Rebirth of the Faint Lord

Shen Nian followed the emperor and walked towards Qianhua Hall.

After walking a certain distance, he found that Qi Junmu did not intend to sit on the imperial chariot.Shen Nian's heart moved slightly, knowing that the emperor did it on purpose, he took two quick steps, half a step away from Qi Junmu.

Ruan Jiqing looked up at Shen Nian, seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, he hurriedly lowered his head again.

Qi Junmu didn't even squint his eyes, and said, "What do you think of Guan Han's death?"

As soon as Ruan Jiqing heard this, he knew that the emperor wanted to talk to Shen Nian, he stood a few steps behind the two of them, and then led a group of court ladies and eunuchs to follow behind them not too far away.

Shen Nian walked to Qi Junmu's side and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen anyone yet, so I don't have any opinion on Mr. Guan."

Seeing the emperor squinting at him, Shen Nian remarked in his heart that the emperor was quite tall, two years younger than him, but he was about the same height as him, maybe a little bit taller, and said: "But I think, this Since the person has been dead for so many days, even though the corpse decomposes slowly in Lengtian, Jing Zhaoyin has also carefully inspected the scene, even if Weichen went, I am afraid that he would not find anything particularly valuable."

"Why did you talk about your frustration before you went to investigate?" Qi Junmu was surprised. At this time, shouldn't he express his determination to investigate the matter clearly.

Shen Nian didn't hide the little thought in her heart, "I can't finish the first task assigned by the emperor. Isn't this a betrayal of your trust, my majesty, I'm afraid that you will be too disappointed afterwards."

"I believe in Marquis Shen." Qi Junmu couldn't be fooled: "Marquis Shen is in the northern border, and he can fight for his way out of desperation. Such a small matter must be nothing to worry about."

Shen Nianmo.

Both he and Qi Junmu knew in their hearts that the water in the capital city was much more turbid than that in the northern border. The northern border was a battlefield, and life was life, and death was death, and one could live by relying on the thought of not wanting to die.The capital is a place where various forces are intricately connected. Maybe you check a very small person, and in the end there are shadows of royal relatives.

Sometimes it's hard to live.

The emperor put a piece of hot potato in Shen Nian's hands, and he didn't allow him to throw it away to reject this kindness.

After that, neither of them spoke, just walked slowly through Willow Lane.Liuxiang is the road leading to the harem from the former dynasty, and the harem is after Liuxiang.After passing Liuxiang, Qi Junmu's Qianhua Palace will arrive, which is the closest place to the Qilin Palace of the Shang Dynasty.

When I walked to the gate of Qianhua Hall, there were birds singing.

Qi Junmu stood still and watched the little bird standing on the eaves, singing with its head up, and pecking at the snow on the tiles from time to time.

Ruan Jiqing, who was not far away, almost died of anxiety when he saw this situation.If possible, he wished to push Shen Nian away and say a series of auspicious words to please the emperor.

Shen Nian was also looking at the bird, it seemed that the bird was still black-tailed and bald, he really couldn't figure out what was so good about this bird.

Qi Junmu looked back and saw Shen Nian's depressed expression, he raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "I think it's very interesting, the sky is still cold, and the birds are flying here."

It can be seen how tenacious life is.

Qi Junmu didn't say these words, he just thought that he was like this little bird, even after going through the cold winter, life and death, he still survived until the spring day when the flowers bloomed.

Shen Nian looked at the emperor who had softened his brows and eyes, and at that moment he seemed to see a distorted expression mixed with prey and nostalgia on the emperor's extremely handsome face.

But this emotion only existed on the emperor's face for a moment and then disappeared, which quickly made Shen Nian think that he was dazzled.

Qi Junmu called Shen Nian into the Qianhua Hall, and he sent out all the eunuchs serving in the hall, and there were only two of them in the hall.

After the palace door was closed by Ruan Jiqing from the outside, Qi Junmu pointed to the chair to indicate to Shen Nian that there is no need to sit down and talk.

Shen Nian was not polite either, after thanking the emperor, he opened his clothes and sat down.

Qi Junmu said: "Be sure to find out about Guan Han. I asked Yang Jinglei to assist you. Among my imperial guards, there are two smart ones, one named Hu Ze and the other named Wang Jun. Their eyelids are very lively. How are you?" Tuning|teaching|teaching."

Shen Nian is very good at grasping the key points in the words: "The emperor means that Commander Yang wants to listen to my minister."

Qi Junmu was silent for a moment: "You can think so if you want."

Shen Nian was pleasantly surprised, and he said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Jinglei is the left commander of the imperial army, and he represents the emperor, so it is much more convenient to check many things.

Based on this point, Shen Nian had to thank the emperor a lot.

Qi Junmu was not used to such blunt words, this courtier didn't turn around a few times when he spoke, and when it came to Shen Nian, he was straightforward, as if he would say whatever he thought in his heart, and he was not afraid of being rejected by others.

The emperor was silent for a while before humming, and Shen Nian took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you in advance, if this matter is found on the important officials in the palace, does this minister have the right to continue the investigation?"

Qi Junmu's brows were slightly cold, he looked at Shen Nian and said word by word: "I promise that you can check whether you are an important official in the palace or a relative of the emperor. Since this person wants to arrange for me and doesn't leave me room, why should I Save face for him."

"That's good." Shen Nian understood the emperor's meaning, his elegant and handsome face was full of gentle smiles, his brows and eyes were curved, "The humble minister is used to being wild in the north, and I am afraid that the emperor will think that the humble minister's methods are too much. Rude, with His Majesty's words, I can act boldly with confidence."

"Rough methods?" Qi Junmu was a little curious: "How rude?"

Shen Nian smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, it's hard to say, it's just not so gentle."

The emperor raised the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly: "Why, still so mysterious?"

Shen Nian just smiled and said nothing, Qi Junmu couldn't force him to say what he really thought in his heart, so he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "If that's the case, then I'll just wait."

Then he raised his voice and called Ruan Jiqing, asking him to give Yang Jinglei an oral order, and selected a few imperial guards to assist Shen Nian in investigating the case.

Shen Nian stood up and thanked the emperor.

When leaving Qianhua Hall with Ruan Jiqing, Shen Nian slightly looked back at the emperor sitting in the hall.

The hall was a bit dark, and the emperor's face was half hidden in the hall, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.For a moment, Shen Nian felt that the Qianhua Palace was very empty, and the emperor inside was very lonely.

He was obviously very young, two years younger than him, but he pretended to be extremely deep.It is said that the emperor is supported by the left side outside, and the queen mother is planning inside, and the queen in the palace is a beloved person.

This is clearly a winner in life, but Shen Nian feels that the emperor who controls the life and death of the world is not happy.

The expression on his face can be pretended, but the desolation in his eyes cannot be hidden.Perhaps, even as an emperor, there are many things beyond his control.

Shen Nian originally felt that he was thinking too much, but when they walked out of Qianhua Palace and met the servants of Empress Weiyang Palace, this feeling became even stronger.

The maid from Weiyang Palace came forward tremblingly with a weeping face and reported that the Empress was ill, very seriously ill, she had a fever, and she was a bit confused

Hearing this, Ruan Jiqing didn't have any troubles on his face, and said directly: "The empress is ill, please go and ask the Bai imperial doctor to ask for the pulse of the empress, and then go to inform the empress dowager. How dare you deal with such a big matter?" Delay, if the empress has something to do, be careful with your skin."

When the maid heard this, she hurriedly left without even thinking about informing the emperor.

Naturally Shen Nian didn't know this court lady, but Ruan Jiqing knew that it was left by the emperor to the empress last time.

Now the empress sent people out, not only to test the loyalty of the court lady, but also to see the emperor's attitude towards these people, and even to test whether the emperor really had any objections to her.

If not, the last reproach was an accident, and the Empress is now seriously ill and lately coming to inform her is a sign of weakness.

If the emperor really has an opinion on the empress, then this matter will be difficult to handle.With the heart of a queen, she must find out the reason so that she can deal with it.The queen is a queen, but she also has family and relatives.

She doesn't care about herself, she also has to think about her family.

The front and back palaces are connected.

Ruan Jiqing understood what the emperor was thinking, so he sent the man away directly to tell the empress the emperor's attitude.He has such an attitude to the outside world, and the emperor still needs to be notified of this matter.

Ruan Jiqing summoned someone to report the matter to the emperor, and then looked at Shen Nian with a smile.

The queen's reprimand was not reported in the harem, but Shen Nian noticed something wrong with Ruan Jiqing's attitude.He squinted his eyes, only to feel that the rumors that the emperor loves the queen cannot be fully believed.

But he quickly laughed at himself, he has a lot of messes, so there is no time to worry about them.

@@@

Qi Junmu asked Shen Nian to leave, he was thinking about the recent events in the court, just remembered something important, the Empress Dowager sent someone to pass the message, saying that the Empress Dowager invited him to come over.

The relationship between Qi Junmu and the queen mother is a bit delicate, but in the end they are still mother and child.Since the queen mother sent someone to invite him, he naturally wanted to go.

When he arrived at the place, Qi Junmu realized that the Queen Mother's Palace was very lively.

Fu Hua was there, Aunt Yue was there, and Lin En, who was wearing a silver mask, was also there.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and when Qi Junmu arrived, the scene fell silent instantly.

There seemed to be a pair of invisible people in the air, strangling everyone's necks, making them unable to speak other words.

The scene was awkward for a moment, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face slowly disappeared, Yue Shi and Lin En hurriedly stood up and saluted, Qi Junmu gently calmed them down.

Fuhua saw that the situation was not right, so she followed suit and saluted, and then half-seriously and half-complaining: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you forgotten me?"

Qi Junmu raised his eyebrows at her, pondered for a moment and said: "Recently, the court affairs are busy, and I really forgot about you."

"Queen mother, you see that the emperor is not afraid of making his daughter feel uncomfortable when he says this." Fuhua curled his lips unwillingly and complained to the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager knew that Fuhua did this intentionally, and she had a pampering smile on her face and said: "The emperor is busy with court affairs, so it is right for him to ignore you for a while, haven't you seen someone now?"

"Empress, even you make fun of my daughter." Fu Hua said with a playful grimace.

Yue Shi also laughed: "How can the emperor forget the princess, it is clearly because he misses the princess so much."

Lin En on the side also smiled, his smile was a bit cramped, his face was covered with silver, only showing a pair of eyes and a smooth and delicate chin.It can be imagined that if his face was not burned, his appearance should be quite handsome.

The rigid situation was broken, and everyone started chatting and laughing again. Although the atmosphere was not as lively as before Qi Junmu came, it was still peaceful.

When talking about family affairs, the queen mother mentioned the queen, she glanced at Qi Junmu and sighed: "Just now I heard from Bai Feng that the queen's illness was caused by excessive worry. She has a heavy temper and is prone to overthinking. She The bones of the body were originally weak, but now they have lost a lot of weight, which makes people feel distressed, and the emperor should go to see the queen when he is free."

Facing the queen mother's remarks, Qi Junmu smiled and did not answer.

Yue Shi stood up at this time, she said with a smile: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, I heard that the current view of the Imperial Garden is rare, my wife and Lin En came today to see the scenery, and I also want to see the Queen Mother Charter."

The Empress Dowager pointed to Fu Hua and said: "She is most familiar with the Royal Garden, let her go with you."

"Don't worry, queen mother, I will definitely take my aunt and cousin to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden." Fuhua also knew that the atmosphere in the hall was not harmonious, so he said busyly.

When Yue Shi, Lin En and Fuhua were about to leave after saluting, Ruan Jiqing rushed over from outside the hall.

Ruan Jiqing was taken aback suddenly when he saw the room full of people.

The expression on his face was originally anxious and panicked, but now he is so stunned, he looks stupid.

"What's the matter, this is in a panic." The Queen Mother frowned.

Ruan Jiqing came back to his senses and hurriedly saluted. He first glanced at Qi Junmu, seeing that the emperor had no special expression on his face, and then he said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the servant lost his temper because of the Zhenbeihou. Look at the Queen Mother." Forgive me."

The queen mother became interested when she heard this, she said: "Zhenbeihou, is that the Zhenbeihou who tried to turn the tide in the hall today? What's wrong with him?"

"It's him." Qi Junmu said, and then he looked at Ruan Jiqing and asked: "Didn't I just order him to go out of the palace to investigate the case? What did he do to make you so panicky?"

Ruan Jiqing swallowed his saliva, he simply closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "Back to the emperor, Marquis Zhenbei beat Uncle Guo and Prince Ying's son at the gate of the palace.
