Chapter 200
Emperor Yong'an was speechless and his face darkened. Xiao Chenyan's eyes were heavy and he didn't speak.
The queen hurriedly said: "Father, this divorce was requested by Princess Wu Cheng herself. If the emperor agrees, it will be fulfilled for her. I believe General Shen will not have any complaints."
"Okay." There was a hint of impatience on the Emperor's face, but his tone revealed the undeniable majesty of a superior.
"Marriage is given by the old man, and you have to listen to the old man whether to reconcile or divorce. The old man has the final say on this matter. They cannot reconcile!"
A dark light flashed across Xiao Chenyan's eyes, he lowered his head and said gratefully: "My grandson thanks Grandpa Huang."
Emperor Yong'an looked at Xiao Chenyan with great dissatisfaction, but what the Supreme Emperor said made sense. The national affairs were current, and the battle on the border was the most important.
He took a step back and said, "Don't be too happy too early. First you failed to handle family affairs and caused trouble, and then you burned and left the book privately. You showed contempt for your superiors. I won't punish you!"
Xiao Chenyan knew in his heart that his father didn't like him, and he still contradicted him. He was simply asking for death. He expected that his father would punish him.
"My son, I have done something wrong, please forgive me."
Emperor Yong'an snorted coldly, "Liaodong is suffering from a drought this year. No crops have been harvested, and the victims are rioting. You go to Liaodong immediately to deal with the disaster and calm the people's anger. If things don't go well, you don't have to come back."
It's not an easy job to do well.
Although Liaodong is close to the capital, it suffers from drought all year round and droughts occur from time to time. For so many years, the local government has not been able to thoroughly control it. Whenever a disaster occurs, mobs break out, making it a hot potato.
After hearing Emperor Yong'an's words, the queen lowered her eyes secretly.
The Supreme Emperor couldn't bear it, "I heard that that place is very dangerous, so I asked Chen Yan to go there. What should I do if something happens?"
"My decision has been made, and there is no need to discuss this matter." Emperor Yong'an was very tough and looked at Xiao Chenyan with an indifferent expression, "I personally agreed to the divorce in front of everyone. If you want me to take back my life, then Just do it beautifully."
A cold light flashed across Xiao Chenyan's dark and deep eyes, but his face was still respectful, and he said in a deep voice: "My son, I accept the order."
There was no emotion on Emperor Yong'an's face, "Then you set off immediately."
Xiao Chenyan responded: "Yes."
After saying that, he held on to the burning injury on his back and turned to leave.
The queen was secretly happy. Liaodong was now like a den of tigers and wolves. Xiao Chenyan might never come back this time!
The Supreme Emperor looked at Emperor Yong'an dissatisfied, "You are such a cruel father, why would you do this!"
Emperor Yong'an said coldly: "He chose it all himself."
The Supreme Emperor shook his head, said nothing, and left the imperial study.
He chased Xiao Chenyan's back and walked over quickly, "Chen Yan."
Xiao Chenyan immediately stopped, turned around, and knelt down to salute the Supreme Emperor, "Grandpa Huang, thank you for arriving in time to protect your grandson. My grandson knelt down to thank Grandpa Huang."
However, it was not the Emperor's grandfather who arrived in time, but his own hand. Only after entering the palace did he order someone to tell the Emperor's grandfather that Shen Ruzhou wanted to reconcile with him, and then face the saint alone.
He was not favored, and he tore up the letter of peace given by his father. His father would not spare him, and would certainly punish him. This would reduce his father's anger, and stimulate his grandfather's determination to protect him.
The matter of reconciliation can naturally be undone, and he also needs to see clearly what kind of status he has in his father's heart.
The Supreme Emperor looked at the blood stains on his back and hurriedly helped the man up, "You are injured, what can you say thanks to me? Get up quickly."
Xiao Chenyan stood up, his handsome face turned pale, "It's my grandson who made Grandpa Huang worry so much. He will definitely live in harmony with the princess in the future and live up to Grandpa Huang's expectations."
"Okay, okay." The Supreme Emperor laughed twice, his eyes filled with relief.
"You were not very happy with the marriage at the beginning, but now you finally know about Ru Zhou? Regarding the divorce, that girl Ru Zhou must also be angry for a while. When you come back after handling the matter in Liaodong, you can coax her and win her back. Heart."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes darkened slightly. Shen Ruzhou was afraid that this was not a momentary anger, but it didn't matter. As long as she was still his princess, she would have a chance to save her.
His thoughts for Shen Ruzhou and his thoughts for Shen Ruzhou in the dream seemed to gradually overlap. He was inexplicably reluctant to let go of her.
"Grandson understands."
The Supreme Emperor nodded with satisfaction and sighed: "I'm afraid it won't be peaceful in Liaodong. You have to be careful and take care of yourself."
Xiao Chenyan saluted the Supreme Emperor solemnly, "My grandson knows."
After bidding farewell to the Supreme Emperor, he immediately left the palace without even returning to the palace, and went on the road injured.
Shen Ruzhou stayed one night in the general's mansion. The next day, the old lady took medicine and felt much better. Her cough stopped and she fell asleep peacefully in bed.
Shen Ruzhou sat by the bed, checked the old lady's pulse, then gently put the old lady's hand back into the quilt and tucked the quilt.
Seeing the old lady sleeping peacefully, Shen Ruzhou felt much at ease.
Thinking about the details of his previous life, it would take at least half a month for her father to return to Beijing in triumph. There was still a long wait, and she had to appease her grandmother.
She was about to get up when Miaodong came in.
She glanced at the old lady on the bed, made a silent gesture to Miaodong, and then left the room.
"What's wrong?" She looked at Miaodong.
"Miss, there are many refugees outside now, and the streets are in a mess. It seems that there is a drought in Liaodong. The people have no food, and they have all flocked to the capital."
Miaodong paused and said thankfully: "Fortunately, Miss had the foresight to buy a lot of food in advance. If I buy it today, I won't be able to buy it. All the rice food in the capital has been sold out!"
Drought, famine? !
Shen Ruzhou's expression suddenly changed, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
How come so soon?
According to the time of the previous life, this drought and the subsequent plague all happened after my father returned to Beijing. Unexpectedly, the time actually moved forward.
In her previous life, Xiao Chenyan was ordered to go to Liaodong to deal with the disaster, and she followed him there and helped out a lot. As a result, Xiao Chenyan handled the situation properly, calmed down the disaster, and won the hearts of the people.
In this life, I don’t know if things will change.
She frowned and said, "Take some of the grain you bought earlier to the General's Mansion and the Tutor's Mansion. Remember to keep a low profile."
"Yes, miss." Miaodong nodded seriously.
After Miaodong left, Shen Ruzhou went back to his room to tidy up and prepare to enter the palace.
Yesterday was delayed due to her grandmother's illness. The old man was too excited and she didn't dare to leave easily. She didn't know what Xiao Chenyan did yesterday and whether he had done anything bad for her.
The matter of harmony and separation has finally been settled, and there can be no more changes.
She was dressed neatly and was about to go out, but someone came from the palace.
Her heart skipped a beat and she rushed to meet him.
The visitor was Eunuch Xu, who was beside the Supreme Emperor. When he saw Shen Ruzhou, he bowed respectfully.
Shen Ruzhou smiled politely, "How come Eunuch Xu is free, but the Supreme Emperor has something to call?"
"This servant is here to deliver a message for the Supreme Emperor." Eunuch Xu said with a smile, "King Wu Cheng asked the Emperor to take back the order of peace and separation, so the Emperor sent him to Liaodong to deal with the disaster..."
