[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

After Hai Lancha stepped back, Hongli looked at He Shen leisurely: "What do you want to say?"

He Shen took a step back slightly, and said flatly: "Slave...I want to ask the emperor, if it's not Qian Feng who was implicated this time, but the slave, would the emperor still be so indifferent?"

Hongli was startled, frowned and said: "Such a thing won't happen..." Seeing Heshen staring at him seriously, Hongli said again: "You understand, that's different..."

But He Shen shook his head, and said stubbornly: "What's the difference? The slave is an official in the same dynasty as Mr. Qian. Although Mr. Qian is often outspoken, it is also his duty. With the Xiezhi make-up clothes on his body, many things will be carried out Can't help..."

Seeing that Hongli's face became more and more gloomy, He Shen's voice became weaker, until it was barely audible: "Master Qian has fallen into such a situation, and this servant can't help but feel a little bit sad."

Hongli was disturbed by the slaves, and seeing that He Shen was pleading for Qian Feng, he interrupted him impatiently: "There are not a few censors in the Manchu dynasty who are as loyal as him. But why was he the only one who had the accident? His temperament of grasping the slightest clues and driving people to death has caused unknowable amount of resentment overtly and secretly... I want to protect him, but in the current situation, how do you want me to protect him? "

He Shen opened his mouth, but swallowed the words again.He wanted to tell Hongli that this was not an unsolvable situation: Hongli was the object of the irony in the original text, and the person who tied the bell had to be untied. If Hongli didn't pursue it anymore, everything would be solved easily.

But is it possible? With Hongli's temperament, he would easily expose this matter.At this moment, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in He Shen's heart: Perhaps Hongli had acquiesced to Qian Feng's situation from the very beginning.

Qian Feng was the first person who protested when the emperor built the Wanfo Tower to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday; Qian Feng also complained about the expenditure of funds during the emperor's east tour.To Hongli, the existence of Qian Feng was like a basin of cold water, which could always be poured over his head and face when he was in high spirits.

In court, Qian Feng made many enemies.So in Hongli's heart, is Qian Feng also a superfluous existence?

He Shen tried his best to suppress his absurd thoughts, but he still couldn't completely conceal his serious expression.Hongli noticed his abnormality, and slowed down his voice: "He Shen, what's wrong with you?"

He Shen shook his head eagerly: "No... no, the emperor won't..."

Seeing that he was completely lost in his own thoughts, Hongli became more and more curious, and he asked, "I don't know what?"

"The emperor...wouldn't want to put Qian Feng to death..." The more He Shen thought about it, the more flustered he became. Under Hongli's questioning, he caught off guard and said what was in his heart.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the emperor was looking at him in shock.Hongli nodded his head, his tone seemed a little weak: "Okay... He Shen... I never knew... You actually look at me like this..." The emperor tried his best to make his voice sound calmer, However, the trembling in his words could not be hidden.

"No... no... Your Majesty..." He Shen was eager to save something, but Hongli's complexion became worse and worse.

A smile suddenly appeared on the gloomy face, and He Shen couldn't help trembling. He heard Hongli smile resignedly and said: "Okay, great!" Hongli raised his finger and pointed at him: "You... Qian Feng... ...Hailancha...you are all loyal...you have the country and the country in your heart, it is me...it is my fault that I don't know good and evil. You are good ministers...I am a foolish king...are you satisfied?"

He Shen shook his head desperately, but Hongli held his breath, and He Shen couldn't get in a word from the beginning to the end. At the end, he heard Hongli roar: "It's my fault, are you satisfied?"

He Shen wanted to speak, but his words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.There are differences between monarchs and ministers. At this moment, he naturally stood in Qian Feng's position, but he didn't realize that the emperor came here not only to reconcile, but also to ask for his relief.

Hongli felt like a fool, and rushed to take a look at this man, but in Heshen's heart, he had already figured out all the reasons for his visit.Now it seems that this person is more inclined towards Qian Feng.

Hongli had no intention of staying here any longer, he flicked his sleeves and strode away without waiting for He Shen to ask to stay.He Shen looked at his back and fell down on the stool in an instant.When Hai Lancha entered the room, what he saw was the distraught He Shen, and there was still an atmosphere of tension in the room.Hai Lancha asked cautiously: "My lord...what's the matter?"

He Shen propped his head guiltily, and said wearily: "I screwed up everything."

In the next few days, rumors circulated in the palace that Hongli lost his temper.The attendants on duty in front of the imperial court were even more cautious.On this day, Ji Xiaolan came to give a lecture to Hongli as usual, but Hai Lancha, who was guarding outside the door, shook his head at him: "Master Ji...you can't come in..." Before he could finish his sentence, there was a buzz in the room. There was the sound of objects breaking.Ji Xiaolan was taken aback: "Your Majesty... what's wrong?"

Just as Hai Lancha was about to speak, there was another crackling sound.This time it seemed to hit the wall, and some broken porcelain splashed up, just stuck on the pasted window paper.

Hai Lancha said softly: "The emperor is in a fit of anger, and several pieces of porcelain decorations that the magistrate painstakingly found have already been smashed."

Ji Xiaolan sighed: "I heard about it, and I thought it was rumored by servants, but I didn't expect it to be true..."

Hai Lancha nodded and said: "That's right, I don't know what He Shen said, so I offended the emperor, and I didn't ask him..."

Inside the house, Hongli sent everyone away.On weekdays, there was always someone waiting in front of him, and now he was finally quiet, but his mood did not improve because of the rare quietness.

The broken porcelain scratched his hand, and the wound continued to ooze blood, but Hongli seemed to feel no pain, leaning on the throne dejectedly: "He Shen... I am a man in your heart. A tyrant who doesn't know right from wrong?"

From the cold war between the two to the Wen Zhe case, Hongli has been thinking, what will He Shen say when he sees him?He was waiting, waiting for He Shen to come to see him as the head of the House of Internal Affairs, and waiting for He Shen to intercede for Qian Feng, but He Shen never came.

For the first time, Hongli realized clearly that He Shen was really angry.Since he didn't come, Hongli took the initiative to look for him. Seeing the shocked expression of the young man, Hongli's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally came to fruition.

He Shen treated him with alienation and indifference, but Hongli didn't care.He even thought that even if He Shen's heart was cold, he could try his best to warm it up.

However, what Hongli didn't expect was that He Shen actually thought that he would take the opportunity to attack Qian Feng in the case of Qian Feng.He didn't even know, in He Shen's mind, did he believe that all of this was ordered by him, that he wanted to get rid of Qian Feng, so he used Wen Zhe's excuse to charge Qian Feng'an with an unnecessary crime.

Hearing what He Shen blurted out from his heart, Hongli was surprised, but also felt a lingering aggrieved feeling in his heart.He wholeheartedly wanted to seek comfort from He Shen and take the opportunity to enhance their relationship.But in Heshen's heart, he is a selfish and unruly king who harms loyal and good people.

The bleeding had stopped, and there was a burst of pain from the wound.However, all of this can't beat the pain in his heart, the pain of being misunderstood by his lover, but he can't explain it.

Hongli is in a fit of anger, and as shrewd as Ji Xiaolan, he will definitely not go up to him to make trouble.However, he did not return to his room, but turned a corner and knocked on He Shen's door.

Ever since Hongli walked away that day, He Shen felt faintly uneasy. He had been waiting for Hongli's order to set up Qufu, but all he had to wait for was Hongli's angry gossip.

There was a knock on the door, and He Shen was taken aback. He quickly walked to the door, but slowly opened the door. When he saw Ji Xiaolan outside the door, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes that could not be restrained.

"My lord...Ji is bothering you..." Ji Xiaolan said with a smile on her face, "Ji is here to discuss tea with your lord. I heard from Mr. Hai that the emperor recently rewarded your lord with Wuyi rock tea. I wonder if Ji is lucky enough to be able to taste the famous Dahongpao?"

From He Shen's point of view, Ji Yun's face sank immediately, and he said lightly: "It's a pity, Mr. Ji may have to make this trip in vain. Although the emperor gave the order, the next But the official's inattention angered the emperor for a moment. I'm afraid the Dahongpao is ruined, if Mr. Ji really wants to drink, he might as well ask the emperor himself."

Ji Xiaolan was not annoyed either, he entered the house on his own without waiting for He Shen's invitation.Seeing the crumpled paper on the ground, he bowed down and picked up one of the balls, and slowly unfolded it: "The pen is stagnant, anticlimactic, and my lord...you are confused..."

He Shen was irritated by his uninvited behavior, and unconsciously raised his voice while speaking: "Master Ji... Has no one told you that breaking into other people's houses is really not a gentleman's action?"

But Ji Xiaolan didn't seem to have heard his words. He went straight to the table, lifted the lid of the teapot, and then let out a sneer: "My lord...you make overnight tea, you really love tea in vain man of……"

He Shen snatched the teapot, and said coldly, "Master Ji...he is really not in the mood to entertain guests today, Mr. Ji, please go back."

Seeing that he was really angry, Ji Yun smiled and said: "My lord... don't worry, Ji came here with a story today. Didn't it often say in the legends of the story, 'I use a romantic affair for Do you have a pot of peerless wine?" Ji Yun imitated the tone of the storyteller, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't have good food and wine, you should make a pot of good tea, otherwise my good story will be wasted gone."

He Shen glanced at him and saw that he was smiling and sitting on the chair by himself without any intention of moving, so he sighed and went to make tea again.
