At noon on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Queen Kuang personally went to King Cheng's Mansion to see the last look of the five princes and take care of the funeral.

The emperor did not go, but arranged for the princes to go and help.

After experiencing the incident of the five princes, the emperor was devastated, and his already not very good body collapsed suddenly, and now except for the early dynasty, he is recuperating in the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing this situation, all the civil and military officials were very worried about the heir to the throne.

But no one dares to mention it at the moment.

When the three princes returned to the door of the East Palace, Zhou Zhou was already standing in front of the shadow wall to greet him.

Zhou Zhou was more than two months pregnant at this time.

However, because she has not been pregnant for a long time, her movements and posture are as usual.

She had just learned about what happened last night from the people sent by the palace, and she had been worried about the third prince in her heart.

At this time, if you look closely, there is still a faint sadness under her smile.

"How's it going?" Zhou Zhou asked.

The third prince did not answer immediately, but took her hand and slowly walked into the room before saying, "Grounded for half a year." ”

Zhou Zhou was startled at first, and then relieved.

After all, it was much better than the punishment she had feared.

Zhou Zhou said to the third prince in an encouraging tone: "In my opinion, this punishment is not only not a bad thing for you, but an excellent thing. Because in this way, you can use this half year to cultivate your mind and mind. Second, it can achieve the purpose of avoiding the current limelight. ”

The Third Emperor reached out and clasped Zhou Zhou's hand and said, "Yes." So I also know very well that my father is clearly punishing me by doing this, but he is actually protecting me. ”

He knew that after half a year, when the limelight passed, there would not be many people talking about the matter of the fifth prince again, not to mention that he still had Yan Yunpei, a witness and ally.

"Well, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. You've always been able to bend and stretch, and this time it's a grind. As long as we have a good mentality, the future is still full of hope. Zhou Zhou said.

The third prince hugged Zhou Zhou into his arms.

Two years of husband and wife. Although the original relationship was not deep, with the accumulation of time between the two, the third prince found that Zhou Zhou was indeed the most suitable person to be his wife, so his feelings and dependence on her became deeper and deeper day by day.

"I'm going to Sijing Garden early tomorrow morning." The third prince buried his face in her fragrant neck.

"Good. My daughter and I will personally drop you off at that time, and we will visit you often in the future. Zhou Zhou said.

The third prince nodded.

"The five princes are ......" Zhou Zhou wanted to speak and stopped.

"My father told me not to go. If you are in the early stages of pregnancy and the fetus is still unstable, don't go. When your fetus is stable, you can take the three animals to his grave and pay respects. The third prince said.

Zhou Zhou nodded.

………………

After Yan Yunpei entered the house, he immediately called the family together to talk.

"The emperor has made it clear that he will demote me to the rank of official and remove me from the post of head of the Supervision Bureau, but I think it is better not to do it on the side of the Supervision Office. It's just that the work of the cabinet has been done for so long after all, and I feel a little reluctant. Yan Yunpei said.

He didn't covet that position and that salary, but because it was a job that allowed him to use his talents and ambitions.

But at the moment, he is more or less a guilty person, so naturally he does not dare to plead with the emperor.

Moreover, he knew very well that it would not be appropriate for him to stay, because if he did so, it would be tantamount to unwilling to accept the emperor's punishment, so not only the emperor, but also the civil and military officials and the common people would have opinions about his actions.

But his upright personality made it difficult for him to endure the eyes and gossip of the people around him after he was demoted.

In his opinion, a man. The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, but it must not be humiliated.

However, if he resigned at this time, he would inevitably be suspected of disobeying the emperor's disposition, so he felt that he was not suitable for resignation in a short time.

"If you really feel embarrassed, just quit your job." Mrs. Lu said.

Yan Yunpei waved his hand and said, "Resign at this time...... I have truly become an unkind and unrighteous person. ”

What about resignation? With his character, can he be willing to endure the ridicule and insults of others?

Yan Jinhao thought for a long time, then looked up at Yan Yunpei and said: "Daddy, there is an old saying: life has been in a dilemma since ancient times, and it is also said: the lesser of two evils, it is better to accept the emperor's disposal first." ”

"yes. There is a story of Han Xin suffering the humiliation of his crotch in ancient times, and judging from the current situation, you can only be Han Xin once. Mrs. Lin also said.

Zhang Hanlin has always had no opinion on political affairs, so she said: "I listen to everyone. ”

There was still Su Shanyun left in the room and did not express an opinion.

So everyone's eyes focused on Su Shanyun.

Su Shanyun said: "Now the situation in the DPRK and China is delicate, and the emperor and the three princes need your assistance. So you might be better off in your words. ”

Yan Yunpei said as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, then I won't ask for resignation." ”

After talking about this matter, everyone talked about Yan Jinxuan again.

Originally, Yan Jinxuan said that he would be able to return on the fourth and fifth days of the Lunar New Year, but now it is the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and I don't know if he can return today.

And today, the heaviest snow since the Spring Festival fell in the entire capital.

Snowflakes are flying. The entire capital is covered in a white expanse.

"The snow is falling so heavily, maybe the second child has been delayed by this snow." Mrs. Lu said.

Everyone nodded.

"Shanyun, you've had dinner here tonight and then go back, right?" Mrs. Lu took Su Shanyun's hand and said.

In such a situation, Su Shanyun actually wanted to stay and accompany everyone more, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help make dinner later." ”

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Yan Yunpei went back to the room to rest.

Yan Jinhao and his wife also returned to the room.

"Master should be safe now, right?" After entering the room, Zhang Hanlin asked Yan Jinhao.

"Hmm." Yan Jinhao replied simply.

In fact, he is not sure whether Yan Yunpei is safe now.

Although the whole family knew that Yan Yunpei had not done anything wrong from beginning to end, after all, that incident was related to the lives of the children of the royal family, so it was inevitable that they would be afraid.

After all, that is the blood of the Son of Heaven.

And the Son of Heaven is the most powerful.

Who lives or who dies is not a matter of one sentence?

"Do you want to take a leave of absence during this time?" Zhang Hanlin asked again.

Yan Jinhao's face immediately pulled down.

Zhang Hanlin hurriedly said: "I'm just mentioning it." ”

Yan Jinhao's expression softened a little, and he sighed and said, "Right now, our family's every move is being watched, so it's best not to fall into the things that are criticized." ”

"Yes." Zhang Hanlin nodded hurriedly.

Mrs. Lu chatted with Su Shanyun for a few words and went to the kitchen.

Because her mind was full of Yan Jinxuan, Su Shanyun was distracted several times while cooking dinner.

Why hasn't he come back yet? Did he encounter something on the way?

Su Shanyun looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside, and had more and more a premonition that he might not be able to come back tonight. (To be continued.) )
