"You have been unconscious for three days."

"Sha'er, has anything happened in the capital during the past few days since I left?"

"Zheng Xiaowei resigned from the capital and left the capital forever. Concubine Shu was named Concubine Shu and managed the affairs of the harem together with Concubine Shu."

Zhen Shanfeng's eyes darkened slightly. Her cheap father let Captain Zheng go, which showed the emperor's generosity and calmed the morale of the left-wing army in exchange for their loyalty.

Concubine Shu came from a noble family, and her rise to the throne was a signal to the noble family that the emperor still trusted the noble family, entrusted them with important responsibilities, and eliminated the family's scruples to prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

The family is not united. Unless they are faced with life and death, they will unite. Otherwise, who would dare to fight against the emperor alone?

In this way, the emperor's left and right sides will be balanced, and the court will be relatively stable.

Now, Xie Ning has to think carefully about anything he wants to do, otherwise, he may end up losing his wife and losing his troops.

"Your Highness, thank you for asking me to see you."

Zhen Shanfeng's eyes turned cold, but, "Please."

"yes."

Xie Ning stepped into the Chunxi Palace's bedroom and saw her leaning on the bed, with a pale look and cold eyes. She paused, lowered her eyes, and suppressed the emotions in her eyes.

"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Don't dare."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two masters was a bit strange, the palace attendants wondered, but still respectfully brought the chair to Xie Ning.

"You all go down," Xie Ning waved his hand.

The other palace people stepped back, but Sha'er and Que'er didn't move. They all looked at Zhen Shan. Their master was the princess, not Xie Ning.

Zhen Shan nodded gently and then the two of them went out.

Xie Ning didn't mind. He lifted up his clothes, sat on a chair, looked at her, and lowered his voice, "How are you feeling?"

"Excuse me, sir, for your concern. I am fine."

"Zhen Shan, it was me who hurt you this time..."

"It's not the first time, why does Mr. Xie still take it to heart?" Zhen Shan turned his eyes and smiled coldly.

Xie Ning pursed his lips, and after a long moment, he sighed softly, "What happened in the small mountain village was not my original intention."

Zhen Shan smiled coldly, "Not you? Ha, you want to say that it was your subordinates who made the decision without permission? And you were helpless, but you had to protect them? So you are not wrong?"

Xie Ning's fingertips trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes with a dark look, "That's not what I meant. I owe Lin Yan too much. You can count the blood debt they owe on me."

"Master Xie is really kind and righteous. Lin Yan is your confidant. You owe him, so his life is yours. The people in the small mountain village are just a bunch of untouchables. How can they be compared with you? What does it matter?"

After all, the dozens of lives in this small mountain village deserved it."

Xie Ning's face turned blue, "I have never thought about it this way, Zhen Shan, believe it or not, I have never thought about hurting the two elders of the Lou family, nor have I thought about killing people in the small mountain village."

"But in fact, it was your subordinates who killed them because of you, and you even shielded the murderer and wanted to downplay and cover up this incident, right?"

Xie Ning closed his eyes, clenched his hands tightly, and then loosened them. He took out a dagger from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Okay, fifty-two lives, fifty-two knives, I will never fight back."

Zhen Shan glanced at the dagger in his hand, raised her hand, took it, and pulled it out of the sheath. The sharp blade reflected her cold and sarcastic eyes.

She closed it and said mockingly: "Striking you fifty-two strokes here? Mr. Xie, what do you want to do? Why do you want my father to doubt me?"

Xie Ning's face became even more ugly, "I have taken care of everything. My injury has nothing to do with you."

"Has Wei San been captured?"

She suddenly changed the topic. Xie Ning was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Zhen Shan slammed the dagger into his face, his eyes turned red, "Fifty-two lives, the two elders of the Lou family have taken care of you as their own son these days, even if they die, you still want to use them to plot, you

If you are seriously injured, do you want to pretend to be an assassination? Who will assassinate you?"

"In the eyes of the emperor, there is no one else but the noble family. You can use this to tell the emperor that you and the noble family will fight to the death, so that he will trust you more and make him more afraid and disgusted with the noble family. When the time comes, you can start again

Plan and let the two parties fight fiercely, and you will benefit, right?"

Xie Ning's pale eyes were extremely cold, his face turned pale, his nails dug into his flesh, and his palms were dripping with blood.

A tear fell from Zhen Shan's eyes, "Xie Ning, are you still a human being? Are they giving you kindness just to kill you and take advantage of you?"

He stood up abruptly, looked at her condescendingly with cold eyes, "No matter how gorgeous the cage is, it is still a cage. Do you think those who live in a cage are human beings? Don't you think so too, taking one step and calculating every ten steps?

?What are you talking about?"

Zhen Shan smiled, his eyes getting redder and redder, "I'm not high-minded, but at least I'm still a human being."

"Zhenshan, conscience, and kindness are not needed in the palace. Here, kindness is equal to stupidity, and emotion is suicide. If you can't see through it, sooner or later your bones will be buried in this palace and become a stepping stone for others."

Outside the window, dark clouds suddenly hit the sky, the wind howled, and the candlelight in the bedroom flickered, extinguishing clearly. Even though the earth dragon was burning, it was still dark and bone-chilling.

Zhen Shan raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, his eyes were cold and solemn, "Master's teachings, I will definitely keep them in mind."
