Finale (Part II)
Chapter 290: The Finale (Part II)
Shen Lan returned to the dynasty to take office, but was stopped by some old ministers, but fortunately, the person who was reused by Shen Xiang at the beginning was promoted by Shen Wan after Zhao'er succeeded to the throne. The Shen family's power is high, of course, it is a good thing for them, so after some arguments, Shen Lan was finally allowed to return to the court.
In fact, the topic of everyone's argument is just because Shen Lan once betrayed Dabei, but under Shen Wan's protection, he said that as long as there is Shen Lan, he can attack the Western Kingdom. The ministers saw that her attitude was so resolute and she swore an oath, so they believed it, but as soon as they found out that Shen Lan had moved, the Queen Mother must kill her immediately!
Afterwards, Shen Wan smiled and said to Shen Lan: "Brother, don't embarrass me!" It is more sad for me to kill you with my own hands than for my own life! ”
Shen Lan hugged his fists and said: "Weichen will not embarrass the Queen Mother!" ”
Shen Wan smiled and didn't say anything, and told him: "By the way, Xichao booked a seat in Fumanlou to celebrate your safe return, you can go!" Lao Shi and Xiao Wumian are also there, Xiao Wumian is also a rare talent, I think you should be able to talk. The four of you, but my right-hand man, the people whom the DPRK and China call the 'Hou Party'! ”
Her tone was self-deprecating, Shen Lan knew that the power of the Queen Mother was too great, and it would inevitably affect the rights of the little emperor, and now the emperor was still young and could not affect anything, if the emperor was in charge in the future, but everyone listened to the Queen Mother, I was afraid that this country would be in danger.
Shen Lan went to the banquet and saw the old ten who he hadn't seen for a long time, as well as Xiao Wumian, and after talking, he really felt that Xiao Wumian was a talent. The topic somehow came to Shen Wan, Lao Shi sighed, and said: "Ah Wan still can't forget the fourth brother, and is still sending people to Huitou Cliff to find the body of the fourth brother, but everyone knows it, where can you find it!" Alas! ”
Everyone fell silent, especially Xi Chao, his face was very bad, Shen Lan's face turned white and pale, and asked, "Ah Wan, she really ...... Is that so? ”
Xiao Wumian said: "That's right, she couldn't find the body of the first emperor, she even thought that the first emperor might still be alive, in short...... She has been thinking about the first emperor all day long, and she is really afraid that something will happen to her one day. ”
Several people fell silent again, and the atmosphere at first was not there, but they were sad on the way to sit down, so it was better to disperse early. So the four of them said goodbye and went home, seeing that the other three had returned to their homes, Shen Lan watched them go away, but went in the opposite direction - the palace.
Shen Wan heard that Shen Lan wanted to see her again, which was a little strange, but she still let him in. As soon as Shen Lan came in, he knelt down straight in front of Shen Wan and said, "Ah Wan, I have something very important to tell you. ”
It was night, Zhao'er was reading a book, Shen Wan walked in quietly, holding a bowl of bird's nest in her hand, seeing Zhao'er's frowning, she always felt that this child's mind was different from ordinary people, and she was much more precocious than ordinary children. Putting the bird's nest on the table, Zhao'er looked up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the mother's queen." Oh, just let the next person do these jobs, why do you need the queen mother to send them personally? ”
Shen Wan smiled and said, "The queen mother misses Zhao'er, so come over to see Zhao'er." It's good to read, but don't be too tired, your body is still small now, if you run it all up at this time, I'm afraid it's not good to grow up! ”
Zhao'er put down the book in her hand and said, "Where is Erchen so delicate, not to mention the queen's bird's nest!" After I ate it, my body bones only got harder and stronger! ”
Shen Wan's eyes watched him finish the bird's nest without blinking, and the smile on her lips slowly smiled very comfortably, and said, "Zhao'er, do you know what two words you first said when you were a child?" ”
Zhao'er said with a smile: "It's called the father and the emperor, and you have said it eight hundred times after the queen mother." ”
Shen Wan hurriedly asked, "Then, do you miss your father?" Shall I go and get him back? ”
Zhao'er looked at her fixedly, "Queen Mother, I know that you miss your father very much, but ...... Queen Mother, son-in-law will send you back to rest first, it's too late, don't think nonsense. ”
Shen Wan shook her head and said, "No need, the queen mother will go back by herself." ”
Zhao'er watched her leave worriedly, and as soon as Shen Wan returned to her bedroom, she immediately asked people to invite Xichao over. Shen Wan handed him the note that had already been prepared in his hand, he opened it strangely, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Ah Wan, what are you doing?" ”
Shen Wan smiled: "I'm going to find Xichen, if I haven't come back in two months, I'll announce the news that I have returned to heaven!" ”
"Ah, you're crazy!"
"I'm not crazy, listen to me say that he is not dead, my brother told me. He saved him! Shen Wan looked at Xichao, her black pupils were like bright stars in the sky.
I'm sorry, please forgive me for my selfishness, I can't keep my promise to you. Although we can see each other every day and be together every day, we dare not go beyond the shackles of etiquette. From the moment I was captured by Xichen, we were destined to have an uncle-sister-in-law relationship, and it was impossible to go back to the past. Now that you've missed it, let it all pass! Since it's no longer possible, let's drop everything!
A horse suddenly drove in the breeze, and immediately carried a woman in plain clothes wearing a light pink gauze dress, and as the horse rushed, her black hair also fluttered in the air, and her clothes seemed to fly lightly. When she reached a forest of locust flowers, she dismounted, threw off the reins, and walked deeper into the woods.
In the depths of the dense forest, there was a faint sound of the piano, and along with the sound of the piano, the petals of the locust tree that were blown off fell to the ground, and some floated on the woman's body, which was blown by the wind and flew again. The white petals slowly drifted more and more, and the woman seemed to be in the white flower rain, all of which were as beautiful as if she had fallen into a dream.
Gradually coming to the end, the dense forest suddenly became empty, and there was a green grass, and in the clearing, a man in white sat in a wheelchair, and a piano was set up in the wheelchair. The man's slender fingers slowly fluctuated on the piano, and beautiful music flowed from his fingertips.
Shen Wan walked over, stood behind him, and said softly: "I've never seen you play the piano, and I didn't know that you played the piano so well." ”
The man tilted his head slightly, and said with a smile: "So, if you can hear it often in the future, will you like it very much?" ”
Shen Wan had tears in her eyes, and said softly: "Yes, I like it very much." She suddenly grabbed him and muttered, "Pity the dust...... I ......, "I thought you were dead, I thought I would never see you again in my life, I promised you to live well, you see, how well I lived!" I listen to you, don't I?
Xichen patted her hand gently, and Shen Wan felt that his hand was still flexible and warm, but his legs were ......
Xichen smiled lightly: "It's a blessing that I didn't die after falling from the back cliff, but I broke below my knee and couldn't move anymore." However, it is still possible to move above the knees. ”
Shen Wan held his hand tightly and said, "It's okay, I'll push you in the future, and I'll be your legs." ”
The two hugged each other tightly, and the sound of their conversation could still be faintly heard.
"Hey, why don't you go back to the palace with me, I will be the queen mother, and you will be the emperor. The emperor can have many concubines, but the emperor can only have one queen mother! ”
"Huh? Isn't there still a concubine? ”
"You dare!"
"Ah...... It hurts, how dare I...... If we can be together, why bother where we go? It's the same inside and outside the palace, and I still want to concentrate on accompanying you and having a lot of children with you! ”
"How can you have a baby with me in this situation!"
"Didn't I say that? You can still move above the knees, so if you don't believe me, I'll let you try it now. ”
"Ah, don't ......"
