Chapter 164 Resignation
Late at night, Emperor Wen sat in his palace without rest.
In his hand, he still held the letter Yun Zheng left for him.
Although he was already familiar with the content of this letter, he still read it over and over again.
To be honest, Yun Zheng's handwriting is not very good-looking.
It can even be said to be ugly!
You can tell at a glance that he wrote the letter with a quill pen.
Although it's barely neat, it doesn't have any charm at all.
But this did not affect the weight of this letter in his heart.
Reading this letter and thinking of the scene of Lao Liu carrying the coffin and rushing to Shuobei, Emperor Wen's eyes began to become moist again.
After all, I still owe this child!
Although he had almost forgotten this child before, he did not resent himself.
When he was in trouble, he still stood up.
His feat today has greatly inspired the people and military morale of Daqian.
In the past, if there was a war, young men and women would inevitably be forced into the army.
However, Lao Liu's feat today caused the recruitment offices in the imperial city to be overcrowded.
This kid, everyone left, also helped them solve the problem of recruiting soldiers.
Although he repeatedly asked Lao Liu to come back alive, he knew in his heart that the chance of Lao Liu surviving was very small.
There are some things he doesn't want to do, but he has to do them.
I'm afraid I'll be in debt forever if I owe Lao Liu!
I hope if something happens to this child, don’t blame yourself for being cruel!
"Your Majesty, something big has happened!"
Mu Shun's panicked voice sounded outside.
Emperor Wen frowned and immediately asked someone to open the door and let Mu Shun in.
"What's the panic?"
Emperor Wen frowned and asked Mu Shun.
Mu Shun sweated on his forehead and reported carefully: "The City Patrol Department sent someone to report that a fire broke out in the Jingbei Prince's Mansion, and the entire mansion was already a sea of flames..."
"what?"
Emperor Wen suddenly stood up and asked with a frosty face: "Who did it?"
"I don't know, old slave."
Mu Shun shook his head repeatedly, "The people from the City Patrol Department said that maybe... it was an accident..."
After talking about it, Mu Shun's voice gradually became smaller.
Accident?
Don't say that the Holy One doesn't believe it, even he doesn't believe it!
His Highness Sixth Prince had just rushed to Shuobei today when a fire suddenly broke out in his house. If this was an accident, it would be too much of a coincidence, right?
"Accident? What a surprise!"
Emperor Wen's face was livid, his eyes were red, and he roared: "Lao Liu has carried the coffin and rushed to Shuobei, and they didn't even spare Lao Liu's mansion! What on earth do they want to do?"
At this moment, Emperor Wen was like a furious lion, and even Mu Shun, who had followed him for many years, was frightened.
Emperor Wen was so angry that he wanted to find the person who set the fire and cut his body into pieces.
After trying hard to suppress his anger, Emperor Wen ordered Mu Shun again: "Let the city patrol department put out the fire with all its strength! How much can be saved!"
"Yes!"
Mu Shun felt relieved and hurried out.
Emperor Wen sat down panting, his eyes flashing with coldness.
Who set people on fire?
The third child?
Could it be that the third child was taking revenge on the sixth child for what happened during the day?
However, Emperor Wen quickly denied his speculation.
It shouldn’t be the third child!
He is still banned in the East Palace. No matter how stupid he is, he will not do such stupid things at this time, right?
If it's not the third child, it's probably the other princes!
Perhaps, in their view, this is a good opportunity to frame Lao San!
Although the crown prince's position has been determined, those princes have obviously not completely given up on competing for the throne!
Rebel!
A group of rebels!
There is no one who can make me worry!
Inexplicably, Emperor Wen thought of Yun Zheng again.
Apart from going to Shuobei, Lao Liu is a worry-free trip.
He knew that he had no chance of becoming the prince, so he never fought for it.
If only these bastards were like Lao Liu to save themselves from worry!
At the same time, Yun Li in the East Palace also received news of the fire in Yunzheng's house.
Although he was confined to the East Palace, someone would definitely tip him off.
After learning the news, Yun Li started yelling in the East Palace.
Framed!
This is clearly a frame-up!
It's Lao Er and his gang who are setting him up!
Father's words today gave them hope again.
They just want to use this method to frame themselves and make their father dethrone themselves from the throne!
asshole!
These bastards!
None of them are good!
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I want to pull myself down from the position of prince!
Wait!
When you ascend the throne, none of you will have an easy time!
And that insidious thing from Lao Liu!
I will never let him go!
He cheated me of so much money and even caused me to be banned from the East Palace. I will definitely settle this account with him clearly!
……
At the court meeting the next day, Emperor Wen scolded several princes and ministers.
Facing Emperor Wen's anger, the second prince and others repeatedly cried out for injustice and swore that they were not responsible for setting the fire.
However, Emperor Wen didn't believe it at all.
Emperor Wen didn't know who sent people to do this, so he could only scold them one by one.
Several people were scolded so badly that they did not dare to say a word.
Just when Emperor Wen was furious, the palace guards came to report that Mrs. Shen was holding the souls of Shen Nanzheng and his son outside the palace and asking for an audience.
Emperor Wen frowned and immediately announced his withdrawal from the court and summoned Mrs. Shen in the Imperial Garden.
"Mrs. Shen, what do you mean?"
Emperor Wen frowned and looked at Mrs. Shen who was holding the memorial tablets of Shen Nanzheng and his son.
"This concubine is here to ask for your resignation from the Lord!"
Mrs. Shen put down the coffin and kowtowed: "My husband and son died in Shuobei. Now, my little daughter has also gone to Shuobei! I have no worries anymore. I just want to take my young granddaughter to find a clean place to spend the rest of my life." , ask for the Holy Spirit’s blessing!”
When Emperor Wen heard this, he immediately fell silent.
After a long time, Emperor Wen sighed quietly: "Are you blaming me?"
"I don't dare, this bitch."
Mrs. Shen lowered her head and said with red eyes: "Except for the little girl Luoyan who went to Shuobei, there is only one little girl left in the Shen family, Nianci! I beg you, the Holy One, to thank the three of them for their meager contribution." For the sake of protecting the Shen family, I will save a bit of flesh and blood for the Shen family, so that my humble concubine will not have the face to face the Shen family’s ancestors..."
Emperor Wen's face changed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Shen means that someone wants to harm you, right?"
"No."
Mrs. Shen shook her head.
no?
Emperor Wen sighed silently in his heart.
Last night, Lao Liu's mansion was set on fire.
Today, Mrs. Shen came to resign.
It was obvious that Mrs. Shen was afraid that if someone failed to deal with Lao Liu, they would turn against the Shen family.
She is afraid!
I'm afraid that even the little girl from the Shen family will be harmed!
After a long time, Emperor Wen slowly stood up and turned around silently: "Where do you plan to go, madam?"
"Bitch concubine..."
Mrs. Shen hesitated and seemed unwilling to say anything.
Emperor Wen seemed to have guessed Madam Shen's thoughts, and sighed quietly: "Madam, don't worry, only I know where Madam is going! In this way, one day Lao Liu and Luo Yan will return in triumph, and they should know where to find Madam."
When he said this, Emperor Wen himself didn't believe it.
The chance of Lao Liu and Shen Luoyan surviving was very small.
The greatest possibility is that they will have died in Shuobei before spring begins tomorrow!
Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment and then said: "I have a distant relative in Le'an County, Juzhou."
"Okay, I get it!"
Emperor Wen turned his back to Mrs. Shen and waved gently, "Madam, please go back first. Later, I will send someone to deliver some things to the house, but I won't go to see you off!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Mrs. Shen thanked her, slowly picked up the memorial tablets of her husband and son, and left silently.
Emperor Wen just stood there, refusing to turn around for a long time, and kept sighing.
After all, I still feel sorry for the Shen family and Lao Liu...
