Those days when Mrs. Yazhai

On the third day from the announcement of the imperial decree to the imperial city, almost everyone in Donghe knew about this transaction that year.

If the two parties in this transaction are ordinary people, maybe everyone doesn't think there is anything wrong.But now one is the emperor, and the other is the great general of the past, especially since the emperor has broken his promise, it is worth fighting for those people on Yaoguang Mountain.

Various voices began to appear among the people:

"You have no jokes, after all, it's just a joke."

"This man surnamed Shen is not a serious emperor after all, and he doesn't have to take what he says seriously."

"It's too much to kill them all after they have already sat on the throne."

"I still don't feel at ease sitting on the throne that I got by killing someone's own father. Otherwise, why do I still not want to let go of a child after 20 years?"

"Father is not a good man, nor is his son a good thing. The one who leads people around the mountain is the eldest prince."

"This kind of person still wants to inherit the throne, how can he deserve it?"

Shen Qi felt somewhat uncomfortable when he heard this.

But He An finally had a chance to go down the mountain to play, and he didn't want to spoil He An's interest, so he forced out smiling faces one by one.

At noon, he randomly found a place to eat, and as soon as Shen Qi took He An to sit down, he heard someone talking about the emperor again.

"Speaking of which, the emperor is now bedridden, which is considered retribution."

"Isn't that just retribution? Two of the five sons died, one was missing, and the remaining two were either young or had problems. I think Donghe will have to be replaced again."

The food hasn't been served yet, but Shen Xi doesn't want to eat at all.

After all, he was his own father, and it was really unpleasant to hear him being said this way and that way.

He An listened to other people's discussion, looked at Shen Qi's ugly face, and asked cautiously: "Is sister-in-law unhappy?"

Shen Qi originally didn't want to speak out about his unhappiness, but when He An asked about it, he told the truth: "I'm a little unhappy, I don't want to hear others say that about him with my own ears."

He An nodded to express his understanding, "Blood is thicker than water, after all, it's his blood that flows in sister-in-law's body."

They came down the mountain this time with Third Uncle and Chang'an, and Zhong Mo Xiaoyin was also with them.But the third uncle and Chang An had other things to do, Xiao Yin accompanied Zhong Mo back to the Gu Mansion to help clean the house, and only Shen Qi was left to accompany He An to walk around to relax.

Because there is no one else around, the atmosphere is awkward when both of them are silent.

At first, Shen Qi didn't realize that there was something wrong with He An's emotions. It wasn't until He An didn't move his chopsticks after the dishes were served that Shen Qi realized that there was something wrong with He An.

"Why doesn't He An eat? Is the food not to your liking?" Shen Qi asked.

He An pouted and asked him, "Does sister-in-law want to leave my brother and go back to the imperial city?"

Shen Qi did have this plan, but he wanted to find medicinal materials, and he would come back after he went.

But that can't be said yet.

So Shen Qi shook his head, and said lightly, "I never thought about leaving Chang'an."

"But doesn't sister-in-law feel sorry for the emperor? Don't you want to go back and have a look?"

This Shen Qi also thought about it.But as long as he went back to the palace to look for medicinal materials, he would always see them, so he didn't think much about it.

Having said that, Shen Qi suddenly understood what He An was worried about. In order to reassure He An, Shen Qi took He An's hand and said firmly, "Don't worry He An, I won't leave."

"Sister-in-law must not leave. If you leave my brother, you will not be able to stay on the mountain. If you all leave, our family will be incomplete."

Shen Qi rubbed He An's hand distressedly, and assured him again: "I won't leave, I really won't."

Later, the meal was finally finished in harmony.According to the agreement, everyone should meet at Gu Nanjiu's house after lunch.

Shen Qi hadn't been here for a long time, and when he walked to the gate of the Gu Mansion based on his memory, he felt a strange feeling for no reason.

Shen Qi knew where that feeling came from.

Everyone in this house has left, and the one he is most familiar with has left, so the remaining cold house is naturally very strange.

He An tugged on Shen Qi who was in a daze, and reminded: "Sister-in-law, we've been standing at the door for a long time, it's time to go in."

This house is very big, Shen Qi had long thought that Zhong Mo and Xiao Yin would not be able to clean it all morning.Sure enough, as soon as he and He An entered the yard, they saw the busy backs of Zhong Mo and Xiao Yin.

They are watering the flowers and trees in the mansion.

After Xiaoyin finished watering the last tree, she put down the bucket and beat herself on the waist, and when she turned her head, she saw Shen Qi and He An.

She happily said to Zhong Mo beside her, "Madam and Second Young Master are here."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Qi and He An had already walked in front of them.

Zhong Mo smiled and said, "Have you eaten so soon?"

"We've eaten," He An answered and looked curiously at the pile of green leaves on the ground, and asked Zhong Mo, "What's the matter?"

"It's the cut branches." Zhong Mo said and cut some branches and leaves, and then explained: "The branches and leaves of these flowers and trees grow very fast. If you don't take care of them often, they will become ugly. I haven't seen them for a long time. Come here once, since you are here, cut some more, so as not to make a mess of these little things when you come next time."

He Anzai listened carefully to Zhong Mo's talk about pruning branches and leaves, but the taste of these words changed in Shen Xi's ears.

He couldn't help thinking of the reason why Zhong Mo hadn't come for a long time this time.

In the final analysis, the person who caused this consequence was still him.

"I'm sorry." Shen Qi apologized again.

Zhong Mo was a little dazed, he didn't quite understand what Shen Qi's endless sorry was for.

Shen Qi explained: "If there were no people surrounding the mountain, Dr. Zhong would not be trapped on the mountain."

Zhong Mo smiled helplessly, "What are you talking about? You don't know how often I come to clean it. What does this have to do with the surrounding mountains?"

Seeing Shen Qi like this, He An feels distressed and sad.

There will always be times when he feels that Shen Qi doesn't treat them as a family, and this sudden apology is the proof.

He An looked at Shen Qi's profile and thought: Sister-in-law actually still wants to leave.

He could feel that Shen Qi had intentionally or unintentionally explained what happened after he left in the past two days, but he always felt that he was thinking too much.

Shen Qi added: "Anyway, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you and I were trapped on the mountain."

Zhong Mo laughed and went to cut off the extra branches and leaves. Instead of responding to Shen Qi's apology, he asked him instead: "Are you apologizing to me as Mrs. Chang'an or as the Fourth Prince?"

It was the first time Shen Qi encountered this kind of question when apologizing in the past few days, but fortunately, this question is not so difficult to answer.

"In the capacity of Mrs. Chang'an."

"Then you don't have to apologize to me, because I am friends with Chang'an, and the word sorry does not exist between me and my friend's wife."

Shen Qi asked curiously, "What about as the fourth prince?"

Zhong Mo turned his head to look at Shen Qi, and replied with a smile: "If it's the fourth prince, there's no need to say sorry to me. Because the fourth prince is also my important friend."
