concubine on top

The little emperor rambled on, telling Shen Yanchuan all the news he had received in the past few days.

After finishing speaking, he was wronged and apologized, blushing and rolled himself into a ball: "I am useless, I can't even avenge you..."

"Don't worry." Shen Yanchuan rubbed his hair, and said slowly, "The eunuch assassinated neatly, and even performed a special performance before committing suicide. Compared with the killer, it is probably more accurate to say that he is a dead man. And this chess piece is very good. Entering the palace much earlier than me, his function may not be as simple as just waiting for an opportunity."

"Meaning, he may have done a lot of things secretly that we don't know?"

Shen Yanchuan blinked: "It also shows that the people behind it are not simple. The reason why they can't find anything may not be because they are incompetent, but because he gave the eunuch's previous whereabouts and the traces of information passed between them to him one step ahead of time. Erase it." The little emperor was dumbfounded when he heard it, and was out of breath from crying: "Then...then...there is...no... solution?"

"There is no way at the moment, but..." Shen Yanchuan changed his breath with difficulty, "If you just close the case in a low-key manner, the mastermind behind the scenes might relax their vigilance."

"And then wait for him to make a comeback?" The little emperor shook his head, his eyes hurt from crying, "I don't want to bet on you..."

Shen Yanchuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said calmly: "When your ability is not good, you can only gamble."

"But……"

"No but." Shen Yanchuan took out the handkerchief that was kept by the bed during the day, threw it on the little emperor's face, and said with a firm tone, "Wipe it yourself, you are an emperor, you can't cry all the time."

From under the veil came the little emperor's chirping voice: "I can't stop... woo... I've been holding it in for a long time... Anyway, I can't get my eyes back... If you want to punish, punish..."

The little emperor burst into tears, and lay flat on the bed, looking like a broken pot.

"...Aren't you bullying my concubine and being unable to move?"

"Woo... then I owe you... get well soon and beat me up..."

Shen Yanchuan stared at the two big groups of tears stained on the handkerchief, and his tone softened again, "Cry again, and your eyes will be swollen again tomorrow, and they will treat you as a fool even more."

"There's eggs in it, what are you afraid of..."

The little emperor quibbled in a low voice, but followed Shen Yanchuan's movements, and wiped his face clean little by little.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being regarded as a fool by others, anyway, it wasn't the first time a big girl got on the sedan chair; he was unwilling to show weakness to the mastermind hiding in the crowd, and let the other party have the slightest chance of succeeding.

After throwing away the handkerchief, he leaned over guiltily, and pressed his forehead against Shen Yanchuan's: "Did I quarrel with you just now?"

"En." Shen Yanchuan closed his eyes, and held his hand under the quilt, "The noise is unbearable."

"Okay, I'll stop talking and go to sleep." The little emperor shrank back under the quilt, put his still cool hands on his hot face to cover it, and then pulled him towards himself.

"Why?" Shen Yanchuan opened his eyes to look at him puzzled, "You treat me like a quilt?"

"I'm afraid of touching the wound on your back." The little emperor touched his waist and frowned in pain, "The wound is so long, and I don't know when it will heal."

"It's not as long as a little finger... I can't touch it." Shen Yanchuan resumed the original side-lying position, and gently hugged him, "Go to sleep."

Perhaps because of the effect of the date soup, his body changed from cold to warm. The little emperor hugged him comfortably, smelling the sweet fragrance of dates on the side of his neck, and soon fell asleep.

After sleeping until dawn, the candle had already been burned out, and bright light came in from the window, illuminating Shen Yanchuan's pale face.

Seeing that he was so haggard, the little emperor quickly touched the body of the person in his arms, felt that he was warming up, and felt relieved, got out of bed lightly, carried his clothes to the side hall to wash up.

Instructing the palace servants to make arrangements for Shen Yanchuan's daily life, the little emperor rubbed his eyes for a long time, and didn't even care about eating his breakfast, so he stuffed a few mouthfuls and went to court.

Because of the assassination a few days ago, the guards surrounded the sedan chair into an iron bucket.The little emperor glanced at it, and couldn't help but feel heavy again, and the farther he was from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the more obvious this feeling was.

When he sat on the dragon chair, his expression gradually changed from sad to gloomy.

The ministers below are discussing the flood problem in Fujizhou.

One person's opinion is that the construction of the canal will not only solve the flood problem in Fujizhou, but also facilitate the communication between the north and the south, which is the measure of future generations of Fukuzawa.

The other party said that it cannot be repaired. The project of building the canal is too big, and too many people will be recruited.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and they quarreled furiously.And the little emperor sat on a high place, his eyes flicked across the faces, matching the latest secret report submitted by Hu Qian this morning.

"Enough." The little emperor interrupted their boring conversation, "Prime Minister Yu, what do you think of this matter?"

Prime Minister Yu cupped his hands and said: "The Ministry of Water is in charge of water conservancy, and after investigations, it has come to the conclusion that it needs to be built, so the canal must be built. Consider postponing construction."

The little emperor had expected that he would practice Tai Chi, so he simply used this as a springboard: "This is a compromise, what do you two think?"

No matter how much the two parties quarreled, there was no result, so no one objected to this compromise at the moment, but they were thinking about the word "delay" in their hearts-how long would it be appropriate?

"If you don't speak, I will take you as acquiescing." The little emperor looked at the faces that were suffocating and preparing to speak, and said first, "The contradictions you are arguing about are all on the people. The suggestion is nothing more than wanting the common people to live and work in peace and contentment, is that correct?"

Immediately below, there was a voice of worrying about the country and the people.

Everyone bowed to show their loyalty, and no one saw that the little emperor's hands on his knees had already clenched into fists.

"It's just that there are people who are different from you. As the head of a state, you can actually let disaster relief money be corrupted and stolen in the place where you work." The little emperor called the name of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, "I heard that this person is your protégé? This kind of person, you are guilty."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was scared out of his wits immediately, not only did not show a blank expression, he did not even say a word of intercession to the other party, so he began to disassociate himself, trying to describe himself as an innocent person who was blinded by villains.

The little emperor watched him kneel down and act indifferently - such a touching master-student relationship, they flew away separately in the face of disaster.

Although the investigation by the secret guards is still ongoing, it is certain that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the prefect of Tengzhou knew about the "disappearance" of part of the relief money.

Another person who was "hindered" by Shen Yanchuan.Who knows if he is behind the scenes?

Thinking of this, the little emperor's anger smoldered again, and he stared at the person in front of him with resentment: "Although Aiqing is at fault, I still believe in you."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials heard the voice wrong, and immediately bowed down and said: "The ministers are loyal and have no two hearts!"

"Well, I saw this just now when you fought hard to prevent wasting people and money, so I decided to fulfill your intention—" the little emperor adjusted his facial expression belatedly, and announced loudly , "Temporarily appoint you as the head of the management of the flood in Tengzhou, and lead the whole family of men over 14 years old to the Tenghe River to control the disaster, and then participate in the construction of the canal together with the civilian husband."
