Chapter 551: The Bottomless Pit
Could it be because Mo Shoucheng just mentioned something about which crown princess Shen Lian? Mo Shoucheng thought in his heart.
, said that he has always been indifferent to people in the royal family, and he doesn't like it or approach, because he doesn't want to wade into the muddy waters that seem to be bottomless, and he doesn't want to involve the entire Mo family, so in fact, at the beginning, after Yuanyuan confessed to them about the deal he made with the crown princess Shen Lian, Mo Shoucheng's first reaction was not to agree.
Because if you get in touch with Shen Lian, wouldn't it mean that the Mo family is on the prince's side? Therefore, Mo Shoucheng immediately put forward the condition, it is okay to cooperate, but it must not have the name of his crown princess In fact, at that time, Mo Shoucheng thought that Shen Lian would give up the idea of wanting to cooperate after hearing such a request.
After all, this is also her general plan to fall through, so how can she continue to choose to share a house? But Mo Shoucheng was wrong, Shen Lian not only did not give up, but also very sincere, who sent it for the first time and the drawings were unqualified, Mo Shoucheng knew the reason and told Shen Lian what he said, in fact, he himself knew very well how serious his words were, and for a person with an identity like Shen Lian, it was very disrespectful.
A pampered person like the crown princess, after hearing that, may be very angry, and since then he has cut off the idea of cooperating with their Mo family, but Mo Shoucheng was wrong again, Shen Lian is a very humble person, not only listened to Mo Shoucheng's paintings, but also really made a new design, and quickly sent it over.
The weather was a little warmer that day, and the prince had taken medicine and was discussing with Shen Lian whether to go to the nearby villages and towns for a walk, which could not only be used as a relaxation, but also as exercise.
The two of them were talking and laughing very excitedly, and Lin Yang came in from outside to say goodbye.
Xuanyuan Hao saw that his face was heavy, and his mood was not affected, and asked, "What happened?" Lin Yang finished saluting and replied: "Your Highness, Li Shen's wife passed away a few days ago, and he has been handling funerals at home for the past few days, and there are not enough people to manage books, so there needs to be a person in the library."
"This is natural, if you pass on my words, you will order Lin Hanyun to make up for his errand, as for Li Shen's family affairs, how is it handled now?" Xuanyuan Hao asked.
Lin Yang said: "Tomorrow is the day of the funeral, what, Your Highness, ...... you" Xuanyuan Hao smiled, and then said: "I want to go and have a look to show condolences."
Lin Yang lowered his head, only said one yes, and then retreated.
Xuanyuan Hao looked at Shen Lian and asked with a smile, "Would you like to go with me?" Shen Lian also replied with a smile: "Where Your Highness goes, I will go too."
As they spoke, the two of them got up, intending to go to the garden to have a look as originally planned.
Although there is no blooming scene in the garden, it is also full of spring and scenery, full of vitality.
A large area of greenery swept over the sky, making people's mood also become very comfortable, Xuanyuan Hao let out a long sigh of relief, only to feel that there was a breath of joy in the dantian slowly surging up.
"Shen Lian, I think that after taking Jiang Yue's medicine recently, my body seems to have become better, and even my mood has improved a lot, Jiang Yue is certainly meritorious, but in my heart, you are the medicine that can cure my heart disease."
What he said was from the bottom of his heart, there was no half-falsehood, at least at this moment, he was sincerely grateful to Shen Lian.
It's just that it is unknown how long this gratitude will last.
Shen Lian naturally understood these truths, but she still had to cooperate with him, so she said, "When did Your Highness become so sour when you spoke."
The prince laughed loudly.
There is a large plum tree planted in the garden, which blooms just right at this time, and all kinds of plum blossoms are full of fragrance, competing for beauty, but at this moment they are all eclipsed under Shen Lian's reddened face like peach blossoms.
Xuanyuan Hao stared blankly for a long time, as if everything in heaven and earth had come to naught at this moment, only he and Shen Lian were close to each other, so he held the warm and smooth hand in his hand tighter.
Shen Lian also noticed that he suddenly increased his strength, and couldn't help but look up at him, only to find that the prince's face had changed, his eyebrows were frowned, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyes were already misty, staring at him, as if he had thousands of unspoken words.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Shen Lian gently opened his mouth to call him, and Xuanyuan Hao came back to his senses, but turned his head to look away, no longer looking at her.
Shen Lian's heart was sour, knowing what the prince had just thought, she reached out and gently pulled Xuanyuan Hao's face, forcing him to look at herself.
There was infinite sadness and sorrow in Xuanyuan Hao's eyes, Shen Lian held back his sadness and said: "Don't think nonsense, I will always be by your side, we still have Jiang Yue's big trump card, didn't His Highness still say that he feels better recently?" Xuanyuan Hao showed a wry smile and said: "The Li Shen that Lin Yang mentioned just now, I heard that he and his wife have been together for many years, but I didn't expect that before he could completely soar, his wife would ......" Before he finished speaking, Shen Lian stretched out her hand to cover his mouth, her gestures and her eyes were preventing him from continuing, Xuanyuan Hao smiled gently, but obviously his heart could not let go of the matter of death.
Shen Lian smiled, put down his hand, turned his back to Xuanyuan Hao, and said calmly: "In this world, I will do my best to protect the people around me, so I am willing to trek through mountains and rivers to find a doctor for His Royal Highness, and go to great lengths to bring Jiang Yue back to the palace, whatever I can do, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up, doesn't the prince understand my intentions?" Xuanyuan Hao listened to her flat tone, as if he was disappointed by the sadness he had just had, and regretted saying those disappointing words in such a good weather today, he could only shout in a low voice: "Shen Lian......" Shen Lian turned around, took a step forward, was very close to him, and said: "Although life and death are up to heaven, I dare to conclude that if Li Shen's wife can be treated by a good doctor as soon as possible, she will definitely be safe."
Speaking of this, she lowered her eyelids, and Xuanyuan Hao could only see her long wet eyelashes, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to wrap around Shen Lian's waist.
Shen Lian raised her eyes and looked directly at him again: "The crown prince is luckier than her, so I ask Your Highness not to think nonsense in the future."
Her eyes are as tender as water, but hidden under the tenderness is tenacity.
Xuanyuan Hao nodded involuntarily and said, "I promise you."
Shen Lian smiled at him, with a bit of playfulness in his tone: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse!" Xuanyuan Hao was amused by her, and repeated along with her words: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse!" The two of them packed up their mood, then went back to the dormitory to rest, and prepared to leave the palace tomorrow to visit Li Shen's mansion.
Early the next morning, the two of them took a carriage and went to the Li Mansion with all the belongings that Xia Liang and the others had packed up last night.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a group of people kneeling at the gate of the Li Mansion.
These people knew yesterday that the prince was coming, and today Li Shen took the lead, and the men, women, and children in the palace came to kneel to greet them.
Today was the day of the funeral of Li Shen's wife Wang Shuhui, it stands to reason that on such a big day, Li Shen's clansmen should always have some tears on their faces, but now it seems that because of the arrival of the prince, the sorrow on the faces of these people has been replaced by joy, and even Li Shen can't help but show joy.
Shen Lian couldn't bear it, and secretly glanced at the prince, thinking that yesterday the prince and his two unrelated people were still sad because of Wang Shuhui's death, and today it seems that these clansmen who are related to Li Shen are nothing more than this, and even Li Shen only cares about joy and forgets sadness.
Shen Lian sighed in her heart, but her face was unmoved, maintaining the solemnity that she should have as a crown princess.
The prince sensed Shen Lian's thoughts, and only gently squeezed her hand under the wide sleeve robe, signaling her not to take it to heart.
This world is like this, maybe the death of a loved one is not as glorious as the prince's personal presence.
The dead are gone, even if they are unhappy for her in their hearts, there is no point in it.
Li Shen welcomed the crown prince and the crown princess into the room and placed them, and tried his best to slap the horse beside the prince, Shen Lian couldn't stand his face, and only drank tea sullenly.
