Chen Shuyue followed Xiao Dezi from the backyard into the mansion.

What catches your eye is the most familiar scene of Chen Shuyue, pavilions, green vines, fountains spitting fog, a courtyard scene of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which was designed by his father and emperor back then, and it is also a place where Chen Shuyue and her mother often chat. On the edge of the pavilion is a heart-shaped artificial lake, which was dug for him by Chen Shubao when he was the prince, Chen Shuyue vaguely remembers that the two brothers rowed together in this lake, and the young Chen Shuyue couldn't row Chen Shubao. After many years of inhabitation, the lotus flowers in the river are still vibrant and proud, although the flowers have fallen, but the late autumn in this southern country is still green and colorful. Walk along the small stone road through the round gate, which used to be the place where Chen Shuyue led a group of generals to practice, and the swords, guns and sticks were still shining.

Xiao Dezi stepped forward and said, "Mother Zhao often wipes these weapons when she is fine. ”

Chen Shuyue didn't reply, Xiao Dezi understood Chen Shuyue's mood, and took a few steps back.

There is Chen Shuyue's sweat here, in order to practice martial arts, he practices here day and night. Here Chen Shuyue's tears, leading the troops to the expedition to let people encircle and suppress, he came here to cry on the ground. It was also in this place that the third brother Chen Shuxian killed the protector general Yu Wenqing, offended the national teacher of the current dynasty, and was exiled to the bitter cold land. Chen Shuyue looked at these familiar places, and suddenly saw the wooden sword on the wall, which was her sister Shuhua's favorite toy. Chen Shuyue walked over and took it in his hand to look at the wooden sword carefully, and scenes from the past appeared in front of him. Suddenly, he felt that Shuhua might not have left him yet, so he turned around and said, "Have you seen Princess Shuhua?" ”

Xiao Dezi paused for a moment, he didn't know why Chen Shuyue suddenly asked this question, maybe it was because he was thinking about things, so he had to shake his head.

"Also, how could they see Shuhua? If you want to see it, you can only see it in Guangling! Chen Shuyue muttered to herself.

"Yue'er, you're back." A familiar voice called Chen Shuyue's name.

Following the voice, Chen Shuyue looked over and saw an old man with gray hair and a folding fan walking towards him, "Mother Zhao." Chen Shuyue screamed and knelt down in front of the old lady.

This old lady is Chen Shuyue's nurse, and she pulled Chen Shuyue with one hand.

Mother Zhao helped Chen Shuyue up, "Yue'er, I knew you would come back, my wife talks to you every day, I know that you will be fine, Uncle Yan, do you remember?" ”

Chen Shuyue felt a pain in her throat and wanted to open her mouth to say a few words, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to nod frequently.

Mother Zhao took Chen Shuyue's hand and continued to walk towards the front yard, and there was a pair of Chen Shuyue's armor in the main hall, which was given by his second brother Chen Shubao when he was in power, that is, the current Emperor Chen. And the special feature of this armor is the most cherished object of Chen Shuyue's mother, in the years when Chen Shuyue left Kyoto, the old people had to wash their faces with tears every time they saw it.

On the table in the main hall is a plaque of Chen Shuyue's mother, and there is Shuhua's on the side. Chen Shuyue hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and at this time, Steward Guo and Ouyang Jing were both kneeling beside them.

"Mother, the child is not filial, the child is not filial, and I haven't been able to come to visit you until now, the child is not filial!" Chen Shuyue said with a bang.

"Xuanwu, you don't have to be sad, my mother left very peacefully." A familiar and unfamiliar voice appeared.

Chen Shuyue turned around suddenly, and kneeling behind him was the eldest brother Chen Shuhuan.

"Big brother, is it really you?" Chen Shuyue couldn't believe her eyes.

"Yue'er, Huan'er has been in the house all these years, otherwise how would a few of us have such great ability, but he has always refused to let us tell anyone." Zhao Ma said.

"Yes, little prince, behind the Hu family inn is also the support of the eldest prince, otherwise we would have become someone else's knife in this Kyoto." Xiao Dezi added.

Chen Shuyue suddenly understood a little bit of the common people, but he still couldn't believe it, he felt as if he was joking with him, why so many things happened at once.

Chen Shuhuan helped Chen Shuyue up, "Xuanwu, your eldest brother is ashamed of our Chen family, and ashamed of several younger brothers and sisters. After speaking, he put a stick of incense on his mother's tablet and his sister's tablet.

"Big brother, didn't you let the Northern Zhou cavalry be injured back then, and then you got thick sores? My third brother and I saw you go with our own eyes. Chen Shuyue couldn't cry at this time.

Chen Shuhuan patted Chen Shuyue's shoulder, "Fourth brother, maybe it was my Chen Shuhuan's life that shouldn't have been extinguished, I lay in the coffin for three days, and on the fourth day, I suddenly woke up, and at this time, a group of tomb robbers appeared, thinking that there would be a lot of burial objects in my cemetery, and I picked up a life by mistake." ”

"Why did the governor in Kyoto go crazy overnight, that is, he was the only one who robbed the tomb that night and recognized me, because he was too frightened, and after the governor came back that night, the whole person began to go crazy, and he often talked about retribution and retribution, do you remember this?" Chen Shuhuan said.

"Yes, the governor began not to go to court the day after your burial, and it is said that he has been crazy on the streets of Kyoto, so I see." Chen Shuyue said.

"And after I climbed out, I simply left the Chen country, I went all the way north, and arrived at the tribe of the Murong family, unexpectedly, my martial arts were also taught by the Murong tribe, and the thick sores also cured them, so the inn I opened was called the Hu Family Inn." Chen Shuhuan said.

Saying that, the two brothers laughed heartily, how many joys and sorrows were hidden in this laugh, how much helplessness and tears were hidden.

"But the most painful thing for me is the second brother, why has a good court become so in his hands?" Chen Shuhuan said.

Chen Shuyue flicked his sleeves, "It's hard to say, as for the second brother to become like this, I don't know, the third brother just thought that the second brother was too pedantic to kill Yu Wenqing, but who would have thought that the third brother would become a prisoner of the Liang Dynasty after that, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." ”

"Xuanwu, I also know a little bit about what you have happened in recent years, you can rest assured that with the eldest brother here, the people of Guangling will definitely not suffer." Chen Shuhuan said.

"Two princes, I still keep some of the old lady's old things, what should I do with them?" Du Juan said.

Speaking of her mother, the pain in Chen Shuyue's heart could not be expressed, and the original sad mood was somewhat calmed down.

Chen Shuhuan waved his hand to let everyone else out, he knew that his younger brother was in pain in his heart at the moment.

Chen Shuyue slowly sat on the edge of her mother's tablet, looking at everything in the hall stupidly.

"The eldest prince, the little prince is afraid that this time he will be more auspicious!" Steward Guo said.

Chen Shuhuan understood, he nodded and said, "It's because there are many bad lucks that we are needed, you know?" For the sake of this brother, I can lose my life. ”

Steward Guo smiled knowingly, this was the only time he felt that there was still a righteous spirit in the prince's mansion for so many years, and there was still a force behind Chen Shuyue to support him.

"The little one understands." Steward Guo said.

"Uncle Guo, you have served us in the prince's mansion for so many years, I don't think you should get involved in this matter." Chen Shuhuan said.

Steward Guo hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, my old man has never left the prince's mansion in his life, and he can have the care of the emperor and several princes today, even if my old man dies, he will protect the safety of the master of the mansion." ”

Chen Shuhuan said: "Uncle Guo, I will definitely do my best as the eldest brother for the safety of Xuanwu this time, if there is any mistake in entering the palace tomorrow, remember that you must bring Xuanwu out, your task is to protect Xuanwu and protect the last seedling of my Chen family." ”

Speaking of which, Steward Guo no longer argued. Although the familiarity with Chen Shuhuan is far less than that of Chen Shuyue, since the renovation of the prince's mansion, he has only discovered that Chen Shuhuan's kindness and tolerance as the eldest son have been discovered. The Chen family is indeed lacking love for Chen Shuhuan, but it is ill-fated, and being born in the emperor's family can only be like this.

Half an hour, Chen Shuhuan entered the hall to visit Chen Shuyue.

Chen Shuyue held her mother's tablet and sat on the ground stupidly. "Xuanwu, when my mother left, I told me to protect you, her old man said that the happiest thing in this life is to give birth to four sons, two daughters, and both children. But before leaving, she couldn't see Shubao come to visit, perhaps, in her mother's heart, she never blamed Shubao. ”

"The child is not filial, if he didn't do stupid things back then, maybe he wouldn't have affected his mother." Chen Shuyue said crying.

"Xuanwu, my mother has not suffered in the past few years, although Shubao has never come back to visit, but she has not embarrassed her mother. Listening to Zhao's mother, my mother has been in good health in recent years, and she eats and lives with her subordinates every day, and occasionally mentions a few of our brothers in front of them, but I can't see that the transition is sad. Chen Shuhuan said.

"My mother is a stubborn person, how domineering my father was back then, my mother never said bad things about my father behind my back, and taught me to share my father's worries and not be disobedient. But my mother left suddenly, it must be caused by longing for illness, Chen Shubao, although you didn't hurt your mother, but this kind of ignoring my mother is my enemy, and I, Chen Shuyue, are determined to be inseparable from him. Chen Shuyue was suddenly furious.

"Xuanwu, when my mother left, I told me that I must tell you not to make enemies with Uncle Bao, but she said that she didn't want to see her brother turn against her." Chen Shuhuan said.

"Brother against the purpose of the thing he did first, I have been in Guangling for more than ten years, and I have never done any disobedient acts, but he has humiliated me again and again, and he has taken tens of millions of people in Guangling like child's play. Mother is in the house, as a son, has he ever seen it? When my mother left, he didn't allow me to go to Beijing to say goodbye, do you say that there is such a son? Is there such a brother? Chen Shuyue still roared.
