Chapter 553: Wronging Yourself
Xuanyuan Hao saw that since Shen Lian arrived at the Li Mansion, he suddenly became very wrong, and asked again: "If you don't like here, let's go back immediately, there is no need to wronged yourself."
Shen said with pity: "Now is not the time to go back", but in order to keep the prince from worrying, she barely squeezed out a smile and forcibly found a topic: "What does Your Highness think of Li Shen?" The prince didn't expect Shen Lian to ask this question, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes rummaged through the small box on the table, and then said in a noncommittal tone: "But Er'er."
"It's really a hero's vision."
Shen Lian said in his heart.
"Li Shen is just in the library pavilion to hold an idle position to manage books, under the official position, as you saw just now."
Xuanyuan Hao pushed the small box to the side, resting his elbows on the table.
Shen Lian smiled: "Then you still give him such a big face today, you didn't see his wagging tail and begging for mercy."
Xuanyuan Hao also smiled and said, "Why are you talking so poisonous, I have seen a lot of this kind of person, so naturally I won't take it to heart."
But you, who will never be able to rub sand in your eyes. ”
Shen Lian said helplessly with a bitter face: "Yes, what His Highness said is that I have to learn a little more with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future."
Xuanyuan Hao listened to her voice with ridicule, reached out and gently scraped the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile: "You!" Shen Lian rubbed her nose and dodged to the side.
The solemn atmosphere in the room finally eased a little, Xuanyuan Hao was not so worried, Shen Lian smiled on his face, his heart was still in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
Laughing and laughing, Shen Lian still couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, do you know about the maiden family of Li Shen's deceased wife Wang Shuhui?" Xuanyuan Hao looked at her in confusion, very puzzled: "What's wrong with you today, why are you so interested in Li Shen's family affairs?" Shen Lian hurriedly covered up his words, only saying that he was idle and fine, and he was really bored, so he just suddenly thought of asking casually.
Xuanyuan Hao said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, it doesn't hurt to talk about it.
Li Shen's father-in-law was a businessman, and according to the laws and regulations of our dynasty, the merchant family was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination and could not become an official.
So he particularly valued Li Shen's son-in-law, he was better to him than his own son, Li Shen was also competitive, a few years ago he was admitted to the Royal Forest Garden, and he found an errand to do things, just took the Wang family to the capital a few years ago, this time the Wang family died, Wang Lao was not able to go to the capital to see his daughter for the last time, and it was also pitiful. ”
Shen Lian had already heard the rest from the maid of the Li Mansion, so she was not surprised to hear it now, she held her cheeks and looked distressed: "Why can't the merchant be an official?" Xuanyuan Hao laughed, and when he saw that she looked serious, he casually explained to her: "A businessman has a low status, and even if he has a fortune, he can't get on the stage."
Shen Lian was even more speechless, everyone is created equal, is it possible to divide people into three, six, nine and so on because of the profession they are engaged in? But she didn't dare to say it, and even if she said it, it wouldn't change anything.
Because this kind of deep-rooted thinking has existed since ancient times, not to mention that as an ancient person, Xuanyuan Hao even thinks so in modern times? Forget it, now is not the time to argue about this.
Now that Wang Shuhui's real relatives are not in the capital, even if she dies unjustly, no one will make decisions for her.
Now that I know this, I will do my best to investigate the cause of her death, and if things are really strange, I will also reveal the truth to the world.
"Shen Lian, I feel a little tired."
Xuanyuan Hao propped his head, his tone weak.
Shen Lian became nervous all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked Xia Liang to take out the medicine bag he brought and fry it, Xia Liang hurriedly went out to find someone to decoct the medicine, Su Mei also panicked, and said to Shen Lian: "Master, the prince is a little tired, let's go back to the palace, how inconvenient it is to stay here!" Shen Lian said categorically: "No, let's only be out of the palace for a few hours, if the prince can't even survive a few hours, and the spread will be even more criticized, just say that the prince is just tired, and he will be fine after taking medicine and resting for a while."
Su Mei hurriedly said: "What the master said is true."
So he and Ya'er helped the prince to lie on the bed, Xuanyuan Hao smiled bitterly: "I'm just a little tired, not so weak, I can walk by myself."
Su Mei and Ya'er let go, Xuanyuan Hao walked over unharmed, and Shen Lian relaxed a little.
When Xia Liang came over with the boiled decoction, Shen Lian fed him the medicine with her own hands, covered him with a quilt, and let him sleep peacefully.
After doing all this, Shen Lian was watching by the bedside to think about things, and suddenly an idea came to him, so he beckoned Ya'er to come over and watch the prince, and he would come when he went.
Ya'er was curious and asked, "Where is the master, just leave it to the slaves and maids to do something."
Shen Lian lowered her voice and said, "It's okay, you are optimistic about the prince, don't say anything else."
Seeing what she said solemnly, Ya'er had to agree, Shen Lian took a detour to the front to see, the crying people were probably tired of crying, their voices were already much lower, only a few young girls were still crying uncontrollably, Shen Lian guessed that they should be Wang Shuhui's biological daughters, and felt sorry for them.
Now that there are many people, and they are not free to move, it is better to wait until the evening, and now it is better to go back to the room and stay by the prince's side.
Shen Lian returned to the room in the backyard and guarded the prince until the sky was slowly shrouded in darkness.
Li Shen was guarding the door with a large number of people, and Shen Lian occasionally didn't want to do it, so he probed his brain and looked inside sneakily.
Shen Lian knew that these people wanted to know what the prince's physical condition was, was it really as weak as the world said.
If this is the case, people's hearts will inevitably be shaken.
However, the prince's power is not much weaker, Shen Lian is not afraid of others doubting, he is afraid that others will not doubt, now at this time, he only needs the prince to face outsiders in a state full of energy, and completely change the attitude of others towards him.
Shen Lian walked outside the door and pretended to be angry: "The prince is resting, why are you gathering so many people?" Li Shen hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, and left with his feet without touching the ground.
Back in the room, Prince Xuanyuan Hao had already opened his eyes and was about to get up, Shen Lian walked to the edge of the bed and sat at him, and asked, "What does Your Highness think?" Xuanyuan Hao smiled, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Refreshed, just a little thirsty."
Shen Lian hurriedly asked Xia Liang to pour tea over.
Xuanyuan Hao drank tea and got out of bed, Shen Lian didn't want Xia Liang to help, and put on Xuanyuan Hao's coat by himself.
"I've slept long enough this night, and the time has come, let's go back to the palace, shall we?" Xuanyuan Hao looked down at Shen Lian, who was tying his clothes.
Shen Lian's slender jade hands flexibly tied a delicate knot to the clothes belt, Xuanyuan Hao stared at her hand and looked stunned, Shen Lian chuckled lightly and said: "Don't worry, go to the front first and be polite to everyone, so as to save those people worrying about His Highness."
Xuanyuan Hao didn't like what she said, his hand pressed her hand that was smoothing the placket of his clothes, and asked her, "Why do you say this?" Shen Lian looked up at him, smiled like a flower, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness has slept for so long, not only the concubine is frightened, Li Shenhe and those officials who came, one by one, are also very worried about His Highness!" Xuanyuan Hao sneered, understood the meaning of Shen Lian's words, took his hand away, and said, "Since this is the case, Gu Ke can see them, so that they can rest assured!" The two of them came to the front yard hand in hand to say goodbye to everyone, and the others saw that the prince's face was as usual, and they all said that they were too careful, it seems that the prince's body is gradually recovering, as long as the prince's big tree does not fall, they don't have to worry about the aftermath of the tree falling down.
After gossiping, everyone sent Xuanyuan Hao and Shen Lian and others to the door, Li Shen stepped forward and respectfully opened the curtain for the prince, Xuanyuan Hao got into the carriage first, and then stretched out his hand to take Shen Lian into the car, and the maids had another car to follow them back to the palace.
On the carriage, Shen Lian thought for a while, and said to Xuanyuan Hao: "Jiang Yue's medicine is indeed effective, His Royal Highness couldn't sleep well before, I specially asked him to add something calming and calming, now that the prince is sleeping well, that medicine should also be reduced as appropriate, otherwise it will be bad to suddenly feel sleepy like today."
"Then tomorrow Xuan Jiang Yue will enter the hall and tell him about this situation."
Xuanyuan Hao didn't seem to take this matter too seriously, and replied casually.
