Jiangbei itself has not been affected by the turmoil in Jiangdong, so after spring, it is a busy scene in various places.

A few days ago, Shen Zhezi secretly came to Liang County from Guangling. The reason why he didn't come openly was not to avoid suspicion, but simply because he didn't want to disturb the people too much.

In the current situation, Shen Zhezi also presided over the repair and management of different cities, but only Liang Juncheng was created by him from scratch and completely from a wasteland. Even the original inhabitants of this place were also recruited under his auspices to recruit Jiangbei refugees to be treated.

Today, Liang County City has changed from the original border town to a prosperous city among the best, and it is also where his fiefdom is located. Therefore, there is really a subtle connection and bond between him and the people of Liang County. Although he has been busy with various affairs in recent years and rarely returns to Liang County, it has gradually become a custom for the people to give him a grand welcome every time he comes, even if it is just a simple passerby.

Although Liang County is the largest handicraft base along the Jiangbei River, it is also fertile with a large number of granges and cultivated fields. At the same time, during the current national mourning period, Shen Zhezi didn't want to be too ostentatious, and didn't want the people's time and energy to waste their time and energy on this kind of meaningless ushering and sending, so he concealed the itinerary.

But even so, when Shen Zhezi arrived in Liang County, he was already full of guests in the city's mansion. At first, the attachés were still nervous, thinking that the whereabouts of the Grand Governor had been leaked, which was an extremely serious problem! But after asking, I realized that this is just a norm recently.

Shen Zhezi is really a little helpless in this regard, although he has already revealed his attitude towards the situation in Jiangdong, but before he officially crosses the river and returns to the capital, the various arrangements are still unspoken.

This kind of unpredictability is the most reverie, so it is inevitable that the current will pursue him too much, which was the case in Guangling earlier, and now it is the case in Liangjun. It is conceivable that when he crosses the river and returns to the capital, it will be difficult to ask for a quiet time.

In order to avoid the nuisance of the crowd, Shen Zhezi still had to enter the house through the side door to stay temporarily. In fact, if he just crossed the river, he would have returned directly from Guangling, and the journey would be closer, but because he was worried about the mental state of the princess, he walked to Liangjun first to wait for him.

After staying in Liang County for two days, the news finally came that Huainan and his party were about to arrive in Liang County. So without everyone in Liang County knowing, Shen Zhezi left the mansion in the county town and went to the suburbs to greet him.

The size of the Huainan group was almost exaggerated, and in addition to Princess Xingnan and other family members, there were still 2,000 Shengwu troops responsible for escorting them along the way. In addition, there are thousands of followers!

The vast majority of these people are representatives of some Jiangbei Township clans, and there are even many villagers who send people to follow as far as Heluo and Qingyan.

The procession had nearly 2,000 people when it set out from Shouchun, but because of the fear of harassment on the way, the Governor's Office's original 1,000-person escort was increased to 2,000. Later, the number of people along the way increased one after another, and by the time they approached Liang County, it had increased to three or four thousand people.

Of course, these people who took the initiative to chase after them were separated from Shouchun and his party. Mao Bao, who was transferred back from Huaibei who was responsible for leading the team to escort the return of the capital from the ceremonial car, had already learned that the Metropolitan Governor was coming to greet him, so he sent someone to introduce the Metropolitan Governor and his entourage into the army in advance.

Shen Zhezi didn't have time to care about people's feelings at this time, and after entering the team, he drove straight to the princess's car.

The princess rode in a two-horse carriage with white flags hanging at the four corners, and there were five or six similar chariots in the procession, and the attendants arranged around them were almost equal. It can be seen that veteran Mao Bao is delicate, and even this hidden danger has been considered and arranged.

Shen Zhezi walked over and waited until the car stopped, then stepped forward and knocked lightly on the wall of the carriage, and the two female officials in the car saw that it was the Grand Duke, and they were all flustered and ready to salute, Shen Zhezi waved his hand to signal them to get out of the car, and then raised his legs to board the carriage.

As soon as he entered the carriage, a delicate body threw himself into his arms, and at the same time, the cry of Princess Xingnan sounded in his ears. Shen Zhezi didn't know what to say at this time, but just held his mother's obviously thin body in his arms.

"How could it be, how could it be...... Queen mother, how did she, last autumn, she also sent a message to invite me to return to the capital with Axiu, she was eager to see the child, but I, I was tired of her not caring for the child's delicateness, and I didn't even reply to the letter...... She must have hated me so much that she would not let me see her for the last time......"

Listening to the sad voice of his own lady, Shen Zhezi's heart was also sour, and then he lowered his head and found that after a few months, the princess had lost so much that she had almost changed a person, without the delicate and sweet of previous years, her face was pale and haggard, and even her thin lips were not bloody.

Seeing the princess like this, Shen Zhezi suddenly frowned, he pressed his hands on the princess's thin shoulders to straighten her body, looked at the princess with teary eyes and said in a condensed voice: "The lady has self-destructed so far, could it be that you also complain that I failed to gallop back to help, so that the queen mother did not save me?" Because you are disgusted with your family, you want to leave me and my children in this world? ”

When Princess Xingnan heard this, her expression became even more sad, and she hid her face and sobbed: "I know that I am wrong...... As a wife and mother, how can you hurt and self-destruct like this...... However, when I think of the sad situation of the queen mother, she is not a talented woman, and it is not easy to maintain it over the years...... In the past few years, I have been tired of her watching my husband's door, and I am tired of not wanting to approach her all the year round, and the two younger brothers are clumsy, and there is no one around her to confide in her when she dies......"

When Shen Zhezi heard this, the anger in his heart that had arisen because of the princess's lack of self-love disappeared, and to be honest, he did feel guilty about the death of the queen mother. Although even if he was willing to send troops to rescue him at that time, he might not be able to rescue him, or it would make the situation more turbulent, but in fact, he had many means to avoid this series of turmoil before the incident.

At the moment, he is just comforting himself, the general trend is unruly, and the queen mother has walked to the present, in fact, most of them are the result of self-inflicted blame. But in the early years, if Shen Zhezi was willing to communicate more with the imperial dowager, the empress dowager would not have fallen into the result of being at the mercy of all parties in Jiangdong.

However, although Shen Zhezi felt guilty, he didn't feel that he owed much to the Empress Dowager, even if the times went backwards and started all over again, it was impossible for him to give up the demands of Jiangbei and the great cause of the Northern Expedition, and put all his achievements and deeds within the Empress Dowager's wife to make him happy.

But for Princess Xingnan, his own lady, Shen Zhezi really couldn't make up his mind and weighed all the pros and cons. Even putting aside the entanglement of some children's affections, when the queen mother began to clearly reveal her vigilance against the forces in Jiangbei, the princess stood firmly on her side, which was enough to make Shen Zhezi feel a lot.

Probably because of this, the princess also felt doubly guilty after hearing the news of the death of the queen mother, and she couldn't stop it.

He hugged Princess Xingnan horizontally, caressed the lady's grief-stricken and trembling body, and pressed his lips lightly against her sideburns: "Lady, don't be sad for me, I am not only heartbroken for your self-destructive appearance, but also ashamed of my own incompetence." To this day, the outside world praises me for my peerless talent, but I once made a big wish to make my mother's life miserable and undisturbed. I also know how the bad news came, how heart-wrenching you were, and hated that there was no idle illness at that time......"

When the princess heard this, she tried even harder to save Shen Zhezi, and her body twitched because of her efforts to suppress her grief.

"My parents gave me blood and bones, and I was separated suddenly, and I wanted to die of grief, which is human nature. But the deceased can't be chased after all, lady, you yourself have a bloodline, even if you no longer love me, a bedside thing, can you give up all the admiration of children on your lap? Dear and loved, my father and son can be completely fulfilled because of you alone, and I will never allow you to add the heartache of my father and son! ”

When Shen Zhezi said this, he stretched his arms, hugged the princess deep in his arms, and said softly: "Cry, no matter how sad you are, all the sadness will be vented in my arms." When you miss this time, you always need to take some tears to treat me, life is uneven, manpower is not enough, I can't say that I can always be with you ......"

"No, don't say it...... What tears do I need to leave for you, without you, there would be no me in this world......"

Princess Xingnan raised her hand to cover Shen Zhezi's mouth, and then burst into tears, but this cry has turned into a kind of pleasant catharsis, and it has lost the long-lasting grievances before.

Shen Zhezi stopped talking, just leaned in the carriage and hugged the princess, until the crying faded and the princess gradually fell asleep, he pulled the wall and gave the order to go.

The carriage was on the road again, and the bumps in the car were extremely obvious, and Shen Zhezi couldn't help frowning again, and felt the great pain caused by the death of the Queen Mother to his own lady. This carriage has only four walls, and there are no shock-absorbing facilities such as futons in it, and most bumps cannot be exempted.

Shen Zhezi's heart moved, he lifted the princess's dress, and when he lifted the underwear to take a look, he found that the lady's knees had been bumped and bruised severely. Thinking that this lady has always been pampered, but she knelt and sobbed all the way, using self-harm to dissipate the sadness and guilt in her heart, Shen Zhezi's heart was also slightly sour, and he was even more glad that he had decided to go west to welcome him.

On the way, Shen Zhezi's clothes tightened, and when he lowered his hands, he saw that the princess opened her eyes again and looked straight at herself, because her whole face had lost weight, and her eyes appeared bigger. Seeing this, Shen Zhezi lowered his head and blew away the scattered hair on her forehead, and whispered: "Sleep, sleep......"

Probably just hysteria in her sleep, Princess Xingnan looked at Shen Zhezi for a moment, and then slowly closed her eyes, and her body snuggled tightly into Shen Zhezi's arms. After a while, there was a faint gasp between her mouth and nose: "Don't, husband, please don't hurt my brother...... He—He's really not good......"

When Shen Zhezi heard this dream, his body couldn't help but stiffen, and then he lowered his head and whispered in the lady's ear: "No, no, don't worry." ”(https:)
