The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and Fang Yiai had no other choice but to agree first. Under his repeated calls, Shen An finally walked out with a soup basin.

The Sishen soup warms and replenishes qi, and its rich aroma made it difficult for the picky Li Zhi to fault it. He immediately picked up chopsticks and ate happily.

Li Zhi ate delicious food, and the few courtiers who accompanied him were all very greedy.

Shen An followed the rules, and of course he would not forget to serve a bowl to Li Shimin. Li Shimin had been on the battlefield for many years. In the military camp, he always ate meat and drank from large bowls. His favorite food was beef and mutton.

I actually have little interest in pork.

But he was also willing to try Shen An's craftsmanship. He picked up the spoon and looked at Li Zhi. His red face was chewing hard and his mouth was bulging, which was particularly cute.

"Shen An, our father and son are where we are today, thanks to your father and you!" He suddenly said with emotion.

Suddenly hearing Li Shimin's emotion, Shen An was surprised and happy.

Fortunately, he brought up old things again. As long as Shen An asks while the iron is hot, she might be able to understand the relationship between Li Shimin and his father.

What is surprising is that the jade medal given by Li Shimin is still in Fang Xuanling's hand. If he wants to hand over the jade medal if he wants to, where can he get it?

You know, he had already shied away from it last time. If he can't show it this time, Li Shimin will definitely notice something strange with his scheming mind.

Fang Erlang was also nervous. Shen An glanced at it and sure enough, someone was looking at Li Shimin blankly, and his spoon almost dropped to the ground.

Fang Yiai's face turned livid, and she really didn't know how Shen An would respond next.

Once Li Shimin notices the flaw, he and Lao Fang will be left with nothing to lose.

Li Shimin stared at Shen An, still waiting for his answer. The heat of the Sishen Soup had gradually weakened, and cold sweat broke out on Shen An's forehead.

If you want to be more humble, you can tell Li Shimin all the truth and let him make his own decision. But in this case, Fang Yiai will be completely sold.

Even if he was relieved for a while, he would not be able to survive in the Tang Dynasty.

He rolled his eyes and became wise in his haste.

"My father often educates me. As a minister, I must take Li Tang Sheji as my responsibility at all times and fulfill my duties loyally. It is my honor to serve His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Jin. I believe in my father's spirit in heaven, and I know Wei Chen’s actions will also make you happy.”

Shen An's words brought tears to Li Shimin's eyes. He leaned over, put his arms around Shen An's shoulders, and sighed: "You father and son are both loyal and righteous people. Back then, Shen Quan took an arrow for me on the battlefield and saved my life." After returning to the capital, I tried to promote him to a higher rank several times, but he refused and insisted on settling down in Shanhefang."

"I still remember his words to this day. He said that Your Majesty is in charge of the Tang Dynasty and works hard day and night. I would rather be here to look after the well and ensure that His Majesty has good food than to be promoted and make a fortune."

Shen An nodded slightly. Li Shimin's words overlapped with the image of Shen An in his mind. He was honest and loyal and never threatened others with his achievements.

Such a kind and loyal person was forced to throw himself into the lake in the end. It is truly a human tragedy.

Not to mention a person like Li Shimin who valued friendship and loyalty, even Shen An, who was beyond reach, felt sad.

This Tiansha's eldest grandson Wu Xian, if it weren't for him, why would Shen Quan be like this!

He really wanted to tell all the evil deeds of the Changsun family to Li Shimin, but when the words came to his lips, he still tried hard to swallow them back.

Now is not the time, and besides, he himself has a lot of troubles that have not yet been resolved, so how can he easily instigate a relationship between Changsun Wuxian and Li Shimin.

"The jade plaque on your body was given to Shen Quan by me. Back then, he saved my life, so I gave him my personal jade plaque. I told him to exchange my life for my life. From now on, I will We have a life-long friendship with him, and I will never treat him badly."

"What a pity! He died right under my nose, and I didn't notice it at all!"

"I'm sorry for him, I..."

Recalling those years and thinking about Shen Quan's tragic situation, Li Shimin burst into tears, all of which came from his heart.

Along with Li Shimin's cry, the atmosphere at the scene changed suddenly. Everyone present was no longer in the mood to eat and drink. Even the naughty Li Zhi put down his bowls and chopsticks and ran to his father's side.

"Father!"

"Your Majesty, this is all in the past. Your Majesty carries the entire Tang Dynasty on your shoulders. It is inevitable that there will be things that cannot be taken into consideration."

"Please be at ease, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty's body is damaged, I will really feel sorry for the common people, and I will feel sorry for my father."

Shen An tried his best to persuade, and Li Zhi also held his shoulders and shook him vigorously. With the combined efforts of all parties, Li Shimin's mood finally improved.

"The dead cannot be resurrected. Father, please express my condolences." Li Zhi leaned into Li Shimin's ear and told him in a sweet voice. Li Shimin was used to wind and rain. After the grief, he quickly adjusted his condition.

The thin Shen An sitting next to him made him deeply moved. Just a dozen years ago, the same kind of gathering of monarchs and ministers occurred, and Shen Quan also rejected Li Shimin's suggestion of promotion.

Even now, his son still doesn't want to be a high official, which is not the way a son should be filial to his father.

"Son, where is your father's jade plaque? Take it out, I want to see it."

Bang bang bang...

As soon as the sound came out, Shen An stood there blankly, and the silver key in Fang Yiai's hand fell out with a crisp sound.

It's over!

In the end, I couldn't escape this disaster.

After a moment of silence, Shen An spoke with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the jade plaque is so precious that I dare not carry it with me. I keep it at home."

Apart from this excuse, Shen An could not think of any other excuse.

His mind went blank, and he just asked Li Shimin to forget this matter quickly and not to think about it again.

However, before Li Shimin could say anything, Li Zhi rushed up to finish the job: "Your house is next door, why don't you just go and get it!"

"I haven't seen that jade plaque before. Bring it over quickly and let me see it too."

"Yes, Shen An, I gave the jade medal to your father. You are still afraid that I will take it back again. Do you think I am such a stingy person?" Li Shimin's smile was extremely kind.

"Hurry and show it to me. The jade medal has been separated from me for more than ten years. Today is the opportunity. Go quickly!"

When Fang Yiai heard this, he immediately panicked. He rushed to the front of the emperor and said in a stuttering voice: "Your Majesty, the jade plaque is now..."

"It's at Wei Chen's house now. Wei Chen will go get it now. Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"

Before Yi Ai finished speaking, Shen An made a decisive move and interrupted him. He was still unconvinced and stared at him wanting to continue.

Shen An pulled his sleeve and warned him not to talk too much with his eyes, and then replied to Li Shimin who was sitting on the seat: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen will come back as soon as he goes. Erlang seems to have drunk too much. It is better to let him go with Wei Chen to wake up." sober up."

Fang Yiai's unusual behavior had aroused Li Shimin's suspicion. He squinted his eyes and looked around at the two of them.

Weird, really weird!

Why are these two young men with completely different personalities, Shen An and Fang Yiai, so close to each other now? Judging from the way they hesitate to speak, could there be something wrong with the jade token?

Lost?

Or was it robbed?

He also thought about the last time in Ganlu Hall, when the jade tablet was mentioned, Shen An's expression seemed a little uncomfortable. He could completely reveal their disguise, but he did not intend to do so.

Having been in the imperial court for many years, he has already mastered the art of catching the big and letting go of the small. Even if the jade token is lost, he will not punish Shen An.
