After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Who?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"This servant doesn't know. He only said that he was an old friend of the young lady. He asked the servant whether the young lady had been living in the palace. After learning that the young lady had just returned to the palace, he said that he wanted to see the young lady." The servant said quickly.

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and said, "By the way, that man looks like an old man. His clothes are ordinary, but he looks extraordinary."

"Old man..." Chu Huanyan was stunned for a moment, confused, and soon Xiao Jinzhi arrived outside the house.

When she saw the people beside the carriage, Chu Huanyan suddenly stopped.

"Old, teacher?"

Hearing the call, the other party raised his head and looked at Chu Huanyan.

He was dressed in ordinary cloth, with white beard and hair. Apart from his air of dignity, he looked like an ordinary old man. But if you take a closer look, you will find that the other person is not too old, but his completely white beard and hair confuse his age.

Walking on the street like this, if you don't know someone, no one will know that he is the world-famous Mr. Shen Xi.

Looking at Chu Huanyan, Mr. Shen Xi looked at her carefully, with smiles and feelings in his eyes.

"You girl, you have really grown up."

Hearing this sentence, the tip of Chu Huanyan's nose felt sore and she almost shed tears.

Without waiting for her to speak again, Mr. Shen Xi bowed his hands to her and Xiao Jinzhi.

"The common people have seen the emperor and the queen."

"Teacher, please don't do this, I can't afford it." Chu Huanyan quickly stepped forward to help Mr. Shen Xi up.

"After all, in this imperial city, etiquette cannot be discarded." Mr. Shen Xi waved his hand, and then looked at Xiao Jinzhi.

Although he had heard many rumors before he came to the imperial city, he naturally knew that the rumors were not always true, so at this moment, he was still quite curious about Xiao Jinzhi.

But after all, it was at the door of the mansion and it was not convenient to talk, so Chu Huanyan invited Mr. Shen Xi into the mansion first.

"I've met the teacher." In the lobby, Chu Huanyan respectfully bowed to Mr. Shen Xi as a disciple.

Mr. Shen Xi originally wanted to reach out to stop him, but when he saw Chu Huanyan's expression, he did not stop him in the end, but accepted the gift calmly.

"I've met Mr. Shen Xi." Xiao Jinzhi also bowed his hands and saluted as a junior.

Mr. Shen Xi was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "The emperor's move is really embarrassing for me."

"Sir is Huanyan's teacher, so naturally he is also my teacher. This is what you should receive." Xiao Jinzhi said with a hint of respect in his tone.

Although he was not like those literati students who took the road of imperial examination and literary education, Mr. Shen Xi's famous name was naturally well known to him.

When Xiao Rongxuan and Mu Feng used Mr. Chen Xi's information to deliberately set up a trap, trying to lure Huanyan into a trap, he had sent people to investigate and confirmed that the information returned was false, but after that, there was no After hearing the traces, I didn't expect Mr. Shen Xi to appear in the imperial city today.

Mr. Shen Xi glanced at Chu Huanyan, with some hesitation. The latter smiled and said, "Teacher, it's okay. Don't take it to heart. Since the emperor wants to salute, then you can accept it."

Hearing this, Mr. Shen Xi looked at Chu Huanyan and said something nonsense, but he did not dwell on the matter anymore.

"Teacher, why did you come to the imperial city suddenly? And Master's wife, is Master's wife okay?" Chu Huanyan asked hurriedly.

"Your wife..." Mr. Shen Xi's face stiffened for a moment, and then he smiled a little, "She has passed away."

Chu Huanyan's heart trembled. When Mu Feng used false news to deceive her, he had also sent news about the death of the master's wife, but she didn't expect that the master's wife would be real now...

"Teacher, Master, why did she... pass away?"

"Due to illness." Mr. Shen Xi's eyes dimmed for a moment, then returned to normal, and he said with a smile, "It has been a few months, so you don't have to be sad. Your wife specially told her before she died that the last thing you want to see us is She was in tears."

Chu Huanyan pursed her lips. Although Mr. Shen Xi's tone was relaxed, she could still hear loneliness from that relaxation, or in other words, a kind of deathly silence that looked down upon everything.

"Teacher..." Chu Huanyan's heart tightened and she looked at Mr. Shen Xi with some worry.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the relationship between the teacher and his wife. Now that his wife has passed away, the teacher...

Chu Huanyan couldn't help but cast her eyes on Mr. Shen Xi's completely white hair, but in the end she didn't ask anything.

"You don't have to worry, the teacher is naturally sensible. When I came to the Imperial City this time, I heard a lot of news about you, so I wanted to come and see you. In addition, your wife was still alive before she died. I was thinking about you and asked me to come and see you no matter what. In addition..."

Mr. Shen Xi stopped and did not say the next words immediately, but Chu Huanyan understood what he meant.

"Teacher, I'm sorry about senior brother, but he made a big mistake, and I really can't protect him." After saying that, Chu Huanyan took a slow breath and continued, "But, I really can't. I thought about helping him survive. Teacher, I’m sorry.”

The friendship between her and Mu Feng had actually ended a long time ago. She had nothing to feel guilty about Mu Feng, but looking at the teacher at this moment... Chu Huanyan felt a little sour and guilty.

"You don't have to be like this. Since he made a mistake, this should be the fate he deserves. But after all, I want to know where his body is now. At least... pay homage in front of the grave. ." Mr. Shen Xi sighed and spoke.

He and Ah Fu had traveled all over the world over the years, but they didn't know much about the news in the imperial city. Later, because Ah Fu's health became worse and worse, they settled down and received the news bit by bit.

On the way into the imperial city, he almost knew what Mu Feng had done, and he was the one to blame for his death.

But after all... there is still a master-disciple relationship between them.

"After Senior Brother committed suicide, I had his body buried properly. Now the tomb is on the mountain on the outskirts of the city. If Master wants to go there, I will accompany you."

Mr. Shen Xi did not respond immediately, but glanced at Xiao Jinzhi, and then said: "You are the queen now after all..."

"Sir, you don't have to think about this. Although Yan Yan is a queen, she can move freely and is not subject to these restrictions. It's just...she's not in good health recently. If you don't mind, sir, I want to go with you."

"What's wrong with your body?" Mr. Shen Xi frowned and looked at Chu Huanyan nervously.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter." Chu Huanyan smiled and shook her head, "Teacher, when do you want to come over?"

Mr. Shen Xi sighed again, "Let's do it tomorrow. As for the Emperor, if you want to go with us, the common people will naturally not dare to stop you."

"I……"

"There will be no dissatisfaction, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Mr. Shen Xi added clearly.

"Thank you sir."
