The people in the palace knelt down and shouted to the Holy One to calm down. Xiao Langyan lowered his cold eyebrows and looked unpredictable.
Prince Xiao Xuanke frowned, cupped his hands and said, "Father, it is true that the Shen family is guilty, but Second Young Master Shen has participated in three water conservancy projects in our dynasty, and was the proud disciple of the former Minister of Industry. He..."
"Shut up," the emperor held onto the edge of the bed, breathing heavily like an endangered old dragon, "get out of here."
Xiao Xuanke was stunned for a moment, and then the emperor shouted and urged him: "Get out!"
In this way, Xiao Xuanke glanced at Xiao Langyan unwillingly and turned to leave.
After he left, the emperor stared at Xiao Langyan with a gloomy gaze: "Lao Wu, do you think so too?"
Xiao Langyan lowered his clear eyes and said, "I think it is not important who built the water conservancy project. What is important is that the dams in Jidu can be repaired so that the people of our dynasty can be protected for generations to come. .”
"It's just that the people have already heard about Shen Er's flood control. At this time, many people are looking forward to his intervention. Sometimes it can stabilize people's hearts more than stabilize water conditions."
The emperor's complexion gradually improved, and after a while, he slowly breathed out: "You should personally explain this matter. Remember, water conservancy construction must be done well, but I don't want Shen Er to turn around."
A cold look flashed across Xiao Langyan's eyes, and he cupped his hands: "My son, I understand."
After noon, Xiao Langyan came out from Qinzheng Palace and was about to return to Yuzhang Palace to rest for a while.
Chen Heng hesitated to speak and moved forward.
Xiao Langyan glanced at him: "If you have anything to do, tell me."
Chen Heng said hesitantly: "Eunuch Xu just sent someone to deliver the message. Aunt Shen wants to see you."
Xiao Langyan's ice-cold face finally had a crack, but there was a playful sneer on his thin lips.
"She couldn't help herself." Knowing this, could her second brother help?
Shen Dingzhu is like this. When she needs him, she will do everything to please him. When she doesn't need him, she will kill him even if he touches her.
Xiao Langyan strode towards the Qinzheng Hall. Chen Heng chased after him and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you see my aunt?"
"No, you go back and tell her that I won't be free."
Shen Dingzhu waited for two hours, but did not wait for Xiao Langyan. Instead, he waited for Xu Shou.
"Aunt Shen, Your Majesty is busy with business, please rest by yourself."
Shen Dingzhu was stunned. She could guess that Xiao Langyan would not want to see her if she angered her.
She quickly called to Eunuch Xu Shou and handed over the two keys.
"There is a flood in Jidu, the price of food has increased, and the victims have nothing to eat. I happened to stock up some rice and noodles before and stored them in Zhuangzi. The prince knows where they are and can send people to get them to provide disaster relief in the name of Prince Ning's Mansion."
"I originally wanted to hand it over to the prince myself, but now I can only ask my father-in-law to do it for me."
After Shen Dingzhu finished speaking, Xu Shou looked at the key in her hand and thought for a while before taking it.
He said in a calm tone: "Aunt Shen, the Za family thinks you don't look stupid, but why don't you understand that the prince is God? You have offended God, and it will be difficult to please him."
After saying that, Xu Shou left with his hands behind his back.
Shen Dingzhu kept a decent smile until he left, and then the corners of his lips gradually pursed.
She hoped that Xiao Langyan thought the same way and thought that what she was doing now was because she knew she was wrong and was trying to please him.
As the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet approached, Shen Dingzhu caught a cold.
Ever since she tested medicine for the emperor, her body has become increasingly fragile and she will fall ill if she is not careful.
"Ahem." Shen Dingzhu covered her heart, with a sickly pale face, while Shen Bi was busy making medicine for her.
Shen Bi returned to the house, stamped her feet and scolded the servants in the palace.
"They are all little people who follow the wind. Seeing that the master has fallen out of favor, they will not let the slaves go into the kitchen to brew medicine. Mother Li used to please the master, but now she is not polite."
Shen Dingzhu didn't mind, and just painted some pictures of flowers and birds to relieve his boredom.
Guiqin came in with a bag of candied fruits: "Auntie, I was afraid that the medicine would be bitter for you, so I brought it here specially for you."
Everyone in the mansion knows Shen Dingzhu's habits.
"Thank you." Shen Dingzhu looked back, his frail face looking soft and graceful.
Guiqin couldn't help but said: "Slave, please go outside and help Miss Shen Bi see how the medicine is doing."
After drinking the medicine, Shen Dingzhu asked Shen Bi to change her clothes.
Shen Bi asked: "Master, are you going out?"
Shen Dingzhu put a little rouge on her lips, but her face still looked pale.
"I'm not used to being bored in the house all the time." She wanted to go out and see which way out of the city was closest to Shangguan Road.
So, Shen Dingzhu took Shen Bi out. She stopped the carriage at the entrance of the market and took Shen Bi for a walk on the street.
Until Shen Dingzhu calmly approached the city gate, looking at the gate guards from the corner of his eye, checking the carriages and people leaving the city one by one.
Shen Dingzhu frowned.
It seemed that leaving Beijing was not as easy as she thought.
At this moment, a sharp cry came from beside him: "Shen Dingzhu? It's really you. It's really unlucky today. I saw you as an unlucky fox as soon as I went out!"
Shen Dingzhu turned around and saw Fu Yunzhi and his maid, who had just come out of the teahouse. He stared at her with such poisonous eyes, as if he wanted to tear Shen Dingzhu apart.
Fu Yunzhi gritted his teeth: "You are so shameless. You followed Prince Ning and seduced General Zhou. Now that my marriage with the Zhou family has fallen through, are you satisfied?"
Shen Dingzhu spoke lightly and coughed twice weakly: "As long as the family scandal is not publicized, it is better for Miss Fu San to keep her voice low."
"You!" Fu Yunzhi was furious and stepped forward to teach Shen Dingzhu a lesson.
However, before her raised palm landed on Shen Dingzhu's face, someone next to her shouted: "Stop!"
A young woman, wearing a crescent blue dress, came with four maids.
She has an oval face, red phoenix eyes, and a majestic demeanor, quite like a legitimate daughter.
She looked at Fu Yunzhi: "Miss Fu's behavior is like this. If word gets out, I don't know what others will think of the Fu family. It's just that your own marriage has fallen through. If the marriage of Miss Fu and the prince is also in trouble, you can't Unable to take responsibility.”
Fu Yunzhi's face turned pale and he glanced at Shen Dingzhu unwillingly: "We'll see."
She turned and left.
Shen Dingzhu looked at the woman who came to her rescue, and her expression became even more indifferent.
"Thank you, Miss Ma."
Ma Xuewei raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Dingzhu, taking in her stunning beauty. It was undeniable that Shen Dingzhu had a beautiful figure and a bulging chest. She was a beauty at first glance.
However, she wants to be a real wife and will never argue with a concubine.
"You don't need to thank me. The Fu family marries the crown prince, and I marry Prince Ning. We can't afford conflicts now, and there will be disputes in the future. I can only help myself."
"However," Ma Xuewei's eyes were a little sharp, "Since Aunt Shen is a concubine, why can she freely enter and leave the mansion and dress so ostentatiously? If you do this, you will only cause trouble for the prince."
Shen Dingzhu frowned secretly.
Did she start acting like a princess and scolding her concubines before she married into Prince Ning's palace?
