Chapter 77 He deserves death, so he has the shamelessness to covet everything Xiao Zhinian gave him
The leading general was stunned: "I greet Lord Lu."
Lord Lu?
Shen Zhejiang searched quickly in his mind, and soon he remembered that the commander of the Imperial Guard seemed to be surnamed Lu.
So, this person is——
Lumo City.
Notoriously tight-lipped.
"What happened?"
The general told him exactly what had happened.
Lu Mocheng glanced at Shen Zhejiang thoughtfully through the snow curtain, his eyes like a blade, as if he felt that this person was a little familiar, but after thinking about it, he denied his idea.
He asked, "Are you from Yanqing Palace? Then tell me, why did His Majesty ask you to leave the palace?"
Fortunately, Shen Zhejiang had thought of the right words in just a few moments. He tightly grasped the dragon-patterned ring and deliberately lowered his voice, but with a bit of arrogance: "The lady in the palace wants the sheep cheese from Qingfeng Tower. If it's too late to buy it, His Majesty will probably blame me. I hope you can let her go."
There is no other concubine in the palace except the one who is about to be named Concubine Shen. I heard that this woman is very favored by His Majesty and is arrogant because of her favor. It should be true that she asks for this and that in the middle of the night.
Besides, the servant in front of him has the token of His Majesty in his hand.
Lumocheng weighed it over and over again, then nodded to the guards and said, "Let them pass."
-
In less than half an hour, Shen Zhejiang arrived at Qingfeng Tower.
This was a restaurant he and Han Zitang often visited when they were classmates. Although he did not like drinking, when he talked about state affairs such as economic strategy, his chest would be filled with lofty ambitions and he would drink a few glasses of wine.
But those times have passed so long ago and can never be returned. All that remains is sadness and ridicule in my heart.
he......
Concubines in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics, and he is afraid that he will never have the opportunity to attend court again in his life.
The night was cold, with snow and wind blowing, and there were not many people in Qingfeng Tower.
The shopkeeper standing in front of the counter was fiddling with the abacus beads out of boredom. She looked up and saw Shen Zhejiang coming. When she saw his face clearly, she was so shocked that she dropped the abacus.
In the eyes of the world, Shen Zhejiang had already died a long time ago. After Xiao Zhinian ascended the throne, he made a great fanfare to posthumously confer a title on Master Shen, and everyone in the world knew about it.
Therefore, it was no wonder that the shopkeeper was stunned, as if he had seen a ghost: "You you you... Lord Shen?!"
Shen Zhejiang sighed and said, "I am no longer serving in the court. I am not Lord Shen. Please guide me."
The shopkeeper secretly pinched himself hard twice, feeling terribly painful. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually real. He quickly waved his hand and asked the waiter to lead Shen Zhejiang to the private room set up by Han Zitang.
The wooden door creaked open and the person inside looked up. In a trance, he saw a tall and handsome young man outside the door. Then he smiled, a rare smile that had not been seen for a long time.
"Coming?"
"You are going to Qingzhou tomorrow, I will see you off."
Shen Zhejiang walked in, and the waiter behind him closed the door for them. The private room was very spacious, and filled with a rich and intoxicating aroma of wine.
There was wine on the table and two wine cups, one was empty and the other was in Han Zitang's hand.
At that time, he had already drunk half a full pot of liquor. He had a good alcohol tolerance. Apart from a slight redness on his face, he was still sober.
"sit."
Shen Zhejiang then walked over and sat down on the wooden bench opposite Han Zitang. He was silent for a moment. When he spoke, he found that his voice was a little dry: "...I'm sorry, I broke my promise."
Han Zitang ignored him and stood up to pour him a glass of wine: "It's been a long time since I drank with you. There's no need to say anything else. Let's get drunk tonight."
"good."
Shen Zhejiang raised his glass and clinked it with Han Zitang's in the air, then drank it all in one gulp. The spicy and stimulating taste immediately filled his throat, as if it was burned by fire.
The friendship of the past is all in the wine.
Han Zitang drank more heavily than Shen Zhejiang, and he drank one glass after another, as if he was scolding himself or punishing himself.
If he could have revealed his feelings to Shen Zhejiang earlier, the person in front of him might have grown old with him and lived together for a hundred years. But it was too late, so late that he had already passed the age where he could have nothing to worry about.
They are no longer young and always consider the consequences of doing things.
He drank in silence for a long time.
Shen Zhejiang was not feeling well. Due to the alcohol, he coughed twice, and his pale face turned slightly red.
Han Zitang was awakened by his cough. He calmly moved the wine jug away and placed it beside him. He slowly said, "What I mentioned to you last time..."
But when the words came to my lips, I hesitated and didn't know how to continue.
Shen Zhejiang said: "If you feel embarrassed, then don't say it."
Han Zitang shook his head: "I must tell you about you and the emperor, but after you listen, remember not to get excited."
"......"
Shen Zhejiang's heart skipped a beat, and a vague sense of uneasiness emerged.
He and Xiao Zhinian?
Could it be that there is something he doesn’t know, about the Shen family or the Xiao family?
"During the years since you left the capital, I accidentally discovered some secrets of the palace when I was sorting out the case files." Han Zitang's eyes gradually shifted from the wine glass in his hand to Shen Zhejiang. After a pause, he opened his lips and said, "You may be related to the emperor by blood."
......What? !
Shen Zhejiang loosened his grip, and the cup slipped through his fingertips and rolled to the ground. It did not break, but broke into two pieces.
How is it possible? He is obviously a descendant of the Shen family, and Xiao Zhinian is of royal blood. They have nothing in common, so how can they be blood relatives?
Impossible.
He tried his best to steady himself: "How do you say it?"
In fact, when Han Zitang first learned about this, he wanted to tell Shen Zhejiang.
But on second thought, Chen Zhejiang was far away at the border and would never return to the capital in this life, and would no longer be involved with Xiao Zhinian, so there was no need to add to his troubles.
But now it’s different.
"Back then, Grand Concubine Jing suffered from a chronic illness and had to retreat to Guanhai Temple. However, her pregnancy was unstable. After seven months of hardship, she gave birth to a son, but unfortunately passed away. That child was you."
"Is it me?"
Shen Zhejiang opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and the alcohol suddenly dissipated in shock. It took him a long time to realize that he had not heard wrongly.
He is the child of Empress Dowager Jing, how could that be?
At that time, Concubine Jing gave birth to a stillborn baby. Because the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that the baby's corpse would affect the fortune of the Yan State, it was buried in the backyard of Guanhai Temple.
He remembered it clearly, and that was how it was recorded in history books.
It has long turned into a pile of yellow earth...His surname is Chen, he can't be from the Xiao family.
Han Zitang continued to speak.
"When Empress Dowager Liang was still the empress, she learned that Concubine Jing had given birth to a prince. She feared that it would be a threat to her, so she sent someone to strangle the former emperor while he was on a secret tour in the south."
"Then, the palace maids around Grand Concubine Jing brought the prince to the Shen Mansion and raised him by the Shen family?" Shen Zhejiang obviously didn't believe him, "Zitang, these are all sad stories played in operas, you can't tell me this, right?"
Han Zitang looked at Shen Zhejiang and said calmly and calmly: “Zhejiang, you should accept it.”
Just like the verdict sticks in the stick box fell to the ground with a snap, the guilty person could not escape punishment.
Shen Zhejiang felt that his breathing had stagnated for a long time.
He is the prince of the Xiao family, and Xiao Zhinian is also the prince of the Xiao family, so what are they?
What on earth did he do with Xiao Zhinian... He actually did that with Xiao Zhinian...
Before the last two words appeared in Shen Zhejiang's mind, his eyes suddenly went dark, followed by a nauseous feeling churning out of his stomach and rushing up.
"vomit......"
Shen Zhejiang suddenly arched his back and vomited violently, vomiting out the wine he had just drunk.
"Zhejiang!" Han Zitang immediately stepped forward to support him, his frowning brows full of nervousness, "I was too reckless, I should have done this earlier, I shouldn't have told you."
However, if you stay in the palace for a long time, you will definitely hear a lot of gossip about this palace secret.
Even if Han Zitang didn't say it, one day Shen Zhejiang would find out from someone else.
He really has no regard for human ethics.
He deserves to die, so shamelessly he would be greedy for everything Xiao Zhinian gave him. These things should not have happened.
Can't go on any further.
“Bang!”
Then, a twisted voice full of rage and madness suddenly sounded at the door.
“What are you doing?!!”
