Chapter 155 What kind of fragrance is this?
Shen Yuan didn't know how he walked back.
The overwhelming sadness and powerlessness gnawed at her from head to toe, and she could no longer move.
Sitting under the corridor with exhaustion.
Gu Huailing came back at daybreak, and he looked obviously tired.
The cool fragrance of ink spread, and Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
She saw herself in Gu Huailing's eyes.
"Why don't you go back to your room and sleep?"
Gu Huailing's voice was a little hoarse, and his body was stained with blood.
Chen Yuan felt that the bloodstain was like a stream in the sky, spanning between the two of them.
"My lord, I'm sorry."
Chen Yuan spoke, her tone filled with sadness after the frost and heavy dew.
Gu Huailing sat down next to Shen Yuan.
This was the first time Shen Yuan saw him like this.
"Yao'er has been naughty since she was little. She was very young when her mother passed away. I didn't know how to raise a child, so I mostly let her grow up freely."
"Back then, Madam treated us harshly, and I didn't have the power I have today. It was Yao'er who repeatedly made trouble in front of Grandmother and stole food from me, so I was able to grow up safely."
"Although she is my sister, she has always taken care of me."
When Gu Huailing said this, he turned to look at Chen Yuan, with endless darkness in his dark eyes.
"So, Ayuan, don't blame me. As long as Yao'er's life is in danger, I don't want to see Chen Zhao anymore."
The pain in his eyes was obvious, and Shen Yuan nodded with tears in his eyes.
Gu Huailing did nothing wrong, in fact he had done well enough.
Gu Huailing took Shen Yuan's hand and walked into the house, "You sat outside all night, I'll let Elder Chen check your pulse later."
After Gu Huailing sent Chen Yuan back to the house, he turned and walked out.
Shen Yuan pulled his sleeve from behind, "Where are you going, sir?"
Gu Huailing's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and his words were as cold as ice, "Chen Zhao wouldn't get sick for no reason. There was definitely something wrong with that meal last night."
After Gu Huailing finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Chen Yuan frowned tightly.
Anyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion who had contact with last night's dinner was locked up.
Gu Huailing will personally judge the case.
Shen Yuan was not sleepy at all. She wanted to go see her mother. As soon as she went out, Shen's father came over, supporting Shen's mother.
Chen Yuan hurried over and said, "Father and Mother, why are you here? Is Mother feeling better?"
Father Shen was hunched over with a look of shame on his face, while Mother Shen was holding Shen Yuan's hand, her eyes full of worry.
"Nannan, your brother came to see me and your father yesterday. Seeing him blaming himself like that was very upsetting to me. It's all our fault for getting you into trouble."
Mother Shen glanced into the room with some restraint, and lowered her voice, "The Prime Minister didn't vent his anger on you, did he?"
Shen Yuan shook her head, and Mother Shen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your brother did something wrong. Even if the Prime Minister wanted his life, it was what he deserved. I was afraid that I would implicate you. Now that I see you are doing well, I am relieved."
She looked at Shen Yuan with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, "Mother and your father have discussed it, and we want to move out."
Just as Shen Yuan was about to speak to stop her, she was stopped by her mother, "Nannan, don't persuade me anymore. She is much better now. If you miss your mother, you can come to see her at any time. Mother and father will stay in Qingshi Lane to guard the house for you and your brother."
Chen Yuan's eyes turned red again.
Father Shen gave Mother Shen a reproachful look, "Why are you crying, silly girl? You can't be upset now that you're pregnant."
"When do Mom and Dad plan to leave?"
Father Shen pondered for a moment, "After what happened today, your mother and I are too embarrassed to stay here any longer. We wanted to leave yesterday, but your mother was not feeling well."
"I'm sending my father and mother off."
Mother Shen repeatedly stopped her, “How can we let you send it when you are still pregnant? Your father and I are used to doing the work, so just let Taozi help us clean up.”
Shen Yuan pulled Shen's mother's arm and said, "Mother, just let me send you off."
Father Shen also spoke up, "Since Yuan'er is so kind, let her send it off."
Mother Shen glared at him fiercely, "What are you sending? Nannan is pregnant."
Father Shen stood behind, somewhat at a loss.
Chen Yuan tried hard to force a smile, "Mother, please don't blame father. I won't send you off."
After the two elders left, Chen Yuan went to see Gu Yao.
She was guarded by an imperial physician, and after asking, Shen Yuan found out that Old Chen had been taken away by Gu Huailing.
Could it really be Mr. Chen?
Chen Yuan instinctively felt that it wasn't him. Since the adults were avoiding him about this matter, she pretended to be ignorant.
She didn't see Gu Huailing for several days.
Taozi hurried over with a strange look on her face.
Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, the next sentence I heard Taozi say was, "Miss, the lady is sick."
Chen Yuan immediately stood up and walked out, "Is the illness serious? Have you seen a doctor?"
"Don't worry, girl. It's just a common fever."
Before Taozi could finish her words, Chen Yuan ordered the secret guards to harness the carriage.
"Taozi, you stay in the mansion. When you see the master, tell him that I have been staying in Qingshi Lane to take care of my mother these days."
After saying that, Chen Yuan hurried out of the house and even forgot to put on his cloak.
In Qingshi Lane, Shen Yuan knocked on the door of the Shen Mansion.
As soon as Father Shen saw Shen Yuan, he immediately welcomed her in, "Yuan'er, why are you here?"
Shen Yuan walked in while talking, "Father and mother were sick and didn't tell me, what did the doctor say?"
Father Shen sighed in the back, "Your mother was afraid that you would worry, so she didn't let me tell you."
The house was filled with the aroma of medicine.
Mother Shen fell asleep on the couch, coughing twice during the sleep.
Father Shen stopped Shen Yuan and said, "Your mother just drank the medicine and went to sleep. Yuan'er, please stay away from her so as not to harm her."
"Why isn't the medicine working? I'll send someone back to the palace to get the imperial physician."
"Yuan'er, your mother is most worried about you. It's better not to bother her now. Besides, your mother has an old illness and has suffered with me for so many years. I feel sorry for her as a father."
Father Shen’s eyes turned red.
Shen Yuan looked at the white hair on Shen's father's temples and couldn't help but feel sore in his eyes.
"Don't worry, father. I will never let you and mother suffer again. I have reopened the Shen's Jade Shop and will take you to see it in a few days."
There was no longer the fighting spirit in Mr. Shen's eyes, only the passing of time.
"What's the point of being a good person? As a father, I just want you and Zhao'er to be well, and for our family to stay together in peace. I don't ask for anything else."
"Go back quickly, your father is here."
Father Shen said as he was about to drive Shen Yuan away.
"Father, I have never been filial to you two for so many years. Now that mother is sick, please don't chase me away. I will leave after I see her wake up."
Father Shen nodded with red eyes.
"I'll go to the kitchen to cook some porridge for my mother." Shen Yuan said as he walked out.
Father Shen stared at the direction where Shen Yuan left, and straightened his hunched back.
A deep look flashed across his eyes.
Chen Yuan's porridge was heated again and again, but her mother still hadn't gotten up.
Shen Yuan looked worried, and smelled a strange fragrance in his nose.
She turned around and asked Father Shen, "Father, what kind of incense is burning in this room?"
Father Shen sighed, “Before, when we were in the extremely bitter place, your mother was not used to lighting this incense every night, but later she got used to it.”
A trace of self-blame flashed through Chen Yuan's heart, and he stopped asking questions.
Suddenly, a dizziness came over her mind, and Shen Yuan looked at her father, "Father? I feel dizzy..."
Father Shen looked at Shen Yuan with deep eyes and stood there motionless.
