Chapter 378 The Regent supports him
Xiao Chenyan wanted to pull Shen Ruzhou's hand, but she dodged it with sharp eyes. Shen Ruzhou even moved a step to the side, deliberately keeping the distance between the two.
"Say what you have to say quickly, I'm in a hurry to get out of the palace."
Xiao Chenyan had a cold face and a fierce look in his eyes, "It's too late for you to leave the palace now. The imperial edict has been issued. It's a certainty that you will bring shame to the family."
"So what?" Shen Ruzhou didn't care. From the moment she made up her mind to reconcile, she knew that sooner or later she would have to face these things. She never thought about escaping, but she felt that she was being humiliated along with her family, and she felt really guilty. .
Xiao Chenyan only felt that she was trying to be brave, and said coldly: "For the sake of taking care of me with all your heart these days, I can give you another chance, and as long as you ask, I can help you. "
"No need." Shen Ruzhou refused decisively, without any warmth in his words, "I will never beg you no matter how difficult it is."
After that, she turned and left.
Xiao Chenyan looked at her decisive back, almost biting his molars with hatred. He stretched out his hand and broke the branch beside him, lowered his eyes, and said sternly: "Shen Ruzhou, I will definitely let you know that if you leave me, you There’s no way to live.”
Shen Ruzhou walked quickly carrying the medicine box. She wanted to go home quickly.Although I had told my brother before, my father and grandmother had always been kept in the dark. They were afraid that the family would be in chaos when they suddenly received the imperial edict and the letter of separation.
When passing by the Imperial Garden, by chance, I happened to meet Princess Yu and a group of ladies from the official family visiting the garden.
It's really a narrow road for enemies.
Yu Yaner was the most sharp-eyed and was the first to see Shen Ruzhou, "Hey, isn't that Princess Wucheng?"
Mu Wanqing corrected her with a smile, "Yan'er, you called her by the wrong name. She has reconciled with King Wu Cheng, so now she should be called Miss Shen."
"Yes, yes, sister Wanqing reminded me, why did I forget?" Yu Yan'er took a round fan and walked lightly to Shen Ruzhou, looking around, "Miss Shen, everyone else was My husband divorced me, but Miss Shen knew that she was not worthy, so she asked for divorce. She is really self-aware."
A richly dressed lady next to her, with eyes full of disdain, also stepped forward and said, "I heard that when King Wu Cheng was poisoned and unconscious, he divorced himself. It was just like what was written in the book. The couple were originally married. Birds in the same forest fly separately when disaster strikes."
"It's a pity that she was short-sighted and her calculations were wrong after all. Now King Wucheng is healed." Yu Yan'er said immediately.
Mu Wanqing was accustomed to being a good person, so she pushed Yu Yan'er and scolded: "Although what Miss Shen did in this matter is not honest, we, as others, shouldn't say too much, otherwise we will ruin other people's reputations, and we will be in trouble in the future. It’s hard to get married again.”
Yu Yan'er didn't take it seriously, with contempt on her face, "Sister Wanqing is kind-hearted, but it's a pity that even if we didn't say it, it would have spread to the outside world. With Miss Shen's current reputation, let alone ordinary Even the low-class pig butchers and vegetable sellers definitely don’t like her anymore.”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
Shen Ruzhou was too lazy to pay attention and just wanted to go home quickly.She turned to the side, intending to go around the path, but Yu Yan'er deliberately moved her steps and stood in front of her.
Seeing her arrogant look, Shen Ruzhou lost his patience and shouted sternly: "If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude."
"I won't let you go. How can you be so rude? I want to take a look." Yu Yaner stood motionless with her hands on her hips as if she was not afraid of anything.
"That's right, do you still want to take action?"
"This is the palace, I don't believe she dares to mess around."
"..."
The ladies behind Yu Yaner encouraged her with every word.
All waiting to see a good show.
"Who is outside? You have disturbed me." A stern rebuke suddenly came from the Nuan Pavilion next to him.
As soon as the voice fell, Bei Xiuyan walked out wearing a majestic official uniform.
When everyone saw that it was the regent, their faces turned pale with fright and they hurriedly saluted.
Mu Wanqing stepped forward and apologized: "We sisters were joking and never meant to disturb the peace of the Regent. Please forgive me."
"Are you kidding? But it's over. If it's not over, I also want to hear it." Bei Xiuyan's voice was like ice on a thousand-year-old snow mountain, sending chills down the spines of everyone who heard it.
Yu Yan'er couldn't help but shudder. She had already witnessed the power of Beixiu Banquet at Mrs. Shen's birthday party last time. Now she was even more frightened and hid behind Mu Wanqing, not daring to raise her head.He looked completely different from the arrogant look he had just now.
Mu Wanqing forced herself to speak calmly, "It's just a joke between sisters. I really don't dare to offend the Regent's ears. Let's leave now."
With that said, she waved her hand to everyone to leave together.
Bei Xiuyan walked over with the light on his back, a faint halo surrounding his body, and his handsome face that looked like a banished immortal, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
He always appeared suddenly when she was most lonely and helpless, and then easily solved all the problems and difficulties, giving her hope and light.
Beixiu Yan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he opened his thin lips and said comfortingly: "There are too many people in the world who are ignorant and ignorant. Just listen to the wind is like rain. Don't pay attention. As long as you feel that what you are doing is right, don't care too much about others." Comment.”
"That's what the regent said." Shen Ruzhou held back tears and nodded, feeling very lucky that he could meet someone who understood him so well in this world.
Shen Ruzhou was moved and remembered the emperor's decree, and asked, "Does the regent know what the emperor's decree says?"
Beixiu Yan looked at the sky in the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "The imperial power is supreme. How can a woman be allowed to offend? No matter it is divorce or divorce, according to the royal rhetoric, it is naturally the woman's fault. You don't have to be too care."
"I know, thank you to the regent for your comfort."
Seeing Shen Ruzhou biting her lip and holding back tears, Bei Xiuyan's eyes flashed with a hint of distress.
"When I entered the palace, I happened to see the eunuch beside the emperor heading to the general's palace. He should have arrived by now."
Shen Ruzhou pretended not to care. The stubbornness in her bones made her fearless of the world's eyes, but she had to worry about what her family thought.
"Since I insisted on making peace, I was already prepared to be ridiculed and criticized. Although I mentioned it to my brother beforehand, my father didn't know about it. He has always cared about the family tradition. To suddenly receive the imperial edict and the letter of divorce, I just I’m afraid it will be difficult to accept.”
Shen Ruyi thought of his family on Monday, his eyes filled with guilt.
"Prince Regent, I want to leave the palace and go home quickly."
"Okay, I will arrange a carriage to take you back."
