Shen Zhi didn't know how Jiang Heng told the emperor, and what identity he was with the army, but the emperor obviously didn't want to say more, so he waved his hand and let Shen Zhi go down first.

When walking out of the palace gate, an idea suddenly popped up in Shen Zhi's mind.

...The emperor must know about his relationship with Jiang Heng, right?

If he knew, by agreeing to Jiang Heng's request, would he be... pushing the boat along?

Shen Zhi thought, if this is the case, then what exactly is His Majesty thinking?Could it be that... his life is not long, so he started to feel guilty towards Jiang Heng and decided to make amends?

After thinking for a while and still not being able to figure it out, Shen Zhi simply stopped thinking about it.When Xia Ya returned to the mansion, he was thinking about how to tell his father the news, but unexpectedly, Shen Shangshu, who was always very busy, came back a long time later than him, was already sitting in the lobby.

Shen Weifeng also saw Shen Zhi, took a sip of tea with a flat face, and asked nonchalantly, "Agreed?"

Shen Zhi smiled mischievously: "Father..."

Forget the simplest question, his father is Minister of the Ministry of War.

"What are you doing with this expression?" Shen Weifeng raised his eyelids and said, "I said I wouldn't stop you, so naturally I wouldn't go back on what I said."

Shen Zhi stepped forward, thought for a while, knelt down and kowtowed, lowered his eyes and remained silent.Shen Weifeng still sat steadily, stared deeply at Shen Zhi for a while, got up and said, "If you want to kneel, come and kneel to your ancestors."

Shen Zhi blinked, followed his father to stand up, and walked to the ancestral hall behind.

The Shen residence was very empty, except for a few servants, only their father and son were there.The mansion was bestowed by the Holy Majesty, with undulating rockery and continuous eaves, it is magnificent.

Shen Zhi covered his sleeves, turned his head and looked into the distance for a while.

After Madam Shen's death, the Shen residence has been like this.

It seems that I haven't felt what is lively for a long time... except Jiang Heng took him to the street to put Kongming lanterns on Qixi Festival.

It's also strange, clearly before when his mother was still there, there were not too many people in Shen's residence, but there was always something that filled Shen's residence, never making people feel empty, but even every corner seemed full of fun. .

Shen Zhi thought for a while, then tilted his head and said, "Father."

Shen Weifeng hummed and didn't look back.

Shen Zhi said with a smile: "Mother is watching us from the sky."

Shen Weifeng paused and didn't reply, but his tense back obviously relaxed a lot.

The ancestral hall was very quiet, only the candles were faintly burning, illuminating the rows of spirit tablets of the Shen family.Shen Zhi thought of the incident when his father brought him in and beat him up, he wanted to laugh for no reason, he bent his lips, feeling that it was too immodest to be so in front of his ancestors, he quickly stopped laughing, and silently confessed his guilt in his heart.

Shen Shangshu knelt on the futon with him, kowtowed, but remained silent.Shen Zhi thought back when he was in the ancestral hall and begged his ancestors to bless Jiang Heng, and Jiang Heng survived a catastrophe... Maybe it was really a blessing?

He kowtowed again, muttering silently, the younger generation is unfilial, troubled the ancestors, and then bless and bless Jiang Heng, bless and bless the Shen family.

It may be that the ancestors felt bothered. A gust of wind blew in and blew out a candle.Shen Zhi leaned over to light a candle, and heard his father's voice behind him: "Jing He, Jiang Heng is really wishful."

This is the first time Shen Shangshu mentioned Jiang Heng on his own initiative.

Shen Zhi carefully lit the candle, turned around, looked directly into Shen Shangshu's sharp eyes, and said, "Ruyi. Apart from him, there is no other Ruyi."

Shen Shangshu nodded coldly.

Shen Zhi lowered his head: "Father, I'm sorry."

"The road I chose, tell me what I'm sorry for." Shen Weifeng said with a blank expression, "Okay, I'm tired from marching, so go down and rest first."

The departure time is set in three days.

But a few days before leaving Beijing, he can have a vacation with special preferential treatment. Shen Zhi went to the household department to finish his official duties, finished his confession, and prepared to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Go openly, anyway, he is going to go out with Jiang Heng now, even if it is to discuss and discuss issues, there is nothing wrong with it.

As a result, as soon as he left the household department, he found someone following him. When he looked back, he felt a headache.

Wei Shizhi, why is it him again.

Considering that Wei Shizhi often spoke regardless of the occasion, Shen Zhi took the initiative to sneak into a secluded alley, waited for a while, and Wei Shizhi followed.

Shen Zhi didn't bother to pretend to be polite any more, he leaned against the wall and looked at him: "Wei Qian, is there anything wrong?"

Wei Shizhi's eyes were gloomy: "Shen Jinghe, are you going to fight with Jiang Heng?"

"Don't worry about it." Shen Zhi tugged at the corners of his lips, withdrew his smile before he smiled, and said lightly, "Wei Shizhi, I can only like Jiang Heng in this life. It’s not worth your obsession, so why should you be so persistent.”

Wei Shizhi clenched his fists, his eyes became darker: "You dare to go to the battlefield just to be with Jiang Heng?"

"I'm not a weak person, I have the ability to protect myself." Shen Zhi paused, then tilted his head and smiled, "But you're right, in order to be with him, I will go anywhere."

Wei Shizhi approached Shen Zhi silently, looked down at him for a moment, and suddenly said: "Shen Jinghe, you are really annoying."

Shen stopped talking and remained silent.

Wei Shizhi made a sudden move and pinched his chin. Before he could lower his head to touch something, his stomach hurt.While he was bending down, Shen Zhi gently pushed his hand away, walked to the side, and said lightly: "Forgot the lesson from last time? You really don't change your mind."

Shen Zhi didn't show mercy, Wei Shizhi was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, his breathing stagnated for a while, and then he barely straightened up while covering the place where he was beaten, but he laughed: "Shen Jinghe, you are really..."

What it was, he didn't say.Shen Zhi stood right in front of him, demure and elegant, with a kind face, as if he could touch it with his hand.

But now he felt that he might not be able to cross the distance of these few feet in his entire life.

Shen Zhi looked at him leisurely: "If there is nothing wrong with Wei Qian, I will take a step first."

He didn't wait for Wei Shizhi to speak, he walked towards the entrance of the alley, took two steps, and heard Wei Shizhi speak again: "...Don't worry, I won't shake half a word about your affairs to anyone .”

Shen Zhi stopped, Wei Shizhi was still talking: "I don't want the person I like to suffer."

Shen Zhi thought for a long time, but didn't know how to answer, so he tilted his head and said "Thank you".Wei Shizhi stood in the shadow and said in a low voice, "Shen Jinghe, do you hate me?"

Hate it...of course I hated it.

Shen Zhi thought to himself, and smiled slightly: "I don't hate it anymore."

***

It was July, and the sun was scorching hot.

It is always quiet during the march, except for footsteps and the slight click of weapons rubbing against each other, there is no other sound in the queue.

Shen Zhi dangled back and forth in the carriage, feeling sleepy.

It wasn't because he was coquettish, nor was Jiang Heng deliberately giving preferential treatment, but because everyone was worried that he would fall apart on a horse because of his gentle manners, so someone took the initiative to find a carriage for him to get on.

The reason everyone is so kind is because his father is the Minister of the Ministry of War. Before becoming a civil servant, Shen Weifeng also led soldiers in battle and was quite prestigious.

Jiang Heng pushed the boat with the current and said a few words, but Shen Zhi couldn't refuse everyone's kindness, so he had to go up - in fact, sitting in the temporary carriage was worse than riding a horse, it was stuffy and wobbly.

Shen Zhi was thinking about how to toss the carriage to pieces so that he could go out for a ride, shook his head to get a little sleepy, secretly opened a crack in the curtain, squinted his eyes, and saw Jiang Heng's straight back under the sunlight.

He was wearing soft armor, outlining his slender waist, just looking at his back felt like a kind of enjoyment.Shen Zhi rested his chin, looked at it with a smile for a while, Jiang Heng suddenly turned his head to look over, he didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately put down the curtain, inexplicably guilty.

Jiang Heng probably... didn't notice him.

While Shen Zhi was muttering in his heart, Jiang Heng looked away wordlessly, whispered a few words to the lieutenant, drove the horse to the side of the carriage, turned over and easily jumped into the carriage, opened the curtain and walked in directly.

His Highness King Zhao's unspeakable little thoughts were immediately blocked by the hanging curtain.

Liu Yu, who was driving, hesitated for a moment, making sure that there was no strange sound, and drove a little slower.After an unknown period of time, His Royal Highness King Zhao, who was upright and expressionless, got out of the carriage, thought of something, looked slightly comforted, turned around and said a few words, and then got on his horse and went to the front of the queue again.

Liu Yu's hearing is good, and she clearly heard Jiang Heng's sentence "If you want to watch it, watch it openly", and the other sentence is "Be tired, go to sleep first".

Shen Zhi inside pretended to be dead and did not respond.

As a result, Shen Zhi only came out at night. It was already dark at this time, and the soldiers were about to rest. Liu Yu turned to look at Shen Zhi. It's swollen.

...and a red mark on the side of his neck that he himself hadn't noticed.

Liu Yu froze, thinking whether or not to remind Shen Zhi, and how to remind him, but Jiang Heng came over.

The carriage purposely stopped at a relatively quiet place, Jiang Heng handed the dry food to Shen Zhi, and by the way, twisted a lock of his long hair, put it to his lips and kissed it lightly.

It was obviously just a strand of hair that didn't feel anything, but Shen Zhi felt itchy and numb in his heart. The itching made him almost distracted, so he coughed dryly, pretended to be serious, and sat down with Jiang Heng, chewing dry food and asking: "How long will it be?"

Seeing that he was chewing hard, Jiang Heng handed him water and said, "It's about half a month old. Are you tired?"

Shen Zhi took a sip and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it's the first time I'm so far away from Beijing, so it's still a bit novel."

"Sorry." Jiang Heng whispered, "I don't want to be separated from you anymore, so I dragged you in without authorization."

"What are you talking about? I don't want to be separated from you either." Shen Zhi patted the back of his hand reassuringly, and immediately understood what it means to hit a snake with a stick.

Jiang Heng held his hand instead, raised one corner of his mouth, and smiled slightly: "Jinghe, tomorrow is your birthday."

Shen Zhi almost forgot about this, he was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "I'm going to be one year older than you."

Jiang Heng said: "You are only one year older than me."

Shen Zhi glanced at him: "Usually act like a spoiled child to me, making it look like she's ten years younger than me."

"... Acting like a baby?" Jiang Heng frowned, obviously not believing that he would do such a thing.

Shen Zhi finished chewing the dry food, blinked his eyes, put on a straight face, pretended to be expressionless, leaned into Jiang Heng's ear, put away his usual laughing tone, and said softly: "Xunyu, don't leave. I want you."

Jiang Heng: "..."
