135 Rebellion for the Throne
"What about the Seventh Master?" Shen Yuexi asked again.
"The seventh master has been in the study." Zhou's mother replied.
"Then you go down first, I want to rest for a while."
Zhou's mother retreated. Shen Yuexi leaned on the couch, in a daze.
At dinner, Zhao Zheng came out of the study, Shen Yuexi glanced at Zhao Zheng's face, he was as calm as before.
The dinner was specially made by Zhou's mother for Shen Yuexi, who had a good appetite and ate a lot.
Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi finished their meal in silence, without communication, without eyes or words.
After dinner, Zhao Zheng went out. I haven't been back for a long time.
Shen Yuexi sent Zhou's mother to inquire about Zhao Zheng's whereabouts, saying that she had gone to the opera garden to listen to the play.
"Seventh Princess, you are pregnant at the moment, the Seventh Prince must be afraid that you will be tired before going by yourself, don't worry about it." Zhou's mother was still fast-talking, and she said what she thought of in her heart.
"yes, I don't like to listen to dramas either, and it gives me a headache when I listen to it." Shen Yuexi replied casually.
Then, Shen Yuexi didn't think about it anymore, she wanted to give Zhao Zheng time to digest and accept it. No matter what Zhao Zheng does to her in the future, she should face it, because from beginning to end, Zhao Zheng is not wrong.
And now what worries Shen Yuexi the most is her brother Shen Yi, the queen mother asked her to come back and wait for news, but you can know that every minute and every second of waiting is torment.
But there is no way but to wait.
After waiting like this for two days, there was still no news in the palace, and Shen Yuexi couldn't sit still, but Zhao Zheng was still calm.
Shen Yuexi wanted to ask Zhao Zheng, but swallowed back the words a few times. Between her and Zhao Zheng, it is no longer the same as before, and she can have nothing to say without any worries.
It's really strange, since she became the seventh princess, she has more things to worry about.
knew that this was the case, and it was better to recognize Zhao Zheng as a righteous brother.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi smiled helplessly. This is the end of the matter, and there is no turning around. The choice of life is really a choice that changes the direction of destiny.
Five days have passed, and there is still no news from the palace.
Although there is no news of Shen Yi's release, there is no news of Shen Yi's execution, so Shen Yuexiquan should be good news.
Ten days later, there was still no news from the palace.
Tilt returned to the palace.
The dinner that Tan'er came back was used with Zhao Zheng and Shen Yuexi, and after a few months of separation, Tan'er and Zhao Zheng were already very strange. The father and daughter, who were not very close to them before, are even stranger now.
Tilting was a little cautious when eating, and the nurse who was feeding Tilt'er on the side was even more angry.
While eating, Qian'er suddenly asked Zhao Zheng: "Father, where is my mother?" ”
This was also something that Shen Yuexi wanted to know, so she raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng still ate calmly, and said lightly: "Your mother will not return to the palace, from now on, the princess will be your mother." ”
Hearing this, she was a little aggrieved and a little timid, she glanced at Shen Yuexi, and her eyes were not friendly.
"I want my mother, I want my own mother." Tilt said again.
Tilt is five years old, not a babbling baby, you can stuff a mother for her casually, and she readily accepts it.
"Your mother is the seventh princess, from now on, you have to remember this." Zhao Zheng looked at Qian'er, and his tone was very stern.
Tilting her mouth and wanted to cry, but she didn't dare, she looked aggrieved, but she still asked, "Is my mother dead?" ”
She remembered the last thing she saw in her eyes, several people broke into the courtyard where they lived, killed the man with a knife, and then walked up to her mother with a knife, and the man raised the knife...... Someone reached out to cover her eyes, and she only heard her mother's screams.
She was carried out of that house, and the road was bumpy for a long time, and the sky was dark and bright, and bright and dark, and then, she returned to the palace, where everything was the same, but there was no longer her own mother.
Zhao Zheng didn't answer, put down his chopsticks, and left Tengchong Courtyard.
At the dining table, only Shen Yuexi and Qian'er were left, and Tian'er stared at Shen Yuexi with big eyes and looked at Shen Yuexi vigilantly.
Shen Yuexi looked at Qian'er, this little girl was carved with jade, which was really pitiful.
"It's a good meal, when you're older, maybe your mother will come back." Shen Yuexi couldn't bear it, so she said this.
"You liar, my mother is dead, she was killed." But Tend'er didn't appreciate it.
Hearing this, the nurse's hand holding the rice bowl trembled.
"People are going to die." Shen Yuexi sighed slightly in her heart, and no longer tried to comfort her, anyway, she was born in the royal family, so she was destined to have many fewer family relatives, and now that her father sent someone to kill her mother, she still has more things to face in the future.
"Then why didn't you die, my father didn't die, but my mother died?" Tilt asked again.
This kind of question really doesn't look like a five-year-old child asking.
Shen Yuexi smiled, "I'll die too, sooner or later." ”
She didn't speak, but she didn't eat anymore, and she turned her head to the side as she looked at the food that the nurse fed.
"Have you eaten enough?" Shen Yuexi asked.
Tilt jumped off the chair and walked out of Tengchong Courtyard.
The nurse hurriedly put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, hurriedly gave Shen Yuexi a salute, and prepared to chase out.
"You," Shen Yuexi called out to the nurse, and the nurse hurriedly turned around and responded, "In the future, you should be careful when serving by the county lord's side, it is good to be quick with your hands and feet, and for the rest, you will become a mute, a blind, and a deaf, you know?" ”
"The slave has written it down." The nurse hurriedly responded, only to feel a fine layer of cold sweat on her back.
Then the nurse chased after her.
In the room, Shen Yuexi was the only one left, looking at a table of food that didn't need much, and also put down his chopsticks. No appetite.
But I want to drink fish soup. It's delicious, and it's going to drool just thinking about it.
Shen Yuexi asked Zhicui to tell Zhou's mother to do it.
By the time the fish soup was ready, it was already nearly an hour. When it was served, Shen Yuexi only took a sip, and then felt that the fishy smell was unpleasant and disgusting.
After a while of retching, I drank flower tea, and then I got better.
After tossing for a while, Shen Yuexi fell on the couch tiredly, "What about the seventh master?" ”
"I went out, and I didn't tell the porter where I went." Zhicui replied.
During these days, Shen Yuexi often asked about Zhao Qiye's whereabouts, so every time Zhao Zheng went out, she would ask people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Seventh Prince early, in case Shen Yuexi asked.
"Isn't it time to take a few concubines for the Seventh Princess?" Shen Yuexi said to herself.
Zhicui didn't know how to answer this question, so she had to pretend that she hadn't heard it.
When Zhao Zheng came back, it was already late at night, and Shen Yuexi hadn't slept yet.
"Where have you been?" Shen Yuexi asked, when she got closer, she smelled the wine on Zhao Zheng's body, "Let Mother Zhou help you make some hangover soup." ”
"No, I don't drink much." Zhao Zheng said softly.
"Seventh Master, you have been wandering outside a lot lately, so you should pay attention to your body." Shen Yuexi said calmly again.
"Just going out for a few drinks, don't think about it."
"I didn't think much about it, I'm pregnant now, I can't serve you, and the Queen Mother also hopes that you will take more concubines and add more ...... to the palace."
"You don't have to worry about these things."
Shen Yuexi had to say no more, but she really couldn't wait for her brother Shen Yi's matter.
"That day in Fushou Palace, the Queen Mother asked me to come back and wait for news, now more than ten days have passed, I don't know if there is any news in the palace, how is my brother Shen Yi now?"
"Shen Yi will not die, as for how to deal with it, the emperor has not spit these days." Zhao Zheng said.
Shen Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, thinking to herself that since the Seventh Prince had already known, why didn't he tell himself earlier.
"These days, I have met with some people to inquire about the news, and I will tell you if there is news in the future, don't worry too much." Zhao Zheng said while changing into his bedclothes.
Only then did Shen Yuexi know that the reason why Zhao Zheng went out frequently during this period of time was to help her inquire about the news of her brother Shen Yi, and she couldn't help but feel grateful and guilty.
"What's the worst that can happen?" Shen Yuexi asked.
"Prison for the rest of his life." Zhao Zheng said.
Without freedom, staying in a dark prison for the rest of your life is worse than death.
However, Shen Yuexi is not in a hurry, as long as Shen Yi's life is saved first, there will always be a way to rescue him in the future.
But all of this is Zhao Zheng's words to comfort Shen Yuexi, Shen Yi's matter is not simple, because the emperor will not let him go so easily.
First, the emperor wanted to frustrate Zhao Zheng's spirit, and secondly, Shen Yuexi and Shen Yi, a pair of brothers and sisters, there must always be one who will be punished, and the emperor let Shen Yuexi go, because she is now pregnant with the seventh princess, then Shen Yi will be a little unlucky, and carry those sins for Shen Yuexi, who will make him the male of the Shen family.
But Zhao Zheng couldn't tell Shen Yuexi about these things, for fear that she would be in a hurry and break her body. He can only find someone to mediate, little by little.

"Lao Qi has been walking around a lot these days, and he is quite enthusiastic for the sake of Shen Yi." In the palace, Zhao Guang said to Sun Delu.
"After all, he is the elder brother of the Seventh Princess, and the Seventh Princess is now pregnant again, and the Seventh Master takes care of the Seventh Princess's body, so he naturally has to bear more." Sun Delu said.
"Then why didn't he just come and ask me, beg me?" Zhao Guang snorted coldly.
"The Seventh Master should also be afraid that you are busy with state affairs and it is inconvenient to disturb you."
"Shen Yi can't let it go, he has hatred for Nanxia, and he is good friends with Lao Qi, if he is released, who knows what he will do, let him live in prison for the rest of his life, this is already the biggest compromise I can make." Zhao Guang said.
"The emperor is merciful." Sun Delu said in passing.
"Lao Qi has always been introverted and low-key, looking at the world, but he didn't expect that once he started doing things, there were still many people available." What Zhao Guang really cares about is this.
"The Seventh Prince is your younger brother, and everyone is just giving the emperor face." Sun Delu smiled.
"My face, the seventh is also handy to use."
Sun Delu lowered his head and stopped talking.
"You said that these seven princesses are too, if they are not pregnant in the morning or late, but they are pregnant at this time, and the queen mother also came to help her intercede, but now no one cares about the fact that she is the daughter of Shen Qingshan, and they are all looking forward to her adding Ding Tianwang to the Kangping Palace." Zhao Guang thought about it and began to complain again.
