Zhu Yinzhou's expression was calm, as if he casually sandwiched the letter sent back by Broken Cloud into a book of poems in his hand.

Someone from the palace invited him to the palace, and Zhu Yinzhou got up and left the forbidden camp.

After entering the palace, Zhu Yinzhou first listened to his father ask about a few political affairs in the court, and after he answered them one by one, he listened to his father's voice, and suddenly asked him: "Can you talk to Shen Xiang about postponing the crown princess's canonization?" ”

"It's already been said." Zhu Yinzhou replied truthfully.

In the past, when he said this, his father would not continue to ask.

But today, Zhu Yinzhou heard his father ask, "What did Shen Xiang say?" ”

Zhu Yinzhou fell silent and did not answer.

He understood, and his father already knew.

Seeing that Zhu Yinzhou was silent, the emperor couldn't help but raise his voice: "If I don't mention it, how long do you plan to hide it?" ”

"Do you want to hide it from Hanshuang and tell me when she finds another lover?"

Zhu Yinzhou suddenly raised his eyes to look at his father.

"Watch me do what?" The emperor was a little helpless, "The book has been completed, can you still stop her from remarrying?" ”

Looking at Zhu Yinzhou's appearance of clearly caring but still having a cold face and not revealing the slightest thought, the emperor was anxious and angry.

No wonder the daughter-in-law doesn't want him anymore.

Anyone who spends all day facing such an ice lump will be disheartened.

The emperor wanted to persuade him gently, but after thinking about it, he continued: "If you have been married for three years, you still don't have those men and women affection for her, and you still can't be a husband and wife with the same heart, in my opinion, it's okay to be divorced." ”

"Hanshuang is a good child, and she is the pearl of the palm carefully raised by the Shen family and the Ming family, she should find a Langjun who knows cold and hot, and can be in love with her, our family can't delay her."

"This marriage was originally negotiated by our elders, and there is no affection between you."

Seeing that Zhu Yinzhou was unmoved, the emperor finally said: "I will order someone to announce that you have reconciled and separated, and when the record on the jade is changed, I will ask the queen to find another marriage for you." ”

Zhu Yinzhou knew that his father was deliberately provoking himself, but he finally said out loud: "No need. ”

"A son will not marry someone else."

Seeing that he rarely showed what he wanted and what he didn't want, the emperor stopped stabbing him with words.

"On the night of Zhu Qing's forced palace, there was a murder in the Jiang family in Luoyang." The Emperor took up another story.

"Thirty-six lives, including Jiang Jibai's parents, were poisoned, and none survived. This case has a bad impact, you go and find out. ”

Jiang Jibai is the first assistant of the current dynasty, and he is only twenty-three years old this year.

Since the beginning of the physical deterioration, in order to listen to the opinions of all parties in political affairs, in addition to the left and right ministers who are over 40 years old, the first emperor also added the position of first assistant. Two years ago, the first emperor carefully selected and appointed the young Jiang Jibai as the first assistant.

Jiang Jibai was extremely talented when he was a teenager, not only did he get the top prize in the examination before he was weak, but he also won the first place from the county examination to the palace examination, and he had a good score of six yuan in a row. After entering the dynasty as an official, Jiang has always adhered to his original intentions, and has repeatedly put forward good policies to benefit the country and the people, and he is a capable minister who can be of great use.

However, the Jiang family in Luoyang was wiped out overnight, and the case was in an uproar.

This kind of important case should have been handed over to the Criminal Department for investigation and trial, but in order to show the importance of Jiang Jibai and to accumulate prestige for the crown prince, the emperor originally planned to hand over this murder case to Zhu Yinzhou for investigation.

Now that his daughter-in-law wants to reconcile with him, Zhu Yinzhou's trip is even more indispensable.

Zhu Yinzhou understood the relationship and agreed.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but ask him, "If I don't arrange it like this, what are you going to do?" ”

"Could it be that you just hide that book and keep deceiving yourself?"

Zhu Yinzhou knew that his father was still tempting, but he didn't answer, but said, "Erchen will find out the murder case of the Jiang family." ”

But only Zhu Yinzhou himself knew that he could no longer deceive himself.

By Shen Hanshuang's side, there is no shortage of him.

So when she left Chang'an and left him, she never hesitated or looked back.

But Zhu Yinzhou only knew that he couldn't lose her after Shen Hanshuang no longer wanted to continue to be his wife.

Harvest Yu has already bought all the things that the crown princess ordered to sell back to the palace.

Those were all gifts that the crown princess and the crown prince had given each other, not ordinary objects that could be seen everywhere, because it was easy to sell them, and it took more thought and money to buy them back. And in order not to attract attention, the rain harvest must be changed many times and carried out secretly.

But compared with the previous task, this errand was neither dangerous nor complicated, and after the rain was quickly completed, and after personally sending all these things back to the palace, he went to the prince to return to his life.

Zhu Yinzhou had just come out of the palace, and after learning about it, he also returned to the palace.

He had not yet decided whether he wanted to open another mansion or continue to live in the palace.

These family affairs should be decided according to Shen Hanshuang's wishes. Therefore, Zhu Yinzhou still lives with Shen Hanshuang in Mingxi Courtyard as his home.

After looking at the things he and Shen Hanshuang had given each other one by one, Zhu Yinzhou ordered to collect the rain and prepare to leave for Luoyang two days later.

After listening carefully to his orders and keenly sensing the eagerness in the prince's words, he immediately understood that if it weren't for the affairs in the forbidden military camp that needed to be arranged, the prince would probably leave today.

This is not the way the prince used to be. But since the day of the death of the first emperor, the crown prince seems to have gradually changed from the past after returning to the palace.

It no longer looks like the snow in the mountains far away from the fireworks of the world.

Finally had some mortal emotions.

*

No matter what happens in the mansions, Chang'an City is as lively as ever.

In an inn not far from Long Street, Chen Lanshuang was leaning against the window of the guest room on the third floor, quietly watching the crowd of people below.

She is clearly Chen Xiang's daughter, but now she is homeless and has been living in the inn for several days.

When the forbidden army ensnared the rebels before, Chen Lanshuang was coerced hostage by the rebels and was injured in the shoulder. But except for Lin Zhi, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, who came to visit her on business, no one came to see her again.

Until today, when the left minister came to the inn with dignity.

Behind her, Chen Xiang, who looked serious, did not sit down, but only stood in the distance and said: "I thought you had already made arrangements for your own future, so you would cooperate with the new prince and bring down Zhu Qing." ”

Chen Lanshuang knew that her father's words had not yet been finished, so she did not speak.

"Being able to judge the situation in time after Zhu Qingsheng turned against him, and chose to cooperate with Zhu Yinzhou, it shows that you are a brain."

"But you seem to have miscalculated, and at the moment he doesn't see you as special." Chen Xiang said in a deep voice.

Chen Lanshuang still did not retract her gaze on the long street, and said softly: "This matter must be considered in the long run, Shen Hanshuang has already left Chang'an, I ......"

"But Zhu Yinzhou is going to Luoyang soon." Chen Xiang interrupted her impatiently.

Chen Lanshuang was surprised: "How could he ......?"

She paused, and then said firmly: "He is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private. ”

Chen Xiang: "This matter was arranged by the emperor, and it was not considered to be a private abolition." This trip is obviously to investigate the case, but guess he'll go to see Shen Hanshuang? ”

"In my opinion, he is not the woman who doesn't care about him as you say."

Seeing that Chen Lanshuang was silent, Chen Xiangwu arranged to himself: "I will order someone to escort you to Luoyang to visit relatives, so as not to attract people's eyes, you will set off this afternoon, one step ahead of Zhu Yinzhou." ”

"Anyway, this is your last chance. If you can't be the crown princess anymore, the Chen family will only be without you. ”

When Zhu Qing intended to marry Chen Lanshuang, Chen Xiang thought she would refuse, but she didn't expect that she would think about it all night behind closed doors, and then nodded and agreed.

Although it is a continuation, she is also a legitimate princess. Chen Xiangben had expectations for the help that Chen Lanshuang could bring to the Chen family.

But Zhu Qing did not withstand the last temptation of the first emperor, couldn't hold his breath, and made a move to force the palace. After the fall of Zhuqing, Chen Lanshuang, who married him as his wife, was the abandoned son of the Chen family.

She was able to cooperate with Zhu Yinzhou in time, which can be regarded as a credit and saved her own life. But this was not enough for the Chen family to have extra involvement with the widow left behind by the traitors.

But if Chen Lanshuang really has the ability to remarry Zhu Yinzhou, who is far more likely to ascend to the throne than Zhu Qing, even if it is only for the crown prince's side concubine, Chen Xiang is willing to use the Chen family to pave the way for her and send her to the back seat.

"Before the first emperor died, he left an edict that he wanted you to be martyred for Zhu Qing. It was I who pleaded with the emperor to let you live like those concubines, don't let me down. Chen Xiang said in a calm voice.

Chen Lanshuang's face was not obvious, and her attitude was supple: "My daughter understands." ”

But she knew in her heart that it was clearly the emperor and Shen Xiangren's heart, so she and those concubines didn't have to be martyred.

When Lin Zhi came to visit Chen Lanshuang, he mentioned this matter to her.

This matter should not be publicized, but in order to prevent Chen Lanshuang from being used by Chen Xiang and doing anything that would affect the overall situation, Shen Xiangcai instructed Lin Zhi to reveal the inside story with her.

Every time she sees the hypocrisy and ugliness of her biological father, Chen Lanshuang can always feel a little absurd and interesting.

The news that Zhu Yinzhou was going to Luoyang had not yet spread, but several important ministers of the court had already known in advance.

When Shen Xiang learned of this, he realized that the emperor and the crown prince were probably unwilling to end the marriage.

Otherwise, he would not have dragged on the one hand and not made public the fact that Shen Hanshuang and Zhu Yinzhou had reconciled, and on the other hand, he would let Zhu Yinzhou go to Luoyang.

This time the prince was arranged to investigate the case, although it was indeed for official business, it is difficult to say that there was no selfishness in it.

But Shen Xiang promised his granddaughter that he would take care of the matter for her.

And the prince suppressed the letter of harmony for no apparent reason, even if Shen Hanshuang left Chang'an, he was afraid that he would not be free, and he would be stumped into the matter of keeping filial piety.

The royal family needs to keep filial piety for the first emperor for 27 months, not to mention that Shen Hanshuang was nearly twenty-one years old at that time, delaying her to find a lover again, just saying that she wants her granddaughter to keep filial piety for her ex-husband's grandfather for a long time, live in a simple house, fast meat and fish, and put an end to pleasures, Shen Xiang is unwilling from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Yuan immediately instructed the family to invite the elders of the Shen family to the ancestral hall.

He wants to announce that Shen Hanshuang has reconciled with the crown prince, change the content recorded in the family tree, and return his granddaughter to a free body.

He has been an official all his life, and if he can't even protect his favorite granddaughter, he will live in vain.

Shen Xiang had the intention to add fuel to the fire, and the news from the Shen Mansion spread quickly.

In the palace.

When Zhu Yinzhou was thinking about what to bring to Luoyang for Shen Hanshuang, Lin Zhi rushed to the palace.

Lin Zhi hurriedly walked into Zhu Yinzhou's study, and as soon as he saw him, he asked anxiously, "I heard that the crown princess and you have reconciled?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yinzhou clenched the jade pendant that he had always played with in the palm of his hand recently, and raised his eyes to look at him.
