Chapter 26 Dragon Gold (26)
Shen Qingbai was taken from prison by the eunuch to the emperor's convention hall.
There were only the emperor and Jia Lan standing aside and smiling.
"Shen Qingbai, this time you have made the most contribution to the elimination of the disaster ministers. I can give you one thing."
"Your Majesty, I want to ask Your Majesty to release the servants and innocent people who have not participated in the Shen Mansion."
Hearing this, the emperor seemed to have interest in his tone and continued to say.
"The guilty ones should be killed, and the innocent ones will naturally not kill innocent people. This is not counting, let's change it."
Shen Qingbai thought about it again and said.
"Then please give the Duan family justice and no longer let them be misunderstood by the world."
"The truth will eventually be revealed to the world, why worry so much? Besides, I am a little curious. What is your relationship with that kid from the family? You are still thinking about him now. Do you know that there have been many rumors about you in the people?"
Hearing the emperor's words, he didn't feel a little funny. He was not afraid of death, he was afraid that all his efforts would end up being nothing.
Shen Qingbai's slightly pale lips suddenly pulled up and he chuckled.
"Your Majesty is joking, worried about the facts, but what does my duty as a loyal minister have to do with Duan Liming? Listening to the ears is false and seeing the eyes is true. After all, the rumors are just rumors. How can the people be taken seriously? It was just that when the old man wanted to marry me a few years ago, his personal team passed by the mountain where Duan Liming was.
At that time, I was struggling so hard that it seemed to be seen by those people. Later, I was rescued by the people in the village and brought me back to the village. At that time, Duan Liming didn't know that I was from the Shen family, but he had thought of sending me back to the mountain, but my situation in the Shen Mansion was not satisfactory at that time... Your Majesty also knew, so I didn't want to go back. So Duan Liming was kind and did not ask much, so he kept taking me in, letting me stay in the village and protect me."
"Hmph, it's quite a coincidence. I didn't expect that the Duan family's children were so kind-hearted and had a miserable ending. In the end, they took in someone of unknown origin."
Shen Qingbai remained silent, just smiled and looked at Jiajian's direction, not knowing what he was thinking.
Of course, Duan Liming would not take in someone of unknown origin, but Duan Liming woke up at the beginning and was seriously injured. He would not think of checking the person next to him.
And he would definitely not let Duan Liming discover his identity so early, so he took advantage of the time he was wandering and reached the foot of the mountain.
But he didn't expect Duan Liming to come so quickly. He just handed the letter to the villager who happened to go up the mountain to collect herbs, and Duan Liming chased after him.
At that time, he was also a little panicked. He was afraid that Duan Liming would find something, so he rushed to push the villagers away. But now he thought that his actions were a bit unusual and weird at that time.
But Duan Liming seemed to have gone off the line at that time, and did not notice that, but instead began to get jealous.
Humph, it's cute too.
Shen Qingbai's thoughts went awry, and he couldn't help but recall the little things he got along with that person.
But the emperor brought him back to reality with one sentence
"Now you are thinking about everything, why don't you think about yourself first."
After a long speechless time, Shen Qingbai suddenly made a request.
"Can you ask Your Majesty to allow others to go ahead first?"
The emperor nodded to the side of the eunuchs and palace maids beside him, and Jia Jian on the side of him all went down.
Everyone went out, but when Shen Qingbai was about to look at Jia Jian meaningfully.
"Okay, let's talk about it now."
Only Shen Qingbai and the emperor who was above the throne were left in the palace.
"Your Majesty, my body was poisoned by Prime Minister Chen three months ago. I need to take antidotes every month. Now the poison has been spread all over my body, and the end of the month is approaching, and only Chen Xiang knows where the medicine is hidden..."
"Oh? Then you want me to find medicine for you?"
The emperor's tone was playful.
As expected, no one is not afraid of death.
"It is easy to find medicine, but I am afraid that people will not fulfill God's wishes. Relying on medicine can naturally survive to the end of life, but what's the use? I think that only life is held in my own hands is the true meaning of life. If you rely solely on external things to delay the arrival of death, you will lose the pleasure of being a human being."
"Don't be rude! Do you know what you are talking about?"
The emperor suddenly became furious.
"It's not important that you can tell right from wrong when you die. What's important is that Your Majesty knows what you are doing?! Corrupt officials harm the court! Your Majesty trusts villains! He blindly seeks vague magic medicine and throws countless gold, silver and treasures! All of this is just to satisfy his own selfish desires!"
Shen Qingbai's eyes were filled with anger and stared at the gentleman above.
"You! Do you want to die now? A thief!"
The person above seemed to be angry at Shen Qingbai's words.
Shen Qingbai's eyes were full of sarcasm, and his voice was low and he spoke slowly.
"Rebel? Who is the loyal minister in the emperor's words? Are they those slanderous ministers who actively offer villain's plans? Or those new court officials who endanger the people and the court?"
The emperor calmed down at this time and began to threaten the person who was not afraid of death with the power in his hands.
"Shen Qingbai, you are indeed not afraid of death, but you are not afraid of the innocence of the Duan family you are asking for?"
"Afraid? Why am I afraid of the threat of a villain? Am I afraid that Your Majesty will not kill the Duan soldiers who died in battle to defend their country? Are I afraid that Your Majesty will not kill those loyal ministers who are ministers but end up dead because of advice?"
Shen Qingbai is already weak and has been staying in the dungeon these days, making his skin look paler. At this time, his eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a cold breath.ωωw..net
"Hmph! So what? I am the emperor and my words are just a word. Whoever dares to refute and dares not listen, what I say is what..."
Before the person above finished speaking, Shen Qingbai took action.
He pulled out the weapon he had prepared long ago from his head and rushed towards the person in his position.
He had only the people on the throne in his heart and eyes, so he naturally did not notice what was happening behind him.
The closed door was opened when he had just moved, and people outside rushed in.
When Shen Qingbai was about to stab the emperor with a knife, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from behind, and then he felt a dense stinging pain.
The arrow penetrated his shoulders and stabbed them out, and the blood from the wound was flowing tirelessly.
Shen Qingbait even returned, and quickly let go.
The knife in his hand fell from the air under force, and he took the opportunity to catch the dagger with his left hand. In an instant, he quickly stabbed the dagger into the emperor.
But the arrows behind him seemed to move faster than he did.
Another arrow shot over, hit it accurately, and then shot into his shoulder without mercy.
Before Shen Qingbai could do something, he was subdued by the soldiers rushing in from outside the door and pressed to the ground.
At this time, the hall gate was wide open, and everyone outside the door came in, and there was no Jia Lan in it.
At this time, he also saw clearly the man who was standing outside the door and shooting arrows at him.
And that person was his good brother, the fifth son of the Shen family, the only one who had never committed a crime or was pushed into prison - Chen Yi.
It seems that he can no longer call him Mr. Chen Yi. He has to change his name and should call him.
"Sons meet with the father."
