Qing Yan

"Your Majesty, General Wu Bin is waiting outside the hall." Shen Quan saluted.

Yu Wenrui was refreshed when he heard the words, put down the ink brush, raised his head from the pile of memorials, and said happily: "Please!"

Shen Quan agreed and went out of the hall to deliver the decree.

Yu Wenrui pointed to the piles of memorials on the case again, and said to the little inner supervisor who was standing by: "Clean it up."

The little eunuch hurriedly tidied up the mess on the desk, but unexpectedly, there was something in his mind that might be in his hands. With a "click", a memorial fell to the ground, and he opened it, revealing the handwriting inside.

The little eunuch was frightened to death, and hurriedly fell to his knees, kowtowing non-stop: "Damn it, slave! Damn it, slave!"

Yu Wenrui frowned slightly: Isn't it just a memorial?As for being so scared?I am not evil...

Shen Quan, who was walking outside the hall, also stopped in his tracks, looked awkwardly at the little eunuch who kowtowed like garlic, and couldn't help observing the emperor's expression, seeing that there was no sign of anger, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile : "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. This kid has just been promoted. I think Le has lost his head, and he has nothing to do with his subordinates."

Yu Wenrui said lightly: "It's nothing... What's your name?"

The little eunuch who was asked his name was even more frightened, thinking that the emperor was going to ask his name to punish him for his misconduct, but he didn't dare not answer the emperor's question, so he had to tremble with his thin voice, and his body fell asleep. They shuddered into a ball.

"Slave, servant is called... called Wei Shun..."

"Your surname is Wei?" Yu Wenrui became interested and squatted down.

A faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus came over his face, and Wei Shun's breathing almost stopped.He held his breath, fearing that if he breathed out more, the fairy-like breath would be washed away.He curled up his kneeling body even more humbly, wishing to bury his whole face in the dust, lest he would bump into the emperor who looked like a fairy and a god-man in front of him.

Yu Wenrui looked at him with his head tilted, raised his eyebrows, and asked slowly: "Director Wei Qinwei, do you recognize him?"

Only then did Wei Shun return to his seat, tremblingly said: "Director Wei is, is the master of the servant..."

His thoughts changed suddenly, he became even more flustered, and he kowtowed again: "Please, please don't implicate Master... It's all, it's all the fault of this servant... I will take it upon myself..."

Yu Wenrui had a strange expression, and he held back a smile and said, "You are filial, and you deserve the name your master gave you."

Wei Shun fell on the ground, thinking about the punishment he might receive, his heart was in a mess.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Wei Shun shook his head: "Slaves, servants dare not..."

"Then you're still afraid of me," Yu Wenrui straightened up blankly, staring at Wei Shun's involuntarily trembling back, and sighed secretly, "Go down."

Hearing this, Wei Shun was on the verge of crying, and said: "Your Majesty can beat or scold you as much as you want, but please don't send this slave! I don't want... I don't want Master and the old man to be disappointed with this slave..."

"Get up first." Yu Wenrui said calmly.

Wei Shun got up obediently, lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to look at Yu Wenrui.

"I just asked you to go down and practice the rules of serving the imperial court, so that when you serve again in the future, you won't lose your manners, and I haven't dismissed you."

Wei Shun suddenly raised his head in surprise, staring blankly at Yu Wenrui with big watery eyes, with an inexplicable blush on his cheeks.

The young eunuch is probably two years younger than himself, right?

Yu Wenrui said gently: "You go down first. It's best to learn from your master, and don't disappoint your master's expectations."

Wei Shun withdrew gratefully.

Yu Wenrui leaned over to pick up the memorial on the ground, Shen Quan quickly folded it back, picked it up first, and handed it back to her hand.

Yu Wenrui stared at the traces of her own ink pen on the memorial, like a ball of bright red blood, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Quanzi, is my appearance scary?"

Shen Quan was not wary of her question.However, he has been serving the emperor for a long time, and the more he understands the little emperor, he naturally has his own way of survival.

"It's just a boy who has never seen the world. When he first saw Tianyan, he was nervous and frightened. Why should His Majesty take it to heart?"

In fact, why doesn't Manager Shen Da have an account in mind?

In Kuntai Palace yesterday, the three people guarding the interior and exterior heard the Queen Mother's exclamation at the same time, but Bingbi who had just warmed up the medicinal soup was the first to rush in.Shen Quan knew that it was because compared with others, Aunt Bingbi was a dowry brought by the Empress Dowager's natal family, and she had a deeper and more genuine affection for the Empress Dowager.

How is the result?

Shen Quan didn't know what happened in the inner room, but he had served the little emperor for nearly ten years, what kind of situation the little emperor is, would he not know?It's just that there are many things that I can't think about, let alone dare to think about.

At that time, the little emperor was obviously very unhappy, she severely reprimanded Bingbi, and angrily ordered: "Make the medicine again!"

On the contrary, it was the queen mother who always had a sullen face.After ordering people to clean up the dirt and debris on the ground, the emperor was driven away.The emperor is naturally unwilling, but the queen mother has made up her mind, who can change it?

The emperor was kicked out, and her mood was even worse. She didn't go back to the palace to rest, and went straight to the Chongyang Palace, desperately approving the half-night memorial. She didn't listen to anyone's persuasion. After warm words of persuasion, the emperor obediently went back to the palace to rest.

After all this tossing, Shen Quan felt physically and mentally exhausted.The older the little emperor, the more thoughtful he was, the more majestic the emperor was, and the harder it was to serve him, so he had to put up all his energy to deal with it.

If so, there is more fuel to the fire——

Early this morning, the emperor had just woken up and hadn't taken a shower yet. He Chong suddenly asked to see him, and when he entered the door, he glanced at himself with an inexplicable strangeness in his eyes.

The most incomprehensible thing was that the emperor ordered everyone to retreat, leaving only He Chong to play the secret performance.

The monarch and his ministers didn't know what to say, and they talked for more than half an hour.As soon as He Chong left, the emperor smashed a jade cup, which scared all the maids and servants to kneel on the ground, daring not to make a sound.

Since then, the emperor has never seen a smile on his face, so that the people in the palace did not dare to take a breath.

Shen Quan now understands such things as "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger" and "a king's prestige is unpredictable".

Facing the little emperor who looked more and more like an emperor, but also became more and more unfamiliar to others, Shen Quan wisely chose to obey.He knew that he was just a humble survivor, and the respect of others was not because he had done something that benefited the country and the people, but because he served the emperor well, and the emperor favored him.If you leave aside the level of loyalty to the emperor, then Shen Quan is nothing.Therefore, in the final analysis, loyalty to the emperor, and only loyalty to the emperor is the eternal truth.

"Quanzi, you have been by my side for ten years, right?" Yu Wenrui said suddenly.

"Nine years, eight months and two days, Your Majesty."

Yu Wenrui said unexpectedly: "You remember clearly."

Shen Quan didn't say much, he just answered "yes" briefly.

Yu Wenrui's expression softened slightly, "Go tell General Wu to enter the palace! Also, the one named Wei Shun just now, I leave it to you, so I can teach you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Quan meaningfully: "Remember, only those who are loyal and filial can be reused and last for a long time."

Shen Quan's heart skipped a beat: the emperor is no longer a child, and he wouldn't say these words for no reason.Is this talking about the facts, or does it mean something?

He didn't have time to think about it, so he bowed and stepped back.

Yu Wenrui stared at Shen Quanyuan's back, his face sinking like water.

If He Chong hadn't been drinking tea in the same teahouse at that time, and if the sister-in-law hadn't happened to have ordered He Chong to take charge of the investigation yesterday, how long would this servant Shen Cheng have to hide from him?

Yu Wenrui felt hatred in his heart and silently clenched his fists.

She asked herself that since she took the throne, she has never treated any of the palace servants harshly, even beat, scolded, and punished for no reason.Why?Why do they collude with others for ulterior motives?

Yu Wenrui never believed that only Shen Cheng was involved in this kind of thing, she asked He Chong to investigate, thoroughly investigate!She would never allow such a dangerous villain to be by her side.In particular, she couldn't put sister-in-law and queen mother in a dangerous situation.

Besides this, what she is most interested in and also most worried about is who is the mysterious man who drank tea with Shen Cheng.

He Chong just happened to meet friends in the private room next door, and he didn't hear anything unusual except for the unusual noise.However, according to the palace regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the inner eunuch is strictly forbidden to communicate with people outside the palace if there is no emperor's order.He Chong saw the mysterious man leaving first, Shen Cheng's strange expression, he knew the matter was serious, so he reported the matter to the emperor.

Yu Wenrui stood beside the desk, she thought of what Senior Sister Chai had said a few days ago.Senior Sister Chai said that although she has a cute personality, she is also easy to be hurt.But even if such a big beetle as Shen Cheng appeared in the palace, Yu Wenrui still believed in Shen Quan's loyalty to him.

She remembered that Mr. Pei taught her when she was young, "There is no absolute in everything"; Mr. Pei also said that he hoped that she would be a good emperor who can distinguish right from wrong, not a confused emperor who follows others.Therefore, she obeyed her heart, and she believed in Shen Quan's behavior, even though Shen Quan was Shen Cheng's apprentice and the closest person to Shen Cheng.

How long has it been since you listened to Mr. Pei's teachings?

Is the busy state affairs the reason?Isn't it because of being an emperor, you have a big air, and you feel that you are omnipotent, so you are self-righteous?

Yu Wenrui felt guilty.

Now she feels confused about matters of relationship and military affairs, and she desperately wants someone to show her a clear way, even if it's just to help her develop her mind.

Who says the emperor is omnipotent?She, the emperor, is at a loss for A Sao's indifference right now; and with the current confusing situation, she vaguely feels that there is a giant hand pushing behind it, and it is inseparable from the situation in Beizheng. How, and how to deal with it, she was a little upset.
