After leaving Mount Tai, Shen Yanzhuo left the guard of honor and the accompanying palace officials in Mount Tai, while the courtiers who came with him were sent back, and naturally they were all given a silence order.

When he and Su Ning'an took a boat to Mingzhou, they only took Gu Yu'an, An Li, and three royal guards with them. In addition to Cuizhu and Ying'er, they left four maids and two palace servants.

Therefore, the outside world only knew that the emperor was filial and accompanied the queen mother to worship Buddha in Mount Tai for a period of time, but did not know the truth.

Although the ship to Mingzhou is not as grand as a royal ship, it is very luxurious and comfortable for ordinary commercial ships.

Although it was a private visit incognito, as the emperor, Shen Yanzui naturally had no need to wrong himself.

It is not common to see a ship with two floors for private use, so it attracted many people to watch when it stopped at the ferry.

"Sir, girl." Gu Yu'an led others to clear the crowd, and then Shen Yanzui took Suning'an onto the boat.

Su Ning'an was very excited, not because this was her first time traveling so far. Of course, the time when the Su family moved back to Chang'an City didn't count.

It was because she was finally going to Mingzhou, her mother's hometown. She thought it would take more time to go to Mingzhou, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"An An is so excited?" Shen Yanzhuo couldn't suppress the burning pressure in his eyes as he watched Suningan standing on the deck with interest and looking into the distance.

"Well, I don't know. What I have always wanted to do is to take my mother and brother back, and also want to see Mingzhou with my own eyes." Su Ningan's face was full of excitement. Although she felt that she should keep quiet and shut up, she always couldn't care less. He stopped himself and continued: "I don't know what kind of mountains and rivers can raise a person like my mother."

Ana Shen Yanzuo's slightly cold eyes were filled with a hint of pampering, "Does An An still have family in Mingzhou? Have you thought about where you want to bury your mother?"

"This..." Su Ning'an was stunned and shook her head, "My mother is an only child. I heard from my mother that my grandmother died very early. Her grandfather died not long after she married into the Su family. At that time, my grandfather was also holding on. He took his last breath, arranged his mother's marriage, and passed away in less than half a year."

Ana Shen's heart suddenly sank as she listened. She couldn't blame the Su family for daring to bully people like this. It turned out that there was no one left in her natal family.

"But I once heard my mother say that she had a cousin, but she got married a long time ago. Since she married to Chang'an, she has been no longer heard from." Suning'an, who was originally very excited, gradually calmed down after saying this, "Mother I did mention that the Du family has its own cemetery, and maybe I can find out more about it."

"That's easy." Shen Yanzhuan held her shoulders and thought, as long as he can have his own cemetery, even if he is not from a noble family, he must have a certain status, or his family is wealthy.

Presumably it was the latter, otherwise how could her mother's dowry alone support the Su family for many years.

"Master?"

Ana Shen looked down at Su Ning'an as he was told, and unexpectedly saw the uneasiness in her eyes, "An'an knows that I am a noble man, very rich, and there will be a better woman in the future, but... ···After entering the palace, if I get tired and annoyed, will I not want An An?"

Ana Shen's eyes condensed, he held her shoulders and hugged Su Ning'an into his arms, curled his fingers to lift her chin, "What? Are you scared?"

Su Ning'an nodded, making Shen Yanzui's lips want to bend but couldn't.

What she said was not impossible. He had a ruthless temperament, and he never valued women. He could pamper her, but he would get tired of her at any time.

What's more, the love of an emperor is hard to retain.

Oh, he never cared about the happiness and anger of the concubines.

But for her...

Ana Shen's lips moved, and there was a faint struggle in her eyes, and she hugged her harder without realizing it.

Looking down, her eyes were too confused, and there was even a dependence that made him feel weak.

Shen Yanzui exhaled helplessly, took two steps forward, trapped her between the side of the ship and his body, and pressed his thin lips against hers, "As long as An An stays by my side, I will never abandon you."

"Yes." Su Ning'an nodded, with eyes like ripples on the surface of a lake. He held the back of her head, and the lips that were just touching each other gradually gradually became... Deep kiss.

Their breaths blended together, and his waist was held firmly by him, and his embrace tightened, as if she wanted to embed herself into him.

The heavy breath hit him like waves again and again, and his eyes became cloudy and gradually calmed down.

Ana Shen gently stroked Su Ning'an's back and watched her snuggle into his arms very obediently, her soft lips shining brightly from his kiss.

Feeling very satisfied, he said in a cold voice: "What's the matter?"

Cuizhu had already retreated some distance away from his masters. He didn't dare to disturb them, so he could only wait with his head pressed against his head.

Hearing this, he took two steps forward and said, "The ashes of the madam and the young master have been placed and placed well in the niche cage. Miss, you can rest assured."

When Suningan heard this, his face turned redder.

He couldn't help but grasp the lapel of Shen Yanzui's clothes tightly, and said with an intoxicating tenderness: "I know...I know."

However, Ana Shen pressed her lips with his thumb and rubbed them gently, feeling very unsatisfied.

After only five days of sailing, they had already arrived in Mingzhou.

This was a private visit incognito, so Shen Yanzuo did not go to the inn, but booked a few rooms in the largest inn in Mingzhou.

Although they had traveled for five days, Ana Shen was not tired, and Su Ning'an was also in high spirits, so he went shopping with her in Mingzhou.

Jiangnan is different from Chang'an City. People here speak softly.

Even the men looked weaker than the men in the north, but they were shrewd, especially the vendors, who were extremely talkative.

Suning'an just took a brief look at it and immediately introduced it eloquently. Su Ning'an was stunned for a while, and he was embarrassed not to buy it.

Therefore, Anli and Cuizhu soon had a lot of things in their hands.

Su Ning'an glanced at the men on the street, then looked at Shen Yanzui, and suddenly smiled and said: "It is said that women from Jiangnan are soft and beautiful, and it is easy to produce handsome men. But when I look at my appearance, even if I am placed in Jiangnan, It’s also a top-notch one.”

Shen Yanzhu raised his eyebrows lightly, and from the corner of his eye, he happened to see a few shy and timid glances passing by him, and then looked at Su Ning'an's teasing eyes, and laughed loudly.

Regardless of the people coming and going on the street, he held her waist and let her stick to him, "I'm not tired of An An yet. An An doesn't have to worry about me taking a few back."

Su Ning'an covered her lips and smiled. He had seen through her thoughts so easily. She pursed her lips in embarrassment and said, "How can I? I just said it casually."

The two of them talked as they returned to the inn. It happened that the subordinates sent by Gu Yu'an to inquire about the news also came back. Dao had found the Du family cemetery, which was located in the south of the city.

Su Ning'an was overjoyed when she heard that, and Shen Yanzuo ordered the preparations for the burial. An Li also asked his husband to choose a date, and Du Yingrong was buried well in a few days.

On that day, Suningan, Cuizhu and Ying'er were all dressed in plain clothes. Suningan did not wear any makeup, her long hair was pulled up, and she only wore a white hairpin on her head.

Her mother was buried next to her grandfather and grandmother. Suningan's eyes were already red from crying as she watched the ashes slowly rising in circles from the burning paper.

"Mother, my daughter finally took you out of the Su family. Can you rest in peace?"

Ana Shen stood beside him with his hands folded, looking at Su Ning'an whose eyes were almost swollen from crying. She did not come forward to comfort him, but just looked at him lightly.

I am afraid that such a sacrifice will never happen again after entering the palace, so why not let her cry heartily and fulfill her filial piety.

"But Suning'an?"

Suddenly, a male voice approached in surprise. Su Ningan turned around in surprise and saw a strange man blocked a few steps away. Gu Yuan also had cold murderous intent in his eyes.
