Although Fang Cai Zhu Yinzhou and Shen Hanshuang glanced at each other from a distance, there was actually only a quiet courtyard in between.

But before Zhu Yinzhou walked out of the corridor, a tall figure appeared next to him, blocking his way.

"The last general has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin Yuanhui bowed and said in a voice that only two people could hear and would not attract the attention of others.

The words were respectful, but Lin Yuanhui and Zhu Yinzhou both knew that he was deliberately stopping here, not wanting him to get close to Shen Hanshuang.

Zhu Yinzhou looked at him with closed eyes, his eyes seemed to be emotionless, and he said lightly: "I don't remember when you were transferred to the Luoyang military camp. ”

An understatement, but with an inexplicable sense of oppression that can make people's heartstrings tight.

After his father became the de facto owner of the palace and announced that he would be appointed as the crown prince, everyone called Zhu Yinzhou "His Royal Highness the Prince".

But this is the first time that Zhu Yinzhou calls himself "lonely".

Even when he was in the palace with strict rules before, Zhu Yinzhou was not like this. Although he treats people detachedly, he is not domineering, and he has always only said "I" to his peers.

Zhu Yinzhou didn't think about why he suddenly changed because of Lin Yuanhui.

Lin Yuanhui could naturally feel the suppression from Zhu Yinzhou's identity and bearing, but he did not back down.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the point. Leaving the camp without permission is the last sin. After returning to Chang'an, the last general will definitely go to the military law to deal with it. ”

"But today, His Royal Highness appeared in Jiang Mansion, it should be for official business, and it is not appropriate to make side dishes."

Lin Yuanhui didn't say it explicitly, but he and Zhu Yinzhou both knew that he was referring to Shen Hanshuang in his words.

The news that Chang'an sent the prince to investigate the murder of the Jiang family has spread, but few people know that Zhu Yinzhou has hurried and rushed to Luoyang in advance.

Today in Jiangfu, Zhu Yinzhou did not show up to show his identity, but only stood in an inconspicuous place to observe the people who came to the Jiang family to mourn.

At the funeral of the Jiang family, whether it is public or private, Zhu Yinzhou is not suitable to show up and say anything to Shen Hanshuang.

It's not that Zhu Yinzhou doesn't understand this.

But when he saw the wordless tacit understanding between Jiang Jibai and Shen Hanshuang when they got along, he put all other considerations aside for a while.

But why is this so?

Zhu Yinzhou pressed his eyebrows lightly, hiding the unknown emotions in his heart, and no longer paid attention to Lin Yuanhui.

Under the corridor on the other side of the courtyard, Jiang Jibai did not hear the conversation between Zhu Yinzhou and Lin Yuanhui, but he could see from the eyes of Shen Hanshuang and Zhu Yinzhou that she was unwilling to meet Zhu Yinzhou at this time.

He asked softly: "I don't know when Shu Bai's side will be busy, why don't I send you back to the Ming Mansion first?" ”

Shen Hanshuang's heart was slightly paused, and naturally he didn't agree: "No need, I'll wait a little longer." You're going to do your thing. ”

Fang Caijiang didn't see it, but he could see it clearly when he faced Shen Hanshuang over there.

For some reason, Zhu Yinzhou originally planned to come over to her, but fortunately, Lin Yuanhui stopped him.

Maybe no one has noticed Zhu Yinzhou, but there are many people in Luoyang who know Shen Hanshuang. After she entered the door, many people looked at her openly and secretly.

Since the news of Shen Hanshuang's reconciliation with the new prince spread, there have been many true and false rumors in Luoyang City.

The Jiang family is holding a funeral today, and no one will come to Shen Hanshuang to talk about it, but if someone recognizes him when she is with Zhu Yinzhou, it will inevitably be possible to take the lead, which is too rude.

And where is the reason for Jiang Jibai to send her back to her home, but to leave all the visitors behind?

But it seems that Zhu Yinzhou should not come over again. She didn't have to go out of her way to leave before her cousin.

Seeing that Shen Hanshuang had his own considerations, Jiang was neither reluctant nor reluctant, and said softly: "Then I'll stay here for a while, and when Shu Bai comes back, I'll leave." ”

There are not many people who come to the Jiang family to mourn today, and there are still the princes and Fu Yin's subordinates guarding the shadows, but in the end, there has just been a murder, and Jiang Jibai is still not at ease to leave Shen Hanshuang here alone.

Shen Hanshuang understood that he was thinking about his own safety, and couldn't help but feel that Jiang Jibai was a little too worried about her.

Xu was because he had just met Zhu Yinzhou, and Shen Hanshuang suddenly remembered the night when the rebels forced the palace and besieged the Pingnan Palace.

At that time, even Zhu Yinzhou, who was her husband, was relieved to leave her in the mansion and turn to protect another woman.

Shen Hanshuang thought that he had forgotten these past events, but he never thought that the feeling of being ignored and left behind had not been completely eliminated.

As it turned out, she wasn't incapable of facing the chaos of that night.

Active choice and passive undertaking are different after all.

Shen Hanshuang lowered her eyelashes and withdrew from the memories that had already fallen into ashes.

After a while, Ming Shubai came back with Ming Shuxue, and Lin Yuanhui was also with them.

Several people said goodbye to Jiang Jibai, and then went back to the Ming Mansion together.

After returning home, Ming Shu Baicai told Shen Hanshuang alone that Lin Yuanhui deliberately went to find him and informed him that the prince was also in the Jiang family, and he and Ming Shuxue would come back in advance.

"Cousin doesn't want to see the prince?" Ming Shubai asked tentatively.

Shen Hanshuang shook her head, nodded again, and explained: "I originally just felt that there was no need to meet again, but now, I really don't want to see him again." ”

Shen Hanshuang has been withdrawn from that fruitless marriage, but in the end, she can't erase all those memories in an instant.

No matter how unforgettable the past is, there will be a day when it will be covered and dusty, Shen Hanshuang originally planned to go with the flow, not deliberately remembering or deliberately ignoring.

It's like she doesn't have to deliberately meet Zhu Yinzhou, and she doesn't have to deliberately avoid him.

But after seeing Zhu Yinzhou today, it seemed that the pages of a book that had not been read for a long time were unintentionally brushed by someone and fell into dust, and Shen Hanshuang began to recall the self who had been begging all day long.

She didn't like that kind of Shen Hanshuang, so she didn't want to see him again.

Ming Shubai: "Since you don't want to see the prince, if he comes to the Ming Mansion, do you need someone to stop him?" ”

Shen Hanshuang said softly: "No need, he won't come." ”

Zhu Yinzhou has no reason to see her, and he will not abolish the public for personal reasons, and will not investigate the case, but instead find the Ming Mansion.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zhu Yinzhou really found it, with his identity, he couldn't stop it. There would be no real loss in meeting him, and there was no need for the people of the Ming family to risk offending the crown prince.

The Ming family will naturally protect her and put her before respecting the imperial power, but she can't rely on this to affect her family.

Ming Shubai also listened to her, and did not make any more arrangements, but only ordered people to pay more attention.

Sure enough, as Shen Hanshuang said, for a few days, she and Zhu Yinzhou did not meet again, and he did not come to the Ming family.

Shen Hanshuang no longer remembered this matter.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, Shen Hanshuang took the carriage of the Ming family, without spring leaves, and went to a mountain outside the city alone.

Although it has not yet reached the death anniversary of his parents, every Friday every month, Shen Hanshuang will go to his parents' tombs to sweep the tombs, and will also help his grandfather bring an extra pot of drunken Mingyue to his father.

Shen Hanshuang came to visit at twenty-five o'clock last month, but with her cousin and cousin that day, Shen Hanshuang didn't stay too long, and she didn't say much.

Today, she was the only one, and after Shen Hanshuang set up the fresh wine, food and fruits, she burned the paper money while softly telling her parents about what she had seen and passed recently.

When going down the mountain, Shen Hanshuang met Jiang Jibai in plain clothes on the road.

She thought of something and asked softly, "Are you also coming to see your mother?" ”

Jiang Jibai bowed slightly, and said, "This is the place she chose for herself, saying that it is pure." ”

Jiang Jibai's biological mother was actually not the mother of the Jiang family in one of the two coffins on the mourning hall that day, but his father's concubine, Gao.

At that time, the Jiang family's concubine Gao and the main mother Wang were pregnant one after another, and they gave birth on the same day. But Wang was born prematurely, and the child died just after birth.

It was the Gao family who took the initiative to swap the two children, which led to the Jiang family's only son-in-law, Jiang Jibai.

Even Jiang's father, who rushed home the next day, didn't know about this. If Jiang Jibai hadn't taken the initiative to confide in her about this many years ago, Shen Hanshuang would not have known.

When Shen Hanshuang was seven or eight years old, she ran to her parents' mound alone because she missed her parents, but she got lost in the mountains.

It was Jiang Jibai's biological mother, Gao, who met her and sent her back to the Ming family.

When Shen Hanshuang mentioned this past incident with Jiang Jibai, Jiang Jibai said that his mother wanted to come to find a cemetery for herself that day.

Jiang Jibai did not bury her biological mother in the place where the Jiang family's ancestral grave was located, but buried her on this mountain according to her own ideas.

Shen Hanshuang had received the favor of the Gao family, so it was reasonable that he should go with Jiang Jibai to incense the deceased.

When standing in front of that wordless tombstone, thinking of the people who had been gentle and patient all their lives, but they had died unexpectedly, Shen Hanshuang couldn't help but redden.

Jiang Jibai leaned over slightly, looked at her at eye level, and gently persuaded: "This is her own choice, don't be sad, don't cry." ”

"As a son of man, I can't shed a single tear, so you are only your red eyes for me."

"Thank you."

Hearing this, Shen Hanshuang still couldn't help but shed tears.

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and pretended to complain lightly: "How can you persuade people not to cry like this? ”

The more you persuade, the more sad it becomes.

Behind the dense ancient trees in the distance, Zhu Yinzhou couldn't help but subconsciously take half a step forward and stop in place.

Looking at it from here, Jiang Jibai seems to be ...... Kissed her.

Zhu Yinzhou knew that there was no, it was just misplaced.

But this delusion still made him feel depressed.

In the three years of husband and wife, he has never kissed her.

Zhu Yinzhou knew that when Shen Hanshuang was in Luoyang, he would come to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law every Friday every month.

He took the time to come here today to settle the private matter between them. But before he could show up and ask Shen Hanshuang why she suddenly wanted to separate, he heard her talk to her father-in-law and mother-in-law about the separation.

Zhu Yinzhou didn't mean to eavesdrop, but when she said the sentence "I have reconciled with Zhu Yinzhou" and didn't mention him again, Zhu Yinzhou unconsciously stopped walking out.

Shen Hanshuang later told her father-in-law and mother-in-law about Ming Shuxue's heart knot and the tragedy of the Jiang family, and even after saying that the raccoon slave had gained weight again, she didn't forget to mention that the pomegranate tree in Mingxi Courtyard grew very well and bloomed beautifully.

Only a word related to him was never mentioned again.

When he accompanied Shen Hanshuang to worship his father-in-law and mother-in-law in the past, he never said anything, but Shen Hanshuang talked to his father-in-law and mother-in-law about their recent life in detail.

Now, the person Shen Hanshuang misses is no longer his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

She is no longer his wife.

There are some indescribable emotions blocking Zhu Yinzhou's heart.

He couldn't figure it out, but he knew he didn't like the somewhat bitter feeling that it would never go away.

After worshipping the dead, Jiang Jibai sent Shen Hanshuang to the door of the Ming Mansion.

Shen Hanshuang said goodbye to him warmly, then stepped into the door of the mansion and walked inside.

saw Zhu Yinzhou standing in the courtyard not far away.

Shen Hanshuang didn't know his intention of coming to Ming's house today, so he stopped where he was and didn't step forward.

Zhu Yinzhou kept looking at Shen Hanshuang, and when he saw that she didn't mean to approach, he walked towards her.

It seems that he has something to say to her.

When Shen Hanshuang was wondering what else Zhu Yinzhou had to say to him, he had already stopped an arm away, and asked in a voice that was as cold as a spring:

"Just on the mountain, did he kiss you?"
