Shen Huai stood in the main hall, looking at the simple room and the very ordinary tables and chairs, and his heart was sour. 『』

Even though the county mansion has declined, such a residence is still unwilling to live in the third-class maiden mother-in-law in their family, but the eldest son and aunt of the emperor are ...... Thinking of his family in the past ten years, and then thinking of the enthusiasm of the court during these days, Shen Huai felt how emotional, and felt more and more that the efforts over the years were worth it.

The combination of sincere feelings from the heart and longing for the future made him blurt out a little moist when Qin Ke and the others came in and saw the old and haggard demeanor of the emperor's eldest son and his wife, and blurted out: "Uncle, aunt-"

As soon as the words came out, Shen Huai realized his gaffe and felt apprehensive.

Will the eldest son of the emperor think that he is deliberately clinging to the stove while it is hot?

Qin Ke had been exiled for ten years, and he had long lost those self-suspicious hearts, and he felt very grateful in his heart for Shen Huai's constant care for many years at the risk of offending the saint. When he saw Shen Huai himself, he sighed with emotion: "Boqing...... You're taller and you're thinner. ”

Shen Man was also happy when she saw her nephew, and her spirit was a little better, her eyes were slightly red, but her expression was extremely soft: "It's getting more and more like Aya." ”

The two husbands and wives had not seen their loved ones for a long time, and they were so happy that they ignored all the people in the house. Qin Wan saw that there was still a middle-aged man standing behind Shen Huai who looked ordinary, but his bearing was extremely calm, just standing there was not angry and arrogant, and then looked at the scarlet robe on his body that only officials of the fifth rank and above and the governors of prefectures and counties could wear, she knew that this person would not be a simple character, so she opened her eyes wide, and asked with some curiosity: "Cousin Boqing, who is this prince of the mansion who looks much more mature and stable than you at first glance?" ”

When the crown prince died, the sage recruited the eldest son of the emperor who had not been seen for ten years to return to Beijing. Even if Qin Wan hates ghosts and hates ghosts, and has the identity of "the only concubine of the emperor's eldest son", others have to be respectful, not to mention that she is extremely beautiful, smart, empathetic, gentle and innocent and lively, and has always been very likable? This sentence did not disparage Shen Huai, but he praised the middle-aged man and raised the status of the other party, which really softened the middle-aged man's face a little. I saw him make a big salute to Qin Ke and said respectfully: "The last general, Jiang Luo, I have seen His Highness!" ”

Qin Ke and Shen Man also realized their gaffe, and hurriedly praised two sentences politely, Shen Huai knew Jiang's slightly straightforward temperament, lest his uncle and aunt be confused, so he motioned for the attendant to step forward, took the holy decree, and began to read it.

Qin Wan knelt down with his parents, and when he heard that the holy decree only said to pardon their family and return to the royal status, but did not say anything about restoring Qin Ke's royal status, but the holy decree was a jade shaft and wearing a seven-colored brocade, the highest specification, highlighting Qin Ke's noble status, and his heart couldn't help jumping.

Could it be ......

No, it's not.

Asahi's brother let Aya defile himself, which proves that the sage does not want to make Aya the crown prince. The prince who has not yet recovered Fù Aye obviously has other intentions.

She suppressed her boiling feelings, got up with her parents, and listened to Shen Huai's introduction: "In order to take His Highness back, the sage specially sent the Bei Yaxun Mansion to escort him. ”

North Yaxun Mansion!

As soon as these words came out, Qin Ke and Shen Man looked at Jiang Luo differently.

As the emperor's private army, the highest-ranking general is the same as Shang Shuling, and the emperor is concurrently serving as the emperor; The generals at the next level are generally given false titles to old ministers, especially deceased generals. The positions of the two generals below, although some people hold them, they can't do it long to guard the border, such as Shen Bao, and Wucheng County Duke, who is a very popular minister, and no longer belongs to the Beiya establishment, once he dies, he can't even give his children a post in the Beiya. That is to say, the one who really holds the real power and the highest status in the Northern Ya Army is the general of the Wufu Zhonglang.

The Qinfu guards the Jingshi, and will never leave Jingzhao half a step, followed by the two Xun and Eryi, among the four mansions, the status of the Xun Yifu is the highest. Jiang Luo, as the Zhonglang general of the Xunyi Mansion, is definitely a figure who is in the heart of the emperor, and he is sorry for this position even if he doesn't mention the "emperor's henchman".

Shen Huai was used for the decree and Jiang Luo was used for escort, it seems that the saint is very worried about Aya's safety, and he has reached the point where he will not be at ease if he does not send his close relatives and henchmen over.

That being the case, Shen Huai and Jiang Luo's actions should be fanfare, no one knows about it, no one knows about it, but Pei Yuanjun didn't receive any news, not even a reminder from the Pei family in Luoyang.

It turns out that this is the so-called "family".

Qin Wan sneered in his heart, and saw Jiang slightly take a step forward and bow slightly: "The last general is here, and there is a holy decree." After that, he took out the holy decree of the black horn shaft and pure white silk, spread it out, and stated the content of the holy decree in a tone without any ups and downs: "Pengze County ordered Pei Xi to derelict his duties, and now he is dismissed from his post and detained and returned to Beijing." ”

Pei Xi had already guessed that there was such a thing, and he received the holy decree calmly, and a guard came up with a rope, intending to tie him up. Qin Ke seemed to have been hit on the head with a sledgehammer, and when he saw that the guards actually dared to tie Pei Xi, he came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Stop!" There must be a misunderstanding in this! ”

As soon as he shouted like this, the four guards who were doing it really stopped, and looked at Jiang Luo a little helplessly.

The Northern Yajun is directly under the sage, and he is not afraid of a bald prince who has just recovered his royal status, but has no power at all. They were afraid of Qin Ke's status as the first heir to the throne now, lest they offend the future emperor.

Shen Huai didn't expect that Qin Ke and Pei Xi's relationship was so good, and he didn't know what to say to offend both of them. Shen Man had the heart to play a round field, and she was overjoyed, her energy was a little weak, and before she could think of words, she saw Qin Wan smile slightly, and said warmly: "In the past three years, Pei Yuanjun has taken a lot of care of Aye, and I also hope that General Jiang and Shen County Gong will be accommodating, and arrange Pei Yuanjun's detention place in the room adjacent to the county duke, so that Aya can go to visit." ”

Hearing her say this, Shen Huai also reacted and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is benevolent!" ”

Seeing this, Qin Ke knew that the holy intention was irretrievable, so he was impulsive.

Being able to win preferential treatment for Pei Xi along the way, so that he would not be humiliated by the vulgar soldiers, was already for Qin Ke's sake. Rao is like this, Qin Wan is still afraid that they will say one thing and do another, otherwise why would Pei Xi be locked up next to Shen Huai's room?

Pei Xiyun Wen Yunwu, let him be locked next to Qin Ke's room, Jiang Luo would definitely not agree; Shen Man and Qin Wan are women, and Jiang Luo can't take the risk of damaging their reputations; If it is locked next to Jiang Luo's room, Pei Xi does not suffer but bites back, and Jiang Luo will be difficult to do. After all the calculations, it was best to put it next to Shen Huai, so that everyone could rest assured.

Knowing that this was the best result, Qin Ke had no choice but to nod, but he made up his mind to pay attention, and after returning to Chang'an, he explained to the sage that Pei Xi was not derelict in his duties and did not report it. On the contrary, Xu Zhizhen tried his best to send out the secret letter, how could he bear such a big stigma in vain?

Jiang Luo can achieve the position of a saint's henchman, loyalty is inevitable, and his mind will not be as rigid as it appears on the outside. Knowing that Pei Xi and the emperor's eldest son were not in the usual relationship, Qin Wan rounded up again, gave in to this, and took it into account everywhere, how could he hold on to it? I saw him nodded, and made up his mind not to let those shallow guys guard Pei Xi, he had to pick people from his own henchmen, and he must not slack off for half a point, but he said with a straight face: "Your Highness is benevolent!" ”

"Also, there's one more thing." Qin Wan looked at Shen Man, sighed lightly, and a touch of sadness brushed on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "My brother ......"

As soon as she said these four words, she lowered her head, pinched the placket of her clothes with her right hand, and her throat seemed to be stalked by something. After a while, her feelings calmed down a little, and her voice was not so choked: "In the past three years, it has been a Taoist surnamed Sun and his apprentices who have been doing water and land dojos for his younger brother, chanting and praying for him every day, so that he can be reincarnated safely. ”

The death of the youngest son was a wound in the hearts of Qin Ke and Shen Man, and it hurt when he mentioned it, but Qin Ke subconsciously looked at Shen Man, and when he saw his wife crumbling, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, gently patted her shoulder to smooth her, and had no time to care.

Even though he had been mentally prepared for it, after hearing that Shen Man was born a boy, but the child died young, Shen Huai's eyes were still dark.

My aunt was sallow, sickly and emaciated, and she was old...... If the death of the young son is related to the assassination, it is barely enough, and if the jewelry is also counted......

The death of the eldest son of the emperor's eldest son is a big deal no matter where it is placed, Jiang Luo will not refuse, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Langjun's law affairs naturally cannot be left behind." This is the promise to take Daoist Sun and his disciples and grandchildren on the road.

"As for the people next to him...... Qin Wan pondered for a moment, glanced at Cheng Fang who was standing in the corner, thought about it for a while, and showed an astringent look, "That's it, our family doesn't have any acquaintances in this place, so that's it!" ”

She had the intention of taking Zhang Wu and others back to Beijing, but these people were very flamboyant, they were all mixed with three religions and nine streams, and they had no background, and they were not familiar with life, so they could only rely on them. But after thinking about it, there are so many people in the world who want to soar, and there is no need to take care of one or two. Zhang Wu and the others helped Cheng Fang with his errands, inquired about the news, and used the fields they had purchased over the years to pay enough. Anyway, these fields were originally recorded in the names of these people, and there was no mistake on the surface, besides, their family was exiled, not an outing. With two handmaidens, it can be said that he takes care of A-Niang; Bringing a Taoist priest and a few apprentices and grandchildren can also be said to be for the sake of his younger brother all the way; Bring someone else...... It's too ostentatious.

Seeing that Qin Wan was calm and organized, Shen Huai regretted that his intestines were blue - if his aunt's son could be saved, even if his aunt's body was not very good, with the support of such a powerful girl, the child would definitely be able to live safely through the first ten years. Boys, it's not easy to feed when they're young, but it's better to be strong and alive when they're older?

Sensing Shen Huai's heartache, Qin Wan didn't show it on his face, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Why, I, a big living person, stand here, and I can't keep up with my brother, who has only lived for a few hours?
