Sheng Qingyuan's cheeks were slightly red, and he said, "Then, that person is probably about to wake up, I'll go see him first." ”

Seeing Sheng Qingyuan trotting away, Shen Zhao couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Slow down, don't fall." ”

After finishing speaking, Sheng Qingyuan accidentally tripped over the threshold, and Shen Zhao hurriedly helped her, "Don't be in such a hurry." ”

The embarrassment on Sheng Qingyuan's face was even worse, "I, I'm fine." ”

"Let's go, let's go together." Shen Zhao took her hand, and the two went to the room where Du Shujun was temporarily housed.

Originally, it was just an excuse to leave temporarily, but when they went to the wing, Du Shujun just woke up, and the little guy was feeding him water.

Du Shujun was stunned when he saw Sheng Qingyuan and Shen Zhao who came over, especially when he saw Shen Zhao, he was a little shaken.

This man looked a little familiar.

"You saved me?" Du Shujun's voice was still a little hoarse, and his strength when speaking was not very sufficient.

Sheng Qingyuan motioned for the little girl to leave first, she sat on the chair next to the bed, gave him a pulse, and said: "Fortunately, it's not too late to stop the bleeding, and the injury is basically traumatic, so as long as you have a good rest, it will be fine." ”

Du Shujun lifted the quilt with difficulty, wanting to salute Sheng Qingyuan, "Thank you for saving ...... Gong"

Sheng Qingyuan supported him in time and said, "Don't move, if you pull the wound and cause the wound to crack again, my wound will be in vain." ”

Hearing this, Du Shujun was not reluctant, and said to Sheng Qingyuan: "Engong's life-saving grace, I can't repay it, I, I don't have anything valuable on me, I only have one life, if Engong has any needs, I can help you, as long as... As long as you don't show your face. ”

Sheng Qingyuan was puzzled: "Don't show your face? What does that mean? ”

Du Shujun lowered his head, his fingers couldn't help but pick at the quilt, and after taking a deep breath, he said truthfully: "Because...... I am now an exiled sinner. ”

Shen Zhao's eyes were a little more surprised when he looked at Du Shujun.

In his memory, Huaiyuan Bofu has always been loyal to the king, kept his duty, and never aggressive, it stands to reason that with their temperament, they can live a stable life, how can they become exiled sinners in just a few years? Even almost exposed to the wilderness?

Du Shujun was not surprised by their surprise, and said bitterly: "I don't want to trouble you, if you choose to send me to the government, I will never complain." ”

Shen Zhao glanced at him deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Your name is Du Shujun, and you are the sister-in-law of Uncle Huaiyuan's mansion, right?" ”

Du Shujun looked up in surprise, his eyes were a little more vigilant, "How do you know?" Who are you? ”

He has never left the capital since he was a child, and he is quite unfamiliar with the two people in front of him.

Although he felt that the man in front of him was a little familiar, he could be sure that he had definitely not seen him in the capital in the past few years.

"My name is Shen Zhao." Shen Zhao said.

Du Shujun still looked puzzled, the name was even more unfamiliar.

Shen Zhao said again: "I also have a name, called Chu Chengchi. ”

Du Shujun's pupils suddenly dilated, "You, you, you, you are ......"

Seeing him like this, Shen Zhao knew that he already knew who he was, and nodded to him, affirming the conjecture in his heart.

Du Shujun's heart was beating very fast at this time, and he looked incredulous: "But, but, you weren't ...... at that time"

Shen Zhao's heart sank: "Do you think that you are still alive in the eyes of the person who wants to kill you at this time?" ”

Du Shujun opened his mouth, speechless, and his heart sank.

Don't say that those people, even himself, thought that he would die.

Shen Zhao said: "When I was ordered to leave Beijing to deal with a case, I was ambushed on the way, I was stabbed several times, and finally fell off the cliff and fell into a pool of water below, and was rescued, but I forgot what happened before, and I didn't remember it again until a few days ago." ”

Du Shujun's mouth opened slightly, trying to digest this fact.

After a long time, Du Shujun found his voice back, and the vigilance in his eyes was a little less, but it was not completely eliminated: "How do you prove your identity?" ”

Shen Zhao looked at him lightly and said, "Nine years ago, behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace, you didn't believe that you fell asleep there, and then ......"

Before he finished speaking, Du Shujun's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly interrupted him: "I believe you are Your Highness!" Needless to say!! ”

Sheng Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, it seems that there is an ulterior story in this.

"You said you were exiled, what happened?" Shen Zhao asked.

At the mention of this, the blush that had just risen on Du Shujun's face was gone, replaced by a strong hatred, his hands clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were raised.

When he closed his eyes, the images that appeared were like knives stabbing him in the heart one after another.

After a long time, Du Shujun reopened his eyes, looking at Shen Zhao's eyes were red, and the nails of the clenched fists were in the flesh and there was a slight pain, but he didn't seem to realize it.

"That day, I saw Zuo Hui robbing the people's daughter on the street, I stepped forward to protect the girl, Zuo Hui hated me, and within a few days, Zuo Ye was sentenced to exile for the crime of provoking Tianwei under Uncle Huaiyuan's mansion."

Rao is Sheng Qingyuan has watched so many outrageous film and television dramas before, but when he heard what Zuo Wei said, he couldn't help but be shocked.

What kind of offense is this? What kind of provocation is it?

A eunuch, a nephew of a bullying eunuch.

"Does the emperor care?" Sheng Qingyuan couldn't help but ask.

Du Shujun shook his head and sneered, "Actually, after His Royal Highness disappeared back then, the first emperor didn't want to believe that you were dead, so he sent a lot of people to look for you, but before he could find you, the first emperor died, and the eldest prince ascended the throne." ”

Du Shujun's eyes narrowed, and the bitterness and sadness at the corners of his mouth became heavier.

If His Royal Highness had ascended the throne back then, would the situation in the court be completely different now?

After the eldest prince ascended the throne, he reused Zuo Ye and believed Zuo Ye's slander, and in recent years, many loyal ministers and good ministers were innocently killed. Now, His Majesty is hiding in the harem for fun, regardless of the government, Zuo Ye is the sole power. ”

Du Shujun straightened his face, unprecedentedly serious and solemn, "Your Highness, if you want to go back to Beijing to regain the position that belongs to you, although my strength is meager now, I am willing to do my part!" ”

Saying that, Du Shujun endured the pain on his body and gave Shen Zhao a salute.

"Don't move, get some rest." Shen Zhao helped him and said.

Du Shujun's eyes were red, he held Shen Zhao's hand, and his voice was hoarse, "Your Highness, I beg you, no matter what, you must fight!" If this continues, Da Zhou will be uneasy! ”

Du Shujun said again: "Moreover, you just take back what should have belonged to you." ”

Shen Zhao looked a little puzzled.

The father has never revealed who he wants to give the throne to, but Chu Xuanjin is the queen and the eldest son, and in the absence of a crown prince, it stands to reason that the eldest son should succeed to the throne.

That's what he's always thought.

Seeing the puzzlement on Shen Zhao's face, Du Shujun explained: "Now Your Majesty is incompetent and incompetent, although he has the noble body of the eldest son, but the first emperor is very clear, if the Great Zhou is handed over to him, the Great Zhou is in danger, the first emperor has found a few ministers, and vaguely revealed that he wants to pass it on to you, even if the queen and others say that you are dead, but the first emperor still insists on finding you, unless you see your corpse, the intention of the prince will never change." ”

Shen Zhao's fists couldn't help clenching, and his mind couldn't help but recall what his father had taught him in the past years.

Narrowing his eyes, he felt that his nose was a little sour.

There was a burst of softness in his hand, and when he looked at it, Sheng Qingyuan's hand held his hand, her hand was smaller than his, soft, warm, and the temperature from the palm seemed to warm his heart.

It warmed up his heart, which was a little cold just now.

Shen Zhao calmed down and said, "I will go back to the capital, but not now." ”

"I understand." Du Shujun nodded.

However, knowing that Shen Zhao had this idea, he also seemed to see hope.

Du Shujun's eyes were red, and he clenched his teeth: "Certainly, Zuo Ye and Zuo Hui will pay the price!" ”

Sheng Qingyuan listened for a while and asked, "What about the others in Huaiyuanbo's Mansion?" ”

Du Shujun's throat was so choked that he was almost speechless, the skull joints of his clenched fists turned white, and the back of his hands was full of green tendons: "On the way to exile, all... ............"

Du Shujun couldn't go on with the rest of the words, and his reddened eyes and nose had already explained a lot.

Du Shujun sniffed and choked up a little: "During the exile, we could only wear thin prison uniforms, and there was only one hard stone-like steamed bun every day, father and mother...... I can't stand ............."

If it weren't for the fact that he had practiced a little kung fu and his body was not bad, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.

Watching his family fall one by one, he hated.

hated his own powerlessness, hated the ruthlessness of these officials, hated Zuo Ye Zuo Hui's small belly and ruthlessness, and hated the mediocrity and incompetence of the current emperor.

Sheng Qingyuan looked at him and said lightly: "Then find a way to make yourself stronger, so that those wicked people will never have a chance to hurt the people you care about." ”

Du Shujun looked at her with some astonishment.

Her words were a little cold, without much comfort, but it was such words that made his almost dead heart rekindle again.

"You talk first, I'll go and see if everything is packed." Sheng Qingyuan got up and said.

Shen Zhao's gaze moved with Sheng Qingyuan, and it was not until she left and closed the door that she was reluctant to withdraw her eyes.

"She's your wife?" Du Shujun tried to ask.

The expression on Shen Zhao's face softened a little, and with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he nodded: "Yes." ”

"She's fine." Du Shujun said.

He didn't know where she came from, but from her conversation and the way she reacted when she just listened to their conversation, he knew for sure that she was different from ordinary women.

"Yes, she's fine." Shen Zhao affirmed, without the slightest hesitation.

Du Shujun looked at Shen Zhao with such a look and was slightly stunned.

He hadn't had much contact with Shen Zhao before, and the few times he did it were at banquets, watching him sit on a high seat from afar.

At that time, he was very favored by the first emperor, but he was not pampered and arrogant at all, he was already very calm at a young age, and he couldn't tell that he was just a young man who was over ten years old.

At this time, he is a little less cold and a little more popular.

"Next, you will follow Qingyuan's words, rest first, and talk about other things when you are rested." Shen Zhao admonished.

"Your Highness." Du Shujun hurriedly called.

Shen Zhao: "? ”

Du Shujun said: "Does Your Highness know about the unknown master? ”

Shen Zhao nodded: "I know, I heard that this person has the ability to spy on the heavens and predict what will happen next." ”

Du Shujun also nodded, and said solemnly: "In fact, in addition to his ability, he is also a master of both civil and military affairs, and he is in Fushou Academy in Fushou City at this time, if His Highness goes to Fushou City, you might as well try to find him." ”
