A few days later, Shen Jue received a secret letter from the prison officer. In the secret letter, he explained in detail how he calculated the age of the owner of the corpse, and wrote a conclusion at the end.
The owner of this skeleton is at least above the age of the crown.
At the palace banquet last year, Shi Zhou was not yet eighteen, so this corpse couldn't be his, it could only be his brother Shi Ji's.
Shen Jue threw the secret letter into the brazier, and when she saw the paper was gradually being swallowed up, she turned her face away. Sure enough, Shizhou didn't die so easily. A few days ago, he also shielded Wen Yurong from danger. This behavior can only be done by Shizhou.
It is not so easy to kill Shizhou now, not to mention that the other party has raised their vigilance, and if they do it rashly, they may get backlash from the master.

But if Shi Zhou is allowed to stay here all the time, he will return to the old path of previous lives. Now it seems that Wen Yurong may still be wandering between him and Shizhou. If Wen Yurong really fell in love with Shizhou, he would not have made out with him in the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago, regardless of Shizhou's injury.
Of course Wen Yurong might have the heart to care, but Shen Jue didn't have the chance with him.
Shen Jue was sure that Shizhou would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he deliberately excused himself to stay overnight, staying late at night and then returning to the palace by order of Tong Menger.
In this situation, he had no idea to really do that kind of thing with Wen Yurong. One was that he didn't want to, and it was always better to avoid this kind of thing, and the other was that his body couldn't stand that kind of thing.
No matter whether he goes to Wen Yurong or Wen Yurong goes to him, the former is powerless and feels disgusting, while the latter may lose half of his life, or he may die directly, which is too risky.
The top priority now is to deal with Shi Zhou as soon as possible.
Shen Jue thought about how to deal with Shi Zhou for several days, and he really found an opportunity.
When a neighboring country of the Great Wei invaded, Tong Menger asked another general in the DPRK to lead his troops there in previous generations. Shen Jue remembered that this battle had been fought for a long time, for two years. If Shizhou led the troops over, it would have been at least a few years.
Lest Shi Zhou and Wen Yurong collude in private.
As soon as Shen Jue thought about it, he went to Tong Meng'er to talk about it. Tong Meng'er was stunned for a moment before she said, "Since darling wants Shi Ji to fight, let Shi Ji go."
"It's not enough for Shi Ji to go alone. Let Shi Haoran lead the troops, Shi Ji will be the lieutenant, and the female family members of the Shifu must stay in the capital." Shen Jue said.
Although Tong Meng'er was a little puzzled, she didn't ask. The decree was issued the next day, and Shi Haoran and Shi Zhou were asked to lead the army the next day without delay.
On the day Shi Zhou left the capital, Wen Yurong was in a state of uncertainty, always staring at the palace wall in a daze. He was on leave today, but Shen Jue's condition suddenly worsened last night, and Tong Menger ordered him to take care of him carefully and not leave.
And although Shen Jue was sick and groggy, he still kept holding Wen Yurong's hand. Once Wen Yurong pulled it out, his hand would stretch into the air, as if trying to grab something.
Seeing this, Wen Yurong could only let Shen Jue hold her hand again.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Shen Jue's spirit got better. He was helped to sit on the bed, leaning on the soft pillow behind him, and looked at Wen Yurong with fixed eyes, "Take care of the lonely day, it's been hard work for you, go and rest. Bar."
"It's okay, your Majesty's health is the most important thing." Wen Yurong smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Shen Jue looked at the person in front of him. After all, Shi Zhou grew up with him. Now that the injury has not healed, he will go to the frontier, which will inevitably worry.
Time flies, two years have passed in a blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Shen Jue and Wen Yurong have become more and more intimate, and even the Prime Minister can see the tricks, because his son has stayed in the palace for too long.
Therefore, the prime minister once approached Wen Yurong in private and questioned his relationship with Shen Jue. Wen Yurong avoided talking.
Seeing that the Prime Minister's expression was wrong, Wen Yurong hesitated, but explained, "Father, I have nothing to do with His Majesty, I just accompany him in the palace."
When the Prime Minister heard the words, his face finally softened. He didn't want to see his most proud son become the bane and the like who charmed the Lord, but from that day onwards, the Prime Minister didn't look at Wen Yurong with a good face, and he immediately sank when he saw it.
Many times, Shen Jue found out.
He looked at Wen Yurong worriedly, "Yu Lang, why don't you go and explain to the Prime Minister alone?"
Wen Yurong shook her head, "My dad already knows, and I said it... It'll be fine when he thinks about it."
A year ago, Shen Jue ordered Wen Yurong not to call himself a minister in front of him, but to use "I" instead.
Hearing this, Shen Jue touched Wen Yurong's face pitifully, "There are many good masculine people among the people, the prime minister doesn't seem to be a pedantic person, probably because of your solitary status, fearing that you are forced by power to stay with the solitary. Together." After a pause, "I'm sorry for you."
"No grievance, I'm very happy." Wen Yurong smiled.
In the past two years, a letter from the frontier will come every month, which will report the battle situation in detail. Judging from the letter, even Shi Haoran fought this battle very hard.
In the letter, Shi Zhou was occasionally mentioned, and of course the name of Shi Ji was written in the letter.
Shen Jue never avoided Wen Yurong when he read those letters, so Wen Yurong could also learn some of Shizhou's current situation from the letters, but not much.
In the past two years, Shen Jue has been trying to deepen his relationship with Wen Yurong, but no matter what, he and Wen Yurong seem to be separated by a layer of veil. It's like a pot of water on the stove. It looks like it's about to open, but it doesn't open all the time, as if it's just too late.
Only then did Shen Jue realize that he might have done something wrong. He thought that by transferring Shizhou away from the capital, Wen Yurong's heart would be more easily captured, but now it seems that although Wen Yurong is by his side, he is still worried about the teacher in the frontier. Boat.
Probably the friendship between Wen Yurong and Shi Zhou is not so easy to be defeated in just a few years.
But Shen Jue ran out of time, because Shi Haoran rebelled, saying that the demon queen was a disaster for the imperial court, and the tyrant was cruel and inhumane. The division's army and the King of Jinling united, ready to support the succession of King Jinling's grandson.
Although Shen Jue kept letting people spy on the general's mansion, the female family members of the teacher's family all fled in the middle of the night, leaving only the teacher and a few old slaves.
Shi Tongru was an old official of the three dynasties, and Shen Jue couldn't move him at all, but what Shen Jue did not expect was that Shi Haoran rebelled less than seven days ago, and Shi Tongru died suddenly. It was also the people of the capital, who were talking about it, suspecting that it was the hand of the palace.
A few days later, Shi Haoran came out with a "Book with the Father". The content was heartbreaking and touching. In it, it not only wrote about his father's lament and his own uselessness, but also revealed the cause of Shi Ji's death. .
Shen Jue was a little surprised by the wide dissemination of this article, but in just two months, the entire Great Wei knew about this "Book with the Father".
Shen Jue and Tong Meng'er were initially unstable, and when this "Book with the Father" came out, it was even more disappointing.
In the eyes of the common people, Shen Jue was the most useless and cruel emperor, while Tong Menger was a demon queen who seduced the late emperor with her beauty. Both of them stole the position of others. Of the sons of the late emperor, which one was better than Shen Jue? Is the sick seedling okay? Can be dead dead, crazy crazy.
The people believed that Shen Jueshi was a disloyal and unfilial person, who could not tolerate brothers above, and could not tolerate loyal ministers below, and should not sit on the throne at all.
At the same time, Shi Haoran and King Jinling's rebels were in a no-man's land, Shen Jue's army retreated steadily, lost city after city, and even surrendered.
But in just five months, Shi Haoran and King Jinling's rebels had already reached the capital, and Shen Jue had no chance of winning.
…
"Queen Mother, hurry up and leave before they enter the city." Shen Jue looked at Tong Meng'er with a calm expression.
Tong Menger's eyes were red and swollen, and when she heard Shen Jue's words, she almost didn't slap Shen Jue, "you let the mother go, what about you?"
"My son can't leave, they won't let him go." Shen Jue knew clearly that the edict of abdication had to be sealed by him in person, and if he escaped, Shi Haoran and the others would definitely be uneasy and would keep chasing after him. Shi Haoran and the others would be relieved only if he died or was imprisoned.
And Tong Menger lost Shen Jue's son, even if he escaped and survived, it would be no danger to Shi Haoran and the others.
No commoner would support a woman with a foreign surname to fight for the throne.
"The queen mother doesn't leave. If you want to die, our mother and two will die here together." Tong Meng'er wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "This position was originally given to you by your father, so why did they chase you down and pass it on to the King of Jinling? grandson."
King Jinling was the cousin of the late emperor, and his grandson would have to call him Uncle Shen Jue in terms of qualifications.
"The queen mother, the world has been lost, and the position of the child minister can't sit still. The queen mother, the child minister's body can last for so long, it is a great luck, thanks to the mother's careful care, but the child minister will not be able to bear it in the future. Huan's knees, the mother queen must Be safe as usual, be sure to cherish it.”
After speaking, Shen Jue knelt on the ground and gave Tong Menger a big gift.
He should do this big gift. If there was no Tong Meng'er, he would have died thousands of times. Although the other party is only a person in the realm, he is truly a good person for him.
When Tong Menger saw this, she was already crying like tears. She refused to leave, but Shen Jue took a firm attitude and chose the most loyal team in the Royal Forest Army to escort Tong Menger from the palace overnight.
In previous lives, Shen Jue failed to protect Tong Menger, but in this life he wanted to at least let Tong Menger not die so miserably, not die after being tortured in every way.
This is the only thing he can give Tong Menger.
After Tong Menger left, there was only one thing in Shen Jue's mind, which was how to break through the situation.
The night before the rebels invaded the capital, Shen Jue and Wen Yurong fell asleep together, but neither of them felt sleepy. Shen Jue's abdication is an irreversible matter. He has no soldiers to fight against the rebels, so he can only admit defeat.
Today, Shen Jue abolished Shen Yongcheng's crown prince and let him go back to the Yongwang Palace.
Shen Yongcheng didn't know whether he regretted his position as the crown prince, or why, but his eyes were red, and he gave Shen Jue a big gift before leaving the palace.
Now all the servants in the palace have started to flee, for fear that the rebels will enter the palace and take their servants out of anger.
At this time, the palace was quiet, and it became less popular.
"Yu Lang, the rebels should come in tomorrow. I don't have much time left, but it's enough for this body to endure for so long. You can go back with the Prime Minister tomorrow." Shen Jue said slowly, her tone indifferent. Sad or not, as if he was just talking about an ordinary thing.
Wen Yurong touched Shen Jue's hand and held it gently, "Your Majesty has a celestial phenomenon, and it will be fine. I want to accompany Your Majesty in the palace."
Shen Jue heard the words and turned to look at Wen Yurong, her eyes gradually deepening, "Yu Lang, in fact, Gu is not greedy for the mortal world, the only one who can't let go is you. Are you willing to accompany Gu?"
This is actually very clear, Shen Jue is asking Wen Yurong if he wants to die with him. If Wen Yurong is willing, this situation can be broken tonight.
But Wen Yurong looked at Shen Jue for a while, and then whispered: "Your Majesty will be fine, Shi... General Shi is not a cruel person, and will not kill Your Majesty, Your Majesty, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood. burn."
Wen Yurong refused.
Shen Jue turned her face away when she heard the words and looked at the candlelight jumping on the table, "Yeah."
Then they were speechless.
The next day was cloudy and Shen Jue got up very early. This was the last time he went to the morning.
There were no palace servants behind him, only Wen Yurong.
He sat on the dragon chair and looked at the silent ministers below, his eyes were calm.
"I have been in power for 18 years, and I have been blessed by my ancestors. Now the general trend has passed, and I am like a trapped beast. It is useless to struggle. In fact, some of you, you can't even remember the face of the lonely, so you don't need to feel sad, After today, follow the Ming Lord, serve well, and continue to be the pillar of your country."
When the words fell, Shen Jue stood up. He looked at the marble outside the hall, straightened his body, and shouted—
"Retreat!"
The ministers knelt on the ground, and after a long time, people left one after another, and the prime minister finally left. He looked at Wen Yurong standing behind Shen Jue, "Yue Ze, are you going with Weifu?"
Wen Yurong smiled gently, "Father, I want to accompany Your Majesty here."
The Prime Minister nodded when he heard the words, "That's fine, then you can accompany Your Majesty." He turned to look at Shen Jue, who was sitting on the dragon chair, "Your Majesty, the old minister has retired."
Shen Jue smiled back, "The prime minister is leaving."
The Prime Minister walked out of the palace and could not help but look up at the sky outside. At this time, dark clouds overwhelmed the city, as if it were going to rain at any time.
He sighed deeply and walked away.
Shen Jue surrendered and opened the city gate directly, allowing the rebels to enter the city to avoid further casualties. These courtiers should accompany the emperor to the last moment, but they can only leave.
The prime minister has always looked down on Shen Jue, and at this moment, he realized that Shen Jue was an emperor.
…
The rebels came in quickly, Shen Jue sat on the dragon chair and waited, and before noon, Shi Zhou appeared in front of him.
The soldiers he brought were the first army, so they advanced to the palace.
Shi Zhou has recovered his true appearance at this time. Compared with his elder brother Shi Ji, he is more handsome, but Shen Jue is not in the mood to appreciate it.
Shi Zhou carried his sword and walked into the hall step by step. When he saw Shen Jue on the dragon chair and Wen Yurong behind him, a sneer flashed on his face.
"Your Majesty is surprised to see Wei Chen?" Shi Zhou's eyes were bright with irony, "Brother Yurong, you are still with this sick child. Does he know why you entered the palace in the first place?"
Wen Yurong hadn't spoken yet, but Shen Jue had already taken the lead.
"Shizhou, if you want to kill, kill, do what you say." He looked at Shizhou below indifferently.
Shi Zhou smiled lowly when he heard the words, "Kill you, I want to kill you, but you tell me first, did you and that Tong kill my brother?"
"Yes." Shen Jue admitted, "It's just that the one who should have killed you was wrong."
Hearing this, Wen Yurong couldn't help but look sideways at Shen Jue.
Shen Jue didn't seem to notice Wen Yurong's gaze, and only looked at Shizhou below.
When Shi Zhou heard this, his hand clenched his sword more and more, and his eyes gradually became crazy, "Why do you want to kill me? Where is our Shifu sorry for you?"
"Why did Gu tell you?" Shen Jue smiled back, "You will never know in your life."
Shi Zhou heard the words and turned to look at Wen Yurong, "Brother Yurong, I'll give you one last chance. You kill him. Come to me now, and I can pretend that nothing happened between the two of us."
Wen Yurong's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes were complicated. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty and his voice was bitter, "Xiaozhou, I won't kill him, you have already won, he surrendered, will you let him go?"
"Not good!" Shi Zhou raised the corner of his left lips and smiled grimly, "If you want me to let him go, unless my brother comes alive. Brother Yurong, do you remember what I said two years ago? I said that one day, I'll make you cry and beg me."
Wen Yurong frowned and could only persuade: "Xiaozhou, that's all in the past, now..."
"Don't mention it to me now, you are not qualified to forgive him for me, and I have not forgiven you." Shi Zhou interrupted Wen Yurong roughly, then he turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "You all give me the exit from the hall. Ten steps, no one is allowed in!"
"Yes, Major General!" After hearing the order, the soldiers retreated from the hall and closed the door.
Seeing this, Wen Yurong's expression changed slightly, "Xiaozhou, what are you going to do?"
"What? You'll find out later." Shi Zhou tilted his head and walked up to the Golden Palace step by step. He didn't stop until Shen Jue was in front of him.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wen Yurong immediately stood in front of Shen Jue and stared at Shi Zhou, "Xiao Zhou, can you let him go? He has nothing left, he won't fight anymore, he knows it's wrong."
Shi Zhou raised his eyelids slightly, "I see a look of him who knows nothing wrong." After he finished speaking, he directly clicked on Wen Yurong's acupuncture point, then carried him to the place where Tong Menger used to sit, and then returned to Shen Jue again. .
Although Wen Yurong could not move, but could speak, he saw Shi Zhou walking over, and his heart flashed with unease.
"Xiaozhou, don't be impulsive, Xiaozhou!"
Shi Zhou stood in front of Shen Jue and looked down, his eyes were cold, "Is your majesty not afraid?"
Shen Jue didn't look at him, just looked straight ahead, "Why should Gu be afraid of you? Boy, it's nothing to be afraid of."
"Not afraid? Not afraid." Shi Zhou lowered his head and smiled gloomily in Shen Jue's ear, "I hope Your Majesty can say this later."
He grabbed Shen Jue's hand suddenly, and pulled out the dagger hidden in the other's hand. Shi Zhou looked at the dagger and put the long sword in his hand on the desk in front of Shen Jue.
Shen Jue frowned, but before he could speak, Shi Zhou used a dagger to lift his belt.
The dagger was extremely sharp, almost cutting iron like mud.
"Isn't Your Majesty the best at seducing men? If you don't have a man, you will look like you are going to die. Then today, Wei Chen will serve you. I hope His Majesty can bear it."
Shi Zhou said with a low smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Suddenly there was thunder outside, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
Shen Jue heard the words, her eyes couldn't help changing, "You!"
Shi Zhou bullied himself up. Although the dragon chair was wide, there was almost no gap between the two of them squeezed on it.
"Your Majesty is pampered and has good skin and meat. Wei Chen has fought in the frontier for many years, and the women in that border are not as tender as your Majesty's body, let alone men. Wei Chen is pitiful, he has not driven meat yet. Take your majesty to open today. meat."
When the words fell, Shi Zhou tore off Shen Jue's belt to the ground.

Scum author: Isn't it obvious that the development that made you cry? (starts to spray green dye like crazy)
