With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 298
Su Yi did not break his promise.

After the two ministers left, they called Su Junning to his study.

It's just that the answer Su Junning got from him was also consistent with what Nan Xu said, but with more details.

For example, the person in charge of the problem with the salt tax is under the command of King Chen.

For another example, the reason why Shen Qianwei was ambushed was because someone around him betrayed him.

After hearing these news, Su Junning only felt that for a moment, the strings all over her body were tightly stretched, as if they would break and collapse at any moment.

Yesterday she was still embroidering the wedding gown, and joked that she wanted to make a mandarin duck pillow for herself, but today she learned that Shen Qianwei's life and death were uncertain, and she had kept it from her for many days.

The blood color faded from the face little by little, Su Junning only felt that her throat was tight.

Do your best to stabilize your mood and ask difficult questions.

"Isn't there any news about him in the past two days?"

"Not for the time being." Su Yi shook his head, but finally couldn't bear it, and persuaded, "Don't worry too much, he is also a person who saved his life on the battlefield, and he will definitely not have an accident so easily. No one has been found yet. , everything is still undecided.”

Su Junning nodded mumly, as if comforting herself, but also as persuasion.

"Yes, nothing has been decided yet, and he will be fine."

After saying that, he stood up, didn't say goodbye, and left in a daze.

Looking at his daughter's back, Su Yi's eyes were full of distress, he clenched his fists, and finally didn't say any more.

After returning to the Cangyu Pavilion, Su Junning said that she wanted to go to Baiyu Temple today to pray for blessings and offer incense.

Nan Xu couldn't hold her back, so she agreed.

In front of the Buddha statue, Su Junning bowed devoutly, hoping that the gods and Buddhas would really protect Shen Qianwei's life.

Although powerless, it was the only thing she could do now.

After returning home, it was because of heart disease that the wind and cold relapsed, and he had a fever again.

People in the mansion hurriedly went to invite the doctor to come back to have a look, but the hidden jade pavilion was in chaos again.

And at that time outside, Chenwang Mansion.

In the study, Prince Chen was reading the booklets, and he put down his work after hearing the knock on the door, and took a sip of tea.

"Come in."

"See Your Majesty."

A man dressed as an ordinary person appeared in the study and saluted politely.

"Tell me something." Chen Wang glanced at him.

The man cupped his hands, and then said, "This subordinate is staring at the Su residence today, and found that the fourth miss of the Su family went out to worship at the Baiyu Temple. She must be ill, with a sick appearance. Not long after returning to the residence, he invited the doctor again." , I heard that General Shen fell ill again when he suddenly learned that General Shen's life or death is uncertain."

After he finished his report, a dark light flashed in Prince Chen's eyes.

Then he asked again, "Where's the Shen family?"

"Mrs. Shen washed her face with tears and was depressed all day long. General Shen asked for leave and stayed at home to comfort her." The man replied.

After listening, Chen Wang slowly raised his head, tapped his fingers on the table, thoughtfully.

"It seems that this time, Shen Qianwei is really in danger."

Shen Qianwei's errand was arranged by Emperor Jianning before he fell ill. At that time, Prince Chen had no way to stop him, so he had to let him go.

Later, Emperor Jianning fell ill, and Prince Chen immediately sent someone to hinder Shen Qianwei from investigating the case.

Originally, he didn't think about killing Shen Qianwei. After all, a young and promising person like Shen Qianwei is also a pure minister. He can be trusted when the grandson ascends the throne in the future, so he can keep it.

But often the plan can't keep up with the changes, and there is such a big deviation.

Obviously the man who came to report the news knew what King Chen was thinking, so he took the initiative to ask at this time.

"My lord, do we need to send someone to look for it? If we can sell the Shen family a favor at this moment, it will definitely be beneficial."

"No need."

To his surprise, Prince Chen refused without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, in his puzzled eyes, Prince Chen's eyes fell on a memorial in front of him.

"Father's dragon body is ill. The most important thing for this king right now is to take care of the court affairs for father, so that father does not worry about government affairs and cannot recuperate in peace. The rest is not important."

"Without the Shen family, there is still the Yang family. This king's brother-in-law is not much worse than Shen Qianwei."

The subordinate standing in front of him did not refute, his eyes quickly scanned the memorial, and vaguely saw the words Uncle Pingyang.

The next day, after presiding over the morning court, King Chen went to Emperor Jianning's bedroom.

When he came, Emperor Jianning was being served by someone to drink medicine.

"Eunuch Wang, let me come." Prince Chen stepped forward.

He took the candied fruit box from Wang Lianyi and handed it to Emperor Jianning.

He has been broken for many years, but now he can hold it firmly with one hand.

Emperor Jianning didn't speak, he twisted a candied golden date and put it in his mouth, and went first to get rid of the bitter taste in his mouth.

After a short break, he spoke.

"What's going on in the court today?"

"No." Chen Wang said calmly, "I just came to see my father today, and I heard from the imperial doctor that my father's condition has improved slightly, presumably it's because the mother and grandson prayed outside the palace, and it worked. "

When he said this, he watched Emperor Jianning's expression from the corner of his eye, but unfortunately, he didn't capture the information he wanted.

Emperor Jianning's complexion was sallow from the pain, and he was weak when speaking at the moment.

"The empress and Xiao'er are sincere. After all, I am old and my body is not as good as before, but I am tired. You need to take care of it. How is your marriage arrangement?"

"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all ready, so you don't have to worry about it." Prince Chen lowered his eyes.

Looks like a good boy.

Emperor Jianning nodded, his eyes moved, "How is the investigation on the salt tax matter, is there any news?"

"I think everything is going well, General Xiao Shen didn't send a message back to Beijing." Chen Wang said.

Hearing this, Emperor Jianning quickly glanced at Prince Chen, and then coughed violently.

Wang Lianyi hurried forward to hand over hot tea, and patted his back again, with a worried expression on his face.

"The emperor's dragon body is sick, it is really inappropriate to worry about state affairs, everything is up to His Royal Highness, the emperor should take good care of his body first."

Emperor Jianning drank half a cup of tea before he stopped coughing.

He took a long breath and smiled wryly.

"Forget it. After all, I am too old to be useful. You can go."

This was said to King Chen.

Prince Chen nodded immediately, and said a few more words to let Emperor Jianning take good care of his illness, then got up and left.

After he left, Emperor Jianning wanted to lie down and rest, so Wang Lianyi shunned everyone in the dormitory, and he was the only one to wait on him.

"The queen is not here, and I can't go to the court. The king is really busy now, and the previous court has arrested him."

Emperor Jianning looked at the pattern of the golden dragon piercing the clouds on the top of the tent with deep eyes.

Wang Lianyi tucked him in the quilt and said in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness Chen is filial, perhaps he wants to share the worries of the emperor and the empress, and does not want to disturb the emperor with external affairs. Prince Chen is a filial son and a loving father. He usually teaches His Royal Highness by himself."

"That's right, now what I want to hear and what I shouldn't hear is up to him." A trace of coldness flashed across Emperor Jianning's face.

Wang Lianyi lowered his head, and did not dare to answer this time.
