Chapter 202 Hate the Shen Family
Eunuch Li quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, calm down. The prince may still be unable to forget Concubine Lan. Please wait for some time before bringing it up again."
After listening to Eunuch Li's words, the emperor had to temporarily put aside his thoughts on arranging a marriage with Jiang Dichen.
In the Queen's bedroom, as soon as Jiang Dichen left the Imperial Study, someone came to her with a message: "Queen, I heard that Prince Han tore up the books of several girls."
Empress Wu listened to the report and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. He tore one copy. I still have another copy here."
Jiang Dichen's reaction was all within her expectations. Since the emperor had given her the task, why would she give up halfway?
Jiang Dichen didn't want to get married, but she forced him to.
After Empress Wu made some plans in her mind, she told the visitor, "Go down. If I have anything to say, I will send someone to find you."
"Yes, your majesty." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he hurried away.
Nanny Li at the side said to her mistress, "Madam, Prince Han is back. He will probably refuse to marry. I'm afraid those girls can't be sent in."
Empress Wu said to Nanny Li, "There is no rush for this matter. I will make a decision after I see the Emperor."
After the Queen finished speaking, she paused and asked Li Mama, "Li Mama, I haven't seen the Crown Prince for a long time. Let someone go and ask him what he has been busy with recently."
After hearing the Queen's question, Nanny Li hesitated for a moment and told the Queen truthfully, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince went to Cangling City to seek medical treatment half a month ago and is not in the capital now."
When the queen heard her son leave, she stood up suddenly and said to Li Ma Ma with a sullen face, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?"
Her son's health was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't withstand a long journey. If he left like this, and something happened to him on the way, what would she do?
Nanny Li was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and said to the Queen, "To answer your question, Your Majesty, I only found out about the Crown Prince after he left. The Crown Princess said that the Crown Prince had told you not to tell you about his departure, otherwise you would have to worry about him every day, and his illness would be even harder to cure."
After hearing what Li Ma said, the Queen covered her chest with her hands and said with a sad face: "My son is too considerate of others, that's why he got sick."
Nanny Li said at the side: "His Royal Highness is kind and merciful. It is a blessing for the Queen and the people of Beiming."
Empress Wu said with a sad face: "Forget it, since he doesn't want me to worry, I won't bother him."
After the Queen finished speaking, she frowned and continued, "But, is there a doctor in Cang Ling City? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Nanny Li shook her head and said, "To answer your Majesty, this servant really doesn't know."
After she finished speaking, she hesitated for a moment and asked the Queen, "Your Majesty, would you like me to send someone to inquire over there and also find out about the Crown Prince?"
The Queen responded to Nanny Li with a “hmm” and said, “Send a few more flexible ones over there to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when necessary.”
"Yes, your majesty." After saying this, Nanny Li quickly turned around and left.
The queen dressed up and went to see the emperor with her maids.
The next day, at Yuelai Inn, Shen Qi and his friends rested for a night, then left the capital with their sons and grandchildren.
After Jiang Dichen heard the news, he hurriedly followed.
After all, she is the children's grandmother, and it is reasonable for him to burn a stick of incense for her.
Because Zhong Lingzhu had a miscarriage, Qin Zhen did not let her go, so he went there with a bruised face and nose. Unexpectedly, he met his archenemy Jiang Dichen on the way.
It is said that enemies become particularly jealous when they meet. When the two met, they could not help but fight. Wu Cheng was worried that his master would suffer, so he quickly reminded him: "Master, hurry up, or you will miss the sacrificial ceremony."
Wu Cheng's words about the sacrificial ritual made both of them regain their senses. They glared at each other hatefully and then went on their own.
At the mass grave outside the capital, the monk invited by Shen Qi was performing a ritual for his daughter. Shen Hui, who was at the end of the crowd, saw Jiang Dichen and Qin Zhen coming. He nodded to Qin Zhen first, then stared at Jiang Dichen and asked, "What are you doing here?"
When everyone in the Shen family heard Shen Qi's voice, they all looked back and saw that it was Jiang Dichen who came. They all looked at him with unfriendly faces.
Jiang Dichen glanced at everyone in the Shen family and said to Shen Qi, "Senior Shen, Ruolan can't come, so I will burn a stick of incense for my mother-in-law on her behalf."
Shen Qi originally wanted to refuse, but Jiang Dichen's words "mother-in-law" made him change his mind. He nodded at him, indicating that he could stay and burn incense for his daughter.
Uncle Shen saw that his father agreed to Jiang Dichen's request. He took out a linen mourning dress and handed it to Jiang Dichen, saying, "Since Prince Han wants to burn incense for Lan'er, please put on this mourning dress."
After he finished speaking, he took another set for Qin Zhen, but it was slightly different from Jiang Dichen's.
Jiang Dichen naturally had no objection. He took the mourning clothes, put them on, and knelt in front of Shen Ting'er's grave with the younger generations of the Shen family.
When the people in the Shen family saw that Jiang Dichen really put aside his proud dignity and knelt down in front of their aunt, the eyes they looked at him were no longer so hostile.
Qin Zhen couldn't help but curl his lips and cursed Jiang Dichen in his heart, saying he was just pretending.
Just as the monk finished performing the ritual for Shen Ting'er and everyone had already lit incense and were preparing to start digging Shen Ting'er's grave, a deafening cry suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.
"Ting'er, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault that you passed away so early..."
"It's all my fault..."
"Wow, wow, wow..." Lan Mao said as he cried sadly.
Shen Qi frowned and said to his eldest son, "Big Boss, go and see who it is."
"Yes, father." After Uncle Shen finished speaking, he quickly flew towards the direction of the crying. When he saw that it was Lan Mao, his face instantly turned cold.
They came to the capital only to take care of their sister's affairs and did not bother him, but they did not expect that he would come to them on his own initiative.
Uncle Shen was furious and slapped Lan Mao on the chest. He shouted at him, "Lan Mao, you killed my sister, and you still have the nerve to come here and cry?"
Lan Mao was knocked to the ground by Uncle Shen. He stood up and looked at Uncle Shen and said, "Valley Master Shen, Ting'er's tragedy was indeed caused by me. I came here today to apologize to Ting'er. You Shen family can kill or chop her up as you please!"
After Lan Mao finished speaking, he lowered his head, looking as if he was leaving it to the Shen family to deal with. In fact, he hated the Shen family in his heart.
It was obvious that Shen Ting'er died of her own illness, but the Shen family insisted on pinning the blame on him. Not only did they cripple him, they also crippled his son, and even his only grandson. It was obvious that the baby was about to be born, but they caused Ye Qingqing to have a premature birth. The adult survived, but the child died.
