Liu Yingying, including Wu and others, had never seen such a tragic scene in their lives. They were so shocked that their scalp went numb and their whole body trembled.
Liu Yingying felt that her feet were as heavy as a thousand kilograms, but she couldn't lift her feet no matter what. She stood there for an unknown amount of time, and when she finally stepped forward with her hands tightly held tightly, she saw something in the distance. The honor guard troop came in force——
"The Emperor has arrived——"
"The eldest prince has arrived——"
Not long after, the Shen family received the letter and came out. The leader was Princess Qinghe, who was rarely seen, followed by Shen Yuechan, Mi Ya'er, and others. They were the second wife, Su Ziqing, Shen Yueyun, Shen Yueliang, the third wife, Mu Shi, Shen Yueling, and several female dependents from the fourth and sixth rooms.
At a glance, all of them were female relatives. They were all wearing white mourning belts. There were no maids or attendants beside them.
It was not until the end that four people, Shen Ye, Shen Qing, Shen Rong, and Shen Yu, were seen stepping out at the end. Shen Ye seemed to have grown deeper overnight, becoming a silent towering tree. A long knife mark was cut directly from the eyebrow bone to the left side of Rong's handsome face. The wound was horrifying, and the handsome face was completely destroyed. As for Shen Qing, his arms and head were covered with white cloth. Bound deeply, the injuries can be seen. These are the only four members of the Shen family who can be seen so far. I wonder if they are the only four men left.
Chapter 162
It is said that a mighty black and gold guard of honor drove all the way from the alley, with six emperors in charge. In the front, the servants held high the canopy to clear the way, and in the rear, there were more than a hundred imperial guard regiments guarding them. Wherever they passed, all the people knelt down and worshiped, showing the royal majesty. Supreme.
The honor guard finally stopped in front of the Shen family mansion, and all the Shen family members, headed by Princess Qinghe, immediately roared and knelt down to greet the emperor——
"See your majesty, long live your majesty."
"See the First Prince."
Liu Yingying, Wu and others also hurriedly knelt down on the spot.
I saw the magnificent golden chariot. Emperor Wei Di personally helped him out of the golden chariot through Deng Gong, the first-rank steward. Everyone said calmly: "Just calm down."
The voice of Emperor Wei was gentle and gentle, which was exactly the same as the emperor who was rumored to be a benevolent emperor. There seemed to be a touch of approachability in his majesty.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly walked straight to Princess Qinghe step by step, wanting to personally help Princess Qinghe up, and said warmly: "Qinghe, there is no need to be polite."
Unexpectedly, Princess Qinghe flicked her wide sleeves in front of her waist, pretended not to notice, avoided Emperor Wei's support, and finally put her hand on Shen Yue beside her. In Chan's hands, Shen Yue and Mi Ya'er slowly stood up with the help of two people.
Throughout the whole process, Qinghe Princess Leng Ao solemnly followed the etiquette step by step. Even if she was in front of Emperor Wei, she never raised her eyes to look at him for a moment or a half from the beginning to the end, and she never said much or even exchanged unnecessary greetings. None of them, she has a graceful and noble temperament, even in front of the emperor, she has not lost any nobility.
Emperor Wei looked at her steadily, pursed his lips and said nothing.
In an instant, the entire atmosphere in front of the Shen family's house seemed to have changed drastically. Everyone present was silent at this moment, not daring to express their anger for fear of the emperor's wrath in the future.
Liu Yingying slowly raised her head from the position at the end of the crowd and glanced in the direction of Emperor Wei from a distance. She saw Emperor Wei wearing a black gold dragon robe, wearing a diadem on his head, and the diadem was slightly thin. He was swaying and couldn't see his specific face, but when the golden curtain swayed slightly, he saw a pair of narrow phoenix eyes passing through the gap in the crown curtain.
The look on the phoenix eyes was light, and no specific emotion could be seen, but there was an aura of majesty for no reason.
I don't know if it was Liu Yingying's illusion, but she always felt familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
At this strange and tense moment, in the solemn silence, I suddenly heard the sound of several low horse hoofbeats slowly driving out from behind the magnificent golden chariot.
In front of the Emperor, who dares to sit high on a horse?
Everyone was astonished and subconsciously raised their eyes to look. They saw a black figure riding on the black sweat-blooded horse. Perhaps the morning sun had just risen in the morning and happened to hit that shadow. Behind the figure, the sun was dazzling. It was obvious that the man and the horse were slowly approaching, but no one could see his face clearly.
It was the other party who held the horse rope with one hand and slowly stopped in front of the golden chariot. When he arrived in front of the crowd, everyone covered their hands and saw him clearly. Seeing that the person on the horse is actually Shen Lang, the eldest son of the Shen family who was rumored to have been killed in battle?
Seeing this familiar face in front of them, the originally silent crowd looked at each other in shock, and then suddenly exploded.
Big brother?
Is this person the eldest brother?
Isn’t the eldest brother already killed in the battle?
At present, the tomb of the eldest brother Shen Lang is still neatly placed in the mourning hall, and the coffin of the eldest brother Shen Lang is placed first in the mourning hall. How come he suddenly fell from the sky and came back to life at this moment?
"Big, big brother——"
When Shen Yuechan saw Shen Lang come back from the dead, Leng Buding appeared in front of him, he immediately looked at each other and Mi Ya'er looked at each other. After a moment of confusion, when they came to their senses, they were about to rush over excitedly and happily, but saw this Princess Qinghe, who had always been cold and dignified, raised her hand and stopped Shen Yuechan in front of her. Shen Yuechan was puzzled, but when she raised her eyes and looked at her mother's expressionless face, she turned away again. Looking at the second brother Shen Ye behind her, she saw Shen Ye slightly shaking his head towards her.
Shen Yue was stunned for a moment, then belatedly remembered the loud announcement from the honor guard just now: The Emperor has arrived.
The eldest prince arrived.
So, the person in front of me is not the eldest brother, but... the eldest prince?
But, how come this eldest prince looks exactly like his eldest brother? How could there be such similar people in the world? It's almost carved out of the same mold.
Just when everyone in the Shen family was excited and looking at each other, they saw the man on the horse looking at the faces of everyone in the crowd one by one, passing them one by one, looking at each person. One face, every surviving face, for a long time, his eyes raised, and suddenly he looked across the crowd, looking straight towards the end of the crowd.
At the end of the crowd, Liu Yingying squeezed Wu's hand tightly, raised her head, and looked at the face that had come back from the dead on the horse through the crowd. .
Their eyes met.
For a moment, Liu Yingying's eyes were filled with tears.
She just felt a buzzing in her mind, as if something exploded. When she recovered, she had already rushed into the crowd unconsciously, heading towards that person. Zang rushed over.
At the same time, I saw the majestic figure on the horse suddenly turned over and got off the horse. Before everyone could react, a white figure flashed past in front of them. When they came back to their senses, Then Liu Yingying, dressed in plain mourning clothes, appeared out of nowhere and threw herself firmly into the man's arms.
The world stood still at this moment, as if it had completely stopped rotating.
Liu Yingying felt that her mind was blank.
She didn't know what she was doing, or what the situation was like at this moment. She only knew that her brain seemed to be broken, and she had become sluggish over the past month. He became numb and sluggish, until at this moment, it seemed as if a beam of light poured into his brain, and his brain came to life for no reason.
He is not dead!
Shen Lang is not dead!
Liu Yingying felt her heart sour for a moment and cried with joy.
She didn't know what happened to herself.
She has never been a person who doesn't know etiquette. On the contrary, she has eyes for all directions and ears for all directions.
She knew that the moment she rushed over, her reputation and status would probably collapse.
She knows that in this world, women can throw away anything, but they should hold on to their heart and not throw it away.
But no matter how sober and calm, no matter how steady and steady, at this moment, she just wanted to follow her heart and do what she wanted to do.
Liu Yingying tightly clenched the black robe on Shen Lang's chest, holding it hard, fearing that if she let go again, it would be like those scenes in her dream, which would disappear in an instant.
The warm tears fell into the hard chest bit by bit.
Shen Lang lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and for a long time, suddenly waved his long arm, and the black cloak instantly rose in the wind. The moment it fell, it covered Liu Yingying's back, covering her for an instant. She caught everyone's attention and swallowed her whole body into his arms.
Under the cloak, Shen Lang retracted his long arms and slowly pressed her into his arms.
In the solemn and low atmosphere, the scene in front of me seems to be one of the few tender feelings.
At this moment, the Shen family is no longer the innocent and cheering people it was two months ago. Overnight, their family was broken up, their city was destroyed, and everyone has grown up overnight. .
It seems like the world is falling apart, but everyone has already been able to accept it calmly.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Shen Yuechan subconsciously looked at Mi Ya'er beside her, only to see Mi Ya'er staring at the hemp rope exposed under Shen Lang's cloak.
That was the hemp rope that Liu Yingying wore on her head. Today, like everyone else in the Shen family, she wore a filial piety on her body.
Behind him, Shen Ye slowly withdrew his gaze, and also glanced sideways at Shen Rong's face beside him, only to see the scars on Shen Rong's handsome face, giving this look of Qingyuan City The most beautiful man has a bit of fortitude added to him.
Shen Rong put his hands behind his back and looked away lightly, then suddenly raised his hand and patted Shen Yu's head without any resentment on his face.

Qinfang Courtyard was quiet. After nearly two months, Liu Yingying and others returned to this place again.
It was quiet in the courtyard. In the past, this was the most remote and desolate place in the entire Shen family. But even so, her courtyard was still served by two people, Pinyue and Suoqiu, and there were still people living in the courtyard. Mother Wu was guarding the courtyard, and the east courtyard next door was filled with more than ten people. Now that all the people have dispersed, we know what true desolation is.
The city should have just been taken back three or four days ago. The tombs of all the Shen family members were all collected and completed yesterday, and the funeral ceremony was just held today. At this time, except for those who survived, most of the Shen family members have disappeared. In that catastrophe.
Fate is so bizarre. When she bid farewell to the Shen family two months ago, Liu Yingying never imagined that the Shen family, a wealthy family for hundreds of years, would one day suffer such a disaster. She also never expected that one day she would suffer such a disaster. I am back here again, still in such a fast time.
A long-bright lamp was lit in the west courtyard, but the east courtyard next door was quiet and there was no one else.
Inside Shou'an Hall.
Mrs. Shen couldn't bear such a blow and fell ill. Shen Lang stayed with her until midnight. Mrs. Shen finally woke up from a daze. When she opened her eyes and saw Shen Lang, she was so excited that she kept waving. , holding his hand tightly like a nightmare and saying: "Brother, hold on to my brother——"
Shen Lang immediately took his hand back, grabbed Mrs. Shen's hand tightly, and said, "My grandson is here."
Mrs. Shen suddenly said with tears in her eyes: "It's my grandmother who can't help you. It's my grandmother who can't help you."
"Grandma broke your heart."
Mrs. Shen was talking gibberish, like she was talking in her sleep, or like she was confessing before her death. She kept nagging: "Promise grandma, promise grandma to marry Ya'er, and let grandma see her before she dies." How about it when you get married?"
"Because only if you marry Ya'er, you will become the real Shen family, and you can go home!"
Mrs. Shen burst into tears.
After saying that, seeing that the person opposite did not respond for a long time, Mrs. Shen suddenly coughed violently, and while coughing, she kept waving her hand to grab Shen Lang's hand.
After a long time, I finally heard a deep voice, saying in a low voice: "My grandson promises you."
Chapter 163
After seven days of mourning, the son of the Shen family was buried on this day.
At the time of the burial, the whole city saw him off, dressed in mourning clothes, and the whole old city was covered in white.
After the funeral, the Shen family began to remove the banners and mourning objects, and slowly removed the mourning objects. This year has been full of disasters for the Shen family. This is the second time they have held a funeral, and this time it was too tragic. Even the mourners couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, a long queue formed outside the door of the Shen family's house. They were the servants of the Shen family. It turned out that this was the Shen family's repayment of resettlement allowances to the families of the slaves who suffered this time, and some of them were rescued. The surviving maidservant ran back to the Shen family to continue her struggle for life.
The old house of the Shen family was busy all day long, and it was only after the last group of people dispersed that Shen Lang returned in the dusk.
"The eldest prince, uh... the eldest prince..."
The guards in the mansion were all personal guards transferred from the northwest. When they saw Shen Lang subconsciously addressing each other by their old names, they immediately changed their names in the middle of the greeting, but they all looked hesitant and confused.
It turns out that the eldest son of the Shen family has passed away to the outside world and was even buried in a tomb today. Only the Shen family knew that although the eldest son died, he came back to life as the eldest prince.
The eldest son of the Shen family suddenly transformed into a royal heir and the only bloodline of the emperor Wei Emperor. This incident is so bizarre that the Shen family has not yet been able to give a clear explanation. As for the guards in the mansion, they don't know the specific identity of this person.
Shen Lang glanced at the guard lightly and paused slightly, but neither corrected nor scolded him. He just pondered for a moment and continued to the house without saying a word. He walked until he reached the second gate. Seeing Emperor Wei turning around under the locust tree with his hands behind his back in the Moon Gate Cave, he smiled at Shen Lang and said, "Qing'er, you are back."
After a pause, he added: "It's time to pack up and go back to Beijing."
At this time, dusk fell, and the lanterns were still burning in the house.
