Shen Ruochen was the most scared since he entered the palace. He was still scared from the bottom of his heart. He kept praying, "All the Bodhisattvas in the hall, if you survive the disaster this time, you will definitely go and thank the Bodhisattva and rebuild your golden body."

Shen Jinze clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger, "I'm going to kill her!"

Xiao Dezi reminded from the side, "Master, the emperor did not directly order the withdrawal of the investigation, and there was no news of anger. I thought that it should be nothing serious. I just want to ask."

Shen Ruochen looked at Xiao Dezi excitedly, "Really?"

"That's what my slave guessed."

"Then let's talk about it carefully when the emperor comes," Shen Ruochen said to Shen Jin, "The emperor is not an unreasonable person, let's make it clear."

"Sister, if it doesn't work, I'll leave this matter to my brother alone. You can protect yourself!" Shen Jin said seriously.

"No, how can that be okay? We haven't done it before, why should we admit it!"

"We can't all be wiped out, right?" Shen Jin pointed to the third elder brother in Shen Ruochen's arms and said, "You still have the third elder brother to take care of. This is the flesh and blood left by the eldest sister. We can't let others bully you. Nothing can happen to you."

"Neither can you! Our whole family can't!" Shen Ruochen emphasized with great fear, fearing that his eldest brother would do something stupid.

While the two were talking, they heard the eunuch shouting from outside the door:

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Emperor Yuande then strode in with two young eunuchs behind him.

Shen Jin and Shen Ruochen both knelt on the ground, "Good luck to you, Your Majesty."

"Why do you perform such a great gift? Get up quickly." Emperor Yuande said with a smile.

But at this moment, looking at Emperor Yuande's smile, Shen Ruochen had a creepy feeling. How could he dare to behave like a spoiled child before? He kowtowed, "Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Majesty, forgive me."

"What's going on? Don't do this in front of my uncle. If you don't know, you think I bully you. Get up quickly." Emperor Yuande personally stepped forward to help Shen Ruochen up and signaled to Shen Jin stand up.

Shen Jin stood up anxiously.

"Today is a family dinner. I think you have been in the palace for so many years and I haven't seen your family a few times. Your brother has just entered the court as an official. This is a good time to get together." Emperor Yuande thought for a while He said, "I'll just eat the pot today, do you think it's okay? Let my uncle have a taste too."

"Yes," Shen Ruochen nodded obediently, not daring to say another word.

Shen Jinze quickly stood up and apologized, "I don't dare to be called the emperor like this. I just want to gain the emperor's favor, so..."

"Oh, you're welcome. Sit down, sit down quickly."

Soon, the pots were placed, and all the corresponding dishes were served.

Emperor Yuande signaled to Shen Jin to be casual and said, "The pots in this palace are very famous. Since the late emperor, they have eaten pots every day since the winter. However, there are few dishes in winter, so it is best to eat them at this time. Look, what? We have all the small vegetables, and I like to eat oatmeal the most."

"It was quite straight before being put into the pot. After being put into the pot, it softened immediately and tasted very good." Emperor Yuan De continued, "Actually, many dishes are soft when they are put into the pot, but only this dish is It's different from others when it's soft. It's not rotten, it's like a stick. It looks like those loyal ministers in the imperial court who would rather break than bend."

After saying this, Shen Jin knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said loudly, "The Emperor clearly knows that I, my minister Shen Jin, are loyal and willing to go through fire and water for the Emperor, no matter what!"

Shen Ruochen also hurriedly slid off the chair and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, and so do I. I have no second thoughts about your Majesty!"

"What's wrong with you two brothers and sisters? Why are you kneeling down when you're so good?" Emperor Yuande put down his chopsticks, "Get up quickly!"

"Your Majesty!" Shen Jin kowtowed, "I already heard about it when I came here. There was a rebellion in our Shen family. I don't know who was instigating it. I said a lot of slanderous words. Please be aware of it, Your Majesty."

"Well, since you heard about it, let me tell you straight away." Emperor Yuan De did not put down his chopsticks this time, but picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them in his bowl. "I actually don't believe some of them. , not only for Concubine Chen, but also for your Shen family, and even if I don’t believe it, sometimes it won’t work, it will only work if the whole world doesn’t believe it.”

Shen Jin looked straight at Emperor Yuande and said very seriously, "Please give me your Majesty's orders! As long as I can wash away the injustice on my body, I am willing to die!"

"If you are dead, don't I lose a loyal person? I will kill the one in your family, but you, regardless of whether you were wronged or not, will probably suffer a lot."

Shen Ruochen was afraid and just asked for mercy, but Shen Jin rushed over without changing his expression, "Please give me your Majesty's orders."

"Don't be nervous, I'm scaring your sister." Emperor Yuande took another mouthful of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, "There has been trouble in Shaanxi these days, and we are in need of a civil servant to take care of it. Are you interested? "

"Shaanxi?"

"Yes, I have already chosen the military commander. I am short of a civil servant. I have thought about it and thought that you are the most suitable and a good opportunity to clear away the suspicion. However, I have to say something ugly in front of you. It is a very difficult place. There are Sometimes we don’t even have water to drink, and there are thieves and enemies on the border, so our lives are in danger.”

Shen Ruochen took a breath and looked at his elder brother in fear.

But Shen Jin did not hesitate, "A man should serve his country. I am grateful for the opportunity given by the emperor. I should try my best to thank my country even if I die!"

"Brother!" Shen Ruochen couldn't help shouting.

Shen Jin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please treat me kindly. My sister is used to being lazy when she is just at home. Sometimes she must not do well, so I would like to ask Your Majesty, Shanghai Han."

"You don't ask me to take back your life, but instead ask for your sister. I appreciate your temperament, which is very good." Emperor Yuande put down his chopsticks this time, "Get up, everyone, get up."

"Your Majesty..." Shen Ruochen wanted to say something, but Shen Jin stopped him with his eyes, and Shen Ruochen swallowed his words.

Emperor Yuande saw this scene and couldn't help but smile, and said to Shen Ruochen, "It seems that my uncle is really good! He can control a disobedient girl like you!"

Shen Ruochen's eyes were full of tears, and he tried hard to control them from falling. His face was full of panic, just like a little rabbit.

Emperor Yuande stood up with a smile, "I've finished eating. You two, please have a good meal. Let's talk after eating. It's a farewell. I still have something to do in the past, so I won't interfere with your brother and sister's conversation here."

"Your Majesty."

I heard Emperor Yuande walking out, saying Shen Ruochen's mantra, "Don't panic, don't panic, there is moonlight when the sun goes down, and there is rising sun when the moon goes down."

"Sister, what does the emperor mean by these words?" Shen Jin said, "It sounds like good words."
