A month passed quickly, and Shen Yang and Bin Wang stepped into the carriage to leave Beijing.

Sitting on the carriage, Shen Yang lifted the curtain and looked back, his thoughts went back to five days ago.

Ever since he returned to the capital, King Bin became more and more busy. Shen Yang could only see King Bin every time it was time for treatment. Knowing that King Bin was busy, Shen Yang would not rush into the study like before.

Usually, the darkroom modulation treatment plan is prepared in King Bin's yard or Aunt Zhao's yard. Whenever I have time, I will stay with Aunt Zhao.

Both of them have a tacit understanding not to disturb each other.

It has been one and a half months since Shen Yang was injured, his leg injury is almost healed, and he no longer needs to use the immobilization board, but it will take some time for rehabilitation before he can fully recover.

Compared to Shen Yang's leg injury, which only needed time to recover, King Bin's situation was a bit more complicated. It took two weeks for the disorder caused by the poison to stabilize before restarting treatment.

Even so, it was still difficult to deal with. Shen Yang could only do his best. The previously estimated time would need to be extended again. King Bin didn't care about it, as time was no longer important to him.

As long as his legs can stand up again, King Bin is willing to spend more time.

But for Shen Yang, this is undoubtedly a challenge.

After finishing today's treatment, Shen Yang checked Bin Wang's pulse again. Bin Wang's body had already developed drug resistance, resulting in little effect of the treatment.

A dangerous treatment plan flashed through Shen Yang's mind, but he quickly left it behind.

——Wait, maybe there are other possibilities.

Seeing that Shen Yang was distracted frequently, King Bin asked.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Shen Yang came back to his senses, and he was stunned for a while before he realized, "I'm thinking about a plan to treat the prince."

"Follow your steps."

"But..." Shen Yang frowned slightly, he wasn't sure if there was a chance of recovery, maybe it took longer, maybe it was just a joy in the end.

King Bin's expression was natural, with trust in Shen Yang in his eyes, "This king can afford to wait."

At this moment, Shen Yang was about to blurt out the words, but his rationality instantly allowed him to reach the words on his lips. Now, he can't use King Bin's life to gain that possibility.

So Shen Yang changed the subject pretending to be calm under King Bin's sight, and when he talked about the ancestor worship ceremony, his expression was a little unnatural.

"The ancestor worship ceremony is coming soon, do I need to prepare anything?"

"The butler will make arrangements, so you don't need to worry." Bin Wangquan was nervous when Shen Yang participated in the grand ceremony for the first time, and did not reveal it.

Shen Yang didn't want to say, he wouldn't ask more.

Bin Wang's acting skills were far superior to Shen Yang's inferior performance. Shen Yang didn't notice that Bin Wang noticed something wrong with him at all, and he was relieved that Bin Wang didn't ask.

The royal family's ancestral temple is two days away from the capital, and the round trip plus the grand ceremony will take up to seven days. Roughly calculated, it will take half a month to go all the way.

The day of leaving Beijing is imminent, Shen Yang became more and more anxious, he was worried about Aunt Zhao.

Recently, Aunt Zhao's health is getting worse and worse, whether she can survive until Shen Yang comes back is unknown.

A few days ago, Aunt Zhao even fell into a coma for two days and two nights. The imperial doctor arranged by Shen Yang and King Bin stayed there for two nights before she was relieved to see Aunt Zhao wake up.

After King Bin knew about it, he scolded Shen Yang for a stick of incense. Although it was not a reprimand, it was just an order to worry about Shen Yang's health. Sun stared at Shen Yang to fall asleep, and even Aunt Zhao persuaded him.

During that time, Shen Yang really couldn't laugh or cry.

Back to the present, Shen Yang looked at Aunt Zhao on the bed with a heavy heart.

Aunt Zhao became thinner and thinner, her whole body was skinny and bony, she was supported by a breath of energy, her skin was sickly pale, and the blue veins under her skin were faintly visible.

Shen Yang couldn't imagine what his expression was like now, panic, anxiety, and fear were mixed together, like an insurmountable mountain pressing on him.

Aunt Zhao woke up and saw Shen Yang with a worried face, still showing a gentle smile, she stretched out her hand, and Shen Yang leaned slightly to let Aunt Zhao touch her face.

"What happened to make you look like this?" Her eyes were a little cloudy, like someone who was about to die, and her voice was like a cloud in the sky, pale and weak.

Shen Yang lowered his eyes and saw Aunt Zhao's protruding hand. No matter how good the food was, Aunt Zhao would never recover. He tried his best to restrain his emotions, but no matter how restrained he was, Shen Yang's words still revealed worry and depression.

"I'm about to go to the ancestor worship ceremony with the prince, and I won't be back until half a month later."

"Is it because of this?" Aunt Zhao smiled, "Silly boy."

"I..." Shen Yang looked up at Aunt Zhao, unable to speak out what was in his heart.

Aunt Zhao knew what Shen Yang wanted to say, she rubbed the top of Shen Yang's hair, and said softly:

"Yang Er, don't worry, when you come back, you will definitely see that your mother is well."

Shen Yang's eyes were slightly red, and he couldn't speak in tune.

"Okay, I believe mother."

On the night when he left the courtyard, Shen Yang suffered from insomnia, as if he had returned to the time when he first came to this world, helpless and nervous to protect himself.

Now he can protect himself and others, but he can only watch the people around him leave him.

After the third watch, Shen Yang still couldn't fall asleep, so he got up, put on his shoes and walked to the desk.

The movement woke up Ru Xin who was dozing off on duty. She rubbed her eyes and saw Shen Yang lit a candle and sat behind the desk, took out a pen and paper, and went forward to grind ink for Shen Yang.

"Princess, what are you going to write at this late hour?"

Shen Yang paused the tip of the pen when he heard this, and the ink left a little mark on the paper.

Under the flickering candlelight, Shen Yang's expression was difficult to understand.

Ruxin didn't get an answer, and saw that Shen Yang's face was not very good, so she shut up and stopped talking. She could only recognize a few words, but she couldn't understand what Shen Yang wrote, so she didn't read it after reading it for a while. Yes, grind the ink carefully.

When changing shifts the next day, Ruxian saw a few ink marks on her sister's face, she was full of doubts, and Ruxin's actions resolved Ruxian's doubts.

I saw Ru Xin wiped her eyes with her hands, and there was another ink mark on her face, Ru Xian frowned and wanted to reprimand, but was amused by Ru Xin's appearance.

Shen Yang came out from the back room, Ruxian immediately put aside the matter of reprimanding Ru Xin, she saw that Shen Yang was neatly dressed, his eyes were dimly darkened, she thought she didn't sleep well yesterday.

No wonder Ru Xin looks like this.

"Ru Xian, go and call Lan Xi over."

"Yes."

Ruxian obeys the order to leave, and drags Ruxin away by the way.

Lan Xi, who was changing Aunt Zhao's clothes, learned that Shen Yang let her go, and passed the work in hand to other maids.

When Lan Xi arrived, Shen Yang was sitting behind the desk in a daze, holding a jade tablet repaired with gold thread in his hand, and when he heard someone coming in, he immediately retracted his wandering thoughts.

Shen Yang handed Lan Xi a letter, and said under Lan Xi's puzzled eyes:

"Auntie, if Mother doesn't wait for me to come back, give this letter to her."

Hearing this, Lan Xi's brows were also tinged with sadness. They all knew Aunt Zhao's situation well.

"Don't worry, young master, the servant knows."

"Aunt Lao is taking care of you in the mansion."

Lan Xi shook her head, "It's a slave's blessing to be able to take care of Aunt Zhao and the young master."

When it was time to leave the capital, Shen Yang and King Bin got into the carriage together, looked sideways at the big butler and Lan Xi who were seeing off outside the gate.

Moving up the line of sight, there are three large characters of Prince Bin's Mansion on the plaque.

The fear of entering the palace for the first time is still vivid in my memory, but now I am reluctant to leave.

The carriage slowly drove away from the gate of the palace, picking up dust on the ground.

The palace disappeared around the corner with the carriage driving, Shen Yang was still looking back, suddenly felt his hand being held, his body froze for a moment, he retracted his gaze and looked at King Bin beside him.

"Stay if you don't want to leave."

Shen Yang didn't respond, no matter it was for Aunt Zhao or King Bin, he couldn't just stay in the capital like this.

Not only because Shen Yang wanted to record his name on the imperial genealogy at this ancestor worship ceremony, but also because Aunt Zhao and Li lived in the palace, which had already affected King Bin.

Under the ignorant thinking of feudal dynasties, once married, she is her husband's family. Even if some people think that King Bin is benevolent, more people will only think that King Bin is incapable of controlling his wife, so they let their wives ride on their husbands.

If Shen Yang still stayed in the capital because of this, it would have a great impact on Bin Wang's reputation and Aunt Zhao's. Moreover, going to the imperial family tree was a big event, and Shen Yang, as the party involved, could not be absent.

His thoughts came back, Shen Yang did not answer Bin Wang's words, but asked him.

"My lord, can my aunt wait until we come back?"

Bin Wang held his hand tightly, and told Shen Yang firmly.

"Will do."

"I believe in the prince."

The hands of the two were tightly clasped.

On the second day on the way to the imperial ancestral temple, it rained suddenly, and the group was stranded at the post station.

When the rain subsided a little at noon, another team came to the station.

Shen Yang could hear the voices of those people in the room, he didn't care at first, but he heard two familiar voices.

"Cousin Xiang is the most annoying! Don't grab Sui Sui's toys!"

Shen Yang's expression was shocked, and King Bin's voice came from behind him.

"The eldest sister is here, let me go down with the king."

Downstairs, the eldest princess was sitting beside her, her temples were wet, and the maid was wiping the water stains on her clothes. She held a teacup and looked at Princess Huiping and the thirteenth prince who were making trouble.

Princess Huiping is young and not tall, so she raised her hand and jumped up to snatch back the toy belonging to the thirteenth prince Qi Xiang, but Qi Xiang refused to let her succeed, and when Princess Huiping wanted to give up , lowering her hand made her angrily want to grab it again

In the end Princess Huiping was overwhelmed, and kicked Qi Xiang's calf forcefully. Qi Xiang pretended to be in pain. Princess Huiping immediately reached out to grab him, but Qi Xiang, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, dodged him again.

Princess Huiping stomped her feet in anger, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry, "Cousin Xiang is the worst!"

"Hey, don't cry, can't I give it back to you?"

Qi Xiang liked this the most, and hurriedly returned the toy in his hand to Princess Huiping, who immediately smiled, glanced away, ran over with the toy, and hugged Shen Yang's leg.

"Beautiful brother, why are you here?"

Shen Yang took a step back after being hit, leaning on King Bin's wheelchair to support Princess Huiping.

Qi Xiang also came over, and said while walking:

"Sui Sui, you have to call me Auntie."
