Chapter 64: Grace and Righteousness
Shen Ruowen couldn't remember how many people she stopped or begged, but all she heard in her whirling eyes was rejection, and no one was willing to help her.
Gradually, all the ministers avoided her, and Shen Ruowen sat down in the snow in despair, and her heart gradually cooled down like this ice and snow.
"Miss, let's go back, let's go back and figure it out."
Qingzhu hugged her beside her, this person froze in the snow for a while, but Shen Ruowen didn't seem to know the cold, her red hand tightly held the pendant that was missing a corner, and tears fell down big drops, at this moment she really felt fear.
"Brother, brother......"
Someone came running in the distance, it was the crown prince Fu Yuming, and Shen Ruowen was anxious and distressed when she saw this: "Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Don't be stupid, go back first, come, get up. ”
Hearing his voice, Shen Ruowen seemed to suddenly grasp the last straw and grabbed his arm.
"Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince! Please save my second brother, is it okay for you to go to the border to negotiate peace, Baixia may not really want hostages, you go to speak on behalf of the Shen family, you are willing to redeem people at any cost, I will lead the general's mansion to protect you behind your back, or you can let a reliable person be an envoy, King Baixia is murderous, and he can't stand the anger! ”
Fu Yuming was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Ruowen who was full of hope in his eyes, at this moment his heart seemed to be tightly held by something, but just now in the main hall, his father deliberately left him to the end, and the words he said were still in his ears.
"Shen Ruoming can't return to the court, the general's mansion can only be tightly controlled by the royal family, we have been enduring for so many years in order to wait for a day, we can't fall short at the last moment, if you still want this crown prince, and you still want Shen Ruowen to marry you, don't be soft-hearted, just a woman, the person who gets her, the heart will naturally obey....."
Shen Ruowen's plea pulled him back to reality again, and Fu Yuming settled down and tried his best to look normal.
"Sister-in-law, this matter is not as simple as you think, obedient, you go back first, we will think about it in the long run, there is always a perfect plan...."
Shen Ruowen shook her head and interrupted him: "Where is there any foolproof strategy!" Do you still have to pretend to me? You and I know what's going on! Don't you just want the General's Mansion, everything can be given to you, I only need the second brother! I just want him to come back alive! ”
As long as the emperor is willing to save the second brother back, even if the Shen family is reduced to a commoner from now on, and there is no general's mansion, she will not hesitate.
"Didn't you tell me to try to trust you? It's not that we will be husband and wife in the future, let me try to rely on you," Shen Ruowen looked into his eyes and eagerly expressed her intentions, "I'm already trying, I will do it, as long as you help me this time, I will treat you well in the future, be your crown princess, you say a word for the second brother in the court, okay?" ”
This kind of Shen Ruowen is the first time Fu Yuming has seen her, but she can't really rely on her current request.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
Fu Yuming didn't dare to look at her, his heart was also very painful, and he had a strong premonition that if he let go of Shen Ruowen's hand this time, he might never have a chance to hold it again.
But he is the crown prince, the prince of the Xuan Dynasty! It is impossible for him to be a hostage, and it is impossible for him not to oppose his father for the sake of royal power.
"I'm sorry, I can't."
He still spoke, and the last hope in Shen Ruowen's eyes disappeared, and the hand that was holding his arm tightly slowly released and slid down.
Fu Yuming panicked, and hurriedly wanted to grab Shen Ruowen, but she avoided her indifferently.
"Sister-in-law, I will compensate you in the future, I will compensate the Shen family, we forgot about this matter, no matter what you want in the future, I will satisfy you!"
His anxious look only made Shen Ruowen look more indifferent, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, tried to make herself look decent, and then saluted Fu Yuming.
Then, he raised his right hand, pulled out the jade bracelet that symbolized the identity of the concubine, and handed it over.
"No need, you and I will break off from now on."
Her voice was calm, terrifyingly calm.
Fu Yuming was holding the jade bracelet that had just been taken off Shen Ruowen's wrist, and it seemed that she still had her body temperature, but in her sight, only her resolute back remained.
Fu Yuming has seen Shen Ruowen's back countless times, this girl, he has liked it for many, many years, from the first time he fell in love at first sight at the triumphant palace banquet of the Shen family, or the heartbeat of watching her ride a horse in the military camp, or countless times to spy on her heroic posture riding a horse on the long street.
But this time, looking at her back, it has never felt so far away.
Shen Ruowen kept walking like this, and she didn't even care when Qingzhu lost it, she just wandered aimlessly in the snow like this, at this time she really felt that she was a lonely ghost, without her parents and relatives, and now she couldn't even keep the last second brother.
For so many years, she has supported the Shen family alone, just for a breath, and she doesn't want her parents and elder brother's hard work to be in vain, she tries to make herself look stronger, because she knows that there is no one behind her who can rely on.
But now, there is obviously news of the second brother, but she can't do anything, the Shen family whip is beyond her reach, the Northwest Army has long been taken away by others, and now she can't do it even if she directs a Northwest Army to put pressure on Baixia.
She hated it so much, she hated these people who wanted to kill the Shen family, and she hated her own incompetence.
"The Shen family is full of loyalty, but in exchange for such an end, the emperor is ruthless, the officials are indifferent, and it is not worth it!"
Suddenly, there was such an angry roar from the crowd, and all of a sudden, it was like a boulder thrown into the lake, and the people who came and went turned back one after another to see who dared to be so rebellious, not only to say Your Majesty, but also to scold the hundred officials.
But when everyone saw this woman clearly, they all looked like they were all clear, isn't this Shen Ruowen, the eldest lady of the Shen family, this is so ridiculous that she spoke wildly at the corner of the street.
"In the first year of Ling Xuan, there was a rebellion in the north, and the general Shen Heng led the army to fight fiercely for several months, running out of ammunition and food, living on turf, and protecting the people of the ten cities on the border!"
"For three years, the abolished prince forced the palace, and the general Qianliqin King finally retained the throne of the Fu family by escaping death!"
"For ten years, Baixia was in turmoil, the generals of the DPRK and China were cowardly, it was the Shen family who defeated the enemy country in danger, and the family was on the border for seven years!"
This was read out aloud by her on the street, and some elderly people also nodded, these things are indeed the Shen family's great contributions to the Xuan Dynasty.
It's just that Shen Ruowen's tone is accusing the court and the emperor, which of these words is not to be punished, but she has no intention of stopping.
And the more he read it, the faster he spoke, he didn't hide the weakness of the court's officials, the hypocrisy of benevolence and righteousness, and even the unkindness of the royal family, this was a posture that wanted to work against the court, that is, they were afraid of being killed when they listened.
What stimulated Shen Ruowen? Got your brain out of order?
