The queen loves me alone

The courtyard door was half open and no one was on duty.

Mu Jin couldn't help being curious, which adult's house in the court is this?It is so dilapidated, there is not even a servant at the door.

Situ Jun opened the door and walked into the yard, and Mu Jin followed.Through the vertical flower gate, there is a very simple square yard.

A young man was squatting by the flower bed in the yard. When he saw two elegantly dressed nobles coming, he stood up nervously and shouted into the room: "Master, Mr. Shen seems to have a visitor."

An old man with a long gray beard grew on his chin and walked out of the main room. When he saw the two of them, he had an unspeakably weird expression for a moment, and he saluted and said, "See you, my lord."

Situ Jun said: "Long time no see, Doctor Lou, Mr. Shen is alright."

Unexpectedly, Doctor Lou looked embarrassed and didn't answer for a while.

Mu Jin wondered, isn't this the simplest greeting, so difficult to answer?

Situ Jun couldn't wait for anyone's answer, so he walked into the house.Mu Jin was confused, but he didn't have time to think too much, so he kept pace with others.

The interior furnishings are simple, and Situ Jun walked around the screen all the way to a bed.

There is a person lying on the bed.She was a wizened, thin old lady.His face was withered, as if there was only a handful of bones left in his whole body, and he looked a little dying.

Mu Jin thought, which department's adult is this, why has she never seen him before?

The old lady was half-supported by the maid on one side, and sat on the head of the bed. The maid brought another bowl of soup and medicine, and Mu Jin smelled a strong smell of ginseng.

Holding the bowl tremblingly with the hand of the maid, the old lady drank the soup slowly, and finally seemed to have some strength.

Looking at Situ Jun, he said, "Lord Situ, long time no see."

Situ Jun frowned, looking strangely silent.He didn't even answer.

Mu Jin thought, everyone looks abnormal today.

Situ Jun said, "Master Shen, I'm here today..."

Master Shen said: "You don't need to say more, Mr. Situ. I know that I don't have much time, and I'm tired after spending so many years. Now that His Majesty is pleased with his talents, I feel quite comforted. Come here and bring the things to Sir Situ. "

Immediately, a servant came over and presented a small wooden box with both hands.

Mu Jin was standing next to him. Situ Jun opened the box, and inside was a bronze official seal.

Shen Da humanely said: "The property can finally be returned to its original owner today, thank Your Majesty for me."

Situ Jun handed the box to Mu Jin, and said casually: "Your Majesty is serious, and His Majesty is also considerate of Your Majesty. Please rest in peace, Mr. Shen, and leave." After speaking, he turned around and was about to go out.Mu Jin also turned around.

The old lady on the bed suddenly stretched out her withered hand and said in midair, "Situ Jun..."

Situ Jun's tall background suddenly stood in front of Mu Jin like a mountain, and Mu Jin almost bumped into someone, so he took a few steps back.She suddenly felt that the mountain-like back was a little rickety.

Shen Daren said: "I know that time is running out, and I have no face to meet His Majesty, even more shameless... even more shameless..." She said here, breathing quickly, as if she was about to pass her breath at any moment Go, "I'm really regretful in my heart, I just want to say something to you before I die..."

"That's enough." Situ Jun turned around suddenly, interrupted him with a strong tone, stared at him and said word by word: "You will never... never have the right to tell me!"

After speaking, he turned around and strode out the door.

Mu Jin held the official seal all the way, but was left far behind by Situ Jun.She walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw that Situ Jun didn't get into the carriage, but walked along the street all the way alone.The coachman stood at the door and looked at Mu Jin at a loss for a while: "Princess..."

Mu Jin said: "Let Master Situ be quiet for a while, you stay away and follow."

The coachman said, "Yes."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sobbing sound from the yard behind Mu Jin.

Looking back, Mu Jin saw a group of crows hovering over the yard, making "humbly" calls.

On the carriage back to the city, both of them were extremely silent.

Mu Jin opened the small wooden box, and turned the official seal over, and at the bottom were the four characters "Shen Jin Yu Yin".

Mu Jin heard a lot of gossip in the Ministry of Rites, among them was Mr. Shen.

I heard that Shen Jinyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, has experienced two generations of queens. He is highly respected. When he was young, he was ruthless and selfless. He solved many strange cases. He was decisive, so His Majesty Zhu Wei respected him.

I don't know what happened a few years ago, but I suddenly fell ill. Mr. Shen has always been in good health, and no one took it seriously.Unexpectedly, he couldn't afford to be ill, and he was carried into the Yuanhe Hall by someone in the Shang Dynasty.His Majesty was sympathetic to the man who was seriously ill, so he avoided the court meeting.

Seeing Shen Jinyu lying on the bed today, looking sickly, Mu Jin really couldn't imagine what the so-called handsome Mr. Shen was like when he was young.

She stroked the copper seal in her hand. It really looked old, and the corners had been worn away.

She looked at Situ Jun for a while, then suddenly said: "Situ Jun, Mr. Shen is old and seriously ill, why didn't you retire early and return home?"

Situ Jun chuckled, and asked back, "How old do you think Mr. Shen is?"

Mu Jin thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Seven to eighty years old?"

Situ Jun glanced at the person and said: "You have been in the harem all year round, and you don't know people from the previous dynasty. She is only 47 years old this year."

Mu Jin was taken aback!What she saw was obviously an old lady. Could it be that the position of the Ministry of Punishment is so difficult?

But the other adults in the Ministry of Punishment seem to be in good shape.

"His Majesty actually allowed her to resign to recover from illness, but Shen Jinyu has been working in the Ministry of Punishment and offended many people in the early years. Once she comes down... she will die earlier than now."

offend?Also includes... Situ Jun?Mu Jin didn't dare to ask this sentence.But along the way, she also saw that Situ Jun obviously had a heart knot with this Shen Jinyu.

Situ Jun, who has always been gentle and refined, rarely gets angry with anyone, but Mr. Shen is just one of them.

The court hall of Dajing Kingdom is really a deep pool of water.

Master Shen's funeral was very simple according to her dying wish.As if silently, such a person disappeared.All the officials in the court were surprisingly unanimous in keeping silent on this matter, even His Majesty did not say much.

It was rare for Situ Jun to ignore this matter.He didn't let Mu Jin take care of it, so he casually dismissed a few officials from the Ministry of Rites and left.

Dajing Kingdom has always valued talents, according to the etiquette system, if an official of the imperial court dies, if he dies in a foreign country, he will send an envoy to express his condolences.If he dies in office, the Ministry of Rites will announce it to the whole country and make a big fuss.

Thinking of her dilapidated courtyard, Mu Jin couldn't help feeling a little sad.Mr. Shen has been poor all his life, he is diligent and frugal, and he can be seen as a good official.It's just that Situ Jun is a good person, and the relationship between a good person and a good person may not be easy.

The author has something to say: Master Situ also has moments of weakness, sadness.jpg
