play tricks around the bed

Shen Zhu sat on Li Jue's carriage.

It was very dark in the carriage, and the curtains were so heavy that it was almost impossible to let in the light from outside.

Only the gaps in the swaying car curtains can occasionally leak a few rays of light.

Li Jue hadn't spoken since he got into the carriage, and closed his eyes without saying a word.

Shen Zhu looked at Li Jue silently.

It had been a long time since he had looked at Li Jue so carefully.

When Li Jue closed his eyes and didn't speak, he was a little gentle for a while.

Li Jue's appearance wasn't too sharp, but his skin was too white, making him look a bit cold.

When he was young, the gentle temperament around him made him look like a piece of shining white jade, but in the past few years, those who have been polished by the court have long lost the gentleness, respect and thrift of the past, and now they look more like a horribly white knife.

Shen Zhu looked at Li Jue's crane-feather cloak, and couldn't help frowning.

Even though it's just the beginning of autumn, Li Jue is already wearing such thick clothes, and he smells sandalwood when he smells it carefully.

I heard that Li Jue has been paying homage to the Buddha in recent years.

A powerful official who killed his father and mother, what kind of Buddha is he?

Shen Zhu smiled wryly, and looked away.

There was nothing to talk about between them for a long time, and the two sat together in silence.

The carriage didn't stop, and Li Jue didn't say where he was going to take him.

Shen Zhu couldn't just waste time with Li Jue.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Zhu still spoke, "His Royal Highness Huaiwang, my house is over."

Hearing Shen Zhu's words, Li Jue slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at Shen Zhu.

His eyes were dark and prey, and now he didn't even have the slightest warmth.

"What did you call me?" Li Jue asked him.

Shen Zhu didn't know what was wrong with his address, so he repeated it as if confirming: "Your Highness...Your Majesty?"

Li Jue didn't leave his eyes, and said in a flat tone, "Since you and I have already received the order, we don't need to be so serious."

Shengfen... Shen Zhu's brows twitched, and he asked tentatively: "Then...knowledge jade."

Now Li Jue didn't speak anymore, but his eyes still didn't leave, and he just stared at Shen Zhu with a good eye.

Shen Zhu couldn't stand Li Jue's gaze.

In fact, he knew that this was not what Li Jue wanted to hear, but he just didn't want to be called that.

But he didn't want to go back, based on what he knew about Li Jue, he had no doubt that if he didn't bark again, Li Jue would lose his patience and throw him off the carriage, and walk away with his wheelchair, leaving him alone. He just crawled back to Shen's house.

Li Jue is shameless, Shen Zhu wants more.

In the end, Shen Zhu compromised, and called out with difficulty: "Ah Jue."

Li Jue seemed satisfied now, and turned back to look at him again.

He closed his eyes and stopped talking to Shen Zhu, and continued to remain silent.

In a small space, silence seems to kill people.

Shen Zhu didn't know why Li Jue was so obsessed with this title. For Shen Zhu, this title could only remind him of the black history of his childhood that Li Jue held in his hand, other than that, there was nothing good about it.

Shen Zhu felt that there might be something wrong with Li Jue's mind, so he tortured him for a day, then looked at him condescendingly and begged for mercy.

He also no longer intends to continue communicating with Li Jue, maybe an unhappy Li Jue would think of throwing him down again.

Anyway, Li Jue can't drag him away and assassinate him, so he can go wherever he likes. Has he suffered any crimes?

After a long time, the carriage finally stopped.

Shen Zhu got off the carriage and froze in place, Prince Huai's Mansion.

Good guy, Li Jue took him directly to his home.

Chen Zhu thought, he had never suffered this crime.

"I greeted the old master in advance."

Li Jue got off the carriage, and finally talked to Shen Zhu, "I suggest bringing you here, so that you can save the money spent in brothels and play mahjong for the old master."

"..." Shen Zhu felt a chill down his spine, he could guess what his prodigal father could do.

Sure enough, Li Jue, who had been expressionless all this time, finally raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said slowly, "Old Hou expressed his willingness, and happily asked someone to pack your luggage, and delivered it over early this morning."

Father!You are trying to kill me!

Shen Zhu, who was sold to the palace by his father, wanted to cry, turned his little wheelchair and wanted to run home.

Li Jue's face turned gloomy, and he said to the guards who had been waiting beside him for a long time: "Chang Wei, invite Young Master Shen into the house."

The guard with a height of seven or eight feet and a muscular body grabbed Shen Zhu's small wheelchair and said in a low voice, "I'm offended".

Then the words didn't finish, and like a gust of wind, Shen Zhu was pushed into the yard prepared for him by Li Jue, and locked the door with his backhand.

Shen Zhu's lungs were about to explode.

Fortunately, Eunuch Qing came with him.

Eunuch Qing was originally an old eunuch of the late emperor.

It is normal for the new emperor to exchange blood in the harem before he ascends the throne, just dismiss him.

But the current emperor is not the prince of the first emperor, but his younger brother.

Therefore, getting the throne is not as legitimate as it seems on the surface. Old eunuchs like this who served the late emperor's daily life are all planning to be killed.

At that time, Li Jue didn't know what kind of compassion he felt, so he begged the old eunuch for a favor from the first emperor, and at least he saved his life.

Eunuch Qing thanked Li Jue for his kindness, so he said a few more words: "Young Master, don't be too angry.

Someone brought up the old sins of the Shen family this morning, but His Highness stopped him.

Therefore, it is inevitable that you will feel uneasy, so you might as well be patient and discuss it with His Highness. "

"The Shen family?" Shen Zhu became alert and asked involuntarily, "Who mentioned it?"

When asked here, Eunuch Qing didn't say much anymore, bent over and said: "Young Lord, let's ask Your Highness personally."

After speaking, he took two steps back and left.

After Eunuch Qing left, Shen Zhu also calmed down a lot, sat down and looked around the room.

It's the room he lived in when he was a child, and even the furnishings haven't changed.

When I was a child... Shen Zhu began to recall the events of recent years.

The Shen family had disappeared from the court for many years, and he really couldn't think of any other way he could affect other people's interests.

Dismissed from office, disabled legs, notorious, these are not enough?If the emperor didn't worry about letting the Shen family leave the capital, Shen Zhu would definitely take his family back to the northwest immediately.

emperor……

Shen Zhu thought for a while, could it be the emperor?

Eunuch Qing returned to the palace and restored the emperor's life.

The emperor was also getting old, and wanted to be more kind and support his life like other old people, but there was still suspicion and cruelty in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

The old emperor was leaning on the couch to read the scriptures, his brows were furrowed tightly, when he saw Eunuch Qing coming, he asked casually, "What's Huaizhi's reaction?"

The old emperor asked about getting married by order.

Eunuch Qing bent over, smiled apologetically, "I was very angry, and I was planning to have a big fight with King Huai."

The old emperor laughed when he heard this.

Putting down the booklet, sitting upright, even stretching his brows, he sighed: "After all, he is still straight. Ordinary people have long lost their integrity after what happened to him. Why is he still so... young and vigorous."

"Master Shen's temper really hasn't changed, like a child."

Eunuch Qing looked at the old emperor's face, guessed the emperor's intentions and said nicely, "Children always don't know how to restrain themselves, but it's easier to see through."

"child."

The old emperor silently recalled the past, shook his head and smiled, "Huaizhi was much more arrogant when he was a child than he is now."

Shen Zhu was indeed arrogant when he was a child.

Old Mrs. Shen was an envoy of Daqi when he was young. Later, he guarded the northwest frontier and became a first-rank marquis. He married the princess of the Northwest Prince's Mansion as his wife. At that time, the power was so great that almost the entire Northwest belonged to the Shen family.

Shen Zhu grew up in the Northwest since he was a child, and practiced martial arts and swords with soldiers in the army.

Later, in order for Shen Zhu to learn etiquette, Mrs. Shen sent Shen Zhu to the Xian Wang's mansion.

Shen Zhu grew up with Li Jue and was taught by the Taifu.

Different from the down-to-earth Li Jue, Shen Zhu's temperament is always escaping.

Not only playing with the children of the same generation, but also leading the children to anger the old old lady.

The old master was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and wanted to put the students who wrote poorly written articles into confinement together.

Unexpectedly, unlike a group of foolish students, Shen Zhu's excellent writing was astounding, and even the old master reluctantly admitted that Shen Zhu was indeed talented.

In the end, a group of students who played with Shen Zhu and failed their grades were locked up for make-up classes, and Shen Zhu ran out alone to continue to have a good time.

Jumping back to Jumping, Shen Zhu did not live up to such a good teaching, he was both civil and military at a young age, and his reputation was well-known in Beijing.

The first emperor even made an exception in appointing Shen Zhu, worshiping the privy envoys, from the first grade, and even reserved one of the official titles of Longtuge bachelors for Shen Zhu, which attracted the envy of many champions.

But at that time, Chen Zhu was young and wild, disdainful of the court's intrigue, and after a wave of hatred in the capital, he resolutely resigned from the post of the late emperor in Daqi, who valued culture over military, and went back to the northwest to eat sand in the frontier with his father went.

But no one expected that when the new emperor ascended the throne, Shen Zhu would resist the order and insist on attacking the northwest countries.

Although he won, he suffered heavy losses and killed many soldiers.

After this battle, he was notorious, and when he was still young, he broke a pair of legs in vain, ruining his bright future.

After the new emperor came to the throne, the Shen family even resigned from their official positions and stayed in the capital, where they took on a well-known senior care officer so that the emperor could monitor them.

These are all superficial statements, and no one can tell what the actual situation is until now.

No one knew why the loyal Shen family from generation to generation suddenly refused to obey the order, and no one knew why Shen Zhu, who was talented in military affairs, attacked other countries when the new emperor ascended the throne and the government was weak.

Just know that since then, there have been more and more rumors.

Some people said that Shen Zhu's initiative to invite Ying to go to the northwest was not at all for the purpose of fighting the enemy, but for the Shen family to establish itself in the northwest.

Some people also said that Shen Zhu was collaborating with the enemy and treason, and wanted to take the opportunity to let the Northwest barbarians invade when the court was weak.

Even those who don't question Shen Zhu's loyalty will say that Shen Zhu is violent and warlike, and wastes people's money.

Gradually, when Chao Zhongchen mentioned Shen Zhu, he consciously connected it with the successive years of war.

This is still the victory of that battle. If it is lost, it will be even worse.

Counting and counting, there is no good word.

In the history books of the future, the young man who had the talent to rely on horses back then couldn't escape the infamy.

Suddenly mentioning the past, Eunuch Qing was not sure what the emperor meant, so he stood beside him without saying a word.

The emperor didn't intend to embarrass him, he returned to his previous state after he finished feeling, picked up the booklet and told Eunuch Qing to step down.

Not only did Eunuch Qing not understand what the emperor meant, but all the civil and military officials who learned about the marriage did not know what the emperor meant.

Because outsiders don't know about it, but all the veteran officials in the court know about this rumor.

It was a crime for Shen Zhu to resist the decree back then, but it was not the reason for the heavy casualties in the entire Northwest.

As a result, Northwest suffered heavy casualties, and it was not someone else who broke his legs when Shen Zhu was in high spirits.

It's Li Jue.
