"Except for the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one has the courage to do this."

Rong Yan's face was gloomy. "She is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Outsiders dare not take action. She has a hairpin on her head given by the late emperor. People who know about it also dare not take action. As for the rest of the people, they have no motive to take action."

"The place where she fainted is exactly the only way from the Prime Minister's Mansion to you. In other words, she was injured in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but no one treated her, so she rushed to find you as soon as possible."

"But I didn't expect that I would faint on the road."

“…”

The old beggar clenched his fists and said, "Some people in the Shen family are really tired of living."

"Let's talk about the Shen family's affairs later. How is she?" Rong Yan felt that the little hand in his palm was still cold and he couldn't warm it up no matter how hard he tried.

His heart sank.

"It's all right."

The old beggar took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, His Highness brought her here in time. Otherwise, she would have died if she had been frozen in this icy and snowy place for another hour or two. But now she has lost so much blood that she will probably need to be well nourished even if she wakes up."

"Leave this to me."

Rong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made up his mind, "I should marry her as soon as possible. This is not a solution. There is always something between us, and I can't protect her closely."

The old beggar looked at him and said, "Your Highness has been hiding for so many years. Wouldn't it be too risky to show up so soon?"

"It doesn't matter."

The man narrowed his eyes and made up his mind.

What's the point of hiding if you can't protect her?

The old beggar nodded and looked at Shen Ruyi, "However, this little girl is also very opinionated. We should wait until she wakes up before asking for her opinion on some matters. Otherwise, it is easy to make things worse."

Rong Yan nodded, "I understand. She is being manipulated in the Shen family. If I continue to insist on making decisions for her, she will feel insecure."

"I will cooperate with her."

Now, just waiting for someone to wake up.

Rong Yan reached out and touched her face, his eyes reddened and he almost cried again.

The old beggar narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky that had just cleared up in the distance, "Shen Cangyun has taken himself too seriously these years. From now on... don't blame me for not cherishing our friendship."

"Mother..."

From the bed, a hoarse voice with a crying tone was faintly heard.

Rong Yan was heartbroken, and didn't care about the mess in the court. He quickly leaned over and hugged the person in his arms, choking with sobs, "I'm here."

"Mother..."

Shen Ruyi reached out her hands in a daze and hooked them around his neck, tears pouring out like a tide, "Mother, Mother..."

Then, I broke down and cried completely.

Her body began to tremble, and she murmured in extreme pain, "Mother, it hurts so much, it hurts so much...it hurts so much!"

Rong Yan's tears blurred his eyes.

Mixed with hers, his voice trembled, "Don't cry... Ah... Mother is here, I promise, I swear, I will never let you get hurt again!"

"Mother..."

The woman was soothed, pressed against her face, and fell into sleep again.

The old beggar shed tears as he watched this scene and sighed, "Ziwei Fuxing, it's not that easy..."

…

At the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Shen Yu stood in the study, staring at Shen Xiao with anger, "I asked you to come here so that you could talk to Ruyi nicely and coax her into marrying into the Gu family! But you just stabbed her with a sword! Do you want this family to break up?"

He knew that his younger brother was reckless.

But I didn't know he was so reckless and brainless!

Shen Xiao still looked unconvinced, wiping the blade of his sword and said, "Let's break up, it's unlucky enough for someone like her to stay at home! Besides, isn't it Jiaojiao that Gu Qinghua likes? It's just an arranged marriage anyway, it doesn't matter who goes. Just let Jiaojiao marry him!"

"It's you who are still spoiling her!"

"Otherwise, how could she have the guts to go to the Imperial Hospital and cause trouble? If you don't dare to deal with her, I will! I will bear any consequences!"

Shen Xiao pondered over Shen Ruyi's last words and attitude, and couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, "She even broke off her friendship with me, who is she!"

My heart began to tremble slightly.

Before coming, he brought her a gift from Pinghu.

Although it is not as much or as good as what was given to Shen Jiaojiao, it is also prepared for her younger sister.

She is fine. She wants to break off relations directly after not seeing her for half a year!

"Since she wants to break off the relationship, then let's do it!"

"Whoever keeps on doing this is a dog!"

“…”

Shen Yu was so angry that his temples were about to explode after hearing what he said. "I can't make sense to you. When my father comes back soon, I'll see how he'll deal with you!"

However, Shen Cangyun had already entered the house.

Gu Qinghua told him what happened in Xifeng Courtyard. He was filled with rage. When he entered the room and saw Shen Xiao still had the same attitude, he was so angry that he slapped him in the face on the spot, "Rebellious son! Shut up!"

Shen Cangyun also practiced martial arts, and he did not hold back after this slap.

Shen Xiao was beaten so hard that he turned around. He came back to his senses and said aggrievedly: "Dad, why are you like this? You beat me when I just came back?"

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

There is no mother at home, and the sons have deep feelings for their father Shen Cangyun and are very dependent on him.

Shen Cangyun rarely takes action.

Shen Xiao was beaten for the first time, and he was inevitably sad. "Besides, what did I do wrong? It was obviously Shen Ruyi who made life difficult for this family first..."

"Don't you know what you did wrong?"

Shen Cangyun was so angry that he laughed, "Do you know why the emperor dotes on Ying and Concubine Gui so much? That's because when Ying and Concubine Gui got married, the late emperor said that they were his own daughters! Now, the hairpin bestowed by the late emperor is worn on Shen Ruyi's head!"

"Even the emperor would calm down after seeing that hairpin! Now, what makes you think you can do anything to her?"

"You want all of us to be buried with you, right?"

Shen Cangyun was so angry that he slapped him again, "Do you know that you have ruined all our plans!"

Shen Xiao was stunned by the beating, and was also stunned by his words. He covered his face and finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He stuttered: "Dad, is this really that serious?"

He was a little confused, "But why is Shen Ruyi wearing that hairpin? She..."

Shen Cangyun took a deep breath.

He was almost crying because of his stupidity, "Because the Ninth Prince has set his sights on her! If you treat her like this now, once she marries the Ninth Prince, it will be the end of the Shen family!"

When he entered the palace today, he also tried to find out what Ying, the Imperial Concubine, and the Emperor meant.

As soon as Yinghe heard the wind, the emperor said directly: "Miss Shen is a lucky star. If she lives well, I will live well. If I live well, this country will be well."

What does this mean? Do I need to figure it out?

Now, his stupid son actually drew his sword and stabbed Shen Ruyi!

Shen Cangyun was confused and turned to ask Shen Yu, "Where is Ruyi? Did you call the imperial physician? How is she?"
