Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

Shen Rongci had a premonition that if Gu Chiyuan wasn't optimistic at this time, maybe he would do something.

Fortunately, before he could speak, Concubine Jin on the side said: "Don't rest for now, let's go in with me to meet the Holy Majesty later. Presumably the Holy Majesty also has something to say to you."

She knew that after tonight, many things would change drastically, whether it was for Gu Chiyuan or Shen Rongci.She wants to be with the two kids.

Concubine Jin took the two of them to wait outside the palace, waiting for the emperor's summons.I don't know what Duke Chongning brought the crown prince inside and said to the emperor, but only an imperial doctor was sent in on the way, and when the gate of the palace opened again, only Duke Chongning was inside.

Lord Chongning bowed to Concubine Jin, and then looked at Gu Chiyuan: "Your Majesty, please."

From the beginning to the end, he did not set his eyes on Shen Rongci.However, Shen Rongci has long been used to this cheap father's indifference, and doesn't expect any changes in this awkward father-son relationship in the future.

Shen Rongci walked in behind Concubine Jin and Gu Chiyuan, cleverly didn't say much, just pretended to be air, and stood at the back, side by side with General Cao.

General Cao also asked him curiously in a low voice: "Why didn't the young general stand in front with Prince Shu?"

Shen Rongci smiled meaningfully: "That's the matter of the Tian family, why should I join in the fun as a servant?"

General Cao was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and gave him a complimenting look: "Everyone outside thinks that the Major General is a traitor and traitor, but it's not the case today. To be clear, Cao admires it."

Chaotic thief?

How did those people outside promote him?

Shen Rongci didn't speak any more.He knew that now that the crown prince and queen had fallen from their horses, and Prince Yan died tragically, the throne could only belong to Gu Chiyuan.If he is still in a hurry to reveal his "husband and wife" relationship with Gu Chiyuan, it will only lead to death.

How could the future emperor marry a man?How could there ever be a "husband"?

He is now keeping a distance from Gu Chiyuan, which is the best choice for both of them.

Shen Rongci's thoughts have drifted away, and he is not interested in listening carefully to what was said earlier.During the period, General Cao by his side was called to the front, probably to praise him for his meritorious service in escorting tonight.

Seeing that he had almost finished speaking, the emperor intentionally wanted Gu Chiyuan to leave the conversation alone, so that everyone else would retreat first.Shen Rongci was turning around to leave when he heard Gu Chiyuan's voice in front:

"The emperor has something to say, and I want my husband to stay and listen together."

The word "husband" resounds loudly.

In an instant, everyone in the hall turned their heads and stared at Shen Rongci who was at the back.Everyone has different looks and weird complexions.

Shen Rongci wished he could rush forward and sew Gu Chiyuan's mouth shut—anyone with a brain should have guessed what the emperor left him to say at this time, how could he leave others to listen?And this kind of address is nothing more than talking about it in private, how can it be in front of the emperor...

The emperor was silent for a while, as if he agreed, and saw Concubine Jin raised her voice, "Ci'er, come here quickly."

The rest of the people retreated. General Cao passed by him and made a "silent mourning" expression. Only Concubine Jin patted him on the shoulder gently, signaling him not to worry too much.

The door was closed from behind, leaving only Shen Rongci and Gu Chiyuan in the hall.The emperor was half leaning on the bed, the candle was dimly lit, and his emotions could not be seen. Shen Rongci could only take a rough look at his thin outline, and could not help but sigh that the emperor was really old, and even gave people a sense of dying. The feeling of an old tree.

Shen Rongci silently said something offensive in his heart, stepped forward and saluted, wanting to continue to stand aside and pretend to be airless.

This time his air dream failed to come true, Gu Chiyuan stretched out his hand and pulled him to his side, even wanting to grab his hand.

He was carried behind Shen Rongci's back and escaped.

Gu Chiyuan made persistent efforts, and continued to reach behind him to find his hand. He had already grabbed it, but Shen Rongci pulled it out unceremoniously, and patted the back of his hand as a warning.

Sure enough, Gu Chiyuan obediently did not grab his hand again.

The emperor seemed to be unwell, coughed dryly, ended the farce between the two, and said: "It turns out that the major general is here tonight, why didn't you come forward to answer me just now? I have missed your compliments."

Shen Rongci said seriously: "It is the duty of the general to be able to catch the rebels. Besides, the general has not made any great achievements. Compared with Prince Shu, what the general has done is not worth mentioning."

The emperor did not continue this topic, and pondered for a moment: "I know that for so many years, Yan family has held the crown prince in his hands, and the power has been poured into the government and the public. You have suffered a lot of grievances and grievances. I hope you can understand. But many things and many choices are definitely not mine. As I wished, I also forbeared for a long time and gave up a lot. If it wasn't for this, I am afraid that today's thousands of miles of land would have to change their surnames... Major General, do you understand?"

What grievances can the Shen family have?It's just a family of tool people.

Shen Rongci knew that although the emperor said this sentence to him on the surface, he actually said it to Gu Chiyuan through him.

He turned his head quietly, and glanced at Gu Chiyuan's expression, seeing that he was expressionless, seemingly indifferent.

Others might not be able to see his joy and anger, but Shen Rongci could feel that Gu Chiyuan would not be relieved by the emperor's light words.

In order to get rid of Yan Jia, the emperor did forbear and make concessions.But this is not a reason for Gu Chiyuan to forgive him.

Could it be that Gu Chiyuan fed snakes with his body, used blood as medicine, and offered the emperor's body what he deserved?Was he born to bear these pains?

Could it be that Gu Chiyuan's biological mother was framed by the queen and given a three-foot white silk, and Gu Chiyuan and Lin Lin lost their mother at such a young age, and at the same time lost their father's care?

Now the emperor can indeed openly announce to the world that Gu Chiyuan is the only crown prince and the only successor in the world, but if the sixth prince and Prince Yan hadn't died, would it really be Gu Chiyuan's turn to take the throne?

In order to keep his country, the emperor made a forbearance, seemingly sacrificing a lot.But how do these compare with the damage Gu Chiyuan suffered?

Shen Rongci knew that it would be unnecessary to care about things until now, and many things are irreversible and cannot be changed.

But he just refused to accept it.

"Everything done by the Holy Majesty is for the sake of the country and the community. What the General and the Shen family did is only one ten-thousandth, which is not enough to be compared with the sacrifice of the Holy Majesty. It is just that the General feels that it is not worth it for Prince Shu. It is true , As the emperor of the world, as the monarch of Prince Shu, it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes; but as the biological father of Prince Shu, you owe too much, and now you still owe him an apology."

Gu Chiyuan didn't expect him to say that, his phoenix eyes widened slightly, and he looked at him in surprise.

And the emperor didn't even think that one day he would be pointed at the nose by his ministers and said something wrong, and he was a little annoyed: "Young general should know that you shouldn't stay in this palace now. You shouldn't listen to some words, And there are some words that shouldn't come out of your mouth."

"Yes, I will understand later."

The emperor stared at him impatiently: "Forget it, the major general must also need to rest, please step down first, I still have something to say to Prince Shu alone."

Before Gu Chiyuan could say anything, Shen Rongci agreed first and left quickly.

When only the emperor and Gu Chiyuan were left in the room, the emperor sighed, as if he finally wanted to pick up some of the few family ties.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was inevitable that Shen Rongci would be reprimanded: "You know that I have important matters to discuss with you, so why bother to keep Shen Rongci behind? The ridiculous marriage between you and him cannot be counted, and you Why do you have to think so highly of him? You can play for fun, and a dewy marriage can barely be regarded as a good talk, and you can really turn a blind eye to him. But you should remember that no matter who it is, once you are praised If you have a status higher than your status, you will forget your duty... I have said long ago that killing Shen Rongci will make it easier for you to succeed in the future."

In the words, there are quite a few criticisms of Shen Rongci.

But in the next second, the emperor was speechless.

A hand as white as jade bamboo grabbed his neck, and it was tightened without hesitation, blocking all the emperor's breathing.

The emperor blushed, looked at his fifth son in horror, opened his mouth but could not utter a word.

With his back to the candlelight, Gu Chiyuan's face was a bit gloomy, but there was no trace of murderous intent in his eyes.The emperor can be sure without any doubt that he will be strangled to death by him in the next moment.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Gu Chiyuan looked at him with frost on his face, his voice was as low as the most beautiful piano sound, "Because Shen Rongci didn't want me to do such a thing, if I kill you now, He will be angry."

The emperor's skinny hands struggled to grab his hand, but due to lack of oxygen, he couldn't use any strength.

"However, I can not kill you today because of Shen Rongci, but it doesn't mean that I won't kill you next time..." Gu Chiyuan smiled faintly, "If next time, I hear you complain about Shen Rongci again, don't you?" It will end as well as today. You also have to remember that your life today was given to you by Shen Rongci, understand?"

The emperor rolled his eyes, and his consciousness gradually lost, as if he could no longer hear his words clearly.

Seeing the old man's saliva flowing down his chin because he couldn't close his mouth, Gu Chiyuan frowned in disgust, as if he was afraid of getting any contamination, so he let go of his hand mercifully.

The emperor immediately lay down beside the bed, coughing loudly, as if a broken bellows was installed in his chest, making an unpleasant "ho ho" sound.

Gu Chiyuan took out his handkerchief, wiped his hands clean slowly, and said in a cold voice: "It's okay to call for help now, Duke Chongning and General Cao are still waiting outside the hall. Of course, if you want to take Jiangshan Give it to Yan Shi again, you can kill me now, and it will not be too late to invite your good prince back."

After all, ignore the other party, turn around and leave.

The emperor finally recovered his breath, looking at the empty hall, suddenly a sense of sadness rose from the bottom of his heart.

On the night when the sixth prince died suddenly, when he had no choice but to choose Gu Chiyuan as a pawn to check and balance the prince and Yan, he should have thought of today's situation.

He smiled wryly and wanted to get out of bed, but because he had no strength, he almost fell down.

He leaned on the chair, strutted his body and walked to the copybook, found a blank imperial edict, and wrote the edict with a trembling pen.

He had no choice nine years ago, and he still has no choice today.It was because Gu Chiyuan grasped this point that he showed his killing intent so confidently.After all, if Gu Chiyuan wanted to lose, he would only lose his life, and as the emperor, he could not afford to lose anything.

After all, perhaps all this has long been settled.From the day I decided to use Gu Chiyuan's blood to make medicine for myself.

Maybe the major general is right, he is a disqualified father after all.

After all, he owed Gu Chiyuan.

After the edict was finished, the emperor stopped writing, only to realize that he was already in tears.
