Shen Haolin took a relaxing hot bath and came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. He opened the door and entered the bedroom next to him. After entering, he waved to Merlin who saluted him and walked to the desk where he was sitting blankly. Next to Shen Cha in front of him.
"What are you thinking about?" He tied up his half-dried hair casually, stretched out his hand to hold the person in his arms.
"nothing."
"You looked like this when you came back from Villa. Just now Mei Zhu told me that when you were taking a bath, you almost fell because you were distracted."
Shen Cha rested his head on Shen Haolin's shoulder, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed softly.
"I just feel that people's words are terrifying again. Even if you are a high-ranking emperor, there is no good way to avoid this perfectly."
"The emperor is also a human being, and the court is a gathering place for people. Wherever there are people, there will be all kinds of comments. What the courtiers like to talk about most is the person on the throne and the people who have a close relationship with him."
"Even if they are their own enemies?"
"Yes, even enemies are what the courtiers are keen to talk about. They not only talk about it, but also imagine it in their wild imagination, and most of the rumors circulating in the market are the stuff of their wild imagination."
"The scary thing is this. Over time, most people can't tell what is real and what is imagination." Shen Cha curled his lips helplessly, "However, most of the tragedies in the world originate from this, right? "
"Yes, although Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong were also imagined, their endings were still good. Although they could not avoid the rumors, they also found ways to resolve them. Compared to..." Shen Hao Lin thought of Mrs. Xue Hou and sighed quietly, "It is much better to be judged, maliciously speculated, and slandered by others in this world."
"But..." Shen Cha opened his eyes to look at Shen Haolin, then closed his eyes again, "I also thought of this. Even emperors and powerful princes cannot completely avoid this situation. Look, There is even less choice for the glamorous ministers and their families. In the end, there is no other way out except death."
"It turns out that today's unhappiness is all the same!" Shen Haolin chuckled and rubbed Shen Cha's head, "We are in this position, there is no way to prevent others from pointing fingers at us, we have never From the moment we are born, we are destined to become the talk of ordinary people after dinner, right? As long as our hearts are strong enough, believe in each other, and ignore those nonsense remarks, it will not become a problem for us. "
"But……"
"I know what you are going to say, Aunt Xue..." He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Well, we all know her well. She is an extremely strong person, so those rumors can't do anything to her."
"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded silently, "She died willingly." She opened her eyes and looked at the information copied from the other clothes on the table, "It was not just to protect the Song family and the Wuding Marquis Mansion. , also to protect us.”
"In order for us not to get involved in this inexplicable fight." Shen Haolin smiled bitterly, "It's really inexplicable. We don't even know who our opponent is."
"At first I thought it was Wan Yanping, and she brought out the Tantai family, Heijiaying, and Mrs. Teng, and then she was inexplicably involved in a series of people and events from the previous dynasty. But now it seems that these people may not even be together. Not even the pawns, they were all swept in by the whirlpool that came from nowhere. Even they themselves don't know..." Shen Cha suddenly stopped at this point, "Brother, I remembered something. .”
"Yelurtu's condition is similar to that of Emperor Chongde."
"Yes!" Shen Cha raised his head slightly, glanced at Shen Haolin, and leaned back, "You remember, I once told you that the uncle studied carefully before taking over Yelv Ertu as his exclusive personal doctor. Check out Yelvertu’s medical records.”
"Remember." Shen Haolin nodded, "My uncle told you that Yelvertu's illness is actually not as optimistic as imagined. It has worsened for a while and has reached the stage of unconsciousness and preparation for the funeral. But no Knowing why, he suddenly improved within a few days, which not only surprised him, but also the Imperial Hospital of Liao State, who all thought this was impossible."
"That's right." Shen Cha took a deep breath and carelessly rubbed Shen Haolin's shoulder twice, "Uncle said that he had asked about Yelu Ertu and also asked the two brothers of the Yelu family. Brother Yelu He really didn’t know anything about it, but Yelvertu avoided talking about it.”
"Avoid talking about it?"
"Well, I just said that it is a life-saving pill left by our ancestors. Taking it at a critical moment will save his life. Apart from that, I will not say a word more. The uncle asked Yelvertu's close servants, They all kept silent. They had obviously been warned not to talk nonsense." Shen Cha sighed, "However, just a month after the uncle asked them, these chamberlains came out one by one without any reason. , disappeared without a trace. What Yelv Ertu did was so obvious that even the Yelu brothers thought that their father and uncle had silenced those who knew about it."
"If he doesn't have any evil intentions in his heart, why go to such trouble to silence him? If it is really a medicine passed down from our ancestors, and he has taken it, there is no use hiding it from the doctor. Is it possible that the uncle can force him to take the medicine? Spit it out?"
"What brother is saying is that Yelvertu's behavior proves more and more that the origin of this medicine is unknown." Shen Cha sneered, "Speaking of which, the effect of this medicine lasts longer than the one taken by Emperor Chongde. One point. When I was in Linhuang Mansion, his condition was already not good, and he was as skinny as a stick. Although he seemed to be in good spirits, he was already at the end of his strength. The uncle counted the time, and it was the last time since he was seriously ill. , almost seven years have passed.”
"It does last longer than Emperor Chongde. In other words, the people behind the scenes have improved the medicine."
"It's also possible that Emperor Chongde made them discover another use for this medicine." Shen Cha snorted, "Anyway, this time, the Yelu family shouldn't think about staying out of the matter." We are so excited. They are also inextricably connected with the person behind the scenes, and there is no way they can do it alone! "
"Well, especially Yelv Ertu doesn't have much life left. If the uncle proves that it was caused by this medicine, it will be a blood feud!" Shen Haolin lowered his head and kissed the top of Shen Cha's hair, "I want to give it to Yelu Brother, or uncle, do you want to write a letter?"
"The letter must be written. After we read these and have a basic idea, we can tell them." Shen Cha pinched Shen Haolin's hanging locks and chuckled, "What are you doing tonight?" Don’t do anything, just have a good sleep, and start entering the memories of Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong tomorrow to see their legendary lives.”
