Yan Jikang knelt at the foot of the steps in front of Shen Mengxi's door, Qingfeng asked him to go back, but Yan Jikang refused, and resolutely wanted to meet the princess to apologize.

Shen Mengxi put down the pen in his hand, walked out, and stood on the steps: "Twelve, revenge doesn't have to be done yourself. Lai Junchen is dead anyway, you can rest assured, you can leave the princess's mansion from today onwards! ”

"Twelve doesn't leave, Twelve hasn't done those two things for His Highness yet!" Yan Jikang kowtowed, "Your Highness, the twelve knew that they were wrong, they were full of revenge that day, they didn't consider His Highness's situation, and what they said was very rebellious and ridiculous, please punish Your Highness!" ”

Shen Mengxi always felt that her assassination and the destruction of the Yan family's You family were a series of cases, and there was a close connection between them, so she felt sorry for Yan Jikang, so she was willing to save him and give him shelter.

But over the years, Yan Jikang has not been taught by his father and brother, and he has been confined to the backyard all the year round, if he does not change the status quo, he will eventually achieve nothing.

"The first thing is to leave the princess's mansion immediately and take care of the Luoyang Bookstore. In the future, your father will be rehabilitated and your status will be restored, and you will be able to completely leave the princess's mansion and do whatever you want. It's just that your current identity can't find a satisfactory wife, so it's hard for you. In the future, give birth to a few children and continue the bloodline of the Yan family, and your parents will be able to laugh at Jiuquan. ”

"Oh, Your Highness!" Yan Jikang said with a crying voice.

His shoulders twitched, and the princess seemed to have been so disappointed in him since that mistake that she had felt so comfortable and close that she had been gone.

He couldn't even tell whether he said that he was going to make a face for His Majesty that day because he really wanted revenge, or because he complained about the identity of this unworthy face. He felt that something important had been lost, and he just wanted to cry out loud.

Half a month later, the news of Wu Chenghe's death came out, and the imperial doctor said that he died of excessive worry and heart failure. Shen Mengxi asked Wu Youji to send a funeral and go to mourn.

Emperor Wu has completely investigated clearly, and it was Wu Chenghei who wanted to kill Taiping back then. As Wu Chenghei grew older, he became more and more eager to become the crown prince, and others only paid attention to Princess Taiping's arrogant and lascivious life, but he paid attention to the strict discipline of the guards in the princess's mansion, and through the contradiction between Taiping and Huaiyi, as well as the rescue of Luo Liancheng, he found the status of Taiping in Emperor Wu's heart, and he believed that His Majesty was very likely to pass on the throne to Taiping.

So he moved the idea of assassinating Taiping, once this idea was born, it could not be suppressed and grew wildly, so he took the opportunity of Taiping's family to travel and carry out the assassination. He colluded with Lai Junchen, took advantage of Lai Junchen's earlier plan to frame You Tingshi and arranged to enter Youfu, and threatened the life of the servant girl's whole family to assassinate Taiping. Coming to Junchen to attack the Yan family again, and the two forces at the same time will definitely kill three birds with one stone.

Emperor Wu knew Wu Chenghe's thoughts, and she knew that this nephew wanted to be the crown prince. Do everything to be the crown prince. There was some hesitation before, but now that he has taken back his son, of course this nephew who murdered his daughter can't stay.

She gave a glass of wine and asked Zhang Changzong to send it to Wu Chenghe, giving Wu Chenghe, who was panicking all day long, a result.

Later, he preserved his reputation, claimed that he died of illness, and was still buried as the king of Wei, and did not harm his descendants.

Shen Mengxi was not particularly happy, Qingfeng said that Wu Chengsi was dead, she just paused for two seconds, and then hummed, even if she knew, she asked He Yu to prepare for the funeral.

In those years when the martial arts family was powerful, as a princess, although she knew the enemy, she still had to endure it, and when the evidence was insufficient, she couldn't startle the snake, and she was powerless to fight against the two of them at the same time.

Two months later, Emperor Wu made Li Xian the crown prince. and reused a group of officials recommended by Di Renjie. Her consideration is that the Wu brothers have a deep grudge with Li Dan over the years, but there is no grudge against Li Xian, who is far away in Fangzhou, Li Xian will not take revenge on the Wu family when he ascends the throne in the future, and even married one of Li Xian's daughters to Wu Sansi's son.

This was the precursor of Li Tang's return to power, and for a time the people's hearts were stable and the country was stable.

The Wu clan, under the leadership of Wu Sansi, has ceased to rein in its edge, and is very aware of current affairs.

In the summer of this year, the rain was abundant, and the rivers in Beijing were overflowing, Xue Chongyin was appointed by Emperor Wu to cooperate with the officials of the six ministries to manage the river, he was very excited, and said to Shen Mengxi that he would cherish this opportunity, and he would work hard in the future, and he would support this family in the future, and he would not allow assassinations to occur again.

Since last year, Shen Mengxi has let Yin'er get in touch with the security management, and he has also asked him about major family affairs, and Yin'er can be said to be a competent eldest son. It's just that he is only seventeen years old, and his marriage has to be put on the agenda.

Yin'er's personality is a bit like Xue Shao, although there are some engravings, but he is very gentle, and he never messes around, and he never provokes the maids in the family.

Shen Mengxi wants to find someone who is satisfactory to him, at least he likes it, otherwise how will he live the long days ahead?

Who knew that before he had time to consider Yin'er's marriage, Di Renjie came to marry Yu'er for his grandson.

On this day, Di Fu handed over the post, Shen Mengxi thought that it would be Di Guangyuan who came to the door, but he didn't expect that it was Di Renjie who welcomed him in.

The two sat side by side, Shen Mengxi looked at Di Renjie, who was a little lacking in energy, "Di Gong is in good health?" ”

"Okay. His Royal Highness Xie cares! Di Renjie was still expressionless, this poker face, I don't know how Emperor Wu saw it in his eyes.

"For the sake of health, Di Gong should not be worried, His Majesty relies on Di Gong a lot, so it is better to cherish his body more."

"Yes."

Di Renjie took a sip of tea, "This is Buddha tea?" ”

"No, it's just that Bengong can't get used to the tea soup with eighteen kinds of condiments, but it's just a matter of adding a few tea leaves. I wonder what Di Gong thinks? ”

"Very good."

"Qingfeng, go and wrap the rest of the tea, and let Di Gong take it home later."

"Your Highness!" Di Renjie nodded, "This time, the old minister is here to ask to marry the eldest lady of the princess's mansion for the grandson of the family." Di Renjie got straight to the point.

Shen Mengxi was a little surprised, there were also people who said goodbye to Yu'er before, but there was no gate valve family and important ministers in the court who were willing to marry the princess's mansion, the princess had a bad reputation, and she was also tired of her daughter, which Shen Mengxi did not estimate before taking Yan Twelve in.

Seeing that Shen Mengxi did not respond, Di Renjie continued: "Di Jingen, the fourth grandson of Lao Chen, is nineteen years old this year, and is the son of the dog Guangyuan. ”

"Di Gong, don't you know the notoriety of my princess?" Shen Mengxi still asked.

"The old minister knows. But Lao Chen has always looked at people with his heart, not just with his eyes and ears. Please don't be suspicious of the princess, the old minister is by no means to repay the favor to ask for marriage, in fact, it is really Jing'en that the child went to the White Horse Temple on the way, saw the Yuhua county lord riding by, and admired it, and then saw the county lord when he feasted His Majesty in Qingyun Villa, which begged me to be a grandfather, and I asked to marry when I was old. The old minister has always been dissatisfied with the style of the princess of the Li family's Wu family, but only for His Royal Highness is different, the old minister knows the helplessness of the princess after being extravagant and arrogant, and Guangyuan is also sincere to marry His Royal Highness, I don't know if the old minister can climb high? ”

Di Renjie said it extremely politely, thinking that he loved that grandson very much, and was willing to bend his waist for him and ask for his wife.
