By the time Shen Shu and Lin Zhi left the hospital together, it was already dusk. Shen Shu was tired after a long day and began to rush home, so she raised her legs and got on the carriage first.
Lin Zhi also got into the carriage behind her.
In the carriage, for the first time, Shen Shu didn't take the initiative to hold Lin Zhi's hand, nor did she look at what he was doing. Instead, she lowered her eyes and used her right hand to feel the pulse of her left hand, feeling the trembling. to the fingertips.
Weak, yet vital.
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and studied her carefully for a long time. Then he seemed to be tired of studying, so he put down his wrist, turned his head again, and looked at him pitifully.
He really knows how to use local materials.
After thinking for a moment, he handed his wrist to her.
She excitedly took his pulse again, and he could feel the slight itch caused by her fingertips touching his pulse.
Tsk, the sultry spirit is indeed a sultry spirit.
It was obviously just his wrist that was touched, but it was so itchy.
Shen Shu felt Lin Zhi's pulse carefully, and then studied her own for a while. She could clearly feel that Lin Zhi's pulse was much weaker than hers, perhaps due to poor health.
Her eyes darkened.
At this moment, the carriage stopped and the palace arrived.
Normally, when returning home, Lin Zhi would get off the car first and then pick her up. Today, Lin Zhi couldn't bear to disturb her and continued to study. He looked up at her and said, "We can continue studying for a while."
Shen Shu shook her head, "Go home first."
The two got off the carriage together, and Lin Zhi faced the west. As soon as he raised his eyes, he felt the annoying sunlight falling into his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes in displeasure and turned his head slightly.
At this time, the setting sun had already set very low, so as soon as he turned his head, he saw that the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, making their shadows very long.
At this time, Shen Shu pulled him around and entered the door. The shadow happened to fall in front of his eyes, and he lowered his eyes carefully to take a look.
The two shadows were constantly overlapping and separating as they followed their footsteps.
The longer shadow belongs to him. He is a whole head taller than Shen Shu. He usually lowers his head to kiss her.
At this moment, Shen Shu suddenly reached out and held his hand.
He then lowered his eyes to look at the hands held by the two of them, then continued to turn his eyes to look at the shadows of the two of them, and then held Shen Shu's hand tightly.
Well, that shorter shadow is also his.
…
Prince's Mansion.
Since the last time rumors spread in Beijing that "the emperor is tyrannical, the prince is wise, the emperor abdicates, and the prince ascends the throne", the prince has been imprisoned in the prince's mansion.
The queen was extremely anxious in the palace and wanted to send a message to her son every day. However, the emperor also became suspicious of her at this time. She did not dare to make any big move in front of the emperor and could only place her hope on those soothing incense.
The prince who was imprisoned in the prince's mansion was not in a hurry. At this time, he was sitting in the pavilion of the prince's mansion, playing chess with the old eunuch who was randomly captured by the mansion.
The old eunuch had never played chess with the prince, and he was trembling every step he took. However, the prince's overwhelming momentum did not give him any chance to breathe.
After several games were played, the old eunuch was about to collapse on the chessboard. The prince then raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's chess skills are superb and his moves are fierce. The old slave and the Crown Prince are scared."
Unexpectedly, the prince sneered, "I'm afraid you have never seen a truly superb chess player."
"Before I was fifteen years old, I always thought of myself as a chess genius. It wasn't until I was fifteen that I met a man."
"His name is Lu Shifei, and he is the uncle of the current King of Bei'an. He was twenty-six years old at the time. He played chess with the Taifu whom I admired, but the Taifu retreated steadily and was unable to fight back."
"After I saw it, I was amazed and ashamed. I never dared to call myself a genius again."
There was a lot of regret in his brows, and the old eunuch said tentatively, "Since there is such a genius in this world, His Highness should invite him to come to the Prince's Mansion to play chess with His Highness."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the prince's gloomy voice reaching his ears, "I can't invite you."
"He's long dead."
The old eunuch boldly raised his eyes to look at the prince's face, and then... he saw... that face was full of sinister looks, looking gloomily at the chessboard in front of him where he had won a great victory.
He was so frightened that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time...
Soon, the prince returned to his usual appearance and waved his hand for the old eunuch to go down.
…
October in Yan State is destined to be an extraordinary month.
After the prince was imprisoned, he decided that since the folk rumors had led to him and made the emperor suspicious, he simply continued to expand his influence and found a few storytellers to spread all the wise things he had done and the stupid things the emperor had done.
go out.
The clamor for replacing the prince became louder and louder, so loud that the emperor could not help but send troops to suppress it, while discussing with the courtiers every day the matter of deposing the prince.
The princeling party, Prince Ning's party, and the emperor's party in the DPRK discussed each other with each other for three days and three nights but failed to come up with an outcome. So on the fourth day, everyone decided to ask the once powerful King of Bei'an to come out and solve the problem.
In the Prince's Palace of Bei'an, Lin Zhi was standing at the door, frowning as he listened to Chang Ning's report.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has sent many courtiers to invite you to come to court to discuss matters."
Lin Zhi became a little irritated when he heard these nonsense, and couldn't help but look back at Shen Shu who was studying seriously. After looking at it for a long time, she got better, but his face was still impatient, "I won't go."
Chang Ning was a little surprised by his decision. He glanced thoughtfully at Shen Shu who was reading a book and said, "Yes."
Lin Zhi said "Yeah", then returned to the house, pinched Shen Shu's waist with both hands, held her on his lap and sat firmly, put his head on her shoulder and asked her, "Do you remember?"
Shen Shu didn't remember it and didn't want to be punished, so she deliberately closed the book, turned her head and hugged his neck to change the subject, "They called you, why didn't you go?"
Lin Zhi lowered his head and said, "I'm very busy..."
"What are you busy with?" Shen Shu asked curiously. Lin Zhi had been spending time with her every day recently, and it was hard to tell what he was busy with.
Unexpectedly, the other party thought for a moment and then said seriously, "I'm busy preparing for pregnancy and giving birth to a baby."
Shen Shu's face suddenly turned red. She raised her hand and hit him. She stopped hugging his neck and turned her head to continue reading.
Lin Zhi looked at her for a while, her face was obviously red, but she still pretended to continue reading, and suddenly smiled.
It was obviously her who was clamoring to give him a baby every day, pestering him to kiss him and begging him to come in every day.
As a result, every time it ends, he turns his back and refuses to recognize anyone.
What a heartless person.
However, he had never been able to do anything about her ruthlessness. He only raised his hand and patiently explained to her when she saw her brows furrowed while she was reading.
