Chapter 161: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne
Therefore, after Shen Jingcheng was reborn, the first thing he did when he had the manpower was to send people everywhere to look for the couple who didn't know if it was his parents, and it wasn't until the year before the death of the prince that someone found the man and woman.
Shen Jingcheng didn't tell Gu Jin how to ask the couple, but the result was to get the real answer.
Yes, Shen Jingcheng was indeed secretly replaced by that woman back then, and he was the real eldest son of the crown prince.
As soon as the crown princess died, the woman saw that the prince was not interested in him, so she quietly replaced him with her own son, and the eldest son of the prince who died at a young age in the palace was actually the son of the couple. It was also because their real son died that the two hated Shen Jingcheng and thought that their son died for him.
But Shen Jingcheng's identity is special after all, the two of them didn't dare to kill Shen Jingcheng too, so they directly threw him in his hometown, who was not sensible back then, and the two immigrated to other places with their own children.
After learning the truth of the matter, Shen Jingcheng also felt that it was indeed because the two of them stole him out that he lost his life at a young age, so he didn't do anything to the couple, but directly sent the two of them into the mountains together with the children they gave birth to later, and then the imperial grandson who wanted to use him in the future.
But after knowing that he was the eldest son of the crown prince, Shen Jingcheng was in a mixed mood, at that time, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng had not yet become a real husband and wife, and Shen Jingcheng was afraid that telling her the truth would scare her away, so he never said it.
After all, his status is special and somewhat dangerous.
It wasn't until now that Shen Jingcheng wanted to settle grievances in case the things of his previous life happened again, so he told her the truth.
As for why Shen Jingcheng didn't stop or return to his position when the crown prince died, Shen Jingcheng said, Just because the prince immediately sealed his beloved side concubine as the main concubine after the death of the crown princess, so that the imperial grandson also became a concubine, and then let the fake eldest son die at the age of four, he can know that the prince doesn't care as much about his eldest son as he seems on the surface.
Since that man didn't have that much kindness toward him, and he didn't want to leave that position to him, he didn't have to freely spread his kindness and ask for something he didn't despise.
The royal family is ruthless, he just wants to live a normal life with her, not go to the palace to live a deceitful life.
Thinking of Shen Jingcheng when he said this, he was cautiously afraid that she would think he was ruthless and would not want him, Gu Jin couldn't help but feel sad.
How so?
She has such cold parents, and she herself has it, isn't she herself hiding far away? Don't you care about the life and death of those people at all, and you can't wait to have nothing to do with each other?
Moreover, although she didn't know what kind of life she should live as a royal person, she was very repulsed just by hearing about the chaos of the royal family, and the war that was being experienced now because of the rivalry between the two emperors.
Yes, she doesn't want to live like that, she just needs the family to be safe for the rest of her life.
As for the royal battle, who loses and who wins, what does it matter to her and Shen Jingcheng?
What's more, Shen Jingcheng said that after King Ning'an took the throne, he governed the country quite well, and even expanded the country, so why did they bother to wade into this troubled water again?
Time slipped away quietly in the sleepless night that Gu Jin was worried about. Until late one night, when Gu Jin was drowsy, he suddenly felt an extra breath in the room, and when he opened his eyes vigilantly, he saw Shen Jingcheng taking off his cotton robe exuding cold by the kang, and he opened the quilt and came to him in surprise.
"You're back, how's it going? You okay? Gu Jin asked worriedly while checking up and down to see if there were any injuries on his body.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Shen Jingcheng opened his arms for her to check, and immediately pulled up the warm quilt and wrapped her whole after she finished checking: "You lie down quickly, don't freeze." ”
"Oh." Gu Jin obediently retracted into his original quilt, the second child of the Shen family on the kang was sleeping soundly, and Gu Jin was sleeping next to him, and on the other side was a bed made but no one slept on the futon.
This was prepared by Gu Jin for Shen Jingcheng, even if he was not at home, she laid out the futon for him every night, as if he slept at home every day.
After Shen Jingcheng stripped off his underwear, he got into his quilt, and when he felt a little hot on his body, he dragged Gu Jin into his quilt.
"How's it going, are they going well?" Gu Jin lay softly in the crook of his arm and asked quietly in his ear.
"It's going well, from now on I will be me, Shen Jingcheng of Shenjia Village, your Gu Jin's man, there will be no other identity." Shen Jingcheng also replied to her in a small voice, and the corners of his lips and eyes were relaxed.
"Good. That's good. Gu Jin put one hand around his sturdy waist, buried the whole person in his arms, and muttered: "I'm worried about death these days." ”
"Not anymore." Shen Jingcheng gently hugged her in his arms and whispered softly.
No, there will be no such thing again.
Not long after Shen Jingcheng finished speaking, he heard the person in his arms breathe for a long time, and looked down to see that she was already asleep.
Shen Jingcheng looked at the blue and black under her eyes, kissed Gu Jin's eyes lightly in distress, and fell asleep with her in his arms.
These days, he has been running around non-stop, and he has long been exhausted.
Because Shen Jingcheng had returned, Gu Jin slept exceptionally peacefully this night, and when he woke up the next day, he had already swept away the malaise of the previous days, and his whole person was in good spirits.
And from this day on, she and Shen Jingcheng's second child also had their own name...... Shen Youan.
Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin lived without wind and turmoil, and the first thing King Ning'an did when he ascended the throne as emperor in the capital was to take revenge on the people who intercepted him.
Almost overnight, the villages along the road where King Ning'an had been intercepted by the people's team were slaughtered.
Although many villages and people avoided this difficulty because of Shen Jingcheng's obstruction, none of the main battlefields in the north were spared.
After the slaughter of the village, the new emperor ordered to start immigrating from places where there were many people in various places to those places that had been slaughtered.
With the vigorous development of another immigration, perhaps because the development of Shenjia Village has been so good in recent years, there are many refugees who have fled here, and the holy decree of the imperial court immigrants has also arrived here.
This change was something that Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin never expected, but since the decree was issued from above, what should be implemented still has to be implemented, and those refugees who have not yet settled here have been forcibly taken away by the imperial court.
At the same time, Shen Jingcheng also received a holy decree from the new emperor to activate him, ordering him to go to the capital of the new immigrants in the north to become the prefect.
And the reason why he was only used was because the new emperor killed many henchmen during the reign of the imperial grandson, and now there are not enough officials in the court at all. Second, it is because the resumption of production by migrants is very slow, and he, an official who has been brought to the government by virtue in just a few years, has fallen into the eyes of some people.
Of course, there is no one in the court, even if there is a shortage of officials in the imperial court, it will not be Shen Jingcheng's turn, and the reason why he is used is that Han Zhongming, the current head of the household department, suggested.
