Chapter Eighty-Three: The Former Prince's Orphan
Shen Enlai didn't expect to leave the vault because of such reasons.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you.
She was brought into the East Palace in this way. Shen Enlai imagined countless possible reasons, but still found nothing.
The prince is already a little scary at the moment, and he can't see the elegance he once had, but the temperament around him still gives people a sense of peace. Shen Enlai was even more surprised in his heart, he estimated that he didn't know how to heal......
"Miss Shen, ahem-"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......" Shen Enlai stepped forward quickly and saluted him.
"Xiaoxun, help me up." Wen Xingjian called Wen Xingxing beside him. Wen Xingxing stepped forward and helped Wen Xingjian to sit up, but he couldn't get out of bed and stand.
"Ahem-" The series seemed to exhaust Wen Xingjian's strength, and he coughed for a while before he gasped.
"Miss Shen, I'm not feeling well these days, so I can only sit and talk to you like this."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said seriously. You say. β
"You can see my body, and I know it myself. I'm afraid I can't wait for the masters of the Medicine King Valley......"
"Brother Huangβ" Wen Xingxing interrupted Wen Xingjian's words, his voice choked.
Wen Xingjian gently patted Wen Xingxing's hand attached to his shoulder and smiled at him.
"Xiaoxun, don't be like this. Birth, old age, sickness and death, the normality of life. After saying this, he turned his head to look at Shen Enlai, "Miss Shen, if I am really unlucky, now that only Xiaoxun is of the right age among the princes, I am afraid that my father will pass the throne to him." The former prince's orphan, I don't know if Miss Shen has heard of it? β
"Hmm." Shen Enlai nodded. Since the last time Nan Huaijin and Shen Enlai discussed this matter, rumors have begun to appear in the court and among the people. Shen Enlai knew this kind of trick very well, it was such a trick she used to deal with Gu Chusheng in the first place. This also shows that the person behind him can't wait, maybe it's His Royal Highness the Prince's illness...... Or something else......
"My father was already ...... when he got the throne The most important thing is that Xiaoxun does not have the talent to govern the world. Therefore, I specially invited Miss Shen into the palace today, and I really wanted to ask for something. β
Shen Enlai frowned, she was a wanted person, how could she help Wen Xingjian? But she still said to Wen Xingjian: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it doesn't matter, as long as I can do my best, I will do my best to complete it." β
"Xiaoxun, bring me the holy decree that I have asked for on the table." Wen Xingjian's words suddenly changed, and Shen Enlai was slightly puzzled, but he still waited patiently.
Wen Xingxing handed the bright yellow holy decree to Wen Xingjian's hand, Wen Xingjian held it, and stretched it out towards Shen Enlai in an instant, Shen Enlai immediately froze, this is?
"Miss Shen, this is the holy decree I ask for you, to save your life, and you don't have to hide like this in the future. Lord Shen...... After all, he did something wrong, the third brother, although he has a violent temperament, but for his father, his love for the emperor is no less than anyone else...... I...... You have not participated in the rebellion, but you have been protected by the Shen family over the years, and you will be implicated in this matter. I can only save your life. But the death penalty is not avoided, and the living sin is not escaped. Your Majesty, you will be removed from Taixue and will never be allowed to enter Taixue. β
As soon as Wen Xingjian's words came out, Shen Enlai knew very well that Emperor Wen Wen left her alive, but at the same time, he also cut off her career. However, compared to life, what is the meaning of a career?
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince, for saving my life." Shen Enlai knew that if it weren't for Wen Xingjian dragging her sick body around, how could her life be saved, and the current situation was already the best result.
"However, I still haven't been able to persuade my father and the emperor that Miss Xu and the matter of pro-Korea ......," Wen Xingjian sighed.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done his best...... There are some things that cannot be changed by human beings...... I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants me to do? "saved Shen Enlai's life, and to a certain extent, Shen Enlai owed this favor, so what should be repaid has to be repaid.
"The orphan of the former prince appeared, and my country of Lu is only afraid of turmoil again. I have dealt with Miss Shen for a long time, and there are many talents in Class 6. Don't look at Xiaoxun who is cold on weekdays, but in fact, I still have a little awe of you in my heart. Since you are the head of his class, I expect you to take care of him for me. β
"Class 6 is one, and I will never leave any of my companions behind." Shen Enlai agreed. But I was still a little shocked in my heart, Wen Xingjian's words, could it be that she wanted her to be the emperor's teacher?
"Miss Shen is smart, I'm afraid she has already guessed my purpose. I'm not going around the bush either. I hope that Miss Shen and your friends can help Xiao Xun decide whether the orphan of the former prince is a better candidate for the throne, and if so, Xiao Xun will give up the throne and return to the person who should have belonged. If not, then for the sake of the people of the world. Xiaoxun can only sit up. At that time, I hope that Miss Shen will bother a lot, you will not be able to enter the office, I am afraid that you can only serve as a behind-the-scenes assistant to the news. β
Nan Huaijin, Xu Xi, and even Zheng Yuanshuang were all in the courtyard, and they naturally listened to Wen Xingjian's words just now. Everyone was silent, but listened in silence. Shen Enlai's friends, Class 6 students, naturally include Nan Huaijin.
Nan Huaijin lowered his eyes, the orphan of the former prince will be born one day, and on that day, Shen Enlai will know the true identity of that person and what kind of scene it should be.
Zheng Yuanshuang moved at this moment, she raised her eyes and looked at the weak body on the couch in the room through the window. Then he set off and walked out. Wen Xingjian, who was in the courtyard, looked at her back, and the words that had originally told Wen Xingxing choked in her throat, and she came back to her senses after a while. But he lowered his eyes, his face was full of loneliness, and he didn't speak again for a long time.
Zheng Yuanshuang didn't go for long, but just like when she left, she was still wearing a princess robe alone when she came. It's just that the expression on his face is somewhat cold.
The moment Wen Xingjian saw her, Shen Enlai saw the light in his eyes, but then the light completely dissipated. Shen Enlai suddenly guessed that he might be waiting for someone. And Zheng Yuanshuang failed to bring people back.
Fan Ruoci...... Shen Enlai's mind brought up that beautiful face. Wen Xingjian saved her once a few years ago, and naturally saved her a second time before, and the cost is also very clear in the rebellion case of the third prince. But this time, Fan Ruoci's whereabouts were completely exposed, and she could only survive in the capital as the prince's lover for the rest of her life. No one dared to touch her, but no one dared to approach her.
Shen Enlai knew that she was arranged in the suburbs of the capital, and the people sent by Emperor Wen Wen to take care of her were not so much to take care of her, but to be imprisoned and warned, and Fan Ruoci was very important to the prince. And the fall of the three princes, the crown prince is not only the only candidate for the prince for His Majesty, but also the biggest hidden danger that has to be guarded against.
Zheng Yuanshuang failed to bring back Fan Ruoci, I don't know if it was His Majesty's order or Fan Ruoci's own meaning. Shen Enlai thought of the cold person, but his heart couldn't help but lean towards the second possibility. Sometimes, the more affectionate you are, the more ruthless you are.
ββ
The prince waited for Qi Feng, but he took his last breath. There is no resurrection in this world, so there is no one to save it. Qi Feng took the fluttering paper handed to him by Wen Xingjian, and the book left, and the three words jumped into his eyes.
Qi Feng suddenly knew that Wen Xingjian was holding on to his last breath, not to survive, but to seek a way for Zheng Yuanshuang. That piece of paper made Qi Feng's hands hurt, like a thousand catties. For the first time, he knew that sometimes, a piece of paper can be distressing.
"Snow is coming." Shen Enlai looked at the Jingcheng Road, where it had snowed lightly all night.
Everywhere the eye can see, the mountains in the distance seem to be covered with a layer of silver-white hair, and the green wood sky has become drooping and old; The nearby houses were also covered with a layer of bright white, and under the shade, the weight seemed to press the house lower, away from the sky; Because of the cold weather, few people have gone out on the streets, and it is desolate.
Emperor Wen Wen reigned for 21 years, and the crown prince Wen Xingjian fell seriously ill and died. The whole country mourns.
In the same year, Hancheng and Los Angeles raised troops to revolt. The former prince's orphan has reappeared. At the time of internal troubles, South Korea harassed many times on the border, attacked at night at Chen'an Bridge, and in Chenjia Village, on the border of Tulu State, there was no one alive in 208 people in a village.
Lu and Han, officially started the war. Zhao took advantage of the chaos to harass the border many times, and Lu was worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and the wind and rain had come.
