"Yes, I'm a doctor. I was granted parole so that I can see more patients. Naturally, I have to continue treating patients." Zhu Jin didn't even raise his head.

"...There should be many media columns, museums, and cultural centers inviting you. Don't you want to join them?" Helian Zhen paused and asked.

"I don't have time." Zhu Jin glanced at her and said, "Aren't you a princess? You can just join in. You should have other poems in your hands anyway."

Shang Lu was a scholar first and an official appointed by the imperial court later. Even if he was not a man of great learning, he certainly had a lot of knowledge in his head.

"How could I have that?" Helian Zhen's face was stiff. She knew that Zhu Jin was referring to Shang Lu, but Shang Lu could not be contacted since yesterday evening until this morning.

"Ask Shang Lu." Zhu Jin looked at her frowning and said directly.

Su Mu looked at the strange atmosphere between the two sisters, looked at this and that, and finally did not speak after hesitating for a while. Helian Lan on the side looked at the two sisters and said nothing.

When Helian Zhen was about to say something in reply, pleasant music started to play.

Zhu Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard the familiar music, then he raised his hand and touched the necklace pendant around his neck.

The next second, a holographic projection appeared in front of my eyes. A strange call came in. I answered it and rejected it...

Zhu Jin reached out and tapped the call, and Kawaki Tou appeared on the holographic projection in front of him.

"Doctor Zhu Jin, are you free today?"

"have."

"Then can you come and see the house? I have found the house I said I would find for you." Kawaki Dori pointed to the back, "It's here."

Zhu Jin's eyes lit up when he saw it. "Give me the address, I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay, see you later." Kawaki Michi hung up the phone readily and raised his chin proudly to Lao Zhang and others who were looking at him eagerly on the side.

Zhu Jin accepted Helian Lan's arrangement and was escorted by guards to reunite with Chuanmutong. Helian Zhen followed her and set off for Shanglu's home.

Helian Zhen was granted full authority at Shang Lu's home, and when he arrived, he went straight into the house. He saw Shang Lu, who had a short stubble, on the balcony.

"Alu, what's wrong with you?" Helian Zhen clearly felt that Shang Lu was abnormal, as if he had completely let go of something and seemed to have lost something.

"I've figured out one thing." Shang Lu looked at Helian Zhen with a complicated look.

"What did you figure out?" Helian Zhen saw that he looked unhappy and put his hand on his forehead.

"Let's get married, Zhenzhen." Shang Lu closed his eyes and let Helian Zhen's soft and warm hand cover him. After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and pulled down Helian Zhen's hand, gently kissed her palm and suddenly said.

"What?" Helian really thought he had heard it wrong.

"I say, let's get married, Zhenzhen." Shang Lu looked at Helian Zhen, "Are you willing?"

"I...will." Helian Zhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied softly.

"I will treat you well." Shang Lu stood up and stroked her face, then pulled her into his arms for a while. After thousands of words, this was the only sentence he said.

Be my wife for another life.

Looking at the two people hugging each other, the guard who heard the conversation at the balcony frowned slightly.

After spending a whole day with Shang Lu and listening to Shang Lu's talk about the Book of Songs, Helian Zhen received a call from Helian Lan's personal officer in the afternoon, asking her to take Shang Lu back.

"It's just right that mom wants to see you, A'Lu, let's tell mom that we want to get married!" Helian Zhen said to Shang Lu excitedly after hearing the words of the personal officer.

“…You are still at a critical moment, we can get engaged first.” Shang Lu said after a moment of silence.

"Engagement? That's fine!" Helian Zhen also nodded and urged Shang Lu, "Hurry up and pack up. Let's go. Mom is already waiting for us."

“…Okay.” Shang Lu nodded. What is coming will come, and what needs to be faced must be faced.

When I returned to the palace, not only Helian Lan was there, but Su Mu was also there, and Zhu Jin had not returned yet.

When Helian Zhen saw them, his eyes lit up. He pulled Shang Lu to greet them, then immediately snuggled into Su Mu's arms, "Dad." He looked at Helian Lan excitedly, "Mom, A Lu and I want to get engaged first."

"That's great!" Su Mu was delighted when he heard it. "You are already 20 years old, it's time to get engaged. When did you decide?"

"It's decided today." Helian Zhen laughed and completely returned to her former state as a little girl.

Helian Lan looked at her expression with a complicated expression and let Su Mu be happy alone without saying anything.

After Su Mu was called away temporarily, Helian Lan took Helian Zhen and Shang Lu to the semi-enclosed small reception room.

"Mom?" Helian Zhen looked at Helian Lan with some uneasiness.

"Zhenzhen, A'Lu, I am against the two of you being together." Helian Lan spoke, making Helian Zhenzhen feel uneasy.

"Mom!" Helian Zhen said excitedly in disbelief, "You obviously have always liked A Lu and always said you would wait for us to get married! Why are you suddenly against it now? Do you know how much A Lu has helped me and how much he has paid for me?"

"Zhenzhen, calm down, we will listen to Her Majesty the Queen." Shang Lu closed his eyes and pulled Helian Zhen.

"No, I like you, I just like you, I don't want to listen!" Helian Zhen reacted violently and shook his head violently.

"Because I don't want you to be unhappy in the future, I oppose it." Helian Lan spoke before Shang Lu opened his mouth and answered Helian Zhen's words, "Standing in the footsteps of a mother, Zhenzhen, I oppose you and A Lu being together. I have my reasons for opposing it. If you still want to be together after listening to me, I will not stop you."

After experiencing the failed marriage of his eldest daughter, Helian Lan was more cautious and thought more about his youngest daughter's engagement.

"Okay, Mom, you go ahead." Helian Zhen was held tightly by Shang Lu. After hearing what Helian Lan said next, he took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

Helian Lan looked at Helian Zhen's expression, his expression did not change. After listening to her, he looked at Shang Lu, "Ah Lu, I think you have also thought that if you stay with Zhen Zhen, everyone will never forget what Zhen Zhen did. Let's not talk about this for now. I will only talk about the two of you. No matter how much you love each other now, it cannot change the nature of your incompatibility."

"Because no matter how much you support her behind her now, you can't hide behind Zhenzhen all your life, support her, accommodate her, and make her your priority all your life." Helian Lan looked at Shang Lu indifferently, "I know that you, Shang Lu, are not such a person."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Shang Lu's expression still changed after hearing what Helian Lan said.

Every word Helian Lan said hit the nail on the head. He knew very well what it meant for him to stay by Helian Zhen's side, and he knew even more clearly that he couldn't hide behind Helian Zhen his entire life.

"Mom..." Helian Zhen looked at Helian Lan in disbelief. He didn't expect her to say such words, and he didn't expect Shang Lu to change his expression.

Helian Lan looked at Helian Zhen, "Zhenzhen, you still need to keep growing. If you hide behind Shang Lu all your life, you will never be able to become a qualified princess or queen. Only if you fight for it and be independent can you become a real princess or queen. I don't want you to be just a princess or queen hiding behind others, and I don't want you to be just a princess or queen in public and become a puppet of Shang Lu, the invisible queen."

Every word was simple, yet vicious.

"No, Mom, A Lu wouldn't do that!" Helian Zhen shook his head vigorously, "A Lu is not that kind of person!"

"Yes, even if A Lu is not such a person, but Zhenzhen, so what?" Helian Lan asked back.

Helian Zhen couldn't answer, and Shang Lu couldn't answer either. Helian Lan looked at their expressions and smiled.

"Zhenzhen, if you really love Shanglu, you won't let him be the one behind you for the rest of his life. And Alu, no matter how much you love Zhenzhen, you won't be willing to be the one behind her for the rest of your life. Even women can't do this, let alone men. No matter how broad-minded a man is, he can't do it." Just like her husband. He loves her, always has, and he also loves this family, but it doesn't mean that he has lived a happy life. Happiness for most of the time cannot cover up a small part of misfortune, just because that small part of misfortune is engraved in the bones and unforgettable for a lifetime.

Originally, he was the most outstanding prosecutor representative with a bright future. However, because he became her husband, his excellence was gradually overshadowed by the title of the queen's husband. Everyone called him Prince Sumu, and no one called him Prosecutor Su.
