Chapter 268
"Your Majesty, something has happened." In Concubine Xian's bedroom, the chief eunuch Wang Lianyi knocked on the door and called softly.
After getting a response, he walked in immediately.

Standing still behind the screen in the inner room, pursing his lips, he lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has sent a message that His Royal Highness Seven is gone."

Emperor Jianning who was on the couch hadn't slept yet, so he sat up immediately.

Concubine Xian frowned, and hurriedly got down to wait for him to put on his shoes and robe.

"Okay, why did someone have an accident, what do the people in the Ministry of Punishment do for food?!"

Although the Seventh Prince committed the crime of treason, Emperor Jianning never thought that his youngest son would suddenly disappear.

In fact, these days he has not said how to deal with the seventh prince, but he is not sure what to do.

Unexpectedly, people suddenly disappeared.

Wang Lianyi hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty calmed down, the people in the Ministry of Punishment said that he died suddenly."

"Sudden death?" Emperor Jianning's face was gloomy, "He was always in good health, how could it be so?"

When the Seventh Prince was fighting with him, the Xu family from the queen's line supported him behind his back. He didn't believe that the Prince Chen could be clean and untainted.

King Jin, who stayed here overnight, also remained silent for a long time after hearing the news of the Seventh Prince's sudden death.

King Jin immediately held her hand, his eyes softened.

"I know what he did wrong. People always have to be responsible for their own mistakes. This has been the case in this life. I hope it won't happen again in the next life."

Don't worry, wait until his injuries are all healed, and then take his time.

"Knowing." King Jin called out in a low voice, and sighed, "Now, I'm afraid you are the only one who is sincerely treating me well."

In the end, it was Su Junning who spoke first.

Especially after King Jin knew about Su Zhiyi's miscarriage, he felt estranged from the concubine Li Lingxi, and Li Lingxi was not as enthusiastic about him as before because King Jin was no longer destined for the throne. , King Jin almost always lives here with Su Zhiyi.

After a long silence, he took a long breath.

Today's King Jin is no longer in the high spirits of the past, and her biological mother should also restrain herself and keep a low profile.

The next day, after dawn, the news of the Seventh Prince's sudden death in prison was spread throughout Bianjing City.

In the private room of the restaurant, Shen Qianwei and Su Junning sat opposite each other, both of them looked silent.

At that time, in Prince Jin's mansion, in Su Zhiyi's courtyard.

"It's a good thing that the emperor values ​​you. Now that you are a decent general with a title, you should pay more attention to yourself. You are not wearing proper clothes."

"Things are impermanent, I only hope that he will be reborn in an ordinary family in the next life, without trouble or disturbance, and be safe and smooth."

From Concubine Xian's point of view, if the Seventh Prince hadn't insisted on competing with King Jin and ended up hurting both sides, King Chen's son would not have taken advantage of it.

These words made Jin Wang feel a lot of irony, he smiled, and led the people back to the inner room.

Concubine Xian listened silently and did not speak.

"Isn't it because of you?" The atmosphere relaxed, and Shen Qianwei also smiled and took Su Junning's hand and kissed her, "I really don't know how to take care of these things, just read a few more books and it will be great, you You have to marry me quickly so that you can take care of my inner house."

He knew that half of this was because the emperor was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to continue to criticize too much after people died, and half of it was because many people had died during this period, so it couldn't go on like this.

Su Junning naturally understood what he meant, and slightly raised the corners of her lips, and nodded.

The brothers died first, and then the sons, even if their deaths were punishments that should be included in Beidi's law, but now governing the country pays more attention to the words of benevolence and filial piety, and Emperor Jianning has to care about his own reputation.

Sudden death, this statement is very vague, but no one can ask what is going on.

Su Junning could understand his loneliness.

After losing the right to inherit the throne, no one cares that he, a prince, spoils his concubine and kills his wife.

"Yes, His Majesty the Seventh Prince heard the news that your majesty appointed the grandson of the emperor, so" Wang Lianyi hesitated to speak, and did not dare to continue.

After all, there is friendship. Although later, because of the different ideas and positions of the two, there were differences and contradictions, and even more, so that they decided to cut off contact. It's a bit of a sigh, let alone a former friend.

When it will not affect the real interests of the government, the king cares about his reputation.

There are accidents, but more of them are the depression and irritability that the big enemy failed to personally avenge.

Poured Shen Qianwei a cup of tea with his own hands, and said softly.

But Emperor Jianning understood what was going on.

His official position is the fourth rank, which is not high enough. Although as Shen He's son, he can go, but the extra name of Emperor Jianning is a special value, and it also recognizes his identity independent of Shen He.

"Forget it, according to my will, I will be buried according to the emperor's etiquette, but not in the imperial tomb."

"My lord has something on my mind, I don't know how to share my worries for my lord, so I can only stay with my lord quietly."

For example, King Yu, although he conspired to rebel, he was indeed a great hero who put down the Yanhu Rebellion, recovered the lost land in Linzhou, and was the brother of Emperor Jianning.

Wang Lianyi immediately kowtowed in response.

Apart from anything else, Su Zhiyi really has a sincere heart for King Jin, so he also enjoys this kind of world between the two.

Everyone is dead, no matter how harshly he criticizes, people will think that he is too cruel, and he will lose his benevolent demeanor.

Thinking of King Jin's left eye injury and the scar on his face, Concubine Xian wished to crush the Seventh Prince to ashes.

At this moment, he shyly leaned on King Jin's shoulder.

Then he asked again, "Is Yanhu's envoy arriving in Bianjing soon? There will be a state banquet in the palace then."

"My lord is a concubine's husband, so I naturally hope that everything will be fine for my husband." Su Zhiyi said softly.

But this restraint was due to helplessness, but not voluntary, so I also hated the Seventh Prince in my heart.

Shen Qianwei raised her eyes to look at the person in front of her, let out a breath, and took Su Junning's hand.

"You went to see him yesterday."

Su Junning smiled, and reached out to straighten his collar.

"Your own health is not good. When you get up to do something now, your hands are cold. Go back and lie down."

The Seventh Prince once attacked Su Junning, and Shen Qianwei also remembered this matter. At this time, he said something to tell Su Junning that he was very clear about everything in his heart, and he would not forget everything just because he was gone.

Ever since he was injured and returned to Beijing, Su Zhiyi had taken care of him with all his heart, which made King Jin's heart even warmer.

Or, some people just want to let the outside world know this statement.

In this position, he has suffered such a big loss, and he must not let others easily take it.

"Well, the Ministry of Rituals is almost ready for preparations. By then, officials and family members above the third rank in the court will go, and the emperor will also call for additional names, such as me, and several other generals who have gone to the west." Shen Qianwei responded.

"I went, and I drank." Shen Qianwei nodded, and then his eyes darkened a little, "He left so suddenly, it surprised me."

Although he already knew that the Seventh Prince would die in all likelihood, he never thought that he would die suddenly.

"My lord, be careful of catching a cold." Su Zhiyi said softly, and put a robe on him.

Su Junning raised her eyebrows, "The wedding date is fixed, and you still talk about it with me."

"It's one day earlier." Shen Qianwei grinned.

The two were chatting and laughing, Nan Xu opened the door and poked his head in, his eyes were bright, and he whispered in a treacherous face.

"Miss, this servant has seen Lord Minhou and Miss Wanyin!"
