Shen Xihe personally escorted Xue Heng and Xue Jinqiao out of the city. As they left, Bu Shulin also came to join in the fun. After they left, Bu Shulin said, "Mr. Xue looks different than before."
Before he resigned, he looked strong, but he was tinged with old age. Now he looked much kinder, with a little more light in his eyes, and he was full of life.
"It's all thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Shen Xihe raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Xue Heng had a knot in his heart, and he became increasingly weak because he had no desire to live. However, if he could rekindle his hope of living, he would surely recover quickly.
Shen Xihe felt that Xiao Huayong hoped that Xue Heng would be like him in the past, travel more and see more, and perhaps he would be able to let go of the depression in his heart.
In this way, not only Xue Heng would be safe, but Xue Qi would also save his life. Xue Jinqiao would be able to marry Shen Yueshan after she reached the age of 15 as expected.
Shen Xihe would have fewer worries if he had someone he could trust to take care of his father and brother.
Bu Shulin tilted his head when he heard this, and looked him up and down with an ambiguous gaze: "You have changed. You always mention the prince recently. Every time you mention him, there is a smile on your lips and a light in your eyes."
Shen Xihe hadn't realized it before, so she turned around and asked Zhenzhu, "Is there?"
Pearl nodded like pounding garlic.
After the incident with Lord Xue, the princess' attitude towards the prince changed drastically. The number of times she mentioned him increased significantly, and her tone and attitude were also different. She felt that the princess was concerned about His Highness. Maybe she was not yet willing to go through fire and water for His Highness, but if His Highness was injured or sick at this moment, the princess would definitely be concerned about him, and would never just ask the imperial physician coldly.
After getting a positive answer, Shen Xihe thought about it carefully and decided that she did not reject this change.
Her clarity of mind did not mean that she had to eliminate it by force. She never put herself in a difficult position. Xiao Huayong used his ability to make her change her attitude towards him. She followed her heart, turned around, mounted her horse and returned to the city.
"Hey, wait for me, where are you going?" Bu Shulin quickly jumped on the horse and shouted.
Shen Xihe turned and raised his eyebrows at her: "Go to the East Palace."
Bu Shulin immediately tightened the reins and watched Shen Xihe gallop away. After Shen Yueshan came and gave him personal instruction, Shen Xihe's horse riding skills were now very proficient, and his posture while riding a horse was indescribably free and easy and pleasing to the eye.
As she watched, Bu Shulin felt a sense of pride in her heart. After all, she was the first one to teach Shen Xihe how to ride.
"Everyone has disappeared, why are you still looking?" A cold and clear voice sounded behind him.
Bu Shulin turned around and saw Cui Jinbai carrying a bag. He looked behind him and saw the city gate, so he smiled and said, "Shaoqing Cui is back?"
A few days ago, Cui Jinbai was assigned a mission. Bu Shulin wished that Cui Jinbai would go out on official business every day. It would be best if he could be transferred directly to a local area to be a high-ranking official, so that she would be free.
Cui Jinbai stared at her quietly, without saying a word.
Cui Jinbai was ill and did not allow her to get close to Shen Xihe. He always felt that she had feelings for Shen Xihe, just like she had suspected Cui Jinbai in the beginning. Bu Shulin was too lazy to explain: "Where are your people and horses?"
He was coming back from a business trip, so he must have been on horseback. Bu Shulin also heard the sound of horse hooves just now, but he felt that it was not coming towards him, so he ignored it.
