He Shen didn't sleep well last night, and was planning to take a good rest at this moment, but he was summoned by the queen mother.

Walking on the gravel road, He Shen asked the eunuch who was summoned in a low voice: "This father-in-law, I don't know why the queen mother called the eunuch down?" After speaking, he wanted to slip a silver ticket over.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only refused to answer, but instead said in a strange way: "Your Majesty and I will know when we arrive."

He Shen now understands that he can't be kind anymore.

Eunuchs generally love money, as long as there is no major issue, they will not refuse money.Now the eunuch refuses to accept it, fearing that the queen mother wants to punish him.

He thought of the Nalan Xingde matter that Hongli had mentioned.

Could it be...

Arriving at the outer courtyard of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, He Shen saw a middle-aged eunuch approaching, glanced sideways at He Shen, and said, "My lord, kneel down to accept the order?"

He Shen looked at the uneven cobblestones on the ground and was taken aback for a moment.Accepting the order here, what does the Queen Mother mean?

After thinking about it, He Shen knelt down as he said.

"He Shen accepts the order."

The middle-aged eunuch said: "He Shen is arrogant because he is favored, frivolous, dereliction of duty, and punished to kneel for three hours."

He Shen was stunned for a moment.

Punishment to kneel is actually not a punishment, but ordinary people will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall if their children are naughty.But that is kneeling on flat ground with soft cushions.

But the place chosen by the queen mother is too good, the ground is uneven and there is no padding, if he kneels for three hours, his legs may be useless.

Now the only person who can save him is Hongli, but this is the outer courtyard of the queen mother's bedroom, and most of the people are her confidantes, so it would be wishful thinking to find someone to inform fourth master.

After the queen mother's edict was read out, everyone left together, leaving He Shen alone to kneel there.

He Shen thought to himself, is his luck much better than that gifted Nalan?

Nalan Xingde was given to death directly, and he can still linger here for a while.

However, the empress dowager's actions are also related to the growing prestige of the fourth master.After all, it's something a smart person wouldn't do to make trouble for a person like himself and the emperor's son.

Her old man was like this, just taking the opportunity to hit him.Let him see his identity clearly.

Although I was thinking wildly in my heart, the pain on my body could not be relieved at all.

He Shen felt that his legs were already terribly numb, but he dared not move a little.

He guessed that the queen mother must have sent someone to watch him. If he moved, he might be charged with resisting the order.

Now I can only rely on cranky thinking and spend time.

I don't know if someone will notify fourth master?Preferably no one.That way fourth master wouldn't be able to face his mother-in-law face to face.

I don't know why, but He Shen is confident that if Hongli finds out, he will definitely come to save him, and he will not hesitate to fall out with the Queen Mother.

It was cold outside the Great Wall in autumn, and he didn't feel it for a short time, but after a long time, He Shen only felt the cold air enter his body along his knees.

The knee was numb and itchy at first, and then it was excruciating pain. As time went by, the pain didn't lessen, but it became more painful to the bone marrow. Even though He Shen had extraordinary endurance, he also found it unbearable.

I was sweating in pain all over my body, and when the cold wind blew, it was bitingly cold.

He Shen wished he couldn't pass out, but his consciousness was always so clear, soberly enduring this inhuman torture.

I don't know how long it took, but He Shen only felt that his consciousness was a little fuzzy.Just when he was about to faint, someone picked him up.

The tip of his nose smelled a familiar smell, and He Shen closed his eyes in peace.

…………

When Hongli reviewed the memorial early in the morning, he felt a little restless.Most of the excerpts were boring greetings, so Hongli ordered Wu Shu to come and call He Shen.

Time flies faster with Heshen by his side.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time for Wu Shulai to come back, and He Shen did not follow.

Hongli was immediately displeased, could it be that Wu Shulai hadn't gone looking for Zhizhai?Or did Zhizhai go elsewhere?

"What about Zhizhai?"

"Going back to the emperor, the slave just went to He-sama's place, and the servant said that He-sama was announced by the queen mother." Wu Shulai replied cautiously.

"what?"

Hongli stood up in surprise.How could the Queen Mother summon Heshen?

Hongli had bad thoughts in his heart.Regardless of other matters, he got up and went to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The Empress Dowager was not surprised to see Hongli approaching, and waved the crowd to retreat.

Hongli didn't want to go around in circles with the queen mother, so he asked directly: "Mother Huang'er, where is He Shen?"

Empress Dowager Niu Hulu sighed: "Emperor, you are the king of a country, what do you look like in a panic because of a man?"

"Emperor Niang, my son is indeed the emperor, but a son is also a human being, and he has love in his heart. Now that the person he loves is missing, it is reasonable for my son to worry."

The Empress Dowager did not expect Hongli to admit his relationship with Heshen so quickly, she frowned and said, "This person will tarnish the emperor's name."

Hongli snorted coldly: "My son believes in his control over the country. As long as the Queen Mother doesn't deal with He Shen, no one will dare to spread words that are not good for his son and him."

Seeing Hongli's forbearance, the queen mother knew that the emperor was really moved.

Even when Huixian was still alive, Hongli didn't come over so impatiently to contradict his mother-in-law.

She was also trained in the deep palace, knowing that all her glory and wealth were obtained through Hongli, so she didn't want to get stiff with her son because of a petty boy.

After pondering for a while, Niu Hulu calmed down and said: "Since the emperor has already thought it over clearly, the queen's mother didn't say much. The child's family didn't make things difficult for him, but just let him kneel in the garden for a while." .Since you are here, take him back."

Hongli just knelt for a while when he heard it, and finally felt relieved.After a few more words with the queen mother, he was taken to find Heshen.

As soon as he walked into the gravel road in the garden, Hongli became angry, "Do you want Sir He to kneel in such a place?"

The eunuch who announced the decree quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "This slave deserves to die."

"Damn you, hum!" Hongli hurried forward, he couldn't imagine what would happen if He Shen knelt on such a ground for so long.

From a distance, I saw the straight man still kneeling, but when I looked carefully, I found that his hands were tightly held all the time, as if he was enduring some torture.

With his head slightly drooping, he couldn't see what his expression was, but Hongli could imagine that He Shen's expression at this time would definitely not be good-looking.

He strode forward and hugged him in his arms, but He Shen just rubbed his skirt slightly before passing out.

Hongli was shocked: "Wu Shulai, pass on to the imperial physician, quickly pass on to the imperial physician."

Hongli is good at riding and shooting, and holding Heshen is also a piece of cake.Just looking at the motionless person in his arms, Hongli felt distressed for a while. His Zhizhai was hurt under his protection.Fortunately, Queen Mother didn't want to kill, otherwise...

Hongli was afraid for a while, he was a bit too self righteous these days, thinking that without the concubine Ling who had been in power for a long time in the palace, he could sit back and relax, but he forgot that although his empress mother was old, she still had power.

Putting him in front of others, but failing to protect him, is his own dereliction of duty.

"Wu Shulai, pass the decree to get rid of the slaves who just participated in this matter." At first, he thought that the people around the emperor's mother didn't want to deal with it, but seeing Zhizhai lying in his arms so powerlessly, Hongli felt full of joy. There is no way to vent his anger.

Hongli looked gloomyly at Doctor Li treating He Shen, until Doctor Li covered He Shen's legs with a quilt before he asked, "How?"

Imperial Physician Li sighed deeply, and replied: "Going back to the emperor, your lord's leg injury has been healed well, but I'm afraid that the root cause of the disease will be left behind, and I won't be able to stand for a long time in the future, and it will hurt when the weather is cold and humid."

"What did you say?" Hongli stood up abruptly, and asked, "Isn't it just a punishment to kneel? How could it leave the root of the disease? Which civil and military ministers don't kneel? Why are all of them okay, but when it's Heshen's turn, you tell me Is something wrong?"

It was the first time that Doctor Li saw the emperor being so frightened and angry, his heart was pounding, and he said more carefully: "Punishment for kneeling depends on how you kneel, and your lord is kneeling on a gravel road, which is already uneven and hurts your joints." , outside the Great Wall is a place of bitter cold, and Mr. He's knees were invaded by cold moisture, which is why it is so serious..."

Hongli's body shook a little, Zhi Zhai, his Zhi Zhai, did he have to suffer such pain?

"Is there any way to alleviate it?" Hongli stared closely at Li Taiyi, afraid that he would say something he didn't want to hear.

Thinking of He Shen leaning in his arms with a pale face, he couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.

Zhizhai, it's my fault, I thought I could protect you.But it still makes you suffer so much.

Doctor Li was stared at by the emperor, and he was terrified in his heart, and said cautiously: "In the future, if you can not get cold, not wet and cold, and take good care of your knees, it should be fine in three to five years.

Hearing that He Shen would suffer such pain for at least three to five years, Hongli felt uncomfortable. He waved his hand to make Li Taiyi step down. He felt helpless again. Why, why did it happen to be his own empress? ?

The author has something to say: Heshen’s legs did have problems in history, but the cause is unknown...
