Chapter 156 The Second Brother of the Shen Family
"Yan'er is not feeling well, it's better to stand and talk." Gu Chaobei looked at Shen Guiwu and frowned slightly.

Shen Guiyan's eyes were all red, and she didn't care what Gu Chaobei said. As soon as her feet hit the ground, she ran back to Shen Guiwu, looked up at him and said, "You're finally back."

Shen Guiwu was stunned for a while, looked at Shen Guiyan, then turned to look at Gu Chaobei, pursed his lips and knelt down.

Gu Chaobei rolled his eyelids, and his anger subsided a little.This man has some sharp eyesight.

"You don't need to salute outside." He said softly, "Brother Yan'er misses you so much, I came out with her to welcome you. Get in the car and go back to the palace."

Shen Guiyan helped Shen Guiwu, and pulled him to the emperor's side very naturally: "There is no one in the Shen residence, and you can see them in the palace later. I... still have something to tell you."

Gu Chaobei squinted at her and snorted.

This is really strange. Shen Guiyan is usually calm and calm. She comes and goes with a ball in her arms without making a fuss. She has never panicked when encountering anything. Today is just her brother's return. , her whole person seems to have changed.She didn't depend on him so much, leaning next to her brother, she looked like an innocent and ignorant girl.

This feeling is not very good. Originally, he planned to play the family card for Shen Guiwu, but now he made himself completely depressed.

Why has Yan'er never relaxed her trust in front of him like this?It's like removing all the armor from your body.

He failed to give her a sense of security?

Shen Guiwu lightly smiled and stroked Shen Guiyan's hair, then got into the inconspicuous carriage and returned to the palace around the path.

"Before I came back, I was still thinking about how you were doing and whether you would be wronged. Now it seems that there is no need to worry, because you are doing well." The young man who was full of killing spirit was only gentle when he met Shen Guiyan The eldest brother looked at her belly and said, "I have been away from the capital for too long, but fortunately I can come back now, in time for my nephew to be born."

Shen Guiyan pursed her mouth, her voice was a little hoarse: "Second brother, Yan'er is sorry for you."

"What?" Shen Guiwu raised his eyebrows.

"Aunt Qin... Aunt Qin is gone..." Pulling the corner of her brother's clothes, Shen Guiyan's eyes were like falling into the Milky Way, tears fell down: "I...I failed to protect her, she He even came to give me a wedding, combed his hair, and fell down. He said it was arsenic poisoning, but I failed to ask my father to find out the murderer."

The second elder brother and she both like Aunt Qin the most, such a gentle mother who protects them from growing up, obviously cowardly, but protects them to death every time.It's hard work, hard work, now she won't be bullied anymore, and the second brother is able to protect her when he comes back, but she has already melted into loess, and she doesn't even have time to enjoy the slightest blessing.

Shen Guiwu's eyes were also red, and his resolute face was so heavy that Shen Guiyan's heart tightened.

The second brother would scold her, he loved her the most since he was a child, but every time she made a mistake, it was always the second brother who came to teach her a lesson.

Shen Guiyan had already told Gu Chaobei in advance that this was her biological brother, no matter how much Shen Guiwu scolded him today, he must not be considered guilty.

Bite the bullet and waited for a while, but before the second brother scolded, a generous palm fell on her head.

What makes people cry the most is not cold curses, but a little bit of warmth in the cold.Shen Guiyan couldn't hold it back, and lay in her brother's arms, crying until the night fell.

"I don't blame you, you don't have the ability to protect her well." Second Brother Shen's voice also became hoarse: "At least you are still fine. Aunt Qin will be relieved to watch from the sky."

The crying in the carriage was not like a woman's gentle crying, but more like a child who had lost his way for a long time and finally found his home crying loudly.

Zhuiyun sat on the shaft of the car and slowed down.Hearing this cry made him feel sore, he didn't know what kind of distress his master would feel.

Gu Chaobei sat on the left side of the carriage, and the two brothers and sisters from the Shen family sat on the right. Those two seemed to belong to the same world, and he couldn't get in.

Yan'er is his, and the child in his stomach is also his, why now, he looks like an outsider.

The emperor was not in a beautiful mood, very not beautiful, with a gloomy face along the way, when he arrived at the Yonghe Palace, he did not get off the car, but squinted at Shen Guiyan and said: "You and General Shen go first, I will come back later."

"Okay." Shen Guiyan smiled and nodded, her tears had been wiped away, she got out of the carriage without looking at him, and began to tell Shen Guiwu about some recent things.Shen Guiwu followed her, turning his head gently to listen to her, if the two were not biological siblings, Gu Chaobei really wanted to rush over and chop Shen Guiwu.

It's easy to be an older brother, so what's the matter with being so gentle?
Kicking the wall of the car, the emperor said calmly, "Go to the North Palace."

Zhuiyun rubbed his nose, feeling that His Majesty's temper seems a little moody recently.

The Shen family was already waiting in the side hall, so Shen Guiyan went back first and changed into a palace attire. After dressing up, she brought Shen Guiwu into the front hall.

"The imperial palace is really a good place." Shen Guiwu smiled and said, "It's also suitable for you to raise your health."

Shen Guiyan tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "No one else knows about Yan'er's pregnancy, brother, don't tell it, or you'll hurt me."

Shen Guiwu was taken aback for a moment, pursed his lips and nodded.His younger sister has been smart since she was a child. She just listens to what she says, and she can't make mistakes anyway.

After tea and snacks were served in the front hall, Shen Guiyan asked Bao Shan to invite Master Shen and his wife.

He has already been sealed as a marquis, although he has no real power, he can still be regarded as a marquis. Master Shen looks radiant, and Mrs. Shen has regained her previous arrogance. After realizing it, he knelt down and saluted.

"Father." Shen Guiwu got up and nodded slightly to Master Shen.Master Shen looked at him, and couldn't help but think of Aunt Qin again, and smiled awkwardly.

"Father and mother, sit down." Shen Guiyan sat on the main seat, and said softly: "This time, the emperor is kind enough to let the two of you come to visit the palace. It just so happens that the second brother is back, and we can be regarded as a family reunion."

Mrs. Shen is 1 people who don't want to come. She doesn't like Shen Guiyan, but Shen Guiyan was born to be a noble concubine. She has the largest number in this harem, so she has to look at her face.

One of the most annoying things in life is to see the people you hate live better than yourself.

But there is no way, Shen Guiyan is fine, and the Shen family will be prosperous as well. She is almost going to be divorced by Master Shen, if she can have today's blessing, just bow her head.

"You are still the most up-to-date." Master Shen looked at Shen Guiyan and said with a smile: "The emperor also promoted the Shen family because of you. Now that Guiwu is in the army and Guiwen is also an official in the court, the Shen family Relatives also have their own strengths, and as a father, I have to thank you on their behalf."

Shen Guiyan smiled, but remained silent.

Shen Guiwu asked: "Father, I heard that Aunt Qin has passed away, so where is she buried?"

Master Shen's face froze, and he glanced at Bao Shi.

Bao squeezed her handkerchief and pursed her lips: "Where else? Of course...she was buried in the ancestral grave, after all, she was also a member of the Shen family, how could she be exposed to the wilderness..."

"You're lying." Shen Guiyan sneered.

Bao Shi was startled, his expression changed: "What do you mean by your mother's words?"

Shen Guiyan looked at her in a blink of an eye: "If Aunt Qin's grave is not in the Shen family's ancestor's grave, then what should I do? Mother knows that this is the imperial palace, and this palace is now the imperial concubine personally appointed by the emperor. It can be prevaricated.”

Bao's eyes wandered, and he said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't prevaricate, I just found her body and hid it in the ancestral grave. You... even if you are a noble concubine now, you are still from the Shen family. You must abide by the Shen family rules. For the sake of the Shen family, don't say you are not favored now, even if you are the favored queen, you don't have the right to shout at me!"

Not favored?Shen Guiwu glanced at Shen Guiyan in surprise. If he wasn't dazzled, the one who came to pick him up today is the current sage, right?If she was really not favored, why would Yan'er leave the palace with the emperor?It still looks so intimate.

Shen Guiyan laughed softly, got up and said: "I can't yell at you, then I will tell the emperor what I said. If you deceive the emperor, then you are the mother, and you have brought down the entire Shen family!"

Said to go out.

Bao's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly stood up to block Shen Guiyan. Before he could open his mouth, his shoulders sank, and several guards immediately detained her.

"Bold, you dare to stop the imperial concubine!" Baoshan stood up and said imposingly: "Madam, you can see clearly that this is the Yonghe Palace, not in your unreasonable courtyard. Offending the imperial concubine, whoever you are, They all have to be dragged out!"

Where has Bao ever been wronged like this, and he immediately said angrily: "I am an elder, even if she is a noble concubine, she is also a junior, and there is a reason for juniors to attack elders?"

Master Shen frowned and said: "Enough, you still don't feel ashamed enough, you want to make a fuss in this palace?"

Bao's eyes looked at Shen Guiyan resentfully, his face flushed with anger.

Standing in front of her, Shen Guiyan chuckled and said, "Yan'er won't do anything to mother, Yan'er respects mother very much."

"However, it's not Yan'er who is guarding you. Mother turned around and looked to the left. This guard is already a veteran of three generations. He is over forty years old. He is not your junior."

Shen Guiwu laughed, Master Shen didn't know what to say anymore.If it weren't for Bao's being Guiwen's biological mother, he really wanted to divorce this dishonorable wife.

Bao Shi was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and said in a low voice: "You are really a great concubine, it's a pity that you are not favored, next year I will send Guiyi to the palace, and then, let's see how proud you are!"

Bao Shan was so angry that she wanted to take advantage of the chaos and slap her twice. She was still an elder, selfish and short-sighted, did not do other things, and cheated her family. It was a disaster to have such a mother.

Shen Guiwu couldn't listen anymore, he didn't want to see this woman who abused their brother and sister since childhood, but he didn't expect that after so many years, she was still as arrogant.

Just as he was about to step forward and push this person out, the emperor, who had changed into a dragon robe, stepped in with one foot.He raised his head and his face was full of innocence: "The atmosphere doesn't seem right?"
