"Marquis Zhuo Wen?"

Shen Ji raised his eyes and glanced at the three people with different expressions. He seemed to feel something in his heart and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you also know the person Bai Ji mentioned?"

Fang Xu's eyes were a little dodgeful, and for the first time he felt that he couldn't answer the words, "I heard something."

Shen Ji frowned slightly and said in a sad tone, "Madam, you have broken up with me?"

Fang Xu was stunned, "Why do you say that?"

Shen Ji's face was hurt, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he said in a low voice, "If there wasn't a gap between you and me, why would you want to hide it?"

Fang Xu raised his eyebrows in shock and said softly, "I didn't want to hide it from you, I just didn't know how to tell you."

Shen Ji looked at her quietly like a little daughter-in-law who had been greatly wronged.

Fang Xu had no choice but to tell the truth, "Bai Ji found out that your life experience may be related to Marquis Zhuo Wen. Your age and experience match. This is a good thing, but..."

Fang Xu paused and softened his voice, "Marquis Zhuo Wen couldn't see his wife being sad, so he took a boy from a side line to raise. He should be about the same age as you."

Fang Xu's words fell into Shen Ji's ears word for word, making him lose his mind and freeze in place.

After a long while, his voice sounded in the room.

"I thought it was such a big deal." Shen Ji's throat was dry and his voice became hoarse, "I don't care."

When his eyes fell on him, Fang Xu frowned, as if his heart was suddenly pricked by a needle.

Even though Shen Ji's tone was calm and calm, his subconscious reaction couldn't deceive anyone.

He clearly cares.

The light in Shen Ji's eyes dissipated, but he turned his head to pretend to be calm, not wanting others to see his vulnerability.

Before he got the answer, he must have fantasized about what his parents would look like countless times.

"There are still some things at home..."

"Shen Ji." Fang Xu stood up slowly, his eyes fell on him, and said softly, "Let's go take a look."

Shen Ji paused, looked at her, and murmured, "What?"

"Go and see your biological parents." Fang Xu had a firm face and a solemn tone, "There are many regrets in life. If you don't understand this matter, it will become a knot in your heart in the future."

Shen Ji's eyes flashed slightly, his face was a little pale, and he whispered, "To them, I might be a trouble."

Hearing this, Fang Xu sighed softly and lowered his eyes, not wanting to persuade him any more.

"But Madam is right. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I won't be at ease in this life."

Fang Xu suddenly raised his head and looked into a pair of clear and translucent eyes.

"Madam, would you like to go with us?"

Shen Ji spoke very slowly, staring at Fang Xu without blinking, as if he was afraid of being rejected by her.

Fang Xu smiled and nodded, "Of course."

Late in the evening, the carriage quietly stopped at the side gate of the Marquis Mansion.

Fang Xu was wrapped tightly, with a fur hat covering half of his face, and he was wearing plain clothes. He got into the car quietly when no one was prepared.

Shen Ji had been waiting in the car for a long time. When he saw her getting on the car, his originally pale handsome face turned a little red and smiled, "Excuse me, madam, but you still have to follow me." "I'm willing to, How can you say it's troublesome?" Fang Xu sat down on the spacious main seat, lifted his hat, and said with a smile, "My mother is watching over me, and Fanyin and Huixin have also grown a lot, so I don't need to spend all day. Just follow the worries and simply go out for a walk with you, which can be regarded as relaxing."

Shen Ji was sitting on the side seat. It looked a little crowded, but he was very satisfied. His eyes fell on Fang Xu, and the smile in his eyes became heavier. "I invited Xiu Mu with the emperor, and Hurong County is inseparable." It’s far away, three days of driving is enough for a round trip.”

Fang Xu nodded, looked at Shen Ji, and said hesitantly, "If you meet your biological parents, do you know what to say?"

Shen Ji was speechless and remained silent for a long time without saying a single word.

In a strange place, with strange parents, even Shen Ji, who was very good at talking, couldn't think of a way.

Seeing that he was in trouble, Fang Xu comforted him softly, "That's all, don't force yourself, just take it one step at a time."

Shen Jiqiang smiled and said in a very soft voice, "It all depends on Madam."

The wheels turned, running over the bluestone road, heading towards the outskirts of Beijing.

Shoukang Palace

"Mother, I heard Zhuo Ming say that you have something to do to find your son?" Yuan Chen stepped into the hall with a calm expression, "But what's the important matter?"

"It is indeed an important matter." Queen Mother Zhu was sitting at the top. Seeing Yuan Chen coming over, she waved to him with a loving smile, "Come and sit down."

Yuan Chen hid the sharpness in his eyes and sat down obediently.

"Now that you are here, the Queen Mother will tell you some things directly." Empress Dowager Zhu said with a sneer on her face and a tone of discussion in her voice, "You have been on the throne for a while, how come you don't have any idea about the relationship between men and women?"

"It's okay if we don't have a harem. If you stay with Shen Ji, Xie Li and the others all day long, wouldn't you..."

Seeing that Queen Mother Zhu's eyes were getting weirder and weirder, Yuan Chen trembled and hurriedly explained, "Where did the Queen Mother think about it? My son just cherishes his talent and has no thoughts about Shen Qing and the others."

Hearing this, Queen Mother Zhu breathed a visible sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "There are so many ladies in the capital, but you haven't taken a fancy to any of them?"

"Emperor, as time goes by, it will inevitably arouse suspicion." Queen Mother Zhu sighed and murmured, "Even I, a mother, don't know if your sleeve is broken!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yuan Chen's face, and he said in a deep voice, "Mom, don't listen to those nonsense, my son is very normal."

"With your words, the Queen Mother is relieved." Queen Mother Zhu coughed lightly, and Aunt Chang from behind immediately came forward and placed a stack of portraits on the table.

Yuan Chen was stunned, his eyes suspicious, "This..."

"We've already talked about this, it wouldn't be appropriate if we don't do something." Empress Dowager Zhu sneered twice, and tapped the portrait with her red fingertips, "All the ladies of the right age in the capital are here, please be careful. Look, there will be a talent show in a few days to fill up the harem."

"Mother..." Yuan Chen helplessly held his forehead, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "The country is not stable, and the son has no intention of caring about love. Even if he has concubines, he will not set foot in the harem and select those rich ladies. Isn't that right? Harm them?"

"Emperor, you can't be..." Empress Dowager Zhu looked a little complicated and murmured, "You are still thinking about that girl Wan Zhou, right?"

Yuan Chen was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Seeing that he was absent-minded, the Queen Mother Zhu felt reassured and said earnestly, "Emperor, Wanzhou has been betrothed to Brother Yan. Naturally, the Lian family will not let this daughter-in-law go. Now that she is already a hairpin, she will get married soon." ”

"Besides, the Lian family is a century-old family, they are loyal from the bottom up, and we are cousins. They saved you from fire and water. How can you miss his wife?"

As the Queen Mother Zhu chattered endlessly, Yuan Chen's brows gradually relaxed, and the boulder weighing on his heart disappeared at this moment.

In the past, whenever the word "Xie Wanzhou" was mentioned, he would always be stunned for a long time, with a dull pain in his heart, but today was different from before.

Yuan Chen knew in his heart that he had completely let go of that person.

In the future, I will no longer be troubled by inner demons.
