A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Shen Zhixiu saw Su Qingyu's tears sliding down the corners of her eyes, and his heart felt like it was pierced by a sharp blade, and the pain spread throughout his body.

He walked to Su Qingyu and said apologetically, "Qingqing, I'm sorry, I'm back late."

Since he got the news today, he has been discussing matters in the imperial study. As soon as the emperor let him out of the palace, he rushed back to the palace without stopping. He was afraid that Su Qingyu could not bear the blow and something would go wrong.

Su Qingyu wrapped her arms around his waist, pressed her whole body against him, and burst into tears.

Shen Zhixiu stroked her hair with one hand and comforted her, "Qingqing, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

The more she spoke, the more sadly Su Qingyu cried, crying for her brother's death and her past and present life.

I even resented myself in my heart, why did I rush to get involved in my brother's affairs. If it had been according to the trajectory of my previous life, maybe my brother would have been fine.

Shen Zhixiu was at a loss for words because of her crying, his eyes were red. He wanted to kill the entire Li family immediately to make Qingqing feel better.

He leaned forward slightly and kissed her on the forehead, "Don't worry, I will definitely give Yunzhou an explanation for this matter."

Su Qingyu cried so hard that she was out of breath. Today, she went to comfort her mother, mother-in-law and Shen Yue, but she was afraid that someone would notice. Even when she was alone, she didn't dare to shed a tear. She was thinking about how to avenge her brother.

But it was not until she saw Shen Zhixiu that she really felt that she had someone to rely on, and that she did not have to face these things alone. She dared to take off her disguise and become a sister who was sad for her brother.

After a long while, Su Qingyu's crying gradually weakened, and Shen Zhixiu took out a blue cotton handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face.

He then ordered someone to bring in hot water and wipe her face again.

After Su Qingyu cried for a while, she regained her composure and pulled Shen Zhixiu to sit down face to face.

When he sat down, Shen Zhixiu also saw the wound on Su Qingyu's hand.

He frowned, grabbed Su Qingyu's wrist, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened? How did you get hurt?"

Su Qingyu quickly comforted him, "It's just a minor injury. I was so excited today that I didn't pay attention."

Shen Zhixiu wanted to say something to her, but he felt sorry for her, so he asked someone to get some medicine and bandage her wound again.

After everything was bandaged, Su Qingyu asked, "Third Master, what happened? Have you figured it out? Why did my brother die in Quanyan Valley? He didn't pass by there when he returned to Northern Xinjiang."

Shen Zhixiu explained, "When Yunzhou went to Liaodong, Zhang Pan was in the border town of Beijiang. A few days before Yunzhou returned to Beijiang, Zhang Pan received news that a caravan was trapped in Quanyan Valley by horse thieves."

"The Spring Valley is just a den of ordinary horse thieves. Because it is located on the border between the Great Zhou and the Tartars, no one cares about it."

"Zhang Pan led people to rescue them, but they were trapped in a col in the valley. Later, Yunzhou got the news and went to rescue them, but he was also trapped there."

"When Li Yunhuai came to reinforce, we saw them being killed by the bandits and falling off the cliff."

When Su Qingyu thought of that scene, endless hatred surged in her heart.

He slammed the table hard and said coldly, "Li Yunhuai went to reinforce? He is the murderer who killed my brother and Xuanwu Hou, right?"

Shen Zhixiu's expression also turned cold. "Those horse thieves should have been bribed by Princess Yongjia's people a long time ago. Not only that, there may be many of Princess Yongjia's people mixed in."

"After Yunzhou and Zhang Pan fell off the cliff, Li Yunhuai wiped out the bandits."

Su Qingyu snorted, "A place where my brother and Xuanwu Hou could be trapped, but Li Yunhuai is capable of wiping them out. He is truly a genius."

Shen Zhixiu added: "I negotiated for a day and finally got the emperor to order Li Yunhuai to escort the coffins of the two men with their battle robes back to the capital. As for the northern border, General Tian Sheng will take over temporarily."

Su Qingyu's eyes flashed with coldness, "Li Yunhuai... now that he has returned to Beijing, don't even think about leaving alive."

Afterwards, she talked about wanting Li Yunzhou to recognize his ancestral roots and return to his ancestral home. She planned to wait until the Li family fell before formally bringing this up with the Su family.

Shen Zhixiu comforted him, "It's not difficult. We just need to discuss our own affairs among ourselves."

But what the two of them didn't know was that Princess Yongjia had already made preparations to step on Li Yunzhou's corpse and bring great wealth to the Li family.

The next morning, Shen Zhixiu got up very quietly, fearing to disturb Su Qingyu. She tossed and turned all night and fell asleep only at dawn.

After leaving the inner room, Shen Zhixiu instructed Feicui and the others, "Don't disturb Madam's sleep. She can sleep as long as she wants."

He came back too late last night and didn't go to Qingyuanju. Knowing that the old lady always got up early, Shen Zhixiu was worried and went to Qingyuanju to check.

When the old lady saw him coming, she asked him in detail about Li Yunzhou.

Shen Zhixiu briefly explained it and then asked the old lady how Shen Yue was doing.

The old lady glanced in the direction of the inner room and sighed, "What else can I do? I cried until I was tired and cried when I woke up."

"His eyes were swollen like walnut kernels. I tried to persuade him, but it was impossible to get him out of this situation."

"This marriage is not like the previous one with Zhang Pan. She has no feelings and doesn't feel anything about it."

"But they have developed feelings for each other. Now that we are separated by heaven and earth, what will this girl do in the future?"

Thinking of Xuanwu Hou Zhang Pan again, the old lady sighed. They were all good men, and their deaths were so sad.

Shen Zhixiu had no choice. If something happened to Su Qingyu, his reaction would probably be even more intense than Shen Yue's.

I can only ask the old lady to persuade Shen Yue more and not to hurt herself.

Seeing that the time was approaching, the old lady urged Shen Zhixiu to go to court quickly.

In the Qianyang Palace, everyone stood up after kneeling, and the Minister of Rites presented the posthumous title to be conferred on Marquis Xuanwu.

Suddenly, a eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the Princess of Shan County wants to see you."

Emperor Xuande frowned and thought to himself, this is an early morning court session, what is Yongjia doing here?

But on second thought, Yongjia is not a person without sense of propriety. After all, she is still his sister, and he should give her the face she deserves.

"Let her come up."

Soon, Princess Yongjia walked into the hall, wearing a plain dress, without any makeup, and looking very sad.

The court officials present were not surprised by her dress. If a bastard died in battle at the border town and wore luxurious clothes to the palace, it would be criticized. Everyone in the capital knew that Princess Yongjia treated this bastard as her own son.

Princess Yongjia walked to the center of the hall, knelt down and said, "Brother, please help Yunzhou and make his life story known to the world."

Emperor Xuande was confused. "Yongjia, stand up and speak. What happened to Li Yunzhou? Why does he need me to be his ancestor? He is a bastard of the Li family. Where can he go to recognize his ancestors?"

Shen Zhixiu, who was standing aside, subconsciously glanced at Princess Yongjia and suddenly had a vague guess in his mind.

Princess Yongjia did not stand up, but knelt on the ground and spoke with tears in her eyes.

"Royal brother, actually...actually Yunzhou is the child of the prince and sister Ning."

Emperor Xuande stood up, horrified, "What did you say? Li Yunzhou is Yongning's child?"
