"...Brother?" Looking at the appearance of the person in front of him, Shen Yang hesitated when he called out.

Shen Zhen, the eldest son of Shen, has been upright since he was a child. He was once placed in high hopes by his father Shen Shilang, but Shen Zhen didn't like intrigue and refused to enter the court. Instead, he yearned for the army very much.

In the end, Shen Zhen ran away from home, and Shen's father no longer recognized his son.

Where did Shen Zhen go, no one knew, even Shen Yang, who remembered everything, had never heard of the whereabouts of his elder brother, and did not expect to meet his elder brother here.

Different from Shen Liang, the second son of the Shen family, Shen Zhen never changed his attitude after Aunt Zhao gave birth to Shen Yang. He treated Shen Yang no differently from his own brother, and even cared more about Shen Yang because Shen Liang was often bullied by Shen Liang. , it can be said that Shen Zhen is the last conscience of the Shen family.

If it weren't for him, Shen Yang would not be able to spend her childhood peacefully, but because of Shen Zhen's sudden departure, Mrs. Shen became even worse. Perhaps in Mrs. Shen's eyes, Aunt Zhao and Shen Yang were the culprits that made her disagree with her husband and her eldest son. culprit.

However, what Shen Yang is most curious about now is why Shen Zhen appeared here.

After Shen Zhen entered the door, he didn't treat himself as an outsider, and asked his servants to take him and Shen Yang to the front hall to drink tea, and the two chatted about the past on the way.

After being away for many years, Shen Zhen was not very clear about the affairs of the capital, so he asked Shen Yang about it.

"Are the parents okay? Does Aunt Zhao still love making sweet-scented osmanthus cakes as before?"

This mention directly hit Shen Yang's weakness, he bowed his head and faced each other in silence, while Ruxian at the side thought for a while to answer for Shen Yang.

"Aunt Zhao is no longer here."

Shen Zhen was stunned for a while, as if he couldn't accept that the old man in his memory was no longer alive, he took a look at Ru Xian, then turned his head and said to Shen Yang:

"It's the elder brother who said the wrong thing. Why are you surrounded by servants who have no power to restrain the chicken? In another day, the elder brother will send you some soldiers to accompany you."

These words meant something, Shen Yang asked: "When is another day?"

"Third brother has always been smart, why bother to say so?" Shen Zhen patted Shen Yang on the shoulder, with a teasing tone, in his eyes, they were relatives, and it was natural for them to be angry.

Shen Yang's health is not good now, not to mention that Shen Zhen is very energetic in joining the army, this slap made him slump his shoulders and cough violently, Shen Zhen's hands stopped in mid-air and he was at a loss.

Ruxian Ruxin hurriedly helped Shen Yang to comfort him, annoyed, Ruxin gave Shen Zhen a cross-eyed look.

"The princess is not in good health, how can you be so strong!"

"This..." Shen Zhen withdrew his hand and wiped his armor, and said in embarrassment: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so weak, it's because of my fault."

"fine."

Shen Yang waved his hands to make Ruxian Ruxin back away, raised his head to look into the other person's eyes, his face was pale after coughing, but the words he spit out were sonorous.

"If the eldest brother is here to persuade me to return to the third prince, then the eldest brother can leave."

His words were firm without any hesitation, as if he was speaking of an established fact.

But it was extremely harsh in Shen Zhen's ears, and his face darkened.

For a while, the atmosphere froze.

After a while, Shen Zhen sighed, looking at Shen Yang as if looking at a naughty child.

"Third brother, you are still young, don't be petty about this kind of thing."

Shen Yang shook his head calmly, "I didn't play petty temper."

"Isn't it just playing petty temper to say such a thing?" Shen Zhen was also anxious, "We are a family!"

Said, Shen Zhen stepped forward and squeezed Shen Yang's shoulders tightly, the latter frowned in pain, but his eyes remained calm.

Shen Yang finally recalled the appearance of his elder brother. He was always so upright and moved towards the ideal in his heart, so he would defend himself when Shen Liang bullied him, and he would treat the two younger brothers equally.

It was precisely because of this righteousness that Shen Zhen was able to break with his father. He could not see the filth of the Shen family, he could not see the filth of the world, and he could only see the world in his own eyes.

In fact, there is no difference between Shen Zhen and the rest of the Shen family from the root. The Shen family is one extreme, while Shen Zhen has gone to another extreme.

Shen Yang broke away from his elder brother's hands, and he answered him in a very rational and calm tone.

"Brother, Aunt Zhao is dead, and I no longer belong to the Shen family."

"What are you talking about?" Shen Zhen looked at Shen Yang with unbelievable eyes, "We are all one family."

Yes, at least it used to be, Shen Yang remembered a part of his childhood, that was one day in autumn, Shen Zhen brought his younger brother Shen Liang to Aunt Zhao’s yard, Shen Yang ate osmanthus made by Aunt Zhao together with them Cake, Shen Zhen taught the two younger brothers to be friendly, and Aunt Zhao stood aside smiling.

Shen Yang closed his eyes, if Aunt Zhao was still there, maybe everything would be different, but this cannot be changed, he opened his eyes.

"I hate the Shen family."

Everything in the Shen family is extremely disgusting.

Shen Yang used to be very envious of Shen Zhen, he was the eldest son, he could be free, even after leaving home, even though Shen Shilang said that there was no more Shen Zhen in the Shen family, he still missed his eldest son.

And Shen Yang is just a shadow under the candlelight, without any sense of existence, he admires Shen Zhen and thanks Shen Zhen, but he can't change the fact that he loathes the Shen family.

Shen Zhen couldn't understand Shen Yang's words, and stretched out his hand to grab Shen Yang's arm, but the hidden guard suddenly appeared and stood between them.

Just like the irreversible ideological gap between them when they grew up.

At this moment, a sharp voice belonging to the eunuch came from outside the door.

"The decree arrives—"

All eyes looked at the past together.

At this time, the mansion where the third prince lived was surrounded by the thirteenth prince Qi Xiang, and Qi Xiang brought Qiwen to question the third prince.

When he learned that Qiwen's master is Fengyueyi, and that Qiwen came to the south and learned about Fengyueyi's deeds, the third prince couldn't help frowning, and he looked at Qi Xiang who was trying to restrain his anger.

"Just based on what a servant said, is Thirteen so convinced?"

These words completely angered Qi Xiang, he spat fiercely, "Who in the capital does not know that Feng Yueyi and the emperor's aunt are not on good terms, and now she is a daughter of the prime minister's family and dares to poison the emperor's aunt! She intends to murder the emperor's life , what else do you believe in?"

"The truth cannot be proved by just one person. Thirteen, don't be used by others. It will damage the relationship between the two of us."

As soon as the third prince finished speaking, the next moment Qi Xiang's fist hit him in the face, the third prince was caught off guard and was beaten back, touching his face and looking at Qi Xiang.

No matter how hard the latter could hide his anger, "Evidence? The evidence is that what you are looking for is not Feng Yueyi at all, but the Xiangfu behind her. Even if she poisons the emperor's aunt, can you still say something like a servant?" Can't believe it?"

Qiwen knelt aside tremblingly, the other servants who were serving did not expect that Qi Xiang would hit her imperial brother directly, and did not dare to go forward for a while.

"Thirteen, are you going to fight against me for Shen Yang?" The third prince didn't understand what was so good about Shen Yang. From King Bin to Princess Chang to Qi Xiang, why everyone was protecting him, and he looked at him. Qi Xiang, "You and I are blood relatives!"

Qi Xiang sneered, he had seen through his third brother thoroughly.

"If it's possible, I'd rather Aunt Huang be my relative than you—Qi Rong!"
