Seeing Madam Shen anxiously trying to enter the imperial study through the round gate, Ouyang En quickly blocked her way and said, "Madam Shen, please tell me, you can't go in. There are many people guarding there."
"What should we do then?" Chen Heng was extremely worried. This was the imperial palace, and Xie Jian hadn't even gotten comfortable in his position as the Minister of the Central Secretariat.
"Don't worry, there are many of Ajian's men in the palace. As long as the emperor doesn't make trouble, nothing will happen." Last time, Ajian stabbed the emperor in the villa, and he thought he was finished. Who knew that everyone inside and outside the palace was Ajian's men. He didn't know that Ajian had become so powerful.
But this is the palace after all, and so many imperial guards only obey the emperor's orders. The most important thing is that the emperor has recovered Wanzhou and his prestige in the army is extremely high. He can also see that because of past grievances, the emperor has a special grudge towards Ajian.
"What if the emperor rebels? I'll have to see."
"Madam Shen, if the emperor says something difficult, it will be useless for you to read it. Besides, this matter was told to me quietly by someone else, and it is obvious that the emperor does not want others to know. Don't worry, go home with Nanny first, and I will send someone to tell you as soon as there is news."
Looking through the round gate, she saw many imperial guards guarding it. Shen Heng thought about it and nodded, thinking that what Ouyang said was true.
After returning home, Shen Heng couldn't eat and kept waiting for news in the living room.
Xia felt it was strange that Ah Heng and the nanny both looked worried. She asked but couldn't get anything out of them, so she couldn't help but feel worried too.
It was not until evening that Ouyang sent a small guard to say that nothing was wrong, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it was late at night and Xie Jian still hadn't returned.
Chen Heng's anxiety started to rise again.
After an unknown amount of time, Ouyang suddenly came over and said that Xie Jian had asked him to bring Shen Heng into the palace.
Chen Heng did not alarm her sister-in-law and the nanny, and also asked the servants not to tell them about this to avoid worrying them.
After getting on the carriage, Ouyang En explained what happened: "Ajian is fine, but the emperor is in trouble. When they were fighting, Ajian accidentally hit the emperor's wound. He fainted for a while and hasn't woken up yet."
"The Emperor is injured?" Shen Heng had never heard Xie Jian mention it.
"It was the sword attack by Ajian that year. The emperor never took medicine properly, so the wound healed slowly. He cut the rotten flesh several times in the middle. Alas, it never healed anyway." Ouyang also had a headache.
Chen Heng was stunned when she heard this. How long had this wound been there? She had seen people being treated harshly, but she had never seen anyone treat it this harshly, and they were treating it so harshly on themselves.
You may say this emperor is incompetent, but he almost recovered Wanzhou, and he was quite tolerant towards Lord Lu and Xie Jian. Of course, the abilities of the two were also there, and it was not something the emperor could easily control. It can be seen from this that the emperor was not incompetent.
You say he is capable, but he is living in the past and cannot wake up. He turns a blind eye to the current situation and does not want to take responsibility at all.
"Then what's the use of me?"
"The wizard said there's only one way to save the emperor, and that requires Madam Shen's help. Besides, I don't know either." Ouyang En also found it strange. Asking the wife of a foreign minister to help the emperor? Were the emperor and Madam Shen very familiar?
Chen Heng wanted to perform a Zhuyou technique. Did the wizard want her to enter the emperor's consciousness and bring him out?
But what's the point of bringing someone like this out?
It will only consume the energy of Ajian and Master Lu.
Is he really the only one who can be the emperor? Wouldn't it be better to cut losses in time?
After getting off the carriage from the palace, Shen Heng took a deep breath: I can’t bear it anymore, I will endure it again.
