6 Husband and wife break off
After Shen Hanshuang left the palace, the princess immediately called the guards over and ordered: "Go and find the prince quickly, tell him that the princess has packed her things and is ready to go back to Luoyang Ming's house, let him chase him now, and he must bring people back." ”
"If you're late, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up." Thinking of Shen Hanshuang's calm appearance before leaving, the princess was worried.
The emperor's body is already at the end of his strength, if Shen Xiang knows that Shen Hanshuang has decided to make peace, in order to prevent Shen Hanshuang from being delayed by the matter of keeping filial piety, he is afraid that he will immediately send Shen Hanshuang away from Chang'an.
Shen Hanshuang's decision to reconcile with Zhu Yinzhou has not yet been settled, if he rashly stabs in front of people, or leaves evidence such as letters, there is really no room for turnaround.
The princess can only let people inform Zhu Yinzhou of the things on the bright side as soon as possible.
Hopefully, it's still too late.
After receiving the order, the guards first rushed to the forbidden military camp where the prince usually stayed, and learned that the prince had not come out since he entered the palace last night, so he immediately went outside the palace gate.
The guards are not allowed to enter the palace without an order, but fortunately, the palace has its own way to deliver the message - the forbidden military camp.
But after the forbidden soldier who delivered the message entered the palace, he learned that His Majesty had woken up earlier and called the prince in.
At present, the prince is still in the palace, and Deputy Commander Lin, who has the opportunity to enter the hall and ask the prince to come out temporarily, is nowhere to be seen.
No matter how anxious you are, it's useless, so you can only let people go around looking for the deputy commander of the forest.
Not everyone can enter the emperor's dormitory, let alone that His Majesty is sick, and the prince forced the palace a few days ago.
The messenger couldn't help muttering in his heart: Things happened to come together, and after going around for so long, the words to be preached today seemed to have encountered layers of obstacles in the dark.

The carriage stopped in front of the Shen Mansion.
As soon as Shen Hanshuang got out of the carriage, he saw his grandfather walking from the long street, with a serious expression, but the whole person was tired and tired.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Shen Hanshuang hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Seeing that it was Shen Hanshuang, Shen Xiang smiled gently, comforted her, and said, "It's okay, it's just that I've been in the palace all night, and I'm a little tired." ”
Although the imperial doctors did not dare to reveal the true situation of His Majesty, several ministers, including Shen Xiang, knew that His Majesty's time was running out.
Therefore, there will always be two ministers in the emperor's dormitory, so that when the last moment comes, the emperor will leave an edict and no one will testify.
Last night, Shen Xiang and Chen Xiang were guarding together, and both of them had just come out of the palace.
Shen Xiang didn't expect that he would see his granddaughter at this time, he glanced at the carriages parked behind Shen Hanshuang, and said to her sideways, "Go home first." ”
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Shen Xiang retreated and asked gently, "Were you scared on the night of the prince's rebellion?" ”
"Look at you like this, you shouldn't have rested for a few days?"
Shen Hanshuang's expression paused slightly, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Grandpa clearly noticed the carriages, but he still asked about it first.
Shen Hanshuang thought that everything that night had ended with the death of the prince and the rout of the rebels, but it wasn't until his grandfather asked worriedly that Shen Hanshuang realized that he was afraid of it so far.
Indeed, as grandpa said, since that day, Shen Hanshuang has never had a good night's sleep.
Every night she dreams of countless swords, blood, corpses. Even many times, in her dreams, she would be a part of those mutilated corpses.
Shen Hanshuang has always been well protected by the Shen family and the Ming family, never involved in danger, and never so close to death and blood.
Just one door away.
Outside the door, the red-eyed rebels and the palace guards who fought hard fell one after another, and inside the door, as the princess of the palace, she must stand firmly and calmly in front of people, not showing cowardice, let alone retreating.
The prince and the prince are not in the house, and the princess is weak, so she must stand up.
And she did.
There was no chaos in the palace that night, everything went according to the arrangements made before she and Zhu Yinzhou rushed to the East Palace, and later the guards she sent out also rescued many people in several mansions near the palace.
But she was really afraid.
When she ordered someone to count the casualties, Shen Hanshuang found that she had an impression of many of the names on the page.
She had taken the initiative to withdraw half a year's monthly silver for one of the poor guards, so that he could take his mother to the doctor as soon as possible.
There was a guard who was in love with a fatherless and motherless maid in the palace, and when she reached the age of marriage, it was Shen Hanshuang who personally bought a dowry for the maid. The guard also came to Shen Hanshuang a few days ago to tell him that his wife was already happy.
There is also a guard, although his family has practiced martial arts for generations, he prefers to read and write. When Shen Hanshuang passed by, he overheard him hiding in the firewood room to endorse the book. After learning about the antecedents, Shen Hanshuang tested his knowledge, saw that his foundation was really good, and encouraged him to participate in next year's scientific examination.
Every winter, Shen Hanshuang would spend a sum of money to buy two thick clothes for everyone who worked in the palace, which was not expensive, but it could keep out the cold.
Shen Hanshuang had heard Chunye talk to several other maids in her yard, and several of the guards were extremely tall and strong, and they couldn't buy ready-made winter clothes, so they could only spend more money to find a store to customize.
And these guards all died in that bloody night.
Shen Hanshuang didn't see their corpses with her own eyes, but she could dream every night of what they looked like when they were still alive.
It's not that God is cruel, the people who died happened to be people Shen Hanshuang knew.
It's that there were so many people who died that night, and they happened to be among them.
There were no casualties in the palace that night, because they fought for their lives outside the palace.
In the past few days before Shen Hanshuang left the palace, he personally arranged the aftermath of each of the sacrificed guards, but until this moment, he couldn't and didn't dare to forget those names.
Shen Hanshuang didn't dare to think that if the palace was broken by the rebels that night, if more people died in front of her, if she and the princess would not be spared......
When a person keeps her eyes open until dawn, Shen Hanshuang can't help but think that if she also dies, Zhu Yinzhou, who once shared the bed with her, should still have that calm and cold appearance, but the Shen family and the Ming family will definitely be sad everywhere.
So she didn't want to stay in the palace anyway, to stay with a man who didn't love her.
Life and death are unpredictable, but even if she dies, Shen Hanshuang wants to die by the side of those family members who love her.
A few days have passed, and Shen Hanshuang, who has been holding on to her reluctance to cry, still can't help crying.
"Grandpa, I'm scared, but I don't want to cry and I can't cry." She suppressed her crying and said.
Shen Xiang was so distressed that he stroked her hair and said softly, "It's all over." ”
"It's okay, grandpa is here. Of course, the three girls of our Shen family can be scared and cry. ”
Hearing this, Shen Hanshuang's tears couldn't be stopped.
When she talked to Zhu Yinzhou about the fear in her heart that day, she only got his frowning eyes.
Only her family will care about and support all her anxieties and fears, so that she can rest down and rely on and trust.
Shen Hanshuang has been held in the palm of her family since she was a child. Even though she was eighteen years old, her grandfather would still coax her as before.
When she was nine years old, she had accidentally bought a book full of demons and monsters, and she was very good at imagining, so she was frightened by the horrific descriptions in it, and she did not dare to go out of the room from sunset.
At that time, my grandfather, together with several uncles and cousins, hung enough lanterns in all the places where she would pass, and illuminated everywhere.
This was not enough, each of them rushed to tell Shen Hanshuang other warm and interesting stories, and several aunts also had to sleep with her, trying to make her forget the previous terrifying descriptions.
Grandpa is facing the right, and he always looks solemn and cold when he is outside, but when he comes home and appears in front of her, grandpa always has a smile on his face.
In the face of her whimsical or ridiculous thoughts, grandpa is always willing to cooperate unconditionally, as if he can indulge her and spoil her without a bottom line.
She was loved so well.
But because of a man who was not here in his heart, he made a compromise for three years and left his family for three years.
Luckily, she went home.
After Shen Hanshuang slowly calmed down, Shen Xiang said a lot of homely things to divert her attention, and then asked, "Hanshuang, what are those carriages outside the door?" ”
"My dowry." Shen Hanshuang wiped the tears on her face with a silk silk and did not hide it.
"What are you going to ......?"
Shen Hanshuang nodded, "I have decided to reconcile with the son." ”
She told her grandfather about the book and the departure.
After listening, Shen Xiang was silent for a moment, and couldn't hide his blame: "It's grandpa who didn't choose a better marriage for you, which made you feel wronged." ”
Shen Hanshuang didn't elaborate on the reason for wanting to reconcile and leave, but Shen Xiang knew very well that if her granddaughter was really married to a wishful husband, how could she be so resolute to return to the Shen family with the dowry, leaving no room for the relationship between the two to turn around?
Shen Hanshuang heard the guilt in his grandfather's words, and hurriedly smiled and said to him: "Grandpa, this marriage is very good, and he is also very good, but I am tired of it and don't want him anymore." ”
From family background to appearance, from character to ability, I wish Yinzhou nothing bad.
He just doesn't love her.
It is true that Shen Hanshuang doesn't want to continue to be husband and wife with him.
Marriage is a major event in life, and Shen Hanshuang doesn't want her grandfather to bear such a heavy burden of guilt. At the beginning, her grandfather looked for several excellent men of the right age for her, and Shen Hanshuang was willing to marry Zhu Yinzhou.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a pity that the husband and wife break off and leave, but Shen Hanshuang feels that this is a happy event.
The old page has been turned, and every day from now on will be new, and she is looking forward to it.
Seeing that Shen Hanshuang's expression was indeed worry-free and worried, Shen Xiangcai was reluctantly relieved.
"The prince was left in the palace by His Majesty, and he should still be in the palace at this time, and he has not returned to the house to see the book you left behind." Shen Xiang said softly.
"If someone asks, don't reveal that you have reconciled with your son, just say that it is because your parents' death is approaching that you decided to go back to Luoyang for a while."
The law stipulates that in the event of a state funeral, the emperor and all princes are required to observe filial piety for 27 days, and all the female dependents of the royal family need to observe filial piety for 27 days.
If Shen Hanshuang hadn't had time to leave Chang'an before His Majesty died, even if she already had that letter of harmony, she would probably be stumped by Shouxiao.
And if the two of them do not keep filial piety on the grounds that they have already reconciled, someone will definitely use this matter as a handle to criticize Shen Hanshuang for deliberately being disloyal to His Majesty and unfilial to his elders.
Shen Xiang didn't care, but he didn't want his granddaughter to get involved with that.
After Shen Hanshuang went to Luoyang, he announced to the public that his granddaughter and son had already reconciled, and even if someone talked about it, it would not disturb Shen Hanshuang who was far away in Luoyang.
With the identity and status of the Ming family in Luoyang, Shen Xiang was not worried that his granddaughter would be wronged over there.
Anyway, he didn't want this marriage anymore, so Shen Xiang planned to let his granddaughter get out of these complicated things in Chang'an City as soon as possible.
"Now that you have decided to leave, in order to avoid changes, you will immediately leave for Luoyang now."
Shen Hanshuang's jaw should be lowered.
"If the prince knew about the book and left the book, would he stop you from leaving?" Shen Xiang asked again.
Shen Hanshuang paused, and then said calmly: "He won't." ”
has been a husband and wife for three years, and he should have been tired of seeing her.
