As soon as Shen Ruoyu entered the house, he was taken aback. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info yard is full of colorful festival lanterns, colored balls, and streamers. In my memory, my yard has never been so lively, and I feel as if I have returned to last year's New Year's Day, when he and Qiu'er had just held a wedding.

Husheng heard the noise and ran out of the house, but was stunned in the yard.

"Old ...... Master?? You're back? ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at the mess in the courtyard in confusion.

"You ...... this"

Dou'er ran out of the house, saw him, and screamed "ah".

"Is the master back? I miss you all. ”

"Really? I don't see it from this yard. Shen Ruoyu couldn't help laughing. Why don't you move quickly, what are you doing with this yard? Don't tell me to have a Chung Yeung Festival and make you like this? ”

"No, it was made for Madame's birthday, and I haven't cleaned ......it up."

Shen Ruoyu was slightly taken aback. "You're celebrating Madame's birthday? Make it like this? …… Is...... Great, I really didn't expect you two to be so careful, thanks to you guys here. ”

Dou'er and Husheng both blushed.

"Sir, not really. It was my lord's friends who came up with the idea to help get it. On that day, Jinan had been trapped for three months, and the lord's friends put up lanterns to celebrate his wife's birthday and the Mid-Autumn Festival, comforting his wife and saying that the lord would definitely come back safely. ”

"Really? My friends? Who are they? Shen Ruoyu was moved and asked with a smile.

"Of course, it's the second young master and the eldest young grandmother of Liufu, as well as Brother Jing, Brother Hong, and Commander Dong! Even Mr. Fang's wife came over to greet him. By the way, there is also Lord Lan, who also gave a birthday gift. ”

When Shen Ruoyu heard Mrs. Fang Xiaoru, she was just more and more moved, and suddenly heard the latter sentence, and was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

"Lord Blue? Which Blue Adult? ”

"It's Lord Lan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, have you forgotten, sir? When you left, he had only been in command for a short time. The one who has been singing incognito before. His sister is still the top brand of Yuchun Tower. ”

Shen Ruoyu looked at her in surprise. "Gu Shenyu? He- he gave a birthday gift? ”

"That's right. I also talked a lot, and Madame was very happy. ”

"What did he give?"

“…… I don't know, you go and ask Madame, she will keep it. ”

"What do you mean—Qiu'er...... She took it? ”

"Of course."

Shen Ruoyu only felt cold hands and feet. He pulled out his legs and went into the house. Dou'er hurriedly grabbed him.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for Madame. You said she didn't come out to meet me, what are you doing hiding in the house alone? - Qiu'er! ”

Dou'er grabbed him and didn't let go.

"Sir! Madame is not there. ”

"Madame is not here?" Shen Ruoyu was puzzled, even more confused than the series of puzzles he had just experienced.

"Where did she go? Big night. Went to Liu's house again? - She should know I'm back, someone should report it, right? ”

Dou'er glanced at Husheng, but Husheng shook his head at her. The two men looked at each other, hesitating.

Shen Ruoyu saw some clues, and his heart had completely cooled.

"Say it, Bean. Where the hell did she go? ”

Douer was a little embarrassed. "Sir—"

"Say it! - She's definitely not going to Liufu. Don't even think about telling this lie. ”

"Sir, you're embarrassing me—"

"Alright then, Husheng, you say."

Husheng's face suddenly changed color, and he grinned, laughing more ugly than crying.

"Sir, I-this-"

Shen Ruoyu said coldly: "I think, I'd better go back to the palace." It seems that the palace needs me more than at home, right? ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked out the door. Douer panicked:

"No, sir, aren't we afraid that you will be angry? Besides......"

She saw Shen Ruoyu stop and turn around.

"Besides...... We ...... People tell you a thousand times, don't let me tell you, we are not good people......"

"People? Who are they? Sounds like it's not a lady. Shen Ruoyu said sarcastically.

Whenever he tried to be sarcastic, his voice whipped like a whip dipped in salt water; It's just that this whip seems to have been drawn into his heart at the same time, so that he only saw his trembling and fear in Dou'er and Husheng.

Dou'er snorted: "People...... People are ...... Husband...... Madame originally wanted to wait for the master at home, but ...... Left and right, the lord has been in the palace, and the emperor's banquet has been held for a long time. Flood...... Brother Hong has been all the time, so he said, if you don't go out for a walk first, it is estimated that the master will not come back until midnight. Madame agreed......"

Shen Ruoyu didn't say anything for a while. Then, he asked:

"Go on. Where did they go? ”

"I don't know. It's just that Brother Hong said that if the master comes back first, he will tell your wife to go to Liufu, so as not to worry about you. But ......"

"But what?"

"Hmm...... I know the temper of the master, if I say that the lady went to Liufu, and you think of her so much, I will definitely go to Liufu to pick her up immediately. Aren't you even more angry when you find out that I'm not telling the truth...... If you want me to make up a single one, I can't think of ......."

Shen Ruoyu thought about it for a moment. He smiled faintly.

"Dou'er, just for this, scared you like this? And you, Husheng. Hong Jiang just took Qiu'er out to relax, as for the two of you to become like this, you don't dare to tell the truth, and you don't dare to tell lies? Well? Can you both tell me why? What are you afraid of in your hearts? ”

Dou'er and Husheng glanced at each other, and then glanced at Shen Ruoxiao at the same time, and the moment they met his gaze, the two of them seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they lowered their heads together.

Dou'er stammered, "That'...... That's us...... We're thinking too much......"

"You're not thinking too much, but—you've seen too much, you know too much, and I don't know if it's finally appropriate?"

"What do you mean, sir......"

"I've been gone for five months, is it the same as Madame who started talking about it every day at first, and then she stopped mentioning me, and she didn't think about it anymore, and there were other things and people that she paid attention to?"

Dou'er listened with some difficulty: "It's the same?" Who else is like that? ”

Shen Ruoyu shrugged: "Forget it, Dou'er; Madame came back and told her not to wait. I'm going to the palace; Your Majesty, I've been away for so long, I'm really not at ease, I have to go and see. Tomorrow you clean up, you should throw these things away, our family is so big that we can't put it down. Remember to lock the door. ”

He said, ignoring Dou'er's pleading eyes, turned his head and stepped out of the house. He rode on a second-rate son and galloped outside the Xihua Gate in one breath before stopping.

"Your Excellency, it's so late, ......" his soldiers recognized him and ran up to take the reins.

"Don't worry, come and have a look."

A few soldiers laughed: "My lord is too worried." You've been gone for five months, and nothing has happened. ”

Just the usual phrase; At this moment, Shen Ruoyu heard it, but it was full of ridicule and sarcasm. Yes, what is the difference between the palace that came in five months and the home that came in five months, with him and without?

He circled around the palace and walked to the Qianqing Palace. The guards recognized him and did not speak.

He stood at the gate of the Qianqing Palace all night. At dawn, the door opened, and when he turned around, it was not the emperor who came out, but Shan Shou, who was holding some candle ashes in his hand to pour, and seemed to be taken aback when he saw him.

"Lord Shen, do you have any urgent matter to face the Holy Lord?"

"No, I just wanted to come and have a look, I don't feel at ease."

Yamashou realized: "Oh. ”

"The emperor hasn't gotten up yet? It's time to go to the court, right? ”

"The emperor hasn't woken up yet. The emperor was drunk last night, and after discussing with Lord Fang, Lord Huang felt that it was not appropriate to go to the early court today, so he sent a notice to send all the early court music to Wenyuan Pavilion directly to them. ”

"It's fine; The emperor hasn't been so happy for a long time, right? It's time for him to sleep peacefully. ”

Shan Shou suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Lord Shen is waiting for the good news." ”

"Good news? What's the good news? ”

Shan Shou smiled: "You'll know when you turn around." ”

Then he will retreat into the temple. Shen Ruoyu stopped him.

"Father-in-law Shan, did the emperor sleep well last night? So drunk. ”

Shan Shou said: "Your Majesty - it's okay, if you vomit twice, you'll be fine." It's not as great as last time, don't worry. ”

"Why am I not worried? There was no one around to take care of him. ”

Shanshou smiled: "Look at what you said, isn't there still a mother." Even if the mother is not there, there are so many people in the palace to serve; No matter how bad it is, there are still minions. Would you like to go inside and have a look? ”

"I ...... Can I get in? Isn't the mother still ......."

"After the Lord fell asleep, the mother went back to Kunning Palace. There's no one else in there now. ”

"However, the emperor didn't summon me—"

Shan Shou smiled weirdly: "When did Lord Shen have so many rules; The emperor has been calling you all night. ”

Shen Ruoyu's heart moved slightly. "Call me? It's true? ”

"How dare I tell this lie?"

Shen Ruoyu finally found some comfort. He followed Shanshou into the Qianqing Palace.

When Zhu Yunwen woke up, it was already his prime. He opened his eyes and saw Shen Ruoliao in front of him.

"You're here so early—" The Son of Heaven rubbed his eyes and stretched weakly, "When can I take a holiday, I don't need to go to court early." ”

The emperor doesn't seem to have woken up yet. Shen Ruoyu only thought it was very interesting.

"What's so difficult about this, you go to sleep, I'll go to the Wenhua Hall and tell them about the Yan Dynasty today."

Zhu Yunwen was confused and lay down on the quilt for a while, and stretched out his hand to grab him.

"No," he muttered, "I am the Son of Heaven, how can I be a Yan dynasty for no reason...... Yin Changlong is going to criticize me again. If you are scarce, you will help me up. Tell Yamatoshi to bring his clothes. ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's time now." Are you still drunk? ”

Zhu Yunwen stared at him in confusion and stayed for a moment.

"It's too late??" The Son of Heaven sat up all of a sudden, "How can I sleep until now!" Why didn't you call me earlier? ”

"Look at you, it's obvious that you overslept on your own and leaned on my head again?" Although Shen Ruoyu remembered Xu Huizu's warning last night, he still couldn't change the problem of sarcastic Tianzi. He smiled and helped him down to the ground, took the dragon robe presented by Shan Shou, and carefully put it on for the Son of Heaven. "Don't worry, Lord Huang and Mr. Fang have already informed the hundred officials that there is no morning today, and all the scripts will be sent to Wenyuan Pavilion to them."

Zhu Yunwen finally woke up. "I remember, I celebrated your achievements in the Fengtian Hall last night, no wonder I got drunk. I didn't even realize you had just come back, tell me why I was so confused. ”

Shen Ruoyu sarcastically said again: "This time, it wasn't me who poured you." ”

Zhu Yunwen blushed: "You kept watch for me all night?" I just came back, why don't you go home to rest and accompany your wife? I always have someone here to take care of, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Shen Ruoyu said: "Your Majesty, what do you say I do?" Be your close guard, don't worry about it, that's called dereliction of duty, not doing your duty, and you will lose your head. It's too much to worry about, and it has become flattery again, and it is seen as a blessing, and if you are fortunate to fall out of favor, you will lose your head. But this degree is really difficult to grasp, can you teach me? ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at him kindly: "I will only be moved, how can you be lucky?" Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do. I won't let you be this close guard anymore, you are out fighting, and you have to worry about me all the time, and you just came back and ran to keep vigil for me, and you can't go back to your home, which is unfair to you. ”

Shen Ruoyu smiled: "If I don't do it, who will do it?" Dong Pingshan still has to take care of Yulin's second guard, and he can't be busy alone. Can you do it without someone around you? Don't think that just because I've been gone for five months is safe and sound, it means that this close guard is superfluous. ”

"Of course I didn't mean that," Zhu Yunwen said, "It's just that I can't let you do this for the rest of your life, burying you." You are not in these times, but in fact, there are people around me to take care of; When Dong Pingshan was busy, Lan Zhengjun often came over to accompany me on behalf of the two of you. I really can't, I can give him the position of close guard, he is so skilled, you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"Lan Zhengjun?" Shen Ruoyu only felt that a bucket of cold water was poured down head-on. "That's the one - Lan Zhongping of Jinyiwei?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Your Majesty, didn't you still hate him when I left?"

Zhu Yunwen smiled weakly: "Yes; At that time, I still had some misunderstandings about him. If you can, you can have more contact with him, and you will soon find that this person is not what we thought he was. ”

Just now, Shen Ruoyu was still relieved, thinking that at least his weight in the emperor's heart was the same as before, and it had not been reduced. The name Lan Zhengjun instantly shattered his illusions.

Wei Guogong was right; It is worthy of being a famous minister. He's been gone for too long. After all, he is not Wei Qing Li Jing, for the role played by Shen Ruoxiao, five months is too long.

Five months ago, Tianzi and Qiu'er couldn't do without him. Because of this, it is so easy for others to take advantage of and replace them.

Who can he blame; Didn't he himself go to the battlefield to seek death at first, and entrusted Qiu'er to Hong Jiang? Gu Shenyu's scheming and ambition, he was clear from the beginning; Isn't it himself who left the void to this person?

It was really necessary for him to think carefully about Wei Guogong's countermeasures. Take advantage of now, while the emperor is still pleased that he is by his side, while he has not "fallen out of favor"-

Sorrowful.

Shen Ruoyu asked, "In that case—then what are you going to let me do?" Let's not mention whether Lan Zheng is suitable or not. Let's just say that he is your close guard, so should I give him the position of pro-military governor? Otherwise, my duty is still inseparable from guarding the palace, plus looking at a Lan Zhengjun. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded: "I understand." Who will do the specific position, whether it will be given to Lan Zhengjun, I haven't figured it out yet. But I can guarantee that you won't have to worry about the mess of the palace guards in the future. Leaving the palace, you will make a difference, and your performance in Jinan this time is proof of this. ”

"Your Majesty, Jinan's victory lies entirely in Lord Tie and Marquis Sheng, I am just an ordinary soldier guarding the city, obeying orders."

"I know you're not," Zhu Yunwen smiled with rare confidence, "I have already asked Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong to show the details of the Battle of Jinan, as well as the details of all those who have made meritorious contributions to defending the city." By the way, as a counselor, you have to hand in a recital sheet when you go through the war with the army. Then I'll know what you've done. ”

"I wrote it before I left Jinan. Tetsu-sama told me that when I returned to Beijing to resume my life, I must write down the details of what I had experienced and hand it in. All three of us have already written. ”

"That's great, then you don't have to be busy. In the past two days, you will go home with your wife with peace of mind and enjoy the feeling of going home. Time is tight, and soon you'll be back to the battlefield again; You don't have to worry about the trivial things around me, if I don't call you, I don't have to come to the palace every day. ”
