Chapter 521: The Aftermath Is Now
"How do you know I'm not ambitious? Why do you think that my ideal in life is to be a rice worm that eats and waits for death? Is it only you who can guide the country? ”
When Empress Dowager Shen took Shi Nu to the next door to watch Jia Liu count the luggage that Nan Chen was about to take to Beidi, Nan Chen grabbed Shen Shen and questioned her aggressively.
Shen Shen easily shook off her hand: "Just because you have been in Xiaopenglai for eight years, and the books you have read have not been more than three months since me, I know that you have no ambitions at all." In that case, don't hold it up. After all, it's too hard to live someone else's life. It's better to be yourself, it's most comfortable. ”
Nan Chen stared at her directly, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "You have been dominating the world for eight years, do you have the opportunity to study?!" ”
"Yes! How not? Wherever I went, there was a study next to the bedroom. What's more, Youxin will read to me every day, which is an old practice. Shen Shen really couldn't hold it back, and glanced at her with a slight mockery.
Nan Chen's face sank downcast: "So, there are already so many people who know about you and me." ”
"None of this has anything to do with your life later on." Shen Shen, who was about to leave, immediately turned around, returned to her eyes and stood still, leaned over slightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to die, I'm afraid you don't want either." So, don't always threaten me with the same fate. After all, before I die, there is definitely a way to destroy the nine clans of the Yu family! ”
Nan Chen gritted his teeth and avoided her gaze.
"In the future, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge. You and I won't have anything to do with each other anymore. Shen Shen continued in a low voice.
Nan Chen said sullenly: "I originally thought that I would go to Bei Dineng to open the sky and open the sky, but you specially came to remind me that I entered from one cage to another. ”
"There's no one who doesn't live in a cage, especially a woman." Shen Shen paused, subconsciously looked at the side hall, and sighed softly, "Queen Mother, isn't it?" Queen, isn't she? Or is it not Mrs. Chen?
"The difference is how big the cage is, what it is made of, and when it will be able to open the air. If you're here, you'll always be at the mercy of others. But when you go to Beidi, you have the final say on the above issues. ”
Nan Chen finally pondered these words and quieted down.
Shen Shen looked at her side face, and his mood was even more complicated.
That's the face that I have seen for a total of twenty-six years with eighteen plus eight, and that was originally my own face. But now......
Perhaps, the reason why I softened my heart and allowed the soul of Concubine Yu Yan from the previous life to survive is this body, right?
At least, the reason why Empress Dowager Shen didn't kill her directly must be this.
Shen Shen quietly went to the next door.
“…… It is impossible not to go with no one. She's not a troublemaker. What's more, there are so many careerists in the world, it's hard to say whether anyone will really be able to separate her from Peony's identity. When the time comes, what to do? ”
Empress Dowager Shen was rejecting Jia Liu's proposal.
"You can't go. Others go, for the sake of leaving her hometown, she can probably tolerate it. You're the only one. Not only do you know her true identity, but you have also imprisoned and restrained her for the mourning family, and she will hate you to the bone.
"In the past, the first emperor and the mourning family chose the people who were sincerely selected, except for Youxin and Zhao Zhen, you are the only one alive. If you're gone, Lizhu will be sad and crazy. You go to the court to take a turn, go back to the county lord's mansion to open the mansion, and you go over quietly. ”
Shen Shen stood still.
Jia Liu's voice was low: "However, others are afraid that they can't look at her ......"
"There's nothing to look down on. The mourning family lied to her just now. The people who went to Beidi this time, regardless of the mourning family, let the emperor pick it. The emperor has no affection for her. As long as she makes a fuss, the emperor's people will not show mercy. So, you stay with peace of mind. ”
Empress Dowager Shen was already a little impatient when she said this, "Shi Nu take a good look, is there anything else from the past." If so, keep them. If someone is a new bride, if you can not use the old one, don't give her the old one. ”
Jia Liu didn't say anything more.
Only the slight nagging voice of Shiinu came out of the room intermittently.
Shen Shen stood outside the door, silent for a long time, but still didn't go in after all, walked out of the main hall, and stood outside.
Watching her pacing out, Mei Xin, the worried palace maid, walked over with a smile: "I've seen the Lord of Lizhu." ”
"Aunt Mei is good." Shen Shen smiled and saluted.
"Are you still talking? It's rare, but the Queen Mother didn't lose her temper when she went to the island. Mei Xin looked at her tentatively.
Shen Shen smiled and said vaguely: "It's about the business I have to talk about today." Instead, he asked her, "What about the others?" Why is there only Aunt Mei alone except for Manager Jia? ”
Mei Xin's smile suddenly reluctantly: "I don't know what's going on this month, the elder of Ye Ting said that there are not enough people, and from time to time he will transfer people from here."
"When the county lord accompanied the Queen Mother to get off the boat, he just called two more away. Now there are only four people left on the island, except for me and Jia Liu. ”
Speaking of this, Mei Xin peeked at Shen Shen and asked very worriedly, "I heard that the main person in Peony County is with Beidi, and the palace is choosing a companion?" Isn't it ......"
Shen Shen looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "Where did this news come from, auntie?" ”
I clearly heard Queen Pan say that this matter was banned in the palace, and the palace people were not allowed to talk about it privately. Especially for Xiao Penglai, it is even more strictly blocked.
Naturally, the news was not because he didn't want Nan Chen to hear it, but because he didn't want other people on Xiao Penglai to hear it.
However, Xiao Penglai still knew.
Mei Xin twisted her fingers tangled and said, "It's not that the maid is unwilling to go to Beidi. After all, the lord of Peony County is a princess, and in the past, it was the status of the Da Yan clan, so we are servants, and we can't suffer much.
"It's just that the eldest princess has just become familiar with the maid and Manager Jia, and Xiao Penglai has been calm these days. Rash big changes, I'm afraid that the eldest princess won't get used to ......"
Shen Shen looked at her and laughed: "What does my aunt want to ask?" ”
"That's it...... Suddenly, so many people were transferred from Xiaopenglai, and we all guessed that we were all going to accompany the county lord of Peony to Beidi. Since most of them are our people, then Manager Jia and I are going to follow one of them.
"The last time Mr. Yan came, he looked at Mr. Jia and nodded again and again and said yes, it must be because his eight-character face can bring some benefits to the eldest princess - he is in charge of Xiao Penglai these days, and it is indeed much more clean than in the past.
"If Mr. Jia doesn't go, then it must be me......"
Mei Xin was so worried that her two dark eyebrows wrinkled fiercely.
Shen Shen chuckled, tilted his head to look at her and asked, "You don't want to go to Beidi?" ”
“…… Be. The maid's family is in the capital. In particular, there is a younger brother who has just given birth to a nephew. If I go to Beidi, I will be threatened by my family, and I am afraid that I will do something sorry for Daxia. ”
When Mei Xin said this, even her eyes turned red.
Shen Shen's smile suddenly disappeared without a trace, and between his eyebrows and eyes, the frost gradually rose!
