Du Shuyan also stood up. She was wearing a lighter-colored dress today. When she stood up, a breeze blew, and her shawl and hair fluttered playfully.
She raised her hand to brush away the hair that had flown across her lips, then opened her mouth to call out to the Second Prince, "Second Prince, are you in such a hurry to go back?"
The second prince was stunned. Could it be that A Yan was still sad? He hesitated for a moment, walked in front of Du Shuyan, and then raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can lean on my shoulder, but you can only lean on it for a while, while there is no one around."
Du Shuyan opened her mouth slightly and asked the doubts in her heart.
"Why can you only lean on it for a while? Your Highness, are you afraid of being seen?"
"Of course not," the Second Prince explained hastily, fearing he might misunderstand. "Lord Du and Madam Du must be feeling bad after losing a daughter. Besides, they just found you. If they saw you and me being so close, they'd probably think I was trying to steal you away."
Although he had this idea.
He just found his granddaughter, and now he shows interest in A Yan. Will Lord Du like him?
Definitely not. Just now when he was in the room, he felt that Lord Du was looking at him. Maybe he would ask about the relationship between him and A Yan later.
"Your Highness is very considerate,"
Du Shuyan praised sincerely.
How could she not like the Second Prince who put himself in her shoes and considered her?
After what happened in Shen Huai, her grandparents would definitely be very picky about her future husband.
What the second prince said makes sense.
"Then I'll be leaving first," the prince waved his hand and turned to leave.
He finally understood what Luo'er meant when she said that they might be able to be together after A Yan regained his identity.
Why did he ignore the word "possibly" at that time?
It all came down to Chen Huai. If it weren't for Chen Huai, he would have been able to marry A Yan after this matter was over.
…
Du Shuyan watched the second prince leave and returned to the house, where she was indeed interrogated.
"Yan'er, do you know the Second Prince?"
As soon as Lord Du finished speaking, Mrs. Du gave him a fierce look.
No, why is Madam glaring at him?
Lord Du withdrew his gaze, it was obvious that Madam was also curious.
"I know him. The Second Prince helped me before."
Du Shuyan recounted the story of how she ended up in Fengyue Tower.
"So the second prince is a pretty good person." Mrs. Du said with a smile.
Lord Du disagreed, "What's good about it?"
If it's okay, will you go to Fengyue Tower?
He felt that there was something going on between the Second Prince and Yan'er. Now it seems that he was right. Could it be that the Second Prince had fallen for Yan'er?
No, he had just found his granddaughter and hadn't spoiled her yet. She couldn't be abducted by the second prince.
"Yan'er, you are the only one left for grandpa and grandma."
He didn't know the Second Prince. What if he was another Shen Huai? He had failed to protect his daughter before, and now he couldn't let Yan'er follow in his footsteps.
"Grandfather," Du Shuyan thought now was not the time to talk about this, so he changed the subject and said, "I'll go see Mom after this is over."
…
On the other side, Prince Yueqing and Shen Yu returned to the palace.
Shen Yu hung his head and stirred his fingers uneasily.
The prince took her back to the palace, and no one knew how he would deal with her.
Prince Yueqing stopped, turned around and looked at Shen Yu who was lost in thought, frowned and called her.
"My Lord, is there something I need from you?"
Shen Yu came back to his senses and followed King Yueqing.
"Since my royal brother has allowed you to visit your parents, if you wish to go, I will have someone arrange it."
It's true that when you feel sleepy, someone will send you a pillow. He thought he had to beg his brother to let Shen Yu go to see Shen Huai, but he didn't expect that his brother would take the initiative to bring it up.
My brother is really not fit to be the emperor as he is so kind to the daughter of a guilty minister.
"Are you serious?" Shen Yu's voice was a little surprised. She really wanted to meet Shen Huai and Du Lin. If she remembered correctly, Du Shuyan's mother's dowry was still in her mother's hands.
She went to see the two of them not only to laugh at their jokes, but also to find out how much the dowry was.
Once this is over, she can take the silver and escape from the palace to a place where no one knows her.
"Then let's do it tomorrow," Prince Yueqing frowned. The night is long and dreams are many. He couldn't wait too long.
Shen Yu didn't dare to refute and nodded in response.
…
The next day.
It was the day when Shen Yu went to visit Shen Huai and Shen Huai, and it was also the day when the imperial examination results were announced.
The King of Yueqing, who was paying close attention to the two things, immediately asked someone to check the list.
The subordinate who checked the list came back quickly and told the result to King Yueqing, who laughed out loud after hearing it.
"In that case, we can kill this abandoned child, Chen Huai."
I was a little worried that this person would fail the exam, but now I have no worries at all.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already made arrangements. Shen Yu is probably on the carriage with food now, and I will send Shen Huai and the other two on their way."
Shen Yu, mentioned by the two, has already arrived at the Dali Temple. Because the emperor specifically ordered that Shen Yu go to the cell where Shen Huai and Du Lin were imprisoned without any hindrance.
When Shen Yu looked into the cell with a smile on his face, his smile froze, and then he let out a scream.
The jailer who was originally planning to walk aside walked over unhappily after hearing the noise.
"What are you howling for?"
Shen Yu raised his finger and pointed at Shen Huai and Du Lin, who were lying on the ground with wide eyes in the cell, and said in a trembling voice: "Dead...dead."
The jailer quickly took out the key to open the door and squatted down to check on the two men. There were no injuries on their bodies, but they were no longer breathing.
The other jailers were attracted by Shen Yu's voice, and they knew something was wrong.
One of them was planning to go find Lord Du, and when he reached the door, he saw Lord Du and Yang Wen walking in.
"My lord, this is bad."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lord Du walked in quickly. The jailers saw him and Yang Wen bowed and stepped aside.
The jailer who brought Shen Yu in told him what he knew.
Lord Du looked at Shen Yu who was stunned beside him. Shen Yu tightly grasped the food box in his hand, and feeling Lord Du's gaze, he quickly explained.
"Not me. They were already dead when I arrived."
Shen Yu didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment. When she came, she intended to ridicule Shen Huai and Du Lin, but when she saw the two of them lying motionless on the ground.
But I couldn't feel happy in my heart, and even felt a little sore in my eyes.
She clearly realized that she would be alone in this world and had no relatives.
"Take her away first," Lord Du asked someone to take Shen Yu away and asked Yang Wen to check the body to see if there was any clue.
Yang Wen walked into the cell, squatted down and checked the two people, but naturally found nothing.
"Sir, it seems that only the coroner can reveal the cause of death."
Judging from the expressions of the two men, it was indeed murder, but no wounds could be found.
"Sir, we have been guarding here and have not seen anyone break in."
The jailer, fearing he would be held accountable, spoke up.
Thinking of the emperor's attention to this matter, Lord Du decided to report it to the emperor first.
"This matter is of great importance. Report it to the Emperor first."
When the emperor learned about this, he subconsciously thought that it was Prince Yueqing who took action.
