Xiao Dezi put down his raised hand, and immediately, three arrows were fired together, two of which hit Wu Siyuan's left and right guards, the guards immediately fell to the ground, and one hit Wu Siyuan's right shoulder.

Wu Siyuan put his hand on his right shoulder, pointed at Xiao Dezi with an extremely painful expression, and said, "Secretary of the Imperial Guard, you are so bold and reckless..."

Xiao Dezi sneered and said, "You probably forgot that the Emperor personally ordered that the Imperial Guard Division should be executed first, and then played later."

At this time, as soon as Shen Lingyue got off the carriage, Xiao Dezi stopped her.

"Miss Shen..." Wu Siyuan said with a painful face, "Zhang Heng has lost power, you don't have to follow him anymore."

Seeing the painful look in Wu Siyuan's eyes, Shen Lingyue shook her head: "Whether he is proud or losing power, I will be with him."

Wu Siyuan sneered and said: "Have you forgotten? Zhang Heng got you in order to take revenge on the Shen family, and then sealed up the Shen family with his own hands. Have you forgotten everything he has done?"

At this time, Xiao Dezi said to Shen Lingyue: "Hmph! It is their Wu family who framed the Shen family the most. Secretly reporting false news to other vassals, deliberately exaggerating the facts, saying that the situation in the capital is extremely critical. This has caused many vassals, including the Shen family, to dare not act rashly as kings."

"You...you're talking nonsense..." Wu Siyuan tried his best to speak up.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, we will soon see the outcome. You and your father, who plays tricks and hides evil intentions, wait for the punishment."

Afterwards, Xiao Dezi ordered people to control Wu Siyuan, and then brought the hesitant Shen Lingyue into the carriage, and continued to move forward.

On the way, Shen Lingyue asked Xiao Dezi who was riding out of the car: "General Wu really did such a thing?"

"Of course it's true. The vassal kings who rebelled back then were indeed aggressive at the beginning, but the situation in the capital was not so serious that it was almost lost. Mr. Zhang has been investigating this matter recently, which made General Wu anxious to jump over the wall and join other people Let's attack Master Zhang together, trying to get rid of Master Zhang before the truth comes to light."

After hearing this, Shen Lingyue became even more flustered, and said quickly: "Zhang Heng...he will be fine."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang has worked hard for so many years, and he will never be easily defeated."

Although Xiao Dezi said so, Shen Lingyue was still worried, and fear that she had never felt before came to her heart.The relationship between Zhang Heng and the emperor is so good, how could there be such a stalemate suddenly?

Not long after Shen Lingyue entered the palace, she got the answer: I will never see Zhang Heng anyway, it is said that it was the order from the emperor himself, even if other people can go in to see Zhang Heng, but I am the only one who cannot, it seems that the emperor is against Zhang Heng. I am quite prejudiced.

Shen Lingyue immediately came to Jinglan Courtyard, looking for a very important thing in her memory, but fortunately, nothing in Jinglan Courtyard had changed, and Shen Lingyue found it soon.

Afterwards, Shen Lingyue came to the Yangxin Pavilion and wanted to meet the emperor, but was stopped by Shengsheng.

Xiao Dezi persuaded from the side: "I said earlier that it is not easy to meet Mr. Zhang. I'd better send you out of the palace. After a while, the emperor's anger subsides, and you and Mr. Zhang can be reunited."

"If I can't see him, I will always feel uneasy." Shen Lingyue waited for a long time, but still could not agree, so she handed over the things in her hand to the guard of Yangxin Pavilion, asking him to hand over to the emperor on her behalf.

Not long after, Shen Lingyue was summoned by the emperor.

When Shen Lingyue walked into the study of Yangxin Pavilion alone, she saw the emperor walking towards her angrily.

"What do you mean by bringing this thing to me?" The emperor asked loudly.

"The empress gave me this hairpin that day, and she said that seeing the hairpin is like seeing a person." Shen Lingyue was betting on the emperor's feelings for Empress Xue, "I implore the emperor to look at the empress's face and let me meet Zhang Heng." Up side."

The emperor looked at the hairpin in his hand, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of sadness.This was the first time Shen Lingyue saw the emperor express his feelings so clearly.

The emperor looked at the hairpin in his hand, and was absent-minded for a long time, as if he saw the smiling face of Empress Xue in the past. She has always been stubborn, and she will always do what she has decided on without hesitation.

After a long time, the emperor suddenly threw the hairpin aside violently, and said angrily: "Do you think that if you take a hairpin, I will let you succeed? You have turned one of my sharp blades into a blunt knife. Why let you get what you want?"

Shen Lingyue knew that he meant Zhang Heng, so she quickly said: "Zhang Heng...he has always been loyal to the emperor. When he was in the most difficult situation, it was the emperor who discovered and reused him. It was the emperor who gave him a chance to be reborn. In his heart, you are not only the emperor who is aloof, you are also a person who knows him and understands him. It is your appreciation and trust in him. As for me, I never thought of changing him, and I can't change him. He has always been the person who will never turn back when he has a clear mind. He treats me like this, and treats the emperor even more. in this way……"

On the other side, in the confinement room, Zhang Heng opened the note secretly sent by his subordinates. Just when General Wu thought that Zhang Heng had broken his trust with the emperor and began to get carried away, the Department of Imperial Guards got the final evidence, and now the Wu family The matter of channeling to Prince Huai has been thoroughly investigated.

After Zhang Heng read the note, he immediately destroyed it, and then began to think secretly. Everything was as he expected, and the matter of the Wu family will come to light in the next few days.If he hadn't entered this confinement room, General Wu would not have relaxed his vigilance so quickly. If Lan Xin hadn't been asked to convey some news on purpose, General Wu would not have revealed his flaws so early, and the most critical evidence would not have been obtained so smoothly.

Just as Zhang Heng was thinking, the door of the confinement room was opened.

"Yue'er", Zhang Heng saw Shen Lingyue walking in, and immediately frowned, "Why are you here?"

Shen Lingyue thought that she would almost miss him, so she began to wipe away her tears and said, "Are you all right here?"

Zhang Heng frowned and said: "Where is Xiao Dezi? I must punish him." Not only did he not send Shen Lingyue away, but he also let her into the palace.

"Don't blame him, everything is my idea." Shen Lingyue looked at Zhang Heng's face, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Zhang Heng quickly wiped away tears for her, and comforted her softly: "Yue'er, you don't have to worry. The matter will be resolved soon."

Shen Lingyue nodded, with unstoppable sadness still in her eyes.

Zhang Heng immediately held her in his arms: "It was my temporary idea to use this method to force the Wu family to show their true colors. It made you worry." Zhang Heng only told half of the truth, and the other half was that at that time Under the circumstances, I really felt disheartened, and really wanted to resign and go into hiding, and stay away from all this with Shen Lingyue.

Shen Lingyue didn't say a word, she just snuggled into his arms tightly, feeling the unique aura on his body, she was extremely nostalgic for the tenderness at this moment.

Time passed quietly, and Zhang Heng kept talking to Shen Lingyue about his explanation, his thoughts, his guilt, all the past, and all the future, he told her one by one.

Shen Lingyue listened silently, shedding tears non-stop.

Afterwards, Shen Lingyue blushed, and whispered the past in Zhang Heng's ear: In fact, she fell in love with him very early on. Back then in the desert, when the carriage overturned, Zhang Heng held her tightly. , Not only grabbed her hand, but also grabbed her heart.However, at that time, she didn't know what this wonderful feeling meant, and she didn't dare to invest in it. It was only after she arrived in Jiangnan that she realized her intentions. In fact, she had already been moved by him.

A smile appeared on Zhang Hengqingjun's face, and he hugged her even tighter.His silly Yue'er is always so delicate and charming.

From nightfall to sunrise, time passed extremely quickly.

Early in the morning, Zhang Heng planned to let Shen Lingyue leave early, not wanting her to suffer together with him in this dark and damp confinement room, and it would not be too late for the two of them to reunite after he went out.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside.

When the door of the confinement room opened, the emperor in a yellow robe appeared before his eyes.When Shen Lingyue saw the emperor, her eyes were filled with panic.

"Miss Shen, the time has come." The emperor looked at Shen Lingyue and said.

Zhang Heng at the side realized that something was wrong, and quickly asked Shen Lingyue: "What time is it?"

With tears in her eyes, Shen Lingyue straightened Zhang Heng's collar while saying: "The emperor promised to keep you safe, but I must leave immediately, otherwise..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Lingyue's tears fell down.For the whole night yesterday, I was talking to Zhang Heng, and they communicated with each other.There was such a moment, Zhang Heng was safe and sound again, and he should be content.

Zhang Heng was surprised immediately, then turned his head and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, the truth about the Wu family has been ascertained. What I said before is absolutely true." Zhang Heng began to defend.

The emperor looked at Zhang Heng and said: "I already know about the Wu family's matter, and it will be released soon. But, you have to know, it's not just because of the Wu family that I locked you up. If you want to resign, you want to With her, I will not fulfill your wish. I can subdue the situation in the world, and I can still control your stubborn temper. No one can act recklessly in front of me. Queen Xue can't, you Neither can Zhang Heng."

Zhang Heng, who had never said a soft word since being imprisoned, suddenly knelt down and begged with a dejected expression: "Your Majesty, all the faults are caused by me alone, and have nothing to do with her. I am willing to bear any punishment..."

"This is your punishment." The emperor knew Zhang Heng well, and he knew what kind of actions could hit his fate.

After the emperor turned and left, when someone stepped forward to take Shen Lingyue away, Zhang Heng suddenly went crazy and embraced her in his arms: "Stop! No one can separate us, no one can..."

Afterwards, Zhang Heng pointed to those people and said, "If you dare to move her finger, I will let you trade her life for it."

Those people did not listen to Zhang Heng's threat, but acted quickly. Although Zhang Heng struggled in every possible way, it was still difficult to break free from the shackles of fate.

After leaving the confinement room, Shen Lingyue seemed to still be able to hear Zhang Heng's desperate cry.Leaning against the corner of the palace wall, Shen Lingyue cried extremely sad and hopeless.When Shen Lingyue cried no matter how hard she tried, a person appeared in front of her.

"Princess Lanxin." Shen Lingyue remembered her and attended her wedding back then.

Princess Lanxin handed her handkerchief to Shen Lingyue: "Miss Shen, don't be sad, I know Brother Huang, he just wants to cure Brother Zhang Heng's temper. Right now, Brother Huang is angry and easily vents his anger For you, so, you'd better not stay in the capital."

After hearing her words, Shen Lingyue ignored etiquette for a moment, grabbed her hand and asked, "Is what you said true? The emperor will really let Zhang Heng go?"

Princess Lanxin smiled: "Of course it is true. I don't need to lie to you, let alone give you unrealistic hopes. I know the two of them very well. One is more stubborn than the other. Because they are too similar, they will cherish each other, but also because of this, sometimes they will inevitably repel each other, and when they catch up with each other, the troubles will be turned upside down. However, the two of them have walked along the way and went through life and death together, so it is not so easy to be rejected. People are alienated. Those outsiders have too underestimated the trust and support of Brother Huang to Brother Zhang Heng."

Afterwards, Princess Lanxin told Shen Lingyue about the past: "Back then, brother Zhang Heng, as the confidant of the emperor's brother, was detained by Prince Li's men during the operation. It was the emperor's brother who risked himself to ask for someone. At that time, it was the time when the imperial brother and Prince Li fought the most fiercely. If he was not careful, the imperial brother would go and never return. Later, when the vassal kings were in chaos, the imperial brother asked Brother Zhang Heng, if one day those vassals What will happen if the king captures the capital and the palace? Brother Zhang Heng said that as long as he is around, he will swear to defend the capital and the emperor. The enemy can only enter the city by stepping on his bones. The emperor appreciates Zhang Heng very much. I had a life-and-death agreement with him. If the city is destroyed and the country is destroyed, the two will go to the underworld together. Such two people, such a bond of friendship, there is no second person in the heart of the emperor. So, you can rest assured, the emperor I will never embarrass Brother Zhang Heng."

As long as Zhang Heng is safe and sound, as long as the emperor can release Zhang Heng one day, Shen Lingyue feels that she has nothing else to ask for, and she is willing to wait forever.

"Miss Shen, where are you going now? I can send someone to see you off on behalf of Brother Zhang Heng." Princess Lanxin said.

Shen Lingyue was stunned for a moment, not knowing where she was going.In the past, whether it was inside or outside the palace, I always followed Zhang Heng. Wherever he was, I would be there. Now, where can I go?

"It's not too late to make a decision after you think it over," Princess Lanxin continued, "Don't worry, Miss Shen, Brother Huang just wants Brother Zhang Heng to restrain his temper and won't embarrass him. And with me Now, I won't let anyone hurt brother Zhang Heng."

"Thank you, princess." Shen Lingyue knew that with Princess Lanxin's identity and status, she was willing to call Zhang Heng a brother, and her feelings were extremely deep. Then she lowered her head and said, "I was thinking, if I didn't insist on entering the palace Zhang Heng, will things be different?"

Princess Lanxin smiled helplessly: "Based on what I know about the emperor, he will not agree with Brother Zhang Heng's resignation, nor will he allow Brother Zhang Heng to act recklessly, so he has already decided to do so. Brother Zhang Heng can only be cured by letting you leave. No matter what you do, you will not be able to change the current situation. After a while, the emperor's anger will dissipate, and the matter will be eased."

After saying goodbye to Princess Lanxin, Shen Lingyue thought about it carefully, where can she go now?Should I go to the north to visit my family, or go back to Yanshui Village?No matter where I am, at the end of the world or at the end of the world, I will wait for Zhang Heng, believing that I will finally be able to wait for the day when I will be reunited with him.

In the end, after Shen Lingyue left the capital, she didn't go to other places, but chose to go to Jiangnan, to Zhang Heng's hometown.There, the climate is warm and humid, and the scenery is picturesque.

While walking on the country road, Shen Lingyue imagined Zhang Heng's appearance back then, would he often pass this path when he was still a schoolboy, watching the scene of flowers blooming around him, occasionally kicking the side of the road mischievously stones.

How did he survive the difficult time when he was young after the family accident?Will he be sad alone in a corner where no one is around but he has to be strong?

After more than ten years, if he could return to his hometown one day, would he regret the impermanence of this world?In the vicissitudes of life, after several ups and downs, in the long time, each other has experienced reincarnation one after another.

Near the town, Shen Lingyue bought an old house with two entrances, and had someone renovate and decorate it according to Zhang Heng's usual preferences.Not long after the house was repaired, Shen Lingyue hired a local old couple to help tidy up and take care of the house.

In the yard, Shen Lingyue planted a lot of flowers and plants.When the breeze blows and the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, she misses him uncontrollably.

Shen Lingyue learned later that Su Jinhan married the Second Young Master Cui, and now the two are married and settled in Zhuozhou, Jiangnan.

In the following days, Shen Lingyue and Su Jinhan kept in touch with each other, telling each other about each other's situation.Originally, Su Jinhan had written to say that he would come to visit her, but not long after, he wrote again saying that he suddenly found out that he was two months pregnant. Because the doctor said that he needed to take care of him, Mr. Cui let her feel at ease in Zhuozhou to raise the baby. , I can only find a chance to see her in the future.

After Shen Lingyue received the letter, she was very happy for Su Jinhan. She finally married the person she was thinking of, and now she is going to be a mother again.

Afterwards, Shen Lingyue thought of Zhang Heng again. He had expressed his apologies to himself more than once because he could not give him a child. However, deep in his heart, there was more love and distress. Man, such a wise and suave man, it is hard to find another in the world.Perhaps because of this, God arranged that there is only one unique him in the world, and he would not even give him a descendant similar to him.

One afternoon, Shen Lingyue went to a nearby temple to offer incense and pray for Zhang Heng.In the dilapidated temple where the incense was not flourishing, Shen Lingyue saw an old monk holding a crying baby in his arms.

After being introduced by the monk, Shen Lingyue knew that this was an abandoned baby who was thrown at the gate of the temple. The child's family members were nowhere to be found. The child kept crying, wondering if he had some kind of illness.

Seeing the white and clean child crying non-stop, Shen Lingyue couldn't bear it, so she said that she could take the child to the town and find a doctor to show her.

The monk was very grateful and handed over the child to Shen Lingyue.

Shen Lingyue came to the town with the child in her arms, and the doctor in the medical clinic checked it out, and said that the child was fine, except for a bit of cold, as long as it was taken care of, it would be fine.

After Shen Lingyue took the child back to the temple and relayed the doctor's words to the monk, the monk showed a embarrassed look.

"Monks should be compassionate, but unfortunately this temple is already in ruins. Even if they want to keep their children, there is nothing the temple can do to support them."

Shen Lingyue looked at the child's pitiful appearance, and after thinking twice, decided to take the child back.

Ever since Shen Lingyue returned to the house with the child in her arms, Li Ma, who was working, kept talking: "It is not easy to raise a child. Especially when you are a girl, you don't even have a man around you, and you are pulling the older one by yourself. My child, I don't know how much effort it takes."

"Mother Li, I told you that I have a husband, but it's just that I'm away from home. Besides, if I don't bring him back, he will be helpless, and there is no guarantee that something will happen to him." Shen Lingyue coaxed Said while letting the child fall asleep.

"Oh! I know, you are a kind girl. But, raising a child is not a trivial matter. You should think about it carefully." Li Ma sighed and went back to work.

Shen Lingyue knew that she had no experience in raising children, and she did not have the confidence to take care of the child meticulously, but right now he was abandoned, and the temple was unable to take him in, so she could only adopt him by herself.

After a few days, under Shen Lingyue's careful nursing, the little boy's complexion improved more and more, and he kept smiling at people, his appearance was extremely cute.

Shen Lingyue was so happy in her heart that she revolved around him all day long. He cried, laughed, was hungry, and made a fuss, all of which touched her heart all the time.

Suddenly, Shen Lingyue remembered that he didn't have a name yet, and the people in the temple also said that they had no clues, so she might as well name him herself.In the end, Shen Lingyue named him "Zhang Yancheng".

If Zhang Heng was here, I don't know what name he would name.Thinking of Zhang Heng, thinking of his handsome appearance, and thinking of all the past, Shen Lingyue's heart became more and more sad, and the feeling of longing penetrated deeper and deeper into the bone marrow.
