The third prince Shen Li returned triumphantly from defeating the enemy army, and some people were really happy and some were worried. Above the Jinluan Palace, although Shen Duyi was full of comfort, it was not difficult to see that his eyes were much darker, and his face was much older. I think it was the death of the summer queen, which hit him hard.

"Father, the son is fortunate to live up to his mission and return from chaos. ”

Shen Li was dressed in silver armor, and as soon as he entered the stable, he entered the palace face saint. Shen Duyi stood up from the golden seat, walked down the steps to Shen Li's side, and personally bent down to help him up.

"Yes!

Seeing this, the officials in the hall looked at each other, knowing that the future lord of the Daming River and Mountain was afraid that it was a foregone conclusion. Those who supported the Three Princes in the past were naturally very happy. And those who support the eldest prince can't help but start worrying.

"Your Majesty, the third prince, Rong Chen asked a lot of questions. The eldest prince is guarding Lancheng with the third prince and the seventh prince, and now that the rebellion has been put down, why is only the third master returning to Beijing?"

Shen Li's cold eyes swept over, frank and swaying. "The eldest prince Shen Yao has committed treason with the enemy, and he has been killed by me and under the sword. Believe it or not, whether it is true or not, Your Majesty will naturally see the details and do not bother your lords. As for the Seven Princes......"

"You don't have to say more, I already know. ”

Shen Duyi waved his hand to interrupt him, even though it had been a long time, every time he mentioned it, he still couldn't help but be sad. Ayan is his favorite child, he is willing to give him all the good things in this world, but he doesn't want anything, only a free sky.

But the child was well-behaved and sensible, and when the enemy came to attack, he took the initiative to ask for help. Although he is a little playful, when it comes to the survival of the country and the safety of the people, he understands his position and identity, and is willing to take on heavy responsibilities. I never thought about it...... In the end, he ended up with a white-haired man sending a black-haired man.

"Ah Li, it's been hard for you to come back all the way, so it's better to go back and rest early. After two days, my father will hold a celebration banquet for you. ”

"Yes, the retainers retired. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Li turned around and left. He just said that the eldest prince was beheaded by him under the sword, and when the emperor heard this, he only showed a little surprise, as if he had guessed it a long time ago, and did not pursue it more. Speaking of which, Shen Duyi's preference for the two sons of the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince is not for a while. Almost everyone in the imperial city knows it, which makes the eldest prince indignant all the time.

The Seventh Master has always had no intention of ruling the government, only the eldest prince and the third prince are fighting each other. Now, the third master has finally cleared all the obstacles, the eldest prince is dead, and the life and death of the seventh prince are unknown. And looking at the emperor's attitude, the ministers basically have it in their hearts.

The henchmen of the previous eldest prince saw that the general trend had gone. Then he hung his head and said no more. Their backers have fallen, and the clever ones are looking for another way. If you can't fight, you will tell the old man to return to his hometown.

The third prince is back, and the three princesses, who have been missing for a long time, are also back. The Ruiwang Mansion, which has been deserted, finally has some popularity. The few minions and maids who insisted on staying at the beginning turned red with excitement. While wiping away tears, he helped to organize the salute.

Mu Yan stepped out of the carriage and saw the familiar scenery of the familiar street, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. When I left with joy, I thought it would be just a very short journey. Who would have thought that it would be like a passing year, not very bleak, and the ups and downs of this road have long been indescribable.

"Let's go inside. ”

Shen Li didn't know when he came to her side, and he seemed to be quite touched, and his voice was a little hoarse. Mu Yan looked up at him, and suddenly remembered the chance encounter at the Lantern Festival that year. He said to her, "Let's go home", three simple words, but it warmed her for a whole winter.

Feelings sometimes come a little inexplicably, but as long as you are emotional, it is hard to forget. She has loved Shen Li for so long, and she has never known why she fell in love with him? She was hurt so deeply by Shen Li, and she didn't know why she didn't hate him? She was moved by Princess Xia's persistent stupidity, so even if there was no reason, she had no regrets.

Such persistence lasted until Xiao Qi's departure.

It's like the belief that supported her collapsed, when she was injured all over her body in the past, she was only disheartened by Shen Li, but she never had a trace of resentment. But the moment she saw Xiao Qi's body hanging on the city wall with her own eyes, she was furious in her heart, and she couldn't wait to peel Su Moxie and cramp, and she also hated Shen Li!

If Xiao Qi hadn't come to exchange hostages with her, then Xiao Qi wouldn't have had an accident at all. All along, she always felt very indebted to Xiao Qi. Unexpectedly, in the end, Xiao Qi gave his life for her. And it was Su Moxie who caused all this. It was Shen Li who proposed to exchange hostages.

Now the war has subsided, and the dead are gone. Even though she knew in her heart that Shen Li was not wrong, and everything he did was for her, she just couldn't let go. She began to think about some questions that she had never thought about, such as why she fell in love with Shen Li, why didn't she just leave? For example, if she never appeared, would it be a different ending for everyone? At least, Xiao Qi was still the handsome young man who lived freely and freely.

"What's wrong with the smoke?"

Shen Li's words of concern rang in her ears, causing her to retract her thoughts. Mu Yan shook his head and entered the mansion with Shen Li. The people in the house happily lined up and shouted "welcome home". Mu Yan raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled, and his heart was desolate.

Come home? yes, she's finally back. But the vicissitudes of life, things are not people, and she is no longer the Mu Yan of the year. If she can no longer love the owner of this family as deeply as she did back then, then can she still live happily?

Three days later, Shen Duyi held a celebration banquet in the palace to celebrate the triumphant return of the three princes after defeating the enemy country, and at the same time, without any warning, announced his abdication, and the throne was inherited by the third prince Shen Li. Although everyone had known the ending for a long time, such a sudden surprise still surprised everyone present.

Shen Li's resignation and shirk was not a joke on the spot, but Shen Duyi's body was still strong, and it was really unreasonable to abdicate so early. But Shen Duyi had already made up his mind, ignored it, and immediately wrote an edict to drink three glasses of wine, and then left to rest.

Shen Li followed the past, and the father and son walked side by side in the imperial garden. After all these years, this is the first time that their father and son have been alone so leisurely. Shen Li wanted to persuade him to abdicate at first, but Shen Duyi sternly refused, and his attitude was very resolute. At this point, Shen Lisui didn't say anything more.

Shen Li told Shen Duyi that Mu Yan was still alive, but because of the incident with the seventh brother, he was estranged from him. Shen Duyi smiled and said to him, everything should not be forced, what is yours is always yours, not yours, no matter what, it is in vain.

They are no longer in a relationship between monarchs and ministers at the moment, but real father and son. Shen Duyi patted Shen Li's shoulder with a loving expression.

He said, "Kid, I'm sorry. The road ahead will be hard for you. As a father, I don't ask you to create a century-old prosperity for Daming, I just hope that you can live happily. I'm sorry to hand over such a heavy burden to you, I wanted you to be free for a few more years, but unfortunately I can't hold on......"

Before Shen Duyi finished speaking, he covered his mouth and coughed violently. Shen Li patted him on the back with worry and helped him calm down. I finally stopped, let go of my hand, and my eyes were crimson
