Shen Yunlan's return alive brought great hope to the Shen family. It's a blessing in misfortune.

But his injuries were too serious, and it had been half a month since he came back, and he was still unconscious.

Mrs. Shen was in a hurry, she had to send Mama Zhou to see countless times every day, but every time she couldn't hear the news of her grandson's awakening, after Dr. Ge came back, he changed the prescription for Mrs. Shen, plus the return of the eldest grandson, Mrs. Shen's condition quickly improved, and now people can sit up, speak neatly, and eat half a bowl of porridge at each meal, which is a good performance.

The top priority at the moment is that Zhu Xiuyan's body can no longer be parked, and must be buried.

The tomb has already been selected, and the mourning hall has been arranged, but the day for burial has not been set for a long time, Shen Nianzhen stubbornly felt that he should at least wait for the eldest brother to wake up and take a look at his sister-in-law in person, and then bury.

But for a while, Shen Yunlan couldn't wake up, and Doctor Ge even said that whether Shen Yunlan could wake up or not depended on the will of God.

His biggest certainty was that half a year later, Shen Yunlan would come to his senses.

In this way, this last side is not visible.

Shen Nian was very sad in her heart, she couldn't imagine how sad her heart would be if her eldest brother woke up one day and learned that her sister-in-law had already died and been buried for a long time.

But there was no way, I couldn't wait any longer.

The funeral was lively all day.

In the evening, when he was finally free, Shen Nianzhen suddenly took off the white veil on his head, put on a black cloak on the outside of his filial piety clothes, and hurriedly returned to the second prince's mansion with Rong Chen, and brought Zhaohua out.

Now, the emperor has found out the truth, Shen Yunlan and his wife were killed by Princess Zhaohua, he took away Zhaohua's princess title, demoted her to a concubine, and even the imprisoned queen was reprimanded by the emperor.

In the past half a month, Shen Nianzhen has been staying in the Shen Mansion, but he sent Beiyang and others to greet Zhaohua with all the torture of the prisoners in the eighteen ways of the Great Zhou, and he didn't make much of a dead hand, ensuring that Zhaohua was always alive, but life was worse than death.

Now, Shen Nianzhen has returned to the Shen family and wants to take Princess Zhaohua to see her off for the last time.

When Zhaohua, who had been escorted out of the dungeon, appeared in front of Shen Nianzhen, she almost didn't recognize her.

In the past, Zhaohua was flamboyant, bright, wanton, proud, even if she was vicious, but she also had a side that she could be liked, but now Zhaohua, after half a month of torture, has already become inhuman, ghost or ghost, where is there still a little shadow of the past?

Shen Nianzhen ...... I'm going to kill you......"

Zhaohua, who had been tortured and was not in human form, was shocked when he saw Shen Nianzhen, and couldn't help but scold angrily.

But he only shouted a few words, and he received a heavy whip on his body.

If it weren't for the guards on both sides, she would have fallen to the ground long ago.

But Rao is like this, she still stares at Shen Nianzhen with those eyes, full of resentment.

"Kill me......"

"Don't worry, I'll grant you that soon." Shen Nianzhen slowly squatted down, glanced at her, and then got up and walked out.

But at this moment, Zhaohua suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "...... You wear a filial piety suit, you are your eldest brother...... Is he dead? ”

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she couldn't believe the bad news.

Shen Nianzhen stopped suddenly.

She turned around and looked at Zhaohua with a sneer: "Then you are going to be disappointed, my eldest brother is not dead, he is alive and well!" My filial piety clothes are for my sister-in-law. No matter when and where, she will always be my sister-in-law, and you will soon go to hell to accept a thousand cuts, and you will never be able to be a human being! ”

"Huh...... That slut...... It's finally ...... dead."

Princess Zhaohua let out a sad and joyful murmur, and her blood-stained face actually showed a hint of pride.

When Shen Nianzhen saw her like this, he really wanted to stab her to death immediately! She really didn't want to see Princess Zhaohua again for a moment!

But no, she can't kill her now, she has to take her to see the person she deserves, and only after apologizing for her sins, can she die!

"Take it away!"

With an order, Shen Nianzhen didn't bother to look back at her anymore, turned around and walked out in great strides.

Beiyang and the others escorted Princess Zhaohua and followed behind.

The group left the palace, got into the carriage from the back door, and went straight to the palace of Earl Wenchang.

Inside the carriage, Shen Nianzhen's face sank like water, looking ahead without saying a word, Rong Chen sat beside her, quietly holding her hand, invisibly giving her strength.

Shen Nianzhen gave him a smile back.

But at this moment, the carriage jolted and stopped suddenly!

Outside the carriage, Beiyang's voice sounded in a deep voice: 'Lord Wang! Someone attacked! You protect the princess! “

Rong Chen said a good word, tightly protected Shen Nianzhen in his arms, and did not get out of the carriage to check.

Seeing Shen Nianzhen looking at him worriedly, he immediately said softly: "Don't worry, there will be no masters in this Shangjing, just a thief, Beiyang can deal with it." “：

As it turned out, he wasn't talking big.

After a cup of tea, the earth-shattering shouts outside suddenly quieted down, and the sound of still leaves falling on the ground could be heard.

Beiyang reported in a low voice outside the carriage: "Lord, princess, the assassins who attacked have all been hanged, leaving a living mouth, an acquaintance. ”

Acquaintance? Who will it be?

Shen Nianzhen was very surprised, and immediately stretched out his hand to open the carriage curtain, and saw Beiyang and other guards holding a man in black with swords, the mask on the man's face had been taken off, but it was the fish intestines beside the eldest prince.

"It's you!" When Shen Nianzhen saw him, he immediately sneered.

When Yu Gu saw Shen Nianzhen, he also let out a sneer, and his eyes were full of unwillingness: "The second princess is really a good means!" actually intercepted and killed the princess of the dynasty on the edge of Shangjing! Poor Your Majesty has been deceived by you and allowed you, the murderer, to go unpunished! I have been watching you on the orders of the Great Prince, and I know that Princess Zhaohua is in your carriage! If you know each other, let them go! Go and ask for guilt in front of Your Majesty! Otherwise, when our Highness comes in person, it won't end well! ”

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to come tonight." When Rong Chen heard this, he smiled faintly: "Father and the emperor personally left him to live in the palace, don't you know?" “

Beiyang lowered his voice and asked, "Lord Wang, what should you do with this person?" ”

Rong Chen originally wanted to say that he would be escorted back first, Yu Gu had always followed the eldest prince, and he must know a lot of his unknown secrets, as long as he interrogated him well, he would be able to ask many answers that they wanted to know.

But Shen Nianzhen said without hesitation: "Kill him!" ”

Her hatred for the fish intestine has continued from the beginning to the present, and she has never forgotten it, but the fish intestine has a big life, and she has always followed the side of the eldest prince, even if Shen Nianzhen wants to deal with him, she has no chance, she finally caught him tonight, and she will not let it go!

Rong Chen turned his head to look at her, and then nodded at Beiyang: "Listen to the princess." ”

During this time, he did not look at the fish intestines again.

"Yes, lord." Beiyang was very surprised when he heard this, but he still nodded, stepped forward and pulled out the sword on his body, and stabbed at the fish intestine without hesitation.

The fish intestine immediately shouted: "Why don't you come according to common sense!" Shouldn't you lock me up and interrogate me at this time? ”

"If I interrogate, will you say?" Shen Nianzhen sneered when he heard this: "Since this is the case, it is better to kill it directly!" Save time and waste! ”

Hearing this, Yu Gu's face turned red, and his eyes kicked Shen Nianzhen with hatred, obviously hating her.

Rong Chen didn't like the gaze he looked at Shen Nianzhen very much, and immediately made a lightning move, took off the sword of the guard next to him, and threw it at the fish intestine.

With a snort, the sword passed through the fish's intestine chest.

The fish intestine spit out a mouthful of blood and looked at Rong Chen in disbelief.

However, he was speechless, and could only stare at the person in front of him with stunned eyes, and after a while, the whole person fell to the ground with a bang.

He took his last breath, but his eyes were still fixed on the front.

Rong Chen covered Shen Nianzhen's eyes and said, "Don't look at it." ”

Shen Nianzhen pushed his hand away, making sure that the fish intestines were really dead, so he returned to the carriage with Rong Chen with confidence.

The group continued on their journey as if nothing had just happened.

After two more streets, the Earl of Wenchang will arrive.

Rong Chen had already sent someone to send news to the Zhu family in advance, so when they arrived at the back door, the door was open, and there was a dim light coming out of it, and the two gatekeepers heard the sound of the carriage and immediately ran out to check.

When they saw that it was Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, they breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led them into the mansion.

Beiyang and the others were behind, holding Princess Zhaohua, who was covered in blood and had been dumbfounded, she was unkempt and covered in wounds, and she could smell a foul smell on her body from a distance, so the two guards didn't recognize her, they were far away.

The person who met them was Uncle Zhu, the head of the Zhu family, who sat at the top with a gloomy face, and didn't even let his subordinates serve a cup of tea to Shen Nianzhen and others, and looked at them coldly and said: "Today, we Xiuyan was buried, and the prince and the princess came to visit at night, what's the matter, I'm afraid that our family will hold a grudge, so the threat is coming?" Don't worry, our Zhu family has suffered a dumb loss in this matter, and we can't do anything, and we won't hate your Shen family much, but from now on, the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, and after tonight, don't meet again! ”

"Uncle Zhu."

Rong Chen slowly spoke, looked at him and said, "As we all know, it was Princess Zhaohua who sent someone to assassinate Shen Yunlan and Ling Yan, do you want to take revenge?" ”

"Yes, it's the princess, that's from the heavenly family, how can we ......" Uncle Zhu was halfway through his speech, and suddenly he was stunned: "What? You say revenge? ”

Rong Chen beckoned outside, and soon, Beiyang and they escorted Princess Zhaohua up.

Uncle Zhu's eyes widened, looking at this unkempt woman, and he was a little puzzled: "Second prince, she is ......"

"Uncle, please call Madame too." Rong Chen said lightly: "After all, this matter has something to do with Zhu Xiuyan, and I think she should also be present." ”

"Okay." Uncle Zhu immediately agreed: "Xiuyan has had an accident these days, my wife washes her face with tears every day, she can't be sad herself, the whole person is very sick, she is much haggard with the naked eye, and people can't be resurrected after death, if she can avenge Xiuyan today, if she is here, she will definitely be happy." ”

After saying that, he sent the servant to invite the lady, and instructed not to alarm too many people, especially the second and third rooms, and the old lady.

"Don't worry, uncle, the slave knows." The little guy agreed, and then retreated.

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, Uncle Zhu asked, "How is Shen Yunlan's situation now?" ”

"My eldest brother is still unconscious." Shen Nianzhen said: "My master said that it will take about half a year before he can come to his senses. ”

How severe is the injury, and it takes half a year to wake up from a coma?

It can be seen that Shen Yunlan was seriously injured at that time, and he was afraid that he would die just a little bit.

But it's better than dying! There's at least a glimmer of hope, isn't it?

"It's much better than our family Xiuyan." Uncle Zhu's eyes were sour.

Shen Nian really wanted to comfort him, but when he heard the sound of footsteps outside, Mrs. Zhu walked in from outside with the support of two personal grandmothers, followed by Zhu Xiuyan's sister, Zhu Wanyan.

When she saw Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on her pale face.

"The master called me here to see them? I really don't know, what's visible! After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Uncle Zhu hurriedly opened his mouth to stop: "Madam! Please wait! Don't you want to avenge your daughter?

Mrs. Zhu immediately stopped.

She turned around and glanced at Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, her eyes were extremely sharp: "Of course I want to avenge my daughter!" Why, the two of them are willing to die to apologize? “

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

Mrs. Zhu's mouth! It's really unforgiving! Even if she came with grief and apology, she was a little angry at this moment.

Rong Chen's face on the side had also changed, but he didn't have a seizure.

Uncle Zhu glared at his wife speechlessly, frowned, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Our daughter was not harmed by the second prince and the second princess! ”

"It's not them, it's their family!" Mrs. Zhu was stubborn: "And I didn't want to marry Xiuyan to the Shen family at the beginning!" It was the persuasion of the second princess, and she promised me that she would be able to take care of Xiuyan for the rest of her life and not let anyone hurt her, so I married my daughter! Now I'm not going to settle accounts with her, I'm looking for whom! ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I promised." When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhu, and said with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect my sister-in-law well, and it was my fault that she died at a young age!" ”

As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face!

As a result, before the slap landed on his face, he was grabbed by Rong Chen.

Rong Chen slowly knelt down in front of her, raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Zhu and Uncle Zhu in front of him, and slowly spoke: "I'll come." “

After speaking, he slapped himself in the face, and a bright red five-finger print immediately appeared on his white face.

This scene stunned Mrs. Zhu and Uncle Zhu, and Uncle Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Lord Wang! I can't help it! What's more, if you hadn't gone down to Jiangnan in person, my daughter's body might have been left in Jiangnan and couldn't come back. ”

Mrs. Zhu on the side also thought of this layer, and couldn't help showing a tangled look on her face.

She didn't hate Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, but she didn't want to see them either.

"Master Hou, didn't you say that you have caught the murderer of my daughter and want to take revenge?" Uncle Zhu asked.

"That's her." Rong Chen pointed at the unkempt Zhaohua.

"She?" A room full of people let out an exclamation.

Beiyang stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull away the hair covering Princess Zhaohua's face, revealing his face, and everyone recognized it now.

But everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

Uncle Zhu was especially so, he looked at Rong Chen tremblingly, and stammered: "Wang, Wangye, you sent someone to catch her?" ”

"Not bad!" Rong Chen glanced at Shen Nianzhen, and simply took this matter on himself, and the incident in the east window in the future had nothing to do with her.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhu gasped again, and then turned his head to look at his wife.

But seeing that this lady, who was still fierce and ruthless just now, was also stunned at this moment.

They stared blankly at Princess Zhaohua and her injuries.

"...... she hurts," Mrs. Zhu asked hesitantly.

Shen Nianzhen immediately replied: "I ordered someone to beat me!" ”

I saw the injuries on Princess Zhaohua's body, large and small, deep and shallow, these are definitely not something that can be made in a day.

It can be seen that she has been tortured for a long time.

Shen Nianzhen looked at Princess Zhaohua's eyes with hatred: "How she tortured my sister-in-law in the first place, I will pay it back!" ”

When the Zhu family heard this, they immediately remembered the deep and desperate grief when they saw Zhu Xiuyan's body, which barely had a piece of good meat, and Mrs. Zhu suddenly rushed forward and slapped Princess Zhaohua's face more than a dozen times in a row.

She couldn't stop until her own hands hurt, and she was finally stopped by her daughter and husband.

Mrs. Zhu looked at Shen Nianzhen, and there was deep hatred in her eyes: "The second princess brought her, is it at the disposal of our Zhu family?" ”

Shen Nianzhen replied: "Yes! It's just that she has to die tonight, and that can't be changed. ”

"Of course she has to die! Must die! Mrs. Zhu immediately said: "If you don't die, how can my daughter be at peace underground?" Your Shen family's punishment is over, now, it's the turn of the Zhu family! As he spoke, he gave a look to the grandmother beside him.

The grandmother immediately turned and retreated.

Uncle Zhu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Wait a minute! Madam! She's a princess after all! Are we really going to kill? ”
