Now that the matter has come to an end, everyone rested in the temple that night. Early the next morning, they were all packing their things and preparing to go back to the Regent's Palace.

The road back to the palace is flat and calm. There are not many people on weekdays, only a few merchants coming and going.

Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue were in the same carriage.

Shen Xinyue had a rare peaceful sleep, but before she could sleep for a few hours, she was woken up and went down the mountain.

At this time in the carriage, Shen Xinyue was also drowsy.

Huo Weilou smiled, took Shen Xinyue in his arms and let her lean on his shoulder. "Yueer, go to sleep."

Shen Xinyue's heart suddenly became an exclamation point.

This is too sudden!

Huo Weilou's sudden move made Shen Xinyue blush and her sleepiness dissipate.

"No, I won't sleep anymore." Shen Xinyue shook her head quickly.

Huo Weilou was puzzled. Wasn't he yawning profusely just now and making his eyelids twitch? Why was he suddenly not sleeping again now?

Women are truly fickle creatures.

Shen Xinyue thought about changing the topic, but then thought about what happened last night.

"Huo Weilou, that maid was pushed out to take the blame, why don't you continue the investigation?" Thinking of this, Shen Xinyue was still a little unhappy. She clearly wanted to say something else, but Huo Weilou made the decision directly without leaving anything to her. Time to speak.

As long as she is given some more time, Lan Qingruo's fox tail can definitely be exposed!

Huo Weilou stretched out his hand and scratched Shen Xinyue's nose, and said in a slightly doting tone: "Some things don't have to be found to reveal the truth."

"But Lan Qingruo wants to destroy my innocence!" Shen Xinyue was a little stubborn.

It was clear that if Lan Qing wanted to target her, she would just fight back. What's more, if Lan Qing succeeded this time, Shen Xinyue would have to bear the scolding and criticism of her every day.

Become the talk of the town after dinner and become a laughing stock!

After that, someone will force Huo Weilou to divorce his wife.

Then Shen Xinyue will become a woman who has lost her status and status, and will be rounded and squashed by others.

Her resistance was out of strength, because this was not the modern era, and there were ancient times where there were distinctions between high and low.

"I know that you have been wronged by this matter. Yue'er, whatever compensation you want, I will satisfy you." Huo Weilou sighed softly.

Why didn't he want to use this matter to get rid of Lan Qingruo?

It's just that the involvement behind this is too extensive. The old princess is keeping Lan Qingruo in the loop, and Lan Qingruo has the Taifu's backing.

He couldn't move this man.

At least he couldn't move until the Taifu and the old princess were completely defeated.

He could impose minor punishments, ground her from home, and fine her with a salary, but other things were not convenient for him to do right now.

Even if he is a powerful regent.

Shen Xinyue is a smart person, and she knows this very well.

Although she was furious, she did not force Huo Weilou to teach Lan Qingruo a lesson for her.

Besides, she and Huo Weilou were only a couple in name. They had no real relationship or feelings. It was already good that Huo Weilou was willing to do this for her.

Shen Xinyue was a little disappointed.

"You don't have to compensate me, Danger Tower. In fact, I understand." Shen Xinyue looked at him, the tenderness in her eyes was as thick as a pool of water, but she didn't know it at all.

"I will make both Lan Qingruo and the old lady pay for this matter." Huo Weilou looked at the curtain of the carriage, as if looking through the curtain at the old lady in the carriage ahead.

Shen Xinyue suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and became a little worried: "The situation is unpredictable, so be careful."

Huo Weilou felt warm in his heart: "Yueer is worried about me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just worried about my life." Shen Xinyue tilted her head proudly.

But in fact, her heart was as warm as spring. In this strange world, it was a great blessing to have someone treat her so well.

Although this person wanted to kill her at first.

Back in the palace, Song Ruyu, Aunt Liu and others were preparing to return soon.

After resting for a day and a night, everyone's energy was restored.

The old princess summoned everyone to the main room.

"Now that they are all here, I will tell you what I have to say directly." The old princess put on a show and put on an air.

"This child, Fengjiao, was wronged and frightened when we worshiped the Buddha. We at the Regent's Palace must comfort her and not let her continue to be wronged."

"In addition to the princess, there is no one who knows her well in the palace to talk to, so she lets Fengjiao stay in the palace to keep the princess company. Secondly, the palace can also let the palace make up for Fengjiao, so that Fengjiao can no longer be wronged. ."

"Fengjiao, you can stay with the princess and the others. If my old lady remembers correctly, there is an empty side room in their yard."

The old princess was making a lot of calculations.

After listening to the old princess's speech, Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue thought clearly about all the causes and consequences.

The farce that happened in Baoyun Temple, and the maid being blamed in the end, was probably just to allow Shen Fengjiao to stay in the palace justifiably!

Shen Xinyue and Huo Weilou glanced at each other, clearly seeing it in each other's eyes.

"Mom, after all, Shen Fengjiao is a woman who has not left the imperial court. Isn't it bad if she stays in the palace like this, or in the courtyard of Huo Weilou and I?" Shen Xinyue said loudly.

Shen Fengjiao had tried to seduce Huo Weilou before, but now the old princess had directly placed her next door to them. Her intention should not be too obvious!

Not only can Shen Fengjiao seduce Huo Weilou, but also Shen Fengjiao can be her spy and observe their every move.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

Oh, no, you can also make Shen Fengjiao work for her wholeheartedly. This is killing three birds with one stone!

"Fengjiao is your sister, why doesn't she live with you?" The old princess's eyes widened with anger, and she raised her cane as if she was about to lose her temper.

"After all, I, my concubine, once wanted to seduce my man. I thought that if I gave her a chance, she might actually succeed." Shen Xinyue spoke in a sinister tone.

Shen Fengjiao's face was so angry that she almost deformed!

This Shen Xinyue! Why is she holding on to this matter? She was clearly the victim that day! She entered the room in Huo Wei Building and was obviously about to succeed, but this damn Shen Xinyue was actually waiting in the room !

If she hadn't been an eyesore and was now the regent, it might have been Shen Fengjiao!

"You! Why do you speak so harshly! I am just a prince delivering some food, and you were also in the room at that time. How could you say that to me? You are my sister!" Shen Fengjiao took a few steps back pretending to be surprised. .

It's just that the acting was so poor that Shen Xinyue just felt it was eye-catching.

Only the old princess watched it with gusto and regarded it as a show.

"If you say no, then there won't be." Shen Xinyue shrugged nonchalantly.

"Okay, that's it! Madam Song, after lunch, I will send someone to take you back to Shen Mansion." This is the order to expel guests.

Today's lunch is not a big family sitting together to eat together. The old princess dislikes their noisiness. In addition, she is old and has been too tired for the past few days and has not recovered yet.

Song Ruyu and Song had dinner with Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue in their house.

Aunt Liu and others had their own table, and the food was served by the maids in the dining room.

Shen Xinyue thought that Song Ruyu was leaving today. After leaving, she would not be able to see and contact her for many days, and she felt a little reluctant in her heart.

"Yueer, don't cry. Mom is just going back to Shen's house. There will be many opportunities to meet her in the future." Song Ruyu understood when she saw Shen Xinyue's eyes were red and she was eating silently without even raising her head.

"I'm not crying." Shen Xinyue was still stubborn.

Huo Weilou was eating silently aside without saying a word. At this time, he also knew not to disturb the mother and daughter.

Shen Xinyue put down her bowls and chopsticks, took several deep breaths, and adjusted her emotions.

By chance, a servant from the palace came over to remind Song Ruyu that the carriage was ready, and Aunt Liu and others had already boarded the carriage.

"Yue'er, you have to take good care of yourself in the palace, don't be petty, and serve the prince well." Song Ruyu said a lot of words, and then she and the boy left the courtyard.

Shen Xinyue chased him out and said goodbye to Song Ruyu at the side door of the palace.

"Mom, you must take good care of yourself when you return to the Shen Mansion. Don't be as weak as before. Be careful about your concubines and don't have a second Aunt Liu." What Shen Xinyue is most worried about is Song Ruyu's weakness.

Song Ruyu nodded repeatedly, with sincerity in her eyes. It was obvious that she had listened to Shen Xinyue's words this time.

"Mother listens to Yue'er."

"By the way, Yue'er, Wangchi will come to Beijing soon to take over his family's business in the capital."

Song Ruyu didn't tell Shen Xinyue to take care of Shen Wangchi, but Shen Xinyue understood.

"Don't worry, mother. When my brother comes to the capital, I will definitely take good care of him."

The two of them didn't speak any more. Song Ruyu turned around and got on the carriage in three steps. Then she stuck her head out of the window and looked deeply at Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue returned to the yard and lay on the deck chair next to the flower garden, with her eyes closed and warmed by the sun.

But in my heart, I thought of Shen Wangchi's appearance.

Shen Wangchi was Song Ruyu's first child and Shen Xinyue's elder brother. Shen Xinyue remembered that Shen Wangchi was betrayed by his good brother who was a fraternal brother, broke his leg, and was disheartened and helpless.

However, the Shen family's business in the capital was not good, and they were not ranked at all. For Shen Wangchi to come to the capital to do business, it was like being sent to the frontier.
