Liu Qinbing understood the implication of his words - he was afraid that if he delayed for too long, Xie Yuan's life would be lost.

So he sighed helplessly, said no more, flicked the whip in his hand, and made the carriage go faster.

If you arrive early, you can have a good rest and recuperate.

The day before yesterday, Shen Liuzhen used a cruel trick. He knelt outside the city gate all night and was carried in with a pale face and fever.

At that time, Emperor Shi Yuwu Lei was very surprised. In his mind, Shen Liuzhen was the hero who helped him get out of the dilemma of life and death and the trough. He was a comrade in arms and his most trusted partner.

If you have something to say, you can tell it directly. There is absolutely no need to be like other courtiers who have to kneel down and cause such a big fight to cause trouble for themselves.

Ah...even if he had some dispute with Prince Chongsu, it wouldn't be like this?

How big of a deal is this? If you have to risk your life and kneel outside on a winter night, you must be anxious to see him.

Shen Liuzhen ignored Ulei's objections, his eyes were wandering, but he insisted on kneeling and speaking first:

"Your Majesty, did Prince Chongsu say yesterday why he wanted to invite me to the mansion for a gathering?"

Ulei frowned and said, "He didn't... Mr. Yu Lin, whom I sent out, came back to report. He just sneered and said that you have gone back."

Shen Liuzhen raised his hands, and his wide sleeves formed a door. He lowered his head and swayed uncontrollably.

Ulei scolded him: "You are so damn ignorant. If you have anything to say, wait until the imperial doctor has seen it before you say it. Is it possible that I don't want to hear it if you are not sick?!"

"No, you must say it now. If I don't say it, I won't be able to sleep or eat well." Shen Liuzhen blinked weakly and raised his hand higher.

He was originally good-looking. Now his face was pale and shaky, and his appearance was even more pitiful and sympathetic. Ulay urged him irritably:

"Then tell me quickly!"

"Your Majesty, please let all these people go out. I just want to talk to you alone." Shen Liuzhen's voice was very weak.

Because of the emperor's order, the imperial doctors who gathered around him waiting to treat him and the palace maids waiting to help him lie down couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

Ulei was even more irritated, and immediately raised his hand and shouted at those people: "Let's go, let's go! Let's all go! Get out first!"

"Yes." After the palace and eunuchs all retreated, Shen Liuzhen said:

"Yesterday, Prince Chongsu said that he suspected that my fiancée, the girl from the Xie family, was a captain of the enemy country."

Ulei's eyes widened speechlessly and he said: "...That's it? Didn't Hengjia mention this a long time ago? Didn't you say you would wait for her to come?"

Shen Liuzhen's pale face showed guilt, his voice deepened, and he said in a rather heartbreaking tone: "She won't come."

Ulei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, I trust you no matter what, and I won't punish you just because they say a few words."

"No... Your Majesty. I didn't believe what Prince Chongsu said at that time, so I argued with him. Prince Chongsu also thought it was reasonable and let me go back. But after I went back, I couldn't sleep because of my thoughts. You I know the character of Prince Chongsu. Even if it is a rumor, he believes it and almost kills me with a knife..."

"He used the knife?!" Ulei said in surprise, interrupting Shen Liuzhen's words.

"No, the important thing is... I'm afraid that what they said is not groundless... What if? What if my fiancée hides something from me and deceives me... Although I know that Song Guo can win at that time , it’s all because Prince Mu He is so greedy for merit, and it has nothing to do with the leakage of military intelligence. But what if she is really a lieutenant of the Song Dynasty? In any case... I am afraid that I will be charged with liaising with foreign countries. "

After Shen Liuzhen finished speaking, he put his hands on the ground and leaned down to bow, as if he was saying goodbye to life and death.

Ulei looked at Shen Liuzhen and was dumbfounded. He suddenly fell down on the throne behind him and was speechless for a long time.

He had never thought about such a serious matter. It was impossible for him to survive the crime of liaising with foreign countries.

After a while, his deep eyes swayed, and his voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, and he said:

"Don't accuse yourself of such a big crime if there is no evidence."

Shen Liuzhen slowly raised his head, raised his eyes, looked at Ulei, and asked carefully: "What if it is true?"

Ulay frowned, turned his gaze to one side, and said:

"Everything you have done has been told to me, and I also know it. Although the inside story of these things cannot be shared with outsiders..."

He paused, raised his face, seemed to have firmed up his thoughts, looked into the void and said confidently:

"I am the emperor, and you are a hero who works for me. Don't worry, I will definitely keep my loyal ministers."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he looked at Ulei sitting in the seat with a hint of guilt in his eyes, but he was more moved.

He straightened up, his big eyes filled with tears, which made Ulei feel heartbroken.

Ulay twisted his shoulders uncomfortably, seeming to shake off the goosebumps on his body, and comforted him and said:

"Okay, I've said it all, let the imperial doctor take a look at you... It's really uncomfortable for you to look at me with such a fragile look... You look like the concubines in my harem. "

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he quickly raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears in his eyes, sobbed, and his voice returned to a serious scholar's demeanor, loudly saying:

"Your Majesty, I have requested that I serve as an imperial envoy to go to the border of the Southern Song Dynasty to negotiate peace. I will also investigate the affairs of the Xie family girl. I must see with my own eyes whether the captain of the Song Dynasty is actually her."

Ulay asked: "After watching it, what would you do if it was really her?"

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Ulei sighed and said: "Forget it, let's wait until the matter is cleared up before we talk about it. It's not the best. If it is, let's talk about it later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Liuzhen tilted his body and fell down heavily.

He is really sick...

No one can kneel for several hours outdoors in winter and still remain unscathed.

Shen Liuzhen had a fever, and his brain was almost burned out. It was in the palace, with Ulei watching, and the imperial doctors inserting needles and giving medicine that the fever subsided.

When he woke up, Shen Liuzhen was still holding onto Ulei's sleeve tightly. After he reacted, he was so frightened that he quickly let go.

Ulay, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and asked him mockingly:

"Shen Liuzhen, look at your potential. Do you know what you said when you were confused?"

Shen Liuzhen was so frightened that his eyes widened immediately. He looked at his surroundings and found that he was still in the palace, and he was even more frightened.

Why isn't he at home?!!

He didn't even dare to drink in front of others, because he was afraid that when he was drunk, he would talk nonsense and ruin his image of a "good guy" in front of everyone.

Now it’s better, I’m so confused that I’m talking nonsense in front of the emperor?!!!!

"I...I'm confused...what did you say...?" Shen Liuzhen asked anxiously.

While talking, he was about to stand up with his arms, but Ulay pushed him back.
