Mrs. Yu married into the Hou Mansion when she was a teenager, and accompanied Li Shen for more than 20 years.

They are a couple in distress and have a good relationship.

Because of this, when Li Xin entered Beijing, Mrs. Yu reacted so much and drove him out of the capital.

Li Shen slowly patted Mrs. Yu's back and said softly, "It's okay, I'll be fine when I come back." ”

After Mrs. Yu cried a lot, the depression in her heart spread out a lot, and she also sobered up, she wiped her tears, and choked up: "Master Hou, you shouldn't come back"

Li Shen smiled at her reluctantly: "I'm not coming back, what should you do?"

"There are so many old pawns in the house, what should they do?"

Madam Yu said in a low voice: "Master Hou, you are in Southern Xinjiang, we can be safer." ”

Li Shen shook his head: "I am in Southern Xinjiang, and the difference between me and Li Yan in Southern Xinjiang is not very big, but Li Yan is not suitable for staying in the capital, and if he is in charge for a period of time, you will all die in the capital." ”

"Second uncle, he is too reckless."

Mrs. Yu gritted her teeth: "And that Li Xin, although the second uncle is reckless, but if it weren't for him this time, the Son of Heaven would have died a long time ago, and Chun'er would not have suffered such a catastrophe."

"After Chun'er died, he also came to the mansion to show off his might, which is very hateful"

These grievances have been held back in her heart for a long time, but these words can't be said to anyone, nor can they be said to Li Yan, at this time Li Shen is back, she can finally spit it out.

Li Shen patted her on the back and said slowly, "I know, I know everything." ”

In fact, the reason why Li Xin worked so hard that day was also to survive, if he didn't give up his life to stop those assassins, all the Yulin Weiyou Battalion, including him, would be razed by the three clans afterwards

That kind of thing, naturally, you have to fight hard.

Li Shen stayed in the Hou Mansion for an hour, and someone came to report.

"Master Hou, Gonggong Chen in the palace is here and says that he wants to invite you into the palace."

Li Shen frowned and said, "I know, you ask Gonggong Chen to wait for a while, and I'll go later." ”

Li Shen turned around and took Mrs. Yu's hand, and said in a low voice: "Madam, things have come to this point, you must take care of yourself, don't worry too much, since I have returned to the capital, the affairs of the capital will be carried by me, and you can rest at home with peace of mind." ”

Madam Yu was a little worried, and said, "Master Hou, you will enter the palace now."

Li Shen gently patted the back of Mrs. Yu's hand and said softly: "It's not in the way, if he wants to kill me, he can do it the moment I enter the city, and I'm still fine until now, then there is no problem." ”

Madam Yu gritted her teeth and nodded: "Then I'll go find you a court dress to change into." ”

Li Shen shook his head and said, "You have a good rest, it's good that someone else can do these things." ”

Mrs. Yu wept and said: "These days, the concubine body can't sleep all night long, and as soon as she closes her eyes, she looks like Chun'er, and now that the Hou Ye is back, the concubine body finally has something to rely on." ”

Li Shen also sighed: "Send Li Yan over, I owe it to me." ”

At the beginning, Li Yan was sent over to deal with Li Xin's repeated targets, and in Li Shen's opinion, one Li Yan was enough to deal with Li Xin's hairy boy no matter what.

No one expected that things would end up like this.

Li Shen sighed, pulled Madame Yu to the chair and sat down, then went back to his room to change into a court robe and walked towards the main hall of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

The great eunuch Chen Ju has been waiting for a while.

Li Shen cheered up and bowed his head to the big eunuch and clenched his fists: "Grand Duke." ”

Because of the assassination of the Son of Heaven in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, Chen Ju really couldn't put on a good face at this time, he could only smile reluctantly: "Marquis Li, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a morning, and you haven't even gone to today's court meeting, you can quickly enter the palace with our family." ”

Li Shen nodded and said, "There is Gonggong Lao, I am about to enter the palace to face the saint." ”

Pingnanhou Mansion is not far from the imperial city, and the two of them only took half an hour to enter the palace, and after a while, Chen Ju took Li Shen to the door of a warm pavilion in the apse of Changle Palace, and the voice of the great eunuch was lukewarm.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty is inside, go in quickly."

Li Shen took a deep breath and stepped in.

At this time, it was already the end of September, the weather was gradually getting cooler, and in the warm hall of Changle Palace, a stove had been arranged, and the son of Chengde was wearing a heavy robe and was sitting on the edge of a big stove to roast the fire.

Since the injury, he has become a little afraid of cold.

Li Shen took two steps forward and knelt directly on the ground respectfully.

"Minister, Li Shen, knock on Your Majesty"

The Son of Chengde, who was roasting the fire in his robe, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Shen lightly, and then smiled: "You're back."

Li Shen bowed his head again: "When the minister heard that His Majesty was seriously injured in the assassination, he immediately rushed back non-stop. ”

"It turned out that I rushed back because I was injured."

Chengde Tianzi glanced at Li Shen lightly: "I thought you returned to Beijing because Li Chun died." ”

Li Shen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Both." ”

Chengde Tianzi was noncommittal, but waved his hand lightly: "Chen Ju, bring him a stool." ”

The great eunuch Chen Ju immediately bowed his head and moved a wooden pier and placed it next to the big stove.

Chengde Tianzi pointed to this wooden pier and coughed: "You sit." ”

Li Shen hesitated, but sat down cautiously.

The Son of Heaven narrowed his eyes and said, "Chen Ju, you all go out." ”

Chen Ju hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, is the old slave going out too?"

"All out."

The Son of Heaven smiled: "Is it possible that you have this body, and you can still be the opponent of the general of the Zhu Kingdom."

Chen Ju hesitated, bent over and led the palace people to retreat, and in just a moment, there were only two people left in this warm hall, the Son of Heaven and Li Shen.

After there were no outsiders, Chengde Tianzi seemed to be unable to endure the cold, and tightened his robe.

"Li Shen, I'm very angry."

Li Shen took a deep breath and knelt in front of the Chengde Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know anything about this matter in Southern Xinjiang, it's all because of those people."

The matter has come to this point, in the absence of outsiders, it is an insult to everyone's IQ to deny it again, and the Chengde Son of Heaven dispersed everyone in order to listen to Li Shen tell the truth.

Li Shen was very smart, of course he understood the meaning of the Son of Heaven, so he knelt directly on the ground and pleaded guilty.

The Son of Heaven was expressionless: "I'm still very angry. ”

General Zhu Guo knelt on the ground, and after being silent for a while, he said astringently: "So Li Chun deserves to die." ”

"It's not just Li Chun who deserves to die, but people like Li Yan deserve to die."

The Son of Heaven looked at Li Shen coldly.

"According to what your Li family has done, it is not too much to kill the three clans and punish the nine clans."

Li Shen was silent and did not continue to reply, but just knelt quietly on the ground: "Your Majesty has no intention of harming you." ”

The Son of Heaven said indifferently: "But I am dying." ”

"The minister's entry into Beijing this time is to appease His Majesty's anger, the minister and His Majesty have known each other for nearly 40 years, His Majesty regards the minister as a brother, and the minister regards His Majesty as a brother, and the minister has no intention of harming His Majesty."

Li Shen wept and said: "Although this matter was done by Li Yan, he is my brother-in-law, and what he did was done by the minister, and the minister is willing to die to appease His Majesty's remaining anger."

The Son of Heaven quietly looked at Li Shen who was kneeling on the ground.

With disdain.
