Chapter 496 Why are you here?

Shen Liuzhen saw a lot of information from Siyu's expression and tone, some stories about Yishan that he had never known.

But he didn't want to know. Everyone has their own difficulties and stories. The more he knew, the more unnecessary sympathy he would have.

He has already committed suicide to this point. There is no other way except letting him die. There is no need to look for trouble.

So he didn't ask "why", but withdrew his gaze, looked at the glass of wine in front of him that he just smelled, stood up with dignity, shook his sleeves, and said:

"Well, then I'll leave."

Siyu didn't say a word, but just watched Shen Liuzhen's every move and followed him, brewing her emotions and preparing to stage a scene of farewell to her lover when the door opened.

Although, when she looked at this man's back, thinking about what he had done, and the speculations about him, she couldn't act out...

A smart and sinister person is always scary, especially when he has a very pleasant and kind-hearted face. If you think about it carefully, it is even more creepy.

"By the way," Shen Liuzhen suddenly turned around and asked, "Have you found the substitute I asked you to find?"

Siyu's eyes were confused for a moment before she remembered that he was talking about finding a substitute for General Jie. Her pupils swayed and she said:

"It's not easy to find people like him. His body may not necessarily have his heroic spirit, and those who have heroic spirit may not have a face like his. What's more, General Jie has been on the battlefield for a long time, has strong martial arts skills and is in a high position. He can't walk or sit. The aura of lying down is not something ordinary people can have..."

"Of course I know these, but I can't find anyone even remotely similar?" Shen Liuzhen turned sideways and asked dissatisfied.

Siyu was confused for a moment. She didn't know what Shen Liuzhen meant by this move, but she just felt it was difficult to do:

"I'll think of something else."

Suddenly she thought of something and said:

"By the way...it seems...I'm just guessing that the housekeeper in Ma Guogong's house is also looking for such a person."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, his body froze for a moment, and he immediately turned around and asked:

"Oh?...How can you see it?"

"I heard what a very powerful Ren Yazi said. I described the description I needed without mentioning the general's name. But Ren Yazi complained, are you looking for a slave or a master? Why is it the same person that Ma Guogong's family wants... So I guess, maybe, they are also looking for a substitute for General Jie."

Shen Liuzhen's eyebrows were solemn and he fell into deep thought. After a while, he said:

"I see."

Then he turned and left.

…

…

In front of Princess Huaizhen's mansion.

Xie Yuan raised his head and looked at the huge plaque above his head. What he held in his hand was the memorial he had written but could not deliver to the little emperor.

Logically speaking, with her current official position, she will definitely have the opportunity to go to the pilgrimage, and she can definitely deliver it in person.

But I don’t know whether the emperor did it intentionally or not. Because she was a military general, she had never been promoted to a major court meeting, and she did not need to go to a small court meeting.

Recently, she said that she did not need to enter the palace as long as she was not summoned, on the grounds that she should recover from her injuries.

So since the last public trial of the war outside the city, she had never seen the little emperor again.

Maybe... it was just because there were many people in the palace who were obstructive by Ma Guogong, so she had no chance to meet the saint?

Xie Yuan thought about it for a while, but felt a headache and did not move for a long time.

Sun Tian, ​​who was standing next to her, stood straight and straight, but he kept secretly glancing at Xie Yuan's expression from the corner of his eye.

He didn't know that their general was a girl before, so he only thought it was disgusting for Princess Huaizhen to make such a fuss. Now that he knows, he feels pity for Princess Huaizhen.

After a long while, he finally couldn't help but ask:

"General...Princess, does...she know?"

"Do you know anything?" Xie Yuan woke up from his meditation and asked with a stern face.

"No...it's nothing..." Sun Tian quickly swallowed his doubts.

Xie Yuandanfeng's eyes flashed, and she suddenly realized what he was talking about.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the people behind her, then turned her head and pointed at Sun Tian with the memorial in her hand, pursed her lips tightly, and gave a warning look.

Sun Tian lowered his eyes with guilt and did not dare to say a word to show that he knew he was wrong.

"Call the door!" Xie Yuan ordered angrily.

"yes!"

Sun Tian responded quickly, ran up the stairs, and knocked on the door knocker of the Princess Mansion.

The moment the door opened, the concierge inside saw Xie Yuan standing at the door. Although he didn't scream, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly directed people to report to the back.

"The consort is back." The concierge greeted with a smile and quickly opened the door to let Xie Yuan in.

After such a long time... there is no one in the world who doesn't know that the prince-in-law is the only person the proud princess can please.

"Thank you." Xie Yuan said coldly as a response. After saying that, he raised his foot and stepped into the threshold.

Her soldiers lined up behind her and followed her into the courtyard in an orderly manner, where they were placed in the front yard by the servants of the princess's mansion.

When Princess Huaizhen heard that Xie Yuan was coming, she was overjoyed and prepared to dress up to welcome her. But while she was combing her hair, she felt sad that she was so humble.

So she was no longer in a hurry, and just waited for Xie Yuan to come in with a slumped face.

When Xie Yuan came in, what he saw was Princess Huaizhen kneeling on the seat, with the palace maid standing behind her, gently and slowly stroking her hair and dressing her up.

For a moment, Xie Yuan thought of his mother in his memory. She was sitting in front of the dressing table and being served and dressed like this.

When she was little, she liked to sit aside and watch.

It’s not about how to comb it or the jewelry, but because at such moments, there is always a gentle and quiet beauty, which is what it looks like in the painting.

The same was true for Princess Huaizhen at this time.

Moments like this were the rare moments that made her feel that girls also have their beauty, and they are not entirely bad.

It's just that this kind of beauty has nothing to do with her.

Princess Huaizhen turned her head and saw Xie Yuan's tall figure, with his back to the light, a black silhouette cast by the sunlight.

He was born well, and even if he is such a shadow, it is still the image that he longs for.

Princess Huaizhen's deliberately cold face turned away unconsciously, and she asked with a smile:

"Why are you here?"

As soon as she finished asking, she saw what Xie Yuan was holding, and her face suddenly fell, showing a look of disappointment.

She is an imperial daughter, her father is an emperor, and her younger brother is also an emperor. She has seen memorials so often that she can tell them at a glance.

"Yes, if it weren't for official business, you wouldn't come to me."

After Princess Huaizhen murmured, tears burst out of her eyes, as if she couldn't control it.

Her change made the palace maid who was combing her hair so frightened that she was at a loss and looked at Concubine Mo stiffly. Concubine Mo quickly called someone and left together.
