Chapter 19: The Storm (3)

"Why?" I can't figure it out, Wen Luozhang has already sat in the position of prime minister, and has made outstanding contributions to the imperial court, why should such a person force him to a dead end?

"The reason is very simple, Gong-Gao-Zhen-Lord!" Leng Buding, Yuan Zhiyu, who had not spoken before, suddenly spoke, startling me, and it took a while to recall what he had just said.

"Hasn't anyone lived in it since?Wouldn't it be a waste for such a big mansion to be so empty?" I don't want to know too much about Wen Luozhang's story, because I know that no one else knows anything about this kind of power struggle, except for the person concerned. Comparatively, I pay more attention to the mysterious house.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know this. Yuan Zhiyu blinked in a tricky way, lowered his voice and said, "It is said that this house is often haunted at night..."

"Wow-" Before Yuan Zhiyu's words were finished, I was so frightened that I threw myself into Yuan Zhize's arms, trembling all over. Yuan Zhiyu, you have no conscience, you don't say anything good, why do you have to say something I'm afraid of.

Seeing that I was scared like this, Yuan Zhiyu laughed proudly, and Yuan Zhize comforted me: "That's all a lie, it's about to be demolished, and the imperial court wants to build an armory in that place." ”

Lying in Yuan Zhize's arms, my frightened heart gradually eased, thinking of the Wen family who was wiped out, and then thinking about myself, I suddenly felt a heartache, my family also suffered a catastrophe, fortunately I survived, but what about their family...

The autumn breeze is like a naughty child, chasing through the doors and windows, and happily pouring into the palatial palace, provocatively lighting candles and swaying.

The four of us sat casually around the table full of sumptuous and delicate delicacies, after all, we hadn't been together for a while, and there was no one else around, so the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, I toast you. Wanyun, who had already drunk a few glasses in a row, was a little drunk, her cheeks looked even more rosy under the reflection of the light, and the hand holding the wine glass was also slightly trembling.

"Wanyun, I wish you happiness!" I picked up the cup in front of me, sent my blessings to the young couple in front of me, and then drank the mellow in the cup.

"Alright, drink less, beware of getting drunk. Yuan Zhiyu reminded Wanyun carefully while adding wine. Seeing Wanyun's dazed look, Yuan Zhiyu played a clever trick and pretended to fill the cup after only half of it.

Who would have thought that Wanyun would actually see through his ghost trick, grabbed Yuan Zhiyu's hand that was about to be recycled, and poured his wine glass hard, and his mouth was not idle: "Miss Ben is not even afraid of the emperor, she is still afraid... Are you still afraid of these glasses of wine?"

"Wanyun, tell me about your meeting with the emperor. Wanyun's words aroused my interest, after all, I was going to enter the palace tomorrow to pay a visit, and I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, don't worry, the emperor is very good. As soon as she talked about this, Wanyun immediately became interested and talked about the experience of the day: "When I entered the palace at that time, I was also a little worried, but after seeing the emperor himself, I was not so nervous when I saw him smiling, and the emperor also chatted with me a lot of family life." ”

"What did my father talk to you about?" Yuan Zhize also looked interested.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just that the emperor asked about some of the situation at home, and then I sang two little songs to the emperor, and the emperor praised me for singing well. ”

"Really?" It seems that Wanyun is indeed very pleasing to the emperor, Yuan Zhize smiled and said to Yuan Zhiyu on the side: "My father has always treated people very coldly, I didn't expect Wanyun to be able to get along with him." Third child, you have to treat Wanyun well, with her by your side, your father shouldn't hate you as much as before. ”

"That's natural, being able to marry Wanyun as a wife in this life is really a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life. Seeing that Wanyun was drunk and hazy, Yuan Zhiyu carefully picked up the handkerchief wrapped in ice cubes on the side of the table and helped Wanyun cold compress her cheeks that were burned red by wine.

"Brother, I'm going to be a ** son, can you tell me today if you have ever liked me?" The night wind rustled the big trees outside the house, Wanyun suddenly pushed Yuan Zhiyu's hand away, raised her head to look at Yuan Zhize, and saw that her blurred eyes were full of grievances, and my heart couldn't help but pound.

"Yun'er, you're drunk. In the face of Wanyun's sudden questioning, Yuan Zhize responded to all changes with no change, and Yuan Zhiyu on the side did not expect this sudden situation, his hand holding the handkerchief froze in mid-air, and his eyes looked at his bride a little dullly.

Seeing that Yuan Zhize didn't mean to respond at all, Wanyun's face was full of disappointment, and then buried her face deep in the crook of her arm, and said incoherently: "You know... Do you know how much I was..."

"Okay, okay, Sister Yun, I see you're drunk, I'll help you go back to rest." Realizing that the situation was serious, Yuan Zhiyu hurriedly got up and wanted to help Wanyun up, but he didn't want to be met with fierce resistance.

"I'm not drunk... Let go of me..."Now Wanyun seemed to be a little delirious under the stimulation of alcohol, desperately trying to break free from Yuan Zhiyu's arms. In the chaos, several bottles and cans were knocked over to the ground, making a crisp cracking sound, and several maids heard the movement and pushed the door in, seeing the scene in front of them, they hesitated for a moment, but still retreated silently.

"Wanyun, be obedient, hurry up and go back to sleep, come, sister will help you." I also got up to help, but Wanyun ignored my outstretched hand and still cried.

"Let's do it with me!" Just as the two of us were busy with Wanyun, Yuan Zhize, who was behind him, suddenly stood up and walked forward slowly.

It's strange to say that Wanyun, who had been crying before, suddenly quieted down at this moment, and stood honestly in place like a child who had made a mistake, silent.
