Yanmenchun

Chapter 174

They still reached the balcony.

Shen Tuchan has not said a word since she finished that sentence.

After getting out of the carriage and entering the room, she leaned back on the couch and did not move. She leaned over and Jiang Lan sat beside her to accompany her.

Li Jingshu was sitting outside the door, her hair was disheveled by the night wind, and her maid was urging her to go back and rest for a while, but she didn't seem to hear.

Shen Tuchan didn't cry, she felt as if she was standing in a desert, not thirsty, but a feeling from her heart.

For a long time, she said like a raving: "It was also night when the news of my parents came from Mobei, it was a spring night, but at that time I felt that life was more hopeless than that."

The greatest tragedy in life is the loss of a father in youth, a husband in middle age, and a son in old age.

She experienced her first experience at the age of thirteen.

Jiang Lan felt that his throat was dry and he couldn't say a word. In fact, he really wanted to tell Shen Tuchan that I will be with you for the rest of my life.

But fate is not in the hands of mortals, and Shen Tulang and his wife must have thought this way when they looked at Shen Tuchan in their swaddling arms.

Shen Tuchan continued: "When I was ten years old, Xiaoman's elder sister, Ah Yue, died for me. Now, Xiaoman also died for me. I can try my best to avenge them, and I can try my best to subvert this real world, but Jiang Lan, I don't want to be the one left behind at all."

Her voice was soft, like a sigh that would break when touched.

The room was quiet, and the night in the mountains was very cool, the bed curtains trembled slightly in the wind, and she said again: "It's my pretentiousness, and it's also the shackles I voluntarily bear, but I'm also unavoidably afraid. be left behind."

Jiang Lan gently touched her head with one hand, "No matter what dangers we encounter in this life, we will face them together. Before I can't accompany you, if conditions permit, I will let you live with me, and I will let you live with me. I want you to die with me."

Shen Tuchan nodded with her back to him and said, "Okay, you remember what you said."

Li Jingshu heard every word, every word they said.

She got up and walked down the corridor.

She used to think that Shen Tuchan was very similar to her, but after getting along for a long time, she didn't feel the same, and now she felt the same again.

Even though Shen Tuchan is very talented, she is not omnipotent, the shackles that trap Li Jingshu are herself, but the shackles that trap Shen Tuchan are everything around Shen Tuchan.

On the second day they were in Qingliangtai, Shen Tuchan got up from the couch. Jiang Lan was already investigating the origin of those killers, but they didn't get any useful news.

Shen Tuchan wiped clean the arrow that Xiao Man pulled out yesterday, and the arrow was cut off, leaving only the arrow with a four-inch body. She held it in her hand and said, "There's no need to investigate, they startled the snake. It won't be done anytime soon."

Then there is no clue at all.

Shen Tuchan sneered: "Try Princess Rui and you'll know. It's either Princess Rui or Duke Cheng, but I don't know if Yu Wenji is involved!"

Li Jingshu looked at her wonderingly, "How to test?"

Jiang Lan was sitting on the sidelines writing something, when she heard this, she raised her head and said, "I sent someone back to Dongdu last night, there will be news in two days, just wait."

Shen Tuchan was looking out the window in thought, when she heard this, she turned her head to look at him: "What news?"

Jiang Lan smiled and said: "I sent people to the Eastern Capital to spread the news that Princess Rui is not sick, but pregnant."

Both Shen Tuchan and Li Jingshu were taken aback. This trick was too insidious. Princess Rui had always been ambiguous with the emperor. As soon as the news came out, the emperor and King Rui probably felt agitated.

If Princess Rui was really sick and couldn't get out of bed, at most Prince Rui's mansion would punish a few talkative people, and the emperor wouldn't care about it. Appear in front of everyone.

Although Princess Rui's illness can't explain anything, it shows that she is very suspicious. As long as she is in front of people, Shen Tuchan will have a hundred ways to test her.

In fact, Jiang Lan hated herself to death, if this matter was caused by Princess Rui, Xiao Man's death would be entirely his fault, it was Yu Wenxu who killed him, but it was Shen Tuchan who had to bear the consequences of this matter.

But he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, if he does something, there will be retribution immediately, then there will be no bad people in the world, he not only wants to persecute Prince Rui's residence, but also Cheng Guogong's side is not finished.

Shen Tuchan and Li Jingshu lived in Qingliangtai for three days and then returned to the Eastern Capital. Shen Tuchan's appetite became even worse. With the thin bracelet on her wrist, Li Jingshu was worried that the bracelet would fall off.

Princess Taian already knew about Xiaoman.

As soon as Shen Tuchan got out of the carriage, the two personal maids of the Crown Princess came up to help her, but she raised her hand to block it.

After entering the room, Princess Tai'an said: "Yesterday I went to Prince Rui's mansion and met Princess Rui. She sat on the bed and saw me. She really looked sick. The news of her pregnancy has spread throughout the clan. I want to see you in the face of illness." People are there to quell rumours."

There is a saying that good things do not go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Shen Tuchan looked up at her and said, "You don't think she did this?"

Unexpectedly, Princess Tai'an shook her head and said: "No, I suspect that she did it even more."

Shen Tuchan and Li Jingshu looked at each other, they both looked at Princess Taian in surprise, Shen Tuchan hurriedly said: "What did you see?"

Princess Tai'an was about to speak when the little maid outside reported that it was time to eat.

The maid beside her walked to the door and said, "Bring it in."

Shen Tuchan didn't understand why, so Princess Tai'an said: "The fifth young master has found a cook who cooks Mobei cuisine."

Speaking of the maids bringing things in, Shen Tuchan knew that Jiang Lan and Li Jingshu were worried about her, so she sat down at the table and said, "You guys should try it too, the Mobei cuisine tastes pretty good."

Li Jingshu sat down silently.

The maid went out after putting away her things, and Princess Tai'an continued: "She does have a sick face, but it is definitely not to the point where she can't get up."

Shen Tuchan was holding the chopsticks in her hand, she held the chopsticks horizontally in her hand, looked at Princess Tai'an, and beckoned her to continue.

"The room is indeed filled with the smell of medicine, and her attitude towards me is also very enthusiastic, as if I am really Yu Wenxu's best friend, holding my hand lovingly, so I am very close to her, and she has milk in her hand The scent of milk is very faint, but I didn't like that smell since I was a child, so I smell it easily."

Princess Tai'an raised her hands as she spoke.

Whether it is a noble daughter from Dazhou or Dajin, bathing in fragrant soup and washing hands with milk, this is the minimum pampering, even Shen Tuchan and Li Jingshu will often do this now.

But Princess Tai'an is different, she thinks that milk has a fishy smell, so she always asks people to soak it in hot water to keep her hands delicate.

If Princess Rui was ill and couldn't get out of bed, neither the imperial doctor nor the maid would dare to torment her too much.

In case something happened, who of them could give the emperor and King Rui an explanation.

Li Jingshu thought for a while and said, "But it doesn't mean that there is something wrong with her."

Maybe it's just a coincidence?

However, Shen Tuchan vaguely grasped something in Princess Taian's words, and she asked: "You said. She treats you very affectionately?"
