The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

"Three days ago, I caught a cold and have been recuperating at home. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

Seeing that Shen Qian was neither humble nor arrogant, the emperor realized that he was too anxious.

He waved his hand, signaling the eunuch outside the door to serve tea.

The old eunuch was a shrewd man and immediately knew what the emperor really wanted. As he brought a pot of tea to the emperor, he whispered in his ear, "Three days ago, the Shen family did send a letter to the Imperial Hospital, and my disciple did see the imperial physician return late at night."

The old eunuch's voice was not loud, and only he and the emperor heard it, but Shen Qian was a martial artist, so he could not hide the noise from him.

He snorted in his heart.

Sure enough, the most ruthless emperor's family.

No matter how loyal you are, you will not get a bit of trust and will be easily provoked.

It seems that his decisions all along were correct!

Although he had made up his mind in his heart, Shen Qian did not show any slackness on his face. He still knelt expressionlessly, his slightly pale face, as if he had given a better explanation.

"Since you are seriously ill, I will not stay any longer."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling Shen Qian to leave, but when he reached the door, the emperor asked again: "Shen Qian, what do you think about that old case twelve years ago?"

Shen Qian paused.

The image of my parents and hundreds of tribesmen lying in a pool of blood appeared in my mind countless times.

Those were his closest relatives.

They are the tribesmen who watched him grow up.

The older one was almost a hundred years old, and it was a good opportunity to have a happy funeral, but he was brutally beheaded.

The youngest one is my uncle's little boy, who is just over a hundred days old.

They all died on that stormy night because of the emperor's suspicion and a false accusation.

But he has to hide.

"Your Majesty, if you wish to reopen the case from twelve years ago, I will do my utmost to investigate."

After hearing Shen Qian's words, the emperor suddenly realized that he was still a child twelve years ago.

"Well, you were still young then, how could you have known the whole story?"

Since the incident, he has ordered that no one in the palace should mention it.

Most of those who knew about it were killed, and those who were spared were people who knew their limits. Even the prince didn't know, so how could a child know?

"Forget it. There's no need to investigate the old case again. Prime Minister Su will let me know if he has any news."

Perhaps Prime Minister Su was too cautious and recognized the wrong person.

The hunting scene was so cruel that not even a fly could fly away, let alone the orphans.

Her neck was severed, her legs chopped off, and she was thrown into a mass grave and burned. Could it be that she crawled out of the underworld and gave birth to a child?

Yes, Prime Minister Su must have seen it wrong.

The emperor said nothing more and waved his hand to let Shen Qian leave.

Little did they know that at this moment Shen Qian's hands were ice cold and his face was terrifyingly pale.

"Commander Shen, what's wrong with you?" The old eunuch outside the door noticed that something was wrong with him and came over to show concern.

Shen Qian opened his dry lips, and immediately a bloody smell spread from his mouth. He still looked cold and distant, his tone gloomy, "Maybe the cold hasn't healed yet."

"Then Commander Shen, you must get more rest. The cold snap is coming as the New Year approaches. If you fall ill, there will be no one to share the emperor's worries. Commander Shen, take care."

The old eunuch waved his whisk, bowed with both hands, and respectfully sent Shen Qian away.

The branches were buried in the snow and made a squeaking sound when stepped on.

But Shen Qian couldn't calm down.

Those scenes flashed through my mind again and again.

A sight he would never forget.

"Little Lord?"

The bodyguard came over with a cloak.

Shen Qian let the servant put the robe on his body. The warm current passed through him, but it could not warm his completely cold heart.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Qian was about to tell his servant something when he turned his head and noticed a familiar figure from the side.

"Humph, there really is no time to spare."

Shen Qian snorted and looked at Concubine Su's back, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

Of course, he couldn't hear what Su Ying said, but the eunuch opposite him nodded repeatedly, so he knew without checking that it was related to him.

"Have you dealt with everything that happened three days ago?"

When Shen Qian turned around, his cold words were like the snow in the sky. The guards behind him shuddered and said respectfully, "Don't worry, young master. The imperial hospital's invitation was sent at noon, and Doctor Qian left the Shen residence at 12 o'clock. Everything is true and the Shen residence is not afraid of investigation."

The imperial physician came to see the patient and prescribed a prescription to dispel the cold, with quite a few medicine packets, large and small. The Shen residence had been filled with the smell of medicine for the past few days. As for the identity of the seriously ill person, even the servants in the Shen residence didn't know, so how could the news get out outside?

"Prime Minister Su has become suspicious and has issued orders that no one is allowed to take action during this period. Stay in hiding!"

"But young master..."

"This is an order!"

"Yes!"

The guards were unwilling, but had to obey the order.

They had originally planned to take action at the end of the year, but with the young master's order, no one knew how long they would have to wait.

At Concubine Su's place.

After returning from the emperor, Su Ying wrote a letter personally and asked someone to deliver it to Prime Minister Su.

"Remember, you must hand it over to your father personally, understand?"

The maid who took the letter was a martial artist and also the maid that came with Concubine Su as a dowry. She grew up with her and was the most trustworthy person.

"Yes, Madam, I will bring her here personally."

Concubine Su nodded, then called the eunuch outside the bedroom and said, "From now on, you will pay close attention to Shen Qian's every move. If there is anything wrong, report it immediately."

The young eunuch didn't expect to take on such a big task when he first entered the palace, and was a little scared, "Your Majesty, he is the commander of the imperial guards." A favorite of the emperor.

Concubine Su slapped him and said, "Useless thing, can't you even do such a small thing?"

Since my father guessed that it was Shen Qian, then it is most likely him!

Over the years, their Su family has always been secretly suppressed by the emperor, and Shen Qian is the dog beside the emperor! If my father hadn't been prepared for this incident and put forward a scapegoat, I'm afraid the Su family would have really collapsed.

If the emperor is unkind, don't blame them for being unjust.

It would be impossible to really attack the emperor, but you can start with the people around him.

Shen Qian, the emperor is always open with him and treats him better than any other prince's commander of the imperial guards. If it is really found out that there is something wrong with his identity and he is suspected of plotting to murder the court and endanger the emperor, will the emperor still trust him?

By then, will the emperor still have time to suppress the Su family?

Seven days ago, her father sent someone to tell her that everything was ready and they were just waiting for the New Year.

As long as it succeeds, after the New Year, everyone in the world will be surnamed Su!

But rather...

"I dare not, I will do as you say."

The little servant was afraid of the imperial concubine's majesty and knelt on the ground.

Concubine Su snorted, "So what if he's around the emperor? He's a human, not a monster. How can he eat you? I asked you to keep an eye on him, not to devote yourself to him!"

Thinking that she could help the Su family by capturing Shen Qian, Concubine Su couldn't wait to get some evidence against Shen Qian.

"Remember, no matter what he does, or any unusual behavior, he must report it to me!"
