As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Shen Yanyu, the third highness of Ji Yu Kingdom, had already gotten up. The maidservants who were around him were extra cautious because they didn't know the preferences of the new master. After a busy day, Shen Yanyu finally finished this morning's grooming and dressing work. While buttoning the buttons on the cuffs, while pacing in front of the carved floor-to-ceiling mirror, Shen Yanyu looked at his clothes through the mirror.

Under the bright candlelight, the dim dressing mirror reflected Shen Yanyu's not clear but very upright figure. With red phoenix eyes, black pupils, thin eyebrows, a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, and a round and bearded face, Shen Yanyu looks like a white-faced scholar. Fu took his eyes off the mirror again, and Shen Yanyu looked down at his outfit. A sauce-red robe wrapped in gold thread was wrapped in milky white clothes, and was restrained by a black dark belt around the waist, which was neither wide nor narrow, looking calm and noble. Carrying this crown of pure gold on his head shows the dignity of his master even more. After reading it, Shen Yanyu waved his wide sleeves in the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror and let out a chuckle.

Who would have thought that the hands of such a white-faced scholar had been stained with the blood of tens of thousands of people!

Attending the court meeting in such a well-dressed manner will take less than two months. For many years before, although Shen Yanyu's father had always been the actual ruler of Ji Yu State, until he captured the palace of Zhou Rao State, the Shen family was still the powerful family of Ji Yu State. After occupying the royal city of Zhou Rao, Shen Yanyu's father replaced the dynasty and brought the capital of Ji Yu from the city of Zhuri to the current place. Now Shen Yanyu is tired of this kind of life. The current state is not in line with what he had envisioned, and in some respects it can even be called very different. Shen Yanyu frowned, trying to figure out why.

I don't know how long it took, Shen Yanyu, who was deep in thought, suddenly had a stirring spirit and locked the hands that others stretched into his waist. After discovering that this was a pair of delicate women's hands, Shen Yanyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Letting go and turning around, Shen Yanyu saw a familiar face as he wished.

"Auntie, did you get up so early?"

As soon as he saw his aunt who raised him, Shen Yanyu's face was full of joy.

In other words, the father of Shen Yanyu - Shen Yufeng - was originally the general of this Ji Yu country, and he fought on the battlefield in his early years. The people who are in the army are not very particular, and they have been fighting for many years and their serious wives are less together and more separated. As a result, General Shen Yufeng, who has been away for many years, has a lot of women. If there are more women, there will be more children. It's a pity, I don't know if the sin of the war came too quickly, and General Shen's family also suffered. originally had five sons and four daughters, but now there are only three sons and one daughter left. The original wives and concubines were in groups, and after General Shen became emperor, there were only three women left who were now three years old.

Judging from the age of the children who are still alive, Shen Yanyu, who has just turned twenty-five, is the youngest child of His Majesty today. There is also an eldest sister and two older brothers above him. The four brothers and sisters are from four mothers, the eldest sister is from the mother-in-law, and the mothers of the two elder brothers are also alive. Shen Yanyu's biological mother was the eldest lady of a landlord's family, who died of dystocia. So the youngest Shen Yanyu was the biggest accident. Shen Yanyu, who has lost his mother since birth, if he hadn't won the eyes of his aunt, who is the emperor's sister today, and was held by his aunt's side, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago. For Shen Yanyu, his aunt has been his mother since he was a child.

Seeing that her nephew turned around, Shen Yanyu's aunt squeezed her fist and lightly hammered Shen Yanyu a few times, with a look of hatred on her face.

"Where did Dou Jiang (Shen Yanyu's nickname) go to eat last night? Drunk that you can't even walk? Thanks to the fact that the place where you slept on the floor was close to your aunt's house, you would still be lying on the street! As a prince, you have done such a ridiculous thing, if the ministers know about it, you will feel good! ”

Shen Mei, the eldest princess of Ji Yuguo, who was anxious about her nephew, couldn't help but think in pieces.

"Minister, huh. Two months ago, I was the son of a general, and I was never afraid of them. Now, my father, my father, is in a big treasure, and there are many ministers who are not convinced. No matter how good I do, they can find faults. In that case, let them do whatever they want! Looking back at the beheading of a few leaders, they will gradually understand that the current day is the Shen family. Shen Yanyu replied with a look of self-esteem.

"You~" The eldest princess, who was originally full of worries, suddenly relaxed after hearing "Shen Family World", her face was only spoiled, and she nodded her nephew's forehead with her hand and continued: "Although this is the case, you should also be cautious. Your father and emperor have always paid attention to physique and reputation, and in the past two months, you have been involved by these ministers. Now is the time to be careful。。。。。。 ”

While speaking, the eldest princess saw that the accessories on Shen Yanyu's waist were a little messy, so she naturally sorted them out for Shen Yanyu. Of course, you still have to continue to nag while tidying up.

Shen Yanyu listened to her aunt's nagging very good-naturedly. After waiting for a while, when the eldest princess was panting, Shen Yanyu held the eldest princess's hand and said softly: "What my aunt taught me is that my nephew will never dare to get drunk again in the future, and he will definitely not do such a foolish thing in the future." Shen Yanyu said while snatching the accessories from her aunt's hand, "These trivial things to tidy up, my nephew can do it himself, and I don't have to bother my aunt." ”

The eldest princess knew that Shen Yanyu didn't want her to talk anymore, so she stopped nagging. However, he didn't let go of Shen Yanyu's accessories.

"Fighting general, you also know that my aunt has never been able to have a son and a half daughter in her life. When he brought you from your father's side, he treated you as his own child. Not only me, but also your uncle's heart. So, don't dislike your aunt's nagging, aunt it's all for your own good. As the saying goes, basket weaving is expensive, and we can advance but not retreat at this critical moment. Also~ In recent years, you have been away all year round and spent the night at your aunt's house, which is simply a handful. My aunt always felt like something was missing from this family. ”

As soon as Shen Yanyu saw her aunt mention the matter of having no children and no daughters, she was very obedient and no longer stopped the eldest princess from doing things for him. Seeing this, the eldest princess secretly happily continued to pick up clothes for Shen Yanyu. The two are surrounded by the affection between the child and the loving mother. However, this beautiful and quiet family moment was soon broken.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" A series of hurried calls came from outside the dormitory. As the call grew louder, the sound of armor and swords clashing became more pronounced. Looking out from the entrance of the temple, you can see that the person who came was dressed in heavy gray armor and had a long sword pinned to his waist. Although the uniform on his body is heavy, the person who comes walks very lightly, and at a glance he knows that he is a good hand in the army. Walking to the front of the palace gate, the person who came bowed to Shen Yanyu and gave a military salute. After seeing the eldest princess next to Shen Yanyu, the visitor knelt on his knees again and made a standard bow again.

"The eldest princess is well. Your Highness is well. ”

Although the eldest princess was born in Jiangmen, she attaches great importance to physique. At the moment when he heard the shout, he frowned slightly, and when he saw the person who came, his brow furrowed even more seriously. If it weren't for the fact that outsiders from the palace had followed Shen Yanyu for ten years, and it seemed that there was something very important, the eldest princess might have cured him of a crime of disrespect a long time ago.

"What's so alarming?"

Shen Yanyu knew the likes and dislikes of the eldest princess very well, and was afraid that the eldest princess would reproach her entourage, so she took the lead in asking.

After hearing His Royal Highness's question, Changlai raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yanyu, and was about to open his mouth to reply, but when he thought that the eldest princess was also there, he shut up again. When the eldest princess saw this, she knew that she didn't want her to hear it. But the longer it goes, the more worried the eldest princess becomes. His nephew doesn't even shy away from military affairs, and now he has been acting like this, which shows that it is not a military matter, so what can make Changlai so panicked?

Seeing that the eldest princess had no intention of leaving, Changlai lowered his head and replied sullenly: "Back to Your Highness, princess, the tomb of Princess Yueyin - it was found by the brothers." ”

Such a fluttering sentence made the two noble masters in the hall change their voices. Shen Yanyu's face was full of lovelessness, while the eldest princess looked at her nephew with an anxious face. The hall, which was originally warm, instantly became stormy.

Shen Yanyu, who had a dull pain in his heart, closed his eyes first, and after adjusting his breathing, he opened his eyes and looked at Changlai and reluctantly asked, "Is the news - the news is reliable?" ”

A simple sentence seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds to Shen Yanyu. Months of anticipation have finally come to fruition today, but the result is not as good as not. Shen Yanyu's heart kept echoing: "Dead, she's really dead." Why did you die? ”

Since he replied, he tried to narrow down his sense of existence for a long time, and when he saw that his master asked again, he had to reply stubbornly: "The little one is afraid that the news is wrong, so he has ordered someone to open the tomb first to find out." Inside the tomb was a young woman whose body had been somewhat decomposed. Judging from the way he dresses, he is a very high-status person; The body shape is also similar to that of Princess Moonyin; The most important thing is that she was buried with Princess Yueyin's dagger and this hairpin jade hairpin. ”

Wang Changlai came to speak, and carefully took out a delicate jade hairpin from his cuff. And the moment Shen Yanyu saw the jade hairpin, he stepped forward regardless of it, and dodged the jade hairpin with his hand. Because he was very fast, his consciousness was a little ethereal, and he didn't stand firmly, and as soon as he got the jade hairpin, Shen Yanyu knelt down in front of Changlai.

Seeing this, Changlai and the eldest princess went to help Shen Yanyu one after another. Shen Yanyu, who was helped up, seemed to be isolated from the world, but repeated repeatedly: "It's hers, it's really hers。。。。。。 ”

After a small half cup of tea, the mania in Shen Yanyu's eyes slowly receded, although he was regained and awake, but grief and despair were overwhelming. "Where? Where is she? Her-graveyard-"

"What if you know where you are?" The eldest princess's calm voice forcibly interrupted Shen Yanyu's questioning. Holding Shen Yanyu's hands that were already frozen like a dead man, the eldest princess continued: "Dou General, she is dead!" Even if you find her grave, she won't survive. The suffering you have suffered in the past six months, the bitterness in your heart, my aunt knows it, and I think the smart Yin'er also knows it. But Dou General, even if you toss yourself half to death, Yin'er won't come back, will you? ”

When Shen Yanyu heard the words "can't come back", she instantly turned her head angrily and glared at the eldest princess. The eldest princess was first taken aback by Shen Yanyu's anger, but she didn't flinch, and still looked at Shen Yanyu calmly. After a while, Shen Yanyu gradually calmed down, and turned his head to look at the hairpin in his hand again.

How could he not know that Yueyin was dead? Yueyin committed suicide in his arms in the first place. However, because Yueyin finally fell into the waterfall, he did not find Yueyin's body, and Shen Yanyu refused to believe the fact that Yueyin was dead.

The eldest princess, who was familiar with the past of her nephew and Princess Yueming, looked at her nephew who was trembling with grief and held back tears. She had cursed God countless times because the pair had been separated. Since Yueyin's death, watching Shen Yanyu's behavior of torturing herself, the eldest princess realized the despair of grief to the extreme. Even when she learned that she couldn't have children, she didn't experience this feeling. But now I feel it in my nephew. This made Princess Da even more sad.

"Fighter, do you remember her wish? Before her death, how much she hoped to end the strife on the mainland and give the people of the world a peaceful and prosperous era. Now, there is nothing to comfort her heavenly spirit more than fulfilling her last wish. Right? ~If you want to fulfill her last wish, you need to get more power. The eldest princess cupped Shen Yanyu's cheek, stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction and said, "The throne there is the cornerstone for realizing Yin'er's wish." You have to get it. And to get that throne, you have to be careful to cater to the royal brother's heart. Dou General, you can't make a wrong step now! ”

The eldest princess persuaded Shen Yanyu earnestly, but his nephew didn't want to hear it at all now.

"Where is she?" Shen Yanyu looked blankly at the direction of Changlai and asked softly.

Seeing that her nephew refused to listen to persuasion, the eldest princess hurriedly signaled to Changlai with her eyes and asked him to shut up. But Changlai is Shen Yanyu's subordinate after all, and it is his duty to obey orders, and he can't disobey Shen Yanyu's orders no matter what. Gritting his teeth, he replied angrily: "On the banks of the Tsing Yi River." ”

After hearing Tsing Yi Jiang, Shen Yanyu's whole person instantly seemed to return to his senses, broke free from the arms of the eldest princess, and ran out of the palace without looking back. Seeing this, Changlai kowtowed to the eldest princess, and then got up to chase Shen Yanyu. In the hall, only the eldest princess was so angry that she stomped her feet, leaning on the palace door and anxious.
