13 Procrastination and evasion

Lin Zhi was still talking about Chen Lanshuang's injury when the forbidden army arrested the remnants of the rebel party, but Zhu Yinzhou didn't have the heart to think about anything according to his words.

His dark and deep eyes could only see the warm jade pendant.

After a while, I don't know what came to mind, Zhu Yinzhou retracted his gaze and no longer looked at the jade pendant that had been hung on Lin Zhi's waist.

"It's up to you." Zhu Yinzhou said with Lin Zhi.

Then he passed him sideways in silence and walked towards the forbidden army camp with his hands in his hands.

That is something that Shen Hanshuang has already sold, no matter how Lin Zhi got it, it has nothing to do with him, and Zhu Yinzhou will not interfere.

Seeing that Zhu Yinzhou should have other things to do, Lin Zhi also prepared to go to an inn in the city alone.

Although Chen Lanshuang decided to go to the guest house by herself, she is also Chen Xiang's daughter when she is not taken seriously.

Chen Lanshuang was injured because of the arrest of the rebels in the forbidden military camp, Zhu Yinzhou didn't go to visit, if Lin Zhi, who led the troops at that time, didn't go, I am afraid that Chen Xiang would take the handle and target the forbidden military camp.

The two walked with their backs to each other.

But after a moment, Zhu Yinzhou paused.

He turned around and walked towards Lin Zhi again.

It was something that Shen Hanshuang had given him.

Nature is related to him.

It should only be about him.

Lin Zhi was stopped by Zhu Yinzhou, and when he explained his purpose concisely, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he took off the jade pendant and asked, "Why do you suddenly want this jade pendant?" ”

"Don't you never use these things?"

Even if there is no official business, it is often necessary to practice martial arts in the forbidden barracks, and it is inconvenient to wear superfluous objects.

And if you leave jade pendants, sachets and other items outside, it will add trouble, and Zhu Yinzhou has never needed these.

In this matter, Lin Zhi is the same as him. Every time his mother bought these things for him, Lin Zhi only wore them occasionally, and when the elders were satisfied with them, Lin Zhi would put them away.

Lin Zhi was originally curious and asked casually. With Zhu Yinzhou's temperament, he didn't think about what Zhu Yinzhou would say more to him.

But to Lin Zhi's surprise, Zhu Yinzhou asked him coldly: "Reluctant?" ”

Lin Zhi: ?

Is Zhu Yinzhou's words literal?

Or is there something he didn't understand?

Lin Zhi had already untied the jade pendant and handed it to Zhu Yinzhou, and said bluntly: "It's just a jade pendant, what's there to be reluctant to?" If you like it, just take it. ”

Zhu Yinzhou has a cold temperament, although Lin Zhi does not dare to say that he and he are brothers with different surnames who can communicate with each other, but they have known each other for many years, and they don't care about these vulgar things.

Zhu Yinzhou took the jade pendant and glanced at it, then held it into his palm, and said lightly: "I will have someone send the silver ticket to the Lin Mansion." ”

Lin Zhihun waved his hand absently, "It's rare for you to open your mouth once, can I still ask you for money?" ”

This jade pendant is naturally a good thing, and it is not a small amount when converted into silver coins, but it is just a small object to wear and play with in the Lin family, and it is nothing to Zhu Yinzhou, who was born in the royal family.

The two of them didn't say anything more, and went about their own business.

Lin Zhi just walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered that when his mother gave him this jade pendant a few days ago, she said that this jade pendant was one of the things that the crown princess sent out from the palace to sell that day. Because of the high quality and the delicate patterns carved on the surface, many people want to buy it.

Zhu Yinzhou, what's wrong?

What he sold from his house, he would want to go back again?

I had never seen him care so much about these foreign objects before.

But Zhu Yinzhou did not wear it after returning to the jade pendant.

After he took it into his arms, he began to compare the map of Chang'an City and rearrange the deployment of the forbidden army.

Several hours passed, and Zhu Yinzhou seemed to be dealing with business without distraction.

But the jade pendant placed in his heart reminded him of the existence of certain things from time to time.

After unconsciously going out of his mind again, Zhu Yinzhou finally put aside the wolf pen in his hand and called the guards guarding in the dark to collect the rain and come out.

"Buy back what the crown princess sold before." He commanded.

The rain fell immediately, and I turned to it.

Collecting rain and breaking clouds are both the prince's guards, the two are still and moving, dark and bright, and the only thing in common is that everything is to protect the prince's safety first.

In the past, the prince had never ordered them to do anything else. But since that day, the crown prince asked Duan Yun to secretly escort the crown princess back to Luoyang, and both of them realized that in the future, their tasks should be more and more related to the crown princess.

Sure enough, now that the rain is harvesting, he has received his new task.

He didn't ask much, but he understood that the prince meant that every item that the crown princess ordered people to sell from the palace must be recovered, and there must be no missing.

Following.

In the palace, in the Funing Palace.

The emperor originally planned to continue to deal with the backlog of twists and turns when the first emperor was seriously ill today, but the queen sent someone to invite him, saying that he had something important to discuss, so he came to the queen's bedroom.

But after listening to the queen's words, the emperor hesitated a little: "Hanshuang really wants to reconcile with Yinzhou?" ”

The queen frowned slightly, nodded, and continued: "Hanshuang's trip back to Luoyang is not just because her parents' death is approaching. ”

"Before leaving Beijing, Hanshuang also brought her dowry back to the Shen Mansion."

Hearing this, the emperor's expression was a little solemn.

He knew that Shen Hanshuang was not impulsive and reckless, and since he decided to reconcile and leave, and took away all the dowry, he made up his mind to draw a line with Zhu Yinzhou.

"You didn't stop her?" The emperor subconsciously asked.

The queen paused and explained gently: "She came to see the concubine before she left the palace, but when she saw that she had made up her mind, the concubine did not interfere rashly, so as not to make her resistant to the palace." ”

"Moreover, Hanshuang said that Yinzhou once gave her a letter of divorce on the night of the wedding, and she also signed and sealed it, and the letter of divorce has been completed."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "He actually gave the bride and a letter of divorce on the day of the wedding? ”

The queen was also a little helpless when she learned about this.

"There have been a lot of things in Chang'an City recently, so it's good for Hanshuang to go back to Luoyang for a while. The concubine thought that when Yinzhou was busy with the affairs at hand, it would be best to go to Luoyang in person to see if there was room for redemption. ”

"In the end, it is a matter between their husband and wife, we don't know the inside story, and if we influence it, it is easy to backfire."

The emperor thought about it for a while, and also felt that the key to the matter should be on Zhu Yinzhou. Even if the queen comes forward to leave Shen Hanshuang behind, I'm afraid it won't help.

"You're worried about Yinzhou." The Emperor said.

"It's all what a concubine should do."

The queen's voice was gentle, and she said unhurriedly: "In all fairness, the concubine can't love the prince as much as she loves Zhu Xun, and she can't replace his biological mother, but the concubine will do her best." ”

The emperor said softly, "You have done a good job. ”

People's hearts are biased.

It's not that he doesn't love his second son Zhu Xun, but in the end he owes Zhu Yinzhou more. Zhu Yinzhou and his biological mother also had a special meaning to the emperor.

If the empress said that she would treat her two sons equally and without partiality, the emperor would not believe it.

In the past ten years, with her, Pingnan Wangfu has lived a peaceful life, and the two children are also older. It is because the emperor has never taken a concubine in the past, and he will not draft a concubine in the future.

"I chased Empress Duanjing...... "The emperor wanted to say something but stopped.

"The concubines all understand." The queen was empathetic.

Seeing this, the words prepared by the emperor were useless.

The two men said a few more ordinary words, and the emperor got up to leave.

The queen sent him out of the door, and then returned to the palace, where she continued to flip through the half-read book.

The two have been married for more than ten years, although they can't be called affectionate, but they also raise their eyebrows and respect each other.

Close relatives to distant couples, nothing more than that.

*

While walking on the royal road, the emperor kept thinking about his daughter-in-law's desire to reconcile with his son.

He said before that he would postpone the canonization ceremony of the crown princess, and Zhu Yinzhou also went to the Shen Mansion in person because of this ceremony.

In any case, Zhu Yinzhou should know Shen Hanshuang's decision and attitude.

But he didn't even say a word, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared the canonization ceremony of the crown princess.

It seems that he is deliberately hiding and delaying something.

In the past, no matter what situation he encountered, Zhu Yinzhou could deal with it easily, and there was never a time to escape.

Now that his wife is about to be reconciled and divorced from him, he has buried himself in self-deception.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh and instructed the attendants beside him: "Go and see what the prince is busy with, let him enter the palace." ”

Such a big thing happened, but Zhu Yinzhou stayed in Chang'an as steadily as Mount Tai, and even personally sent Hanshuang out of the city that day.

But if he wanted to say that he didn't care, he just concealed that Shen Hanshuang wanted to reconcile with him.

The emperor sometimes really didn't understand what his son was thinking.

Could it be that if it is delayed like this, Shen Hanshuang will be able to appear at the crown princess's canonization ceremony?

*

Since that day, after seeing Shen Hanshuang staying in the house and leaving the book, Zhu Yinzhou has not returned to the palace and stayed in the forbidden military camp for several days.

The remnants of the traitorous party have been eliminated, and the people in the forbidden military camp originally thought that the most critical time had passed.

But when the prince was now in the camp day and night, everyone was on their heels, lest something great was about to happen.

Otherwise, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be so busy? I didn't even go home.

Zhu Yinzhou doesn't have any speculation in the accident world, he is only immersed in business every day, and he is not distracted to think about and leave.

Until today, the news that the rain had sent back the broken clouds was handed to Zhu Yinzhou.

Generally, only when something important happens, the flying pigeon of the palace will be used to transmit the message, Zhu Yinzhou thought that something happened to Shen Hanshuang on the way to Luoyang, and quickly raised his eyebrows and unfolded the letter.

But after reading it, Zhu Yinzhou's expression was slightly stunned as never before.

Duan Yun specially wrote to tell him that in addition to Lin Yuanhui, Shen Hanshuang's cousin Ming Shubai also had those thoughts about her out of the love of men and women.

Zhu Yinzhou has seen Ming Shubai, who is a gentleman who is meticulous and has a gentle and easy-going personality.

But he never thought that Ming Shubai was also happy with Shen Hanshuang.

He didn't know.

Shen Hanshuang is not bad in any place, and she is naturally worthy of anyone's heart and admiration.

But she was clearly his wife for a long time.
