The lame old woman in the house heard the noise and limped out.
Seeing Shen Wei being stopped by Prince Yan at the door, the old woman said helplessly: "Oh concubine, I have already told you that the prince will be fine. If you run to the city, it will distract the prince."
Everyone thought that Shen Wei ran out to find King Yan.
King Yan felt pain in his heart. He held Shen Wei's fair hand and said in a low voice, "Be obedient. I will be able to stabilize the situation."
Shen Wei's nose felt sore and tears rolled down instantly.
If her skirt had not been caught on the rose thorns, she might have managed to escape by now.
But it was more than just the rose thorns that hooked her.
"I know." Shen Wei lowered her head sullenly, "The situation is chaotic, and I am worried about the prince..."
King Yan stretched out his long arms and embraced Shen Wei again. He smelled the faint fragrance of Shen Wei's hair, and his inexplicably flustered heart suddenly calmed down.
The city of Yanjing was in chaos and the Prince of Yan was unable to cope with it. But for some reason this morning, he suddenly wanted to see Shen Wei very much, and the thought was almost uncontrollable, so he risked his life to ride his horse here.
The King of Yan sent Cai Lian, Cai Ping, Ji Xiang De Shun and others, and left four tiger guards to guard the yard. He did not linger, and looked deeply at Shen Wei: “Wait for this king to come back.”
He led his men and rode away quickly.
Shen Wei stood at the door, watching King Yan lead his troops away and disappear over the edge of the horizon. She sighed deeply and reluctantly accepted her unknown fate.
Something had gone wrong with her original life plan, but it wasn't a hopeless situation, and she still had time to make a new plan.
No matter how many twists and turns there are, they cannot take away your lofty ambitions; as long as you are alive, you will eventually succeed.
Cai Lian and Cai Ping continued to take care of Chen Wei considerately and meticulously as always.
Cai Ping smiled and told Shen Wei: "Master, don't worry, the three young masters are all under the care of the Queen and are heavily protected by the Imperial Guards, so nothing will happen."
After a pause, Cai Ping said with envy: "The prince is so good to the master. Even though Yanjing is in such a mess, the prince still came to see the master in person. This kind of friendship is really rare."
Shen Wei smiled but said nothing, her heart remaining calm.
Sincerity is the least valuable. She cannot pin her future on a man's favor, nor does she want to live at the mercy of others.
When love is deep, I will naturally love you and pamper you; once love fades, I will kill you.
Life is long, who can guarantee that King Yan will always love her, Shen Wei?
It's useless to rely on others, you have to create your own future.
"Cai Lian, get the brush, ink, paper and inkstone." Chen Wei turned and walked into the house, her eyes glimpsed at the lush roses in the yard, "Cut down all the roses in the yard, they're an eyesore."
The four treasures of the study were delivered quickly.
Caiping ran to the small kitchen to make a nourishing and replenishing soup for Chen Wei, Deshun and Jixiang cleaned the house, and the tiger guards patrolled outside the yard. Shen Wei sat at the pearwood desk, spread out the papers, and began to make a new plan for the palace's survival.
When Prince Yan ascends the throne, Shen Wei will definitely enter the palace as a concubine. But once she enters the palace, Shen Wei will face many difficulties.
The Imperial Palace—a place that is more vast and more terrifying than Prince Yan’s Mansion. The wall is so high that no one can get out. Men and women are trapped in it, scheming for power, and every corner is stained with blood and calculations.
Shen Wei's mind raced as she began to list the difficulties she faced on rice paper:
First, there must be a large number of new people entering the palace. These women are of noble birth and have various means of competing for favor, so the heart of Prince Yan may be divided among them.
Second, Chen Wei is the most favored in the palace. After entering the palace, she will definitely be targeted by both new and old people.
Third, Shen Wei’s three children were young and vulnerable, and Shen Wei’s vitality was severely damaged after giving birth, and her body aches had not yet subsided. Your health is the capital for struggle. If you are in poor health, how can you have the energy to fight others?
Fourth, the princess will become the queen and the mother of the country. When the new emperor ascends the throne, in order to maintain political stability and leave a good reputation among the people, he must not neglect the queen mother. If the princess gains power, Shen Wei will be the first target to be suppressed.
Fifth, there are many princes and the competition for the throne is fierce. Shen Wei had to find a way for her son to inherit the throne.
The future is full of difficulties. Shen Wei clutched the brush, she was not fighting alone, she also had the Queen as her helper.
The queen suppressed Princess Yan and promoted Shen Wei everywhere. This also means that the queen is on Shen Wei's side and intends to support Shen Wei.
With the Queen as her helper and the love of Prince Yan for her, Shen Wei's future days in the palace will not be too difficult.
Shen Wei breathed a sigh of relief and began to rethink her new life plan.
She will continue to roll, she will fight!
As I said, if you don’t fight or compete, you will have nothing. Your destiny is in your own hands, and your future is created by your own efforts!
In the next three months, Prince Yan never appeared in Shen Wei's yard again. The Kingdom of Daqing was shrouded in dark clouds and turmoil, and the city of Yanjing was shrouded in gloom.
The hot summer passes, autumn goes and winter comes.
As early winter approaches, a new sun slowly rises in Daqing Kingdom.
...
This year's winter came early, and the weather was freezing cold. After the funeral of the emperor and the crown prince, the Ministry of Works sent a number of craftsmen to begin renovating the damaged buildings and roads on the streets of Yanjing and washing away the dirty bloodstains on the ground.
The rebels of Prince Heng fled outside the Great Wall, the new emperor was about to ascend the throne, and the city of Yanjing was slowly being repaired and gradually regaining its former prosperity.
The streets were cold in winter, and soldiers pushed a row of men and women out of the city gate. It was a cold winter day and the prisoners were thinly dressed. The men had heavy wooden shackles on their shoulders and the women had their hands tied with cold iron chains. Some had numb expressions while others were crying bitterly.
"What are the origins of those exiled people?"
"The rebels in the Zhennan Marquis's mansion colluded with Prince Heng to cause rebellion. All adult men and women were exiled to Lingnan to do hard labor, and young children were consigned to slavery for life."
