Rebirth of the Faint Lord

The emperor asked, Shen Nian said his wish again.He looked a little gloomy, his tone of voice was weak, and his whole body was a little sleepy, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

Qi Junmu thought about the situation in front of him in his heart. This scene seemed to overlap with his previous life.

Shen Nian also returned the soldier talisman in the same way at that time, asking for an order to cut down the lord, his complexion was very ugly, he had a strange look of smiling or not, giving people a feeling of despair.

Qi Junmu always thought that Shen Nian's departure from Beijing in his previous life had something to do with his attitude. Shen Nian was smart and knew his attitude, and he was not the kind of person who didn't know what to do.

Taking back the title of the important minister was actually not a good thing for the emperor, but at that time, in order to hold the military power in the northern border, he pretended to retain it twice, and finally did so under Shen Nian's insistence.

But in this life, he valued Shen Nian so much, Shen Nian should be the clearest in his heart.Qi Junmu had long believed in his heart that this matter would never happen.

If there is no accident, Shen Nian should stay in the capital for the rest of his life and be the Marquis of Zhenbei for the rest of his life.

But things were so unexpected, when the emperor was most unprepared, Shen Nian actually raised this again.

That means that this matter is not caused by the emperor, but by Shen Nian, or the Shen family.

After careful consideration, Qi Junmu didn't care about the water stains on his body and the imperial case, he stood up and walked to Shen Nian to help him up, held the soldier talisman in Shen Nian's hand, and then the emperor stared at the person in front of him eyes said: "What happened?"

Shen Nian's eyes flickered slightly, and he staggered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, my humble minister... I am not suitable to stay in this capital, the emperor does not need to worry, my humble minister will resign in public at the court, and will not embarrass the emperor of."

"Is this embarrassing or not?" Qi Junmu's voice was slightly cold: "Even if you resign in public, I will not agree."

Shen Nian's eyes moved slightly, and there was a trace of embarrassment in his eyes. In the end, he pursed his lips and said nothing else.

Seeing him like this, Qi Junmu thought that what happened to the Shen family must be very unusual, he said: "If you don't tell me about some things, I can send someone to find out, but I don't want to do that, I want to hear from you explain."

"It's okay if you don't want to say it now. I won't force you. I'll tell you when you want to. You're in a bad mood today, so you can rest here. Don't miss your job tomorrow."

Various emotions of hesitation, entanglement and anxiety flashed across Shen Nian's face, and finally he only said one sentence: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qi Junmu hummed, but didn't let him go back to the guard.

There were too many people in that place, and Shen Nian was not completely convinced.In addition, Yang Jinglei is now being left alone by him, and he is in the same position. Many people don't know the situation, and it is inevitable that some people will speak harshly.

Since it is for Shen Nian to have a good rest, Qi Junmu naturally wants to provide him with an absolutely quiet place.

The cleanest place in the palace is his Qianhua Hall, so Shen Nian's final resting place is the side hall of Qianhua Hall.

The last time Shen Nian entered the palace on a rest day and the emperor took him in, it was already evening, the weather said whether it was late or early.It is very bright today, Shen Nian will inevitably be criticized by others if he wants to stay in Qianhua Hall.

Qi Junmu didn't care about these things, anyway, he knew in his heart that what other people were thinking, he would never dare to gossip in front of him.

As for Shen Nian, if he cared about the emperor's reputation in the past, he would definitely not be willing to stay in the Qianhua Palace during the day, at least he would force himself to wander around the palace until the lamplight hour, but today he is really not in the mood and energy to do these things.

He just wants to lie in bed, even if he can't fall asleep.

After thanking him, Shen Nian left with Ruan Jiqing.

Qi Junmu looked at his shoulders that had dropped suddenly, feeling inexplicable.In his impression, Shen Nian has always been flamboyant and intelligent, but now it seems that there is an invisible mountain pressing down on his body, and his straight spine has softened.

The emperor didn't like Zhenbeihou's appearance very much, so he summoned the other eunuchs standing outside the gate of the hall and said, "Go and tell Ruan Jiqing to light some incense in the side hall."

The calming incense used by the emperor is naturally the best.The taste is refreshing, with a light fragrance, not greasy.

This Anshenxiang is specially prepared by the Tai Hospital, and the materials are very expensive, and it will not be addictive.Fortunately, there are not many masters in the palace now, and there is enough Anshenxiang, and the emperor has no shortage here.

When Qi Junmu just came back from his previous life, sometimes he couldn't tell where he was.Every night when he couldn't sleep, he would light a tranquilizing incense, smelling it, he could always fall asleep for a while.

After a long time, he no longer used these things.

Of course, when he used these in his life, he asked all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital to check whether there was any problem with the incense.He started using it after getting it without any problem.

The main reason is that his health got worse and worse in his previous life, and he started feeling depressed at a young age. He didn't care about it at first, and Wen Wan also said that he was too tired.

At that time, Bai Feng left the imperial hospital early because of a family funeral, and it was the imperial physician He Qing recommended by Wen Wan who gave him a pulse.Because of the pain in his heart, He Qing ordered the imperial doctor to conduct a thorough investigation, only to find out that the people around him had been putting other things in the incense burner, so that he finally suffered a stroke due to Wen Wan's anger.

At that time, he had just found out that there was something wrong with the spices in the censer, and Wen Wan got the news, and then made him angry like that.

So this is also the reason why he shot the inner prisoner when he woke up. Regardless of whether he did such a thing now, he would not keep such a person.

Qi Junmu was thinking about the past in his previous life, he half-closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table.

He can't move the ghosts and snakes in Taiyuan Hospital. In this life, he wants to see who else is standing behind these people.

After Ruan Jiqing settled down, when Shen Nian came back, he saw the emperor's face full of murderousness. He felt a chill in his heart. He didn't know who the emperor was talking about, and his face was so ugly.

Hearing footsteps, Qi Junmu opened his eyes and said, "How is the person?"

Ruan Jiqing hurriedly laughed and said: "The slave lighted the tranquilizing incense according to the emperor's order, and Lord Hou has already fallen asleep."

"Sleeping?" Qi Junmu didn't expect it to be like this, and his face was a little surprised.

The smile on Ruan Jiqing's face deepened: "Your Majesty is probably too tired. Besides, with the soothing incense you bestowed on you, Your Majesty, and your golden words, Master Hou can rest assured and take a good rest."

Ruan Jiqing's level of pleasant speech is beyond the reach of ordinary people. It's not because he doesn't show his pleasant speech, but because he knows when to say something.

Just like now, Ruan Jiqing, the flattering emperor, can't pretend he didn't hear it, but the emperor doesn't feel angry at all.

The emperor said: "Don't let people disturb him."

Ruan Jiqing knew that the emperor was in a good mood, and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the servants are all arranged."

Qi Junmu nodded in satisfaction, and waved him back.

@@@@

Shen Nian didn't sleep very peacefully this time, or rather peacefully at first. Later, when he dreamed of Shen's house, Shen Yi, Wen's, and even Mrs. Shen, his brows were tightly frowned, and his heart was like A stone was pressed, and it was stuffy and painful, and it was difficult to breathe.

He struggled to open his eyes from the nightmare, dripping with sweat.

Shen Nian sat on the bed with her head bowed and panted, the sweat dripping from her forehead, ear-piercing accusations filled her ears.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt a chill in his body.Turning his eyes inadvertently, he saw the ice basin placed not far away, and the ice cubes inside were still steaming.

Ice is a rare item in hot weather, and not everyone who stays in the palace can enjoy it.

Knowing that this was the emperor's arrangement, Shen Nian twitched the corner of his mouth, and threw himself on the soft bed again.

He looked at the gauze drawn with gold and silver threads, and through the gauze he looked at the delicately carved beams.He grew up in the border area, his living habits are very rough, and he loves to be clean on weekdays. If he was so sticky in the past, he must take a bath.

But now he is too lazy to move his whole body, and his fingers are so soft that he has no strength at all.

He also stayed up all night in the Zhenbeihou Mansion yesterday.

Mrs. Shen's health has always been good, and he has been suspecting that there is something wrong with her sudden stroke.

Bai Feng is an imperial physician, after taking the pulse, he didn't say that Mrs. Shen's body was weird, he only asked her to pay more attention to her diet and nothing else, and then said that no one tampered with her food.

Mrs. Shen is getting old, the sudden stroke can only be caused by some kind of stimulation.

What's more, Shen Qing still behaved so strangely, as if he grew up a lot overnight.He tried his best not to say anything to Mrs. Shen, and in the name of being filial to Mrs. Shen, he did not let other people get in touch with the matter of brewing and feeding medicine.

Shen Nian didn't say anything, and kept paying attention to these things.

He sent someone to investigate the matter of Shen Qing's brewing medicine, of course he sent someone he brought back from the northern border, and he dared not use any of the servants in Zhenbei Hou's mansion.

There are many ordinary-looking people in the northern border who are unremarkable in the crowd, but are very suitable for people who want to inquire about news.These people have some hands and feet and are good at hiding. They can often squat in one place for a whole day, and it is not a problem to inquire about some inner houses.

The news is that there is no problem with Shen Qing boiling and feeding the medicine. During the cooking, he often cries to the medicine jar, and every time he boils it, he will taste it first.

In this way, what Shen Qing did was an explanation, he was guarding against someone tampering with the medicine.And this person is likely to be their mother, Wen Shi.

Although it's a bit unbelievable to think so, Shen Nian couldn't find a more reasonable explanation.

Wen Shi has always acted as a very eccentric person, it seems that you can see what she is thinking from her face.Mrs. Shen was sick, and she was also sad. After being sad, she soon became happy because she got the rights in the family.

Such a person who has his thoughts written on his face would never do such a thing.

But Shen Nian knows that sometimes people can never look at the surface.

All these years, Mrs. Shen devoted herself to the Buddha. He didn't believe that the Wen family had done nothing in the Shen family.That day he asked the servants around Mrs. Shen, and they all said that she didn't move much at night.

Shen Nian didn't believe this at all, unless a person died suddenly, otherwise he would make some movements to ask for help.Unless these people know something and dare not say anything, the only thing they fear is the master.

That's only Wen's.

What he couldn't understand was why Wen shi treated Mrs. Shen like this, and what Shen Qing knew.

Shen Nian these days kept his face on the surface, but in private he kept staring at Wen.

He felt that as long as Wen Shi did something, he would definitely show his feet.

During this period, Wen's has been very calm, and he wandered around the house on weekdays when he had nothing to do, and occasionally went to see Mrs. Shen.

Shen Nian didn't want her to show her anger badly, and deliberately stopped her.But before he could take any action, Shen Qing had already blocked him from the door.

Facing Shen Qing, Wen Shi was angry and annoyed but he couldn't bear to blame him, so he could only leave angrily in the end.

Later, probably in order to restore her position in Shen Qing's heart, Wen shi bowed down to the Bodhisattva three times a day, copied Buddhist scriptures for Mrs. Shen herself, and chanted scriptures every day to pray for Mrs. Shen's speedy recovery.

Everyone in Zhenbeihou's mansion said that Wen's filial piety, Shen Nian has been doing nothing, pampering Wen's more and more.

He spent most of his time in the palace, and when he returned to Shen's house, he would visit Mrs. Shen before leaving.

Wen's still disliked him, the disgust in his eyes was undisguised, Shen Nian just pretended that he couldn't see it.

Until last night, he suddenly got the news that something happened in Wen's yard.

Shen Nian felt bad at that time, something happened in the Wen's courtyard in the middle of the night, so that the people who have been inquiring about the news all the year round can say the word "abnormal".

Shen Nian rushed to Wen's courtyard at the fastest speed, and saw a man walking out of Wen's courtyard with his own eyes.

At that time, Shen Nian kicked the person from the door to the yard and trampled under his feet, which immediately attracted the maidservant's screams.

When Wen came out of the room, her clothes were disheveled. When she saw Shen Nian, she was taken aback for a moment and then readily admitted what she had done.

Shen Qing also rushed over quickly, maybe he had been paying attention to Wen's yard and came here when he got the news, maybe he came here after hearing the movement.

But anyway, he came too.

Wen Shi didn't care at that time, Shen Nian only asked why.

He didn't understand why Shen Yi had just died a few months ago, and his bones were still not cold, so why Wen would do this.

Even before seeing the facts with his own eyes, he didn't dare to think about it.

Wen Shi listened to his question and laughed, with a face full of sarcasm.

She said: "Why can't I do this? Ever since I got married to Shen Yi, I have stayed alone in the vacant room. I can do nothing to offend him. And you, what right do you have to ask me this."

Shen Nian frowned, Wen's eyes were full of viciousness and said to him: "You really think that you are from the Shen family, you are just a bastard. This position of Marquis of Zhenbei is not suitable for you, this position belongs to Shen Qing He is the descendant of the Shen family, and you are just the son of a groom."

Shen Nian's mind went blank for a moment, and then the others looked extremely calm, as if he hadn't heard Wen's words, he said coldly: "Mother is probably confused, since I just said that after marrying father, Just guarding the vacant room alone, how can Shen Qing become a descendant of the Shen family?"

"Even if my mother is talking nonsense, there should be a basis for it. At least I look like my father. The soldiers in the northern border will not admit it wrong. But the descendant of the Shen family you mentioned doesn't look like his father at all. Could it be that my mother is Do you want to confuse the Shen family's bloodline and let the groom's son replace me as Marquis of Zhenbei?"

Shen Qing stood there with a shocked expression, he looked at Wen Shi and then at Shen Nian, his mind became muddled and he couldn't understand what they were talking about.

Finally, he looked at Wen and said with a trembling voice, "Mother, what are you talking about?"

He was very favored by Wen Shi since he was a child, but now Wen Shi didn't even look at him, and just sneered at Shen Nian: "I am your mother, can I not know if you are Shen Yi's son?" ?”

Shen Nian didn't say a word.

Wen's face was full of madness and said: "You caught the handle today, that's just right, we can speak clearly. If you don't give up the position to Shen Qing, then I will tell everyone in the capital that you, Shen Nian, are not Shen Yi's son. At that time, Shen Yi will not be safe in the ground. Unless you kill all the people standing here today, there will always be rumors spreading."

Shen Nian knew that what she said was right, rumors are the most hurtful thing.

Even if he is Shen Yi's son, as long as Wen Shi says no, who dares to say yes.Mrs. Shen had suffered a stroke and was lying on the bed. The Shen family was under Wen's control. Not to mention Shen Qing, he absolutely didn't want to die.

How could those ministers who disliked him not take the opportunity to take the opportunity.

At that time, whether he is Shen Yi's son or not, Shen Yi will become a joke.From now on, when the world mentions Shen Yi, it won't be the hero of the northern border, but a person who can't even tell his own son apart.

His merits and honors will be forgotten, leaving only the ridicule and belittling of the crowd.

Shen Qing really didn't want to die, he was taught by the Wen family since childhood that everything in the Shen family belonged to him.

After returning to Beijing, Shen Nian became Marquis of Zhenbei, he was so jealous, he felt that Shen Nian had taken all his things away.He wanted to snatch it back, but was severely taught by Shen Nian.

Thinking about the days when he was taught to read made his stomach sick.

But even so, he always regarded Shen Nian as his elder brother and Shen Yi as his father whom he admired.He is also jealous sometimes, Shen Yi doesn't come back to Beijing every year, why Shen Nian can follow him, and he doesn't even deserve a look from Shen Yi.

Now his head is in a daze, he is not a fool, from Wen's words, it is very likely that he is not Shen Yi's son.

But Wen Shi is threatening Shen Nian because of him.

Shen Qing was a little flustered in his heart, he looked at Wen and asked pleadingly: "Mother, this is not true, big brother is big brother, and I am me, right?" Whether you call him cowardly or ridiculous, he just wants tonight Nothing happened, let everything fall into place.

Wen Shi didn't pay attention to Shen Qing at all, she looked at Shen Nian and said, "How are you thinking?"

Shen Nian looked at her and asked softly: "So it's because of this that you are able to attack grandma?"

"She's getting old, and she still wants to meddle in her own business." Wen said a little proudly, "I probably heard some gossip and wanted to find out about me, so how could I tolerate her. Fortunately, she was calm, and when she heard that you weren't If she kisses her grandson, she will die. She can't even call me a poisonous woman. As for Shen Qing, I don't know why he doubts me. The old woman has already had a stroke, and Shen Qing wants her to live, so let's live, anyway, she You can't talk nonsense anymore."

"You also know about this?" Shen Nian looked at Shen Qing calmly and asked.

Shen Qing shook his head blankly, he couldn't sleep that day, when he was walking around, he saw Mrs. Shen's personal maid came out of the courtyard and went to Wen's courtyard in the middle of the night.

At that time, he was still a little puzzled, what was this girl going to do.But because it was too late, he didn't take it seriously.

Who knew that when he went to greet Mrs. Shen the next day, he saw Mrs. Shen's stroke.

And everyone in the yard said they didn't know about it. While he was sad at the time, he had a vague feeling that this matter had something to do with Wen's.

He was afraid, afraid that Mrs. Wen had harmed Mrs. Shen, he wanted to tell Shen Nian about it, but he didn't dare to.

In the end, he had no choice but to boil the medicine for Mrs. Shen to drink, so as not to make another move by the Wen family.

He couldn't hide the matter in his heart, he questioned Wen Shi when Shen Nian was not around, Wen Shi squatted on the ground and wept bitterly, saying that things were not like this, no one went to her yard at all that night.

Shen Qing thought, maybe it was really his own eyesight.

But every time he looked into Mrs. Shen's deep eyes, he felt afraid of being spurned, afraid of Wen Shi, and himself.

Shen Nian looked back at Wen, he said: "Why did you do this?"

"Why?" Wen murmured: "Of course I thought they owed me this. Shen Yi, old woman, it's all because of them that I became what I am now."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "It was that old woman who bullied me back then as an orphan and had no one to rely on to live in the Shen family, so she gave me medicine to make Shen Yi bully me and let me marry him. I originally had The person I like, but there is no good person in their Shen family, so they tore us apart. So, Shen Yi's life and death have nothing to do with me, I just want to make the old woman lie in bed regretting every day, so that Shen Yi can't die peacefully .”

"You're talking nonsense." Shen Nian clasped his hands tightly, and said, "Father would never do such a thing." The Shen Yi in his memory was not a loving father, but he was upright, and he would never be such a person.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Wen smiled, and she said: "If you don't believe me, you can go down and ask your hypocrite father to see if he is not as good as a beast. If he didn't feel ashamed of me, the Shen family's accident Why didn't he say anything about it?"

Shen Nian gritted his teeth.

At this time, an old sigh came from behind him: "Back then, the Shen family was a family and you were an orphan. If Shen Yi really insulted you, then giving you the status of a concubine is enough, and it will not prevent him from marrying a high family in the future. Wife's."

Shen Nian didn't look back, Wen Shi had a ghostly expression on his face, Shen Qing did turn around, and he squirmed, "Grandmother...grandmother."

Mrs. Shen didn't look at him, but walked slowly to Shen Nian's side, and calmly said to Wen's gaze: "Back then, Shen Yi liked someone he shouldn't have liked. He had a stubborn temper, and he didn't let go when his father beat him to pieces. .”

"Shen Yi had a very tense fight with his father. At this time, I thought of you. You were raised by my side, and I had some thoughts on Shen Yi. You knew that your status was not worthy of him, and you even said that you could be a concubine. I took it that day. Take a cup of medicine-filled wine and tell you that if you are willing to drink it, you will become Shen Yi's wife. If you don't, just pretend that I didn't say this, and I will choose a good marriage for you in the future. You don't even think about it , I chose that glass of wine, and you became Shen Yi's wife smoothly. How come Shen Yi forced you now?"

"If I don't choose that glass of wine, will you choose a good marriage for me?" Wen said sharply, "The people you choose are either from poor families or they want me to fill in the houses for others. This is what you say Is it a good marriage? Besides, you are eager to get Shen Yi married, and time is running out, will you marry a high-ranking daughter?"

Mrs. Shen looked at her and shook her head and said: "Even if time is tight and you can't marry a daughter from a high family, there are many daughters from small families. If you didn't have the heart, how could an orphan girl become the daughter-in-law of the Shen family?"

Wen's laughed so loudly that tears came out of the laughter.

Mrs. Shen looked at her, a little weak.Wen's is only the daughter of her natal cousin, not her own. Her surname is Wen, not Shen.Who can protect her if the marriage is too prosperous? Those people are indeed not good, but they will never be wronged if they marry.

It's just that when the events of the past are brought to the present, who can tell clearly who is right and who is wrong.

@@@

Things have come to this point, anyone can guess the truth.

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Nian and said, "I'll handle this matter."

Shen Nian didn't say a word, turned around and left this ridiculous place.

That night, Mrs. Wen and Shen Qing were both placed under house arrest by Mrs. Shen.

Then Mrs. Shen called Shen Nian over and asked him what else he wanted to know.

Shen Nian said: "Does father know about Shen Qing's life experience?"

Mrs. Shen was silent for a while and said: "I didn't know before, after having Shen Qing, I always thought that your father changed his mind, so I have always treated Shen Qing as his grandson all these years. Before his death, your father sent a letter When he came back, he told everything. He said that no matter what, he would save her and Shen Qing's lives, all these years, it wasn't her or Shen Qing that he resented, but the old self, me."

She still remembered that the injury on Shen Yi's body was not completely healed that day, and he was held down, tied up, and given medicine.

He cried and begged her, but it was useless, it was useless to struggle until he was powerless, it was Wen Shi who finally walked into the room.

After dawn, Shen Yi staggered and ran out of the room, the person he liked was standing against the wall, his body was covered with fallen flowers.

Everything is settled, and no one can change it.

"After receiving his letter, I checked the events of the year carefully, and the groom is dead. She has been living a ridiculous life these years, but she has concealed it well in front of me."

"I always felt sorry for her, and felt a little guilty..."

Shen Nian didn't ask any other questions, and didn't want to hear what Mrs. Shen had to say.

He can imagine how Mrs. Shen forced Wen to show her feet, how she pretended to be sick.

After all, she was too sick at that time, and Wen's plan was too smooth.He stood here watching them sing this play, but he never imagined that the story in the play would be like this.

Shen Nian felt that this Shen family was all patients.

All are sick.

Wen's is sick, and Mrs. Shen is also sick.

The disease is true or false, deceiving others and deceiving myself, until the end of deceiving others, I also believe it.
