Chapter 400 Why are you here?
In front of the general's mansion, Shen Chumu counted the time and felt that it was time for him to come back.
He kept tiptoeing to look at the end of the street, until he saw a carriage approaching, he breathed a long sigh of relief and thought to himself: It seems that Vice General Sun spent a lot of money today to hire such a luxurious carriage. carriage.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and Shen Ruzhou jumped out first.
Shen Chumu stepped forward to support Shen Ruzhou and asked with a smile, "How was your day today? Then Deputy General Sun..."
While he was talking, he saw Bei Xiuyan getting off the carriage, and he was so shocked that he forgot what he was going to say next.
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Chumu came to his senses and saluted the Beixiu Banquet.
Bei Xiuyan looked at him with bottomless eyes until he saw the hairs on his back stood up and cold sweat broke out on his forehead before he said, "Young Master Shen has not even gotten married yet, so don't worry about other people's marriages."
Hearing this, Shen Chumu was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of the words at all.
When Shen Ruzhou saw his brother being scolded, he defended him, "The regent is so unreasonable. Why are you worrying so much about your sister's marriage?"
Bei Xiuyan asked back, "On the carriage just now, Miss Shen said she was not in a hurry to get married, but it seems that is not the case now."
"The regent doesn't have to worry about whether I marry or not." Shen Ruzhou finished speaking angrily, and then entered the general's mansion without looking back.
Shen Chumu didn't know why, but he could clearly feel the chill coming from the Beixiu Banquet behind him.
He turned around and apologized, "My little sister has been spoiled by her family. I hope the regent will forgive me for my rudeness."
With that said, he respectfully invited Beixiu Banquet into his house.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ming ran panting from a distance and whispered something in Beixiu Yan's ear.
Shen Chumu on the side neither left nor retreated. He awkwardly maintained his inviting posture and waited for the regent to speak.
After hearing this, Beixiu Yan's expression darkened, and he said to Shen Chumu, "I have some urgent matters that need to be dealt with. I will visit you another day."
As if she had been granted amnesty, Shen Chumu quickly sent Beixiu Banquet to the carriage with a smile.
In the evening, Xiao Chenyan sent someone to take Shen Ruzhou to a secret courtyard.
The yard looks extremely simple from the outside, like a dilapidated tofu shop, but after passing through the house and entering the backyard, it turns out to be an exquisitely decorated garden.
Xiao Chenyan took Shen Ruzhou to look at the wing room, "How is it? Do you like the furnishings here? They are all decorated according to your habits when you were in the palace. I think you can live more comfortably this way."
Shen Ruzhou was not interested and said angrily: "I just promised you to come to treat people. I didn't ask you to prepare a place for me, and I didn't plan to live here."
Xiao Chenyan was used to Shen Ruzhou's indifference and didn't care about it. He just explained, "Then Grandma You has been suffering from madness for several years. I'm afraid it will take some time to cure her. It's best if you stay here during the treatment." Always pay attention to Grandma You’s condition.”
Shen Ruzhou was speechless. He only regretted why he agreed to his conditions so easily in the first place. But he couldn't regret what he had agreed to, so he had to urge: "Where is the patient?"
"In the wing room in the backyard." Xiao Chenyan said as he led Shen Ruzhou to the backyard.
Before entering the door, there was a sound of broken dishes coming from inside, and a maid picked up the broken dishes and stepped out.
After seeing Xiao Chenyan, he quickly knelt down and apologized, "Your Majesty, grandma won't eat, and she even said we would poison her to death."
Seeing this, Shen Ruzhou's heart tightened. She felt that the scene in front of her was very familiar. She picked up her dress and ran into the house.
On the bed inside the house, a woman about 50 years old was huddled in the corner.His body was shaking uncontrollably because of fear, and he murmured to himself, "They are all bad people, bad people, they are all here to harm me."
After seeing the old woman's facial features clearly, the memories of Shen Ruzhou's previous life came flooding back to her.
She recognized this woman. She was the late Queen's steward, Aunt You.
In the previous life, Shen Ruzhou was dedicated to helping Xiao Chenyan win the rightful son. After learning that Aunt You was crazy, he took the initiative to ask Ying to treat her. It took more than half a year to cure her.
Later, Aunt You served as a witness to accuse the current queen of murdering the former queen, thus helping Xiao Chenyan successfully bring down the queen and King Yu.
After re-living her life, she never expected to meet this Aunt You.
When Xiao Chenyan saw Shen Ruzhou standing at the door in a daze, he thought it was Grandma You's madness that frightened her.
The two returned to the hall, and Xiao Chenyan said warmly: "You don't have to be afraid. Although Aunt You is crazy, she won't hurt anyone."
Shen Ruzhou sat on the chair for a long time before calming down and said: "This disease is not curable. I'm not sure whether it can be cured."
She laughed loudly at the words, but in her heart she was conflicted about whether Aunt You should receive medical treatment.After all, this was a key step for Xiao Chenyan to seize the throne, and she didn't want to help him like she did in the previous life.
"I believe in your medical skills, all you have to do is treat." Xiao Chenyan comforted him with kind words.
He has already seen many doctors. If Shen Ruzhou cannot be cured, then this move will be considered useless.
At night, Shen Ruzhou tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
She knew very well that the late empress was a kind-hearted person. Emperor Yong'an raised an army to seize the Wanyan family's empire. Thanks to the late empress's repeated advice, Emperor Yong'an did not kill all the old ministers of the previous dynasty and contributed a lot to the recuperation of the new dynasty.
But good people don't live long. Within two years of Emperor Yong'an's ascension to the throne, the late Queen was framed by the then Concubine Lian for having an affair, and later met a tragic end.
However, Concubine Lian was found guilty and took the back seat, becoming the current queen.
Logically speaking, she should cure Aunt You and help the late empress redress her injustice, but she didn't want Xiao Chenyan to get rid of the empress and become the king and successfully ascend the throne.
Shen Ruzhou was extremely conflicted and didn't know how to make a decision.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Shen Ruzhou simply put on his clothes and went for a walk in the garden.
Walking through a corridor, Shen Ruzhou happened to see several men in black jumping over the wall into the yard.
She crouched down in shock and instinctively moved to the flowers nearby.
Suddenly, a hand was clasped on her shoulder. Shen Ruzhou was so frightened that she wanted to open her mouth to call someone, but another hand covered her mouth. She looked up in horror, only to see the man in black silencing her. With a loud movement, he slowly pulled down the black gauze covering his face.
Beixiu Banquet!
Shen Ruzhou breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to ask, but Beixiu Yan spoke first, "This is Xiao Chenyan's other courtyard, why are you here?"
"I..." Shen Ruzhou knew that Aunt You was involved in a lot of things, so he didn't know how to talk about it to Beixiu Yan.
Seeing her hesitation, Bei Xiuyan's eyes flashed with cold light, and he asked sternly: "Are you still in love with Xiao Chenyan, regretting Heli and being with him again?"
