2 Enough disappointment
Unwilling to let Shen Hanshuang be wronged, the princess said to her: "I asked people to send the one outside the door somewhere else." ”
Shen Hanshuang said softly: "The prince should have his intentions in arranging it like this, and my mother doesn't have to worry about me." ”
Zhu Yinzhou did not avoid her when he talked to his subordinates a few days ago, and Shen Hanshuang knew that Chen Lanshuang had secretly cooperated with them to solve the prince's rebellion.
Those remnants of the rebels hated the Pingnan Palace, and they must have murderous intent towards Chen Lanshuang, so Zhu Yinzhou rushed to the East Palace to protect her in such a hurry, and hurriedly sent people back to the palace.
Now, in addition to the emperor's side, only the guards of the Pingnan Palace's palace should be the most reliable.
"Mother, I have a headache." Shen Hanshuang took the princess's hand and said softly.
The princess immediately advised: "You haven't rested all night, you will definitely be uncomfortable, go back and rest, and remember that the wound in the palm of your hand does not touch the water." I'll take care of the rest. ”
"It's just to find a yard for the person outside to settle in, and my body is not so weak that I can't even do this little thing."
"Thank you, mother, and you should pay more attention to your body." Shen Hanshuang did not refuse.
She blessed the princess, walked out of the main hall with the maid Chunye, and went back to Mingxi Courtyard.
It stands to reason that now the affairs of the mansion are all handled by Shen Hanshuang, and there are female guests in the palace, so she should personally receive and arrange them.
But she didn't want to.
At a critical juncture, Shen Hanshuang put human life first, but that's all.
In the past, when Chen Lanshuang came forward, Zhu Yinzhou rarely took Shen Hanshuang there. Shen Hanshuang guessed that he might be reluctant to let the new and the old meet, which was a pity in comparison. Zhu Yinzhou didn't say the reason, so she didn't ask.
Although the number of times they met was not much, when Shen Hanshuang occasionally thought of Chen Lanshuang, she still couldn't help but care about the childhood sweetheart between her and Zhu Yinzhou, and she almost got married, and she couldn't help but feel lost because Zhu Yinzhou's heart was not here for her.
Now that I have been disappointed enough and decided to let go, thinking of Chen Lanshuang again, Shen Hanshuang felt a lot calmer.
But not to the point where you can not care.
Zhu Yinzhou probably felt that Shen Hanshuang would be as virtuous and generous as ever, and be empathetic and tolerant of everything.
So he just sent his sweetheart to the house, without thinking about what she would think.
Xu was because he finally saw it, and Shen Hanshuang didn't feel sour and aggrieved at this time.
I'm just glad I woke up.
Hopeless love is a cage that traps the lives of too many obsessed people.
Shen Hanshuang didn't want to be like this herself.
The first and last time she asked Zhu Yinzhou for affection and showed weakness to him, which was a fork in the road she found for herself.
His answer also made her make her final choice.
In a few days at most, Shen Hanshuang will move out of the palace and go back to live her own life.
In the last few days, she had a lot of things to do, and naturally it was impossible to help Zhu Yinzhou take care of his sweetheart.
Now that the crown prince has fallen, Zhu Yinzhou is not the kind of man who would mind if his beloved was married to a wife. Sooner or later, Chen Lanshuang will marry Zhu Yinzhou.
Shen Hanshuang could stop it for a while, but she wouldn't be by Zhu Yinzhou's side all the time, so she didn't want to waste her energy on these things anymore.
When she didn't care about him, she didn't even care about the position that belonged to his wife.
If nothing else, King Pingnan will be the next emperor, and Zhu Yinzhou will be the new crown prince at that time.
The Shen family is a family of eunuchs, although Shen Hanshuang's father resigned from the government and followed her mother around to do business, her grandfather was still the right minister, and her most talented cousin is now only one step away from the Ministry of Works.
Shen Hanshuang's mother was born in the Ming family in Luoyang, and the Ming family is the leading wealthy businessman in China, with business all over the country, and the family business can be called rich.
But the emperor, who held money and power at the same time, was above all the families and wealthy merchants.
Everything goes smoothly and is naturally good, but the world is unpredictable, if something happens in the future, Shen Hanshuang hopes that Zhu Yinzhou can help the Shen family or the Ming family because she did not stop him from protecting his sweetheart today.
In addition to love, I wish Yinzhou can afford the word "gentleman" and is blameless.
He just doesn't love her.
Shen Hanshuang will not feel that she is not good enough because of this, in the final analysis, they still have no fate.
Even if Zhu Yinzhou is full of eyes and can only see that one person in the future, regardless of the love between husband and wife for three years, the prince and the princess should still be a little softer to her.
King Pingnan and Princess Pingnan have always felt that Zhu Yinzhou's temperament is too cold and not considerate of her enough, and they apologized to her many times for Zhu Yinzhou, saying that they did not teach Zhu Yinzhou well.
Shen Hanshuang didn't blame them, and she could feel that the two elders were sincere in their distress.
In recent years, the emperor's health has deteriorated, and although Shen Hanshuang's grandfather Shen Xiang did not say it explicitly, he had vaguely revealed to Shen Hanshuang that King Pingnan was more likely to be a Ming monarch than the crown prince. That's why he agreed to let Shen Hanshuang marry into the Pingnan Palace. This is for her happiness and for the sake of the Shen family.
The relationship between her and Zhu Yinzhou has reached this point, and Shen Hanshuang needs the apology and soft-heartedness of the future emperor more than being angry for a while. Even if it's just one point, it may be something that can solve the crisis at a critical moment.
Thinking of this, Shen Hanshuang's footsteps paused slightly, and then he continued to walk towards Mingxi Courtyard as usual.
It turned out that after letting go of Zhu Yinzhou, she could not only no longer suffer from gains and losses because of him, but also seek a way out for herself and her family so calmly.

At the entrance of the palace.
The guard opened the closed door, and the woman outside was helped in.
Chen Lanshuang's sideburns were scattered, her delicate face and skirt were stained with dust, and her original eye-catching beauty was covered with dust, but it was even more pitiful because of the panic and helplessness of the rest of her life.
But the princess didn't look at her, she only heard the guards who sent her back tell her about the cause and effect, so she ordered someone to take Chen Lanshuang to Yunhe Hall for placement.
Chen Lanshuang was about to thank the princess, but saw the princess turn around and leave.
didn't give her a straight eye, and didn't want to say a word to her.
The maid beside Chen Lanshuang seemed to be dissatisfied and was about to have a seizure, but was endured by Chen Lanshuang with her eyes.
Looking at the back of the princess in the distance, Chen Lanshuang thought of the princess who was in charge of the palace and should have come forward to receive her, and subconsciously pursed her red lips slightly.
Did Shen Hanshuang dare not see her, or was she ...... Don't want to see her?
*
Chenshi.
Last night's hustle and bustle has subsided.
Listening to the maid Chunye talk about Chen Lanshuang's stay in the Hidden Bamboo Courtyard, Shen Hanshuang had just finished sleeping.
Yinzhu Courtyard is the closest courtyard to Mingxi Courtyard where Zhu Yinzhou and Shen Hanshuang lived.
Before Shen Hanshuang married into the palace, Zhu Yinzhou had been living there, and he personally named it with an inscription a few years ago. On the day of the wedding, he moved to Mingxi Courtyard to live with Shen Hanshuang.
Haruye said angrily: "How can the princess ......"
"Be careful." Shen Hanshuang interrupted her.
"Let's eat, someone will take care of those things."
No matter who it is, it won't be her anymore.
Soon after Shen Hanshuang had eaten, she heard Chunye say that the princess had come to Mingxi Courtyard and had already arrived at the door.
As soon as she got up and was about to greet her, the princess's voice sounded: "The family doesn't have to be formal, you were tired yesterday, just rest." ”
"Mother." Shen Hanshuang said softly.
As soon as the princess entered the door, she first took Shen Hanshuang's hand, carefully looked at the wound in her palm, and told her a few words to pay attention to the wound before slowly sitting down.
Seeing the princess's sad face, Shen Hanshuang was thoughtful.
On weekdays, the princess often recuperates in Yunmei Xuan, not only exempting herself from the rules of morning and dusk, but also never coming to Shen Hanshuang's Mingxi Courtyard.
And every time the princess shows such a look, it is because of Zhu Yinzhou.
Sure enough, after a while, the princess sighed and said, "There are some things that shouldn't have been said by me, but Yinzhou has done things like this, and I, as a mother, can't sit idly by." ”
"Don't worry, I will let Chen Lanshuang move from the Hidden Bamboo Courtyard to Yunhe Hall in a while, if she doesn't want to, I will drive her out of the house and let her stay away from you. She lived there as a child, but that doesn't mean she's still eligible to live now. ”
Although Yin Zhou and she have known each other since childhood, they have always adhered to etiquette and have not had much affection. Now he should have only seen that she was a weak woman and encountered a major event that was vital to his life, so he would help one or two. ”
"Mother will definitely make decisions for you, and will never allow anyone to disturb your life and Yinzhou's life."
Shen Hanshuang listened quietly, and also understood the unfinished meaning of the princess's words-
Let Chen Lanshuang live in Yinzhu Courtyard, it turned out to be the meaning of Zhu Yinzhou.
Chen Lanshuang lived in the Hidden Bamboo Courtyard when she was a child. So after marrying her, Zhu Yinzhou didn't want to continue to live there?
After all, things are wrong.
Now it doesn't matter whether Chen Lanshuang lives near or far away from Shen Hanshuang, what he thinks about is that the Hidden Bamboo Courtyard can be closer to him, and it is very meaningful to him and Chen Lanshuang.
He had good intentions.
After three years of husband and wife, Shen Hanshuang realized that when facing her sweetheart, even if she was as cold as Zhu Yinzhou, she would have those thoughts and considerations for turning around.
"No need to change it," Shen Hanshuang said to the princess in a warm voice, "I really don't mind." ”
She's going to be leaving soon anyway.
At this time, no matter how much she studied these things, she couldn't change anything, and she didn't want to be distracted by the people and things around her.
The princess wanted to speak and stopped.
She could see that since last night, when facing things related to Chen Lanshuang, Shen Hanshuang seemed to be extremely indifferent.
The husband sent the woman who was separated from them to the house, but she did not seem to feel wronged or saddened by it.
It seems to be tolerant to the point of indifference.
The princess vaguely felt as if something was about to happen, but she didn't bother to ask more, so she had to tell Shen Hanshuang to rest for a few more days and heal the wound in her palm first.
After the princess left, Shen Hanshuang's beautiful eyes drooped slightly, and she quietly looked at the crescent-shaped wounds in her palms.
Even if the blood is pinched out by your own hands, as long as you take good medicine and take care of it carefully, there will always be a day when it will heal.
Nothing cannot be erased.

In the forbidden military camp.
The guards returned to the prince from the palace and reported the affairs of the palace 1510.
Zhu Yinzhou listened while looking at the map in his hand.
After last night, Zhu Yinzhou's sword had countless more lives, and the light-colored clothes he was used to wearing on weekdays were also stained with a lot of blood, which was two extremes from his usual appearance of being spotless.
But after the rebellion was quelled, there were many affairs, his father King Pingnan stayed by the side of the seriously ill emperor all night, and Zhu Yinzhou has not been in the water, and he has always been happy and clean, and he has not even had a gap to bathe and change clothes.
After listening to the guard's report on last night, Zhu Yinzhou asked casually: "After the crown princess went to the palace, was the princess displeased?" ”
The guard arched his hand and said, "No." ”
Lin Zhi, the deputy commander of the forbidden army on the side, said with a smile: "The princess really understands the righteousness, it must have been because she heard the prince tell me that the princess was dealing with the prince with us inside and out, so that she could treat the princess without any worries." ”
Zhu Yinzhou felt inexplicably that something was not right.
"After the crown princess lived in the Hidden Bamboo Courtyard, the princess didn't say anything?"
Guard: "I don't know if the princess said anything in the courtyard, but the princess didn't stop her, and no one bothered the princess after she stayed." ”
Lin Zhi was a little puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with the Hidden Bamboo Courtyard?" ”
"Speaking of which, this courtyard has a 'hidden' character in your name."
Zhu Yinzhou shook his head and didn't say much.
He thought for a moment and instructed the guards: "You go back and tell the princess, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the house in the next few days." ”
The guards respectfully received the order.
He is used to it, and every time the prince can't go back to the house because of something, he goes to explain the situation to the princess.
Worried that the prince would not be used to eating out and not living well, the princess would personally prepare some clean clothes and pastries every time and let him bring them to the prince. He, the errand runner, always gets some reward along with it.
But today's reaction of the princess surprised the guards-
"I don't have to talk to me about this anymore." As soon as he finished relaying the words of the prince, he heard the princess say softly while looking at the book.
Seeing that the guards were still in place, Shen Hanshuang asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
The guard hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”
"Go down." Shen Hanshuang said.
The guards were worried about it, but they didn't dare to delay, and immediately rushed back to the forbidden barracks.
Zhu Yinzhou saw him come back empty-handed and asked, "Why didn't you bring clean clothes?" The princess is not in the house? ”
"The prince, the princess is in the palace."
But the princess did not prepare clothes, and said...... Say you don't have to tell her where you're going in the future. ”
The guard stiffened.
Zhu Yinzhou was stunned in his heart, put down the map in his hand, and looked at him sideways.
