Ji Ting was about to sit up subconsciously, but was pushed back on the quilt with a big wave of his hand. She quickly grabbed the collar and looked at him with a reddish face: "You, you, let go, presumptuous! Can't help you?!"
"Your Highness, keep your voice down, and don't let the maids outside listen too much." Shen Tuchuan closed his eyes, and put his hand on her arm, seemingly useless, but as long as she moved to leave, he would immediately press her return.
Ji Ting snorted softly, and then remembered to explain: "Mr. Shentu seems to have been hallucinating in the other courtyard for the past few days. He actually said such rebellious words. He is really ill. I clearly recruited you last night. How could a newcomer wait on you..." Haunting you.
Forgive her for being an old driver all her life, but she can't say the last three words.
Hearing the word 'newcomer', Shen Tuchuan frowned, and opened his eyes to look at her again: "Does your Highness know the name of the newcomer? So you said you hired him to serve?"
"..." She really didn't know, but she could make it up, "Wang Fugui." That guy had the audacity to drug himself, and he was probably completely cold by now. He was just a dead person, and she could name him whatever she wanted. name.
Shen Tuchuan was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Your Highness is really funny."
"...Who is funny with you, I am serious." Ji Ting was speechless, and found that this person seemed to have suddenly changed his personality after last night.
After Shen Tuchuan laughed, there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes that even he could hardly detect: "Your Highness."
"Um?"
"Is it possible, Your Highness, to take care of one person?" He asked softly.
Ji Ting and him looked at each other for a long while before they understood what he meant. He was a little embarrassed at the moment: "I...Mr. I can't take it easy, let alone for others... "
She figured it out, Mu and his plan to deal with the aftermath had completely failed, this man was very clear that what happened yesterday was not a dream, and because he was his first woman, he developed a chick complex at this time.
This is not acceptable.
Shen Tuchuan heard what she meant, and was not surprised, but felt empty in his heart. As early as the first time she met him in Fengyue Tower, she had already told him that she saved herself only for the sake of her father, and she had no affection for herself. The remarks about her being infatuated with him over the years were all nonsense .
She had said it a long time ago, but he never gave up. He always felt that she had taken a fancy to him in the early years, so he felt that he might be a little different in her heart.
"Then... is it possible, Your Highness, to make room for one more place in my heart and keep it for only one person for a long time?" Shen Tuchuan's voice was a little hoarse. He didn't know why he asked this question, but he knew clearly that as long as She nodded, and she was willing to be confined to the square inch of her backyard, and.
"Mr. Shentu," Ji Ting couldn't help but sighed, "Fate can't be forced."
"Did His Highness ask less?" Shen Tuchuan asked.
Ji Ting laughed: "So this is a failure."
"… No."
"Um?"
"No failure."
"..." Ji Ting didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of silence, he pretended nothing happened and turned over, lying on his side with his back to him, pretending to be relaxed, "It's getting late, I'm so tired, so I'm going Don't chat with Mr. Shentu anymore, Mr. Shentu is free."
After finishing speaking, he deliberately ignored the slightly aggressive gaze on his back, and gradually fell asleep on a soft pillow.
Shen Tuchuan stared at her slender back quietly, and wanted to drag her over and hug her several times, but in the end he just smiled bitterly, and then closed his eyes.
The two of them were too absurd last night, and they didn't have a good rest today, they were already exhausted to the extreme, this sleep soon fell into a deep and sound sleep, and they didn't even have a dream.
It wasn't until dawn that Ji Ting woke up in a daze. Not long after regaining her consciousness, she turned over lazily with her eyes closed, and just rolled into a firm embrace. She was dull for a moment, then opened her eyes in a daze, and met Shen Tuchuan's bright and moon-like pupils unexpectedly.
"..."
"Morning, Your Highness."
Shen Tuchuan's voice still had the low voice when he first woke up, like mellow spirits, but he was a little drunk just getting close. Ji Ting got goosebumps from his own description, and hurriedly got out of his arms, and nodded with a sneer: "Good morning."
Seeing her resisting him so much, Shen Tuchuan's eyes became clearer, he pursed his lips and sat up and said, "It's getting late, Your Highness, wash up and let's go greet the emperor."
"...Okay." Ji Ting smiled dryly, and called the palace maid to come in and serve her.
While she was dressing, Shen Tuchuan quickly changed her clothes, stood behind and stared at her, Ji Ting could clearly see his face in the bronze mirror.
…the pressure is too great to send people away as soon as possible.
When she finished changing her clothes, the sun was already high and the emperor was going down, so she took Shen Tuchuan to pay her respects.
Before reaching the main hall, she heard the emperor's roar. She froze for a moment, exchanged a glance with Shen Tuchuan, left him outside, and went in by herself.
"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Ji Ting frowned and saluted.
When Shen Tuchuan saw her, his expression was weird for a moment, and then he turned his face away as if evading: "The barbarians have started to be dishonest these days, and there have been three incidents of looting the Tianqi Chengyu Pass. If I don't teach them some lessons, they will I am afraid that one day we will attack Tianqi."
Isn't Chengyuguan the place where Shen Tuchuan's parents are? Ji Ting had a bad premonition, but seeing that the emperor didn't mention it, he felt that he was thinking too much.
She slowly walked to the emperor's side: "Their plunder is nothing more than a temptation, the emperor must not let it go, let them know how powerful they are, so they will not dare to be presumptuous in the future."
"I think so too, so I'm going to conquest in person," the emperor paused after speaking, a little annoyed, "But there is no one in the court, and I can't leave easily."
... You deserve it, who told you to fire Prime Minister Shentu.
Ji Ting smiled softly: "If the emperor trusts the minister, how about I go to fight for the emperor?" It happened that Shen Tuchuan could also be sent there along the way.
"Sister Huang has worked so hard for the apocalypse for so many years, how can I have the heart to let you go to war and suffer, or I should think of a way... Where is Shen Tuchuan?" the emperor asked suddenly.
Ji Ting thumped in his heart, and replied innocently: "He's waiting outside, why did the emperor suddenly ask him?"
The emperor looked unnatural for a moment, then waved his hands and said: "Go back first, I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with you today."
... This means taking away the military power and being reluctant to return it, Ji Ting sneered in his heart, and his face became more gentle: "The emperor must not get angry, be careful, and I will leave first."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out. Seeing that Shen Tuchuan was still waiting for him, he called him to leave.
"Not staying in the palace for dinner?" Shen Tuchuan asked with a frown.
Ji Ting sighed, lowered his voice and said: "Chengyu Pass said that there are barbarians making trouble, the emperor is not in a good mood, so let's go first."
Shen Tuchuan was taken aback for a moment, and his face turned serious in vain: "That's not..."
"When I sent someone to deliver Prime Minister Shentu, I left a few guards for him. All of them were very skilled. There should be news a few days earlier."
Even so, the emperor's unnatural expression just now made Ji Ting a little concerned.
"...Thank you princess for your trouble." Shen Tuchuan relaxed slightly, but his heart was still uneasy.
Ji Ting glanced at him: "If you are really worried, pack your bags and go there today, so that you can reunite with your parents as soon as possible."
"... yes." Shen Tuchuan took a deep look at her, wanted to say something but didn't say it. Forget it, let's protect our parents first, let's talk about the matter between them later.
Ji Ting took a look at him, sighed in his heart, and led him all the way back to the princess mansion without a word.
"Let's have dinner together first. After you finish your meal, you can clean up. I'll ask someone to escort you away later." Ji Ting said slowly.
Shen Tuchuan nodded, got out of the carriage first and helped her down. As soon as he entered the door, Fuyun ran over, pulled Ji Ting's sleeve and walked into the garden: "Your Highness, you are back, Fuyun is waiting for you It’s been a day, and it’s almost killing me.”
"What are you in a hurry for?" Ji Ting laughed, and followed him forward.
Shen Tuchuan watched the people who had agreed to have dinner together leave first, and stood at the gate of the Princess Mansion for a long time before returning to the other courtyard calmly.
Even though I have told myself to get used to it, I still can't get used to seeing her being intimate with others. He laughed at himself, turned around and went back to pack his luggage.
Ji Ting was dragged away by Fu Yun, and after listening to his rambling along the way, he realized that this was just a grasshopper bought at the market and was eager to find someone to share with.
"Listen, Your Highness, how wonderful it is." Fu Yun held out the small cage proudly.
The corner of Ji Ting's mouth twitched, reluctantly saying, "It's so good..."
"Your Highness, look at this color, this body shape, this is the king of grasshoppers, I bought it for one or two gold!" Fu Yun looked proud.
"How much did you pay for it?"
"One tael of gold!" After Fuyun finished speaking, he realized that it wasn't Ji Ting who asked him, swallowed his saliva and turned around, and flirted with Mu after seeing him, "Brother Mu, you're here."
"One or two gold is enough for ordinary people to spend for a year, and you bought this thing?" Mu Yuzhi had a kind and pleasant smile on his face.
Ji Ting silently moved towards him, and expressed his position seriously: "I don't like this thing, I definitely didn't encourage him to buy it."
"Your Highness!" Fu Yun was dissatisfied, "How can you be so disrespectful?"
Ji Ting chuckled, expressing that since he was starved several times by Mu and him, any sense of loyalty or family ties are non-existent.
"Fuyun, did brother Mu give you too much pocket money recently?" Mu Yuzhi had a deep meaning.
Fu Yun swallowed her saliva, and gave a dry laugh: "Mu, Brother Mu, you see, I have only this little hobby, and this thing is not as good as a hairpin of His Highness, so don't bother with me about this small amount of money. "
"I want to care about it." Mu Yu raised his eyebrows.
Fuyun: "..." Such a stingy man is actually the richest person in Tianqi, God is really annoying!
When several people were chatting and laughing, Chu Yan suddenly walked over with a solemn face. Ji Ting raised the corners of his lips when he saw him, and when he was about to speak, he saw the blood on his body, and suddenly frowned: "What's going on?"
"This bloodstain is not of lowly rank...Your Highness, Zhang Sheng from Chengyuguan is back, you...you go and see him." Chu Yan's eyes were slightly red as he spoke.
Ji Ting stared at him blankly, her heart slowly sinking.
In the wing room, there was a bloody smell everywhere. As soon as Ji Ting entered the door, she felt physically nauseated, but she held back her discomfort and walked to the bedside.
The guard who was bandaging blood all over the bed was about to get up immediately, Ji Ting hurriedly stopped him: "Don't talk about etiquette at this time, tell me... what happened?"
"Your Highness... Chengyuguan was attacked by barbarians. The humble brothers and Prime Minister Shentu, in order to protect the people, are gone..." The eighteen or nineteen-year-old man was obviously childish, but his eyes were extremely stubborn, even though they were red. Also refused to shed half a tear.
Ji Ting didn't know why, his heart suddenly throbbed, and he asked in an unbelievable hoarse voice: "What did you say?"
"Ms. Shentu, she, she has never been used to the climate of Chengyuguan, and the bad news is gone..." The dark guard finally choked up, "There are so many people, only one is left, if it is not for the low position Injury, maybe he came back a few days ago."
"Why didn't you mention this in the memorial?" Ji Ting's hands and feet were cold.
The secret guard coughed a few times, his face pale: "Then General Cheng Yuguan is His Highness's former subordinate, and the county guard is a student of Prime Minister Shentu. It is impossible not to report this kind of thing."
... So it's just that the male lead is so stubborn that he doesn't want people in the world to poke him in the back, so he kept it a secret? For the first time, Ji Ting was so angry that he trembled all over, wishing he could go into the palace and beat that bastard to death.
"Your Highness..." Mu Yuzhi grabbed her arm with a sullen face, "This is not the time to be angry, let's think about how to tell Shen Tuchuan first."
Ji Ting took a deep breath, and after a long time slowly said: "I'll talk."
…
In the most remote courtyard, Shen Tuchuan had already packed a small package, which was currently placed on the stone table in the center of the courtyard. He quietly looked at the peach tree by the courtyard wall, not knowing what he was thinking, but he came back to his senses when he heard the sound of light footsteps next to his ears.
"His Highness is coming?" He smiled.
When Ji Ting walked into the yard, he thought he had calmed down, but when he saw his ignorant face, the previously suppressed pain suddenly overwhelmed him.
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and her voice trembled a little: "Shen Tuchuan..."
The smile on Shen Tuchuan's face disappeared in an instant, and a brief smile flashed across his face for a while, and then his face was expressionless, his eyes filled with weak requests: "Your Highness, the grass people should go, is the carriage ready? Or..."
"Shen Tuchuan, Prime Minister Shen Tu..."
"I don't want to hear it!" Shen Tuchuan's eyes turned red instantly, he took a step back in a daze, and murmured with a face of resistance, "I don't want to hear it."
"My condolences, Prime Minister Shentu definitely doesn't want you to be too sad."
Shen Tuchuan grabbed Ji Ting's arm suddenly, and there was still hope in his eyes: "Where's my mother? Where's my mother?"
"She, she also went with the prime minister." After Ji heard these words, his internal organs began to ache.
The hope in Shen Tuchuan's eyes was extinguished, and he knelt down on the ground weakly, and there was a muffled sound when his knee hit the bluestone slab. He knelt there decadently, a shadow cast over his whole body.
After a while, a few drops of water fell on the ground where he was kneeling, casting a small shadow on the bluestone floor.
Then more and more shadows appeared, Ji Ting was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head belatedly, only then did he realize that it was raining.
"Shen Tuchuan, shall we go to the house first?" Ji Ting persuaded in a low voice.
"When did my parents go?"
Ji Ting paused for a moment: "According to the secret guard, it should be ten days ago."
"...The memorial was just delivered at that time, did you mention their death?"
Ji Ting's eyes were moist: "I mentioned it." She wanted to lie so that he could hate him less, but she was afraid that this lie could not be kept from him for the rest of his life, and his hatred would only grow stronger.
"The emperor didn't say so?" Shen Tuchuan laughed at himself, "Because my father became a hero, it will prove that his original judgment was wrong, so even if he knows that my father died because of this apocalypse, he will pretend not to know the truth. ?"
Ji Ting was silent, watching him calm down, suddenly thought of the plot in the original text where he entered the palace after learning the news of his parents' death. He should know that no matter how good his skills are, he can't beat the thousands of troops of the imperial army, so he was actually determined to die at that time.
The rain fell all over the sky, hitting the ground with a shattering sound, the weather that was already gradually getting colder became even colder, the rain fell on the body and penetrated into the neckline, as if the bones were frozen and hurt.
Ji Ting knelt down tremblingly, and put his arms around his neck: "Shen Tuchuan, calm down, the emperor is a bastard, but he is also the most powerful bastard in the world, you are the only one in the Shentu family, you can't be impulsive... "
She tried to persuade him from all angles with a trembling voice, but Shen Tuchuan looked down at the falling rain on the ground, and still had no reaction.
After a long time, he noticed that the person in his arms seemed to be shaking violently, so he regained his senses slightly.
"Ah... Shen Tuchuan, what Prime Minister Shen Tu is most proud of in his life is not being an important minister under one person, nor is he teaching students who are full of peaches and plums, but you. What he is most proud of is your son," Ji Ting His fingers were cold, and he held his face tremblingly, making him look at himself, "Only parents love children the most in this world. If he is still here, he will definitely not allow you to be a fool. Calm down, okay..."
"Why does Your Highness think that I must be stupid?"
Ji Ting shook his head: "You answer me first, you will be fine, right?"
Shen Tuchuan looked at her fixedly, and said in a low voice for a while: "Your Highness, go back and rest, the rain is too cold, you will get sick."
"I'm not leaving, you haven't answered me yet." The rain was getting heavier, Ji Ting couldn't open his eyes, but he still looked at Shen Tuchuan firmly.
Shen Tuchuan stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly hugged her into his arms, his arms were so strong that he seemed to want to embed her in his body.
Ji Ting's eyes were warm, and she didn't know if she was crying, but she knew that Shen Tuchuan must have been, because the rain on her neck had become a little hot.
"Your Highness, I have no home..."
His voice was extremely small, but it revealed great despair, and then Ji Ting heard a choked voice. Ji Ting bit his lips tightly, let him hug him tightly, and calmly said after a long time: "The matter of Prime Minister Shentu will not just be buried like this, I will help you clean up the dirty water on Shentu's family one by one, Shentuchuan, you Trust me, okay?"
Shen Tuchuan said nothing, but held her hand harder.
I don't know how long it took, and the rain gradually became lighter. Ji Ting felt that Shen Tuchuan's mood had calmed down a little, so he patted him on the back: "Go take a hot bath, and be careful not to get sick."
"Hmm..." Shen Tuchuan's voice was muffled, and he slowly let go of her. Just as he was about to stand up, his vision darkened, and then he fell headlong to the ground.
Before falling into darkness, he heard Ji Ting calling his name in panic. He wanted to say don't be afraid, but he didn't say anything, so he didn't know about personnel.
Ji Ting's voice called the people who had been waiting outside, and there was a sudden chaos. It was not until an hour later that she drank a bowl of slightly hot ginger tea that she felt alive.
At that time, she was already in her own room, put on dry underwear and huddled under the quilt, looking pale at Mu Yuzhi who was accompanying her: "This matter can't just be left alone."
"Um."
"I want to help Shen Tuchuan get back what he deserves."
"it is good."
Ji Ting lowered his eyes: "You won't persuade me?"
"His Highness has been special to Shen Tuchuan from the very beginning, and he has always known about it." Mu Yu smiled lightly.
Ji Ting bit his lips, and said for a long while: "I want the cause of Prime Minister Shentu's death to be reported from Chengyuguan to the capital, with the fastest speed, and with the word of the people all over the world, so that the emperor can't turn a blind eye and hear it. Your firm will do it."
The fastest message delivery in the world should be these businessmen who travel far and wide.
"Okay." Mu Yuzhi still agreed.
Ji Ting took a deep breath: "This matter must be done without leaving any traces, otherwise the emperor will find out about us and cause trouble."
"It's natural, don't worry, Your Highness." After Mu Yuzhi finished speaking, he turned and left to do this matter.
Ji Ting sat quietly on the bed alone, thinking of the unwillingness and hatred on Shen Tuchuan's face, he was speechless for a long time.
It was night, Shen Tuchuan finally woke up, the news reached Ji Ting immediately, she immediately put on her clothes and went to see him.
Fu Yun came over hesitantly, and before Ji Ting could speak, he handed the casserole in his hand to the servant girl: "This is what His Highness left over from the last time he repaired his body. There are not many posts in the world. Your Highness, help me Send it to Mr. Shentu."
"Fuyun..." Ji Ting saw for the first time that he was not hostile to Shen Tuchuan.
Fu Yun scratched his head uncomfortably: "I don't have a family, His Highness bought me back from a beggar, and His Highness is my family, so I think... the feeling of losing my family should be worse than death. Make him feel better."
"...Okay." Ji Ting forced a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and went to find Shen Tuchuan.
She walked silently all the way to Shen Tuchuan's door, took the things from the servant girl's hand, and entered his bedroom alone.
Shen Tuchuan sat on the bed with blank eyes, lifeless like a puppet, Ji Ting felt very uncomfortable, and raised his voice after a moment of silence: "Shen Tuchuan, it's time for dinner."
Shen Tuchuan moved his fingertips, then mechanically looked at her, and said in a hoarse voice for a while, "I want to go to Chengyuguan."
"... I understand that you want to go to watch the spirit, but if you go at this time, it will be tantamount to telling the emperor that you have always been in touch with your parents." Ji Ting persuaded in a deep voice.
"I want to go to Chengyuguan... I am the only child of my parents, I want to go to Chengyuguan." Shen Tuchuan looked at her fixedly, a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye, but he didn't seem to feel it.
Ji Ting felt uncomfortable watching, so he couldn't help turning his face away, and said ruthlessly: "No, wait a little longer, and we will welcome them back in an open and honest manner."
She originally wanted Shentu Chuan to fake his death, and then conceal his name to perform filial piety in front of his parents, but the situation is different now, he is the only person who can represent the Shentu family to seek justice, so naturally he can no longer easily give up his status as the son of the Shentu family.
"Your Highness, why is it so difficult for people in this world?"
Ji Ting raised his face, looked at him after calming down, and forced a smile: "Don't think too much, let's eat first."
"I'm not hungry."
"If you don't eat, then I won't eat either." Ji Ting looked at him firmly, "From today, I will have three meals a day with you."
Shen Tuchuan paused with his fingertips.
Ji Ting slowed down his tone: "Can you eat a little?"
"… it is good."
But the end of eating reluctantly is to spit out all these things. Ji Ting looked at Shen Tuchuan's miserable face, and his whole body began to tremble: "Don't eat, don't eat, you should rest first, rest first, okay..."
The last cup of medicinal food was poured out, Ji Ting looked at Shen Tuchuan's sleeping face, and guarded him for a long time before leaving. From this day on, she would accompany him for three meals a day as promised, and if he couldn't eat, she coaxed him to drink porridge.
In just half a month, Shen Tuchuan lost more than half of his weight. The clothes that fit him before looked empty on him, and his eyes lost their luster.
And within half a month, the story of Prime Minister Shentu's sacrifice to save the people was reported from Chengyu Pass back to Kyoto, most of Tian Qi knew about it, and all of them felt grateful for the prime minister's loyalty to the emperor and the people, and resented the emperor's exile of the prime minister.
Seeing that this matter could not be concealed, the emperor had no choice but to retry the old case in order to quell public grievances. Most of the civil servants adjudicating the case were disciples of Prime Minister Shentu, and the matter was handled extremely efficiently, and Shentu's family was cleared in the shortest possible time.
In order to protect his reputation, the emperor ordered that Prime Minister Shentu be buried with the ceremony of a prince, and at the same time revealed that he intended to give their son a half-official position.
When the news reached the Princess Mansion, Ji Ting immediately went to see Shen Tuchuan, and the first thing he said was: "I promised you, to return the Shentu family's innocence, and now I have done it."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Tuchuan's eyes were slightly wet, and he saluted her solemnly. At this time, he was still wearing a filial piety, and with Ji Ting's permission, he had been guarding the other courtyard for more than ten days.
Ji Ting suppressed the sigh in his heart: "Now you can go to the border gate to worship your parents openly and aboveboard."
"No need, the county guard sent me a letter, saying that he had been buried on behalf of the guard. As for the funeral objects rewarded by the emperor," Shen Tuchuan said with a hint of sarcasm, "Let's leave it to the emperor himself."
"...Shen Tuchuan, don't do this, the Prime Minister definitely doesn't want to see you like this." Ji Ting was worried that he hadn't given up on the assassination yet.
Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes: "My father was loyal to the emperor and patriotic all his life, but in the end he fell to the point where he couldn't even keep his reputation without playing tricks. I don't know if this is right or wrong."
"Shen Tuchuan." Ji Ting frowned.
Shen Tuchuan looked at her calmly, then smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't do anything stupid."
It's impossible for Ji Ting not to be worried, it's just that he doesn't want to get in, and it's useless for her to persuade her, so she can only not mention it for now.
After staying with him for a while, Ji Ting turned around and left, not even knowing that the purse fell at his feet, Shen Tuchuan looked at the poorly embroidered petals on the brocade purse, and knew that she embroidered it herself, he After a moment of silence, he bent down and picked it up.
Not long after Ji Ting left Shentuchuan's courtyard, he met Mu Yuzhi in the garden, sat down in the garden and talked to him about Shentuchuan.
"Your Highness didn't tell me about the Emperor allowing him to be an official?" Mu Yu raised his eyebrows.
Ji Ting shook his head: "Of course not, how can you say that, his mental state is too dangerous now, I'm afraid he will assassinate the emperor if he has the chance."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yuzhi saw a figure flashing by in the woods behind her. After a moment of silence, he said lightly: "He won't, and now he belongs to His Highness. If he assassinates the Emperor, His Highness must be implicated. Your Highness will help you." He has taught him so much, he is not ignorant of good and bad."
"I didn't think about being involved or not, but I just didn't want him to lose his life at a young age." Ji Ting looked distressed.
Mu Yuzhi thought for a while and said, "Then what is your Highness planning?"
"I want to help him refuse, and let him find a place to live a good life, even if he is a teacher, as long as he can forget hatred as soon as possible and live as he pleases." Ji Ting sighed, "But it's not easy, he is too stubborn. "
"So, Your Highness never thought of accepting him?" Mu Yuzhi glanced across the forest.
Ji Ting paused, and slowly shook his head: "No." Staying with her means that there will be many opportunities to meet the emperor, and he may never give up assassinating. And as long as she is the eldest princess for a day, she can't leave the emperor's eyes for a day, and she can't accompany him to other places.
As soon as she finished speaking, the figure behind the forest disappeared. Mu Yu lowered his eyes, and chuckled for a while: "Yu Zhi also felt that he shouldn't stay here." Shen Tuchuan's hatred for the emperor could drag His Highness into hell at any time, so from the time of Prime Minister Shen Tu's death in vain, he Made up his mind to let him go.
I just didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.
That night.
Ji Ting tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so he went for a walk in the garden, and then came to Shentuchuan's other courtyard. Seeing the bleak figure in the yard, she went in after a moment of silence.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Ji Ting asked softly.
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, his voice was a little hoarse: "Since the first time His Highness came, I have been waiting here every day, and I have already gotten used to it."
Ji Ting was taken aback, remembering that since he moved in, she seemed to meet him every time she came over... She always thought it was because he didn't like going to bed early, but she didn't expect it to be because of her.
"I heard what His Highness said to Young Master Mu today." Shen Tuchuan hid his emotions and looked at her calmly.
Ji Ting was stunned for a moment: "Listen to my explanation..."
"Since Your Highness doesn't want me, can you let me go?" Shen Tuchuan interrupted her.
Ji Ting's pupils dilated for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"Your Highness, let me go, break off the relationship, and there will be no more involvement in the future, is that okay?" Shen Tuchuan smiled softly as he spoke.
Ji Ting took a step forward anxiously: "What do you want to do?"
"I won't do anything, I promise I won't do stupid things, I won't assassinate the emperor like His Highness is worried about, I will... live a good, long, long life, but only if His Highness lets me go, okay? "Shen Tuchuan said, his fingertips began to tremble.
Ji Ting stared at him blankly, and asked him what he wanted to do after breaking up with the Princess Mansion, but Shen Tuchuan refused to say anything, and she couldn't ask anything.
After a long time, Ji Ting said in a hoarse voice: "...OK."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Tuchuan smiled brightly, as if the haze on his body had disappeared, "Caomin is not generous. You have repeatedly refused, which is really embarrassing for Caomin. I only hope that even if we meet in the future, we will not know each other. The days of the grassroots are just a dream, and when I wake up, I don’t want to think about it.”
Ji Ting suddenly didn't know what to say, so she could only give a few hasty instructions before turning around and leaving. As soon as her back disappeared, Mu Yuzhi came out from a dark corner, and solemnly bowed to Shentu Chuan: "Thank you, Mr. Shentu, for your success!" .”
"You asked me to hear those words today, isn't it for this reason?" As soon as Ji Ting left, the smile on Shen Tuchuan's face faded.
At this time, Mu Yuzhi's face was no longer teasing, and he just sighed softly when he heard the words: "Mu knows that Mr. Shentu will not give up revenge, so he can only make such a bad plan. Please forgive me, sir."
Shen Tuchuan is not willing to leave the princess, nor is he willing to give up revenge. The final result can only be to implicate the princess. It is better to let him know that the princess has no place for him in her heart, so that he can completely sever ties with the princess mansion. In the future, revenge will succeed or fail. Either way, it has nothing to do with the Princess Mansion, or Her Royal Highness.
Shen Tuchuan looked at him calmly, with a hint of deepness in his cold eyes: "Your Highness is mine, and one day it will be mine after all. Before I come to pick her up, take good care of her for me."
Mu Yuzhi was suffocated by his aura, and Shen Tuchuan had already left when he recovered. He frowned slightly, feeling for the first time that things were going out of his control.
In the early morning of the next day, news spread that Shen Tuchuan was dissatisfied with the Eldest Princess and accepted a newcomer, and then the Eldest Princess angrily drove Shen Tuchuan out of the Princess Mansion, and threatened to sever ties with him and never see each other again in this life.
A few days later, the emperor summoned Shen Tuchuan and saw the bloody scars on his body from the eldest princess. He was sure that they would never be reconciled in this life, so he no longer worried that Shen Tuchuan, who was alone with his back against the eldest princess, would make the original plan His official position was changed to one that was two grades higher.
The weather is getting colder and colder, a snow signal the arrival of winter, and the melting of the last snowflake means that this long winter is finally over. Winter goes to spring, spring goes to winter, and it is three years in a blink of an eye.
While standing in front of the market and waiting, Ji Ting heard the common people discussing the young prime minister of the dynasty, and felt in a daze and took it for granted. In the past three years, Shen Tuchuan's reputation has been great, no worse than his father, and because there is no family support behind him, the emperor seems to be very relieved of him, so it is not surprising that he has risen so quickly.
And Shen Tuchuan also did what he said at the beginning, being a complete stranger with her, and seeing her occasionally in these years, he completely regarded her as air, and he didn't even look at her.
"Your Highness?"
A candied gourd was poked in front of him, Ji Ting blinked his eyes, and took it from Zhang Sheng with a smile. Zhang Sheng was the only one who survived the Chengyuguan incident. He became her bodyguard after recovering from his injuries. Now Also more than three years.
"It's too cold, Your Highness should get in the carriage." At this time, a little snow fell, Zhang Sheng offered to hold an umbrella for her.
Ji Ting took a bite of the candied haws: "I want to take a walk, it's too stuffy in the carriage."
"Alright then, Your Highness, beware of slippery roads." Zhang Sheng had no choice but to hold an umbrella beside her.
Ji Ting smiled and gossiped with him: "Didn't I let you rest for a few more days, why are you in such a hurry to come back to work, and watch out for the jealousy of your family."
"She doesn't. She likes Your Highness the most, and was cutting cloth a few days ago to make a skirt for His Highness." Zhang Sheng blushed when he mentioned his sweetheart.
Ji Ting thought it was amusing to see him like this, and before he could make fun of it, suddenly there was a sound of hoofbeats, Zhang Sheng subconsciously protected her, and he still held an umbrella for her with one hand.
A few horses stopped not far in front of them. The leader was dressed in a black python robe and a dark jade crown, with a straight body, wide shoulders and narrow waist. Look him straight in the face.
Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, although he had met him several times at the royal banquet before, he never expected to meet him on the street.
"Your Highness..." Zhang Sheng looked at Shentu Chuan vigilantly. It is well known that the eldest princess and Prime Minister Shentu are at odds. If this person dares to speak rudely, he will risk his life and teach him a lesson.
Ji Ting lowered his eyes and smiled, turned around and walked towards the side of the road, making way for him. Shen Tuchuan's eyes were cold, and after walking around between her and Zhang Sheng, he drove away with a cold face.
