Princess Yong'an's questioning did bring Shen Yuerong back to her senses for a while.
Pei Lang, the son of Princess Yong'an, is not a useless person.
"When I married him, he was just a successful candidate. Even though everyone calls my son the young marquis now, he should have the title of marquis, but in fact... this title is just an empty title."
Naturally, the emperor would never put power in his hands.
"Even though he is the Minister of War, do you think he is quite relaxed? Sometimes he can even walk with me on the street?"
Shen Yuerong nodded subconsciously.
Before, I just thought that they had a deep affection for each other, so they were unwilling to separate from each other.
But now thinking about it, I suddenly realized that there was something wrong here.
"It's just your majesty's trick. Your majesty knows that I am deeply loved by the empress dowager. If my husband's family is also a famous family, they will only help the empress dowager in the future, which goes against the will of our majesty."
How can a princess control the court?
"I actually have no interest in the court. To be honest... I was a little annoyed by the Queen Mother who had been keeping me by her side. The Queen Mother is a very powerful woman, but she is not a qualified mother."
At least for them, this "mother" did not give them the care they deserved.
"But everyone thinks that the Queen Mother has always favored me, so I have to bear this infamy."
Sometimes she found these people quite funny. If she could really get the favor of the Empress Dowager, perhaps she would have become a superior person by now.
"The Queen Mother doesn't really care about you at all. The one she really cares about is Chi Mu?"
She nodded.
"She told me since I was little that no matter what I do in the future, I must protect my brother and make him successful."
Shen Yuerong was a little stunned. She didn't expect that even in the royal family, women could only pave the way for men's future.
"But... you are also a living person."
Shen Yuerong was somewhat reluctant to look at the little girl in front of her and really didn't know how to persuade her.
"You don't need to persuade me. I have already thought about it over the years. Even if the Queen Mother forces me every time, I will never give in easily. This time, I must not only protect my brother, but also protect myself."
Shen Yuerong patted her shoulder and said, "If you need any help, just ask."
Princess Yong'an agreed, but looked at her haggard figure.
"It's most important for you to get well soon. Things outside were indeed a bit hectic yesterday, and your brother's identity is not good enough for him to come to the Shen family again. I don't want him to worry, so you should get well soon."
Shen Yuerong nodded, “I know.”
…
There were constant debates in the previous dynasty, and the emperor ultimately had no way to resolve the matter, so he could only ask the empress dowager for help.
After all, the Empress Dowager still had some face in front of those old ministers and could still have a say.
"When you caused this incident, why didn't you think that you couldn't clean up the mess yourself, and still asked me, your mother, to do it?"
The emperor knelt on the ground like a child who had made a mistake. Perhaps until now, he had never thought that what he had done would cause such a stir.
"Those ministers from the previous dynasty, the confidants your father left to you, do you really think they are eating for free? If you want to hand over the economy of Jiangnan to the crown prince, no one will refute it. The crown prince is now the master of the East Palace, and some things in his hands are not enough to prove it."
"The son just wants to make his name clear."
"Justified! There should be a reason, not just doing it like this. Now you are taking advantage of the epidemic to secretly send all the people under the prince to Jiangnan. But let me ask you, Jiangnan is in ruins now, but it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. What's the point of throwing a city like this to the prince?"
The Empress Dowager's questions fell on his heart. Now, apart from feeling a little guilty and not daring to face the established results, the Emperor had no other thoughts.
"Forget it. After all, I am your mother."
The secret letter from the Empress Dowager calmed down the ministers who had been restless before.
The events in Jiangnan passed quickly.
And under the emperor's consolation, the prince did not take any action.
Everything is getting better.
When everything becomes quiet, there are always people who continue to stir up the situation.
When George East Gate visited Du Wan, Shen Yuerong only felt that her head was getting more painful.
It is winter now.
Shen Yuerong had hung a sign in front of the door early in the morning, saying that the owner was not feeling well and would not see any visitors.
But she just rushed in lively and smartly, as if she was not afraid of being blamed by the host at all.
Perhaps she was already used to her behavior, Shen Yuerong just waved her hand and sent away the thugs who were chasing her in the yard.
"You can't chase these thugs in my courtyard. They are fighting one on one. If I hadn't stopped them, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to withstand your small body if they started fighting."
"Whether you can bear it or not is none of your business. I just want to ask you, what methods did you use to capture his heart so much? Now that it's been so long, he should have started a new life, but he still can't forget you?"
"To me?"
Shen Yuerong hesitated for a moment, "Are you talking about Fu Hengyu?"
Du Wan nodded, "And Fu Hengjing, what kind of confusing soup did you give to these two brothers to make them miss you so much?"
Fu Hengjing hasn't had much dealings with the Fu family over the years. Apart from using the Fu family's money to fool around outside, there is nothing else.
To the extent that the entire Fu family almost forgot that they had such an ancestor.
But just a few days ago, he suddenly returned home, even brought a small sum of money to his family, and told the old lady that he wanted Fu Hengyu to divorce his wife and remarry.
And the person he married must be Shen Yuerong.
"I don't care what you say outside. Now the marriage between the prince and I is set in stone. We have started to prepare for everything. When the weather warms up after the New Year, we will get married. I hope the general's mansion will not bother me anymore by then."
I have not been involved with the General's Mansion for most of my life, and my seemingly happy life has always had some loopholes.
I'm a little tired now, and arguing doesn't mean anything anymore.
"Please go back and tell the general for me that he and I have long been separated. There is no need for you to keep thinking about me and show how affectionate you are. He and I have been married for many years, but I have never had the slightest affection for each other. It is better for us to part ways."
