When Shen Yi arrived at the palace, the emperor was not in Ganlu Hall, but in Deqing Hall.
After Shen Yi stepped into the back hall of Deqing Hall, he saw Queen Sun just walking out of the emperor's bedroom. Behind Queen Sun were all the concubines in the harem.
When Shen Yi saw this, he couldn't help but frown.
Previously, no matter what happened to the emperor, the concubines in the harem, including Empress Sun, were unaware of it, and the emperor did not allow them to get close to him. But now, it is obvious...
They already know.
Shen Yi took a deep breath, stepped forward to greet her and said, "I, Chen Yi, have met the Queen."
"I have met you ladies."
Queen Sun looked at Shen Yi and sighed slightly: "Master Shen is here."
Shen Yi nodded lightly and asked: "Empress, Your Majesty, what's wrong with him?"
"This afternoon, when I was admiring chrysanthemums in the Royal Garden."
Empress Sun frowned and said, "You suddenly fainted, which frightened me. The imperial doctors treated me for a long time. Your Majesty finally woke up when it got dark."
"No, as soon as His Majesty woke up, he asked Lord Shen to come over."
Speaking of this, Empress Sun sighed: "My heart has been beating wildly all afternoon today. Now that Your Majesty finally woke up and saw the Marquis again, I feel a little relieved. "
"Master Shen..."
Empress Sun said slowly: "I won't say anything else, just go in."
Shen Yi responded and looked at Concubine Hui standing behind Empress Sun.
It had been a long time since we had seen Concubine Hui, and now she had lost her former grace. She looked haggard, and her eyes seemed to have lost their luster.
Seemingly aware that Shen Yi was looking at her, Concubine Hui raised her head and glanced at Shen Yi. Their eyes met, and Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and walked towards the emperor's chamber.
At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor had woken up and was leaning on the bed, looking forward silently.
Shen Yi stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."
The emperor finally came back to his senses, turned to look at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Sit down and talk."
Shen Yi responded, found a small bed, and sat beside the emperor's bed.
His Majesty the Emperor gave Eunuch Xiao a sign, and Eunuch Xiao immediately led his people and left the dormitory. After a while, only the emperor and his ministers were left.
The emperor sighed silently and said, "I can't hide it anymore."
Shen Yi was silent.
I really can't hide it anymore.
In the past, even though everyone knew that the emperor's health seemed to be poor, because the relevant information was kept strictly confidential, except for Shen Yi, everyone else in the court could only know about the situation of Scale Claw.
No one knew what the emperor's body was like, but with this layer of mystery, the people in the court could still maintain a sense of awe towards the emperor, and would not cause trouble.
But now, the emperor fainted in front of his concubines and palace people, so this matter could never be hidden.
Perhaps while the emperor was still sleeping, some relevant news spread out of the palace and outside.
Shen Yi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want me to go ahead and block the news? Now I will lead the Di Reporting Department and cooperate with Marshal Lu so that the news will not spread on a large scale."
"No need."
The emperor shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I already know everything I need to know by now."
Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "I'm afraid I feel that I will die soon."
Shen Yi remained silent.
The emperor closed his eyes and said silently: "Just now, I have thought about this matter over and over again. I called Shen Qing here mainly for one thing."
He turned to look at Shen Yi. Although there was no third person present, he still lowered his voice subconsciously: "Do you want to secretly tell me to return to the capital?"
Shen Yi thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be secretly issued. There is no clear decree from the imperial court. After His Royal Highness returns to the capital, even if he succeeds him, the future history books will not explain it clearly. No one knows how he came back."
"Moreover…"
Shen Yi looked at the emperor and said silently: "Your Majesty has made up his mind?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "I am still a little hesitant, but my heart is still more towards the fourth child. The third child is in charge during this period, Shen Qing has also seen it."
"No idea."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said: "With his temperament, if he becomes a king in the future, he will probably be manipulated by others if he is not manipulated by the Sun family."
Shen Yi whispered: "But the prince has not made any big mistakes so far."
The emperor looked up at Shen Yi and whispered: "I want him to make a mistake, but he will make a mistake at any time."
Shen Yi was startled and asked: "Your Majesty means... to frame the blame?"
The emperor shook his head slightly: "How could I do this to my own son?"
He looked at Shen Yi and said slowly: "As long as I send people to Jiangdu, call the fourth child back, and issue an official notice, I will let the fourth child return to Yanjing to marry your daughter."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi and said silently: "Shen Qing, tell me, can he sit still?"
Shen Yi thought carefully and then said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a somewhat weak character. If he were to make his own decisions, he would probably not dare to do anything extraordinary, but if someone is instigating him behind his back..."
"Then it's hard to say."
The emperor nodded silently: "I just want to see if he has his own opinions."
"I will send someone to Jiangdu tomorrow, and at the same time issue a decree to confer marriage."
As he said that, he looked at Shen Yi and said, "Is the fourth child still alive and well after being in Jiangdu for more than half a year?"
"It's very peaceful. Apart from frequent visits to Ganquan Academy, I haven't heard of anything else."
The emperor said "hmm" and slowly exhaled.
"Then do it my way."
Shen Yi thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone south in a few days? I will first send someone to test the character of His Majesty the Fourth Highness."
"How's the training going..."
The emperor looked at Shen Yi: "How to try?"
Mr. Shen said softly: "Your Majesty, I have a staff member who has been with me for more than ten years. Let him go to Jiangdu to find His Highness the Fourth Prince..."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi's voice became even lower.
After a few words, the emperor nodded silently and said: "Then let's do it."
Mr. Shen stood up and bowed his head in salute.
"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body."
The emperor looked up at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "After this incident, if the prince wants to take action, he can only do it to two people, either me or the fourth child..."
"Let's see if he wants his father or kills his brother..."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will arrange everything."
The emperor nodded and forced a smile: "I am naturally relieved, otherwise, I would not invite Shen Qing alone today."
Having said this, he paused and continued: "Shen Qing, don't forget what we said before."
Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "I dare not forget. I will try my best to protect His Highness and Concubine Hui."
…………
Three days later.
Li Zhun, dressed in Tsing Yi, quickly arrived at Jiangdu Mansion.
He is originally from Jiangdu Prefecture. After returning to Jiangdu, he just felt like a fish in the sea, very free and comfortable.
After wandering around Jiangdu Street and buying some square cakes from his hometown, he found out where Prince Wu's Mansion was. He went straight to the back door of Prince Wu's Mansion and took out a waistband engraved with the word "Chen" from his pocket.
Soon, King Wu Li Jian invited him to the main hall of the palace to speak.
After Li Zhun entered the main hall, he said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, please drive back the people around you."
Hearing his Jiangdu accent, Prince Wu hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and asked the servants to retreat.
After everyone left, Li Zhun lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is seriously ill."
"The Marquis has asked me to return to Jiangdu to see you. I am going to secretly take you back to Yanjing and be ready to take your place at any time."
King Wu Li Jian stared at Li Zhun with wide eyes, then frowned and shouted: "You guy, where did you come from to be a liar! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the capital, and you still want to come and deceive me!"
Li Zhun shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Your Highness, keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"
"It is precisely because the prince is in the capital that we have to go to the capital secretly. You have forgotten that the Marquis is now in the court and can dominate almost all the courtiers..."
Li Jian sat where he was, looking at Li Zhun suspiciously, his expression uncertain.
Li Zhun said softly: "If your highness doesn't believe it, I have an autographed letter from the Marquis, but after your highness reads it, he will burn it immediately."
Li Jian stretched out his hand: "Take it and take a look."
Li Zhun handed over the letter. After Li Jian opened it and read it, his expression became even more gloomy: "It is indeed the handwriting of Lord Shen, but there is no seal."
Li Zhun shook his head and said: "Your Highness, how could the Marquis leave a sealed letter for such a thing?"
Prince Wu stood up and looked at Li Zhun.
"Unless there is an imperial edict, I will never leave Jiangdu!"
Li Zhun stood up, took back the letter from Li Jian, tore it into pieces, and threw it into his mouth. Then he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, I have no choice but to take my leave now..."
After that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Li Jian silently watched Li Zhun's leaving figure, and couldn't help but clench his hands tightly under his long robe.
He looked to the north and saw the battle between heaven and man.
Uncle, uncle, why are you so negligent!
If they really sent someone to take me to Beijing, why should they send someone I have met before?
His Highness King Wu was breathing rapidly, gritting his teeth and trying hard to turn his head.
"see a visitor out!"
