Shen Lan was brought back to Dabei in April. Although there were some twists and turns on the road, he was safely sent back to the capital by Dabei's army. Once he arrived in the capital, he was taken back to the palace and directly invited to the Chen Palace. temple
Shen Huan was waiting for him here. When he saw Shen Lan who looked a little tired, he didn't know what kind of sadness arose in his heart. Shen Lan kept his head lowered when he walked in. The farthest distance between his eyes was only Shen Huan's ankles. There, he saw the hem of a brown skirt and black embroidered shoes... His heart sank slightly, and he quickly fell down.
"Shen Lan meets the Queen Mother." He knelt down and prostrated deeply.
Shen Wen did not let him get up immediately. He just kept prostrating. Then he saw a pair of black embroidered shoes walking in front of him. The embroidered shoes were embroidered with dark yellow chrysanthemums. "Brother," he heard the familiar and distant words. I haven't heard the voice for a long time, it's been so many years... It seems like when he was still a child, he wanted to sneak out to play, quietly squeezed his hand, and called himself pitifully
"Brother, you won't blame me for making you kneel for so long?" she asked softly.
Shen Lan's head dropped even lower: "Shen Lan doesn't dare"
Shen Wen sighed softly, squatted down, held Shen Lan's shoulders with both hands, and said, "If I don't let you kneel down for a while, the hatred in my heart will never go away." She felt the shoulders under her hands tremble, She continued: "But, no matter what, you are still my brother. Get up, brother." She helped Shen Lan up personally, smiled softly at him, led him to a chair aside, let him sit down, and sat back down herself. Shen Lan's appearance has not changed much, but he has grown a beard, making him look a little older.
Shen Lan saw Shen Wen wearing the simplest pony bun and brown clothes. Although her skin was still fair and her eyebrows were still so delicate, she still couldn't resist the faint sadness. He coughed lightly and hoarsely. Said: "It was you who made Ye Cangqiong misunderstand that I still have contact with Beiguo and have dealings with you. Your counter-intuitive trick is actually used very well."
Shen Wen did not deny it, and continued: "The emperor is always suspicious, not to mention that the correspondence between us has been very frequent over the years. Although you rarely reply to me, every letter I write will go through Ye Cangqiong first. After reviewing it, maybe he has discovered that what I wrote involves more and more secrets. Maybe these letters have not been passed to you, but the king's suspicion has slowly grown."
Shen Lan smiled bitterly: "I think Ye Cangqiong already knew that you were just using counter-intuitive tactics, otherwise you wouldn't have stopped me when Dabei's people came back."
"He also knows that you are a talented general. You must be regretting it now!" She suddenly changed the subject and asked Youyou: "Brother, do you know why I hate you?"
Shen Lan was looking at her, but when he heard her asking, he suddenly lowered his eyes, as if he had really done something to feel sorry for her.
Shen Huan smiled faintly and said coldly: "Six years ago at Huitou Cliff, the three cold arrows behind me were shot by my brother, right?"
Shen Lan didn't speak, and his silence expressed his acquiescence.
"Brother, you almost killed me" Shen Huan said softly
Shen Lan suddenly raised his head and said: "Ah Huan, brother didn't mean to hurt you. You were very close to Ye Cangqiong at that time. I know he will definitely save you. The person I want to kill is just..."
"It's just Chu Xichen, I know," Shen Huan said lightly, "Now that he is dead, you have got your wish. But brother, have you ever thought about what if Ye Cangqiong didn't save me? Then now, you can't see me "
Shen Lan lowered his head again and said apologetically: "I'm sorry."
Shen Wen shook his head and said: "I said, you are always my brother, the brother who grew up with me, so... I made you kneel for so long just now, but don't even think about escaping from me. I brought you back because I hope you can come back to Bangbang Zhaoer. No matter what, you are also his uncle."
Shen Lan hurriedly asked: "Is Zhao'er okay?"
A smile appeared on Shen Wen's face and he said: "As a son, he is very well-behaved. As an emperor, he is also very smart. And as a little emperor, he seems to be born with some imperial ambitions. He is only a seven-year-old child. Go He is already planning how to acquire the Western Kingdom... He probably knows that his father died on the battlefield in the Western Frontier!"
Shen Lan looked into her eyes and asked: "I killed Chu Xichen, you..."
"That's probably fate! The Shen family members did die in his hands. You are your father's biological son. It is only natural that you want revenge."
"But, I regret it." Shen Lan looked at the sadness in his sister's eyes and said a little sadly, "Although you were saved by Ye Cangqiong at that time, when you saw Chu Xichen falling down the cliff, you But I also jumped down. At that time, my heart really felt like needles... I really regretted it. It was at that time that my brother realized that sister, you really fell in love with him." He said bitterly. Smiling bitterly, "If Chu Xichen dies, and you die with him, I will probably never forgive myself in this life! If I have to choose between revenge and my sister, I would rather you, my sister, forever They all live as comfortably as before, being held in the palm of their hands and held high."
Shen Huan felt extremely sour in her heart, shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, it's already too late, isn't it?"
Shen Lan hurriedly said: "It's not too late, it's not too late. In fact, that day..." He was about to say something, but he heard hurried footsteps behind him, and then saw Shen Huan greeting her with a smile on her face. He turned around I saw a boy with fair skin wearing a bright yellow dragon robe running over.
Shen Huan bent down, opened his arms and held the child in his arms, and then asked: "Is Zhao'er good today? Have you listened to the master's words?"
Zhaoer smiled and said loudly: "Of course, otherwise the master would not have allowed me to come back from get out of class early today to see my mother! Huh? Who is this?"
Shen Wen pulled him up to Shen Lan and said, "This is your uncle, haven't you seen him yet?"
Shen Lan hurriedly knelt down to say hello. Zhaoer gave him a hand and said with a smile: "So Zhaoer also has an uncle! Come on, uncle!"
Shen Huan added: "Your uncle is very strategic in marching and fighting, and he is also very familiar with the battlefield in the western border. You must entrust him with important responsibilities in the future. It took a lot of effort for my mother to invite your uncle back."
Zhaoer glanced at Shen Lan and said with a smile: "Although he is my uncle, it still depends on whether he has real skills! Is my uncle more powerful than General Zhang Jinyue?"
Shen Wen said dumbfounded: "You! You are such a brat. When your uncle was leading the army, Zhang Jinyue was only serving in the Ministry of War! Also, your uncle is also the husband-in-law of your aunt Changping, so he is even closer to you now. "
Zhaoer nodded thoughtfully, and Shen Huan said to Shen Lan: "You have been away for several years, it's time to go back and see Zhenyin."
