Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 231 New Year's Eve
Shen Wanyu sat down on the kang couch as if her soul had been emptied.His eyes were empty, like a puppet that had lost its life.

Qiuzhu and Chunlan glanced at each other and opened their mouths.In the end, they all closed their mouths, they didn't know how to comfort Shen Wanyu.He could only stand quietly and accompany her silently.

There was a strange silence in the room, and the deep sadness emanating from Shen Wanyu's body made people feel involuntarily sad.

The scenes of the two getting along flashed through her mind, and a layer of mist quickly gathered in Shen Wanyu's eyes.The scene in front of him became blurred, as if covered with a layer of water vapor.

"No, he'll be all right. He promised me he'd come back safe and sound."

Shen Wanyu suddenly raised her head, a tear fell from her eye socket.After she said this out loud, her body went limp and passed out.

"Miss!"

Chunlan and the others exclaimed, and the room became a mess in an instant.

"Go and ask the doctor to come here."

Qiuzhu quickly looked at Chunlan beside her, and anxiously ordered.

Then He Rumengruhuan carried Shen Wanyu into the inner room, because everyone in the Hou Mansion knew about Yun Manrou's pregnancy.Even the queen and queen mother in the palace knew about it, so they specially sent an imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital to the Hou Mansion to protect Yun Manrou's pregnancy.

Chunlan didn't dare to delay, and ran out quickly.

After a while, the imperial physician was invited by Chunlan, and they anxiously gathered around the bed watching the imperial physician diagnose her pulse.

After a while, the imperial physician checked her pulse, prescribed a prescription and stood up.

"Miss is fine, it's a faint caused by a sudden fire attack. When you wake up, take some tranquilizing medicine, and you'll be fine."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, Qiu Zhu hurriedly walked up to Qian and sent the imperial doctor out politely.

Because of the news that Chu Mohan's life and death are still uncertain from the border, the entire capital is under a low pressure.The emperor recalled King Han urgently, and ordered him to go to the border to see what was going on.

On the Golden Luan Hall, the emperor with a gloomy face sat on the dragon chair.The heroic brows were tightly frowned, and there was an aura of stormy weather in the brows.

"My dear ministers, what's your opinion on the border issue?"

A low voice containing suppressed anger sounded in the quiet hall, and the ministers fighting on both sides lowered their heads.Hearing the emperor's voice, his body couldn't help shaking.

"I have something to say, the fate of Prince Han's missing son is uncertain now. The emperor sent King Han to the border to investigate, and we should wait for the results of the investigation before making a decision."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, although he was a little angry in his heart.But he was right, everything had to wait for the results of King Han's investigation before making a decision.

Just thinking of Chu Mohan's safety made his heart ache.After all, he is the child he likes, and he is so outstanding.

"Your Majesty, the whereabouts of Prince Han's son are unknown. It is said that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. This army is naturally the same, so I ask the emperor to pick another person to be the commander."

At this time, another minister also came out, speaking righteously.

"Well, Aiqing's design is right. Since I have sent King Han to go, King Han will be the coach this time."

The emperor's words have been let go, no one can try to persuade him to take back his words.

The face of the person who raised the opinion changed slightly, he raised his head, and immediately lowered his head with sharp eyes.All the ministers below remained silent, and it was better for the emperor to decide this matter himself.

This Prince Han's son is the most valued by the emperor, if something really happened because of what they said.Under the emperor's wrath, those who gave opinions will definitely be implicated.

The emperor looked at those ministers who bowed their heads in silence, and felt depressed for a while.He winked at the eunuch beside him, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"If no one else has anything to say, then retreat."

After speaking, he stood up and left without giving the ministers below a chance to speak.

"Retreat!"

A eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice sounded, and then the chief eunuch followed the emperor's footsteps and left the Golden Luan Hall.

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

This low pressure has been maintained until the end of the year, New Year's Eve.

Shen Wanyu sat leaning against the window, looking through the open window at the colorful lights outside.From time to time, the sound of firecrackers sounded, full of joyful New Year's spirit.

"Miss, today is New Year's Eve. Now everyone is at the old lady's place, shouldn't we go there?"

Qiuzhu took out the orangutan red sable fur cape from the cabinet, and looked at Shen Wanyu who was sitting by the window in a daze.

After waiting for a while, she didn't respond, so she glanced at Rumeng beside her.The eyes of the two were full of helplessness, and since the young lady woke up, they have not mentioned Prince Han's son.

Everything was as if nothing had happened, and I ate and slept normally every day, and went to the old lady and the lady to chat with Ann.It's just that she is obviously much quieter than before, sitting by the window from time to time in a daze, no one knows what she is thinking.

Like now, they call her.She doesn't care, she's always in a trance.

"Miss, it's time to go to the old lady."

Qiuzhu sighed, stepped forward a few steps and walked to Shen Wanyu's side.He stretched out his hand and gently pushed Shen Wanyu's shoulder, and spoke softly.

Shen Wanyu felt that someone was pushing her, she recovered her senses and looked at Qiuzhu.After being slightly taken aback, he nodded.

"Well, let's go."

She stood up and was about to go out. Seeing this, Qiu Zhu quickly put the orangutan red sable fur cloak on her body.He took the stove from Chunlan and stuffed it into Shen Wanyu's hands.

Several people followed her, left Yuyuan and walked towards the old lady's Anluyuan.

When Shen Wanyu brought Qiuzhu and the others there, everyone was already gathered in the warm pavilion and chatting.I don't know what topic to talk about, the room is full of laughter.

Maybe it was because of New Year's Eve, everyone's faces were full of joy.It is rare that there were no quarrels, and we got along very harmoniously.

"Yu'er, you are here, sit next to grandma."

Seeing Shen Wanyu coming in, the old lady's smiling eyes fell on Shen Wanyu.Looking at the pale little face, it was obviously a lot thinner than before.Distress flashed in her eyes, it seemed that Chu Mohan's disappearance had hit her too hard.

Shen Wanyu heard her grandmother's words, and very obediently walked to her side and sat down.

"Grandmother, Yu'er is late."

"No, you haven't been in this body for a long time. You need to take good care of yourself. You can see that you have lost a lot of weight."

The old lady touched Shen Wanyu's slap-sized face with distress. There was not much flesh in the first place, and now it is much less.

"Grandma, I see. I will take good care of myself and worry you."

Shen Wanyu shook her head, and she put her head on her grandmother's body.The faint sandalwood fragrance from her grandmother calmed Shen Wanyu's heart.

The old lady patted Shen Wanyu's shoulder lightly, giving her silent comfort.

"Big sister, your face is so ugly. Do you want the doctor to take a good look at it?"

Shen Wanqing put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at Shen Wanyu with worry on her face.The corners of Yan Hong's mouth curled up, but a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.She really hoped that Shen Wanyu would fall down because of Chu Mohan's matter, which would save her a lot of trouble.

Shen Wanyu raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Shen Wanqing lightly.There was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly.

"Thank you, my second sister, for your concern. I know my own body best. It's just a cold, and it will be fine after a while. You should take good care of your body. If something goes wrong, it's not too good. After all, as a concubine of the crown prince, it is better to have a healthy body."

These words seemed to be a concern and a reminder to Shen Wanqing, but it made Shen Wanqing's face slightly stiff.The smile on the corner of his mouth froze even more, then he turned his head away and didn't speak again.

It's just that the hand hidden under the long sleeve was tightly clenched.She pursed her lips, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.During this period, she always felt weak and dizzy.I got a doctor to see it, and said it was caused by a lack of Qi and blood.But I prescribed some blood-tonifying medicine, but it still didn't work after taking it.

She didn't tell anyone about this matter. Only her mother and a few big maids who served her personally knew about the whole Hou Mansion.Now that she heard Shen Wanyu's words, she narrowed her eyes slightly, wondering whether her physical discomfort had something to do with her.

Shen Wanyu didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Wanqing anymore, she just leaned in her grandmother's arms, looked coldly at the other aunts in the room, and looked at the fourth aunt who was punished by her grandmother to kneel down.She was more silent than before, without any sense of presence.

"Old lady, the meal is ready."

Nanny Shen came in from the outside with a beaming smile on her face.

The old lady nodded when she heard the words, and looked at everyone with a smile: "Okay, let's eat."

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, a string of maids walked in from outside, all carrying dishes in their hands and placing them on the big round table.In a short time, the whole big round table was filled with wine and food.

Everyone gathered around the table and ate a New Year's Eve dinner happily.After the meal, fireworks and firecrackers were set off in the yard, and they frolicked for a while.

Shen Wanyu stood at the door, looking coldly at the people frolicking in the yard.She rubbed her sore forehead, then turned to look at the grandmother who was looking at everyone with a loving smile on her face.

"Grandma, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back first."

The old lady saw that her face was not looking well, so she nodded: "Well, it's cold outside. Go back and have a good rest. I'll send someone to deliver the dumplings in the middle of the night."

Shen Wanyu nodded, greeted the others, and left Anlu Yuan with Qiuzhu.

Walking through a silver-white back garden, he walked towards his own yard.When she walked into the courtyard and walked through the bamboo forest, she raised her head slightly and looked forward.

Shen Wanyu's clear and indifferent pupils suddenly shrank, and her body froze involuntarily.The stove she was holding fell to the ground with a clang.In this silent night, it was extraordinarily clear and piercing.
