After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

In the study.

Gu Shi carefully handed the two portraits, whose ink had already dried, to Chen Shiliu. "When you ask someone to make a copy, be careful and make sure it's identical to my manuscript."

Chen Shiliu recognized the person in the portrait and looked at Gu Shi, wanting to persuade him to do something. However, after meeting Gu Shi's gaze, he didn't dare to say anything.

He solemnly took the portrait and left quickly.

He was only thinking about finding Su Liuxi as soon as possible, and didn't notice that Gu Shi's frown didn't relax at all as he watched him leave.

When Su Liuxi came back, she happened to meet Chen Shiliu who was looking for her with a portrait.

"I've met the princess."

Su Liuxi saw the portrait in Chen Shiliu's hand at a glance.

"What are you going to do?"

"The prince ordered his men to make rubbings of the portrait and search for the person."

Chen Shiliu saw that Su Liuxi was surrounded by maids and old women, so he didn't want to speak too directly.

Besides, those two people are now forgotten by their masters in Prince Rong's Mansion. The masters do not allow them to be mentioned, so naturally the servants do not mention them either.

Su Liuxi took the portrait handed over by Chen Shiliu.

When she saw the person in the portrait clearly, her hand holding the portrait tightened slightly.

Thinking of what Su Yong said to her before he left, Su Liuxi let out a breath.

"Go ahead and make a clear copy so that no one can mistake it."

Chen Shiliu thought he had heard it wrong and looked at Su Liuxi in confusion.

Su Liuxi nodded at him and said, "Go ahead."

Chen Shiliu didn't ask any more questions.

To him, the Princess is like a mentor to him. Without the Princess, he would not be who he is today.

Gu Shi stood under the corridor and took in the entire interaction between the two.

...

Nanyuan.

Late at night, the north wind was howling.

Small East Palace.

In the grand bedroom, the ground dragon is as warm as spring.

Not far from the bed, there were three charcoal braziers burning with great fire.

Murong Jingyan started awake from his sleep.

He was covered with five or six thick quilts, which almost made it difficult for him to breathe.

But it still doesn't help.

He Hong's voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, are you going to get up at night?"

Murong Jingyan sat up from the bed wrapped in a quilt.

"Please help me add two charcoal basins."

I don’t know if this winter is particularly cold.

In previous years, I only needed to cover myself with three quilts and two charcoal braziers to keep myself warm, but this year, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get warm.

It's not that he didn't suspect that there was something wrong with his body.

However, he had secretly changed several doctors, and the doctors all gave the same answer.

I can't figure out why he's feeling cold...

For some reason, he remembered the porcelain bottle that Shen Xi handed him two nights ago.

When you touch the porcelain vase, you can even feel the residual temperature on the vase...

He gently twisted his fingertips and rubbed it, and the scent of her medicine seemed to still linger between his nostrils.

He Hong led the servant into the room and added two pots of charcoal fire.

After the servant left, He Hong took out a small bamboo tube from his arms that was specially tied to the leg of the messenger eagle.

"Your Highness, news about He Xuan."

Murong Jingyan wrapped himself in a thick fox fur coat, got out of bed and walked behind the desk.

Her usually bright red lips were now extremely pale.

He took the small bamboo tube and scraped off the wax seal with his dagger.

After reading the contents of the letter, his eyes gradually became deep.

...

Three days have passed since Du Heng discovered that Shen Rou was pregnant.

The news that the Prince of Anping was determined to break off the engagement with the second daughter of the Shen family caused a sensation in Yecheng.

"Don't tell me, at that time, this Anping Marquis's son swore that he would only be with Miss Shen Er in his life, but not long after, he wants to break off the engagement with Miss Shen Er. Isn't this making a fool of the Shen family?"

"Well, it's all Miss Shen's fault for not living up to her expectations. She didn't cherish such a good fiancé like the Prince of Anping, and even got pregnant with someone else..."

"Don't say anything careless. My second cousin's eldest sister-in-law's son works as a handyman in the Shen residence. He saw the second Miss Shen from afar. She was a well-behaved and well-mannered girl. It's impossible for her to do such a shameless thing. I think it's probably that the Anping Marquis's son has changed his mind."

While the people outside were making all kinds of speculations, the atmosphere in the Shen Mansion was low.

Old Madam Shen has been extremely worried about Shen Rou's affairs these days.

It would have been bad enough that Zhang was lying in bed, dying and needing someone to take care of her, but even her daughter was a source of worry.

If it weren't for their previous relationship, she would have thrown the mother and daughter out long ago.

How could Shen Rou have the right to cry in front of her?

"Tell me, whose child is it?"

The Anping Marquis's Mansion is now determined to cancel the engagement.

In the end, all efforts were in vain.

Old Madam Shen would never allow such a thing to happen.

At this point, Shen Rou also realized the seriousness of the matter.

She secretly glanced at Madam Shen, lowered her head and whispered, "It's...it's Ming Tan's."

"what?"

Old Madam Shen thought she had heard wrongly.

Looking at Shen Rou again, the tears on the latter's face were falling like money, and she looked at Old Man Shen pitifully.

"Ming Qin said that he is sincere to me and he will marry me as long as I get pregnant."

Ming Tan was the youngest son of Grand Tutor Ming's concubine's son.

That show-off who has a low status in the Grand Tutor's Mansion and is uneducated and unskilled is basically a useless person except for his mouth that can coax people.

Old Madam Shen almost fainted.

"You are confused."

She looked at Shen Rou with deep sorrow, "What did I tell you before? I asked you to get close to Ming An, so why did you end up hooking up with Ming Qin?"

Shen Rou looked aggrieved, "But...but Ming'an is cruel and disabled. My granddaughter really...really..."

I don't dare to approach that person.

"Are you still feeling wronged?" Old Madam Shen gnashed her teeth to the point of breaking them. "How can you have the nerve to feel wronged?"

I originally thought that compared to Shen Xi, that wild girl who came back from the countryside, she would at least be smarter and could catch both ends.

I didn't expect that I would be controlled by a useless bastard...

"If things continue to get worse, it will sooner or later involve the Grand Tutor's Mansion, you idiot."

Shen Rou shrank back, "But...but, Ming Qin already knows, and he even said...he would marry me."

The words that were on the tip of Mrs. Shen's tongue got stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken or swallowed.

No matter how useless Ming Tan is, he is still a member of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

He was not restrained when he was young, and now he is less than 25 years old, his body has been hollowed out, and it is really difficult for him to have children.

If we abort the child hastily, the Grand Tutor's Mansion might not agree...

After weighing the pros and cons, Mrs. Shen's expression gradually softened.

"Forget it, you should step back and take good care of yourself."

Shen Rou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady asked her to step back and recuperate, saying that she would resolve the matter.

Thinking that her future life was in her own hands, Shen Rou's tone became much lighter, "Thank you, grandma, for loving your granddaughter."

After Shen Rou left, Old Madam Shen rubbed her temples tiredly.

Her eyes were closed, and no one knew what she was thinking.

It was not until Nanny Liu came back after sending Shen Rou away that she began to give orders.

"Where's the young lady? Let her come over."

"Madam, the eldest lady went to the Little East Palace early this morning."
