When Shu Yi came back, he saw Shen Yanzhi leaning on the side and dozing off, his eyelashes were long and trembling slightly, as if he was not sleeping well, he still remembered the immature appearance when he entered the palace at the beginning of the year, although he was not mature yet, But one can see a bit of exquisiteness from the facial features, and as expected, after a few years, the youth has grown up and become more and more beautiful.

It's just that there is a slight sadness hidden between the brows...

A gust of breeze blew by outside the window, making the branches and leaves hiss, and the sun shone in vaguely. Shen Yanzhi woke up a little, and hummed a few times in dissatisfaction.But before he opened his eyes, a robe was thrown on his face vigorously, he got up in a panic, opened the robe, and saw that Shuyi had changed into civilian clothes and stood in front of him.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and change!"

Urged by Shu Yi, Shen Yanzhi hurriedly got up, went behind the screen in the inner room and changed into civilian clothes, simple and elegant, but couldn't hide a very good face.When Shen Yanzhi saw this, it seemed that Shu Yi wanted to leave the palace, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of a reason, even in Beijing because of the flood, he couldn't find out why, but he really didn't know why he was taken out of the palace for the first time.

Sitting in the carriage, the two left the palace alone, without a single attendant, only a few hidden guards secretly protecting them.Along the way, Shen Yanzhi was quiet, sitting on the sidelines without saying a word, occasionally lifted the car curtain to look at the scene outside, then lowered it, and then sat there blankly.

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yanzhi turned his head, met Shuyi's eyes, and said slowly, "I didn't think about anything, I just remembered that when I first came here a few years ago, I entered the palace inexplicably before seeing the carved beams and paintings, and left the palace at the beginning of the year... ", as if he didn't want to mention that matter again, Shen Yanzhi paused for a while, and then said, "I really don't know what the land I'm stepping on, the capital of Daliang, looks like."

Thinking back to the 17 years since he was born, only the small courtyard at home and the huge palace are lingering in his mind. Shen Yanzhi thought hard, but he couldn't think of any place he was familiar with.

Shu Yi asked him, "Where is your ancestral home?"

"In the south of the Yangtze River, Shanyin Kuaiji"

"Do you have family and friends?"

Shen Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and gave a wry smile, "My mother left when I was two years old, and later my father married Su Xian in order to have someone to take care of me. Within two years, my wife gave birth to a younger brother, but she treated me well, not cold I can't get hungry, and the family enjoys it.

Until I was 13 years old, my father passed away due to illness, and my family was poor. My wife wanted some money to bury my father, so she sold me on a flower boat, and I came here after a lot of twists and turns. The emperor knows what happened afterwards.”

It was easy to see that he was talking about the past without any waves, and he was shocked for a moment. He naturally didn't care about Shen Yanzhi's past, but now hearing him speak slowly, his heart felt a little sour.

Not being cold or hungry is the joy in his heart. Although he is a mother in name, he is called his wife, and the relationship is probably not very close. Thinking about it, he is also clear that his father is dead, and he is the mother and son. The burden, selling the burden to the flower boat and earning some money, is a good business without compensation, even if you encounter this kind of injustice, you will bear it secretly, and then tell others flatly.

It's as if he wasn't talking about himself.

Shu Yi didn't ask any more questions, luck and misfortune in this world are roughly the same, luck has its own luck, and misfortune has its own misfortune.During the reign of the first emperor, the most favored person was the birth mother of the son, Empress Xiaozhen. His mother and concubine were not favored all their lives, and passed away in desperation until they died of illness.

At that time, he was still young, and he didn't understand the love of the emperor and the royal family. He only knew that his mother and concubine had never laughed once until she died. He had a deep resentment towards the first emperor in his heart. Under the edict, he changed his name and took the surname of his mother and concubine.

Until now, I have gradually understood the emperor's heart of the late emperor's deep palace lock beauty, so I don't complain or hate.

The two sat opposite each other until the carriage stopped, and Shu Yi didn't say a word, he only held Shen Yanzhi's hand when he got off the carriage, just like ordinary couples newly married, the husband holds the wife's hand, walking side by side, on the same road Go, never leave for a lifetime, share weal and woe, share weal and woe.

Shen Yanzhi was a little panicked. It was inappropriate for the two men to be so close in public. He followed Shuyi into the inn. During this period, he tried to pull his hand out many times, but Shuyi held him tighter, and it hurt so much that his palms were sore. Sweating, my heart is sweating.

Fortunately, the south wind prevailed, and there were quite a few male concubines in the family, no one thought it strange when they saw the two being intimate, but Shen Yanzhi had a pretty face, which inevitably attracted everyone's attention.Shuyi pulled him to sit down, ordered Xiao Er to serve some simple food and drink, then let go of Shen Yanzhi's hand, and Shen Yanzhi hurriedly took it back, but he didn't know whether it was because of anger or shyness, even the roots of his ears were red, feeling unsympathetic Wishing to pour wine for Shuyi.

Shuyi thought Shen Yanzhi was so funny, so he couldn't help but amused him more, "I finally took you out for a stroll, so you just show me face?"

Shen Yanzhi glanced at Shuyi with a little grievance, and didn't dare to vent his anger, so he could only say timidly, "Don't dare", and stopped talking.

Shuyi laughed twice, and when the food and wine were served, he hurriedly urged Shen Yanzhi, "I didn't eat anything this morning, eat something quickly, and then I'll take you to the market, and I'll stay here tonight."

"What?" Shen Yan was startled, then realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the food. Shu Yi could see his thoughts and said with a smile, "Take advantage of these two days to rest, and I'm tired."

After eating, Shu Yiqiang dragged Shen Yanzhi to the street, where people were bustling with people, street vendors were hawking goods, and Shen Yanzhi's eyes were straightened when he looked at it.Occasionally looking at some rare items, the two of them also stopped to choose them, but when Shu Yi wanted to pay for them, Shen Yanzhi stopped him, said a few words of dislike, and then walked away.

It is easy to see that he is obviously very curious, and his eyes are fixed on the left and right pavements. Although he doesn't say anything, he is happy at a glance. He even speeds up his pace a lot. He is puzzled and asks him with a smile, "Why don't you just look at it and don't buy it, and you don't lack that little money?"

Hearing this, Shen Yanzhi stopped in his tracks, with a soft voice, like a generous child who felt that he should no longer ask for food and fun when he grows up, "They are all novelties that ordinary people are used to. That's all, it's boring to buy it back and pile it up in a mess."

In fact, I like it very much, and I have the urge to buy it, but the novelty disappears the moment I see Shuyi. It seems that there is a difference in dignity in my bones. It seems that I bought it by myself, and I am really like a small person. Interested in these things of a few pennies and a few dollars, there is no style of everyone.

This thought is also well hidden, be careful not to be discovered by others, as if this way he is not so far away from Shu Yi Ning Qing Ru Na and others.

Later, the two people's footsteps gradually slowed down, and Shen Yanzhi also heard some passers-by and peddlers mentioning the flood in Qingzhou intentionally or unintentionally. Why is the tailor shop on West Street closed?

The butcher was tall and fat, and his voice was louder than ordinary people. As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Yanzhi frowned in disgust, "His hometown is in Qingzhou, and there is a flood in Qingzhou. His old parents, younger brothers and sisters are all there, so don't rush back to have a look. It’s just that I heard that there is a lot of chaos there, so I’m not sure if I can come back!”

The old woman quickly waved her hand, "Why is it messed up? I heard from my son that our sage allocated a lot of money for relief. The sage's benevolence is the blessing of our people!"

The peddler selling melons and fruits next to them heard them talking about Qingzhou, and hurried to join in the fun, and said to the old woman, "You are wrong, what's the use of the emperor's benevolence, if you want me to say something bad, those How much money can go to the hands of us little people—"

"Hush! Can you say that!" The butcher hurriedly blocked the peddler's mouth. The peddler knew he had said something wrong, so he laughed a few times. Seeing that no one around heard him, he quickly changed the subject, "Say it, I There is a distant nephew whose family is also from Qingzhou. He is doing business there alone, and his father and wife are here. Before summer, his wife gave birth to a fat boy, so he hurried back from Qingzhou. Things, everyone said that his son is a lucky star!"

After all, the matter had nothing to do with them, the three of them immediately became interested in the little lucky star, and talked a lot about ghosts and superstitions. Immediately being a little cautious, he hurriedly followed without daring to persuade him. When Shuyi returned to the inn, he hurriedly closed the door, turned around and knelt down.

"My lord, don't be angry, what good things they can say, it's just hearsay, what to say."

With a cold face, Shu Yi didn't even look at Shen Yanzhi, and slammed the table hard, which really startled Shen Yan.In an instant, a few hidden guards burst in from the window miraculously, kneeling in a row, well-trained.

"What did you find?"

Several people immediately responded one by one, completely ignoring the existence of Shen Yanzhi. Shen Yanzhi was sweating coldly as he listened. Shu Yi talked about government affairs in front of him. He should have avoided it, but he didn't dare to disturb him easily. Kneeling there motionless, the more I listened, the more frightened I became.

Cui Huairang, the magistrate of Qingzhou, had a prominent family background. His grandfather once served as a councilor of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and later died of illness. It is very easy to think of the loyalty and goodness of the Cui family for generations, so Cui Huairang was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou.

However, according to reports from the secret guards, Cui Huairang worked as a minion in Qingzhou, extorting and accepting bribes, and opening banks and banks to make huge profits.Shen Yanzhi heard it strangely, thinking that Cui Huairang is just a small magistrate, and the sum of these several charges does not want his head alone, how could he be so lawless.

unless……

Just as he was thinking, Shuyi suddenly turned around and asked him, "What did you come up with?"

Shen Yanzhi suddenly straightened his back, broke into a cold sweat again, and quickly shook his head, "I dare not eavesdrop"

Shu Yi chuckled, and arranged some things for those hidden guards, and then sent them out, probably to collect evidence, so that people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate could come forward to impeach Cui Huairang for corruption.

Shen Yanzhi was puzzled, Cui Huairang was doing evil in Qingzhou, obviously someone was behind him, if he wanted to be caught, he should be caught by the root, how could he let go of the mastermind so easily?If the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeaches Cui Huairang, the people behind him will be alarmed, won't it be more difficult to find out?

The dark guard appeared like a ghost, and then disappeared like a ghost, leaving only the breeze through the window and a taste of eating and sleeping in the open for many years.Shuyi went to the window, closed it tightly, sat down again, looked at Shen Yanzhi who was kneeling on the ground, it seemed that he seldom stood in front of him, but always knelt, bowed his head, bowed his back, shrinking Looks scared.

With a smile on his face, Shu Yi said, "Just say what you want, so you don't feel uncomfortable in your heart."
