Xue Hongxian's delicate and light footsteps gradually faded away.

Shen Zhu's mind is clear and empty, she always closes her eyes, listening to all the subtle and trivial voices in this world, lingering for a long night, only this heart belongs to herself.

After some time, she heard the sound of a gentle push on the door, and heard the sound of footsteps slowly entering.

She knew he was coming. She was still leaning there, breathing steadily, smiling lightly, as if she were asleep.

His hand rested on her forehead, his breath so familiar, and he slowly bent down and whispered her name. She still didn't move, not even her eyebrows flickered. He was suddenly a little panicked, his breathing became disordered, and his hand was on her vein, and after a long time, Fang breathed a sigh of relief, still holding her hand lightly, as if he had been looking at her face for a long time, and whispered in her ear: "Let's go back?" She was silent for a long time, and finally bowed slightly.

She was slowly walked outside by his arms, his heart beating steady and powerful, his face sinking into her hair, and he said softly, "I know you're tired." If you don't want to talk, just close your eyes and don't speak. The carriage was bumpy, and he hugged her tightly all the way, and she gradually became confused and fell asleep.

It's really strange that there are no dreams, no stars, no moons, no sorrows and no pain. When she woke up, Li Shi was stroking her cheeks with his chubby little hands, soft and smooth little hands, caressing her face, very comfortable. She stretched out her hand and hugged Li Shi onto the bed and asked, "What time is it?" ”

The palace maid replied with a smile: "It's still early, Your Highness has not dispersed early." The princess had only slept for three or four hours, and she should have slept until the afternoon. ”

Mama Wang, who served Li Shi, said beside her: "Your Royal Highness didn't allow the little prince to disturb the princess, but the prince didn't see his mother for a few days, and he cried every day, and the old slave had no choice but to bring him over." ”

Shen Pearl shook his head and said, "It's okay", he didn't bother to get out of bed for a while, so he withdrew the redundant people, etc., and the palace maids offered a few things that Li Shi liked, Shen Pearl cheered up and accompanied Li Shi to play nine consecutive rings and tangrams, Li Shi played to the xing, jumped up a few feet high on the couch, and made the palace maids around cover their mouths and eat and laugh.

was having a good time, and with a long communication "His Highness has arrived-", Li Jiao rolled in. Li Shi shouted "Daddy", jumped off the couch with flexible movements, and fell into Li Li's arms. Li Li picked up his son, smiled and did not forget to glance at Shen Zhuzhu, seeing that there was nothing abnormal in her expression, he was a little relieved. The grandmother, who had already seen the opportunity, followed into the room, and coaxed and persuaded Li Shi to take him out of the inner room in a few words, and in an instant, the palace maids and grandmothers retreated.

Shen Pearl saw Li Jiao slowly walking towards him. He kept smiling for a few steps, but his smile was cautious, as if every step was trying to figure out her heart. He was so cautious.

She greeted him with a light smile. He was afraid that she would be angry. However, this matter is that she thinks about it a thousand times and ten thousand times, and she seems to have no reason to be angry when it is commented on by countless others.

What reason could she be upset? He didn't mean to deceive her, on the contrary, probably because he didn't worry her, so he didn't tell her. And the development of the matter to the point that it was up to her to solve it was something he didn't expect. And she, as his wife, overcame obstacles in his time of danger, which is also a matter of course.

What else could she do? She can't be angry, she can't grieve, she can't rejoice. What else could she say to him? All she could do was smile at him like this.

He apparently thought she was relieved. So he stepped forward and sat beside her, took her hand and said, "This time you are too hard, you have to take care of it." ”

Shen Pearl smiled and nodded, her eyes quiet. Li Li came to grab her waist, she didn't realize it, turned her body slightly, and slowly leaned on the pillow with her eyes closed. Li Jiao only thought that she was tired again, and was about to pull the brocade quilt to cover her, but she heard her say softly: "Chang'an is so cold!" He felt slightly strange, she was very clueless in what she said, so he replied with a casual smile: "That's natural, this year is not cold, let me tell you, the year of my crown ceremony, there was a snow in Chang'an, there was ......."

Before the words were finished, Shen Pearl had already said: "Recently, I always feel unwell, I think it's because the weather is too cold, I heard that Luoyang has a better winter than Chang'an, I want to take Shi'er to Luoyang to live for a while, okay?" ”

Li Li was slightly surprised, brushed aside a strand of broken hair in front of her sideburns, pondered for a long time, and then said: "It's okay like this, Luoyang is warm, which is good for your body, and I also know that you don't live happily in this palace, and it's not bad to go out for a walk with Shi'er." However, he had to wait for the emperor to return to Beijing before he could leave. ”

Shen Pearl nodded silently.

Li Jiao said again: "I will take more time to go to Luoyang to see your mother and son." As he spoke, he leaned over to Shen Zhu's face, gently dropped a kiss, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you ask me about the outcome of Xue Song's matter?" ”

Shen Pearl chanted a "um" between her snorts, turned her back to Li Jiao, and said nothing. Li Jiao thought that she was about to fall asleep, but said to herself: "It's a pity that Xue Song was about to say who the person who slandered me was, when he suddenly died of a plot, and we failed. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Because the emperor is about to return to the court, Li Jiao is gradually busier, even Shen Pearl can hardly see her every day, and occasionally go to see her, always looking tired, rarely talking to him. Li Jiao didn't pay special attention to it, only thought that Shen Pearl was not in good spirits.

After Yan Ming escorted Xue Song to Daming Palace that day, Xue Song really retracted his confession on the spot, and in front of Su Zong, bluntly said in the hall that someone forced him with his life and coerced him to slander His Royal Highness King Guangping. However, just as he was about to say the name of the main envoy, someone hid on the beam of the main hall and stabbed Xue Song to death on the spot with a highly poisonous silver needle. This Xue Song ran for profit all his life, and finally died, and Xue Hongxian could only save him for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Despite this, Li Jiao's charge of plotting to usurp the monarch has been cleared on the spot. To make matters worse, although Xue Song could not say the name of the Lord's envoy at that time, when he was poisoned by the needle, his hand was pointing at a person in the palace.

The person he pointed at was Dugujing!

In fact, at that time, Dugujing and Concubine Zhang Shufei were standing together, very close to each other, and no one could tell which one Xue Song was pointing to. It's just that at this time, Li Mi and Li Jiao pursued and forced each other aggressively, and Zhang Shufei was helpless and hurriedly said, "Xue Song refers to Dugu Mirror." Although it was too absurd to convict with "one finger", Dugujing shouted that he was wronged, but the stakes were very high, and Su Zong immediately ordered Dugujing to be put in Dali Prison for strict interrogation. With the ability of Feng Yi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, as soon as he entered Dali Prison, Dugujing's life has been gone.

In this battle, Li Jiao did not return in vain after all.

On the fourth day of December, the emperor finally returned to Chang'an, and Su Zong personally led the princes and ministers to Xianyang to greet him, which was a great ceremony. Subsequently, the emperor came to the Hanyuan Palace to comfort the hundred officials, and since then he has lived in Xingqing Palace. Shen Pearl was grateful for the kindness of Xuanzong and Gaolishi in the past, and entered Xingqing Palace many times to greet her, and Xuanzong was very happy to see her.
