Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

I can't tell you what it feels like. It's like having a dream in the middle of the night. There are nightmares in the dream. When you wake up suddenly, you feel sad for a long time and feel hard to recover.But after all, it was just a dream, and it seemed that there was no other way but to feel relieved.

Sitting on it is the king of a country, an emperor who values ​​checks and balances and is good at maneuvering. How can you expect him to have the most ordinary emotions in the world?It's like, can you still ask the monsters and monsters in your dream that disturbed your sleep to come out of the dream and reconcile with you?
Li Yiwei lowered his head to hide the sadness in his eyes. After a while, he raised his head and saluted as expected, "Father, don't worry, I will live up to your father's trust."

The emperor's face softened a little, and finally there was a calm and tolerant smile on his gray face. He nodded, "Your temperament mostly follows your mother's. I am most relieved about this." After saying that, he pinched. He pinched his eyebrows, and the little energy he had been holding on to had been exhausted. The naked eye could see the tired look on his face, which had been aging rapidly during this period.

Li Yiwei went to the palace almost every day to pay his respects, so he naturally knew what condition the emperor's body was in.His eyes flashed slightly, but his face was gentle and obedient, "Father, you need to take care of your dragon body. Doctor Qin said that you need to rest and rest, and you can't think too much."

The emperor pinched his eyebrows and did not respond. After a while, he remembered that Zhang Dexian was not here, so no one had the foresight to shout to retreat.Thinking of Zhang Dexian, I couldn't help but think of Li Yuqi again, and he waved his hands with increasing interest, "If you have nothing to say, please withdraw from the court... The matter of the epidemic will not be decided until the imperial doctors have discussed it." After finishing speaking, , holding on to the armrest and raising his buttocks, he was about to get up.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qian suddenly stepped forward, knelt down beside the imperial guard who had not yet stood up and had been completely forgotten, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have something I want to ask your Majesty to do."

The emperor's brows jumped slightly, and his cloudy eyes stared at the other person for a long time, but the other person was kneeling there and looking up, his eyes were open and his expression was calm and solemn, but there was no trace of his thoughts.He had a kind of tolerance towards Shen Qian that others could not understand. Even Ning Xiuyuan, who had been observing for so many years, was still a little confused about what kind of "friendship" between these two monarchs and ministers was.

The emperor stared at him for a long time. Just when many people started to beat their heads, they heard the emperor slowly say, "Shen Aiqing doesn't need to be polite...get up and talk."

Shen Qian bowed his head and thanked him, but when he stood up, he seemed to stagger. He put one hand on the ground to slow down before he staggered up.

At this moment, he actually looked old.

Ning Xiuyuan, who had been watching from the side, had his eyes slightly condensed. He seemed to have guessed what he wanted... He quietly took a step closer to Shen Qian.

After Shen Qian stood up, he bowed his hands and took a deep breath. Then he looked at the emperor and Lang Lang said, "Your Majesty. Just now, Weichen heard that Mrs. Weichen is also being imprisoned in Dali Temple... Although Weichen is worried about Mrs. Although her safety is in danger, she will not unreasonably ask His Majesty to agree to release the wife at this time. However, just now, the minister also heard from the young man from the Royal Forest Army that His Highness the Crown Prince had previously ordered that the family members should be imprisoned together... I am a member of Xu Siniang's family, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to make the decision to allow me to enter the Dali Temple to accompany Xu Siniang."

Every word is correct and every sentence is correct.

The courtiers were in an uproar.

Someone who was relatively close to him was almost furious, "Shen Qian, are you crazy?! The fact that you can stand here so well now is thanks to your long separation. It would be better for you to just bite the bullet and squeeze in at this time. , how about being a good man?"

There were also people watching the show who sneered at Shen Qian's behavior of pretending to be a good husband at this time, "In these years of doting on concubines and destroying wives, I have never seen him visit Xu Siniang's house. The orphan and widowed mother is still the one who is admired by others. The second girl She's a smart one, so she squeezed into the East Palace by herself. I heard that the big girl... didn't even have a matchmaker. It's interesting to be a real father..." Shen Qian's hand hanging by his side shook suddenly. , but there was not a word of argument, just another salute, "Your Majesty, please grant me your permission."

The emperor's face... His face was already gray, but because of his slumped expression at the moment, it looked like it was filled with clouds and a storm was about to come.The whispers among the ministers gradually became much weaker, and finally turned into eye contact between you and me. Most of them were joking or doubting. They did not believe that Shen Dingtou, who had a reputation for doting on his concubines and destroying his wives, and a man in court. How could a censor who was just hanging around in the court have such courage... such a lonely courage.

Therefore, most people watch the show.

Only the emperor was vaguely aware that his imperial censor had been pretending to be stupid, hiding his clumsiness, and putting layers of shackles on his true heart over the years, giving the world a completely opposite illusion.

Well, it’s really good!He took a deep breath slowly, and the look in Shen Qian's eyes became more and more murderous.

The ministers, who were communicating with each other cheerfully with their eyes, realized that the atmosphere was depressing. They closed their eyes and shrank their necks. Only Li Yiwei stood with a calm expression on his face - that's what happened to Shen Qian when he stood up. He seemed to be aloof from the incident. At this moment, he still had the same posture and expression. He noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere, but he didn't know the reason, and he had no intention of exploring these secrets.

Because I don’t know, I am more open-minded.

The wind stopped, and the crepe in the hall fell heavily, motionless.

At the critical moment, someone spoke up to break the sticky and depressing atmosphere, "What a coincidence. The lower official was entrusted by someone. He was still in trouble after meditating hard and still had no countermeasures. If Mr. Shen went to Dali Temple, the matter would be easily solved. ”

It's Ning Xiuyuan.

It's Ning Xiuyuan again... The emperor frowned, feeling that Ning Xiuyuan was particularly active today and had his affairs everywhere.

Ning Xiuyuan is his confidant. It would not be a good thing if he interacts too closely with other court officials.He was a little unhappy, and his tone was not very good, "If you feel embarrassed when you are entrusted by someone, just refuse it. As an imperial master, could it be that you owe some romantic debts and have to pay them back?" It seems like an ordinary thing. The teasing is just a warning and a test, but it is not subtle. It is almost put on the table clearly.

Ning Xiuyuan just didn't realize it and smiled openly and charmingly, "Your Majesty, you can't make a joke. If my little girl hears it, you will annoy me again... No, when I came out of Ji's house, I met Miss Shen Er said that she saw Xu Siniang didn't come back all night. Since she didn't know the return date and was worried that she would be more exposed in the past two days, she thought about asking Wei Chen to go to Dali Temple to ask about the situation. If she couldn't come back in these two days, she still thought about it. Send some clothes in... I just heard about the epidemic, and I am suffering from a headache."
