After hearing what he said, Shen Dingzhu's black eyes were stunned for a moment, and she was lost in thought.
She wanted to argue a few more words, but suddenly, her head felt dizzy and tingling, and her temples beat like drums. She bit her lower lip until she tasted the blood foam, and finally she regained consciousness.
Under the surrounding lamps and candles, the beauty has a thin figure, and her face is as pale as a white peony that has just bloomed, and she is about to cry.
"My lord, is there really no chance?" Shen Dingzhu looked at Xiao Langyan, hoping to get a different answer from him.
However, Xiao Langyan shook his head, and some emotion flashed through his thin eyes, but it was so fast that people couldn't catch it.
"You don't need to be too sad. There will be other solutions for Mrs. Shen's return to Beijing in the future." After saying that, he turned around and said to Chen Heng, "Send Aunt Shen back to the palace."
Shen Dingzhu returned to Yuzhang Palace in vain, and Shen Bi and Chunxi hurriedly greeted him.
"Master, is it done?" Shen Bi asked impatiently.
However, Shen Dingzhu looked tired and defeated, and she was in a daze. Seeing this, Chunxi directly tugged on Shen Bi's sleeve and signaled her to stop asking.
Shen Dingzhu was helped into the house by two people. Xiucui had already brought hot tea: "Master, calming tea."
Shen Dingzhu raised his head and glanced at Xiucui, then revealed a sad and bitter smile.
"No matter how hard I tried, I still had an accident." She held the tea cup with her slender fingertips, but it didn't feel hot at all.
Until Shen Bi exclaimed: "Master, be careful with your hands!" She stepped forward and grabbed Shen Dingzhu's wrist, pulled it open and saw that the tips of her fingers were already covered in red burns.
Chunxi hurriedly went to get the burn ointment, but when they turned back, Shen Dingzhu had already passed out on the table.
The people of Yuzhang Palace were on their backs, and it was not until early the next morning that Doctor Zhang left with the medicine box.
Xiao Langyan was busy all night without closing his eyes. He returned to Yuzhang Palace in Chenshi and learned that Shen Dingzhu had fainted due to exhaustion. He paused and after a while, turned to the side hall.
Inside the house, the beauty was sleeping uneasily in a bed tent under layers of curtains, muttering something in her sleep.
As soon as Xiao Langyan walked to the couch, he heard her soft crying voice, with countless grievances: "Xiao Langyan..."
He was startled, his long eyebrows slightly raised, staring at Shen Dingzhu's sleeping face.
Did she know he was coming?
However, the next second, Shen Dingzhu was still begging him in his dream: "Save my parents..."
The darkness in Xiao Langyan's thin eyes suddenly stirred up a commotion.
He looked at the blue eyes and tear stains under her eyes with a faint look.
According to Shen Bi, Shen Dingzhu has not slept well for several days in order to prepare for the flying dragon in the sky.
Xiao Langyan knew why she persisted.
His eyes darkened.
Shen Dingzhu didn't get up until the next morning. Compared with the day before, her mood was finally much calmer.
Shen Bi came in with a medicinal soup to replenish energy and health, and looked at Shen Dingzhu's pretty face as white as snow, which made people feel heartbroken and loving.
She couldn't help but say something that would make Shen Dingzhu happy.
"Master, you still don't know that Qing He has been executed."
"Ms. Su was pregnant and filed a complaint with the Queen, saying that Qing He wanted to seduce His Highness the Crown Prince. In order to settle the matter, she was sentenced to death."
Shen Dingzhu was leaning against the table, holding chopsticks with his slender white fingers, holding a piece of green vegetables.
But she didn't eat it, she just put it in the bowl silently, lowered her eyes and said, "Really?"
Other than that, he said nothing else, as if he didn't care at all.
Seeing this, Shen Bi thought for a moment and then said, "Ms. Su has been married to the crown prince's concubine by the emperor. She will be welcomed into the East Palace in the second month after the eldest daughter of the Fu family marries into the crown prince's palace."
Calculating the time, it happened to be the time when Su Wenhua was about to give birth to a child.
Shen Dingzhu simply put down his chopsticks this time, as if he had completely lost his appetite.
Shen Bi was troubled, knowing that what she said did not make Shen Dingzhu happy at all, so she thought hard.
finally!
Her eyes lit up: "Master, the prince said that considering your poor health, he allows you to return to the palace for two days to rest before entering the palace."
At this point, Shen Bi lowered her voice: "I heard from Eunuch Xu Shou that I want to bring your sister-in-law to the palace to be with you."
Shen Dingzhu suddenly raised his beautiful eyes, and finally there was a little light in his eyes: "Really? The prince really said that?"
"It's true. The prince personally told Eunuch Xu Shou before he left last time. He also said that as long as Master, you are in better health, you can let Eunuch Xu Shou make arrangements."
Shen Bi said, "But the master doesn't even want to eat now..."
Shen Dingzhu quickly picked up the chopsticks again: "I was just about to eat, Shen Bi. When Eunuch Xu Shou comes back in the evening, you can tell him that I am almost fine and ask him to arrange for me to go back to the house tomorrow to visit my sister-in-law."
Seeing that she was happy, Shen Bi was also happy in her heart: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely convey this to you and ask you to eat more."
While waiting for Xu Shou to arrive, Shen Dingzhu learned a little bit about the aftermath of that night's horse crashing into the flying dragon diagram from Chun Xi's mouth.
It turned out that a stable attendant did not tie up the horse, so the horse ran nearby and was frightened by the sudden fire.
Shen Dingzhu's hard work was ruined by accident.
The beast couldn't speak human words, and he couldn't make up for her losses.
Shen Dingzhu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed quietly.
Chunxi added: "But Qin Tianjian has seen the celestial phenomena for the emperor, and everyone in the palace is spreading the news..."
When she said this, Chunxi looked around, fearing that someone would overhear her.
He covered his lips with his hands and whispered: "It is said that the emperor was sentenced to horse punishment this year, and anything related to horses must be dealt with properly! Because of this matter, the prince was so busy that even the Yuzhang Palace was Rarely.”
Chunxi was attentive. He wanted to comfort Shen Dingzhu and explain why Xiao Langyan didn't come back to visit her.
However, Shen Dingzhu had no intention of paying attention and only smiled bitterly in his heart.
Not only was the emperor at odds with the horse, but she was too.
The emperor connives with Ma Shangshu to frame and slander the Shen family. Now the chance she finally got to rescue her mother has been destroyed by a crazy horse.
Thinking of this, Shen Dingzhu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
She sensed something was wrong.
Why did the horse appear so coincidentally on the day of the birthday party?
Qin Tianjian is responsible for surveying the stars. Even if he sees that the emperor is in conflict with Ma Fou, it stands to reason that he will not tell others in a big way.
If even a young eunuch like Chunxi knew about it, it meant that someone deliberately let the news out.
Could it be that the person behind the scenes did this because he wanted to deal with Ma Shangshu?
The situation in the court was complicated, and her head was swollen thinking about it.
Shen Dingzhu put these chaotic thoughts behind for the time being and concentrated on waiting to go home to talk to her sister-in-law. Now she was in urgent need of the comfort of her relatives.
She had to hold all these things that she couldn't keep in her hands to feel safe.
The next day, Shen Dingzhu took a carriage from Prince Ning's Mansion and drove out from the side entrance of the palace.
On the star-catching platform in the distance, Xiao Langyan was wearing a hunting purple and gold python robe, standing with his hands behind his hands, his thin eyes darkened, following the carriage until it was out of sight.
Chen Heng said behind him: "Your Majesty, will you bring Aunt Shen back in two days?"
Xiao Langyan was silent. After a long while, he said: "She misses her family so much, so just allow her to stay for a few more days. After five days, you ask Xu Shou to go back and pick her up."
"yes."
Suddenly, Xiao Langyan said again: "Send someone to follow her and see who will come into contact with her in the past few days."
