Shen Wan didn't have a chance to say goodbye to Shen Lan, but she knew that her brother would definitely have something to achieve here, although she was reluctant, but she couldn't bear to see her brother imprisoned. In any case, the parting now is only for a longer reunion in the future.

It's just that Princess Zhenyin didn't understand what she meant, and only thought that it was done intentionally by Xichen, and after Xichen retreated, she rushed straight into Shangyang Palace and scolded Xichen angrily: "Fourth brother, we are brothers and sisters born to compatriots, and what flows in our bodies is the common blood of the first emperor and the queen mother." But why won't you let me live? There are no eyes on the battlefield, if the horse has three long and two short, I will kill myself in front of you! ”

Shen Wan served tea on the side, listened in a daze, looked at Xichen, and stopped talking to Zhen Yin. But he was stopped by Xichen, and he said lightly: "Since I became the emperor, I want to benefit the people, you are all my closest relatives, and you will naturally live better." But somebody, there are always people who want to kill themselves in front of me, what does this mean? ”

Zhen Yin was stunned, Shen Wan was also speechless, he was going to use force on himself that day, and she seemed to have said this.

Unable to get an answer from Xichen, Zhenyin sent a fire and left. Shen Wan hesitated and said, "I'll go and explain to the second sister-in-law." ”

Xichen said: "No need, she hates me very much, she may not believe your explanation, not to mention that if she is angry with you, it will be even worse." ”

Shen Wan listened to him speak completely for her own consideration, and she couldn't help but feel grateful, but when she thought of the tragic death of the Shen family, hatred melted a trace of warmth in her heart and turned into a wisp of ice.

Shen Lan went to the battlefield, Zhen Yin moved back to the palace to live, it happened that the day of the Yuan Lantern Festival, the palace was busy during the day, she came to see Shen Wan.

After asking a few words that he was still used to, he was speechless, so he could only hold Shen Wan's hand and weep silently.

Shen Wan smiled and said softly: "I haven't congratulated the second sister-in-law yet, the emperor has appointed you as the eldest princess of Pingyang." ”

Zhen Yin's face darkened, and she snorted coldly: "What kind of eldest princess's false title, I am not uncommon!" Afraid that Shen Wan would be embarrassed, she said angrily: "Ah Wan, it's rare that you still recognize me as a second sister-in-law." ”

Shen Wan said: "Why don't you admit it? You will always be my second sister-in-law and the wife of my second brother. ”

Zhenyin held her hand, speechless.

Shen Wan said again: "You don't have to worry about the second brother's affairs, he is on the battlefield better than him being imprisoned." ”

Zhenyin sighed and said, "I also figured it out, instead of letting him be detained and depressed, it is better to let him do what he likes." Ah Wan, do you remember, did I choose your second brother that year, for something? ”

Shen Wan thought for a moment and asked, "But because of a sentence?" ”

Zhen Yin nodded and said: "Yes, when you went hunting that year, you had to go deep in the dense forest, you didn't worry about your second brother, and persuaded him not to go, but he said at the time, 'If you encounter a beast, you will go, is it still called hunting?'" I thought he was a responsible man, and now it seems that I did not choose the wrong man. ”

Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, and only said, "Don't worry, the second brother will be safe." ”

The Queen Mother came to find Zhenyin, so she went, and Shen Wan was distraught, so she had to go back to her room to rest.

In the evening, the Queen Mother held a banquet in Shou'an Palace, and Shen Wan did not have to go, so she could only walk along the palace wall alone.

There were old palace people lighting lamps one by one, and she followed silently, feeling that although the candle flame was very close, it had no warmth.

Unconsciously walked into the back garden, there are more palace lights here, more beautiful, full of tricks, and many palace maids and eunuchs who have nothing to do are here to watch the lights.

The more people there are, the more lonely Shen Wan feels.

Simply quietly walked to the lake and watched for someone to put the river lantern.

I didn't expect the night of the palace to be so lively, in the past...... In the past, I used to go to Dongshi with my brother to play, and there were many talents at that time! One year, the princes also sneaked out of the palace, and they were greedy until the palace gate was locked, and the people in the palace went crazy to find it, and even the emperor was alarmed, and he just said: "You don't have to look for it, you must be in the Prime Minister's Mansion." "Send someone to see, and the three princes are really there.

The river lantern drifted farther and farther away, and the silence around her became.

Until someone called her behind her, she turned around and saw Xia Wenze in silver armor.

This is also a lonely person!

His expression was a little surprised, and he asked in a low voice, "Miss Shen, why are you crying?" ”

Is it crying? She raised her hand and touched her upper cheek, which was wet and really cried.

He pondered for a long time and said, "It's windy here, so Miss should go back early!" ”

He didn't seem to say anything else, Shen Wan smiled faintly, a little bitter: "I'll leave in a while, the general is on duty today, it's hard." ”

Xia Wenze nodded at her and left with the guards behind him.

For some reason, seeing her crying, there was a faint pain somewhere.

In his memory, she should be a person who doesn't know the taste of tears, but now she has changed so much and become so lonely.

Xia Wenze didn't go far with the guards, just bypassed a rockery, but suddenly heard someone calling for help: "Come on, someone's overboard!" ”

His heart jumped wildly, and without waiting for the guards to react, he quickly rushed to the place where Shen Wan was standing just now - there was no one, there were light-colored ribbons floating on the water, he didn't want to, and jumped into the water with all his might.
