kneeling again, Shen Rumo was also there, and his heart was even more uneasy.

"Your Majesty."

She saluted and was about to speak, when the emperor spoke: "Concubine Chun, you came just in time, look at the prince's gift to me." ”
