Chapter 968: Early death and late death are all deaths

Shen Liuzhen looked at Xie Yuan, cried and laughed again, very miserable, and asked:

"A Yuan, do you blame me?"

Xie Yuan endured the pain, his resolute lips were tightly pressed, trembling slightly because of too much force, he looked straight at him for a long time and said:

"It was your father and friends who died, and you are the one who suffers the most... If you are punished, you have already suffered enough. I have no right to blame you. But Liu Zhen, if you really feel uncomfortable, Just do something, at least you can’t live up to His Majesty’s entrustment, and you can’t live up to your hard work over the years.”

Shen Liuzhen's tears burst out immediately, and she lowered her head crying bitterly, as if pouring out all the pain in her heart.

Xie Yuan's eyes were filled with tears, and the hand holding his shoulder gradually loosened. Shen Liuzhen gradually approached her arms, and his forehead rested on her shoulder.

Xie Yuan looked at Shen Liuzhen's trembling shoulders from crying, raised his hand and hesitated for a moment, and finally patted his back gently to comfort him.

……

……

There are still three hours before the car enters Pingcheng.

On the traveling carriage, Shen Liuzhen had just drank the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, and there was a heavy shadow under his red and swollen eyes. Even though he tried his best to keep steady, the obviously rising and falling chest, and the sound of difficult breathing all showed that he was at this moment. His health is very poor, almost terminally ill.

He looked at the silent Dugujian opposite, seemed very tired, leaned his elbows on the soft pillow beside him, leaned slightly and asked:
"General Dugu, now, can we still trust you?"

Under Dugujian's swollen eyeballs, there seemed to be only a slit in his eyes. He raised his eyes to look at Shen Liuzhen, and asked back:
"We? Who are you referring to?"

Shen Liuzhen looked at him fixedly, as if thinking about something, then solemnly said:

"I'm with Your Majesty."

His voice was hoarse, full of pain.

Dugu Jian's eyelids twitched, with tears in the corners of his eyes, he said:
"Before His Majesty regained the throne, I have been following him and protecting him. Naturally, I am loyal to His Majesty and act according to his will! But what about you?
Shen Shizhong, you have been an imperial envoy a few times. In order to make things easier for you, His Majesty asked me to follow you and protect you. We have spent a lot of time together, and I know you well.

You, the deeper you understand, the more dreadful you will be.To be honest, I should be worried about you now.What do you think?Will you really assist the crown prince to ascend the throne according to His Majesty's will?
As far as I know, you have never been optimistic about the prince, and Xie Yuan, you all hate the prince's nanny... His Majesty entrusted you with the imperial decree, what if you have other thoughts? "

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he lowered his eyes and fell silent, as if he had been taken into consideration.

He didn't speak for a long time, and Dugu Jian felt more and more that his thoughts were as deep as the sea.So my heart became more and more uneasy, and finally I couldn't help asking:

"I asked you something!"

Shen Liuzhen sighed, and then said calmly:
"You're right, I did have that kind of thought... The prince is young, and he doesn't show any excellence. In the words of my General Xie, he is as lazy as I am, but Without my heart, the so-called civil and martial arts are irrelevant. If nothing happens to His Majesty, I am willing to wait for him to grow up and teach him to see the result.

But something happened to His Majesty, for the stability of the country of Wei, I have to consider whether he can inherit His Majesty's behest, and don't let Your Majesty and I's hard work for so many years go to waste. "

When Dugu Jian heard this, his eyes flickered, he stretched out his hand and was about to draw his knife, he gritted his teeth and said:
"You really..."

"I haven't finished talking yet...cough cough..." Shen Liuzhen hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, as if he was very scared, but immediately coughed violently, covering his mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't stop it. Yuan quickly jumped in to check.

As soon as she came in, she saw Dugujian holding the knife in her hand, with her back straightened, in a posture ready to exert strength, she grabbed Dugujian's wrist, and shouted sharply:
"Dugujian, what are you doing?!"

Dugujian stared at Shen Liuzhen, saw that he finally stopped coughing, but the veil he took off was covered with blood, and he narrowed his eyes slightly as if his eyes were hurting, then he relaxed, sat back down again, and said indifferently :

"Nothing... I don't think he needs me to do anything, and he won't have a good life for a few days."

When Xie Yuan heard him say this, her heart ached like twists and turns. She watched Shen Liuzhen take back the handkerchief worriedly, her chest heaved violently twice, then put back the resentment in her heart, and said calmly:
"What time is it now, concentrate on discussing major issues, and speak well!"

After finishing speaking, he neatly sat next to Dugujian and remained silent.

Shen Liuzhen took a few breaths to make himself more comfortable, and then said:

"But I still plan to follow His Majesty's will. There are several reasons. First, my family, General Xie, advocates doing so. Second, if someone is changed, no matter who is changed, the Queen and the Crown Prince will end badly. Although I am a bastard , but I also don't want His Majesty's heirs and loved ones to die after him.

Three...Although the crown prince is young, there is still the queen. The queen knows your majesty's grand plans and is capable of assisting your majesty in managing the state affairs. As long as she is allowed to be the regent... the state of Wei cannot be changed. "

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be exhausted, took a few breaths, then tilted his head to look at Dugu Jian, and asked:
"General Dugu, do you believe me when I say this?"

Dugujian's eyes flickered, looking at Shen Liuzhen silently, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.

It was only then that Xie Yuan understood what they were talking about. She looked at Shen Liuzhen in surprise, because she had never thought about violating His Majesty's will, but Shen Liuzhen had already considered these things carefully in cold blood.

Just when he was crying heartbroken because of Ulay's death, dragging his old disease, and almost dying.

Xie Yuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, bit his lip and turned his head away without saying a word.

Shen Liuzhen looked at Dugujian's expression, and came to his own conclusion, saying:
"Okay. According to His Majesty's arrangement before his death, after arriving in Pingcheng, Xie Yuan returned to the camp outside the city and led the central camp to control the outer city. You took the guard camp to control the inner city and protect the queen and prince. Summon the ministers of civil and military affairs, and let me read the imperial decree. Do you have any objections?"

Dugujian looked into Shen Liuzhen's eyes, examined them for a while, and then said:
"I have no objection!"

Shen Liuzhen nodded and said:

"Very good. So, whether His Majesty's will can be carried out smoothly is in the hands of General Dugu alone. As long as you can protect the Queen and the Crown Prince, there will be no problem.

If you don't want to, you can kill them and kill me as well.Anyway, I don't have many days to live.Death sooner or later is death. "
