Today, fishing boats in Jiangcheng are prohibited.

Xiao Zhen knew that something unusual must have happened today, he was originally sitting in the fishing boat, ready to see why fishing was banned, but the officers and soldiers came early in the morning and cleared all the fishermen in the fishing boat.

When Xiao Zhen walked to the house, he saw the guards stationed in Jiangcheng walking towards the river, and he became more and more curious, what is this going to do?

When he returned to the house, there was nothing to do, so Xiao Zhen climbed onto the roof of his house, sat on the tile, and looked at the river.

After a while, I saw a luxurious official ship coming from the Hunjiang River, followed by a boat carrying soldiers.

It's just that it's really far away, and he can't see the situation on the official boat clearly, Xiao Zhen squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, until he saw Hu Zhuo and Shen Yuexi appear by the river, and then guessed that it could be the Seventh Prince, right?

Only when the Seventh Prince comes, Hu Zhuo and Shen Yuexi will come forward to greet him in person, and if it is someone else, the officials of Jiangcheng can receive it.

Xiao Zhen thought about it, and couldn't understand why the Seventh Prince suddenly came to visit, wasn't he incompatible with Hu Clumsy?

Xiao Zhen just sat on the roof and watched, watching the official ship finally arrive at the shore.

Holding Shen Yuexi's hand, he stood on the river bank together, quietly watching the official ship approach.

Waiting for the boat to approach the shore of Jiangcheng, Zhao Zheng walked out of the cabin, his feet were still incapacitated, so he put on crutches, and when he stood still and looked at the riverbank, he saw Shen Yuexi standing beside Hu, the river wind blew her long hair and skirt saw, many years later, she is still so beautiful.

Zhao Zheng let out a long breath, the moment he saw Shen Yuexi, the anxiety, worries, expectations, and resentment in his heart over the years had all been settled, and he became extremely calm, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Zhao Zheng went ashore and looked at Hu Zhuo and Shen Yuexi, their expressions were very subtle, and the etiquette was a little salty.

"It's not as good as Yuanjing, the conditions are limited, so I can only grieve the Seventh Prince to stay in the official residence." Hu Zhuo said to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng smiled, did not speak, and motioned to lead the way.

The group arrived at the official residence, where a sumptuous lunch was prepared. Zhao Zheng had no appetite, he was injured and bumped for a long time, and he saw that Shen Yuexi's heart was still floating in the air, so he didn't plan to eat with Hu, he just said that he wanted to take a break.

Hu Zhuo naturally knew that he and Zhao Zheng were not in a friendly relationship, and seeing each other today was nothing more than an obstacle to their respective identities, so he didn't force Zhao Zheng's respect, nor did he feel offended, smiled at Zhao Zheng, said a word of respect, and then left with Shen Yuexi.

From beginning to end, Shen Yuexi didn't say a word.

There are too many grievances between her and Zhao Zheng, and when they meet at this moment, they don't know where to start.

Zhao Zheng watched Shen Yuexi turn around indifferently, and felt a pain in his heart.

Once upon a time, they were an intimate couple, but nowadays, they are not even strangers.

For several days, Zhao Zheng did not see Hu Zhuo, he rested in the official residence for two days, and looked everywhere in Jiangcheng, this land was originally from Southern Xia, but now it is the territory of Northern Hu. These were all lost in his hands, and he was deeply ashamed.

Zhao Zheng didn't see him, and he and Shen Yuexi were not in a hurry, so they let him go.

When he saw that his hamstring was broken, his leg was crippled, and he stayed in his room since he returned. Zhicui was also sad because of this, she was not sad that she saw a broken leg, but that he was so tough in the past, but now he locked himself in the house, how sad he should be.

Zhicui made a separate meal every day and gave it to Jianshan, and Jianshan took the food box silently every time, and didn't say much.

Zhicui became more and more sad, often in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Jianshan is not an ordinary person, the injury is nothing to him, what he minds is that his foot is broken, and he will not be able to continue to stay in the elite guard in the future, that is where he has been for more than ten years, and now he suddenly stopped, naturally he will be a little uncomfortable." Shen Yuexi said to Zhicui.

Zhicui nodded, "Then how can I help him?" ”

"No need to help, just wait for him to figure it out for himself."

Oh, Zhicui nodded again and sighed.

"Jianshan's foot is broken, do you dislike him?" Shen Yuexi asked Zhicui.

Zhicui hurriedly waved his hand, "He's a good person, whether he's missing an arm or a leg, he's still a good person, how can I dislike him." ”

"That's good, Jianshan has to leave the Jingwei now, and the matter between you and him has dragged on for so long, and now you finally have an eyebrow." Shen Yuexi said.

Hearing Shen Yuexi talk about this, Zhicui was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, this matter is on me, you should have a result after waiting for this, there is a saying called blessing in disguise, maybe it is not appropriate to use it here, but I think it is a good thing for you." Shen Yuexi said again.

Zhicui's head lowered even deeper, but the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

Shen Yuexi didn't say anything anymore, but she was a little puzzled in her heart, seeing that the mountain hurt Zhao Zheng's hamstring, although it was not broken, it would take time to heal, and walking after healing might not be as usual, but Zhao Zheng didn't kill him, but just broke Jianshan's hamstring, which can be regarded as his kindness.

However, he came to Jiangcheng, and for so many days, he has not met with Huzhuo, what is he going to do?

On the day when Shen Yuexi was puzzled, he suddenly received a message from Zhao Zheng, he wanted to see her, alone.

Shen Yuexi held the prayer post, thinking, at this moment, the grievances between them should also have an end.

Zhao Zheng's appointment location is in Jiangcheng Restaurant, Jiangcheng Restaurant is close to the Hunjiang River, the environment is elegant, you can see the Hunjiang River and the vast scenery of the distant mountains when you open the window, maybe he has been around Jiangcheng in the past few days, and thinks it is good here, so he will make an appointment here.

Suddenly not in the mansion, Shen Yuexi thought about it, and felt that there would be no danger in meeting Zhao Zheng in the restaurant, so he took a few guards with him.

Zhao Zheng had already booked a private room, pushed open the door, and he was the only one inside.

He looked at the guards behind Shen Yuexi and smiled, "Are you so wary of me now?" ”

Shen Yuexi didn't answer, turned her head and motioned for the guards to wait for her outside.

Then, she walked into the private room alone.

It was a large private room, and there was a tea table near the window, Zhao Zheng pointed to the opposite position, and made a gesture to Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi sat down, turned her head to look out of the window, at this moment in the middle of summer, the river outside the window is surging, the green shade is like the sea, as far as the eye can see, majestic and magnificent, and the beauty is shocking.

Zhao Zheng also sat down and personally poured a cup of tea for Shen Yuexi, "I remember that you used to love to drink flower tea, so I asked the store for lotus tea, you can try it." ”

Shen Yuexi picked up the teacup and took a small sip gently, except for a faint fragrance, there was no side taste, but the light taste was like a sweet rain, and he only felt that it went down his throat and into his abdomen, and he soaked all his internal organs.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you, but you're still as beautiful as ever." Zhao Zheng looked at Shen Yuexi and said.

"Seventh Prince, you are the same as back then."

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this polite words, "How can I still be the same as back then, I already have gray hair on my temples." ”

Shen Yuexi looked at Zhao Zheng, his temples did have some gray hair, and he had a lot of vicissitudes.

"Strictly speaking, you are still my seventh princess, and our marriage book is still there." Seeing that Shen Yuexi didn't speak, Zhao Zheng said.

Hearing this, Shen Yuexi couldn't help but show a helpless smile: "You are wrong Seventh Master, I have never been your Seventh Princess, have you forgotten?" On the paper wedding book, the name of the hundred years with you is Yue Xi, and I am Shen Yuexi, maybe it was destined from the beginning, our fate is like morning dew, fleeting. ”

Ha, Shen Yuexi's words made Zhao Zheng laugh, he laughed at the absurdity of world affairs, and also laughed at the destination of world things.

"So, looking back, there is nothing worth remembering?" Zhao Zheng asked.

Shen Yuexi's eyes looked out the window again, "Do you know?" At one point, I wanted to kill you to avenge my brother, and the nostalgic memories between us have long since been drowned out by the hatred that followed. ”

Hearing Shen Yuexi's words, Zhao Zheng took out a dagger from his arms and put it in front of Shen Yuexi, "If you want to avenge Shen Yi, I will fulfill you." ”

Zhao Zheng's expression was calm and frank, he would rather die at the hands of Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi stared at the dagger, if she had witnessed her brother's tragic situation five years ago, she would not hesitate to insert this dagger into Zhao Zheng's chest, but now, when Zhao Zheng really sat in front of her, with a face of the vicissitudes of time, a deep line between his eyebrows, indicating that he often frowned, and he was not happy all these years.

Shen Yuexi suddenly had no heart for revenge, she just felt tired, resentful of these entangled grievances.

"Why did you kill him, he was your best friend in his youth, how can you do it?" Shen Yuexi stared at the dagger and asked coldly.

Things have changed, Zhao Zheng thought about it, why did he kill Shen Yi? Is it because of his hatred for Shen Yuexi that he is angry with Shen Yi? Was it the demonic hand that covered his heart? Anyway, at that time, Shen Yi had to die.

But looking back five years later, it all feels like a dream.

"Over the years, I often go to Yunyou Temple to listen to Hui Neng lectures, in order to resolve more and more confusion in my heart, people will not get more after reaching the peak of power, but will deviate more and more from the original intention, I thought that having the supreme power will better protect you, but you left me, I thought that the power in my hands can let me do whatever I want, but then I found that I was tightly bound by power, the laughter and beauty of the world, are far away from me, I live for power every day, I don't know who I am anymore? You asked me why I killed Shen Yi, and now I can't explain the past me. After Zhao Zheng said this call, a blank look appeared on his face.

In front of Shen Yuexi, he clearly revealed his vulnerability, he was lonely, and he needed redemption.
