Accountant

Shen Xiu hurried out the door, but along the way she did not see the guards and maidservants who usually gathered in the hall, and even Qian Yue never came back.

It seems that today's palace is really messed up.

He cautiously groped his way, found several palaces, and finally found Jingyue Palace where Shen Duan'er was.

At this time, Shen Duan'er's elder brother was unconscious, but she did not go to guard his elder brother, but sat on the rattan chair in front of the yard, quietly staring at the lily of the valley planted in the yard.

After a long time, she suddenly opened her lips and said, "Ta Chun, look at this flower, what does it look like?"

Ta Chun thought for a while and said, "Like a wind chime."

Shen Duan'er smiled softly, "Yes, it's like a wind chime. My brother told me that lily of the valley can talk. He said that when the wind blows, lily of the valley will bring us good news."

"The wind is blowing." Shen Duan'er was still looking at the lily of the valley, but she didn't believe that the lily of the valley and the wind would bring her any good news.

Once her elder brother said this to her, he was just comforting her.

Because at that time, her brother was going to go to the frontier with her father, and she knew that life and death on the battlefield were impermanent, and she couldn't bear to let him go. Before he left, she still held on to his hand tightly to prevent him from leaving.

So the elder brother told her that he had planted a lily of the valley in the backyard, which was a talking flower, and when the wind came, the lily of the valley would tell her the good news about him.

When she was young, she really believed it and took good care of the lily of the valley plant in the yard. Later she knew that her brother had lied to her, so she still kept that lily of the valley plant.

Until entering the palace, she also took the lily of the valley and transplanted it to Jingyue Palace, where it has been raised until now.After this lily of the valley was transplanted, a lot of new buds sprouted around it, but it may take a few more years for them to bloom.

"Your Majesty, the night is getting dark and the dew is heavy, you'd better go inside, don't catch a cold."

Shen Duan'er shook his head, "No, I want to wait for brother."

Ta Chun sighed softly, "Niang Niang, the young master is involuntary now, he can't come."

Ta Chun was originally a maid in the General's Mansion, and she followed the eldest lady at the age of seven. It can be said that she grew up watching Shen Xiu and Shen Duan'er.

Before Shen Duan'er entered the palace, she could still receive news from Shen Xiu from time to time, but after she entered the palace, she could not casually contact anyone outside.

Within a few months, she heard that the Lord had accepted another male pet to raise in Feiluan Palace.She didn't care all the time, she just took it as a joke and just listened to it.

But today she found out that the male favorite who was always treated as a joke by the palace people was actually the eldest young master she watched and grew up with.

She was very worried, but there was nothing she could do.

She promised Shen Xiu and the eldest lady to take good care of Shen Duan'er, so she must not be reckless in other things and hurt Shen Duan'er.

Shen Duan'er raised his hand and held her wrist tightly, with tears in his red eyes.

She said, "Sister Tachun, I hate Shen Jingshu."

"The servant knows."

Hate him, as I should.

She also hates.

If it weren't for Shen Jingshu, neither the young master nor the young lady would have ended up in such a situation.

One of them should be happy to be the most iron-blooded general on the battlefield, and the other should be the happiest and carefree young lady, but because of a quiet difference, they both became caged birds under the high walls of this deep palace.

Shen Duan'er slowed down, and said, "I hate Yan Sui even more."

"The servant knows."

If Shen Jingshu is the instigator of everything, then Yan casually is the executioner who cuts out the heart.It was he who personally put on the heavy shackles for Shen Xiu and Shen Duan'er, destroying all their good wishes.

She knew that Shen Duan'er hated it, and she hated it too.

But they have nothing to do but hate.

They don't have the ability to overthrow clouds and rain, and it seems difficult to even walk out of this high wall. Even if they feel resentful in their hearts, what can they do?

Taking a step back, even if they do go out, they can't do anything.

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

All the people in the world are kings and ministers.

And Yan Sui is the monarch of this world, he won the hearts of the people, he was admired by the people of the world, and he was even protected by the gods and Buddhas of the four directions.

They can't do anything except secretly resent and denounce the injustice of heaven.

In the face of absolute power, they are nothing.

To put it bluntly, they are just playthings played by those in power. If the one in power wants them to die, they will have no way out.

Ta Chun knew these truths, and Shen Duan'er also knew them.

But she didn't want to admit these truths, nor did she want to delve into them.She just wanted to see her brother, and she knew that he would definitely come.

Brother will definitely come tonight.

"When elder brother comes, I will ask elder brother to leave the palace." Shen Duan'er said to himself, "Yan Huaining is not worthy of elder brother's liking for him."

Ta Chun listened, but did not stop.

There is chaos in the palace tonight, and the other palace members of Jingyue Palace have been summoned to the Dragon Yin Palace to wait for orders. Don't be afraid that the walls have ears, so let Shen Duan'er vent his dissatisfaction.

The night was getting darker, the night wind was blowing slowly, and the lilies of the valley were swaying with the wind.

"Tachun, did you hear that? Lily of the Valley is talking."

Ta Chun didn't hear anything, she just frowned and added some clothes for her, and advised her: "Mother, it's getting late, it's time to rest."

"No." Shen Duan'er shook his head, "Brother is coming soon, wait a little longer."

"Niang Niang..." Ta Chun's persuasive voice stopped abruptly, he stared blankly at Shen Xiu standing at the door, and shouted tremblingly: "Eldest Young Master..."

"Tachun, I want to have a few words with Duan'er, is that okay?"

"Eldest young master, come in!" Ta Chun hurriedly greeted him, pulled him into the door, and then closed the door.

"You said, the servants will watch for you at the door."

"Thank you." Shen Xiu thanked her before walking towards Shen Duan'er with flamboyant steps.

"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Shen Duan'er saw that something was wrong with him at a glance, and quickly stood up to support him.

Shen Xiu shook his head, "It's okay, your lord was accidentally stabbed when he was assassinated."

"Where is the injury? Let me see!"

Shen Xiu rolled up the sleeve of his right hand and said, "Duan'er, bandage it up for me."

"Okay, wait a minute, brother, I'll go get the medicine."

"Sister Tachun, go get some warm water!" Shen Duan'er ordered, and ran into the house with her skirt in hand, and then came out with gauze and a medicine bottle.

When Ta Chun brought the water, she twisted the veil and wiped the stains beside the wound for him, and quickly sprinkled the medicine on him and wrapped it up.

"Brother, the wound is a bit deep, you need to find a doctor to have a look."

"it is good."

After Shen Xiu finished answering, he didn't say a word about his injury, but asked softly: "Why don't you see me during the day?"

Shen Duan'er replied: "I don't want to cause trouble, so I came back first."

Shen Xiu nodded, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "Duan'er, the moonlight is very good tonight, you can watch it with me for a while."

"it is good."

After a while, he said again: "Duan'er, do you want to leave the palace?"

"Brother, why do you ask such a question?"

Shen Xiu smiled faintly, raised his hand to touch her head and said: "I always feel that we should be free little fairies. After entering the palace, we are not as happy as before."

Shen Duan'er tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder, said with a smile: "That's not true, with elder brother around, Duan'er is happy wherever he is."

Shen Xiu suddenly darkened and said: "Brother wants you to leave the palace."

"how about you?"

Shen Xiu was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and then said: "Your Majesty will not let me go, I only hope that after I am gone, my Duan'er can also live happily."

"But if you're not here, how can I be happy." Shen Duan'er said: "Brother, my parents treat me differently now because I entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. If I leave, even if Your Majesty will not pursue it, and my parents will not let me go."

Shen Xiu said: "Duan'er, as long as you are willing, brother will help you arrange the rest of your life."

Shen Duan'er hugged him tightly, closed his eyes and said: "If I don't leave, I will be where my brother is. When you are born, Duan'er will be born. When you die, Duan'er will die with you."

Shen Xiu suddenly felt that his eyes were dry, he blinked to hold back the tears, and hugged Shen Duan'er sideways.

"What a girl, why do you always say death on your lips? How unlucky." He patted Shen Duan'er on the back lightly.

Shen Duan'er said sullenly: "I just don't want to be separated from my brother." You can't let Shen Jingshu and Yan Huaining bully you.

Shen Duan'er quietly raised his head to look at his profile.

After looking at it, he raised his hand to touch his face, and said with some sobs: "Brother, you have lost a lot of weight."

Shen Xiu didn't answer, but looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

The moonlight sprinkles all over, and everything is gentle.

Shen Xiu smiled slightly, his brows and eyes were crooked, but there was no joy in his eyes, "Since Duan'er wants to stay, let's stay."

No matter how Shen Duan'er was Shen Jingshu's biological sister, Yan Sui would not make things difficult for Shen Duan'er even if they were related by blood.

Unable to persuade Shen Duan'er, Shen Xiu really sat with her in the courtyard until the moon was setting, then got up and left.

He only allowed Ta Chun and Shen Duan'er to send him to the door, and told them to stop.

Even if most of the people in the palace were still gathering at the Longyin Hall, it was hard to guarantee that no one would intentionally follow and frame him.

He is just dying now, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, but he can't harm the two of them.

When avoiding the main road and going back to Feiluan Hall, Shen Xiu saw dozens of Imperial Forest Army in heavy armor standing outside the gate.

Yan Sui came much earlier than he expected.

Thinking that there were Imperial Forest Army inside and outside, Shen Xiu stopped hiding, walked out generously, and entered the door directly from the road in the middle of the Imperial Forest Army.

Yan Sui was standing in the middle of the yard, facing him, dressed in a black robe, graceful and domineering, his eyes were fixed on Shen Xiu, his eyes were full of indifference, like a man who came from hell on the red lotus of karma Messenger of death in general.

Shen Xiu just looked into his eyes and felt a little out of breath.

After adjusting his mood, Shen Xiu bent his knees and knelt down, slamming his forehead heavily on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, Wan'an."

Yan Sui didn't get up, but sternly shouted, "Shen Jianxi, you are guilty!"

"Criminal, plead guilty!"

He no longer wanted to ask Yan Sui what crime he had committed.

In Yan Sui's eyes, he was a sinner from the beginning to the end, but at this time Yan Sui would come to question him, so most of his crimes had something to do with Shen Jingshu.

He didn't like to hear Shen Jingshu's name, because hearing this name would make him feel ashamed.

He has come to such a situation, but it is all thanks to the three words "Shen Jingshu".

He kept leaning on his body, and spoke again, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister knows that he has committed a capital crime, so he asks the king to grant him death. For the sake of making contributions, I can agree to two requests from the guilty minister."

Yan Sui frowned in dissatisfaction, and said coldly: "Shen Jianxi, you know you have committed a capital crime, so how can you ask me anything?"

Shen Xiu bit her lip hard to keep her voice from trembling. "Your Majesty has taught you the right thing. It is the sinner who is greedy. Please forgive me."
