Shen Kuo's eyes lit up slightly, as if starlight was rubbed into his eyes, but they soon dimmed. In the years since his parents left, he doesn't know how many times he had heard similar words, but none of them came true, and he never saw them again with great anticipation........ I can't even remember what they looked like.

Shen Kuo was afraid that this was just a lie.

"Is this true?"

Shen Manman can understand his current mood, as an older sister, she still feels very sorry for her younger brother: "Of course it's true, I don't have to lie to you about this." You should still remember that when your father and mother wanted to leave Liang Kingdom, it was to find someone, and now that person has been found, and even returned to the capital, then there is naturally no need for your father and mother to continue to stay outside, and they will come back in a few days, ten days at the earliest. ”

Shen Kuo's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and his nose was also red: "I miss my father and mother so much." ”

"What a crybaby!"

This is a city in the north of Liangguo, the city is close to the sea, there is a large wharf in the country, and the canal is very lively with boats coming and going.

Two figures stood by the river, looking far away to the south, a man and a woman, of similar age, and the man clutched a letter in his hand, which they had just received.

There was excitement on the faces of the two that could not be concealed: "Finally found!" ”

The woman smiled slightly, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that after so many years, we never found anyone, and in the end she went back by herself........ It seems that we are not doing our job well, and when we return to the capital, we must make amends to His Highness. This is the first time in decades that we have failed in this mission. ”

The man shook his head and said, "How could Your Highness be that kind of person who cares?" I'm more curious about how he got back to the capital than His Highness. ”

"Didn't you write it clearly on the letter?"

The man handed the letterhead to her, shook his head with a complicated expression, and said, "It only says that the person we are looking for has returned to the capital, and it does not say how she went back, I guess we will have to ask carefully after we go back." Alas, it looks like we haven't been back to the capital in nearly six years, right? ”

The woman answered, and said with half-lowered eyes: "It's been so long, poor Manman guards such a big home alone, and he has to take care of his younger brother, I really wronged him." ”

These two are none other than the biological parents of Shen Manman and Shen Kuo, over the years, they have been ordered to find people everywhere in the Liang Kingdom, but because there are no clues, they have never found the one they are looking for, and now that a full six years have passed, they can finally return to the capital again, which makes both of them excited.

Especially Mother Shen, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she smiled and bent her eyes at the thought that she would be able to see her two children who had been separated for a long time in a few days.

From this city to the capital of Liang Kingdom, the fastest way is to take the waterway, Father Shen has inquired, the nearest ship has to leave tomorrow, they can take this boat back to the capital, as for the time, if the wind and water are smooth, it will only take five days at the earliest!

The two were so happy that they immediately decided to go around the city to see if there were any interesting objects to bring back to their two children!

Although the two of them have traveled all over the Liang country over the years, they have tasks on their bodies, and they dare not slack off, so they haven't gone shopping much, and today they can be regarded as completely relaxed.

"This hairpin is good-looking, and that skirt is also good-looking, buy it back and give it to Manman!"

The two wandered around for an afternoon, and finally returned to the inn in the evening.

"Have you heard about Meng Liguo?" The guest near the stairs in the inn suddenly opened his mouth mysteriously, because he deliberately raised his voice, and because the Shen couple was relatively close to them, the other party's words were heard clearly. Hearing the man, he said: "The queen of Meng Liguo is about to die!" ”

"Who are you listening to when you say that? It hasn't been a few years since Meng Liguo was restored, and the queen is still so young, how can she say that she will die? No kidding! ”

"Phew, who said this was a joke? What I said is true! I have a relative who is Meng Liguo, and when I came here two days ago to do business, I entertained him as if he were talking about Meng Liguo's situation, and he said it himself! It is said that the queen was very sick a month ago, and the famous doctors in the country took a trip to the palace, but no one found a way to treat the queen's condition, and everyone said that the queen would not survive this winter! Alas, it's really pitiful to say, it was not easy to restore the country, and before the throne could sit on the hot seat, people were dying!"

A guest laughed and said: "You still sympathize with others, although they are going to die, but at least they have been emperors, haven't they?" Look at you, what virtues! ”

There was no need to continue listening to the words in the future, and the Shen family and his wife glanced at each other and walked up the stairs one after the other.

When the door of the room was closed, the expressions of the two became solemn: "We haven't heard relevant rumors in this well-informed place, what a mistake!" ”

Mother Shen looked confused: "It must be the queen herself who concealed it, right?" It is said that the situation of Meng Liguo is not optimistic, although the country has been successfully restored, but there are many domestic contradictions, it is said that not long ago there were even people who openly rebelled, the queen may be worried that her illness will cause social unrest, so she chose not to say it. ”

"It should be, since she concealed this news, then everyone else shouldn't know, right? For example, His Royal Highness who is far away in the capital? ”

"I definitely don't know, I'll send a message back immediately!"

Shen Ming never thought that someone would live in this kind of place, this small courtyard is dilapidated, at a glance, he knows that it is not a good place to live, the bricks and tiles of the yard are already a little loose, no wonder something will fall down! When Shen Ming came to the door, he could even see the puddle of blood in front of the door, and the thought of this blood stain coming from the person he had placed on the tip of his heart made Shen Ming's heart ache so much that it began to become difficult to breathe.

He stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door: "Is anyone there?" ”

There was a sound of hurried footsteps from the door, and after a while, someone opened the gate, and then the situation in the courtyard came into Shen Ming's sight.

The owner of this small courtyard is obviously not a person who can take care of life, a good yard was actually overgrown by him, even when Shen Ming was the most depressed, he had never lived in such a bad environment, he really began to doubt life: "You live in this place? ”

Yueqing, who came to open the door, looked surprised, because she had seen Shen Ming before: "The regent ......."

The other people who were talking in the courtyard also noticed the situation here, and when they saw Shen Ming, they immediately showed surprised expressions.

Who would have thought that the de facto ruler of the Liang Kingdom, the most brutal man in the world, would leave the palace alone and end up in this remote alley? If it weren't for the fact that Feng Changqi had seen him before and was impressed by the momentum around him, I am afraid that he would have to wonder if he had recognized the wrong person!

"Why is His Royal Highness the Lord Regent here?"

Shen Ming's face was gloomy: "Where is my princess?" ”

Someone went back to the palace to report, presumably Shen Ming came in a hurry after learning the news. Feng Changqi pointed to the room not far away: "The princess is there." ”

Shen Ming walked away without saying a word.

Just two quarters of an hour before Shen Ming came to the small courtyard, the princess woke up from her slumber. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to ask Liuyu to confirm the situation. She took Liu Yu's hand, looked at it carefully despite the pain on her body, and found that there were no obvious wounds on the other party's body before relieving her heart. Although the wound on her body was a little painful, the princess smiled happily: "You're fine!" ”

There seemed to be a hot current surging in Liuyu's heart, which made her both happy and sad: "I didn't expect you to pounce........ Actually, if you didn't pounce on me at that time, I would be fine, after all, I am a young man, and my body is better than yours, even if I am hit by bricks, I will be fine. ”

The princess furrowed her brows and rubbed Liuyu's cheeks with an unhappy expression: "What are you talking about!" If this happens to you next time, I'll do whatever it takes to help you stop it! ”

"Why is that?"

The princess herself couldn't figure out why, she just wanted to do it, so she did it: "There aren't so many whys, I just don't want to see you get hurt!" By the way, where are the guards who came out of the palace with me, I want to meet them! ”

When the princess said this, she looked very eager, and at a glance she knew that she had something to say to the guards.

Liu Yu didn't think about it and stood up: "I'll go, they'll invite you in!" ”

Therefore, when Shen Ming came outside the room, what came from the room was the sound of the princess talking to those guards!

Hearing this, the princess raised her voice and said, "Don't say a word about today's matter!" If he knew that I was injured not long after I left the palace, and even fell unconscious, then he would definitely be furious and punish you! But if we don't talk about it outside, my husband won't be angry, and I will return to the palace after all the injuries on my body have healed, which can make it seem that things haven't happened, which is a double win! ”

The guards looked at each other, and there was an urge to cry.

I didn't expect the immature princess to have a time to use her brain, and her plan sounded so reliable! But it's too late to say anything now!

Seeing that several guards were silent, the princess was worried: "Okay or not, you guys are right." ”

"Alas, princess, it's not that we don't want to cooperate with you, it's that it's too late!" A guard stood up and said the cruel truth, "Someone has already reported the news, and at this time, His Highness may already know." ”
