On the way out of the imperial garden, Jiang Wen'an was thinking about things all the time, but he didn't see the little eunuch who brought him here just now, and unknowingly walked to a remote place behind the imperial garden.

Before it was late autumn, the leaves had already fallen all over the ground, green mixed with withered yellow ones, obviously accumulated over time and turned into mud.

This place is desolate and desolate, Jiang Wen'an recognized this place as Lenggong at a glance, he is no stranger to Lenggong, after all he often came here to see Yanyan for a period of time.

It was a long time ago, Jiang Wen'an was in a daze, and when he recovered, he was already approaching.

He suddenly had an idea and wanted to go in and have a look.

Before entering the door, I heard the old eunuch's swearing and swearing voices, all of which were extremely filthy words.

Who is living in this cold palace now?

Jiang Wen'an couldn't help thinking of Shen Yan.

Going a step further, he heard the voice of a woman crying: "Little prince, come down quickly, I beg you, this old slave, come down quickly, ah——"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of whipping, the woman screamed again and again, and the clear and sharp voice of a child came out again.

Jiang Wen'an was deeply puzzled, and hurried in, only to see an old father-in-law with a bian whipping the nanny's skin to pieces, jumping to hide, but the more she dodged, the harder she beat.

"Ouch." Nanny squatted and ran, throwing herself down in front of Jiang Wen'an.

The father-in-law saw Jiang Wen'an just now, and his ferocious expression changed into a flattering smile, and the fat that he shook when he swung the biscuit just now was still shaking.

"Oh, Mr. Jiang, why did you come here? You are really a slave. Mr. Jiang wants to come here to have a look, so he should send someone to tell you. I have neglected Mr. Jiang, and please forgive me."

The nanny rolled around on the ground, and when she saw Jiang Wen'an, she had already got up, and she knelt on the side trembling, not daring to raise her head.

Jiang Wen'an came closer, "Quickly please get up."

"Mr. Xie Jiang."

Jiang Wen'an was a little strange, he didn't have much impression of these two people, he probably hadn't seen them when he was in the palace several years ago, but he didn't know why they all recognized him.

The father-in-law said with a greasy smile: "Who in this palace can't recognize Mr. Jiang now? You are the person next to the emperor's pillow, who dare not recognize him?"

"Woooooooooooo..."

Looking up following the sound, Jiang Wen'an saw a child on a tall tree.

He was filthy all over, crying with snot and tears, and was hugging the tree trunk tightly, but refused to come down.

"This is……"

The father-in-law immediately replied: "This is Shen Lan. The emperor's grace spared his life. It's just that the child was a little disobedient. The first one went into the slave's room and stole things. It's not the master who took the slave's things." It's nothing serious, but if this word reaches the emperor's ears, even ten heads would not be enough for him to lose, and this slave is only for the good of the Lord, so he is so strict."

Shen Lan?

Jiang Wen'an had heard of this name before.

Shen Yan killed Shen Shiqian before, but he did not kill the roots. Apart from Shen Yanzhao, there was still the second prince who had been kind to him, and the young nineteenth prince, Shen Lan.

The concubine behind him was originally a court lady, and she was lucky by the emperor to give birth to a prince, so she got a concubine, but she was not favored all the time. Later, she died of illness, and Shen Lan lived in the cold palace all the time. A nun raised her.

Mammy cried again: "Master, please come down quickly, please."

"Woooooo, I won't go down, I won't go down! Don't hit me, woooooo!"

Jiang Wen'an looked up at the child crying out of breath, and knew that he had been bullied a lot, so he could only comfort him in a gentle voice: "I won't hit you. With me here, no one Dare to hit you."

"You lied!" The child still hugged the tree trunk and refused to jump off.

The tree wasn't too tall, but the trunk was smooth and there was no point of strength. He was such a small child, Jiang Wen'an couldn't imagine how he climbed up. Even if he was asked to climb up now, it might be difficult to hold him down.

Just be in a hurry.

"Mr. Jiang, this servant will let someone climb up and arrest him."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wen'an could see Shen Lan's small body trembling with his naked eyes, and he immediately stopped him, "Don't go."

He didn't dare to act rashly, what if the child was frightened and fell off?

There was a platform about one meter high under the big tree, and Jiang Wenan stepped on it.

Just as he was anxiously thinking of a solution, suddenly five or six little eunuchs rushed over, making a lot of noise, shouting for the child to jump down.

"Come down! Come down!"

"Be careful!" Jiang Wen'an wanted to stop him, but his voice was completely drowned out by the noise around him.

The expression on the child's face was panicked to the naked eye, his calf was trembling, and his foot suddenly slipped.

Jiang Wen'an opened his eyes wide, and stretched out his hand like a conditioned reflex, ready to receive someone.

He was standing on the edge of the high platform, and when the child fell, Jiang Wenan threw himself to hug him.

Already imagining how painful it would be to fall, he closed his eyes.

There was a gust of wind blowing behind him, bringing up a black corner of his clothes.

Jiang Wen'an closed his eyes, but the pain he imagined did not come, and his back hit a human wall, and he was supported together with the child.

With a bang, the white jade hairpin, which was loosely tied in a bun, fell to the ground and broke.

Jiang Wen'an turned his head, and saw a few strands of black hair brushing the face of the person behind him.

He was looking down at the broken hairpin on the ground in a daze.

From Jiang Wen'an's perspective, he could only see his profile, which made him think he saw Yanyan.

Shen Lan was frightened and dazed, she only realized when her feet landed on the ground, she wanted to run out as soon as she pushed Jiang Wen'an away.

Jiang Wen'an immediately withdrew from the man's arms, reached out and grabbed the child, "Hey, don't run away, don't be afraid."

The child looked up at Jiang Wen'an, and as expected, he didn't run away, but hugged his waist and cried out loudly.

The child was crying pitifully, and when Jiang Wen'an saw that he looked like Yanyan from before, he couldn't help feeling a little more sympathetic, and stretched out his hands along the child's back to comfort him.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Seeing this situation, Mammy was full of worry, but she didn't dare to come forward to pull him.

The father-in-law looked very bad, and he didn't even dare to fart.

"Crying won't solve any problems." The man in black said abruptly.

It was only then that Jiang Wen'an remembered that he and the child were safe and sound at the moment, all thanks to the person in front of him. He raised his eyes and looked from the front, only to realize that he was not the same as Yan Yan at all, but similar in stature.

The man's ruthless voice pierced into his ears, and he said to the child: "It's better to live up to yourself, remember these people who bullied you, come back in the future and beat them in the face one by one."

The fat father-in-law shook his body and stared at the man viciously.

The man just squinted and snorted coldly, then glanced at Jiang Wen'an's broken hair on his face, turned and left.

"Woo--" The child whimpered twice, and seemed to think that what he said made sense, but in the end it just twitched, and actually stopped crying.

Jiang Wen'an looked at his back thoughtfully.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang." The little eunuch who was guarding outside ran in panting, but now he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, his face was still pale, "Mr. Jiang, why did you come here? Let the slaves be easy to find!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you when I came out, and I came here by accident."

The little eunuch couldn't bear his apology, and immediately lowered his body, "Slave... the slave just went to make it easier, but I didn't expect the master to come out just in time, maybe it just happened to be wrong, the slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die."

"It's all right." Jiang Wen'an's gaze following the man in black hadn't retracted yet, he already had a guess in his mind, and casually asked the eunuch beside him, "Do you know who that man was just now?"

"Sir, do you mean the man who just walked out from here? He is the guard of Mr. Lan from the Lan clan."

Jiang Wen'an blurted out: "Xing Huai?"

He watched the tall and straight figure disappear.

Looking at it from behind, it really looks like the real one, and before Yanyan brought him to meet, he had already seen it by accident.

This matter was just a small episode, Jiang Wen'an didn't take it to heart, he was thinking about Shen Lan, and told Shen Yan about his situation when he got back, only then did he know that Shen Yan thought that he was young and had done something to Shen Shi since childhood He has no feelings, and is not afraid of what he will do in the future, so he did not kill them all.

Shen Lan had lived in the Leng Palace before, and Shen Yan had no time to take care of it just after he ascended the throne, so he let him stay there. He was not very clear about what happened in the Leng Palace.

Moreover, his status is embarrassing, Shen Shiqian can't even be called the late emperor, now he can neither be said to be a prince, nor can he be said to be the last son of the late emperor, the younger brother of the emperor, those people can only still call him "Prince".

But he can be regarded as Shen Yan's cousin no matter what.

"Sir, how do you think he should be placed?"

"He's still too young." Jiang Wen'an recalled the scene of being hugged just now, and said, "He's clingy again, and he still needs someone to take care of him, but he can't live in the cold palace anymore."

"Yes." Shen Yan listened patiently to his speech.

"He lost his mother when he was young, and he was not loved by his father. It's a pity. It's better to send him to someone who can really love him."

Hearing this, Shen Yan's face changed slightly, and he pulled the husband to sit down.

He looked solemn: "do you want to raise him, sir?"

"What?" Jiang Wen'an was planning to find a good place for Shen Lan, when he was suddenly asked, his thinking was interrupted.

"Mr. saw that I was pitiful, so he raised me by his side. Now that he is pitiful, do you also want to raise him?" Shen Yan lowered his eyes, thought about it carefully, and seemed to let go of it, "It's not impossible Well, if the husband likes him, he will be raised and treated as a son. If the husband likes him, I will treat him well. Anyway, we will not have children in the future, and the future throne will be passed on to him. Wait When he grows up, I will leave everything to him, and only take my husband out to find a quiet place to live..."

"???" Jiang Wen'an laughed when he heard the words, "How can I make you diverge so much with just one word?"

"I just think he still needs someone to take care of him. Don't you still keep King Zong? I heard that the princess has no children, but let the side concubine overwhelm her. Why don't you let King Zong take Shen Lan over there? It's considered a return." Genealogy."

Zong Wang is the former second prince.

Jiang Wen'an's thinking like this was not on a whim, but after careful consideration.

One is because King Zong has always been gentle and courteous to others, and he would not treat children badly; secondly, King Zong was not favored at one time, and it was not until he moved out of the palace at the age of 16 that he became better. Staying away from political affairs, he became a idle prince in a small county far away from Yanjing, and he would not go to Beijing unless ordered. Even if the two brothers unite in the future and have any second-guessing intentions, it will be difficult to pose a substantial threat to the emperor.

Besides, the princess has no children and has a gentle temperament, so it is most suitable to send Shen Lan to them.

Listening to his explanation, Shen Yan felt a little embarrassed, only then did he realize that he had misunderstood, "I thought sir..."

"What do you think? Do you think I will take home to raise someone who is pitiful? There are so many pitiful people in the world, and I just try to help as much as I can. How can I have so much energy?"

Shen Yan nodded and smiled, naturally satisfied.

"You..." Jiang Wen'an lightly tapped the tip of his nose with his fingertips, and whispered, "You are enough for me."

Shen Yan hugged her husband and acted like a baby, and confirmed that he really didn't have the slightest intention of keeping Shen Lan by his side, so she was relieved.

"Okay, sir, I'm the only one in my heart."
