[Rebirth] Sovereign and ministers get along

With the grace of the Holy Grace, it is a great honor to allow the coffin of Shen Lanqing, the first-class guard, to go to Beijing to return to the mansion for the funeral.

After receiving the funeral letter, the lantern in front of Duke Wei's mansion was covered with white gauze that night, and a set of Shen Lanqing's clothes was found and put in the coffin to set up the mourning hall.

In the officialdom, besides the monarch and his boss, the most important thing to neglect is news.

The news of the accidental death of the eldest son of the Shen family in Huifengtang spread throughout the official circles of the capital and the elite circles of the imperial city that night.

There are those who are grieving, there are those who gloat, and there are also those who don't care about themselves and watch from the sidelines. However, no matter what they think in their hearts, or how they laugh in private, when they go out, their faces are more or less sad And regret, only for the gesture of grace made by the Holy Majesty - the Holy Majesty not only allowed Shen Lanqing's coffin to enter Beijing, but also went to the Duke of Wei's mansion to burn incense in front of the coffin.

The marriage between Geng and Shen's two mansions made countless people resentful, among which the Su family brothers were the most.Now that Shen Lanqing had an accident, although the Su family brothers came to pay their respects with sorrow on their faces, they came here to watch the fun in private.

Unexpectedly, Geng Liangshen, who regarded his eldest granddaughter as a top-notch person, was actually willing to let the top-notch person guard the mourning hall in mourning, and this widow would have to keep mourning for at least three years.

Scholars all praised Geng's family for being sensible, and Miss Geng's grandson for being noble and clean.

Su Shuo snorted in his heart: "Ms. Sun of Geng's family is only sixteen after three years. That old fox Geng Liangshen is really good at calculating. gained a good reputation..."

However, no matter what the truth is, what the world sees is only the righteousness of the Geng family and the chastity of Miss Sun of the Geng family.

Yue Yu met the lady of the Geng family who was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety in front of the coffin of the Duke of Wei's mansion, and when he returned to the palace, he issued an order to seal a third-rank Shuren.

Immediately afterwards, the rewards from the Jingning Palace and the Ningfang Palace entered the Geng Mansion.

Shen Lanqing has not yet married and had children, Shen Shuo, the left servant of the household department, left overnight to go to Zijingguan to help Ling back to Beijing.

Before the coffin returned to Beijing, the funeral was destined to be infinitely beautiful.

Countless news came out of the capital, and a few letter eagles mixed in and flew south one after another.

"Shen Lanqing is dead." King Yun dropped the sunspots, and calmly ate five white ones from King Jing.

"Hmm..." Prince Jing casually dropped his hand, eating a big dragon from King Yun instead, "I've been bothering Uncle Wang for so many days, I should go back to Lujiang."

"Is it easy for Yue Yuan to use it?"

"..." Prince Jing raised his eyes and smiled, "What does Uncle Wang mean?"

"Wuhe..." King Yun lowered his eyes, finished counting the chess pieces, and said without joy or anger, "Prince Jing is very good at chess."

"Uncle Meng gave in, and I was lucky enough to win a son."

"More than one piece?" King Yun threw the last piece into the chessboard, "Prince Jing set up a good game, and this king is astonished."

"Uncle Wang praises..." Prince Jing flicked off the petals on his robe, "Can't bear it."

King Yun didn't say yes or no, but there was a sneer in his eyes.

Prince Jing smiled without saying a word, still maintaining a detached and carefree attitude.

Having known each other for more than ten years, the few times Prince Jing got involved in common affairs were all for Yue Xian.

Even Yue Yuan, who had won half of King Jing's heart, was decisively thrown out by King Jing as a pawn as far as Yue Xian's interests were concerned.

It's really fortunate that Shen Lanqing probed into the inner study, otherwise, I don't know how much effort it would take to get King Jing into the water, and to confirm the rumor that King Yun and King Jing are in the same breath.

There is nothing wrong with making the best use of the situation, but Prince Jing doesn't take me as a father seriously...

King Yun raised his hand, and gave an order lightly: "Stop chasing and killing Shen Lanqing, and search for Yue Yuan with all your strength. You want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death."

This move happened to coincide with Prince Jing who had just left Prince Yun's mansion.

Bauhinia Ridge, Bauhinia Pass Guancheng.

Shen Shuo hurried over with a tired look, looked at Shen Lanqing's "corpse" with a wooden face, did not say a word about Shen Lanqing's death, and locked himself in the room after exchanging greetings with Di Jingde, and did not come out for two days One step to the door.

Ding'an five years, April [-].

The waning moon is hidden in the clouds, the night wind blows over the blooming bauhinia in the courtyard, and the dark fragrance floats into the half-covered window.

The lights in the window flickered, and the silhouette printed on the window paper put down the scroll, stood up and stood in front of the window, and opened the window sash gently after a while.

Shen Lanqing hid in the shadows, looking at the window.

I haven't seen him in three months, but my father is dressed in plain clothes, as thin as before, with a pair of phoenix eyes staring coldly at the dark night sky, and the night wind blows the ends of his hair.

The tiredness and worry that could not be concealed between Shen Shuo's brows crashed straight into Shen Lanqing's heart, Shen Lanqing frowned slightly, jumped into the room, and closed the window smoothly: "Father."

"En." Shen Shuo didn't seem surprised, turned around upon hearing the sound, and looked at Shen Lanqing, the coldness in her phoenix eyes was no longer only warm, and there was no worry left between her brows.

"Father..." Shen Lanqing stepped forward to support Shen Shuo's arm, and blamed himself in a low voice, "My son is not filial, and my father is tired of worrying."

"Speaking nonsense, do you know if the person lying there is a father and son?" Shen Shuo slightly annoyed, then frowned, "Where have you been hiding these days? How did you come up with the feigned death?"

"It's a long story..."

That day, as soon as Shen Lanqing blew the bamboo flute, Yue Yuan, who was lying on the grass, seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit.

No one expected that Yue Yuan, who looked at the frail and frail, had inherited the natural power of King Yun, and the cold arrow shot straight at Shen Lanqing's back.

Shen Lanqing was defenseless, but Shen Yi threw himself to block the arrow.

The arrow penetrated into the bone, piercing Shen Yi's shoulder, and in just an instant, dark red blood sprayed on Shen Lanqing's face, staining his eyes red.

"Yue Yuan seems to have lost his mind, staring at his son with killing intent in his eyes..." Shen Lanqing frowned, recalling, "Also, he treats others as nothing, ignores the threats of soldiers throwing arrows, and only wants to kill his son wholeheartedly. "

Shen Shuo frowned and murmured.

Shen Lanqing glanced at Shen Shuo, lowered her eyes, and continued: "Before leaving, the emperor ordered my son to bring Yue Yuan back to the capital."

"En." Shen Shuo was not surprised that the Holy Majesty would have such an edict.

"In Yue Yuan's state, I really can't think of a way to take him back to the capital quietly..." Shen Lanqing raised his eyes and looked at Shen Shuo, "Besides, the closer you get to the capital, the more bandits there are, except for some miscellaneous ways Before entering the Zijing Ridge, there were only two groups of people who troubled Erchen and his pedestrians. After entering the Zijing Ridge, another group appeared, and the attack was extremely ruthless. The first two groups only wanted to kill their son, but later that group came out. I have no scruples..."

"... In order to arrive in Beijing as soon as possible, the son had no choice but to make such a bad plan. It made grandfather, father and mother worry. Lan Qing is really unfilial."

"Who is that corpse?"

"Yue Yuan."

Shen Shuo raised his eyes and waited for Shen Lanqing to explain. Shen Lanqing poured a bowl of tea and held it to Shen Shuo: "Before in Kunlun Mountains, Mr. Bai and Yishan's master made a pill that could maintain a state of suspended animation for a month. At that time, the master After taking two pills, Mr. Bai gave all the rest to his son, which just came in handy this time."

"Fengying is good at disguise, so my son asked him to disguise Yue Yuan into his son's appearance. In this way, Yue Yuan can be transported to the capital in an upright manner, and he can also temporarily confuse the bad guys, avoid the endless pursuit, and return to the capital as soon as possible. .”

"This afternoon, my son saw that many people who were chasing and blocking his son's return to the capital had dispersed, so he knew that this method had already worked. It's just that his father had to travel thousands of miles to run away like this."

"It's okay to be a father..." Shen Shuo pondered, "The "Famous Mountain Records" left by my great-uncle Mu Hua mentioned similar symptoms. cast invisible..."

"If it's a Gu poison, if you think about it, there will be a solution. Even if he can't, his master will definitely be able to cure it." Shen Lanqing breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, there is no need to worry about Yue Yuan."

"My son's trip is really dangerous, fortunately..." My son is fine, Shen Shuo raised his hand, and rubbed the blood on Shen Lanqing's cheek with the back of his finger, "The injury is not deep, after returning home, put on a month's ointment and it will be fine." leave scars."

"It's just a minor injury. Father doesn't have to worry. My son has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has Shen Yi, Uncle Sui and six shadow attendants with him, so it's more than enough to protect himself." When Shen Yi was mentioned, Shen Lanqing's eyes flashed complicated.

Shen Shuo frowned slightly: "Shen Yi, can you still use it?"

"Use it."

"As long as you can handle it clearly, it's up to you..." Shen Shuo resumed his calm posture, took a sip of his tea, and said, "Now, there are two things that are imminent."

Shen Lanqing raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"The news of your fake death spread to the palace. The Holy Majesty not only allowed your coffin to go to Beijing for the funeral, but also went to burn incense in front of the coffin that night..."

"...The Geng family got the news that Ms. Geng has guarded the spirit for you." After speaking, Shen Shuo looked at Shen Lanqing quietly, "How do you feel?"

"..." The narrow-minded emperor probably already guessed that he was pretending to be dead, and he was so hypocritical. He didn't know what he was thinking about trying to pinch him. After being defeated, "Shang Shang Long Chong, Miss Geng Gao Yi."

"If that corpse really belonged to my son, everything would be logical. Now..." Shen Shuo tapped the table twice with his fingertips, "No matter what the reason is, cheating death is deceiving the emperor. When you return home, you must go directly to the palace to plead guilty."

"Yes."

"Before coming to Zijingguan, your grandfather sent someone to Kunlun Mountain to send a letter to your second uncle urging him to return home..." Shen Shuo looked at Shen Lanqing with a warm smile, "This time, the Geng family's righteousness has given the Shen family enough face. The Shen family must not disappoint the Geng family, Miss Geng has already put on mourning for you, my son must not embarrass Miss Geng, after being forgiven by the Holy Spirit, your second uncle will go to the Geng's family to deliver the letter of engagement, and choose an auspicious day to get married as soon as possible. "

"It's all up to my father."
