According to the rules of previous years, June and July were spent in the summer palace in the western suburbs, but in May this year, he was assassinated while hunting, and the ministers felt that it was very unsafe to move at this time.

The two northwestern countries have been at war for decades, and the two sides are equal in national strength, and no one can take advantage of it.

Before the Western Kingdom sent envoys to talk, the Western Army took the lead in returning to the capital, and General Pei had not returned for several years, so this time in addition to arranging for the army to be stationed in the Western Territory, he only brought a small number of soldiers back to Beijing, on the one hand, in order not to let the Western Kingdom take advantage of it, on the other hand, but also so that the emperor would not suspect him.

Shen Lan was nothing before he went to the battlefield, but after several outstanding bravery he was strongly recommended by General Pei as a third-grade lieutenant, and now he returned to the capital, and was immediately named the second-rank general of the expedition to the west, he was originally also a general of the Northern Army, but at that time it was his father's world, at that time, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the prime minister's world, and the first emperor almost didn't care about political affairs, so every person in the Shen family was in a high position.

The direction of the wind in the court began to show signs of change before Shen Lan returned, and Shen Wan knew from Xi Chao that Shen Xiang's henchmen in the past. Although they have no real power now, they have not retired from the court, and several of them have begun to move around in secret.

But Shen Wan also knows that Xichen must understand the truth of "fighting snakes will not die but be bitten", Shen Lan has made great achievements on the battlefield in the west, many people are convinced of him, loyal allies, outstanding military exploits, not a small power, Shen Lan now has everything, so she is even more worried that the actions of those adults will cause Xichen to be alert to Shen Lan, but as a woman, she really has no way to say anything to those adults? I can only think that when Shen Lan comes back, I must remind him.

As the imperial Shangyi, Shen Wan naturally wanted to follow Xichen to meet the returning soldiers in the court, and Shen Wan saw Shen Lan with a good face in the Jinluan Palace. Although she has tanned a little and lost some weight, her spirit is much better than half a year ago, wearing a new court dress and kneeling, she has a strange feeling in her heart, she wants to smile, but she wants to cry more.

The emperor is used to saying high-sounding words, every sentence is very reasonable, Shen Wan listened in a daze, Shen Lan who was kneeling below looked respectful, and his brother has also learned to hide his emotions, it seems that in the past six months, he has been sharpened a lot, and he has changed a lot.

The elder brother is young and prominent, and he is the hope of the Shen family.

General Pei was also rewarded, and he was now the highest rank among the generals, so he could not be promoted to the official position, so he was rewarded with a lot of fertile land and gold and silver.

After the reward, there was a banquet, not only the officials participated, but Concubine Pei was also included in the banquet because of her father's honor, and the eldest princess of Pingyang was Shen Lan's wife, so she also sat under the emperor.

Shen Wan didn't have to wait, but she really wanted to see her brother and talk to him, so she waited outside the Lin De Palace, and after waiting for almost half an hour, Shen Lan took the excuse to change her clothes, and then she saw it.

Seeing Shen Lan standing so close to her, Shen Wan felt sad for a while, Shen Lan smiled at her, and took her hand and pulled her under the corridor to the side.

Shen Wan picked up his face and observed it carefully, only to see an ugly scar behind his ear. Although the potion faded, it still left a mark.

Feeling her fingertips rubbing against the scar, Shen Lan held his sister's hand and smiled softly: "This one was cut by the enemy general, and the blood flowed like an infusion at that time, everyone thought that I might not be able to save my life, who knew that I was alive again, the military doctor said, cut another inch, and it would hurt the carotid artery......" He said lightly, as if it was not himself who was injured and almost died, Shen Wan couldn't help but fall into tears when she heard it.

Shen Lan stretched out his hand to help her wipe away her tears, but Shen Wan saw a deep scar on his palm, Shen Lan explained: "That time General Pei was ambushed, I went to the rescue, the enemy slashed at him, I grabbed it with my hand in a hurry, and left this wound, I couldn't pull the bow for a long time afterwards, and it was difficult to even hold the pen, but now it's okay, I've recovered!" ”

No wonder, no wonder General Pei admires him so much, it turned out to save his life, and my brother's current exploits are all these scars, which have been exchanged for wandering from the ghost gate again and again.

Shen Wan held his hand, looked at the scar, tears fell on it, and she muttered over and over again: "You are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go to the battlefield again......"

Shen Lan held the string of tears in his palm, but the tears overflowed from his fingers, and he smiled and said, "Silly girl, if you don't go, do you want me to stay in the capital and look up to people?" I'm not at ease when you're by his side! ”

Shen Wan said with tears in her eyes: "But when you go to the battlefield, I am even more worried!" ”

What does Shen Lan want to say? But I couldn't find a better reason to convince my sister.

Shen Wan wiped her tears and said in a low voice: "Recently, there has been a change in the direction of the stroke, several subordinates of the former father are ready to move, it is said that they have secretly met several times, as soon as you leave the palace, I am afraid that they will find you soon, brother must be careful at this time, don't get too close to them!" ”

Shen Lan said: "I know, I won't meet them at this time!" He also lowered his voice and said: "It seems that they are very careless, since the news of the secret appointment can reach you, the emperor must also know!" ”

Shen Wan was shocked in her heart and said, "My news is all about ...... Dynasty."

Shen Lan frowned and said, "The emperor's eyes and ears outside the palace will never be less than that of King Yi!" ”

Shen Wan was silent for a long time, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's been a long time, go back!" Lest it be doubted, since the Western Kingdom is going to send an envoy here, it must not start a war soon, and my brother can stay in Beijing for a longer time! ”

Shen Lan nodded, but said worriedly: "I heard some things about the envoy of the Western Kingdom on the way back to Beijing, I am afraid that it is not just a peace talk, even if it is a peace talk, there must be some conditions." Although I don't know very well, it seems that the people of the harem have something to do with it, no matter what, you are careful! ”

Shen Wan glanced at him suspiciously, how could the affairs of the border be related to the people in the harem? Will it involve yourself? When he thought of Ye Canghao, who he met while hunting, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

Shen Lan patted the back of her hand, turned around and went back to the Lin De Palace, Shen Wanwu stood by herself for a while, she couldn't figure it out, so she had to put it down and didn't want to, anyway, the envoy from the West Kingdom would come in a few days, and then she would know that she didn't even go out of the palace gate, so there shouldn't be any big deal.
