Shen Lan returned to serve in the court, but was blocked by some veterans. Fortunately, the person who was favored by Prime Minister Shen was promoted by Shen Huan after Zhao'er succeeded to the throne. The power of the Shen family has increased, which is of course the best thing for them. , so after some debate, Shen Lan was finally allowed to return to the court.
In fact, the topic that everyone was arguing was because Shen Lan had betrayed Dabei, but under Shen Huan's protection, she said that as long as Shen Lan was there, she could break through the Western Kingdom. The ministers saw that her attitude was so determined and she was so steadfast in her vows, so they tentatively believed it. But as soon as Shen Lan is found to be making any changes, the Queen Mother must kill him immediately!
Afterwards, Shen Wen smiled and said to Shen Lan: "Brother, please don't embarrass me! It would be more difficult for me to kill you with my own hands than to take my own life!"
Shen Lan clasped her fists and said, "I will not embarrass the Queen Mother!"
Shen Huan smiled and said nothing more, and told him: "By the way, Xichao has booked a seat at Fuman Building to celebrate your safe return, so you can go! Lao Shi and Xiao Wumian are also there, and Xiao Wumian is also a rare person. I think you should be able to talk to the four of you, but they are my capable assistants, people who are called 'rear party members' in the DPRK!"
Her tone was self-deprecating. Shen Lan knew that the Queen Mother's power was too great and would inevitably affect the rights of the young emperor. The emperor was still young and could not have much influence. If the emperor personally ruled in the future, but everyone listened to the Queen Mother, I was afraid that this The country is about to be in danger
Shen Lan went to the banquet and saw Lao Shi and Xiao Wumian, whom he had not seen for a long time. After talking with each other, he really felt that Xiao Wumian was a talent. The topic somehow came to Shen Huan. Lao Shi sighed, Said: "Ah Huan still can't forget the fourth brother, and is still sending people to look for the fourth brother's body at Huitou Cliff. But, as everyone knows, it can be found anywhere! Alas!"
Everyone fell into silence, especially Xi Chao, who looked very unhappy. Shen Lan's face turned pale again and asked: "Is Ah Hu really... like this?"
Xiao Wumian said: "Yes, the late emperor's body could not be found. She even thought that the late emperor might still be alive. In short...she has been thinking about the late emperor all day long. She is really afraid that something will happen to her one day."
Several people fell silent again, and the previous atmosphere was gone. Sitting down again made them feel sad. It was better to leave early. So the four of them said goodbye and went home. Seeing that the other three people had gone back to their homes, Shen Lan looked at He followed them away, but headed in the opposite direction - the palace.
Shen Han heard that Shen Lan wanted to see her again, and was a little strange, but she still let him in. As soon as Shen Lan came in, she knelt down straight in front of Shen Han and said, "Ahan, I have something very important to tell you. "
It was night, Zhao'er was reading a book, Shen Huan walked in quietly, holding a bowl of bird's nest in her hand. Seeing Zhao'er's frown, she always felt that this child's mind was different from ordinary people's, and that he was much precocious than ordinary children. Putting the bird's nest on the table, Zhao'er looked up and said with a smile: "It turns out it's the Queen Mother. Oh, I can just let the servants do the work. Why do I need the Queen Mother to deliver it myself?"
Shen Huan smiled and said: "The Queen Mother misses Zhao'er, so it's good to come and see Zhao'er studying, but don't be too tired. Your body and bones are still small now. If you use them all now, I'm afraid you will grow longer." It’s not good if it’s too big!”
Zhao'er put down the book in his hand and said: "How can I be so fragile, let alone my mother's bird's nest! After I eat it, my bones will only become stronger!"
Shen Wen watched him finish the bird's nest with unblinking eyes, and the smile on her lips slowly became comfortable, and she said: "Zhao'er, do you know what were the first two words you spoke when you were a child? "
Zhao'er smiled and said: "It's called Father, Queen. You've said it eight hundred times, Mother."
Shen Huan hurriedly asked: "Well, do you miss your father? How about I go get him back?"
Zhao'er looked at her steadily and said: "Mother, I know you miss your father very much, but...Mother, I will send you back to rest first. It's too late, so don't think too much."
Shen Huan shook his head numbly and said: "No need, the queen mother will go back by herself."
Zhaoer watched her leave worriedly. As soon as Shen Huan returned to his dormitory, he immediately invited Xi Chao over. Shen Huan handed him the note he had prepared in his hand. He opened it strangely and ate it immediately. Startled, he quickly asked: "Ah Huan, what are you doing?"
Shen Huan smiled and said: "I'm going to find Xichen. If I haven't come back in two months, I will announce to the public that I have passed away!"
"Ah Huan, you are crazy!"
"I'm not crazy. Listen to me, Xi Chao. Xi Chen is not dead. My brother told me that he saved him!" Shen Huan looked at Xi Chao, her black pupils like bright stars in the sky.
………………I am the dividing line in the finale………………
Xichao, I'm sorry, please forgive my selfishness. I can no longer keep my promise to you. Although we can see each other and be together every day, we dare not go beyond the constraints of ethics. From the moment I was captured by Xichen, We are destined to have a relationship between uncle and sister-in-law. There is no possibility of returning to the past. Since we have missed it, let everything go! Since it is no longer possible, then let everything go!
Suddenly a horse drove up from Qingfeng Col, carrying a woman in casual clothes wearing a light pink gauze dress. As the horse ran, her black hair fluttered in the air, and her clothes seemed to be so light that they could fly. Arriving in front of a locust tree forest, she dismounted, threw off the reins, and strolled deeper into the forest.
Deep in the dense forest, the smooth sound of the piano could be faintly heard. Following the sound of the piano, the petals of the locust flowers that were blown off from the locust tree fell to the ground. Some of them floated on the woman's body, and were blown by the wind, and then flew again. The white petals gradually floated more and more, and the woman seemed to be in the rain of white flowers. All of this was as beautiful as if she were deep in a dream.
Gradually reaching the end, the dense forest suddenly became empty. There was a piece of green grass. In the open space, there was a man in white sitting in a wheelchair. There was a piano on the wheelchair. The man's slender fingers slowly moved on the piano, gracefully. Music flows from his fingertips
Shen Wen walked over, stood behind him, and said softly: "I have never seen you playing the piano, and I didn't know you could play the piano so well."
The man tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "So, if you can hear it more often in the future, won't you like it very much?"
There were tears in Shen Huan's eyes, and she said softly: "Yes, I like it very much." She suddenly went over and hugged him, murmuring: "Xichen...I..." I thought you were dead, I thought this I will never see you again in my life. I promise you to live a good life. Look, how good my life is! I listen to you, don’t I?
Xichen patted her hand gently. Shen Huan felt that his hand was still very flexible and warm, but his legs...
Xichen smiled lightly and said: "I fell from Huitou Cliff. I'm lucky that I didn't die. But I broke my knees below. I can't move anymore, but I can still move above my knees."
Shen Wen held his hand tightly and said: "It doesn't matter, I will push you from now on and I will be your legs."
The two hugged each other tightly, and the sound of their conversation could still be faintly heard.
"Hey, why don't you come back to the palace with me? I will be the Queen Mother and you will be the Supreme Emperor. The Emperor can have many concubines, but the Supreme Emperor can only have one Queen Mother!"
"Well? Isn't there still a concubine?"
"you dare!"
"Ah... it hurts so much. How dare I... Since we can be together, why do we care where we go? It's the same inside and outside the palace. I still want to focus on being with you and have a lot of children with you!"
"How can you have a baby with me in this condition?"
"Didn't I tell you? You can still move above the knees. If you don't believe it, I'll let you try it now."
"Ah, no……"

(End of the book) (PS: It may feel too hasty, but now, it’s time to end. As for whether they have returned to the palace, it’s up to everyone to think whatever they want, leaving room for conjecture.
The next book will try to be about time travel, and the style will be more relaxed and humorous. I hope everyone will support it!)
