As expected by everyone, she became the wife of the Marquis after being married off

Jiangbei

Meng Changce received the imperial edict from Emperor Yingde and will set off for Beijing tomorrow.

Shen Lanyue was not a little surprised when she heard the news. Ever since she knew that the second prince was going back to Beijing, she had understood in her heart that this might be the opportunity that Meng Changce had been waiting for.

But she had no way of knowing whether Meng Changce had expected such an opportunity.

"Madam?" Fanfan looked at Shen Lanyue, who was staring out the window in a daze, and looked at her in confusion while packing her things. "Madam, are you reluctant to leave?"

Shen Lanyue came back to her senses, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "For the moment, I feel a little reluctant to leave."

Fanfan was also a little lost. She had adapted happily to life in Jiangbei and even liked the atmosphere here more.

"I'm a little reluctant too."

Shen Lanyue looked at her mumbling dejectedly, smiled and said jokingly: "Why not leave you here?"

"Madam!" Fanfan's eyes widened in disbelief. "I don't want that. I'll be wherever Madam is."

Shen Lanyue was amused by her appearance, and the irritability in her heart was immediately dispelled.

She looked at every flower and tree in the courtyard, every scene, indeed, these were all created by them, becoming particularly warm and beautiful. Life here really made Shen Lanyue feel free and happy.

She saw a different self here and experienced a life she had never had before.

It is also here that I discovered the real and different Meng Changce. To be honest, she was really reluctant to leave.

But Shen Lanyue knew very well that she would not stay here, and neither could Meng Changce.

This place is more like a dream. When they leave here, the two of them will have to put on disguises and live cautiously under that person's eyes.

"When the little prince is born, maybe the marquis will bring the lady back." Fan Fan said excitedly with a blink of his eyes.

Shen Lanyue was stunned for a moment, then gently stroked her belly and smiled faintly.

She did not answer the general question.

Just like she was not sure about her past life, she didn't even have any impression of the Second Prince's wife who died so miserably now.

Zheng Shurong, the Second Prince was forbidden to speak in the palace, and no one took the initiative to mention him.

In her previous life, she only knew a little bit from Li Wenxuan, and there were even fewer rumors about the Second Prince's wife.

But one thing Shen Lanyue was sure of was that Zheng Shurong definitely did not lose her life in such a tragic way in her previous life, because the Second Prince had never appeared in the capital when she died.

In other words, Li Xuli in his previous life never returned after leaving the imperial city.

-------------------------------------

The rain outside the house was falling continuously, turning the sky into a big hole, and it was gloomy and continuous.

Rain was flowing down from the eaves, and one of Xin Yuan's shoulders was already wet. He hesitated at the door and stopped when he was about to knock.

Pacing back and forth.

The guard standing on the other side glared at him again and again, looking as if he was disappointed in him.

Xin Yuan rolled his eyes at his good brothers.

"Your Highness, I'm coming in."

The room was completely silent, without any sound.

Xin Yuan gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, picked up the lunch box and pushed the door.

What came into view was a coffin with no one inside. Xin Yuan's heartbeat stopped.

He hurriedly put down the lunch box and quickly walked to the coffin. As expected, he saw the princess lying in the coffin, hugging her who had already passed away.

The decadent and lifeless Li Xuli no longer looked like the lively and contented general. His clothes were in a mess as he had not had time to change them due to his hasty journey. Now Li Xuli looked like he was hanging on by his last breath.

Xin Yuan felt a pang in his heart when he saw this, and tears were about to well up in the eyes of this tall and strong man.

As the personal bodyguard of the Second Prince, he knew him best and had never seen Li Xuli in this state.

He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and the unpleasant pain in his throat as if something was blocking it. It took him a long time to recover and he said, "Your Highness, you haven't had a good meal for a few days. You should eat something."

The man in the coffin didn't move, even his breathing was shallow.

"The princess wouldn't want to see you like this either." Xin Yuan said, gritting his teeth.

Li Xuli frowned slightly, then opened his eyes and looked at him in a daze.

Xin Yuan was delighted to see his reaction.

"You see, the princess loves cleanliness the most. She would say something to you if she saw you getting yourself dirty outside. She is also the one who is most worried about your health. Why don't you go out and wash up first?"

Li Xuli's handsome face froze, as if he had just come to his senses, and a hint of panic appeared.

Just as he was about to speak, his throat became hoarse and he couldn't utter a single word.

He looked at the quiet and powerless person, the person who would never glare at him in reproach again, and his heart began to ache violently, and the surging emotions in his heart rushed to his throat.

"Never again..."

Sad, hoarse and intermittent voice.

Xin Yuan suppressed the bitterness in the corners of his mouth and said nothing. He clenched his hanging hands tightly and walked out silently.

The guard waiting at the door saw Xin Yuan come out and ran to him.

Xin Yuan gritted his teeth and shook his head helplessly.

Finally, there was a sigh.

It rained continuously all night. The next day, Li Xuli finally left the room. He looked at the person guarding the door silently and said, "Have someone prepare water for bathing."

The guard at the door looked at him in surprise, and for a moment he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Li Xuli looked at the road after the rain and did not speak or move for a long time. After a while, he clenched the things in his hands, and his dark eyes were filled with a coldness as solid as a solid.

He walked down the stairs and looked back at the dark room, his pupils constricted and dim.

Three days later, Li Xuli and his group returned to the capital city they had been away from for a long time.

Under the imperial city, Emperor Yingde had been waiting for a long time. He looked at his son whom he had not seen for a long time, and he did not know what to feel for a moment.

Li Xuli walked step by step to the front of Emperor Yingde. The once close father and son now looked at each other with strange eyes.

"Xu Li pays respects to his father."

He knelt down and kowtowed.

Emperor Yingde's eyes were moved. He looked at his son, then at the coffin behind him, and his heart softened.

He helped the man up himself.

The expressions of Li Wenxuan and Li Jing behind Emperor Yingde changed, which was extremely exciting.

"Mother."

The queen's heart trembled. How could she not see how haggard her son was now? She felt like a stone was pressing on her heart.

She pinched her palm, suppressed her emotions, and nodded to Li Xuli.

With Li Jing behind her, she couldn't reveal the slightest bit of excitement. Now that her son was back, she could finally pave the way for him in an honest way.

It’s a pity for the child Shurong.
