Du Shuyan also stood up. Today she was wearing a lighter-colored dress. When she stood up, a breeze blew, and her shawl and hair flew playfully.
She raised her hand to smooth away the hair that was flying on her lips, and opened her mouth to call to the second prince, "Is the second prince in such a hurry to go back?"
The second prince was stunned. Could it be that Ayan was still sad? He hesitated for a moment, walked up to Du Shuyan, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"If you feel uncomfortable, I will give you my shoulder to lean on, but you can only lean on it for a while while there is no one around."
Du Shuyan opened his mouth slightly and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Why can't you just lean in for a while? Your Highness is afraid of being seen?"
"Of course not," the second prince quickly explained for fear that he would misunderstand, "Master Du and Mrs. Du lost a daughter, and they must feel uncomfortable now. Besides, they just found you. If they see you and me being so close, they will inevitably think that I’m going to steal you.”
Although he has this idea.
They have just found their granddaughter. Now that he shows interest in Ayan, will Mr. Du treat him well?
Definitely not. When he was in the room just now, he felt that Master Du was looking at him, and he might ask Ayan about his relationship later.
"Your Highness is so attentive,"
Du Shuyan sincerely praised.
How could she not like the second prince who put himself in her shoes?
After what happened to Shen Huai, her grandfather and grandmother would definitely be picky about her future husband.
What the second prince said was not unreasonable.
"Then I'll go first," the prince waved his hand and turned to leave.
He finally understood what Luo'er said that they might be together after Ayan regained her identity.
Why did he ignore the words "possible" at that time?
After all, it was all because of Shen Huai. If it hadn't been for Shen Huai, he would have been able to marry A Yan once this matter was over.
…
Du Shuyan watched the second prince leave and return to the house. As expected, he was questioned.
"Yan'er, do you know the second prince?"
As soon as Mr. Du finished speaking, Mrs. Du gave him a sharp look.
No, why is madam glaring at him?
Mr. Du looked away, Madam Mingming was also curious.
"I know you. The second prince has helped me before."
Du Shuyan told the story of living in Fengyue Tower.
"So this second prince is quite a nice person." Mrs. Du said with a smile.
Mr. Du disagreed, "What's better?"
If it's good, will you go to Fengyue Tower?
He thought that the second prince and Yan'er had something to do with each other. Now it seemed that he was right. Could it be that the second prince fell in love with Yan'er?
No, the granddaughter he just found is not well pampered yet and cannot be abducted by the second prince.
"Yan'er, grandpa and grandma only have you."
He doesn't understand the second prince, what if it's Shen Huai again? He failed to protect his daughter before, and now he can't let Yan'er follow in the same footsteps.
"Grandpa," Du Shuyan thought that now was not the time to talk about this matter, so he changed the subject and said, "I will go see my mother when the matter is over."
…
On the other side, King Yueqing and Shen Yu returned to the palace.
Shen Yu lowered his head and twirled his fingers uneasily.
The prince took her back to the palace, not knowing what to do with her.
King Yueqing stopped, turned to look at Shen Yu who was wandering in the world, frowned and called her.
"Your Majesty called me for something?"
Shen Yu came to his senses and followed King Yueqing.
"Since the Emperor has allowed you to visit your parents, if you want to go, I will make arrangements."
It was true that someone would give him a pillow when he felt sleepy. He thought he had to beg the emperor's brother to let Shen Yu visit Shen Huai, but he didn't expect the emperor's brother to take the initiative.
To be so kind to the daughter of a guilty minister, the emperor's brother is really not suitable to be an emperor.
"Are you serious?" Shen Yu's voice was a little surprised. She really wanted to meet Shen Huai and Du Lin. If she remembered correctly, Du Shuyan's mother's dowry was still in her mother's hands.
When she goes to see them, she can not only watch their jokes, but also learn how much the dowry is.
When this is over, she can escape from the palace with the money and go to a place where no one knows her.
"Then let's do it tomorrow," King Yueqing frowned. The night was long and he had many dreams, so he couldn't wait too long.
Shen Yu did not dare to refute and nodded in agreement.
…
The next day.
It was the day when Shen Yu went to visit Shen Huai and the two of them, and it was also the day when the imperial examination results were released.
King Yueqing, who paid close attention to the two events, immediately asked people to look at the list.
The subordinate who looked at the list came back soon and told King Yueqing the results. After hearing this, King Yueqing burst into laughter.
"In this case, Shen Huai, the abandoned son, can be killed."
Originally, I was a little worried that this person would fail the exam, but now I have no worries at all.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my subordinates have made arrangements. Shen Yu is probably on the carriage with food by now, and will send Shen Huai and the two on their way."
The two people said that Shen Yu had already arrived at Dali Temple, because the emperor had specifically ordered that Shen Yu go to the cell where Shen Huai and Du Lin were imprisoned without any hindrance.
When Shen Yu, who was smiling, looked into the cell, his smile froze, and then he let out a scream.
The jailer who originally planned to walk aside heard the noise and came over displeased.
"What are you howling for?"
Shen Yu raised his hand and pointed at Shen Huai and Du Lin, who were lying on the ground with wide eyes in the cell, and said in a trembling voice: "Dead...dead people."
The jailer quickly took out the key and opened the door, squatted down and checked the condition of the two people. No injuries were seen on the two people, but they were not breathing.
The other jailers were attracted by Shen Yu's voice and knew something was wrong.
One of them planned to go find Mr. Du, and when he walked to the door, he saw Mr. Du and Yang Wen walking in.
"Sir, it's not good."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Mr. Du walked quickly inside. When the guards saw him and Yang Wen bowing and bowing, they stepped aside.
The jailer who brought Shen Yu in told him what he knew.
Master Du looked at Shen Yu, who was stunned beside him. Shen Yu squeezed the food box in his hand tightly, and felt Master Du's eyes and quickly opened his mouth to explain.
"It wasn't me. They were already dead when I came."
Shen Yu didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment. When she came, she planned to ridicule Shen Huai and Du Lin, but when she saw them lying motionless on the ground.
But I couldn't feel happy in my heart, and I even felt a little sore in my eyes.
She clearly realized that she would be the only one in the world from now on, without any relatives.
"Take her down first," Mr. Du asked someone to take Shen Yu down and asked Yang Wen to check the body to see if there were any clues.
Yang Wen walked into the cell, squatted down and checked the two people, but found nothing.
"Sir, it seems that we can only find out the cause of death by letting Wu Zuo come."
Looking at the expressions of the two men, it was indeed homicide, but no wounds could be found.
"Sir, we have been guarding and no one has broken in."
Worried about being held accountable, the jailer spoke.
Remembering the Emperor's concern about this matter, Mr. Du decided to report it to the Emperor first.
"This matter is not trivial. Please report this to the Emperor first."
When the emperor learned about this, he subconsciously thought that King Yueqing had done it.
