In the early morning, when Shen Yuechen got up, it was not yet dawn, and it was pitch black outside the window.

She just got together, and Zhu Jintang beside her also woke up, Shen Yuechen insisted on letting him sleep a little longer, but Zhu Jintang refused, and sat up with his arms propped up.

Shen Yuechen freshened up first, and then came over to take care of him to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

The two of them cleaned up, and it was not yet dawn outside.

Shen Yuechen wanted to take care of Brother Xuan'er, so she got up early. But Zhu Jintang got up so early, but there was no need for it at all.

Zhu Jintang got up so early in order to see his father and Zhu Jinlun.

It has been so many days since the coup d'état in Beijing, and while the family is shocked, it is time for them to react and prepare.

Although Zhu Jintang was recuperating, when he came back to his senses, the first thought that flashed in his mind was to come up with a countermeasure to protect his family.

However, just before they could think of a foolproof solution, there was already movement in the capital.

After Li Huan ascended the throne, one after another decrees were issued like flowing water, first abolishing the emperor's title and changing "Da Zhou" to "Da Xi". Subsequently, there was another decree to demote Li Zheng, who was already in name only, to a commoner, to cancel all military power in his hands, and all the Praetorian Guards must leave for Beijing immediately.

Li Zheng was deposed, and the prince was also demoted to a concubine, and after the full moon, he had to leave the palace and send him to Qiuhong Temple, where he left the house.

Li Huan left the crown prince alive, not out of mercy, but for another reason.

Less than two days later, up and down the court, the civil and military ministers came to a big change.

In addition to the official title, the Jingguo Mansion has no title, and the palace can only be retained if it is remembered for meritorious service.

Saying so, in fact, it is no different from house arrest.

Those who originally supported Li Zheng, even if they had the intention of becoming inflammatory, were also removed from their official positions one by one. Shen Yuechen's father, Shen Zhiyun, was also implicated, and was demoted from the Jingguan of Zhengsipin to Jiupinzhi County.

And in the capital, people like him abound, and overnight, the dream of the capital was shattered.

Those once glorious officials have become down-and-out people in the blink of an eye, dragging their families out of the capital, and there are cars and horses and people coming and going, filling the avenues out of the city.

The news that should come has come, but there is no news from Ruan Linluo.

When Zhu Yuanlan heard these things, the expression on her face was full of panic, and she muttered to herself: "What about Niangniang?" What about the mother? ”

The old lady clenched her hand, "Calm down and wait for two more days, now it seems that no news is the best news." ”

Zhu Yuanlan listened to her mother's words, pursed her lips, and nodded her head slightly.

After the hour, the maid brought the decocted medicine, and Zhu Jintang picked it up and drank it, not feeling hot at all.

After dinner, he called Shen Yuechen aside and said in a deep tone, "I have something I want to discuss with you."

”

Seeing that he was so serious, Shen Yuechen hurriedly straightened his back slightly, and said, "Uncle say it." ”

Zhu Jintang gently stroked her hand and said in a slight mutter: "Today, I discussed it with my father and second brother a little, and decided to let you find a place to avoid the limelight first. ”

Shen Yuechen had long expected that he would have this plan, but when he really heard him say it, he still felt shocked and surprised as if he was unprepared.

Shen Yuechen moved his lips, but he didn't speak, just waiting for him to finish his words first.

"A lot of things have happened recently, so for the sake of safety, you and the children should find a place to take shelter and see how the situation goes. Let's take a long-term view and make a plan. ”

If the matter is not a last resort, Zhu Jintang will not open his mouth to say such a thing.

Shen Yuechen's first reaction was not to refuse, but to take a deep breath and say, "Does it have to be like this?" ”

Zhu Jintang patted her hand and said in a deep tone: "How many things are in the future?" No one could have predicted it, so the only way to do it right now is to make the most sense. ”

Shen Yuechen naturally didn't want to leave, but she couldn't rest assured that she would hand over the children to others.

"What about the uncle? Will the uncle come with us? ”

Zhu Jintang shook his head slightly: "My father and I will stay." I can't have no one at home to control the overall situation, and my current situation is not suitable for me to go out and travel. ”

Shen Yuechen's eyebrows furrowed when she heard this, she bit her lower lip lightly, and didn't speak for a long time.

The two looked at each other silently, as if they had a thousand words to say, but they didn't know where to start...... He saw the forbearant sadness on her face, and she saw the deep reluctance on his face.

Shen Yuechen is not a person without seriousness in his heart, the more times like this, the more he can't be rash. It is naturally important for the family to be together, but the children are still so young, and they can't help but plan for them.

Zhu Jintang was also reluctant in his heart, gently held her wrist, took her whole person into his arms, and silently felt the tumbling thoughts in her heart and was slightly sad.

The two of them sat snuggled up, fingers interlocked, quietly waiting for the dawn.

The days of getting together are always too short, too short. However, now that the matter has been decided, it is time to start preparing step by step. If you hesitate any more, you will only delay your efforts.

Shen Yuechen pondered all night, and the next morning, he called Chun Ming Cuixin to him and asked them to start preparing their luggage and packages.

When Chun Ming and Cui Xin heard this, they were both slightly stunned, shook their heads, and nodded yes.

Up and down the Zhu family, in addition to the old man and the old lady, the only people left behind were Zhu Feng and Zhu Jintang, father and son. The rest of the people are to go outside for a while.

Li Shi originally wanted to stay, but the old lady explained to her: "This will not be the time to be rash, how can Yuechen take care of four children alone?" The child is still young, so suddenly leaving home, there will be a lot of discomfort, you are good to take care of it, and when the limelight is over, things are over, and our family will have a reunion. ”

Li Shi listened to the old lady's persuasion, so he had to nod with tears.

There are indeed a lot of things to prepare, and it is said that the preparation is not complete in half a month. However, without further ado, the old man spoke, just let them keep everything simple, try to bring as many soft and silver tickets as possible, and the remaining large and cumbersome antique jade, just bring a few pieces, don't be too greedy, you have to bring everything, you have to take everything.

Money is an external thing, and human life is the most important thing. This will, they hide out to avoid the limelight, and the most important thing is to keep a low profile. Therefore, those things that are too conspicuous are the most unattainable, and if they are targeted by people with bad intentions, wouldn't it be even more troublesome.
