Chapter 260: The Pearl is Covered in Dust, Regret



He had thought about everything and had considered promoting the Minister of War, the Minister of Personnel, and even the Minister of Works to be the prime minister.

But I didn't expect that the person who was second to none and above ten thousand people turned out to be the inconspicuous ninth prince Tiancan!

They were just concerned that the Ninth Prince had a crippled leg and could not ascend the throne.

But they forgot that although he could not ascend the throne, he could still enter the government!

At the moment, the Ninth Prince has become the one who cannot ascend to the throne but has overwhelming power over the world. Any prince who wants to ascend to the throne has to win him over!

In a sense, Rong Yan replaced him as the prime minister!

Although the Prime Minister of Wenyuan Pavilion is only of the fifth rank, Rong Yan is a prince!

What is the difference between these two combined and being a first-rank official?

Shen Cangyun regretted it so much when he thought about how he had been determined to marry Shen Ruyi to Gu Qinghua and even went so far as to fall out with Shen Ruyi for this!

Wrong!

He was completely wrong. He should have followed Rong Yan's lead and married Shen Ruyi to Rong Yan!

However, the story is not over yet.

The guard added, "Not only that, the emperor also announced another thing at the morning court today."

"Starting from the day after tomorrow, Ziwei Fuxing will be renamed Rong Zhaoyang and will be appointed as the seal-bearer in front of the emperor. He will help the emperor to read memorials, draft imperial edicts, and hold the imperial seal..."

Shen Cangyun only felt a "boom" in his head, and it exploded from the inside!

Just now he and Shen Yu were still fantasizing that Shen Ruyi wouldn't be able to survive outside for many days, and would become a discarded pawn and eventually have to return to the Shen family.

Unexpectedly, while the Shen family declined, Ruyi rose rapidly!

He holds the seal in front of the emperor, pre-reads memorials, drafts imperial edicts, and holds the jade seal. Such great power is unprecedented and unparalleled!

"Your Majesty, is this... going to allow her to participate in politics?"

Shen Yu reacted and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. "How is this possible?"

"For so many years, the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and women were not allowed to enter the court. How come Shen Ruyi..."

Is the sun rising from the west, or is red rain about to fall from the sky?

"Everyone outside is saying that the eldest lady is a lucky star, and it is only natural for her to accompany the emperor."

The guard had already decided to leave the Shen family, so his tone was cold, as if he was talking about someone else's family, or more like some kind of cold sarcasm.

"She also said that the emperor is personally training her. The real Ziwei Fuxing should be the patron saint of Northern Qi. One day, she will be the center of attention."

Shen Yu staggered when he heard that.

Shen Cangyun was also stunned.

Why?

Why?

The six of them, father and sons, are all trapped in the haze of the past and unable to climb out. Once they fall, they will be crushed into the dust and mud. Why can Shen Ruyi soar to the sky and win the favor of the emperor?

Shen Cangyun was completely unwilling.

But the guard said, "There are rumors outside that the young lady can memorize everything she reads, whether it's a medical book, a sword manual, or anything else. She only needs to read it twice to memorize it."

"People all say that she is a true genius, but she is buried in the Shen family."

“…”

Shen Cangyun felt as if he was hit by a stick when he heard this.

He remembered!

When the children were young, all the sons went to school, but because Shen Ruyi was a daughter, he didn't let anyone go.

But once, he tested his sons on "Li Sao".

At that time, Shen Luo, Shen Xiao and Shen Qi had already started learning. After reciting for seven or eight days in a row, they still couldn't remember a single word.

Shen Ruyi was the youngest. She didn’t have a book in her hand and was not asked to recite, but she recited it anyway.

When I asked her, she said innocently, "I listened to my fifth brother reciting the text two or three times."

At that time, Shen Cangyun didn't pay any attention to it. He just told his sons to study hard and not to be defeated by his daughter.

Later, when the old beggar found Shen Ruyi and gave her the prescription, Shen Ci complained that he was the one who really wanted to study medicine, so why did the old beggar give the prescription to Shen Ruyi but not to him?

At that time, Shen Cangyun also found it puzzling.

At this moment, he realized that the old beggar had already discovered Shen Ruyi's extraordinaryness!

He is so extraordinary that even his five sons combined cannot compare to him!

She was a genius, but was trapped in the Shen family and became a frog in a well. The father and son were complacent and felt that Shen Ruyi enjoyed the glory and wealth in the Shen family and owed Shen Jiaojiao!

Only today did they realize that the clowns were father and son from the beginning!

Shen Ruyi was born different from them!

Since she was a child, she has never been jealous of anyone, always greeting everyone with a smile, and happily sharing what she has with people around her. That's because her heart is pure.

But they think they are stupid.

Now, all the good things that Shen Ruyi had received were due rewards.

After leaving the Shen family, her brilliance was dazzling in everyone's eyes.

But the guard said again: "The people also said that the Shen family is just the mud stuck on the young lady. Once the mud is removed, the young lady's true brilliance will be revealed."

This is really heartbreaking.

Then, the guard said, "I am here to say goodbye. I will not serve in the Shen family anymore."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Come back here!"

Shen Yu came back to his senses, his chest trembling with anger, and he felt extremely suffocated, "You are just a servant, and you dare to say such words!"

The servant turned his head and said, "Master Shen, the Shen family is no longer what it used to be. In the past, you and Shen Jiaojiao worked together to confuse right and wrong, and everyone in the family was accomplices in order to survive."

"Now, I should repent for what I have done."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without even looking at Shen Yu and Shen Cangyun.

Shen Yu was so angry that he collapsed and punched the door frame, "This is too much!"

I have a lot of anger but nowhere to vent it.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound behind me.

When I looked back, I saw Shen Cangyun had fallen to the ground at some point, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and fainted.

"Father! Father!"

Shen Yu was shocked, and rushed forward to help the man up, shouting.

But Shen Cangyun had his eyes closed, his limbs convulsing, and he didn't react at all.

Shen Yu subconsciously shouted, "Someone come! Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!"

A maid's low voice came from the door, "Master, things are different now. The master is no longer qualified to enter the court, and we can no longer invite the imperial physician."

Shen Yu felt as if a basin of ice water was poured on his head.

He was cold all over, slumped on the ground, and said dejectedly, "Please call the doctor."

"yes."

The maid went out, but she was no longer as diligent as before.

Who doesn’t regret it?

Not only the master of the Shen family regretted it, but the servants also regretted having followed Shen Jiaojiao and having hurt Shen Ruyi in that way.

Now, Shen Ruyi has broken free from the quagmire and soared into the sky.

The Shen family...

Inside the house.

Shen Yu sat on the cold ground for a long time before he got up and helped Shen Cangyun onto the bed. However, his heart was cold, as if the entire winter had invaded his soul.

The end of the year is approaching and some people are already setting off firecrackers outside.

But what about him?

Several brothers passed away or were sent to prison, the father became seriously ill, the servants scattered, and only an empty shell with leaks on all sides was left.

What should he do?

He looked towards the direction of the Golden Palace and thought of Shen Ruyi's new name: Rong Zhaoyang!

The bright and scorching sun shines so brightly!

But he rose to the top step by step by stepping on the faces of everyone in the Shen family!
