Xiao Langyan's expression changed, and his tone became colder: "I don't mean that, but the grievances of the Shen family need time to plan. This matter involves the intricate relationships during the late emperor's reign. If I want to thoroughly investigate and settle them one by one, , I said, I want you to wait patiently and give me time!"
At the end of his words, he stood up abruptly, his brows were stern, his thin eyes were dark, and the angry eyes of the dragon on the dragon sleeves swinging in his hand were very much like the sparks gradually rising in Xiao Langyan's eyes.
The two were about to argue again over the same thing.
However, at this moment, without any warning, a drop of hot tears fell from Shen Dingzhu's beautiful face, which was slightly raised.
Because she thought that in her previous life, she had redressed the grievances of the Shen family, but now, it was difficult to achieve innocence.
Seeing the little bit of sadness in Shen Dingzhu's eyes, and because of the drop of tears sliding down her pink face, Xiao Langyan was startled, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated, turning into a faint smoke, tightly clinging to her. He cares.
Xiao Langyan sighed, turned around and bent down, gently wiping away Shen Dingzhu's tears with her big palm. However, she turned sideways with Xiao Langyan and wiped away the tears herself, looking at the golden crow falling outside with her beautiful red eyes. At the bottom of the mountain, the sky was dim and blue.
Xiao Langyan took a deep breath, straightened her shoulders, and forced the two of them to look at each other. His voice was deep and patient: "I will definitely do what I promise you. To vindicate the Shen family, we not only need evidence, but also time." , I have already placed disciples from poor families in the court. Sooner or later, these people will be able to turn into sharp swords and compete with the aristocratic family. Among them are your father's former disciples, who can contribute to redressing the Shen family's grievances in the future."
"As for your grandfather, since you don't like him, I will reuse him as appropriate, giving him power but not delegating power to him. When the children grow up and your eldest and second brothers have made achievements in the court, I will not Do you think it’s okay to release your grandfather back to his ancestral home and allow him to enjoy his old age?”
Shen Dingzhu looked at him with wet eyes, with a dazed look on his face. Because he had just cried, his face looked even more pink and white, like a white peony after the rain and dew, showing a different kind of beauty.
"The emperor did not lie to his concubines?" Her voice was hoarse, with a slight nasal sound.
Xiao Langyan smiled: "I won't lie to you."
As he said that, he sat down next to her: "I have also made arrangements to send you out of the palace tomorrow to visit your parents and Chengcheng in the Shen Mansion. However, you can only go there for one day, and you have to go quietly without making a big fanfare. Are you willing?"
Shen Dingzhu's eyes lit up, how could she not want to!
"Yes, I am willing."
At night, the two slept in each other's arms.
Shen Dingzhu was sleeping in Xiao Langyan's arms. He hugged her from behind and placed his big palm on her belly. The two of them breathed evenly.
In the middle of the night, Shen Dingzhu was awakened by the sound of rain hitting the banana trees outside. She opened her eyes drowsily, and with only a slight movement, Xiao Langyan half-opened his thin eyes as if aware of it.
"Did you wake up?" His voice was hoarse as if he had not yet woken up. Xiao Langyan turned Shen Dingzhu over and faced him, "Tomorrow I will ask Xu Shou to prune the banana tree outside your window. "
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently placed it on Shen Dingzhu's ear. The other hand touched her bulging belly soothingly. Xiao Langyan closed his eyes: "Go to sleep, I'm here."
Soon, his steady breathing was heard, accompanied by a strong heartbeat. Shen Dingzhu leaned in his arms and felt extremely at ease.
I don't know when she started to rely on Xiao Langyan.
If... he really fulfills his promise to her, then there is nothing wrong with trying to love him properly.
Early the next morning, Shen Dingzhu changed his clothes, secretly took a low-key carriage, and returned to Shen's Mansion accompanied by dozens of civilian soldiers.
The family was enjoying themselves happily, and Father Shen always maintained a calm attitude. Even when faced with a carriage of precious medicinal materials and brocade cloth given by Xiao Langyan, Father Shen's expression never changed.
On the contrary, when he saw that Shen Dingzhu's belly was getting older, Shen's father's eyes revealed the unbearable and distressed feeling that belongs only to his father.
The mansion had just been assigned a few servants not long ago. At this time, the sister-in-law was preparing lunch. The family members were very happy to see Shen Dingzhu back. Only Su Xincheng ran to Shen Dingzhu and saw her bulging belly. , and retreated cowardly.
Those big, watery eyes looked at her mother, but she didn't dare to get close to her.
Shen Dingzhu opened his arms: "Chengcheng, come here, let mother hug you."
Su Xincheng walked over with cautious steps and only hugged one of Shen Dingzhu's arms. She raised her head, her big eyes looked like Shen Dingzhu's: "Mother, my cousin said, you are pregnant with My brother is daddy’s golden egg, so he is very precious. I can’t go into your arms like before. What if the golden egg is smashed?”
Hearing this, Shen Dingzhu couldn't help laughing and rubbed the little guy's head: "Chengcheng's cute thoughts are getting more and more. What's in my mother's belly is not an egg, but a baby. Although he is very small, he is She is very strong, I am also Chengcheng’s mother, I won’t have another child, and I will never love Chengcheng or hold Chengcheng again.”
As she spoke, she took the initiative to hug her daughter, coveting the scent of the child's milk. The longing for her mother was relieved at this moment.
Soon, soon, in half a month, Chengcheng will be recognized back in the palace!
Then there will be no need to meet in secret like this.
Su Xincheng suddenly became happy, and her cheerful voice was as sweet as a lark. She looked behind Shen Dingzhu several times: "Mother, daddy didn't come this time, are you too busy?"
Shen Dingzhu's eyebrows were curved, and her gorgeous dress highlighted her unparalleled beauty: "Yes, but there are gifts sent by your father to prepare for you on the carriage, and there is also a share from your cousin. Chengcheng takes it. Let’s watch it with my cousin.”
Su Xincheng happily agreed, and Shen Dingzhu had lunch with his family. After lunch, he finally had the opportunity to be alone with Shen's father. Shen Dingzhu quickly asked about the second son of Beiliang Kingdom.
Father Shen frowned and recalled: "I don't remember such a person. When the house was ransacked, all kinds of things suspected to be enemy tokens were dug out and reported to the emperor. If there were any, they would have been discovered long ago."
Shen Dingzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "It is indeed a slander. I have known it for a long time. If outsiders' things were collected in the house, how could my father not find out?"
Suddenly, Father Shen lowered his voice and asked, "Did you keep the secret order that my father gave to Zhuzhu before he was exiled?"
Shen Dingzhu nodded. In the quiet room, light and dust were flying, and the beauty's eyes were as calm as a pool of water.
"The father told me that the daughter dare not forget it. It is now placed in a safe place. However, the father said that one day when the wise emperor ascends the throne, the thing can be handed over to him. Now the emperor is working hard in the government. Can the daughter take out this thing? ?”
Father Shen was silent for a moment, standing in front of the treasure rack in the room with his hands behind his back. His white hair on the temples showed how old he was. After a while, Father Shen shook his head.
"Wait a minute, this thing is valuable. If the emperor doesn't ask, you don't need to mention it. My daughter, this thing can save your life at a critical moment."
This sentence has a profound meaning. When Shen Dingzhu was on her way back to the palace, she still had the secret order. Is it related to the Xuanjia Army that various forces have been looking for?
Sudden! The carriage stopped suddenly before passing a narrow bridge.
Shen Dingzhu's body swayed, his thoughts retracted, he gently lifted a corner of the curtain, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
The deputy commander of the Forbidden Army and the others were riding brown horses, following behind and around the carriage. At this time, they rode their horses to Shen Dingzhu's window and lowered their voices and reported back: "There is a person who has fainted on the narrow bridge ahead. Please don't get off the carriage, my humble position has already passed." Send someone to check."
