Although Chi Mu was a little worried about Shen Yuerong, he had to keep her first, "I'm just going to the palace to see His Majesty, and I'll be back after I finish talking. If you have anything to say, wait until I come back."
Shen Yuerong agreed, "Don't worry, when you leave, I will have someone lock the door. No matter how people shout outside, I will never open the door until you come back. How about that?"
After getting her promise, his anxious heart finally settled down a little.
"good."
Chi Mu brought Fang Mu into the palace, leaving Tao Hua and others behind.
"We are all tired after the long journey. I am also very tired. Why don't we go our separate ways and have a good sleep, and then have dinner together when he comes back?"
"Then I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."
Chen Yuerong held the hand of the impetuous Qinghua and said, "No need. There are naturally cooks in the kitchen to help. Go down and have a rest first. You have worked hard during this period."
They couldn't argue with Shen Yuerong, so they could only leave first.
Shen Yuerong lay on the bed, everything that had happened during this period echoing in her mind.
During this trip, the relationship between the two became much more harmonious.
Now that they are back in the capital, they might talk about their marriage again.
What if His Majesty keeps trying to stop their marriage by using Shen Yuerong's identity as a second marriage?
I was confused in my heart, but fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up again, it was completely dark outside. She groped her way to the table and used a tinder to light the room.
When I walked out the door, I saw Taohua who looked a little nervous.
"What is this doing?"
Shen Yuerong saw two groups of people in the yard who were at loggerheads with each other. She knew the other group.
"Commander Xu?"
Apart from Fang Mu, he was the one who had followed Chi Mu the longest. They should be acquainted with each other, and they would always draw their swords in their own yards.
"What is this for?"
Shen Yuerong walked in front of Taohua and stared at the person in front of her.
"I am escorting you out of the capital on the orders of the prince."
"I just came back, everything was fine, why are you sending me away again?"
Shen Yuerong felt a little dissatisfied and looked at the person in front of her, "It's not that I can't go with you, but you have to give me a cause and effect."
Commander Xu did not explain, but instead ordered his men to take action.
"This is the Shen family. The personal soldiers of the prince's palace are so presumptuous in my Shen family's house. Aren't you afraid that if the news gets out, all the ministers will impeach your prince in the morning court tomorrow?"
Although no one has cared about the Shen family's old house in recent years.
But this courtyard was once conferred by His Majesty himself, and even the plaque at the door was written by His Majesty himself. Naturally, it is much more valuable than an ordinary house.
"If you don't tell me the reason today, I won't go with you. I will even have you arrested."
"I am just an executor of the prince's order. Please don't embarrass me, Miss Shen."
"I didn't embarrass you."
She reached out and took the sword from Taohua's hand, turned around and put it against her neck.
"There are various reasons. If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask. But the sword has no shadow. Before you catch me, I will die from this sword. When that happens, you won't be able to explain, but it has nothing to do with me."
“Miss Shen, why do you have to do this? Everything the prince does is for your own good.”
Of course Shen Yuerong is too shy.
"Before he left this afternoon, he told me that he was only going to report to His Majesty and would be back soon, so I didn't need to worry too much. He would come back with me for dinner after waking up. Now it's already this hour, and he hasn't come back yet. Does that mean he has met with disaster?"
After all, he couldn't hide it from the person in front of him. Commander Xu knelt on the ground helplessly, "Wang Ye is indeed in trouble."
"What's going on? Tell me and we can solve it together."
"The subordinates don't know the details. The news was spread by Lord Fang Mu, who almost paid the price of his life. He just told the summer vacationers to quickly take Miss Shen out of Beijing. He didn't say anything else."
"The emperor set up the Hongmen Banquet. Was this banquet intended to kill him?"
Shen Yuerong thought about it and shook her head again.
It's not that simple.
"Go prepare a dress for me. I want to enter the palace."
“Miss Shen.”
Several people looked at her with some concern, their eyes full of reluctance.
"It is uncertain whether he is dead or alive now, and I will never live in vain. Even if you take me away, I will come back one day. It is better for me to take him away as well."
With Qinghua's help, Shen Yuerong changed into the clothes of a third-rank official that she had never worn before.
Looking at her in the mirror, Qinghua shed tears
"Miss, why bother... If you leave now, perhaps His Majesty will not..."
"This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the Crown Prince who kidnapped someone in the palace. The Crown Prince was too reckless after all. He never thought about what would happen to Your Majesty if I killed him."
Shen Yuerong entered the palace alone.
Soon he arrived at the door of the imperial study.
"Please inform the father-in-law that Shen Yuerong, the orphan of the Shen family, wants to see you."
"yes."
The eunuch went in to deliver the message, but the current emperor refused her request for an audience on the grounds that it was dark.
"It's getting late today, Miss Shen, please don't disturb His Majesty's rest. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it after the court tomorrow."
"Father-in-law."
Shen Yuerong reached out and grabbed the father-in-law who was about to leave, and put the silver and money in her hand into that man's hand.
"Let me ask you one more question. The prince entered the palace to petition during the day and has not returned home yet. Was he kept as a guest by His Majesty, or..."
“Your Majesty had a very pleasant conversation with the prince, so he kept the prince in the palace. Miss Shen does not need to worry.”
Shen Yuerong nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me, I will use this money to buy some tea for you."
The eunuch bowed very politely, then turned and left.
Shen Yuerong sighed, and finally let go of her worries.
After leaving the palace, he went to the prince's palace to see Fang Mu who was in a coma.
There was no healthy spot on Fang Mu's body now, and his body was covered in blood. Even though someone was helping to treat him, he looked lifeless.
"You are here."
Commander Xu saw Shen Yuerong and immediately came over.
"Fang Mu... although he followed him into the palace, was he sent by the prince to guard Fu Hengyu and Du Wan?"
Commander Xu nodded, "Originally, I should have been the one to go, but my stomach is not doing well and I feel a little uncomfortable. Lord Fang Mu said that he was going to accompany Wang Ye to the palace anyway, so he brought him in front of Your Majesty and we can talk it out directly."
The prince is relatively restrained.
"Give him this pill. It's an external medicine. He'll be fine."
"I thank you on behalf of Lord Fang Mu."
"You should keep an eye on the palace recently. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives enter the palace. Show me anything before you go in. Don't be too reckless. Don't believe any news from the palace."
