Chapter 121 The Princess and the Slave (32)

The city gate of the capital was wide open, and a general in iron armor came in majestically from outside the city on a fine horse, attracting the attention of the people in the city. But before he finished enjoying, he saw the carriage in the palace from a distance.

Unexpectedly, just after returning to the city, he received the order to enter the palace to face the saint.

Eunuch Wu finished reading the imperial decree with a high-pitched voice, raised his eyebrows and looked at He Shu who was still standing there, "General He, don't be stupid, let's go into the palace with the miscellaneous family, Your Majesty is in a hurry!"

Before that, He Shu had not received any news from Chu Yan, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but in front of Eunuch Wu, He Shu had no choice but to maintain a calm expression on his face.

"Dare to ask Eunuch, what does His Majesty mean..."

"General He, slaves like the miscellaneous family can guess what His Majesty's thoughts are. The general will know when he sees it."

"This……"

He Shu was startled, the hand holding the imperial decree was slightly hot, and he only had time to whisper to his cronies to inform Chu Yan, while he himself got into the carriage to enter the palace.

Royal Palace
The closer he got to this magnificent place, the higher He Shu's heart became, and he felt that things were beyond his control.Eunuch Wu, who was always smiling, saw that he seemed a little nervous, so he only wanted to let him relax, but he couldn't listen to the number.

His intuition told him that Chu Yu seemed to know something, so he announced him to the palace when he first returned to Beijing.

Soon, He Shu and Eunuch Wu went to the imperial study.

He Shu heard the sound of conversation coming from the imperial study, and turned his head to ask Eunuch Wu who was in the imperial study, but Eunuch Wu quietly left without knowing when.

He Shu opened his mouth and could only bite the bullet and take a step forward, but when he approached the inner room, he froze in place.

Because of him, I heard such a conversation.

"In my opinion, it seems inappropriate to do so."

"Your Majesty is too benevolent," said Yuan Taifu, one of the four assistant ministers left by the late emperor to Chu Yu. He lowered his eyes and lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, this He family is really Can't stay."

"But He Aiqing has just returned from the Northern Expedition, and the He family's army has made countless achievements on the battlefield. It is not appropriate to do so."

"Your Majesty, you need to know that the one who has made great contributions is Deputy Marshal Zhang, not the He family, so..."

He Shu, who has practiced martial arts all the year round, has sharp eyes and ears. Even though the two people in the imperial study room deliberately lowered their voices, he could still hear clearly.

These words fell on He Shu's ears like a thunderbolt, which reminded him of Zhang Jian's abnormal reaction some time ago. Zhang Jian retreated from the initial idea and then suddenly advocated a quick decision. It was precisely because of Zhang Jian's existence. , Shengsheng brought the Northern Expeditionary Army back to the DPRK much earlier.

Even the old lady was left in the palace by Chu Yu, ready to use her to involve the He family at any time, all the plans were so smooth, He Shu couldn't help being startled.

It seems that Chu Yu has long regarded the He family as a thorn in his flesh.

But just when He Shu wanted to continue listening, the two talking in the study stopped at the same time.

"Who's outside?"

Chu Yu in the imperial study seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly shouted, He Shu secretly said something was wrong, then quickly stepped back a few steps, leaned down and said with a forced composure: "Chen, He Shu sees that you are late, please Your Majesty." Forgive me!"

There was silence in the imperial study room for a long time before Chu Yu's voice came, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"General He?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"When did you arrive!"

"After receiving His Majesty's imperial decree, I of course rushed over immediately and did not dare to neglect, but I am not familiar with the Inner Palace, so I took a long detour and arrived at this hour. I am really ashamed. Please punish me by Your Majesty!"

"General He is serious, I have no intention of punishing you," Chu Yu's voice calmed down when He Shu didn't seem to know anything, "General He, I just have something to ask you, come in That's the answer."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing He Shu saluting respectfully and being looked at by him with a restrained look, Chu Yu was completely relieved, and winked at Taifu Yuan, who immediately bent his eyebrows and looked at He Shu.

"As expected of General He, he drove the group of people from Northern Xinjiang out of the Wei border in just two months. It is very fortunate that Great Wei has General He!"

"The Tai Tuo has praised you, this is what I should do."

"Ai Qing, you don't need to be humble, Gu has not rewarded you properly, come and give me a seat!"

After He Shu came out of the royal study, he was already covered in sweat.

During Chu Yu's conversation with him, he never left Zhang Jian in three sentences, and seemed to admire Zhang Jian very much. If He Shu hadn't overheard their conversation, he might still be in the dark at this moment.

However, Zhang Jian was indeed the one who contributed the most to the Northern Expedition. In this way, even if Chu Yu showed interest in Zhang Jian, there would be no suspicion.

It's about He's family, how many of them are involved—you can't just sit idly by.

He Shu paused, looked up at the high eaves not far away, a sparrow was parked on the eaves, he bent down to pick up a stone, and put it in the palm of his hand.

The index finger was slightly bent, and the stone flew out at an extremely fast speed, accurately hitting the sparrow on the eaves, the sparrow fell to the ground, struggled weakly for a few times, and lost its life.

Chu Yu, you will be like this bird soon.

He Shu smiled coldly, flung his sleeves and left.

This scene was all seen in the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi. He stared thoughtfully in the direction He Shuyuan was going. Although his face was still expressionless, there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.

Everything is planned.

Luo Qinghuan is very clear that He Shu's return has changed the distribution of troops in the capital, and Chu Yu's pressure has also become greater and greater.It would be fine if Chu Yan stayed put, and it would be beneficial for Chu Yu if the two of them were in a stalemate, but if there was a sudden attack, Chu Yu would definitely lose.

That being the case, it's better to let Chu Yan have to turn back, and He Shu is the best breakthrough.Compared with Chu Yan, He Shu, who has been in the army all year round, is obviously easier to attack.

It was too late for Chu Yan to discover that He Shu had suddenly changed his mind. He Shu's troops had already moved towards the capital before they had discussed with He Shu. Fortunately, Prime Minister Gu and the Nalan family deliberately covered up It did not attract Chu Yu's attention.

The young emperor sat on the highest position, looking down at the guards pouring in from the palace door, his hands on the dragon chair were clenched into fists where no one could see.
