Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng had dinner at Prince Dai's Mansion, and then went to the east wing to see Prince Ning before preparing to return home.
When they went to see Prince Ning, he was still asleep. The little chamberlain who stayed beside him said that since Jin Miaomiao left, His Highness has been asleep and has not woken up yet.
"Is it really okay to sleep for such a long time?" Song Yaojia looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "Don't you need to check with Mr. Jin again?"
"Master Jin said that Chenchen will spend more time sleeping and less time awake during this period."
"What's the point of this?"
Prince Dai looked at the sleeping Prince Ning and then at the confused Song Yaojia. He sighed softly and pulled Wu Qingruo out of the inner room.
"Master Jin told me privately that he has suffered much more in the imperial mausoleum these years than we imagined. He has too many thoughts and too many things on his mind. He is particularly special when he can sleep. few."
"We've heard about this." Shen Cha nodded, "Miao Miao said that His Highness Prince Ning once revealed to her that he basically couldn't sleep every day. When he was sick, it was probably his happiest moment, because as long as he had a fever and passed out If you are sick, you can give your brain a good rest. When you are not sick, you can't even sleep for an hour every day, and you will even be woken up when you fall asleep. The state is very bad. If this situation is relatively short, That’s it, but it lasts for many years, and it would be strange for a person not to be dragged down.”
"That's what happened." Prince Dai glanced inside with a very distressed look, "Master Jin said, it would be fine if Chenchen had strong bones and strong bones, but he is still born with deficiencies. It is not easy to survive until now. of."
"He can sleep peacefully now because the environment and people around him are worthy of his trust. He no longer has to worry about what is and isn't, and he can relax. It seems like he is sleeping more now, but in fact it is just paying off what he owed before. Just make up for it." Wu Qingruo also sighed and waved to everyone, "Go out and talk, don't disturb him."
After walking out of the east wing, a few people chatted for a few more words. Shen Haolin saw that it was getting late and was ready to leave with Shen Cha and Bai Meng.
Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo knew that they had other things to do, so they did not stop them and asked Song Yaojia to send them to the gate of the palace.
"I don't know if these little guys..." Prince Dai looked at the backs of the children and raised his eyebrows at Wu Qingruo, "Whether they can handle it or not, I'm afraid what they have to face will be even more cruel than us. The more the The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous it is and the more severe the test will be for them. Although these children have had experience before, it is still worrying whether they can shoulder such a heavy responsibility."
"There is nothing to worry about. They have already experienced life and death, but they are much stronger than us. Think about it, at their age, we are still stupid and only care about ourselves!" Wu Qingruo dragged him back, "You too Don't worry about it blindly. This is life. If we can't escape, they can't escape either. Unlike us, they seem to accept it well. Unlike us, they resisted for a while and wasted a lot of time."
"I can't worry about anything else now. I'm just worried. The grievances left over from generations are like a knot that can't be solved. I don't know when it will end." Prince Dai yawned. "The so-called father's debt is repaid by the son, and I don't know how long it will take to repay it!"
"Haven't you already seen the light?" Wu Qingruo patted him, "It's pretty good to have come this far. Just be satisfied!"
"Why do these words sound so familiar to me?" Prince Dai tilted his head and glanced at Wu Qingruo, "Brother Huang seemed to have said this back then, and his tone was quite similar." He stopped and stretched out his hand to tug at the Eagle King. Shamelessly, "You won't become my royal brother, will you?"
"Do you mean to insult me and promote your emperor brother? With his irritating character, if he was not your emperor brother, I would not be able to tolerate him for so many years." Wu Qingruo rolled his eyes and grabbed Dai The prince's hand continued to drag him towards the backyard, "But what he said is right. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Our elders cannot decide our life or death, and we can't control those little brats, right?"
Prince Dai didn't say anything until he entered his own yard, then he said quietly, "Let them do whatever they want. Those brats don't play their cards according to the rules. Maybe they can really catch the opponent off guard!"
"That's what I mean!"
While Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo were talking about their juniors, the kids they were talking about were visiting the market.
This is the busiest time in Xijing City. The people in Xijing are delicious and they can come out to have a meal for any reason. Therefore, every restaurant is crowded, and even the small stalls on the roadside are full of people. , full of laughter, just looking at it makes me feel very happy.
"Seeing that they can be like this with no worries or worries, no matter how hard their life is, it's still worth it, right?" Bai Meng looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "What do you two look like?"
"We thought the commander-in-chief couldn't say such pretentious words!" Shen Cha covered his mouth and snickered, "However, the commander-in-chief is right. People can live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't that the meaning of our existence?"
"The general is wise!"
They have not visited the market at this time. Usually, they, especially Bai Meng who has been stationed in Xijing all year round, are usually either patrolling or on duty at this time, or on their way to patrol or duty. It is rare to have such leisure time. , you can stroll around on the street.
The same goes for Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. They are not in Xijing all year round. Every time they come back, they come and go in a hurry. They don't particularly understand what the daily life of the people in Xijing is like.
Therefore, this group of people really felt that everything they saw was new, and it took them a long time to get back to the Duke's Mansion.
However, before they entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion, they heard bursts of screams and cries. Several people followed the sound and saw that the market they just passed by was already in flames.
Bai Meng waved to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and hurried to the market where the accident happened. Shen Cha quickly sent a few shadows to follow them to help.
"What's going on?" Seeing Dai Yi fall in front of him, Shen Cha frowned, "Where did you come from?"
"I went home to see the old man and passed by the water channel." Dai Yi wiped the sweat from his face. "This was an accident. A few children didn't know what happened. They were chasing and fighting on the street. , the adults in the family didn't care, and as a result, I accidentally knocked over the oil pan at a roadside stall, and then..." He spread his hands, "I took it upon myself to send a message to my father, asking my family to help put out the fire. ”
"Well done!" Shen Haolin patted Dai Yi, "Go to the back and pass the order. Please sort out the things we brought, especially the medicinal materials, and send them to the commander-in-chief quickly."
"Yes!" Dai Yi responded, walked towards the mansion, took two steps and then stepped back, "Don't you, the Duke and the General, go and take a look?"
"It's not too late to leave after the commander-in-chief has stabilized the situation." Shen Cha nodded towards him, "Hurry up and get to work. Thank you for your hard work!"
"yes!"
After watching Dai Yi leave, Shen Cha looked in the direction of the market they had just passed. She believed that Bai Meng would be able to take control of the situation soon.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I have an uneasy feeling. I don't know if I am unfounded. I feel that the fire was not a real accident."
