There are white tents hanging inside and outside the Ni Mansion, which looks particularly desolate.

I heard that Mrs. Ni was killed because she provoked the third princess, although everyone sighed, but few people dared to come forward to condole, for fear that they would also be affected.

Although the third princess was disfigured and was grounded by the emperor, she was a princess after all, and it was not easy to turn over old accounts in the future.

Everyone talked regretfully in front of Ni Fu.

This Ni clan's industry is not small in Lin'an City, but it is a pity that Shang Jia is a merchant after all, how can he be able to fight over the official? He is still a member of the royal family, and he will definitely not have a good time in the future.

In the sighs of the spectators, a carriage stopped in front of Ni Mansion, and there were many guards around.

Out of the carriage came a woman dressed in white, who looked very plain and had a white flower on her head.

Shen Yanshu ignored the eyes of the others, but walked directly into the Ni Mansion.

Mrs. Ni's death is inextricably linked.

Seeing Shen Yanshu coming, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss Ni Shang." ”

Shen Yan shook his head, followed the housekeeper to the mourning hall, and saw Ni Wan and Ni Zhan who were kneeling in the mourning hall.

Ni Wan looked up at Shen Yanshu, she just wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only continue to lower her head and burn paper for her mother.

Shen Yanshu stepped forward, knelt in front of Mrs. Ni's spirit, put on three sticks of incense, she got up and walked in front of Ni Wan, and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"You don't have to say I'm sorry. Ni Wan's voice was a little hoarse, "This can't be considered your fault." ”

If it weren't for her mother agreeing to cooperate with the five princes, things might not have developed step by step into what they are now, and she clearly knows how her mother treated Ni Shang, but she still can't accept the fact that her mother was brutally killed.

She looked up at Shen Yanshu and asked, "Why us?"

She didn't understand, since Ni Shang was the princess Ling of the Great Zhou, why did she choose to live in their house and live with them in the name of her family?

"Wan'er. Ni Zhen stepped forward and stopped her words.

Shen Yanshu didn't know how to explain, so he could only say, "I'm sorry." ”

Ni Zhen turned his head to Shen Yanshu and said, "Come to my study." ”

Shen Yan shook his head and followed Ni Zhen out.

In the study, Ni Zhen pondered for a long time before he spoke: "I should call you Miss Shen." ”

"Sorry for hiding it from you. Shen Yanshu said.

"Understandable. Ni Zhen said, "This can't be said on the surface, Miss Shen is careful about it, it's just ......."

Shen Yanshu said: "I respect the decision you made, and it doesn't matter if you don't obey the Qilin Order anymore." ”

Listening to Shen Yanshu's words, Ni Zhen's eyes flashed slightly.

He said: "I promised the first emperor that I would always obey the dispatch of the Qilin Talisman, as long as I can protect the Great Zhou, I am willing to sacrifice myself." I have lived in Lin'an for more than ten years, and I have stood firm step by step, living carefully, and never dared to make any mistakes in order to protect my family and mission. ”

"Neither Luo nor Wan'er knew my identity, it was Zhan'er, I didn't tell them, I just want them to live a normal life, have an ordinary and happy family, and let Wan'er and Zhan'er live this life happily. Two years ago, the Qi family suddenly collapsed, and I never contacted anyone again, I thought that my mission would end here, and I could live like an ordinary person. Until you show up. ”

Looking at Ni Zhen's appearance, Shen Yanshu stood in place and listened silently.

"I'm sorry. Ni Zhen said seriously.

Shen Yan shook his head, looked at Ni Zhen, and gave him a junior salute: "Thank you Uncle Ni for taking care of you these days." ”

"It was I who betrayed the trust of the first emperor. Ni Zhen said.

Shen Yanshu said: "It's just a personal choice, now that things have come to this point, Yuwen Yingzhu will definitely not let go of the Ni family in the future, can Uncle Ni consider returning to Da Zhou?"

If he is willing to go back, Shen Yanshu will definitely arrange for them, Ni Zhen has paid so much, she can't let him have worries.

However, Ni Zhen said: "I have already thought about this matter, we will leave Lin'an, and we may not return to Dazhou, this world is so big, there is always a place for our family." ”

Shen Yanshu lowered his eyebrows, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.

Walking out of Ni's Mansion, Shen Yanshu looked up at the blue sky, pure as if there were no troubles, and then looked back at Ni's Mansion, feeling a little pantothenic.

Maybe it's really because I don't have enough ability to convince others like my father.

When my father took over the Qilin Talisman, would there be some people who were not convinced? How did he solve it?

Shen Yanshu no longer knows, if his father is still here, how can there be such a situation......

She lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped into the carriage.

In the imperial study, Yu Wenrui was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed.

The emperor sat on the chair and looked at the song, raised his eyes to look at him, and said, "Don't think that I don't know, you can't get out of the matter of Ling Xiao and Yingzhu!"

There were only two of them in the imperial study, father and son, and the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Yu Wenrui's eyes flashed, and he said: "Erchen is guilty of failing to protect the fifth brother and the imperial sister. ”

"Protection?" said the Emperor with a sneer, "if you don't take the opportunity to stab you, it's a brotherhood." ”

Yu Wenrui said: "Father Emperor Mingjian, son-in-law does not. ”

"What's the matter with Princess Ling!" the emperor threw the fold in his hand on the table, looked at Yu Wenrui coldly, and said, "The person who was kidnapped by the fifth child to coerce you is Princess Ling, right?

Yu Wenrui looked up at the emperor in some surprise, it seemed that Yu Wen Lingxiao had complained to his father.

"What, there's nothing to say?" the emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Wenrui.

Yu Wenrui said: "Father Emperor Mingjian, this is clearly something out of nothing. ”

"You also admitted it last time, and you just had to say that person was Princess Ling!" The emperor looked at Yu Wenrui with heavy eyes, his eyes full of disappointment.

Yu Wenrui didn't expect this to happen, but he definitely couldn't tell the truth, otherwise his father would be even more disappointed in him than Yuwen Lingxiao.

He bowed his head and said, "The woman Erchen said last time was not Princess Ling, but the girl of the Ni family, Ni Wan. ”

"Are you going to fool me?" the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Yu Wenrui.

Yu Wenrui suddenly straightened up, looked at the emperor, and said: "Erchen didn't dare to deceive his father, everyone in the palace can testify, it was indeed Ni Wan who Erchen brought back to the prince's mansion that day, and the Ni family was a merchant family, so she didn't tell her name to her father at that time." ”

His serious appearance made the emperor shake a little, could it really be that Ling Xiao slandered the third child?

"What you say is true?" the Emperor asked again.

Yu Wenrui nodded firmly.

The emperor looked at him like this and said, "Then marry the girl of the Ni family as a side concubine." ”

Yu Wenrui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Father, the emperor ......"

"What?" the emperor looked at Yu Wenrui, his tone full of temptation.

Yu Wenrui was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and said: "I ask my father to fulfill it, and my son wants to marry her as a concubine." ”

Since he can't get Shen Yanshu, it's the same to marry anyone, and women are troublesome for him, so why do they need too much.

The emperor didn't expect him to say this, and was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Have you thought clearly?"

Yu Wenrui nodded seriously.

The prince has always been cautious in choosing concubines, most of them are to win over the courtiers who support him, in order to develop his own power, even if it is not the case, he will choose a woman from an official family, like Yu Wenrui, choosing a merchant girl as a concubine, which has to be surprising.

"Then let Qin Tianjian choose a date......

"Father, Ni Wan has just lost her mother, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to marry in the near future. Yu Wenrui reminded.

As soon as he said this, the emperor remembered that Yuwen Yingzhu killed Mrs. Ni.

He said: "Then we will make a marriage first, and then talk about it after a year." ”

"Thank you, Father. Yu Wenrui saluted and said.

The Emperor waved his hand and told him to retreat.

Looking at the back of Yu Wenrui leaving, the emperor sat back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

A eunuch walked in with tea, put the teacup on the table, and called softly: "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor came back to his senses, looked at the eunuch who was serving closely, and then picked up the teacup, blew lightly, and took a sip, the fragrance of tea spread between his mouths, and instantly alleviated the boredom in his heart a lot.

He put down the teacup, turned his head to look at the eunuch, and asked, "You say, am I really old?"

"Yo, don't say that, the emperor, you're still young!" said the old eunuch, "just like the rising sun, dazzling, how can you be old!"

The emperor shook his head and said, "You don't need to comfort me, look at these excerpts, I am exhausted, and the queen is still crying to me all day long, which is really annoying!"

The old eunuch's eyes flashed, and he said: "The emperor wants to protect the dragon body, don't you still have His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness has filial piety, and he must be willing to share it for the emperor." ”

"None of them are worry-free. The emperor shook his head, "Originally, Ling Xiao was a little promising, but now it seems ......"

The old eunuch smiled and did not answer.

The emperor pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Grind for me, and I want to draw up a decree." ”

"Yes. The old eunuch stepped forward, helped grind on one side, and asked puzzledly, "What is Your Majesty's will?"

The emperor paused, his eyes became firm, and he said calmly: "This crown prince's position should be settled." ”

The old eunuch's hand suddenly paused, and then said: "Your Majesty Shengming, with the crown prince, there will be someone to handle official affairs for Your Majesty, and the emperor will also save his worries and so many troubles at that time!"

The emperor turned his head to look at the old eunuch and said with a smile: "You say this, it seems that I made the prince out of greed for pleasure. ”

The old eunuch sneered: "It's the old slave who is too talkative." ”
