After being transformed into cannon fodder, she relied on reading minds to save her life.

Chapter 11 11 Go to the Palace

……

"Say!"

Shen Kun looked outside the house and saw a guard trotting in quickly and came to the house.

"General, Prince Fu has summoned you to the palace to discuss matters!"

"Leave the carriages and horses waiting outside, I'll go right away!" Shen Kun nodded. He has been busy with the Snow Rabbit these past few days, and now King Fu has just summoned him, so it's time to talk about business.

……

After a stick of incense, Shen Kun was already standing outside Prince Fu's Mansion. Looking at the vermilion door, Shen Kun had many thoughts in his heart. He had been entering and exiting this door since he was seven or eight years old. It has been almost 20 years now. I lived here until I was 15 years old, until I led the troops to conquer Xiliang that year...

"General, please come in!" A loud voice brought Shen Kun's thoughts back to his eyes instantly.

"Steward Qin, lead the way!"

Having said that, Shen Kun followed the steward of Prince Fu's Mansion as he walked forward, but Shen Kun could not count how many times he had walked this path from the gate to the inner courtyard when he was a child. Even the Corridor Pavilion He still clearly remembers how many stone lions there were.

At that time, he was about the same age as King Fu, and they often played hide and seek behind the vermilion gate, and were often scolded by the old prince for not knowing the rules...

In his wild thoughts, Shen Kun had already arrived at the door of the study room in the inner courtyard. As soon as the people in the room saw him, they immediately stood up with a smile on their faces and patted the chair next to him.

"A'kun, you're finally here, ahem... Come and sit down quickly!"

"Subordinates dare not exceed the rules." Shen Kun lowered his head slightly, and his hands hung by his side in a regular manner.

"Akun, what did you say? Ahem..." As he spoke, Shang Zong coughed violently again.

"Your Majesty, is your cough still severe recently?" Shen Kun frowned and couldn't help but take two steps forward, his eyes full of worry.

"No...ahem, it's nothing..." Shang Zong tried his best to cover his mouth, but there were only coughs and pregnancy that couldn't be hidden in the world.

The butler Lao Qin on the side quickly handed over a cup of tea and explained to Shen Kun, "My prince seems to have a more severe cough recently..."

"Old Qin! Shut up, why are you telling Ah Kun these things... Ahem~" Shang Zong tilted his head and glared at him, then turned around again,
"Akun, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm fine!"

Shen Kun secretly clenched his fists, and his expression returned to normal.
"Yes! I shouldn't talk too much, my subordinates! Did the prince call me here this time to provide relief food?"

"You are indeed my good brother. Sit down and talk slowly!"

Shen Kun no longer refused this time, sat down and took a sip of water, and then said,

"My subordinates went to Jiangnan for seven or eight days and found that the people in that area were in dire straits and had no clothes to wear. However, after secret investigation, it was discovered that it was Gu Zhizhou, the governor of Jiangnan, who had embezzled the relief grain and disaster relief materials distributed by His Majesty."

"Gu Zhizhou? Isn't that the person around the prince?" Shang Zong played with the tea cup in his hand, his eyes full of questions.

"So my subordinates feel that this is also a good opportunity to bring down the prince!" Shen Kun said calmly.

"You think so too? But the prince has a deep foundation. It would be... difficult just to rely on this one thing!" Shang Zong looked at Shen Kun with a faint look in his eyes, paused and finally said,

"Ah Kun, His Majesty is critically ill now. Government and public affairs are discussed by the cabinet ministers and the prince together. But the prince... you know, he either paints or does carpentry every day~"

Shen Kun immediately stood up from his chair, half-knelt in front of Shang Zong, clasped his hands in fists and said, "Shen Kun is willing to fight for the prince, even if he has to die!"

Shang Zong also stood up quickly and helped him up.

"What are you doing? We are brothers, good brothers who grew up together. Don't say this!"

Shen Kun looked a little moved and said with moist eyes,

"Shen Kun is what he is today, all because the old prince saved me from the fire and raised me in the palace as one of his own. If it weren't for the old prince, I might have been buried in the sea of ​​fire when I was seven years old..."

Shang Zong sighed deeply and looked in the direction of the palace in the distance.
"Don't talk about that. It's all in the past. Now I'm just worried about the common people in the world. If the prince is still so ignorant and wastes his time, then sooner or later, my Dayu Dynasty will fall into the hands of people with other surnames. By then, the people all over the world will suffer... Hey~"

"Your Majesty, the troops in my hands are at your disposal at any time!" Shen Kun understood what he meant and bowed to Shang Zong.

Shang Zong lowered his head and walked around the room,
"Everyone said that the prince was kind, simple and without scheming since he was a child. His favorite thing was to draw, write and do crafts. Emperor Ama has always criticized his careless attitude."

"What the prince is saying is that His Majesty the Emperor was in good health before, but who knew that when he went to court a month ago, he suddenly had a crooked mouth and squinted eyes, and was hemiplegic. When this happened suddenly, the edict on the Zen throne was not drafted. Although Prince Shang Cheng has been in office for many years , but the edict has not been written, and His Majesty is still alive. The most important thing is that the prince is idle all day long and does not do his job. He often comes late and leaves early when attending court meetings. He also has to wait for a pile of memorials to be reviewed. The ministers in the court also treat him badly. So many complaints..."

Shang Zong frowned, looked at Shen Kun and said,

"Ah Kun, there are only you and me here. To be honest, Huang Ama's body seems to be incurable by gods and immortals. Beichen Kingdom has always been eyeing us. I'm afraid that Dayu Dynasty will destroy these Liming people in his hands. What should I do?”

Shen Kun nodded, "I am willing to die for the prince to the best of my ability!"

"Now we need to collect more evidence that the prince is insufficient. One day we, ahem... we will capture him in one fell swoop!" As he spoke, Shang Zong coughed again.

Seeing Shang Zong's unspeakable discomfort, Shen Kun's heart also tightened.

"My lord, take care. I found the snow rabbit, but I don't know if it can really cure the cough. Once I confirm it, the snow rabbit will be sent to the house as soon as possible!"

"Snow Rabbit? That magic medicine for coughs mentioned by the miracle doctor Shinanzi? Have you really found it?" Shang Zong's eyes lit up, "But... you have also been coughing for a long time, you keep it..."

"No! The prince is the pillar of the country, and he may still be..." Shen Kun was mid-sentence, but was interrupted by Shang Zong waving his hand.

"Stop talking, be careful the walls have ears!"

"Yes! What should Jiangnan Governor Gu Zhizhou do now?"

Shang Zong pondered for a while, "Arrest him, and bring everyone related to him under control!"

"Then...what's the explanation from the prince?"

"I'll tell you!" Shang Zong raised his head and looked into the distance with scorching eyes, "I, the Yu Dynasty and the people, cannot be destroyed in the hands of these national worms!"

"Yes... I will send someone to do it right now!"

……

Time flew by so fast. It had been half a month and Shen Kun, who had not waited for a reply from Dadong, looked at the snow rabbit lying on the bed, sometimes confused and sometimes awake, and anxiously wandered around the room. The precious blue and white porcelain tea cup was also broken several times. cup,

"Have you not heard back yet from Dadong?"
