In March, when the peach blossoms first bloomed, Shen Yinghan returned to Beijing with the Northern Expedition Army.

The people of the Qing Dynasty welcomed the people across the road, and the whole journey was mighty and mighty.

Shen Yinghan led the Northern Zheng Army into the palace to receive the seal, while Song Sijun went straight back to the Shen family.

The servants have already cleaned up in advance, and the butler has also prepared meals.

The triumphant return was originally a good thing, but Song Sijun couldn't be happy when he thought about the eldest princess.

When Shen Yinghan came back, the eldest princess should have the answer whether she was alive or dead.

Seeing Song Sijun standing at the door in a daze, the butler stepped forward and asked, "Is Madam worried about Lord Hou?"

Song Sijun shook his head. Given the current situation, it was the emperor who should be worried.

Shen Yinghan has the military power in his hands and has formed an alliance with the Three Kingdoms. For him, the rebellion and usurpation of the throne is no longer about whether he will succeed, but whether he wants to.

"Then why is the madam so sad?" the butler asked puzzled.

Song Sijun glanced at the butler, but did not answer, but asked, "Butler, are you free?"

The butler was at a loss for words for a while, then bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "It's the old slave who overstepped." As a servant, he shouldn't ask about the master's affairs.

Song Sijun waved his hand to signal the other party to back down, then turned around and entered the room, waiting for Shen Yinghan to come back.

Waiting left and right, but seeing no return, Song Sijun became more and more impatient. After hesitating for a while, he ordered his horse to be prepared and prepared to go to the gate of the palace to wait for someone.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Shen Yinghan bringing Yang Kang and others back.

Looking at Shen Yinghan's furrowed brows, Song Sijun guessed that nothing good happened.

Looking behind him, he didn't see the eldest princess.

Song Sijun stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Shen Yinghan said in a deep voice: "He doesn't want to let his mother come back, he wants to use her to threaten me."

Mentioning this matter, Yang Kang and the others who followed behind Shen Yinghan would also look very angry.

"Did you... see the eldest princess?" Song Sijun asked after a moment of hesitation, "Did you see her in person?"

Shen Yinghan seemed to have guessed something, frowned and looked at Song Sijun, "Do you know something?"

Song Sijun thought about it, and felt that if the matter of the eldest princess continued to be concealed, sooner or later it would become a thorn between him and Shen Yinghan.And he can hide it for a while, but not forever.

Now that the war has subsided, Shen Yinghan's pressure is much less, and it's time to tell the other party about the eldest princess.

Song Sijun: "The emperor wants to use the eldest princess to restrict you, so he won't hurt the eldest princess. And you don't intend to fight against the emperor now, so even if the eldest princess stays in the palace, there is no danger. Now you should find a way to see the eldest princess. Make sure she's okay."

Although he didn't say what he said clearly, as a smart person like Shen Yinghan, he quickly realized that something might happen to the eldest princess. He was a little agitated, and grabbed Song Sijun's arm, "Did something happen to my mother?"

Song Sijun: "I'm not sure either...Lin Changxu's divination before said that the eldest princess may have...gone..."

Hearing this, Shen Yinghan froze in place, then came back to his senses, let go of Song Sijun, turned around and got into the carriage, and ordered: "Enter the palace."

Seeing this, Song Sijun quickly climbed into the carriage, "Master Hou..."

Shen Yinghan looked at him, with undisguised sadness and breakdown in his eyes.

With just one glance, Song Sijun felt distressed, hurried forward, sat down beside Shen Yinghan, and comforted him, "Maybe Lin Changxu made a mistake..."

Shen Yinghan didn't answer, and lay on Song Sijun's shoulder with a tired face.

Soon, the two returned to the palace.

Shen Yinghan's current status is not what it used to be. In the past, he was delicate because of his birth, but now he is noble because of his military achievements.

The two walked along the way, and no one dared to really stop them.

Straight into the imperial study, besides Gu Chengxuan, there is also the eldest son of the emperor, Gu Pan'er.

The last time we met was at the Hot Spring Palace. Back then Shen Yinghan was still a sick man who gasped for breath after taking two steps, but now he is a military lord who can open the door with one kick.

Shen Yinghan was born into a wealthy family and has his cultivation. Now that his mother's life and death are at stake, Shen Yinghan is unwilling to pay attention to those etiquettes, and directly said to Gu Chengxuan: "I will let me see my mother."

Shen Yinghan was so rude, the emperor Gu Chengxuan was naturally displeased, he frowned and said: "Marquis Chang'an, don't be petty and spoiled, and forget the courtesy of a monarch and minister."

Shen Ying smiled coldly and said, "As I wish, we are the rulers and ministers."

Gu Chengxuan slapped the table and stood up, "Presumptuous!"

Shen Yinghan walked in front of him, raised his hand and patted the table, and said in a deep voice, "Let me see my mother!"

Gu Chengxuan was trembling with anger, pointed at Shen Yinghan and said, "Are you trying to rebel?"

At this time, Wei Changqing and others heard the movement in the imperial study room, and they also gathered around the door of the imperial study room, waiting for the emperor to give orders at any time.

In this palace, Shen Yinghan did not seem to be the emperor's opponent. The emperor could have someone kill him, but he dared not.

If Shen Yinghan died in the palace, the North Army would be in chaos, and the situation would be even more difficult to control.

Shen Yinghan said: "Uncle, I just want to see my mother, why do you think it is rebellion?"

Gu Chengxuan showed embarrassment, and said: "When the time comes, I will arrange for you to meet the eldest princess."

Shen Yinghan asked: "Why can't it be now?" He stared at Gu Chengxuan, as if he could see through the other person's heart, leaving Gu Chengxuan nowhere to hide.

Gu Chengxuan never expected that he would lose to Shen Yinghan in terms of momentum. He couldn't keep face, so he was even more ashamed and annoyed. He glared at Shen Yinghan, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to see your mother, please be honest."

Shen Yinghan: "Don't let me see my mother and make sure of her safety. I can't be honest. The Northern Army has just finished the battle, and now it's hot to fight back! Uncle!" In the last address, Shen Yinghan deliberately emphasized the tone, as if In emphasizing the general, it is also blatantly threatening the other party.

Gu Chengxuan looked at Shen Yinghan in front of him, and couldn't believe that this was his little nephew who was soft and easy to deceive.

He looked at the other person's eyes, as if he saw Shen Huaqing, who was equally beautiful, but also scared him.

Gu Chengxuan was extremely angry in his heart, but he could only endure it, just like when Shen Yinghan was sent to negotiate a peace in front of him, he had no choice but to swallow his unwillingness and anger.

Gu Chengxuan raised his hand to his forehead, and said: "Your mother is not in the palace right now, after I get someone to pick her up, I will naturally arrange for you to meet her."

Hearing this answer, Shen Yinghan was a little more satisfied, and asked in a cold voice, "How many days?"

Gu Chengxuan thought for a while and replied: "Two days."

"Okay." Shen Yinghan turned around and glanced at the eldest son of the emperor who was standing by the side, "Wei Chen and the eldest son of the emperor are cousins, so we shouldn't have such a relationship, why don't the eldest son of the emperor stay at my house for two days, and let us two brothers, Get to know each other."

He said he was inviting the other party as a guest, but he actually wanted to take Gu Pan'er back as a hostage.

Gu Pan'er naturally understood Shen Yinghan's intentions, and hurriedly looked up at Gu Chengxuan pleadingly, hoping that the other party would reject Shen Yinghan.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Chengxuan ignored the eyes of the eldest son Gu Pan'er pleading for help, and nodded in agreement.

Hearing Gu Chengxuan's agreement, Gu Pan'er's face instantly turned pale, and she looked at Shen Yinghan with fear.

Shen Yinghan looked at Gu Pan'er's cowardly look, and was somewhat disappointed in the eldest son of the emperor.

With such a timid character, how can he be the king of a country in the future?

Shen Yinghan asked Gu Pan'er: "Is there anything His Royal Highness needs to bring? If not, I will go back with my ministers."

After Gu Pan'er looked up at Shen Yinghan, seeing the indifference on his face, he lowered his head in fright and said, "I need to pack some clothes..."

Shen Yinghan: "Then let's go back with His Highness to clean up." After speaking, he looked at Gu Pan'er and forced the other party to take the initiative to move.

Gu Pan'er was still a little unwilling, so he turned to look at Gu Chengxuan, wanting to ask for help.

But Gu Chengxuan still had a cold face, and urged: "Hurry up and clean up."

Hearing this answer, Gu Pan'er's heart was half cold.

Afterwards, Song Sijun and Shen Yinghan went to Gu Pan'er's residence together, watching Gu Pan'er dilly-dally asking the eunuch to pack his things for him.

Because of the repulsion in her heart, Gu Pan'er deliberately delayed the time, an hour passed, and she still hadn't packed up the salute.

Shen Yinghan saw his little trick, but didn't bother to talk to the other party, so he sat there with his eyes closed and rested.

But Song Sijun didn't have that much patience, looked at Gu Pan'er who was tossing the eunuch and said: "Your Highness, you can't change the facts if you delay like this, why bother?"

Gu Pan'er looked at him, frowning slightly.

Song Sijun continued: "If you procrastinate like this and offend Lord Hou, you will be the one who suffers in the end."

His words seemed to have an effect, and then Gu Pan'er casually packed the two pieces of clothes, and then completed the work of packing that he hadn't finished an hour ago.

Gu Pan'er pulled her own things and walked up to Shen Yinghan. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Cousin..."

Shen Yinghan opened his eyes, looked at Gu Pan'er in front of him, with an indifferent expression: "Don't call me so affectionate, I still remember that you put dead mice in my tea."

Just one sentence scares Gu Pan'er so that his face turns pale.

Shen Yinghan got up, stretched out his hand to hold Song Sijun's hand, then turned and left.

Gu Pan'er was so frightened that she stood where she was, and after a long time, after being reminded by the eunuch, she came back to her senses and trotted behind Shen Yinghan and the others.

Song Sijun was dragged by Shen Yinghan, followed him, and said in a low voice: "It's been a few years since that incident, I didn't expect you to remember it, and you seem to hold a grudge."

Hearing Song Sijun comment on himself like this, Shen Yinghan was not angry, but just smiled dotingly.

The three returned to Shen's residence again, and Yang Kang and the others were shocked when they saw the eldest son of the emperor, Gu Pan'er, brought back by Shen Yinghan.

Shen Yinghan didn't explain too much, after having dinner with everyone, he let everyone go to rest, leaving only Gu Pan'er and Song Sijun.

Song Sijun sat beside him eating melon seeds, while Gu Pan'er stood in front of Shen Yinghan sweating profusely.

Ever since Shen Yinghan mentioned the matter of putting mice in the tea, Gu Pan'er has been restless, and she felt like sitting on pins and needles when eating. Now that outsiders have left, Gu Pan'er immediately apologized: "I was young and ignorant, and I let the mice die in the tea." , just out of mischief."

Shen Yinghan lowered his eyes, looked down at the melon seed shells at Song Sijun's feet, and said in a flat tone: "It's not at any time, for anyone, that a young and ignorant sentence can completely evade this person."

"Then what exactly does Lord Hou want me to do?" Gu Pan'er could only go all out at this time.

Shen Yinghan stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate in front of Song Sijun, lowered his head to peel the melon seeds, and said, "As the eldest son of the emperor, you don't seem to be very favored?"
