Emperor Yuanyou looked at his grandson for a long time.

The father of the sad son's sudden death was hidden, and sitting on the dragon couch at this time was the emperor of Great Qin, who was examining the eldest grandson with the harshest eyes, whether he was qualified to become the heir of the Great Qin royal family.

Taisun knew that Emperor Yuanyou didn't like it, but he still said: "The child is innocent. Ah Yan was born and raised in the Gu family, although he is not the blood of the Gu family, his temperament is not the same as that of the Shen family. It can be said that he is not a member of the Shen family at all. I begged the imperial grandfather to spare his life. ”

"He is Shen Qinglan's younger brother!" Emperor Yuanyou said in a solemn tone.

Taisun said softly: "He is also A-Ning's younger brother!"

Emperor Yuanyou coldly spit out a few words: "The benevolence of a woman!"

The grandson's face was sincere and sincere: "My grandson has been such a character since he was a child, and the emperor's grandfather likes his grandson, isn't it because his grandson is kind-hearted?"

Without waiting for Emperor Yuanyou to speak, the grandson said: "Grandson promised the emperor's grandfather that if Shen Jinyan does anything inappropriate in the future, grandson will not tolerate it. ”

It's just a minor teenager, and it doesn't matter if he's alive or dead.

Later, Emperor Yuanyou did not insist on killing Shen Jinyan anymore. However, there is also a trace of disappointment in the gentle and generous nature of the eldest grandson.

It's easy to be swayed by a woman, so emotional. Is such an eldest grandson really suitable to become the Son of Great Qin?

Emperor Yuanyou thought for a long time, and then made a decree, ordering the three vassal kings of Qi, Wei, and Han to return to Beijing together.

……

The grandson was left in the Funing Palace.

Gu Wanning accompanied the princess back to the prince's mansion.

The crown princess was so sad that she collapsed when she returned home.

After Xu Cang saw the crown princess, he quickly prescribed a reassuring prescription.

After Gu Guanning took charge of the inner house, the first thing he did was to order someone to arrange the prince's mourning hall.

The deceased can be buried for 49 days. At this time, although the weather was cold, it was necessary to use an ice coffin to preserve the body for forty-nine days.

After arranging the mourning hall, Gu Guanning ordered people to enter the palace to deliver a letter, and after obtaining the approval of Emperor Yuanyou, he sent a funeral letter to the prefectures.

In the twenty-eighth year of Great Qin Yuanyou, the crown prince Xiao Huaichen fell ill and died.

More than 100 years after the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, this was the first prince to die before sitting on the dragon chair.

The crown prince died a quick and strange death, but no one dared to investigate it. The officials, who originally regarded the elixir as an elixir and quietly took it, invariably burned the remaining elixir.

As of this day, no one has mentioned the three words of the Immortal Pill again.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yuanyou's decree to punish the entire Shen clan also spread.

After Shen Jinyan, who had been hiding in Wutong House, heard about this, his handsome face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body trembled.

Gu Wanning was busy taking care of the affairs of the mourning hall.

Xu Cang was seeing the crown princess, and he was the only one in the pharmacy.

Linglong, who came to report the news, saw Shen Jinyan's miserable face, and felt a little sorry in his heart, and comforted him softly: "Shen Gongzi, don't panic first, stay in Wutong Juli first." I'll talk about it when the princess comes back. ”

Shen Jinyan's heart was confused, and he nodded obediently.

……

This is a day and a night.

In the early morning of the third day of the New Year, Gu Guanning, who had stayed up for two nights, returned to Wutong House. Although she was full of energy, she was extremely tired after staying up for two days in a row.

When he saw Shen Jinyan, Gu Guanning immediately cheered up and said, "Ah Yan, I almost forgot about you when I got busy." Come over here. ”

Shen Jinyan's fear was slightly calmed down, and when he saw Gu Wanning, who was haggard and tired, he blamed himself and felt guilty: "I can't help anything, it will only make trouble for my sister and make my sister worry." ”

Shen Jinyan also didn't sleep for two days and two nights, and under the excessive worry, his delicate face lost a circle, and his eyes became more and more scary.

Gu Wanning felt pity in his heart, and said softly: "You don't have to be frightened by the fact that the Shen family was ordered to exterminate the clan. His Royal Highness has already interceded in front of the imperial grandfather. Grandfather has promised to pardon your life. ”

When he didn't know it, it turned out that his sister and brother-in-law had done so much for him silently.

Shen Jinyan's eyes were hot, and he choked up: "Sister, my brother-in-law protects me like this, the emperor must be very unhappy in his heart." For me...... It's really not worth it to let my brother-in-law lose his sacred heart. ”

"You're thinking nonsense again. Gu Wanning smiled and reassured: "Grandfather Huang is indeed a little unhappy, but it is not because of such an incident that His Royal Highness will lose his holy family." ”

After speaking, he patted the young man's thin and thin shoulder: "Ah Yan, I once said that as long as you keep to yourself, I will protect you for the rest of your life." If you really miss my heart, live well. Let the world see, although you have the blood of the Shen family on your body, your temperament and temper are by no means the same as the greedy and shameless Shen family. ”

"You grew up in the Gu family, and the Gu family has the grace of nurturing and teaching you. When you speak and act, you should also have the strength and character of caring for your family. ”

Shen Jinyan shouted tears in his eyes, and nodded slowly and vigorously.

After a while, Shen Jinyan asked in a low voice, "Sister, has Shen Qinglan been executed?"

Gu Wanning's eyes flashed with coldness: "How can it be so easy." The punishment of Ling Chi lasted for thirty-six hours, three days and three nights, and then he died of great suffering. ”

Shen Qinglan has only been in the palace for two days, and she has only been tortured for two days, and she has to stay up for a day before she can swallow her breath and close her eyes.

Shen Jinyan fell silent and quickly opened the topic: "How is the crown princess now?"

Speaking of the crown princess, Gu Guanning couldn't help but sigh lightly: "The mother concubine hasn't eaten for two days in a row." I advised her to eat some, but she didn't listen. Just eat it in your mouth, and spit it out quickly. Rely only on ginseng soup to maintain physical strength. ”

No matter how sad and sad the crown princess is, she has to show up for the past two days. If it weren't for the ginseng soup, I would have fallen ill a long time ago.

Rao is like this, I am afraid that after the prince is buried, the princess will also be seriously ill.

Gu Wanning felt sorry for the crown princess, but she was helpless.

"The emperor's grandfather is also bedridden, and His Royal Highness has been staying in the Funing Hall to accompany the emperor's grandfather. I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back. ”

Gu Guanning said again: "These days, I have to take care of the funeral and take care of the mourning hall, and I have to be busy with the children and the mother, I'm afraid I don't have much time to go back to Wutong House to see you." ”

"You must take care of your health, if even you fall ill, I will really be alone and lacking skills. ”

Shen Jinyan immediately wiped away his tears and said seriously: "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and never cause trouble for you." ”

Gu Wanning nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Linlang, who was wearing a white dress, hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Miss, there are already guests coming to the mourning hall to offer condolences." The crown princess was tired, she couldn't hold it anymore, and she was taking a nap. The palace maids did not dare to disturb the princess, so they went to Wutong House to deliver the letter. ”

Gu Wanning said without thinking: "I'll go to the mourning hall." ”
