Chapter 390: Seeking Death
Want to die?
Shen Yanshu laughed at himself, and sure enough, Bi, who had been with him day and night for many years, saw at a glance his purpose in coming to Shi'anhe.
Now, he has no other choice.
"I have a low status. Although my death is not enough to apologize, my parents are no longer here. Apart from this life, I don't know how to atone for my sins." Shen Yanshu closed his eyes gently, "If death does not satisfy my hatred, I am willing to do anything. After such torture, he died from this world, his car was torn apart, his waist was chopped, his skin was peeled and his muscles were cramped, and none of the ministers complained. "
Yan Li said nothing.
Both parents are gone... 놆Ah, Shen Yanshu, who was born in a general family, lost his parents early when his parents died in the battlefield when he was young.
In order to preserve a bloodline for the Shen family, the late emperor asked him to give up martial arts and serve as the eldest princess's companion. Although he did not lead troops or fight, the teaching he received after entering the palace was not slack at all.
Among the several companions before the empress ascended the throne, which one doesn’t have both martial arts and martial arts?
Shen Yanshu became an official at the age of seventeen. He was extremely talented, good at dancing, sincere in dealing with others, and meticulous in his actions. He investigated cases, suppressed rebellions, and escorted people... He made extraordinary achievements in just three years, and became the prime minister along the way. 껣bit.
Although Xuanyuan Xi and his subordinates were partial to this, it was also because Shen Yanshu was really capable, and after he ascended the throne, Xuanyuan Xi and his subordinates made great efforts to use young ministers in the court, which is why he was promoted so quickly.
She always thought that they would have the best relationship between monarch and minister.
The ministers are loyal and the king trusts them.
But the bottom is...
Yan Li came back from her memories and looked at the man in front of her who had once made her trust and treat her like a family member. She suppressed the sting of betrayal in her heart and her voice was so calm that it was almost ruthless: "Since you are already holding the wish to die. Attitude, you shouldn’t mind letting me know the truth.”
Shen Yanshu remained silent, as if he had made up his mind to bear the responsibility alone.
The corner of Yan Li's mouth was slightly raised, but the smile was filled with a biting chill: "Since you don't want to say anything, why do you come here? There are many ways to seek death in the world. It would be easier to find a place where no one is around and do it by yourself. "
Shen Yanshu lowered his eyes: "I betrayed your Majesty's trust and should apologize."
"If you think I'm a fool, it's okay not to accept the punishment." Yan Li looked a little bored and said, "Get out."
Shen Yanshu knelt and did not move.
"Even if you don't tell me some things, I can still check them myself. Do you think I can't check them?" Yan Li said in a cold voice, "Get out!"
Shen Yanshu's face turned pale, and his lips tightened. After a long time, he slowly leaned down and kowtowed: "The sinful minister has a bad luck and a low life, and I betrayed Your Majesty's trust. If there is an afterlife, I will be like a cow or a horse to repay Your Majesty's kindness."
One word seemed to use up all his strength.
Shen Yanshu stood up, turned stiffly and left.
His figure was lonely, his steps were sluggish, and his whole body was enveloped by a layer of dead silence.
Yan Li frowned and looked at him. When he was far away, he said calmly: "꽭Shu, follow me."
"놆." A figure rushed out like a gust of wind.
The curtain of the cubicle was opened, and Mu Cang walked out, with a thoughtful look on his face: "He came here today to seek death?"
"To be precise, it's a farewell." Yan Li raised his hand to his forehead and said in a gloomy tone, "Whether I kill him or he seeks his own death, he probably has no intention of leaving alive. He came to see me just to make an explanation. ”
Mu Cang walked over and looked at her steadily: "What do you think?"
"He is not a greedy person, so it is impossible for him to do it for career or other benefits." Yan Li frowned, with confusion on his eyebrows, "How did Prince Xiao convince him to betray me? I was able to serve him for only three years. If he is allowed to take the position of prime minister within a short period of time, can Prince Xiao make a heavier promise than this? "
A subtle color appeared on Mu Cang's face.
Yan Li said coldly: "His mouth is as tight as a clam shell. Prince Xiao has abandoned him. I really don't know what shameful secrets he is still keeping."
Mu Cang looked at her with such a look that Yan Li couldn't help but be slightly startled: "What's wrong?"
"...Have you never thought that the reason why he works for others wholeheartedly may not be beneficial at all?"
"Of course there will be no benefit." Yan Li smiled faintly, "Didn't I just say that? I have already given him what Prince Xiao can promise to him. To sit on the position of prime minister at such an age and look at the nine countries, I’m afraid there are only a few examples that can be counted.”
Mu Cang moved his lips, but did not say anything.
"But besides profit, what else can make him like this..." Yan Li raised her eyes and looked at Mu Cang's hesitant expression. Suddenly a light flashed in her mind. Her eyes opened and she looked at Mu Cang in disbelief. :"he……"
"Indeed." Mu Cang nodded.
Yan Li looked surprised, unable to accept such a fact.
Shen Yanshu asked him...how could he...
"Shen Yanshu has been King Xiao's person since he was a child." Mu Cang told an even more astonishing fact, "So it's not that he betrayed you, but that from beginning to end, the people he obeyed were King Xiao."
Yan Li had a complicated expression: "When did you know?"
Mu Cang was silent for a moment: "After you appeared in Mu Country, I sent someone to investigate."
Yan Li's eyebrows deepened slightly and she remained silent.
"I originally thought that Shen Yanshu would tell you personally about this matter, then admit the result of his failure, and give you an explanation in person." Mu Cang looked strange, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"For the sake of our friendship, I won't kill him." Yan Li thought of Shen Yanshu's desperate and dead look, frowning, "But whether I kill him or not doesn't matter, he probably has no way to survive."
After saying this, she suddenly said, "Is King Xiao not good to him?"
Mu Cang shook his head, "No matter from which aspect, no matter what identity, he is not living well."
Yan Li hummed and said nothing more.
Her usual rational and decisive style of action was inevitably affected by her mood at this moment, and she hesitated for a while. m.
Shen Yanshu's parents died on the battlefield, and they died for the Southern Kingdom.
Shen Yanshu is the last bloodline of the Shen family.
"Don't think too much." Mu Cang rubbed her head, "I can understand your feelings. Although he betrayed you first, you have been companions and have been kings and ministers for so many years. Seeing him like this, it is inevitable that you feel uncomfortable."
If it is really for the sake of interests or other purposes, it may not be so difficult.
However, Shen Yanshu is obviously forced to do so, and today he is so low-key to plead guilty and come with the attitude of dying. For such a thing, what does it matter if he kills him personally?
There is no meaning.
For Shen Yanshu, living may be more uncomfortable than dying.
"Even if he wants to protect King Xiao before his death, King Xiao cannot stay out of this matter." Yan Li walked to the window and stood, his eyebrows and eyes were a little cold, "I won't interfere in their affairs, but all King Xiao's plans will not succeed, and he will never have any chance to realize his ambitions."
Mu Cang nodded slowly: "He has failed, otherwise Shen Yanshu would not have given up and died so early."
Even the underground secret passages fell into the hands of others, and King Xiao's other forces were also weakened or controlled, either by Mu Cang, or by the priests, or by the Phoenix King and the Feather King of the Southern Kingdom.
King Xiao probably didn't expect that he would have so many opponents at first. He planned for so many years, exhausted the efforts of his mother and two generations of him, but ended in a miserable defeat.
Although I don't know how King Xiao feels now, Shen Yanshu obviously has predicted his ending.
He realized that he had failed and there was no room for maneuver, so he took the initiative to take all the blame and tried to protect the person behind him for the last time... I don't know if this behavior is considered foolish loyalty or stupidity.
