Several years after he ascended the throne, Long's power has grown stronger. It has been a long time since anyone dared to be "unruly" in front of him.
The Feng Shaojun in front of him was not only Yang Jinghe's "adopted son", but also Shen You's wife and his most capable subordinate... Forget it, forgive her for this.
Emperor Qing'an calmed himself down and said, "I have a secret decree for you."
As he spoke, he picked up a long and narrow brocade box from the imperial desk.
This brocade box contained an imperial edict that could save her life in critical moments. It was also an amulet that her adoptive father had bought for her with his life's work.
Feng Shaojun felt sour in his heart. He stepped forward to take the brocade box, then knelt down upright and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as Eunuch Yang died, all past friendship between them seemed to have ended.
Emperor Qing'an's eyes dimmed, and he said after a while: "Get up!"
Feng Shaojun respectfully accepted the order and stood up.
"When will you leave Beijing?" Emperor Qing'an asked.
Feng Shaojun replied: "I will leave after leaving the palace."
Emperor Qing'an said calmly: "There is no one or thing in this palace that you care about anymore. If you want to leave early, just leave!"
There was a hint of sourness in these words.
Feng Shaojun just pretended that he didn't hear it and responded respectfully: "San'er bids farewell to the emperor. I wish the emperor good health and great prosperity for generations to come."
Then, turn around and leave.
Emperor Qing'an watched Feng Shaojun leave. Before Feng Shaojun stepped out of the threshold, he suddenly asked: "Will you return to the capital in the future?"
This is really ridiculous to ask.
Feng Shaojun turned around and looked at Emperor Qing'an from a distance: "Since the Emperor has asked, I will answer boldly."
"Whether we go back to the capital or not is not up to us. From the beginning to the end, we have no right to choose. Fortunately, Shen You is like a fish in the water in the border army. I have also adapted to life in the border town."
"Shen You has never complained about others. I advance and retreat together with him."
"After today's farewell, I think I will not come back in the future, and neither will Shen You. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Shen You is a loyal minister and good general of Da Qi. He will never betray His Majesty's grace, let alone do anything he shouldn't do. thing."
"I just hope that we won't doubt each other and we won't bear each other down."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Emperor Qing'an didn't say anything anymore, and just watched Feng Shaojun duck out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and his figure quickly disappeared from sight.
After a long time, Emperor Qing'an returned to the imperial palace and slowly sat down on the familiar dragon chair.
Yang Jinghe, open your eyes in the sky and take a look. Feng Shaojun is so powerful, how could I dare to doubt her and Shen You, and how could I betray their trust?
Yang Jinghe, you have only been gone a few days, but I already miss you very much.
Emperor Qing'an closed his eyes and didn't open them for a long time.
…
After Feng Shaojun left the palace, she went back to her private residence and disguised herself. When she appeared again, she looked like a servant. She went to a large shop in the capital. The subordinates who had escorted her to the capital that day had been waiting.
The wait was over a month.
When the subordinate saw her, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully: "I've met Madam."
Feng Shaojun nodded slightly: "Let me prepare and set off back to the border town immediately."
What she had to do had been done, and it was time for her to go back. That afternoon, the convoy loaded with goods walked out of the city gate slowly and onto the official road.
Feng Shaojun turned his head and glanced at the tall city gate that was getting further away, and quickly looked away.
Feng Shaojun was eager to return home. After the motorcade left the capital, it sped up.
Before, her whole heart was devoted to her adoptive father, but now that things have happened here, she finally returned home. She began to miss her children and her husband Shen You, and she wished she could grow wings and fly back immediately.
Traveling day and night, the speed is really not slow.
After half a month, I finally returned to the border town.
It was windy and cold in the north. Fortunately, Feng Shaojun was already accustomed to such a climate. When he saw the towering city gate from a distance, Feng Shaojun's eyes lit up.
After entering the city gate, Feng Shaojun took advantage of the crowd and confusion to quietly get out of the carriage. He first went to his private house to disguise himself in an auspicious appearance, and then took the carriage back to Jiangjunfang.
With an auspicious face on her face, she entered the inner house unimpeded.
When Mrs. Xu heard that "Jixiang" was back, she was so excited that she almost burst into tears.
Shen Xu was careless and didn't think anything was wrong, but Shen Hao said in a coquettish voice: "Great-grandmother, why did it take so long for Mother Jixiang to come?"
Mrs. Xu knew that Shen Hao was attentive and sensitive, so she patiently coaxed her: "Ji Xiang's mother was ill before and has been recuperating. Now that she is cured, she is back."
Shen Hao opened her eyes with clear black and white eyes: "It's so strange that Jixiang's mother and mother are both sick at the same time!"
Xu: "..."
Mrs. Xu coughed and quickly changed the subject: "How about we go see your mother together?"
Shen Xu rushed to respond: "Okay, okay."
Shen Hao didn't say anything. He held his great-grandmother's hand with a smile and went to see his mother.
Ji Xiang's mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, stood beside the bed with a smile on her face.
Feng Shaojun, who was lying on the bed recuperating from his illness, was in good spirits today. He sat up on the bed and stretched out his hands to hold his children in his arms.
Shen Xu, who prided himself on being a little man, felt uncomfortable all over. He squirmed and shouted: "Mom, don't hug me. I'm so old, if I hug a girl again, my cousin and the others will laugh at me." "
This brat.
Feng Shaojun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to let go.
Shen Xu just yelled a few words out of habit. When his mother really let go and only held her sister, she felt a little empty. Shen Xu awkwardly moved closer and said, "Forget it, you can hug me if you want, and I will." Bear with it for once."
Feng Shaojun chuckled and hugged his son.
Shen Hao wrinkled his nose at his brother and made a cute face.
Xu and Feng Shaojun looked at each other and smiled.
…
On the second day, Feng Shaojun's symptoms improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was "cured" within a few days.
At the end of the month, the army took a two-day break, and Shen You came back.
The couple reunited after a long absence and hugged each other tightly.
"Young Master, you have lost a lot of weight." Shen You hugged his thin wife, feeling heartbroken.
For more than two months, she rushed back to the capital to take care of her adoptive father's illness, send him off to make arrangements for his funeral, and then rush back. Each incident was very draining of her energy. It was inevitable to lose weight.
Feng Shaojun snuggled into his arms and softly recounted what happened: "... Before his death, my adoptive father asked for a life-saving edict for our husband and wife."
"Before leaving, the emperor asked me if I would not have returned to the palace to say goodbye if my adoptive father had not told me to do so. I answered yes."
Shen You said calmly: "That's how it is. If it wasn't for Eunuch Yang, why would you return to the palace."
As for him, he will never return to the capital, and he never wants to see Emperor Qing'an again in his life.
Feng Shaojun felt the same as him and hugged him tightly silently.
From now on, the two owe nothing to each other.
The couple settled down in the border town and lived their own lives. They no longer had anything to do with the palace.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Father, mother!" Shen Xu's voice was louder than the knock on the door: "What are you whispering in the house? I want to listen too."
Feng Shaojun laughed and whispered: "Hao'er must have encouraged brother to knock on the door."
Shen You also laughed, took Feng Shaojun's hand, and opened the door together. Shen You hugged his delicate daughter, and Feng Shaojun held his son's hand.
"Let's go, dad and mom will take you to play."
