Chapter 337 Meeting someone
Chapter 337 Meeting someone
Facing the old emperor's tears, Shen Chenli felt nothing.
If you truly love your child, how could you not notice anything abnormal in that child?
How could someone who truly loved his child leave her alone without asking her what happened?
But they are just excuses!
He didn't want to hear any more of these things, as they only made him feel that his mother's life had not been easy.
He just wanted to come and see, to see her father on behalf of his mother.
Even though he didn't care much about it, he heard from his father that his mother was still thinking about seeing his father before she died.
He just came to check on him on behalf of his mother, that's all!
"I already knew about these things. You may also know about what Prince Dongping did in Dasheng. I came here to see what you think."
His mother's hometown, if possible, Shen Chenli didn't want him to be caught up in the war.
The emperor sighed deeply. How could he just do whatever he wanted?
"The King of Dongping imprisoned me here because I knew what he had done, but I didn't expect that most of the court of Dongqi would stand behind him. Everyone was indifferent to my disappearance and followed his orders to send troops to attack you!"
Shen Chenli sat aside, listening to the old emperor talking about various problems in the Dongqi court. He did not expect that under such circumstances, the old emperor would be completely defenseless against him.
For a moment, he also felt a little emotional, but it would be good if the war could really be quelled, but he would never let King Dongping go!
"If I help you, what can you give me?"
"you help me?"
"It's just a deal!"
The old emperor nodded slightly, his eyes deepened, and he pondered for a long time before looking at Shen Chenli and said:
"Dongqi is not as good as Dasheng. Now it has suffered serious losses due to the chaos of Prince Dongping. If Dongqi has anything to give to Prince Chen for trading, I can only think of gold and silver for the time being, but I don't know what Prince Chen wants?"
Although this is the child of his most beloved daughter, the two of them have different positions after all. Since he is helping, he must have some requirements, and he has to consider the people of Dongqi.
Shen Chenli looked at him and said something that surprised the old emperor.
"Once all the wars are settled, Dongqi and Dasheng will sign a 100-year friendship and non-aggression agreement, and continue to pay tribute to Dasheng every year, but the tribute will be doubled on the current basis."
For Dongqi, such conditions are simply giving them help for free!
Suddenly, the old emperor was even more moved. He no longer thought about anything else and hurriedly got up and walked to his dragon bed, bending down and groping underneath.
As the mechanism turned, Yu Tingwan heard the old emperor calling her from inside the house.
"Ajin's wife? Come on, let's go out."
Yu·Ajin's wife·listen to the evening:?
When I walked into the inner room, I saw two people standing in front of the opened bed. Yu Tingwan raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Chenli.
What does it mean?
"Let's go, the emperor said he would take us to see someone."
He said, how could an emperor of a country, especially one who had been on the throne for so many years, be trapped in the palace so easily by his own son!
Several people walked into the tunnel. The emperor walked in front holding a small lamp. After a while, the originally straight passage began to twist and turn. The emperor kept talking about Shen Chenli's mother in front.
Shen Chenli and Yu Tingwan listened in silence without making any comment.
Finally, the three of them stopped in front of a wooden door. The emperor looked at them, then raised his hand and looked at the wall beside him.
"It's strange. Aren't you afraid that I will take you to the residence of the King of Dongping and join him to attack you?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Chenli said nothing, but Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows at the old emperor and said, "Then we will definitely not be the first to die."
The old emperor was choked for a moment. How could he say it? Looking at the two people in front of him, although they looked a little thin, for some reason, he had a feeling that what they said was not a joke.
But looking at his famous grandson again, he was really too thin. It seemed that the Emperor Da Sheng had treated him badly when he was young.
Shen Chenli, who had no idea what the emperor was thinking, watched the emperor suddenly laugh at him, making him wonder whether he should leave this place first!
The old emperor finally came to his senses and pretended not to notice their constipated expressions. He raised his hand and knocked on the wall, giving Shen Chenli and the others a reassurance.
"Don't worry, this is not the residence of Prince Dongping. This is the residence of my other child, Prince Jingxuan."
King Jingxuan?
Yu Tingwan thought about what he had learned before. This Prince of Dongqi didn't seem to be very outstanding and was a very low-key person. It seemed that he was intentionally hiding his abilities.
While he was thinking, the wooden door in front of him suddenly moved aside, revealing the scene outside. Outside stood a tall and handsome young man who looked to be in his thirties with a handsome face. One could tell at a glance that this man exuded warmth from the bottom of his heart.
When the man saw the emperor, he quickly bowed and greeted him, and then glanced at the two people following behind the emperor.
"Father, why are you here at this time?"
King Jingxuan reached out to help the old emperor and placed the lantern in the old emperor's hand in the passage. He did not ask much questions to the two of them, but just nodded slightly at them. When he saw Shen Chenli clearly, his eyes paused slightly, and there was no other reaction.
Then, the old emperor waved at Shen Chenli and the other two, signaling them to follow.
"Come, it's safe here."
Seeing that they had all walked out of the passage, the old emperor pointed at King Jingxuan beside him.
"This is King Jingxuan of Dongqi, my thirteenth son and your mother's younger brother."
Then he looked at King Jingxuan and pointed at Shen Chenli and the others and said, "These are the children of your sister, Prince Chen and Princess Chen."
These words stunned King Jingxuan.
His sister's child? His sister?
Prince Chen?!
King Jingxuan’s eyes widened instantly and he looked at Shen Chenli in disbelief.
Yes, isn’t the famous Prince Da Shengchen the child of his royal sister?
So, after being shocked, King Jingxuan turned to look at his father and asked with his eyes.
So, why would Prince Chen of Da Sheng appear here?
The Emperor of Dongqi shrugged and said helplessly: "They are here to help."
Afterwards, the Emperor of Dongqi told King Jingxuan the deal they had previously discussed.
"I can't help it. You don't have enough troops now, and my power has been taken away by that beast. If he hadn't wanted to take the throne yet, I would have been gone long ago."
Yu Tingwan felt confused during their conversation and couldn't help asking.
"Since you can show up in front of people, you can definitely take back the military power from King Dongping. Why do you have to pretend to be sick and drag it out like this?"
The one who responded to this was Shen Chenli. He just said:
"Because the military power can no longer be taken back, right?"
