Chapter 144: Huo Biao is embarrassed
"The county lord is right to think so."
The bell girl also raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at her encouragingly.
Shen Xianhe nodded.
Seeing that she had calmed down, the bell girl continued to explain to her the current situation in the Shen Mansion.
"County Lord, everyone in the Shen Mansion has moved out after the funeral for the eldest princess in accordance with the emperor's will, and now everyone lives on the side of Liujia Hutong, the Shen Mansion has now been sealed, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and the connected eldest princess's mansion is the same, it is guarded by the emperor, no one is allowed to enter or leave, if you want to go in to worship the eldest princess, you can't enter without a holy decree, so if you have to go in, there may be some trouble."
Hearing this, Shen Xianhe couldn't help frowning.
"The emperor really didn't give up, and used such a means, thinking that by sending troops to guard it like this, he could destroy the power left by his mother? It's too naΓ―ve, today, no matter what, I must go in to worship my mother in person, even if the emperor sends someone to guard it? Who have I, Shen Xianhe, been afraid of? β
As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage stopped, and the subordinate who was driving the carriage reminded through the curtain.
"Master, the Shen Mansion has arrived."
Shen Xianhe couldn't say anything, opened the carriage curtain and got out of the car, and sure enough, watching the Praetorian Guards at the door surround the Shen Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion, her eyes were cold, revealing a sarcastic sneer, and she strode onto the gate of the Shen Mansion.
The Praetorian Guards guarding the door saw someone coming, and the Praetorian Guards led by them surrounded her with two subordinates, and drew their swords to block her in front of her, blocking her way, and scolded sharply.
"Who's coming? Don't you know that the Shen Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion are forbidden to enter and exit? Don't retreat quickly. β
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, I'm Shen Xianhe, I'm here today, just to worship the deceased, and please be accommodating, I won't delay too much time, after worshipping the deceased, I will leave, and I won't embarrass you."
After several Praetorian Guards looked at each other, the Praetorian Guards led by them raised their chins and signaled, and several of them tacitly took their swords back.
"Your Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to enter here, if you want to enter, you must get Your Majesty's holy decree before you can enter, if not, please leave quickly."
"I'm just going in to pay respects to the deceased, but you'd better be accommodating and leave soon."
Shen Xianhe begged them patiently.
"Please don't embarrass us Miss Shen, we are also acting on orders."
"What if I have to go in today?"
Shen Xianhe, who had lost his patience, changed his face, his eyes were full of cold murderous aura, standing there alone, facing the fierce and vicious Praetorian Guards, he did not flinch at all, but had a momentum of bullying the superiors, which made the surrounding people stop talking, and even the guards were suppressed by her momentum, and they did not dare to be presumptuous.
"Miss Shen, it's not that we won't let you in, this is really Your Majesty's will, if we let you in today, then our head will not be guaranteed, please don't embarrass us."
Seeing the other party's embarrassed expression, she didn't offend her much, she also belongs to the person who eats soft and does not eat hard, entangled in three, she looked up at the familiar door, and a feeling of right and wrong rose in her heart, yesterday's laughter seems to be still in her ears, but today she can't even enter the former home, and even the closest people can't worship.
Looking at the embarrassed look of the Praetorian Guard in front of her, looking around at the lively crowd, her face was full of schadenfreude, her heart was infinitely sad, her eyes darkened, she turned around and strode down the steps.
Just when everyone thought that she was about to leave after giving up, Shen Xianhe turned around, knelt down with a "plop" at the gate of the Shen Mansion, and looked directly at the gate in front of her.
"The eldest princess, Xianhe has come to worship you, everything you have done for Xianhe is unforgettable, although you are not Xianhe's biological mother, but you love me more than your biological mother, your great kindness, Xianhe can only be repaid in the next life, today for various reasons can not go to the mourning hall in person, I hope you will forgive me, you can rest assured, I will not disappoint your high hopes and hard work, I will live well."
After speaking, she slammed three heads against the door of the Shen Mansion, each of which slammed the stone slab, and after swallowing the three heads, her forehead was already dripping with blood, and the resentment and grief in her heart had occupied her heart, so that she could no longer feel the pain in her forehead.
The bell girl hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.
"The county lord ......."
Shen Xianhe turned to her with a sharp look.
"Just call me Miss."
The bell girl who reacted quickly changed her words.
"Miss, your forehead?"
"It doesn't matter."
The hand that blocked the bell girl who was about to deal with her injuries looked at the gate of the Shen Mansion, but said goodbye silently in her heart.
"Mother, it's Xianhe who is incompetent, not only did he not accompany you before you left, but now he walks into the mourning hall to worship you can't do it, I know you won't blame me, but I feel guilty in my heart, regret, regret not to accompany you more on weekdays, regret not to tell you those words of thanks to you in person, really thank you for raising me, giving me so much favor, giving me a noble identity, so that I will not be wronged in the slightest, Xianhe came today, but also to say goodbye to you, without you, there would be no home, so, Xianhe will leave here after handling the follow-up things, you take care. β
After silently saying everything that should be said in her heart, Shen Xianhe still couldn't hold back after all, and shed tears, in order not to let herself lose her temper in public, she closed her eyes, and was about to ease her emotions before leaving, but was interrupted by a voice containing sarcasm.
"Who do I say? It turned out to be the county lord! Oh, I forgot, the emperor has already announced to the world, you are not the daughter of the eldest princess at all, and you have been deprived of the title of county lord, what should I call you? Miss Shen? Or Miss Gu? Tsk, seeing you crying, I actually have a feeling of pity, Shen Xianhe, who was not afraid of heaven and earth in the past, will be reduced to the point that it is difficult to enter the gate of Shen Mansion, it is really sad. β
Although Shen Xianhe didn't turn to look at the person, but when she heard this disrespectful words, she didn't need to look at it to know who it was, when he spoke, she silently wiped the tears on her face and hid the sadness in her eyes, then she turned around and looked at the person with an indifferent face.
"General Huo, long time no see."
"Well, it's been a long time, I didn't expect to see such a miserable scene, tsk."
A trace of killing intent crossed Shen Xianhe's heart, but his face was still expressionless.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, General Huo, who is majestic on the battlefield, has become like a woman who loves to chew the root of his tongue, and he falls into the well, and it is really the world that is declining, and it is not just me Shen Xianhe, General Huo, do you think what I said is right?"
Huo Biao's face changed, the anger in his eyes rose, and when he was about to say hurtful words, he saw the injury on her forehead and endured it.
Because before Shen Xianhe came to the door of the Shen Mansion, he drank tea and listened to the music in the teahouse opposite, and when he was comfortable, the people downstairs swept to the Shen Mansion, and he liked the lively scene the most, how could he let go of this opportunity to see the excitement, so he turned around and walked to the fence, and with his extraordinary eyes, he saw the situation at the gate of the Shen Mansion here.
When he saw Shen Xianhe appear, he was a little surprised, thinking that after those incidents, this Shen Xianhe would hide like a street rat and dare not see people, but he didn't expect her to come to the Shen Mansion with a swagger, and wanted to ignore the emperor's order and want to break in.
Just when he thought she would desperately break in, he saw her suddenly turn around and leave, and was chuckling in his heart, but he saw her turn around and kneel down against the gate of the Shen Mansion, and said those words of gratitude righteously, before he was surprised to take it back, and saw her slam the stone slab, and saw that her forehead was bleeding, but she was still reluctant to leave.
The contempt in his heart has long disappeared, although he usually looks down on this Shen Xianhe who is heaven and earth, but today, admiration rose in his heart and decided to help her.
"Shen Xianhe, what's the use of these verbal skills with General Ben? Now that you are just a civilian, you can't even enter the Shen Mansion, what else do you have to be proud of? β
Shen Xianhe didn't want to waste time with him, this Huo Biao used to be like this, he didn't take her in his eyes when she was still the county lord before, and now that she has become a commoner, I don't know how he wants to bully her? Before the matter was dealt with, she should not cause trouble, so she saluted him with an attitude of calming things down.
"General Huo, it was the little girl who was in a hurry to be sarcastic, and if you offend, please don't worry about the little girl and say goodbye!"
After speaking, he took the bell girl's hand and prepared to leave, but Huo Biao blocked him in front of him and blocked the way.
"What's the hurry? Did General Ben let you go? Aren't you here to worship the eldest princess? How? Just kowtow at the door? is so insincere, worthy of the eldest princess's nurturing grace to you? Is it worth her to risk the reputation of being scolded by the world to make you a royal blood? Is she worthy of the kind of person she married Shen Junan? ...... worthy of her? β
