Chapter 283 Talking nonsense?
Liu Qinbing understood the implication of his words - he was afraid that Xie Yuan's life would be lost if the delay was too long.

So he sighed helplessly, said nothing more, and flicked the whip in his hand to make the carriage go faster.

If you arrive early, you can have a good rest and recuperate.

The day before yesterday, Shen Liuzhen used a tricky trick, knelt outside the city gate overnight, was carried in with a pale face and a fever.

At that time, Emperor Shi Yu Wulei was very surprised. In his consciousness, Shen Liuzhen was the hero who helped him get out of the trough of life and death, his comrade in arms, and his most trusted partner.

If you have anything to say, you can tell it directly, and you don't need to be like other courtiers who can't afford to kneel down and make such a big battle to embarrass yourself.

Ah... even if he had some kind of feud with Lord Chongsu, it wouldn't be like this?

What a big deal it is. If you want to risk your life and kneel outside on a winter night, you must be anxious to see him.

Regardless of Wu Lei's objection, Shen Liuzhen's eyes were wandering, but he insisted on kneeling and speaking first:
"Your Majesty, did Prince Chongsu say yesterday why he invited his ministers to the mansion?"

Ulei frowned, and said, "He didn't... Lord Yubayashi, whom I sent out, came back to report, but he just sneered and said that you had already gone back."

Shen Liuzhen raised his hands, his wide sleeves formed a door, lowered his head and shook his body involuntarily.

Wu Lei scolded him: "You fucking don't know what's good and what's wrong. If you have anything to say, wait until the imperial doctor has seen it. Is it possible that I don't want to listen to you when you're not sick?!"

"No, you must say it now. If I don't say it, I will have trouble sleeping and eating." Shen Liuzhen blinked weakly, and then raised his hand higher.

He was born to be good-looking.At this time, his face was pale and crumbling, which made people feel pitiful and sympathetic.Ulay urged him irritably:

"Then speak up!"

"Your Majesty, please let these people go out. I just want to talk to you alone." Shen Liuzhen's voice was weak.

Because of the emperor's will, the imperial physicians who surrounded him waiting to treat him, and the court ladies who waited to serve him to lie down all looked at each other suspiciously.

Ulay was even more irritable, and immediately raised his hand and yelled at those people: "Let's go! Let's go! Get out first!"

"Yes." After the palace servants and eunuchs retreated in response, Shen Liuzhen said:

"Yesterday, Lord Chongsu said that he suspected that my fiancée, Miss Xie's, is a school captain of the enemy country."

Wu Lei's eyes widened speechlessly, and he said, "...That's all? Didn't Heng Jia mention this matter a long time ago? Didn't you say you'd wait for her to come?"

Shen Liuzhen's pale face showed guilt, his voice sank, and he said in a rather heartbroken tone: "She won't come."

Ulay was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, I trust you no matter what, and I won't punish you just because of their words."

"No...Your Majesty. I didn't believe what Lord Chongsu said at the time, so I argued with him. Lord Chongsu also felt that it was reasonable, so he let me go back. But after I went back, I couldn't sleep after thinking about it. You I know the character of Lord Chongsu, even if it is a rumor, even he believed it, and almost killed me with a knife..."

"He used the knife?!" Wu Lei was surprised, interrupting Shen Liuzhen's words.

"No, the important thing is... I'm afraid that what they said is not groundless... What if? What if my fiancée concealed something from me and lied to me...Although I knew that Song Guo could win at that time , it’s all because Prince Muhe is greedy for credit, and it has nothing to do with the leak of military intelligence. But what if she is really the school lieutenant of the Song Dynasty? In any case... I am afraid that I will bear the charge of being a foreigner. "

After Shen Liuzhen finished speaking, he put his hands on the ground and bowed down, as if saying goodbye to life and death.

Wu Lei looked at Shen Liuzhen, dumbfounded, and suddenly fell down on the throne behind him, without saying a word for a long time.

He had never thought about such a serious matter.It is impossible to survive the crime of being connected to a foreign country.

After a while, his deep eyes flickered, and his voice was very soft, as if talking to himself, and said:
"If there is no evidence, don't accuse yourself of such a big crime."

Shen Liuzhen raised his head slowly, raised his eyes, looked at Wu Lei, and asked carefully: "Then what if it's true?"

Ulay frowned, turned his gaze to the side, and said:
"You have told me everything you did, and I know it all, although the inside story of these things cannot be shared with outsiders..."

He paused, raised his face, seemed to have strengthened his mind, looked at the void and said confidently:

"I am the emperor, and you are a hero who works for me. Don't worry, I will definitely keep my loyal ministers."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes looking at Wu Lei who was sitting in the seat, but he was more moved.

He straightened up, tears were shining in those big eyes, which made Ulay feel worried.

Ulay twisted his shoulders uncomfortably, as if shaking off the goose bumps on his body, and comforted him:

"Okay, I've finished talking, let the imperial doctor show you...you look at me with such a delicate appearance, it's really uncomfortable...you look like the concubines in my harem. "

Hearing this, Shen Liuzhen quickly raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears from his eyes, sobbed, and his voice returned to a serious literati demeanor, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I request that I, as an imperial envoy, go to the border of the Southern Song Dynasty to be in charge of peace talks, and investigate the matter of Miss Xie's family by the way. I must see with my own eyes whether the captain of the Song Dynasty is really her."

Ulay asked: "After reading it, if it's really her. What should you do?"

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Ulay sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it after the matter is cleared up. It's not the best. If it is, then talk about it."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Liuzhen tilted his body and fell down heavily.

He is really sick...

No one can just kneel for hours outdoors in winter and still be unscathed.

Shen Liuzhen had a fever and almost lost his mind.It was in the palace, Wu Lei watched, the imperial physicians injected needles and administered medicine, which made his fever subside.

When he woke up, Shen Liuzhen was still holding on to Ulei's sleeve tightly.After he reacted, he was so scared that he quickly let go.

Ulay, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and asked him mockingly and disdainfully:

"Shen Liuzhen, look at how promising you are. Do you know what you said when you were confused?"

Shen Liuzhen's eyes widened in fright, looked at the surrounding environment, and found that he was still in the palace, and his heart was broken.

Why is he not at home? ! !
He didn't even dare to drink in front of people, because he was afraid that he would talk nonsense when he was drunk and ruin his image of a "good guy" in front of everyone.

It's all right now, burnt out and talking nonsense in front of the emperor? ! ! ! !

"Chen...you are confused...you said...what?" Shen Liuzhen asked nervously.

As he spoke, he was about to stand up with his arms propped up, but was pushed back by Ulay.
