In the palace.

The Emperor had only woken up once.

He first broke away from the others, and forced himself to call Zhu Yinzhou into the dormitory, but before he could say anything, he fell into a deep sleep again.

Zhu Yinzhou did not immediately withdraw from the hall, but stood silently not far away, staring down at this person who had supreme power but had no skills to return to the sky.

Seeing His Majesty's pale face, Imperial Physician Zhang on the side couldn't help but sigh silently.

Your Majesty was able to sit up and take medicine before, and there was still time to be awake.

But since the night when the prince forced the palace, His Majesty was stimulated, and his condition became more and more serious.

In the past few days, His Majesty has been in a coma a lot and awake a lot, and it is difficult to feed even medicine. Even if he finally wakes up, after a few difficult words, His Majesty will soon be unable to stay awake and fall back into a stupor.

The imperial doctors are well aware that His Majesty has reached the time when the oil has run out. But until the last moment, they did not dare to slack off, and still kept up 120,000 spirits to continue to take care of His Majesty.

Imperial Physician Zhang unconsciously secretly glanced at the cold-tempered prince, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Everyone in the court knows His Majesty's disgust for the cold appearance of the prince.

When he was angry, His Majesty once punished the prince for kneeling in front of the civil and military officials at the great court meeting, and deliberately poured a pot of hot tea on the prince, just to see if the humiliation and physical pain could change his usual indifferent expression in the slightest.

Later, under the persuasion of several important ministers, His Majesty summoned Imperial Physician Zhang to treat the burns for the prince.

Imperial Physician Zhang remembers very well that the prince never said a word during the whole process. His shoulders and arms were so badly burned, but he didn't even frown.

Even if he was punished to kneel in front of the hundred officials, the prince still had a straight back and a calm look in his eyes, without the slightest hint of shame or embarrassment.

He knelt distinctly, but seemed to stand taller than anyone else.

Over the years, His Majesty has made no secret of his intention to break this straight backbone.

And the prince has never let His Majesty get his wish.

No matter how His Majesty scolded and punished, the prince was as cold and silent as usual, and never relented.

The pair of royal grandchildren not only have never had a moment of family happiness, but they are like enemies who have been fighting invisibly.

At this time, His Majesty was no longer able to get up and punish the prince, and the prince's expression still did not loosen in the slightest. No one can see what he thinks.

Whoever was in front of him was as if he were just an inconsequential stranger.

Zhu Yinzhou felt the look that Imperial Physician Zhang looked at him, but he didn't take it to heart.

It's like he can guess why the emperor is holding on and calling himself into the palace, but he doesn't care.

He just waited quietly and patiently.

Wait for the Emperor to wake up.

Or cut off the air.

Before either of these two things happened, Lin Zhi, who had just come back, entered the hall and gestured to Zhu Yinzhou, motioning for him to follow him outside.

As soon as he walked out of the emperor's bedroom, Lin Zhi told Zhu Yinzhou: "When Your Majesty wakes up again, your father and my father will go in with you, and Shen Xiang and several other ministers will also come." ”

Judging from the emperor's dislike of Zhu Yinzhou on weekdays, he called Zhu Yinzhou over at this time, most likely to erase the possibility that Zhu Yinzhou was made the crown prince by the soon-to-be-enthroned King Pingnan.

However, the ministers of the court and the central government all felt that Zhu Yinzhou was more suitable for taking on the big task than Zhu Xun, the second son of King Pingnan.

Since Zhu Yinzhou was enlightened, Lin Zhi's father, Mrs. Lin, was his teacher. That's why Lin Zhi left temporarily and hurriedly went to his father to discuss countermeasures.

Zhu Yinzhou was noncommittal, as if he didn't care what the emperor wanted to do.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi's heart also settled down a little.

Zhu Yinzhou always has such an ability, even if something big happens, he can always treat it calmly and strategize. Lin Zhi had never seen him flustered.

Lin Zhi said to Zhu Yinzhou again: "The princess ordered someone to bring you a message, and the messenger has been waiting outside for a while, it seems that there is an urgent matter, and it is related to the princess." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhi ordered someone to be brought over.

After hearing the words of the princess, Zhu Yinzhou did not rush to pick up Shen Hanshuang as the princess said, but only ordered his cronies to bring a team of people to escort Shen Hanshuang back to Luoyang.

Zhu Yinzhou remembered that in the past, Shen Hanshuang would go back to Luoyang at this time of year every year, and she would return to Chang'an after her parents' death.

But Lin Zhi hurriedly called Zhu Yinzhou's cronies, and said in a hurry: "The princess suddenly wants to go back to Luoyang, why don't you not only stop it, but also send someone to send it?" ”

It's like I can't wait to send people away.

"It must be because of Chen Lanshuang's stay in the palace, and the princess is still angry with you. By the way, yesterday was the birthday of the princess, and you didn't go back to see her, the princess must have been even more angry, so she had to go back to Luoyang Ming's house. ”

"The princess is right, you go and take the princess home first. I'll guard this side of the palace for you first, Your Majesty won't wake up for a while. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yinzhou was unmoved, Lin Zhi persuaded him: "Although I haven't discussed marriage yet, I also know that if the problem is put on hold and not solved, let the princess leave Chang'an with a depression in her heart, I am afraid it will hurt the relationship between husband and wife." ”

"If you want to explain anything to her, I'm afraid it's too late."

Zhu Yinzhou didn't care about what Lin Zhi said.

Shen Hanshuang is not a person who will leave home impulsively because of temporary anger, and this trip to Luoyang should only be because her parents' death is approaching.

But he thought of Shen Hanshuang's silent appearance when she was occasionally lost because of Chen Lanshuang in the past, so he still decided to send her off in person.

He hadn't seen her in days.

*

Outside the Shen Mansion.

After Shen Xiang put Shen Hanshuang in the carriage, he arranged for many people from the Shen Mansion to escort her back to Luoyang.

"After leaving Beijing, I don't think about the things before, you and the son...... Grandpa will take care of it for you. There are many people, and Shen Xiang didn't explicitly say that it was a matter of separation, but both of them understood.

Shen Hanshuang nodded in response.

"Spend more time with your grandmother when you go back. Your mother's death is near, and she must be saddened. Shen Xiang instructed.

Shen Hanshuang's expression was slightly paused, and his heart was a little sour.

Shen Hanshuang's parents were taken away by a flood, and their bones were gone. The two elderly men also lost their own children.

Every time Shen Hanshuang went to Ming's house, her grandfather would ask her to spend more time with her grandmother so that she could feel at ease.

But why wouldn't grandpa be upset by this?

Shen Hanshuang's grandfather once had a big quarrel with her father because of his insistence on resigning, and the father and son broke up unhappily and did not see each other for many years.

Later, the Shen Mansion received the bad news.

Shen Hanshuang's grandfather had never been to the clothed mound in Luoyang.

He worries about the country and the people, and has been busy with government affairs in the DPRK and China for decades, but he can't even spare time to go to Luoyang.

He just didn't know how to deal with his young son and daughter-in-law, who died early.

"It's still the same as usual, when you go to see your father, don't forget to help grandpa bring a pot of Luoyang's best drunken moon to your father." Shen Xiang continued to admonish.

Shen Hanshuang said softly: "Daddy and mother must also want to see you." ”

The father and son were separated by yin and yang before they had time to reconcile, and Shen Hanshuang didn't know how to untie his grandfather's heart knot.

But Shen Hanshuang knew that her father would definitely miss his father, just like she would still miss her father after more than ten years.

Shen Xiang, who has always been calm, was quiet, and rarely choked up: "Grandpa knows." ”

"Next time, next time grandpa will definitely go with you to see them."

"Then when my grandmother is born in September, if you are free, can you also come to Luoyang?" Shen Hanshuang tried to ask.

Shen Xiang's eyes moved slightly, and he gently bowed his head, and finally agreed: "Okay." ”

Shen Hanshuang breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Her father is no longer there, and her grandfather's knot actually needs to be reconciled with himself back then. It always starts with the first step.

Uncles and uncles all said that Shen Hanshuang looked very similar to her parents. She thought that she should be comforted to accompany the two old men as much as she did before she got married. Even if you need to run on both sides of Chang'an and Luoyang, it is worth it.

Shen Hanshuang's heart is no longer occupied by the person who is always cold and cold, and her love and heart will only flow to those who also love her in the future.

Shen Hanshuang didn't know if she could meet a man who was really in love with her, but no matter what, her family was something she would never be able to give up.

*

on the carriage.

Shen Hanshuang has been planning what will happen after returning to Luoyang in her heart, and she is also thinking about where she can take her grandfather when he goes to Luoyang in September.

After the prince forced the palace, the rest of the party was being strictly investigated everywhere in the city, and it was also expected by Shen Hanshuang and Shen Xiang to be stopped and interrogated at the city gate.

But when Shen Hanshuang lifted the curtain of the carriage, she suddenly saw a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.

It is Zhu Yinzhou.

She frowned subconsciously, but still lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.

After being supported by Chunye to stand still, Shen Hanshuang raised his eyes to look at Zhu Yinzhou, who had dismounted.

The young prince stood tall and noble, and wore a simple moon-white shirt out of the jade style.

Moving his gaze downward, Shen Hanshuang saw that the hand behind him was not lost, the finger bones were thin and slender, and it was very eye-catching when he was writing and painting or playing the piano and dancing the sword.

Shen Hanshuang once loved these hands very much, and she also loved the appearance of such a good-looking hand when it set fire to her body.

People who are always cold and self-contained on weekdays are infected with lust because of themselves. It's hard not to be tempted.

But now that she has withdrawn from it, Shen Hanshuang understands that it is just a man's nature. That person could be her or someone else.

Even, what he was looking forward to was someone else.

Seeing that Shen Hanshuang only looked at herself quietly and did not speak, Zhu Yinzhou asked lightly first, "Do you want to go back to Luoyang?" ”

Shen Hanshuang nodded: "It's almost the death of my parents, I'll go back to see my grandmother." ”

Many people have secretly looked at them, and Shen Hanshuang did not directly say anything about peace.

Even if Zhu Yinzhou learned that she was going to reconcile, he would not stop him, that was not what his character would do.

It's just that the emperor's rumor of the king of Pingnan has not yet been decided, and their juniors and departures are not suitable for publicity.

The left and right and the departure book have been written, and I wish Yinzhou will be able to see it when he returns home, and he is not in a hurry to explain it to him at this time.

Seeing that Shen Hanshuang did not continue to be angry with him because of Chen Lanshuang, he should have figured it out, so Zhu Yinzhou didn't explain more, and only said:

"I'll order a team of men and horses to escort you along the way."

"Thank you, Shizi," Shen Hanshuang said calmly, "I left something in the room, don't forget to see it when Shizi returns home." ”

and the book is complete, and the follow-up affairs of the government and the ancestral hall will be handled by Grandpa for Shen Hanshuang.

And the members of the royal family also need to change the jade, that is, the royal family tree, otherwise Zhu Yinzhou will not be able to marry others. He had to do it himself.

Zhu Yinzhou bowed slightly, and then ordered the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate in a clear voice: "Let them out of the city." ”

Things went well, and Shen Hanshuang didn't say anything to Zhu Yinzhou anymore, and withdrew her gaze indifferently and returned to the carriage with her skirt.

Zhu Yinzhou also turned on his horse and pulled the reins towards Miyagi.

After the horse marched for a few breaths, Zhu Yinzhou's calm appearance appeared in front of him.

He suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Zhu Yinzhou turned around and looked at the carriage that was gradually leaving Chang'an City.

Before the death of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he would take time to rush to Luoyang. By then, the matter on Chang'an's side has also subsided, and he can stay with Shen Hanshuang in Luoyang for a few days, and then return to Chang'an together.

Will see her again soon.

The uneasiness dissipated.

Zhu Yinzhou instructed the guard Jieyun who was following him: "You go back to the house and get the things prepared by the princess." ”

Shen Hanshuang deliberately didn't prepare anything for him when she was angry with him that day, and Zhu Yinzhou guessed that now that she figured it out, what she would stay in the room after that would be clothes and pastries would be as usual.

Zhu Yinzhou came to the city gate to see that Shen Hanshuang was already busy, so naturally he would not take a detour back to the house to get these things.

After receiving the order, Broken Cloud was about to leave, but Zhu Yinzhou stopped him again and changed his mind: "You follow and secretly protect the princess." ”

"You don't have to rush back after sending people to Luoyang, just continue to follow her secretly. I'll take a trip to Luoyang. ”

Broken Cloud immediately arched his hand and said: "Obey orders." ”

But after turning around and leaving the hidden place, Broken Cloud was still a little surprised.

He and Shui Yu are bright and dark, and they are dedicated to protecting the safety of the prince. Today was the first time that the prince had told him to do chores, and he had turned to protect another person.

The prince and the princess have been married for three years, and it was only at this time that Broken Cloud was finally able to determine that for the prince, the princess was indeed different from others.

Zhu Yinzhou was still sitting on his horse and watched Shen Hanshuang's carriage drift away.

He suddenly understood why he felt that something was wrong—

In the past, when he left, Shen Hanshuang would watch him go away from behind.

Although Zhu Yinzhou never looked back, he could feel that Shen Hanshuang's soft gaze had been falling on him.

But today, the person who has never looked back is her.
