Chapter 49: Still Poor
Six people were kneeling under the viewing platform of the Shuangxing Festival. Another person ran from a distance and knelt at the feet of Shen Yixiang, begging.
"Father, father, it's all my fault. All the mistakes are because of my son. That crazy horse should have been my son's. I shouldn't have lent it out casually. It almost killed my brother Youchen. Thanks to my brother and sister.
We are here to prevent this disaster for our son." Others were afraid to avoid it, but Shen Yizheng took the initiative to stand up and take responsibility. His courage at such a young age is truly commendable.
"Okay, sacrifices are meant to be sacrificed to heaven. The ancestors wanted this horse, so it is a great honor for it." There was no good omen today, but he was panicked for a moment. Shen Yixiang didn't want to hear the folk rumors about the great horse.
Rumors about the Zhou Dynasty. Originally, the festival was to appease the world and hope for auspicious snow and good harvests in the coming year, and peace and prosperity. Even the little prince stood up to plead for mercy. Shen Yixiang could not convict anyone anymore, so he had to say: "Let's all be safe, I
If the rewards are not forthcoming, how can we talk about punishing them?”
"Thank you Lord for your kindness. My father is wise and mighty." Shen Yishuo stood up first and said. He knew that his father would not really punish anyone. After all, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, how can the emperor and his relatives judge?
"Your Majesty, you will live long and live forever, and your wealth will never be young." Others followed suit and thanked him one by one.
"It's just two women..." Shen Yixiang thought thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty..." Yun Wan just stood up and knelt down again. She was relieved, but when she heard the Emperor's words, her heart was in her throat again.
"Your Majesty, my little girl is not talented..." Dugu Xiaomeng saw Yun Wan kneel down again, and he immediately knelt down and said.
"Surui, I want to reward these two heroic women." Shen Yixiang looked at them from a distance just now and couldn't see the appearance of these two women at all. Now that he looked carefully, they both had beautiful faces. One was dressed in white and looked like snow.
The one who is pure and pure, and the one who is dressed in red is as delicate as fire, such a sharp contrast.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Yun Wan and Dugu Xiaomeng said in unison.
"Well, Your Majesty is wise and discerning. He was riding a horse at a gallop just now. They are so heroic. They are really two heroes." Eunuch Su agreed. The originally unchanging sacrificial ceremony became a little more interesting because of this unexpected chase and rescue.
It seemed that Eunuch Su was nervous and worried. Fortunately, the emperor was wise and stopped the confusion with a simple word.
Shen Yixiang squinted his eyes and waved his hands with a tired look. Eunuch Su shouted loudly: "Get up and go back to the palace." Then the ministers followed the royal family and marched slowly to Tianfu City.
"Sister Yun Wan, are you okay? You really scared me just now." Shen Yiyu only dared to visit Duanmu sister and brother when he saw his father walking away.
"It's okay, His Highness the Crown Prince was frightened." Yun Wan said politely.
"I'm really worried about my sister. As long as it's okay, if it's convenient, how about I take you siblings back home?" To be honest, Shen Yiyu just saw Yun Wan's royal horse galloping, and he admired it very much. The weak woman actually
His bravery and perseverance impressed him with admiration.
"Without bothering Your Highness the Crown Prince, Chen'er and I still have some things to do. Let's take our leave~" Yun Wan knew that the Emperor was choosing a concubine for the Crown Prince. The period was sensitive, and she should keep a distance from Shen Yiyu to avoid falling into the eyes of others and causing trouble.
.So she pulled Yuchen and followed the entire team, as if staying away from the prince would keep her away from right and wrong.
The peripheral vision was filled with Yuchen's haggard look. This good-looking young man had just been put in such a dangerous situation. Yun Wanhou was very scared. This was the lifeblood of the Duanmu clan. Yuchen's father died young. At that time, although the old lady
Heartbroken, but after all, there are still men who can continue the incense. Now Yuchen is the only man in the Duanmu tribe who can continue the bloodline. If there is another problem, how will she face her ancestors?
"I wonder why the horse is so frightened?" Yun Wan asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"The performance was fine before, but as soon as I turned around and shot the arrow, it started running wildly." When holding the horse's neck, Yuchen was indeed very scared. He had never seen a frightened horse, let alone how to deal with that situation.
"I wonder if I was shaken by the sound of the drums." Yun Wan guessed, but she had seen Yuchen and the others practicing in the school, and there was nothing unusual about the same drum sound.
"I'm trying to protect the fifth prince from disaster." Yuchen only thought it was a coincidence, not a trace of doubt.
"Why did the fifth prince want to change horses with you? Wasn't it already decided during the previous rehearsal?" Yun Wan felt strange.
"This horse was newly brought in today. I praised it as a fine horse, so Brother Zheng suggested to trade with me." Yuchen was very happy when he changed horses. He had been a little disgusted with his horse because it was thinner.
"I wonder what happened to the horse before the fifth prince?" Yun Wan muttered to herself.
"It seems that I have intestinal disease and I am very weak." Yuchen didn't understand why her sister was so worried. "Thank you, Sister Wan, for coming to save me so bravely."
"Silly boy, I have to save you. As long as my sister is here, you will be fine." Yun Wan patted Youchen's shoulder and comforted her in a very firm tone.
"Well, Sister Wan is the best." Youchen showed a bright smile to Yun Wan, as if he wanted to drive away the gloom on her face.
"I hope this is just a coincidence." Yun Wan smiled knowingly, she just wanted to be safe.
