Shen Shizhe didn't change his expression, he just raised his hand feebly, motioning for Shen Muge to get up.He swayed towards the opposite side of the uncle Guo's seat, and said weakly: "Sit down, we are all my family today, so don't be too formal."

Shen Muge sat over breathlessly, but did not dare to take a peek at Fusheng during the period, for fear of arousing his father's suspicion.In fact, she also found that during the past two years of his father's serious illness, his temperament became more and more eccentric, and his suspicion became more and more serious.Now I am afraid that no one can gain his complete trust, including his own children, who have to go through various tests in the same way.

"Ahem, there's nothing special about calling you here today. The main reason is that Mu Ge has been out of the palace for a while, and it's not good to welcome you with great fanfare when I come back this time. Why don't we choose to have dinner together tonight? It is the father and uncle who welcome you together." Shen Shizhe's breath was a little fluttering, and he coughed several times after saying such a sentence.

"Father, you should pay more attention to your health. Yesterday the imperial doctor said that you should go to bed earlier at night." Although Shen Muge had a grudge against Shen Shizhe, seeing his father's physical condition, he still couldn't help but care.

"Old problem, the imperial doctor came and went with just a few words. Father's body, I know it. It's rare for you to come back from a long journey. As a father, there is no reason not to welcome you. Besides, you are also traveling for the country this time. For the sake of the emperor, I want rewards even more." When Shen Shizhe said this, he glanced at Fu Sheng who was kneeling on the ground from time to time.

"Your Majesty, have a sip of tea." Eunuch Su, who was standing on the edge of the cave, handed over the teacup in a timely manner, silently dissolving the embarrassment just now.

"What my father ordered Mu Ge to do, Mu Ge will not disobey. Now that I am protected by my father, I am able to retreat completely. I am here to thank you, how dare I accept the reward? My father said so, I am afraid that I will break the evil spirits." I am a son and a minister." From the beginning to the end of these words, Shen Muge emphasized the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, but he did not want to get close as his biological father and daughter.

Shen Shizhe didn't respond, but Uncle Guo, who was sitting opposite her, raised his eyes and showed a specious smile, but it was so faint that it was difficult to distinguish.Fu Sheng knelt down like a transparent person, since she was brought here by Eunuch Su, she has been kneeling like this all the time.After finally waiting for the eldest princess, these people still didn't want to mention her wishes.

In fact, kneeling for a long time is not an unbearable hardship for martial arts practitioners, but the oppressive atmosphere and the tightness that dare not move make Fusheng uncomfortable.If she was not afraid of causing trouble to Shen Muge, she would not be so restrained, let alone be so disciplined.In her eyes, the emperor is just a monarch with a high mountain and a long way to go.She can be her own king in Feiye Villa in the frontier.

After chatting casually, Shen Shizhe suddenly mentioned the late empress, and said with a sad expression: "The boss said that time can dilute everything, but Qirou has been gone for a few years, and I still remember it in my heart. Thinking back to the days when she was still here, my heart can't help but twitch. I'm afraid I won't have much time to stay here with you, and I miss you so much."

These words were very affectionate, not to mention that the eldest princess and uncle Guo who were closely related to the former empress Ji Qirou were moved, even Su Gonggong, who had served the emperor for many years, couldn't help but miss him.Fu Sheng, the only outsider in the audience, also felt uncomfortable because the emperor mentioned the prospective mother-in-law whom she had not met.

It was obviously a heart-wrenching speech, but it just resolved the stalemate that was about to rise just now.After all, Ji Yanqi was older than Shen Muge and Fusheng, and had much richer experience, but when the emperor mentioned his sister, his heart surged with affection.But it didn't take half a moment to wake up, this was just a hand of emotional cards played by the cunning and experienced Shen Shizhe.Since it was hard to show on the surface, he just snorted coldly in his heart, and while drinking tea with a toast, he gave Su Gonggong a wink.

This talk begins with the emperor and ends with the emperor.It seems that no one is interested today, the emperor spoke, and everyone responded with a few words, but the emperor stopped talking, and no one came up with new topics.This made the emperor a little embarrassed, but with his status there, it was not easy to have an attack.It was even more impossible to start the conversation again and again, so I had to keep lying on my side and hinted at Eunuch Su.

Su Zhihe no longer pretended to be confused, and had been with the emperor for many years, if he didn't have this bit of vision and brain power, he wouldn't be able to get into this position.It was not suitable for anyone present to say the first sentence to Fu Sheng, so this task naturally fell on Su Eunuch.He cleared his throat and said: "Fu Sheng, do you know why you were announced today?"

"I don't know, I hope Su Gonggong will tell you clearly." Fu Sheng heard that someone finally took care of him, and stretched his muscles and bones while bending down to salute.

"Today is the emperor's will to call you here, but the reason is that someone has sued you to the emperor." Eunuch Su still said calmly, but his voice became thinner.

"This....."

"Father, who dares to speak nonsense and fabricate rumors in front of you?" Before Fu Sheng could answer, Shen Muge asked the question first.

Firstly, she didn't expect her father to use such a reason to make trouble, and secondly, she was really unhappy.Because on the surface it is a complaint against Fusheng, but beating the dog to see the owner, it is not clear that it is showing the color of her eldest princess.Even if Fusheng made a mistake again, he would sue the emperor directly without his master, wouldn't he even count the eldest princess in and sue together!

"Hey, Mu Ge, don't be angry, I don't believe this, that's why I called you and this man called Fu Sheng together, and asked to clarify. If there is a misunderstanding, tell the source and find the source as soon as possible. Avoid deepening the misunderstanding. If there is something you have neglected, it can be regarded as a remedy after the past. It is not a bad thing to solve the troubles early while the situation is not serious enough to be out of hand. It just so happens that your uncle came to greet you today, and I will take him as well. I stayed here to help make a judgment. They are all from my own family, and there is no favoritism, so you can rest assured."

Shen Shizhe's meaning was also unambiguous, he did not admit that he doubted Shen Muge, but he did not deny that others were falsely accusing and spreading rumors, these few words pushed the crux of the problem to Fu Sheng.If what was told was false, then Fu Sheng did something unruly and caused people to misunderstand; if it was true, then it must be Fu Sheng who deceived the Eldest Princess.The one who needs to be punished will only be Fu Sheng.

"What the father said is that the minister is reckless." Seeing this, Shen Muge couldn't say anything more.He just glanced at Fu Sheng with a little worry, but he didn't dare to stay longer.

"Fusheng, someone reported to me that you are an imposter, not the real Fusheng. They also said that you lurk in the palace because you have other plans. Is this true?" Shen Shizhe spoke like a kind elder. asked peacefully.There was no harsh words offensive, let alone any threats or warnings.

Shen Muge pursed her lips, and sat upright on the seat as before, faintly sweating on her back.Ji Yanqi didn't say a word, but picked up the teacup more and more frequently.Shen Shizhe was quite patient and didn't rush, but kept staring with a pair of naked eyes, making it impossible to guess his next intention.

"If you go back to the emperor, the servant is indeed not the real father-in-law of Fusheng, but the villain did not enter the palace to do evil, but to protect the eldest princess, please check it out." Fusheng followed Qiancheng's arrangement at that time, and said the answer come out.

"Oh? To protect the eldest princess? That's a good reason, let me tell you." Shen Shizhe was not surprised by this, but instead stroked his beard and snorted softly with a half-smile.

"My Majesty, Cao Min was originally an ordinary ranger in the Jianghu. I met the eldest princess by chance a few years ago, and saved the eldest princess once by chance. Fortunately, the eldest princess appreciated it, and felt that the hard work was good, so special people went to the Jianghu to summon the villain. In the palace, it is said that there is a special task that requires the help of villains." When Fu Sheng said this, his words were sincere and unequivocal.

"Well, Mu Ge, is there such a thing?" The emperor was silent for a while, then turned to look at Shen Muge, and asked.

"Father, there is indeed such a thing. Fusheng, what she said is true. It is true that I ordered someone to summon her and keep her by my side." Shen Muge had a calm demeanor, and what she showed was just some self-blame And the nervousness of not telling the father in advance.

This reaction made Shen Shizhe less suspicious. It is not unusual for the eldest princess to want a guard with strong martial arts skills.But why do you go to the rivers and lakes to find one alone, instead of picking one from the Ouchi guards?

"Then why did Mu Ge do this? Don't you feel uneasy about the trip to Daliao that the emperor arranged for you?"

"Father, it's not that I'm worried about your arrangement. I'm just worried..." Shen Muge hesitated, as if he was considering whether to say the next thing.

"But it's okay to say. There are no outsiders here today, no matter what I say, I can treat it as a family matter." Shen Shizhe is worthy of his wit and scheming. Seeing Shen Muge's hesitant to speak, he knows that it is not an ordinary person involved.

"My son is worried about sending off the ambassador."

"Ye Mingchu? He was conferred by me, what is there to be afraid of?" Smiling and narrowing his eyes, Shen Shizhe stretched out his hand, motioning for Eunuch Su to pass him the tea.

"Father, I didn't know in advance who the ambassador would be. At that time, Zuo Zongming Zuo was in charge of the military attache in the court. Besides, the person stationed in the border town was General Ye from Zhen Guogong's mansion. Naturally, I wouldn't think that Lord Zuo will arrange someone who is familiar with General Ye to be the ambassador to send off the relatives. When the royal father's canonization order is announced, Fusheng has already entered the palace."

"Are you afraid of Zuo Zongming? You are a majestic eldest princess, and you have the support of the uncle of the country and the Duke of Zhenguo. You are still afraid of a mere minister of the Ministry of war?" Shen Muge was dissatisfied with her timidity.

"If I don't canonize Ye Mingchu, let Zuo Zongming's people send you to Daliao. Are you going to take such a helper found in the rivers and lakes to seek safety? Do you really believe that a martial artist in the rivers and lakes can protect you?" At this time, Shen Shizhe was a little angry, his tone became sharp, and he coughed a few times without stopping.

"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body, don't be too excited." Eunuch Su hurriedly stepped forward to please the Emperor, stretched out his left hand and hid it behind his back to make a hook gesture for Shen Muge.
