After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

"Don't worry," Shen Chuan patted her hand comfortingly, "You don't have to think about this. Taking good care of yourself is the most important thing."

Jiang Fuyue sighed: "I don't want to think about it, but..."

Now, she and Shen Chuan are husband and wife.

Moreover, since having this child, she has become more worried about Shen Chuan than before.

Although she didn't finish her words, Shen Chuan already understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, madam," Shen Chuan said with a smile, "I have my own plan."

Jiang Fuyue sighed.

Shen Chuan's words were just to reassure her.

Last time, Shen Chuan sent the seriously injured Liu Bohua to the third prince's house, which frightened the third prince. In order to appease him, His Majesty even let them attack Shen Chuan.

It can be seen that in the emperor's heart, there is a clear distinction between closeness and distance.

This time, there are no other available princes in the capital. The emperor only has one choice: the sixth prince, and he doesn't know what choice the emperor will make.

If the emperor insists on protecting the sixth prince, then Shen Chuan will be in danger.

Even if they have nothing to do now, when the sixth prince takes over the East Palace in the future, they will not have a good life.

Seeing Jiang Fuyue's sad face, Shen Chuan sighed helplessly.

He was not in a hurry to speak, but accompanied Jiang Fuyue to the lake in the backyard.

There is a piece of grass beside the lake, which has been kept very clean.

The two sat on the ground, and a breeze blew from the lake, bringing with it a faint coolness.

Guyu took a thick coat at the right time and put it on Jiang Fuyue, then turned around and retreated far away with Jingzhe.

"Do you think His Majesty will really abandon our Lord?" Jingzhe looked at the pair in the distance, but he couldn't hide the worry in his tone.

Guyu sighed: "On one side are the ministers and the eldest son who was seriously injured and unable to inherit the throne, and on the other side is His Highness the Sixth Prince who is in the spotlight..."

This is hard to say.

People like Shen Chuan are indeed rare.

But no matter how rare it is, in this big world, you will still find the second one.

But the sixth prince is His Majesty’s son.

The princes who are still in the capital today either have no intention of power struggle, are dependent on the sixth prince, or do nothing. From this point of view, the sixth prince is really the only one.

Jingzhe Guyu looked at each other and sighed quietly.

"It's okay, no big deal, we can go to Liangzhou!" Jingzhe pretended to be relaxed, "I heard from my wife that the people there in Liangzhou were personally arranged by the Minister of Civil Affairs, and they are all people who can do practical things. Let’s go there, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so we have nothing to fear!”

"Besides, Mrs. Zhou's base camp is in Liangzhou. Maybe if we go there, we can live better than in the capital!"

Even so, there was no less worry in her eyes.

Gu Yu also still looked solemn.

Her temperament has always been lively, and such a look is rarely seen on her face.

-

The assassination of the eldest prince and Shen Chuan at the same time seemed to have never happened, and it fell into strange silence.

Maybe there was someone behind it, but no one dared to guess who that person was.

In the next few days, there was no one in the court who could compete with the Sixth Prince.

The emperor used to always ask the eldest prince for his opinion, but now, he turned to ask the sixth prince.

Just like he did with the eldest prince before, every time the people below reported a matter, he would ask the sixth prince's opinion before making the final decision.

As for Shen Chuan, he seemed to have fallen silent after the assassination.

When he went to court, he just stood aside and said nothing about everything. Even if the emperor asked him specifically for his opinion, he would always respond perfunctorily and go home after the court, as if he wanted to fade away from the court.

Although everyone was sad about this, they were not surprised.

"Well, after all, Lord Shen has been at odds with the Sixth Prince for a long time. Now, His Majesty has made it clear that he relies on the Sixth Prince. Who knows when the Sixth Prince will take over the East Palace. By then, will Lord Shen still be able to fight against the Crown Prince?"

"That's right, but Master Shen is really not an ordinary person. He can see the situation clearly so early and retreat bravely. I think by the time His Highness enters the East Palace, the anger in His Highness's heart will be gone. Naturally, Master Shen and his family will It will be preserved!"

"But it's a pity to give up resistance so early and just retreat. Hiss - Master Shen has changed so much. I almost start to doubt whether the current Master Shen is the same as the former Master Shen. Are you alone?"

"What are you talking about! Mr. Shen has a family now! No matter how resolute Mr. Shen is, he still has to think about his wife now!"

The ministers discussed one after another, some with doubts and some with pity. However, these voices of discussion were hidden under the calm water and did not appear at all.

Being in the capital and in the court together, the Sixth Prince naturally knew everyone's comments.

But he didn't care.

Now, the general trend is on his side, but it is just a few idle words, and he will not take it to heart.

but……

The Sixth Prince breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm not going back to my mansion, I'm going to Shen's mansion."

"Yes." The guard outside responded, and the coachman turned the horse in the direction of Shen's house.

The front door of Shen's house has always been deserted, but half a month has passed, and now the deserted door of Shen's house is different from before.

In the eyes of the Sixth Prince, there was a smell of decay here.

As he walked into the main hall, a servant brought him a cup of spring tea.

The sixth prince took it and raised his eyebrows: "Unexpectedly, the Shen family is almost in ruins, and they still use Xianchun to entertain guests... Isn't it too forced?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Your Highness is a distinguished guest, so naturally you should treat him with good tea," Shen Chuan's voice sounded, "Is Your Highness still used to drinking it?"

Today, Shen Chuan is wearing a blue robe, which has restrained the sharpness and oppression of the past, and reveals a bit of gentleness.

"Lord Shen," the Sixth Prince raised his eyebrows, "We only met yesterday, so why do I feel like I haven't seen you for many years when we meet today?"

A smile appeared on Shen Chuan's lips.

He walked straight to the front seat and sat down, and then he spoke: "It is said that nobles are busy with things. Now His Highness the Sixth is the most beautiful and blindest person in the court. It is normal for him not to notice me."

The Sixth Prince sneered: "Master Shen, you really can't compare with before."

As he said this, he felt slightly calm.

In the past, Shen Chuan would never have treated him with such a gentle attitude.

This man has eyes on the top of his head, and no one can enter his eyes.

Really annoying.

But now, he looks at Shen Chuan much more favorably.

"It seems that after a person gets married, he changes a lot."

"I know that Mr. Shen is a capable person. Nowadays, Mr. Shen must not be used to living such a dull life, right?"

"How about you help me?"
