Shen Yuntang retracted his gaze and took Shen Xiang into the old lady's bedroom.

Next to the old lady's bed was the first-class maid of Fushoutang, and Qin and Heya were waiting.

He Qin is two years older than Heya, she is the most useful big girl around the old lady, and she is also stable.

He Qin was dressed in a half-worn plain blue gown, the Yongxing Marquis Mansion had just held a funeral, she didn't wear any jewelry on her head, and her jet-black hair was only fixed with a peach hairpin.

The eyes were still a little red, I am afraid that I had just cried with the old lady in the back room.

"Lord Shizi, you are here, come in, the old lady has been talking about you all morning!"

Shen Yuntang nodded at Heqin, and then pulled Shen Xiang into the inner room.

He Qin looked at Shizi pulling the fifth lady, but was slightly stunned.

The little maid hit the felt curtain in the inner room and let Shen Yuntang in.

As soon as the felt curtain was lifted, a smell of medicine rushed out.

When I turned around the double-sided embroidered screen of the four seasons, I saw a haggard old lady with gray hair half-lying at the head of the bed.

She had a stone blue brocade on her forehead, her face was pale, her eyes were blue, and when she heard the movement, she barely cheered up and looked up, and when she saw Shen Yuntang, a pair of cloudy eyes finally had a glimmer of light.

"Ah Tang, come to grandmother."

Although Shen Yuntang faced the old lady for the first time, she could feel that the old woman who was getting older and younger really loved her as the "eldest grandson".

In the face of such a deep family affection, Shen Yuntang was a little unnatural, she swallowed her saliva, and then calmed down and pulled Shen Xiang to the old woman's bedside.

Mama Ge on the side personally brought a brocade stool and put it next to the bed.

Shen Yuntang took off his robe and sat down on the side of the old lady's bed, "Grandmother, you must pay attention to your body." ”

Old Madam Shen's body was not tough, Yongxing Hou went, the old lady was stimulated, and today it was finally able to half-lie on the bed, cheer up and say a few words to the "grandson".

The old lady sighed, pulled Shen Yuntang's thin and slender fingers, she looked at the "grandson" in front of her, sadness came from it, and patted Shen Yuntang's cold hand, "What do I have as an old guy, I am clean when I die, but Ah Tang has to take care of his own body, now that your father is gone, our entire Hou Mansion can only rely on you!" You can't even ignore your own body like you used to. ”

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, Shen Xiang, the fifth lady beside her, said crisply: "Grandmother doesn't have to worry about the eldest brother's body, Sister Xiang will stew medicine and soup for the eldest brother." ”

The little girl's fairy tales dispelled the oppressive and sad atmosphere in the bedroom in an instant.

Only then did the old lady notice that Shen Yuntang had brought the fifth lady Shen Xiang as well.

The little girl looks a little like her father Yongxing Hou, but she is a concubine, Aunt Han is cowardly, and several sisters are not close to her, all rely on the old lady to take care of one or two, but the old lady's energy is limited, so her life in Yongxing Hou Mansion is not easy.

"The five girls are also here, come to grandmother's side and ask grandmother to take a good look."

Shen Yuntang pulled Shen Xiang to the old lady's side.

The old lady was not in good spirits, and after a while, she called everyone in the house to go out, leaving only her henchmen Mama Ge and Shen Yuntang.

There were no outsiders in the room, and the old lady took Shen Yuntang's hand and didn't let go.

The already reddened eyes couldn't help crying again, "Ah Tang, it's all my fault for me and your grandfather, if we hadn't only considered the Hou Mansion back then, we wouldn't have asked you to come to this point today, it's me and your grandfather who are sorry for you, if you want to complain, blame us." ”

Shen Yuntang didn't expect the old lady to say this to her.

She shook her head, the Shen Yuntang they were sorry for was gone a few days ago, not her.

The old lady saw that the "grandson" lowered her head slightly, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, she hoarsely voiced, and continued: "Your grandfather and I are old, for so many years, we have already seen it, no matter what kind of heroic person, living to the end is not a piece of loess, what if there is an heir, what if there is no heir, the king is looking for a way out, if one is not careful, it will be connected to the nine clans, at that time, even if our Shen family is flourishing, what is the use." ”

"Your grandfather and I are not reluctant to take this title, we have already been half of the people who have fallen into the loess, and it is not a pity to die. It's just that I don't give up your sisters, if my daughter's family is not blessed, it will be like duckweed, if our Hou Mansion falls, what should your sisters do? ”

Shen Yuntang listened to the old lady in silence, she lowered her head slightly, hiding the truest emotions in her eyes, although she didn't completely agree with what the old lady said, but she couldn't show it at this time.

Shen Yuntang's silence made the old lady acquiesce to her agreeing with her words.

She patted Shen Yuntang's hand, "Ah Tang, I've hurt you, in two years, the situation in the court will be stable, and your grandfather and I will think of telling you to retreat." ”

The ancestors and grandchildren had a "heart-to-heart", and at the end of the words, Shen Yuntang suddenly said bluntly: "Grandmother, let's transfer Mama Zhao away from her side." ”

The old lady was slightly stunned, and after being silent for a moment, she turned her head and instructed Mama Ge who was standing on the side, "Xue Lan, this matter will be handled by you." ”

Shen Yuntang saw that the old lady was not in good spirits, and told the old man to rest well and left.

The old marquis's health was even worse, and he was placed in the bedroom on the other side of Fushoutang, and he was still asleep at this time.

When Shen Yuntang came out of Fushoutang, the old lady did not rest immediately, but called Mama Ge to her side to talk.

"How is Mama Zhao? How did you provoke the son? ”

Mama Zhao rose from the little girl, and has been with the old lady for decades, so many years of love, Mama Ge is not good at saying bad things about her by the old lady's side, at this time the old lady asked in person, and she only told Mama Zhao about the inappropriateness on weekdays.

The old lady glared, "There is such a thing?" Why didn't I know before? ”

Mama Ge sighed, "You are not in good health, and the old slave doesn't dare to bother you with these little things." ”

Mama Zhao is also qualified by the old lady's side, if it weren't for Shen Yuntang speaking in person, where would Mama Ge be disliked by the old lady's side.

The old lady glanced at Mama Ge, her heart and eyes rolled, and she also thought of this, she didn't blame Mama Ge for concealing it, but her mood became a little lighter.

"Xue Lan, for some reason, I think Ah Tang is much more flavorful today than before, and I blame her grandfather for forcing her to this point."

Mama Ge comforted the old lady while tucking the quilt into the corner: "Presumably, it must be our Hou Ye who blesses the prince in the sky, and the prince has this change." Old lady, where blessings and misfortunes lurk, and where misfortunes and blessings depend. ”

"You'll say good things." The old lady glanced at Mama Ge, but her heart was much more comfortable than before.

Here, the old lady of the Yongxing Hou Mansion seems to have seen hope, and this Ruiwang Mansion not far away is not like this.

After His Royal Highness the Regent, who held a lot of power, returned from the "tattered" Yongxing Marquis Mansion, his face was always dark and calm. Even the entire Ruiwang Mansion seemed to be plunged into a continuous rain.

The advisers and servants who came in and out were cautious, lest one accidentally obstruct His Highness's eyes.

His Royal Highness King Rui is reviewing the recitals in the grand study of the palatial palace.

I don't know what's going on, but the official documents that used to be handled in half a day are extremely unsmooth today.

These cantatas are either floods in the east or droughts and floods in the west, or bandits in the south, and nothing good happens.

The jade seal that is usually used on the big table is quite handy, and now it looks like it has added such a layer of diaphragm.

Finally, His Royal Highness the Regent's slender fingers moved slightly, and the red pen and the sandalwood desktop collided, making a crisp sound of "pop", which made the personal attendant Wei Gonggong who was guarding the side startled.

Immediately after that, Gonggong Wei heard the voice of His Royal Highness the Regent, which was obviously impatient, "Go and call Chen Sheng." ”

Strategist Chen Sheng put his hands in his wide sleeves and followed Gonggong Wei into the palace study quickly.

After entering the study, Chen Sheng took his hands out of his sleeves.

At this time, people saw clearly that the tall and thin man who was standing older and older was a cripple in the left hand and wrist!

The man's back was straight, his lips were smiling, his steps were leisurely, his eyes were clear, as if he never minded his disabled left hand.

He came to the front of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent and bowed slightly, "Your Highness is recruiting grass people at this time, I don't know what is going on?" ”

"Come less, sit down!"

The regent's gloomy face revealed his close relationship with the disabled man in front of him in a few simple words.

Chen Sheng is the only son of the regent Qin Yin's enlightenment teacher, six years older than him, the two grew up together, and the relationship is not ordinary.

Although Da Yan is an official and has rules of good character, His Royal Highness King Kerui has reached his current status, and with Chen Sheng's relationship with him, it is not easy to get an official and a half-job? Not to mention that it is just an official position, even if it is a third-grade master, as long as Chen Sheng is willing, His Royal Highness King Rui may be able to give it. It's just that Chen Sheng is uninhibited by nature and doesn't like to be restrained, so he stayed with his former brothers and was just a little strategist.

Chen Sheng smiled, casually found a seat on the side and sat down, and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent also walked out from behind the bookcase and sat next to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng saw the gloomy face of His Royal Highness the Regent, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Your Highness, what's the matter?" If you don't mind, you can talk to the grass people, and the grass people are willing to explain a thing or two. ”

The regent's long and narrow phoenix eyes fell on Chen Sheng's face, and a bloodthirsty light crossed his eyes.

"Yongxing Marquis Mansion."

As soon as the four words Kankan came out, Chen Sheng already understood what His Highness meant.

His face, which had been calm and composed, suddenly became serious.

"Your Highness thinks twice, now that the Marquis of Yongxing has passed away, why is Your Highness so anxious. Now although the Yongxing Hou Mansion is weak, there is still that group of old guys watching, you have endured it before, why did you lose patience at this time. Besides, the little prince of the Hou Mansion is only seventeen now, although he has some talent, but he is only a young finch without long hair, rather than letting those old guys occupy the position of the Yushitai, it is better to give it to him, and besides, the Yongxing Hou Mansion still has the holy decree of Emperor Wen......"

His Royal Highness the Regent, who has always been able to listen to Chen Sheng's words, seemed to have eaten the scales this time, and he interrupted Chen Sheng, his voice was suddenly cold, like a demon crawling out of hell, "Let Qin Chou go." ”

Chen Sheng: ......

The air was silent for a moment, and Chen Sheng finally compromised.

"The grass people will do it."

Chen Sheng, who had a delicate heart, came out of the big study of the palace and looked at the gloomy sky, this time he didn't understand what His Highness meant.

Even if His Highness is in a hurry to make a move this time, can he use the big killing weapon sent by his side to a weak young man like a weak chicken?

You must know that Qin Chou is the most powerful secret guard beside His Royal Highness King Rui, and that kid's methods are terrifying to think about.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng could only shake his head, and in his heart he lit a piece of wax for this little prince of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, who was no different from a dead man before he came out.
