Shen Cuobai smiled faintly, grabbed Lan Ling'er's shoulders, and walked outside.

"If you don't have me in the future, you must take good care of yourself." Shen Cuobai opened his mouth and said, which made Lan Ling'er's heart tighten.

"What does the emperor mean by this? Do you still want courtiers? Lan Ling'er nestled in Shen Cuobai's arms, as if she was afraid that Shen Cuobai would escape, and stretched out her hand to wrap around Shen Cuobai's waist.

Shen Cuobai smiled faintly, "It's not interesting, I'll take you to a good place!" ”

Lan Ling'er saw that Shen Cuobai was not talking, so she didn't ask questions, but became interested in the "good place" in Shen Cuobai's mouth. The two of them walked outside with great interest, as if they were really a couple.

The carriage stopped, Shen Cuo and Bai Shuai walked down first, and then helped Lan Ling'er down. Lan Ling'er looked at the Lan Mansion in front of her, and the smile on her face was a little stiff.

"What does the emperor mean by this, how did we get here?" Lan Ling'er asked tentatively, staring at Shen Cuobai's cheek tightly, as if she wanted to see any changes in Shen Cuobai's face. But Shen Cuobai was just faintly unwavering, even when he looked at Lan Ling'er's eyes, there was no change in the slightest.

"This is your home, I invited you to live in the palace for a month, but you are still a person from Lan Mansion, and you are only a person from Lan Mansion." Shen Cuobai opened his mouth and asked, Lan Ling'er looked at Shen Cuobai's lips as soon as she opened a box, only to feel like a sharp blade, digging deep into her heart.

"For so long, you've always thought of me as Wei Zhaohua, right?"

Shen Cuobai didn't answer, turned around and was about to get into the carriage, Lan Ling'er watched Shen Cuobai's carriage go away, and her heart sank a little bit. In the end, even if she tried everything to change, she couldn't change the woman in his heart!

The next day, Shen Cuobai had just woken up, and Cheng An brought the washing things and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xu, it's gone." ”

"What's going on?"

"The people wanted to clean up in the morning, but when they went, Concubine Xu had already strangled herself to death with the rope on her body. Next to her, there was also a "ink" word written on a bitten finger. ”

Shen Cuobai nodded, "When she died, she wanted to remind me that she must keep Shen Chenmo's life." Let's bury it according to the etiquette of the concubine, and settle it well. Hanging white yarn in Yonghe Palace for three months can be regarded as atonement. ”

"Yes." Cheng An replied and began to serve Shen Cuobai to freshen up.

When everything was cleaned up, Shen Cuobai walked in the direction of Su Mansion. When he arrived at Su Mansion, only Wei Songting came out to greet him, and he couldn't see Su Chengbi at all.

"Get up, take me to Mrs. Su's yard." Shen Cuobai got out of the carriage and whispered to Wei Songting.

Wei Songting nodded, waved his subordinates away, and took Shen Cuobai in the direction of Jingxin Garden. The two of them were relatively silent all the way, just looking at Wei Songting's eyes, they knew that there was still a strong atmosphere of sadness in the Su Mansion. When we arrived at the entrance of the Meditation Garden, the gate was closed.

Wei Songting stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a long time, Aunt Su

I came out of it, opened the door, and saw Shen Cuobai and Wei Songting, still without any surprised looks, bowed lightly, and took the lead in speaking.

"See the emperor, I have seen the eldest prince. Madame is not feeling well, and it is not suitable to see people, so please go back. ”

Aunt Su was about to retreat and close the door, but was stopped by Shen Cuobai. Aunt Su was stunned and looked at Shen Cuobai's hand.

"Please also ask Aunt Su to report that I have something to tell Mrs. Su, even if I don't want to, I hope to see her." Shen Cuobai opened his mouth and said, Aunt Su was surprised by Shen Cuobai's courage to speak low, but when she thought of Mrs. Su's face, she couldn't help but shake her head.

"If the emperor is smart, he shouldn't come here at this time. If it drags on any further, I'm afraid Madame's mood may be better. Now like this, I'm afraid it's unsightly. ”

Shen Cuobai saw that Aunt Su was still reluctant to let Shen Cuobai in, so he shook his head helplessly, still unwilling to let go of the hand pushing the door. "If it were past today, I am afraid I would not have had a chance to say more. Aunt Su, please also look at Zhaohua's face, and let me meet Mrs. Su. ”

Aunt Su saw that Shen Cuobai refused to let go, and I am afraid that there will be no result if the stalemate continues. In the end, it is the emperor, even if it is a dispute, it is necessary to sell a little face.

"Then the emperor and the slave maid should come over, but remember not to make a sound." Aunt Su advised, and then opened the door, and Shen Cuobai and Wei Songting walked in together.

Walking into the room, Mrs. Su was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, and Wei Songting took the lead in speaking, "Mother, is your body better?" ”

Su Chengbi's voice paused, but she didn't answer, but continued to chant until Su Chengbi finished chanting, and then she was about to get up, Aunt Su hurriedly stepped forward to help, and at this time Shen Cuobai found that Su Chengbi's eyes were chaotic at this time, as if she was blind!

Wei Songting stepped forward to hold Su Chengbi's other arm, and the three of them walked outside.

"Is the emperor gone? How did you come back so quickly? Su Chengbi opened her mouth and walked straight past Shen Cuobai, but it seemed that she couldn't see it. Shen Cuobai looked at this scene in surprise, and felt sad from his heart, if it weren't for Wei Zhaohua, how could Su Chengbi be like this!

Wei Songting raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Cuobai, "It's already gone, he wants to come and see his mother, but his mother refuses to see him, so he leaves." ”

Su Chengbi nodded, walked to the sunshine outside, and Su Chengbi smiled.

"If Zhaohua is still here, he must not want me to turn the emperor away. If Zhaohua is still there, Shen Cuobai should now carry the dowry and come over to tell me in person that he will treat Zhaohua well. Su Chengbi said softly, but the atmosphere in the air suddenly quieted down.

"Mother, don't say it. Zhaohua is no longer here, even if you are thinking about it, you can't come back. Wei Songting opened his mouth to comfort, Su Chengbi's eyes were already blind from crying, and his body was not as good as day by day, if this continued, I am afraid that he would lose a loved one again.

"It's because Zhaohua is no longer there that I want to say it. No matter what, Zhaohua made a decision, she herself will not be after

I can't blame her. Just hope, her hope can be attained, and it won't be a fearless sacrifice. ”

After speaking, Su Chengbi looked in the direction of Shen Cuobai with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Songting, I only have a child like you, if you also join up with outsiders to deceive me, I am afraid that I will really lose my virtue, and I will become the appearance of this lonely person now!"

Su Chengbi said pointedly, and as soon as Wei Songting wanted to explain, Shen Cuobai took the lead in speaking.

"It was Cuobai who asked Songting to bring me in, if Mrs. Su wants to blame, it is better to blame Cuobai." Shen Cuobai stood up and said, I don't know why, he believes that Su Chengbi can see him.

"You are the emperor, the Son of Heaven, and the Ninety-Five Supreme, how can I blame you." Su Chengbi said that he was about to salute Shen Cuobai, but Shen Cuobai hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Su Chengbi's movements.

"Although I am blind, I know the rules. Personal affection does not count, I am your courtier, kneeling and saluting, it is right. This gift, you Shen Cuo received it in vain. Su Chengbi didn't give up, and wanted to bend down.

Shen Cuobai didn't let go, "Between me and Zhaohua, there is no difference between public and private, and naturally you don't need it." ”

At the mention of Wei Zhaohua, Su Chengbi's movements were slightly stunned, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was not struggling. "In that case, presumably Zhaohua and your days together should be very happy."

"Madam, didn't you let the slave maid accompany the county lord at the emperor's birthday banquet? The slave maid has always been by the county lord's side, and can clearly understand what the county lord is thinking. The county lord really treats the emperor with his heart. The emperor and the county lord are all paid with their hearts. If the county lord is still there, I don't want you to be prejudiced against the emperor. ”

Su Chengbi nodded, and there were no extra tears in her eyes to flow out.

"I know the truth, Shen Cuobai, you don't have the slightest emperor in front of the old woman, I admire you. I have always seen your intentions for Zhaohua. It's Zhaohua who doesn't have that blessing, originally I thought she would be more blessed than Ziyu, and get all the tolerance and love of an emperor, but in the end, it's really no wonder you. ”

After Su Chengbi finished speaking, he walked around Shen Cuobai and walked towards the house, "It's no wonder you, but it has something to do with you." If the emperor has a heart, he will leave a place for Zhaohua, and she should be happy in her heart. ”

Shen Cuobai watched Su Chengbi walk in, and suddenly felt that this so-called strange woman in the former capital had aged a lot in an instant. If it weren't for her insisting on dragging Wei Zhaohua into the water, the entire Su Mansion would be full of laughter and laughter at this time, and Su Chengbi would be a group of children, and it would be the time to enjoy her old age in peace. Now he has to endure the pain of the black-haired man sending the white-haired man.

When Wei Songting came out of it, Shen Cuobai was still standing in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty, my mother is just too concerned about Zhaohua's affairs, so don't take it to heart." Wei Songting bowed to Shen Cuobai and spoke.

Shen Cuobai shook his head, "Zhaohua's matter, even if it is a lifetime, I will not forgive myself.

Take good care of Mrs. Su, if you are worried when you go to the frontier, you can send it to the palace, I must be my biological mother! ”

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, it's just that my mother is used to the days of Jingxin Garden, there are still a lot of memories here, and if it's good to live or not, my mother is reluctant to leave."

Shen Cuobai nodded, turned around and walked out of the Meditation Garden. Turning around and taking a deep look, Wei Zhaohua, when you were at home, did you persuade your mother to change her name, this name is a little lower.

Thinking of Wei Zhaohua, Shen Cuobai's face unconsciously smiled, and he walked slowly on the path, there must be traces left by Wei Zhaohua.
