After Uncle Lian told Shen Muping the news that Shen Muzhi was still alive, he was really excited for a while, but when he heard that Shen Muzhi was seriously injured, he became worried again. It's just that Xuan Cheng didn't say where Shen Muzhi was placed in the city now, and he euphemistically said that he didn't want them to come to him for the time being, so no matter how worried Shen Muping and Uncle Lian were, they had to suppress it first. No matter what, as long as you're alive, it's always a matter of time before you meet.

Not long after the report was completed, a report came from the door again, saying that Mr. Wang, the father of the eldest lady, was here, and he also brought the fourth lady, Shen Mingxi.

When Uncle Lian heard this, he hurried to the front yard, and halfway through, he saw Mr. Wang leading Shen Mingxi over. After a few words of greeting, Mr. Wang asked him to accompany Shen Mingxi to the eldest lady first, while he and Uncle Lian walked to the pavilion on the side and talked.

"I was in the palace last night and saw Shen Muzhi. Mr. Wang put his hands behind his back and looked outside the pavilion, his voice was calm, and he couldn't hear too much emotion.

Uncle Lian had just learned from Xuan Cheng that Shen Muzhi was still alive and was in the city, but when he heard Mr. Wang's words at this moment, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked, "The third young master was in the palace last night?" As soon as the words came out, he suddenly remembered what Xuan Cheng said before, the third young master was seriously injured, could it be that the third young master was also involved in the palace last night? Thinking about it, he glanced at the look on Mr. Wang's face, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked tentatively, "Sir, do you know what the third young master was doing in the palace last night?"

Mr. Wang suddenly laughed.

There was a little bit of interest in the laughter.

Uncle Lian pondered the meaning of this laughter, and there didn't seem to be any bad emotions when he heard it, and his heart was slightly settled.

Mr. Wang turned his head to look at him, obviously not wanting to talk more about last night with Uncle Lian, and soon, he changed the topic and asked when Shen Muping would come back.

Hearing him mention Shen Muping, Uncle Lian hurriedly told him that the eldest young master had returned.

After Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, he said strangely, "It's such a big deal, why didn't you say it just now!" After saying that, he pulled his legs and rushed to the courtyard where Shen Muping lived.

Uncle Lian followed behind, smiling silently.

Didn't you find a chance......

After arriving at Shen Muping's courtyard, Uncle Lian did not follow Mr. Wang into the house.

Inside the house, Shen Muping had already propped up his body slightly, and when he saw Mr. Wang enter the house, a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Ancestor." ”

As soon as Mr. Wang saw him, his expression was obviously a little excited, and he couldn't wait to step forward, grabbed Shen Muping's hand, looked up and down, left and right, and sighed with red eyes, "It's suffering......

Shen Muping shook his head, "It's a blessing to be able to come back alive." ”

Mr. Wang looked at him, his eyes full of pity.

After a long time, he asked, "Have you notified Imperial Doctor Lin to come over?"

Shen Muping shook his head, "This is an old injury, there is no need to trouble Imperial Doctor Lin again." ”

When Mr. Wang heard this, the pity in his eyes became a little stronger.

Shen Muping's injuries, he already knew about it. At this moment, looking at the grandson who used to be the proudest of him years ago, but now he should be at the age of high spirits, but he has ended up like this, and his family has suffered such a change, and his heart is both regretful and distressed.

After sighing secretly, he gently patted the back of Shen Muping's hand to appease, and then asked, "Does your father have any news?"

Shen Muping was silent for a moment and then shook his head.

When Mr. Wang saw it, he sighed, and then said with relief, "Don't worry too much, no news is actually good news." ”

Shen Muping's eyelids drooped, and a deep look of grief instantly swelled in his eyes, and he was quickly suppressed. After humming softly, he took the initiative to ask, "Last night's palace dinner, did my grandfather go?"

Mr. Wang nodded, immediately glanced at Shen Muping, and asked him, "Do you know who I saw?"

Shen Muping was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who?"

"Your third brother, Muzhi. Mr. Wang replied.

Shen Muping, like Uncle Lian, although he had learned that Shen Muzhi was still alive, he was still surprised when he heard his grandfather say that he appeared in the palace last night. ”

Shen Muping heard his grandfather say this, and glanced at him in surprise. In the past, his grandfather, because of the influence of his mother, looked down on Muzhi very much. Why did you say such a sentence today?

It seems that Muzhi must have done something in the palace last night to impress this old man.

Just thinking about it, Mr. Wang suddenly asked, "Do you know about the sudden death of the second prince?"

Shen Muping nodded.

"Externally, it is said to be a violent death, but you should also know what the actual situation is. Mr. Wang said, glancing at him, "If I guess correctly, this second prince Jingxiang should have died at the hands of your third brother." ”

When Shen Muping heard this, he was shocked again. Although the second prince said that he had done something rebellious this time, the prince was a prince after all, and His Majesty could kill him, but others could not kill him easily. If the second prince was really killed by the third brother, then there might be some trouble in this matter. Thinking about it, Shen Muping asked, "Someone has seen this?"

Mr. Wang shook his head: "It should be that no one has seen it." At that time, there were only a few people who saw your third brother chasing the second prince out of the Qianhe Palace, and no one saw what happened behind him. By the time the palace guards found the body of the second prince, your third brother was already missing. ”

When Shen Muping heard this, his heart was slightly relieved. It's good that no one sees it. In this situation, more is better than less.

"Speaking of which, if the second prince hadn't died so quickly last night, the matter shouldn't have ended so quickly. Although the final result should not be different, it is likely to drag on for some time, and in this way, His Majesty's side will have to pay some more or less more price. Moreover, Da Yuan's side has not been very peaceful recently, if this matter drags on for a long time and the news leaks out, it is very likely that Da Yuan's side will take the opportunity to send troops, and when the time comes, it will be really a bit bad to say! Therefore, if the second prince is really killed by your third brother, it can be regarded as a merit. Mr. Wang said again.

Shen Muping hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a little bitterness, "This kind of credit, I'm afraid my Shen family can't bear it." ”

Mr. Wang thought for a moment when he heard this, and nodded in agreement, "That's right." The second prince is the son of His Majesty after all. In the current situation of the Shen family, this kind of credit should not be good. As he spoke, he patted the back of Shen Muping's hand again, then sighed and said, "You have a good rest, I'll go see your mother." ”

"Grandfather walks slowly. Shen Muping said.

Mr. Wang nodded, got up and went out.

Shen Muping leaned on the bed alone, but he was not tired, and he kept thinking that the second prince that his grandfather said just now might be the third brother who said that he was killed.

For Shen Muping, the death of the second prince is naturally a happy thing. But if this life falls into the hands of the third brother, it may not be a good thing.

In the case of the Shen family, even if there is the protection of the emperor's grace in the future, it is inevitable that they will be down. If you add the life of this prince, what will happen when the time comes, it's really hard to say. Even if His Majesty doesn't care about it on the surface, it may not be behind the scenes.

Fortunately, the grandfather also said that he did not see the third brother when the body of the second prince was found.

Thinking of this, Shen Muping couldn't help but be a little worried about Shen Muzhi's coming.

I don't know how his injuries are now......

In the Jinming Pavilion, Shen Muyi lay down for three days.

After three days, his face was finally a little bloody, and his anger was a lot, although it would take a while to fully recover, but he finally looked like a normal person.

In the past three days, he also learned about the current situation of the Shen Mansion and the situation in the palace from Xuan Cheng's mouth one after another. After his health improved, he got Xuancheng's permission and went to the Shen Mansion.

It's just that the fact that he was framed at the beginning left a deep problem in his heart after all.

Or rather, he didn't want the eldest lady to know that he had been back.

So, the mask He Xian gave came in handy again.

Fortunately, this thing has not been lost.

After Xuan Cheng accompanied him to the gate of the Shen Mansion, he left in a hurry. He seems to be busy these days, and he doesn't know what he's busy with. And He Xian has never met at all.

Located at the foot of the imperial city, the Shen Mansion adjacent to the Prime Minister's Mansion is very magnificent. It's just that looking at it today, the momentum that used to be seems to be much weaker now. But it's clear that the façade is still the same façade.

Shen Muzhi stood not far away, looked at the door, hesitated for a while, and finally took a step and walked towards the gate of the Shen Mansion.

"Who?" the doorman looked at him with vigilance.

"Is your housekeeper Uncle Lian here?" asked Shen Muzhi.

The doorman looked at him again before he said, "You wait, I'll call him." With that, he turned around and wanted to leave. As soon as he took a step, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked him, "What's your name?"

"Lin Xuan. Shen Muzhi replied.

When the doorman heard this, he immediately ran inside.

It didn't take much effort for Uncle Lian to come.

Seeing that the figure outside looked a little familiar, but his face was very unfamiliar, he hesitated and stepped forward and asked, "What is Lin Gongzi looking for me?"

Shen Muzhi looked at him, and the tip of his nose suddenly became a little sour.

It's only been a few months, but it's like a world away.

In this huge Shen Mansion, there are actually only a few people who really love him, and they can't even count the fingers of one hand. And Uncle Lian, who has obviously aged a lot after not seeing him for a few months, is one of them.

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the sourness in his heart, Shen Muzhi said calmly, "Uncle Lian, it's me." ”

When Uncle Lian heard this, he frowned and looked at him, vaguely feeling very familiar in his heart, but this face was obviously never seen, who could it be?

"Linglongxuan's beef noodles. Shen Muzhi said again.

After Uncle Lian was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, he looked at Shen Muzhi in disbelief, opened his mouth and muttered in surprise, "You, you are ......" The title was still unspoken after all, the face in front of him was too unfamiliar to Uncle Lian, and he still didn't dare to recognize him for a while.

"It's me, Uncle Lian. I'll take a look at Big Brother. Shen Muzhi endured the sourness that surged up in his heart again, squeezed out a reluctant smile at the corner of his mouth, and said.

Uncle Lian's eyes suddenly turned red, his eyes stared at Shen Muzhi's face, his lips couldn't help trembling, and finally, after turning his head and silently wiping the corners of his eyes, he turned back and smiled hard, "It's good to come back." Let's go, let's go in first. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Muzhi inside.

Shen Muzhi also let him pull it.

Along the way, Uncle Lian turned his head to look at him from time to time, and then muttered, "It's good to come back!
