In the capital, the crowd was bustling with people, either peddling, or joking.
Martial law has been in place for several days, and they have become accustomed to it, but getting in and out of the city gate is much more cumbersome and there is a curfew, and everything else remains the same.
Someone among the common people talked about Prince Bin's Mansion, and someone answered immediately, lamenting that Princess Bin's life is bitter and kind.
In addition, the reputation of Prince Bin's mansion has gradually improved. Few people say that King Bin is tyrannical. They seem to have forgotten the rumors and the reputation of King Bin.
A carriage came from the gate of the city and walked slowly on the bustling street. Someone glanced sideways and looked away indifferently.
The carriage finally stopped in front of the gate of the palace, and the butler led people to greet him.
Shen Yang got out of the carriage after King Bin, the chief steward Qi Dongxu saw that Shen Yang was safe and sound with obvious emotions on his face, he took a step forward and quickly backed away.
"Princess, it is great that you have returned safely."
But soon, the butler saw Shen Yang's injured foot.
"Your legs..."
"Don't worry, it's much better." Shen Yang comforted the housekeeper with a smile.
Seeing this, the butler frowned, "You look much happier."
Hearing this, Shen Yang froze for a moment, and King Bin in front turned around and said to Shen Yang:
"Let's go to the mansion first."
"kindness."
The butler was about to ask his servants to carry Shen Yang in, but after being glanced at by King Bin, he immediately changed his words and asked his servants to help Shen Yang into the mansion.
The prince went out for a trip, and he seemed to have changed.
But that's a good thing, isn't it?The butler smiled, and the fine lines around his eyes became more and more obvious.
After parting for a long time and returning to his yard again, Shen Yang's heart was full of nostalgia.
Lan Xi came out of the house with a copper basin, and saw Shen Yang standing at the gate of the courtyard, his whole body froze in place, the copper basin in his hand suddenly hit the ground, and the water spilled all over the floor.
"Sister Lan Xi, what's the matter?" Ru Xin came out of the room when she heard the movement, still holding a rag in her hand.
Ru Xin followed Lan Xi's line of sight and saw a familiar figure.
"Oh my god..." Ru Xin almost lost her voice, when she regained her senses, she shouted loudly: "Sister, the concubine is back!"
While speaking, Ru Xin ran towards Shen Yang.
Ru Xin's voice attracted all the maids who were cleaning out to surround Shen Yang. Shen Yang forced a smile and didn't know what to say. Some, or replaced as servants.
"No work?"
A steady voice sounded, it was Ruxian, she drove the others to work and brought Shen Yang into the house.
The room was very clean, and all the furnishings remained the same as before Shen Yang left.
While pouring tea for Shen Yang, Ru Xian talked about how Qiu Qiu arrived at the palace a day ago. At that time, they didn't know where Qiu Qiu came from and why, and then they learned from Qiu Qiu that Shen Yang was safe and sound. .
For a while, everyone was extremely happy, and they cleaned the house in advance on purpose. Hearing this, Shen Yang asked puzzledly:
"Didn't you clean it before?"
"The lord ordered that the servants are not allowed to move, and after the wangfei disappeared, the lord would stay in the house every two days." Ruxian brought warm tea that had been brewed.
Shen Yang took a sip of tea, "Come here every two days?"
"En." Ru Xian raised her drooping head slightly, and the corners of her eyes were a little red, "Princess, it's all because the slaves are useless that the concubine is in danger."
Saying this, Ruxian knelt down, "The butler pleaded with the prince to let the slaves and Yifeng guards temporarily escape punishment. Ruxian knows that he is incompetent and guilty, so please punish the princess."
Ruxian leaned over and kowtowed heavily, Shen Yang hurriedly put down the teacup to help her up, as expected, there was a red mark on Ruxian's fair forehead.
"You didn't do anything wrong, why should you be punished?"
"But..." Ruxian raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, "If it wasn't for the servants, the concubine might have escaped long ago."
"Even without you, I will try to save those people."
Ru Xian only thought that Shen Yang was comforting herself, wiped away her tears and exited the room.
Shen Yang knew that she hadn't let go of the knot in her heart, so he sighed helplessly, turned his head and saw Ru Xin poking out a head from the door and looking in, he was stunned and laughed out loud.
"Looking at what? Come in."
Ru Xin shrugged and walked in, and it was Lan Xi who came in with her, Shen Yang glanced at Lan Xi, and then shifted his gaze to Ru Xin.
"Princess, is your leg okay?" Ru Xin carefully glanced at Shen Yang's injured leg.
"Don't worry, it won't take long to raise it."
Shen Yang didn't tell the truth, and brought up this topic calmly, Ru Xin believed it was true and felt relieved.
"Princess, can you not punish my sister? This servant is willing to be punished for my sister." Ru Xin whispered, "Since my sister came back, I have always blamed myself. This servant has seen her crying under the quilt several times."
"Why do you all think that I want to punish Ruxian?" Shen Yang was very helpless about this.
Ru Xin tugged at her sleeves, and said: "When the concubine disappeared, the prince lost his temper. He wanted to throw Yifeng guards and sister into the dungeon. It was the butler who came forward to persuade the prince."
This explanation made Shen Yang startled, his eyes turned to other places, and his expression was a little unnatural.
"Why is your lord so angry?"
"Because the prince likes the princess."
Ru Xin answered as it should, but it made Shen Yang's heart beat like thunder.
"I won't punish you like a string...get out."
Shen Yang felt his face was very hot, and hurriedly drove Ru Xin out.
Knowing that Shen Yang would not punish her sister, Ruxin turned from sadness to joy, and closed the door intimately before leaving.
With a "squeak", the temperature on Shen Yang's face calmed down, and he looked up at Lan Xi.
"Auntie, I'm back."
Lan Xi couldn't hide the excitement on her face, her tears couldn't stop falling, and she kept repeating on her lips.
"Just come back, just come back."
"make you worry."
Lan Xi shook her head, she took out a small cloth bag from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Yang.
Open it, inside is a jade tablet that is very familiar to Shen Yang, but there are several cracks on the jade tablet, which are covered by gold threads.
"This is the jade token that Aunt Zhao asked for after the young master was born. The young master never left. Later, the young master took poison and the jade token accidentally broke. Aunt Zhao specially asked a craftsman to repair it. It was repaired a few days ago and sent to the palace."
Shen Yang took the jade token, and a familiar feeling came over him. He could almost be sure that the jade token in his hand was the jade token that his grandfather had always asked him to wear in his previous life. .
Why such a coincidence?Shen Yang couldn't help but clenched the jade tablet tightly, breathing a little short of breath.
"One more thing, young master." Lan Xi resisted the choking in her words, and continued: "Aunt Zhao is seriously ill, and the Shen family invited a doctor from the capital to see her, but there is no way to recover."
"what?"
Shen Yang couldn't believe it, and stared at Lan Xi with wide eyes.
"Aunt Zhao has been sick since she gave birth to the young master. In order not to worry the young master, the young master never found out. But in the past two months, Aunt Zhao has been too worried."
"After the young master disappeared, Aunt Zhao fell ill immediately, and then it became more and more serious. Shen's residence invited doctors, but none of them..."
Having said that, Lan Xi couldn't hide her emotions, and wept uncontrollably.
Shen Yang didn't want to believe it, he tightly clenched the jade token in his hand, got up suddenly and walked out.
"Master—"
Shen Yang stopped, and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to ask the prince to allow me to go back to Shen's residence."
"The servant will go with you."
"No, Lan Xi, you stay, I'll come as soon as I go."
Lan Xi wanted to say more, but Shen Yang had already summoned a guard to let him carry her to King Bin's place.
After a while, King Bin, who was dealing with the backlog of letters in the study, got the news that Shen Yang had come.
When Shen Yang entered the study, before he could speak, King Bin said:
"This king has already learned about Aunt Zhao's situation, and the journey is exhausting. You can rest up for one night, and then go to Shen's residence tomorrow."
After the words fell, Shen Yang's fluttering heart suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes were a little dazed, and he was holding the jade tablet tightly.
"Thank you."
King Bin looked up, "You don't need to say thank you."
Shen Yang stared at those extremely black eyes, and the emotions that could still be controlled in front of Lan Xi collapsed in an instant. He suppressed the burst of tears and lowered his head to hide the emotions at the moment.
Bin Wang noticed it, put down his pen and stretched out his hand and said to Shen Yang: "Come here."
Involuntarily, Shen Yang walked towards King Bin, holding his empty hand.
The temperature of that hand was very hot, and it made people feel safe.
Almost instantly, Shen Yang remembered that when he was in the prime minister's mansion, King Bin was like this, giving himself the courage to refute.
Neither of them spoke, allowing the quiet atmosphere to flow.
After a long time, a breeze passed through the hall, and the writing brush on the desk was blown and rolled all the way to the edge of the table, and fell to the ground with a 'da' sound.
— Splashes of ink, together with transparent drops of water.
In the middle of the night, Shen Yang lay in bed and had a dream.
In the dream, the faces of Grandpa and Aunt Zhao kept flashing back, and finally the scene was frozen with Aunt Zhao accompanying the sick young Shen Yang, humming a sleepy song and coughing softly while tilting her head.
Lan Xi came in from outside the house and brought Aunt Zhao a bowl of medicine. Aunt Zhao didn't even frown, she drank the soup that smelled bitter.
After drinking the medicine, Aunt Zhao's face was abnormally rosy, like a normal person, Lan Xi persuaded worriedly:
"The doctor said, if you continue to drink, I'm afraid it will overdraw your life, Auntie. If the young master finds out..."
Aunt Zhao raised her hand to interrupt Lan Xi's words, and looked down at Shen Yang who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, her brows were full of mother's love.
"It's enough to last until Yang'er marries a wife." Afterwards, Aunt Zhao continued humming the ballad.
The song was soft, like the warm spring wind, blowing into Shen Yang's heart.
The scene in front of him gradually faded away, and Shen Yang saw his grandfather again.
The gray-haired grandfather stroked Shen Yang's small head. At that time, Shen Yang, who was seven years old, couldn't understand the emotion in his grandfather's eyes, so he hugged him and acted like a baby.
Grandpa smiled helplessly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were traces of the years, but the smiling grandpa lowered his head showing a bit of melancholy.
"Sheep, goat, live well."
Shen Yang suddenly woke up from his dream, he held the jade plaque on his chest.
At this moment, he couldn't tell who he was, Shen Yang, or 'Shen Yang'.
Martial law has been in place for several days, and they have become accustomed to it, but getting in and out of the city gate is much more cumbersome and there is a curfew, and everything else remains the same.
