The words were spoken quickly, and Mrs. Zhang strode in.

"Greetings to Concubine Chen." Mrs. Zhang knelt down to greet her as soon as she came in. Shen Ruochen noticed that her face was a little pale and a little tired. She must have been very tired in recent days.

"Madam, please get up quickly." Shen Ruochen hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Zhang up, "Madam, you have been working hard recently. Is everything okay at home?"

"Thanks to my empress, fortunately, the emperor also took good care of me and arranged a position for your brother in Dali Temple. Your brother has now taken up the post."

"The emperor has arranged a position for my brother?" Shen Ruochen was a little surprised. He hadn't heard about it yet.

"Yes, I also decreed that your father would be granted a higher title and be given more dignity, so when I entered the palace this time, I also kowtowed to express my gratitude to the emperor." Mrs. Zhang glanced at Shen Ruochen, "Mother, what are you wearing? It’s very bad, don’t wear it again.”

Shen Ruochen looked at the plain clothes he was wearing, and then at Mrs. Zhang, and then noticed that Mrs. Zhang was dressed appropriately, light and not so plain, so as not to bring bad luck to others on the big day. It was obvious that she had put a lot of thought into it. of.

"lady……"

"Empress, I know that you are thinking that your father has just passed away, so you want to show your filial piety. But you have forgotten that this is the royal family, and your father is also loyal to the country. You should take advantage of the emperor's heartache to do more for you. Fight for some benefits between yourself and Third Brother, how can you trap yourself here by yourself!"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Shen Ruochen, with a face full of criticism, "Not to mention the royal family, even if you marry into another family, are there any married girls who pay filial piety to their father in their husband's family? My wife was listening outside and said that you were still quarreling with the emperor. Well, it’s all thanks to the Emperor’s grace, otherwise the entire Shen family would be in trouble with you!”

Shen Ruochen stood up after being told and listened to Zhang's reprimand honestly, "If you don't think about others, you have to think about your aunt and yourself! The Shen family is unlucky. Do you think you can live well in this palace?" What?"

Shen Ruochen nodded, "Yes, Madam is right."

"Since you were a child, you thought you would fight for nothing, but I also know that you are not that stupid. While the emperor is treating you well, don't be so arrogant and live well!" Mrs. Zhang looked at Shen Ruochen and spoke seriously. He said, "Now that you have entered the palace and the third elder brother is getting older and older, you can't stay out of everything. Do you really think that no one will take your life? Now that your father is gone, you should too Understand something."

"But I really have nothing to do with the Emperor..."

"Shut up!" Ms. Zhang scolded directly, "Remember you are the emperor and his ministers! There is no love between the emperor and his ministers, it is just interests. When the emperor is well, you can be well. If you are well, the family can be well, and your brother can be well. Well, if your aunt can also recover, you will be able to live more freely!"

Shen Ruochen was stunned for a moment. His words were straightforward, but they were also spoken from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Ruochen said respectfully, "I remember it, kid."

"No! You didn't remember!" Mrs. Zhang looked at Shen Ruochen and asked solemnly, "Tell me, are you the daughter of the Shen family?"

"The child is naturally the daughter of the Shen family!"

"Then what should you do in the future?" Zhang asked in an interrogating tone.

Shen Ruochen understood what Zhang meant, and also understood that the Shen family might really need him now, and said, "Madam, I understand, I will greet the emperor with a smile in the future, help the eldest brother, and pave the way for the third elder brother in the future. "

"This is also helping yourself!" Mrs. Zhang looked at Shen Ruochen, "After such a long time, I'm afraid you can understand a little bit about other people's attitudes towards you."

Shen Ruochen nodded. Everyone in the world bullies the weak and fears the strong, and during these days, I also saw it clearly.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely work hard in the future to strive for our family..."

"There is no need to say this over and over again," Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, "Let me tell you, there is a very important thing right now. If this thing is done, your father will be able to rest in peace in heaven, and he will be more filial than wearing incense. What is a hundred times more important, but very dangerous, are you willing to do it?"

"What's going on?" Shen Ruochen asked strangely.

"Just say whether you are willing or not! Don't worry, even if you don't want to, I won't blame you. If you can take good care of the third elder brother in the palace, you are already a hero of our family."

Shen Ruochen didn't even think about it, "I am willing! Madam, tell me! If my father can rest in peace, I am willing to go through fire and water!"

"You don't have to go through fire and water, it's revenge! Are you willing to avenge your father and find the murderer?" Zhang said word by word.

"Revenge?" Shen Ruochen stood up in surprise, "Madam, you mean...my father was killed?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "This is the reason why I have to go to the palace to see you even if I stare at others. In addition to letting you serve the emperor well, I also want to avenge our Shen family!"

Mrs. Zhang slowly opened her palm, and in her palm was a waist badge with only the word "Ning" written on it.

"Ning?" Shen Ruochen asked, "Whose is this?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "I don't know about this, but your father sent this back in advance, saying that he has been very unlucky recently and seems to have offended someone he shouldn't. If something really happened, this is the evidence! But I've looked over and over again, but I can't find any clues. I'll bring this to you. You can take a look, or look for it in the palace. If your father was really killed, then he must not be an ordinary person. He must be in the palace!"

Shen Ruochen took the badge and his whole body was shaking. He couldn't believe that his father was really killed.

"Can you do it?" Mrs. Zhang stared at Shen Ruochen, "If you die before you do it, then just pretend that I didn't tell you. You don't have to do it to hurt the enemy by a thousand and yourself by eight hundred." !”

Shen Ruochen was silent for a long time, then he clenched the badge in his hand and said slowly, "Madam, please let me check slowly. Don't worry, I won't be rash."

"Okay, don't be in a hurry, search slowly, and you will always find some clues." Mrs. Zhang stood up slowly, and slowly knelt down towards Shen Ruochen, which frightened Shen Ruochen into hurriedly stepping forward to help him, "Madam, what are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Ms. Concubine Chen, Xiaowu... From now on, the Shen family will rely on you!" Mrs. Zhang did not stand up, but kowtowed to Shen Ruochen respectfully, "I will support you outside, even if it costs me my life. I’ll give it to you too.”

"Madam, please don't be like this, get up quickly," Shen Ruochen supported Zhang, "Madam hasn't looked at Third Brother for so long, can I go and bring him to you?"

"No need," Ms. Zhang waved her hand, "I have a filial piety on my body, and a child can't hold it back, so I'll just disappear this time. I'll leave now to avoid causing you any trouble."

Saying that Mrs. Zhang didn't need to be let go, she stubbornly left step by step. Looking at the back, Shen Ruochen held the waist badge in his hand tighter.
