For Shen Zhizhang, many partings in his life seem to be sudden. Just like when my father and eldest brother went on the expedition, my father touched his head when they parted, and encouraged him with a hearty smile: "Zhang'er, this time you sent your father on the expedition, after seven or eight years you grow up, your father sent you and Yan'er on the expedition, and our Shen family is all sons and daughters who stand up to the sky!" ”

At that time, he longed to fight on the battlefield like his father and brother, pull a longbow and descend on a fierce horse, protect this mighty mountain and river, and achieve his own great cause. But the young faith is looking forward to the peace of the world and the clear Haiyan River. Therefore, he said sensibly while holding the joy in his heart: "Daddy, after this war, the world will be peaceful, and I would rather never have a chance to go on the expedition again in this life." ”

The heroic words of childhood are still fresh in my memory, but now they are different. The last time he saw his father, on the front line of the battle between the two armies, he personally drew his bow and shot an arrow at him. When he was sober again, he never saw his father again.

Later, he always thought that the greatest pain of his life had passed, and there would be no such goodbye for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he experienced a heart-wrenching parting. The sudden departure of the sixth princess was even more unexpected without warning.

Shen Zhizhang sat on the ground indifferently, staring blankly at the darkening sky outside the window. There was no light in the room, and the light gradually dimmed, and he shrank in darkness, as if there was only a shell left, and it was nothing more than a walking corpse.

The silence in the room was terrifying, and I saw that there seemed to be a light outside the window, and after a while, I heard someone talking, it was the voices of Shen Zhiyan and Dou Ling.

"How is he today?" Shen Zhiyan's tone of voice was sad and heavy, and he sounded a little tired.

The sudden death of the sixth princess was a flying disaster for the Shen family, another heavy blow. The Shen family, which was originally sparsely populated, was hit hard again, and after Mrs. Shen heard that the sixth princess had an accident, she fainted with grief and has not woken up yet. The Wang family not only has to take care of the family, but also has to deal with the aftermath of the six princesses, and also enters the palace to appease Concubine Jing, and has long been out of skill. Shen Zhizhang, who suddenly lost his wife, was decadent and depressed, so many things had to be handled by Shen Zhiyan. Fortunately, in the past year, his old illness has been carefully cared for by the famous doctor Duan Lanting, and his body is stronger than in the past. Let him not fall so quickly in this stormy situation, so that the Shen Mansion will no longer have support.

"Childe is still the same, he doesn't speak or move, he just sits still." Dou Qian rubbed her red and swollen eyes, and replied with tears in her heart: "Today, Hou Gongzi and Hu Gongzi came to visit Gongzi, and he locked himself up and didn't see them. ”

"Did he eat?"

"Nope."

Shen Zhiyan looked at the closed door panel, and sighed helplessly: "There is someone in the palace today, and I decreed that the sixth princess should be posthumously crowned as Shuhui Xiaohe Princess, and the etiquette will be simple, and she will be buried in seven days." ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard the door be kicked open, Shen Zhizhang staggered out and stood in front of the door, his eyes were red, but his tone was still tough, and he roared loudly at the moment: "Don't bury!" Did he find out how Jinshu died and was buried? ”

"Zhizhang......" Shen Zhiyan leaned back against the pillar under the corridor to support his body, and coughed a few times before he said sadly: "The sixth princess is gone, everyone is very sad, the eldest brother can understand your feelings, but this is the emperor's order." ”

"That's not a burial! The whereabouts of Xiaohuan and Boiled Bean's bodies are unknown, and there is no explanation for the unclear matter, how can they be buried? I gave him a warning letter, he knew that this matter might be related to the prince, how could he just downplay it? The crown prince is his son, and the sixth princess is also his daughter! Shen Zhizhang roared angrily: "No one is investigating the case, right, I'll investigate!" Don't touch her until you find out! ”

"Shen Zhizhang!" Shen Zhiyan raised his voice and shouted, his tone was full of anxiety and irrepressible excitement: "I know that you are suspicious of the prince now, but the sixth princess is usually low-key and has never had a conflict with him." Even if the prince doesn't want you to continue the investigation, he won't murder his own sister like this? ”

"With the ambition of the wolf sons, they can't do anything! Big brother, don't forget, no matter how bad His Royal Highness is, he is also his own brother! At the mention of this, Shen Zhizhang instantly lost his mind, he nodded violently, raised his foot and kicked the door panel fiercely, as if to vent all the suppressed emotions in the past few days: "Yes! Right! Big brother, you're right, Jinshu didn't offend anyone, so at the moment, apart from the crown prince, who else could possibly do it to her? ”

"What if it's not man-made, it's just an accident?"

"How could it be an accident! How do you interpret the warning letter? What happened to the corpses of boiled beans and Xiaohuan missing? The wolves have eaten all of them, and they have eaten cleanly? Shen Zhizhang's eyes widened angrily, and he roared loudly: "Warning is the first to kill the last, then it is clearly not an accident!" ”

"Calm down!"

"Calm down! Big brother, how do you calm me down at this time! Shen Zhizhang roared at Shen Zhiyan, and after a roar, the two looked at each other, and each other's affection was clearly reflected in their eyes. After seeing the grief and sadness in each other's eyes, they both fell silent.

Shen Zhizhang sat down on the ground, lowered his head and sobbed softly: "I'm sorry, big brother." I can't calm down, I ......"

"I know." Shen Zhiyan lowered his head and stared at Shen Zhizhang who was sitting on the ground suppressing his emotions and crying bitterly, and his heart swelled with infinite sadness. He raised his hand and gently patted Shen Zhizhang's shoulder, and comforted him softly: "Brother knows." ”

Brotherhood for more than 20 years, he watched him grow up, and now seeing Shen Zhizhang lying on his back, sitting on the ground like an old man crying bitterly, how can he not be heartbroken?

"I ...... I can't calm down at all...... Brother, I personally sent her there. I deliberately wanted to test whether she and Zhu Dongxu really had something, and we agreed...... I said that she would go home to have fun, but I really didn't expect it. Shen Zhizhang lowered his head, wiped his tears and choked up: "She is my wife, and no one will be like her anymore." When I first received the warning letter, I thought that everyone just didn't expect it to be her, she was a princess...... I can't calm down, really, brother, I can't calm down......"

"I know, I know." Shen Zhiyan patted him lightly on the back, and patiently and gently enlightened: "But you can't fall, we still have to seek justice for her." He said that he coughed a few times with great effort, tried to ease his emotions, and continued: "The fact that the bodies of Xiaohuan and Boiled Bean have not been found so far indicates that they may still be alive. I asked Yao Lin and they continued to look at the bottom of the valley, and by the way, they put away all the things that the princess had scattered. If we are lucky enough to be alive, then we will know the truth of the matter. ”

"Brother, I really can't figure it out...... Are you saying it was an accident or a man-made? ”

"Nowadays, we are all fans of the authorities, especially you, and the most difficult thing to see at the moment is the truth." Shen Zhiyan sighed lightly and slowly said his thoughts: "I know that you are suspicious of the prince now, but there are a few questions that you must be clear. One, what important evidence did you find that required the prince to threaten you to shut up? Second, is it worth the fact that the prince wants to kill his own sister regardless of his reputation to threaten you to shut up? 3. If it was really the prince's doing, what should you do? There are three princes in Daliang, the second prince is treasonous, and the third royal highness is dull. The status of the crown prince is self-evident. This also goes back to the original question, since the situation is like this, why did the prince kill the sixth princess? ”

Hearing his analysis, Shen Zhizhang subconsciously looked up at Shen Zhiyan and asked hesitantly: "If it wasn't the prince's hand, it would have been an accident?" ”

"It is not possible to jump to conclusions at this time. You go back and have a good rest first, and when Yao Lin comes back, we'll check again." ”

"I'm not tired!" Shen Zhizhang got up as he spoke, wiped away his tears and said, "I don't rest, I still have something to do." ”

"What are you going to do? Zhizhang, don't be impulsive now! ”

"Enter the palace!" Shen Zhizhang took a deep breath and said, "I think clearly, everyone opens the skylight and speaks brightly." The province guessed and guessed, so I will ask the prince to see if this warning letter was written by him. They are so guessing and guessing, I, Shen Zhizhang, don't eat this set! ”
