Chapter 32

"Since my sister has seen the clues, don't you want to know why Yun'er took such great pains to invite you over?"

The dormitory was empty, only me and her, and Yun'er's voice, with a faint smile, had the same aura as Mandala. โˆฎ Yan Moxuan โˆฎ ad-free โˆฎ

"If you want to see me, just let someone pass on a word, what's so difficult about that?" I looked at her flowery smile and said quietly: "Why do you have to let Dark Fragrance suffer this sin. โ€

She smiled coldly: "There are so many pairs of eyes in the East Palace, if I send someone to invite you, it won't take long for every word we say to reach the ears of His Royal Highness the Prince, so I can only wait for you to take the initiative to come and see me." But after waiting for so many days, I can't wait, and the current situation does not allow me to continue waiting, then, only because of the illness of the dark incense that has attracted you, can it be done seamlessly, and no one will be suspicious. โ€

I looked at her and said lightly: "She's just a child, won't you feel guilty if you let her suffer like this?"

Yun'er still smiled indifferently, and opened her mouth coldly: "Sister, you blame me for this." The idea was what I thought, but it was Dark Fragrance who soaked herself in cold water on this frosty night, which caused the high fever to not subside. I asked the imperial doctor, of course, to let the whole of the East Palace know about her illness, but it was because she refused to take the prescription of the imperial hospital, and fell asleep without a quilt at night, which caused her illness to recur. She told me that in this case Shuying would beg you to take her into the prince's mansion to visit her, so that I could see you. โ€

I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "She's just a fourteen-year-old. โ€

Yun'er smiled: "So I said that you should really feel sorry for Shuying, so she can keep her true temperament." โ€

I looked at her, my own sister of the same father and mother, and I only felt that I had never understood her, and the face that was once familiar was now so strange.

"So, what do you want to say to me when you go to such great lengths to lure me here?"

After a while, I heard my own voice, calm and unwavering, and all the tiredness and melancholy were well collected and unrevealed.

She smiled, looked at me silently for a moment, and then asked softly: "It has been more than ten days since His Royal Highness left Shangjing, does the second sister know where he has been now?"

Although her words were light, I clearly felt that there must be something wrong in it, I looked into her eyes without blinking, and replied: "Guanshan is far away, and the letter is difficult to trust, except for the five days ago, His Royal Highness brought a letter back to the house to report that he was safe, I have not received any news from him, according to the footsteps, it should probably be to Youzhou." โ€

"No, it's Liangzhou. Yun'er closed her eyes slightly, and didn't pay attention to the panic in my heart, straightened up, went to the front door and window to take a closer look, and made sure that there was no one around, so she turned back to the bed and took out a stack of pieces of paper in a secret compartment.

She handed me the piece of paper, and she didn't say anything, and there was a deep light and shadow in her beautiful eyes.

I knew that there must be a reason for her words and actions, so I didn't ask much at the moment, but took the piece of paper in her hand without hesitation and read it carefully.

The more I read, the more frightened and uncontrollable I became, and the chill spread.

I handed her back the piece of paper, and she took it, and burned it to ashes with a candle, and said lightly: "Originally, it was for my sister to see, Yun'er took the risk to keep it until today, and now, I can finally feel at ease." โ€

I looked at her fixedly, and asked with an unusually calm voice: "The army is on the move, and the beginning and end process are all top military secrets, not to mention the records on the pieces of paper, even the smallest places are meticulously written. How did you get these?"

"That's why I did whatever it took to bring my sister over. Yun'er's beautiful eyes looked at me for a moment, and she said word by word: "The content on this piece of paper is all the information that the prince must obtain every day, I don't know how he obtained it, but I know that he is looking forward to it all the time." โ€

"How could he let you know about something so confidential?" I asked silently, my gaze locking on her pretty eyes without blinking.

"If he doesn't shy away from letting me know, why should I go to such trouble even to see you?" Yun'er smiled: "Once when he was staying in my Ruihuang Building, there was such an urgent letter delivered, and he could refrain from leaving under that situation, so I knew that this must be extraordinary." โ€

She said it vaguely, but I was not ignorant, so I could understand what she meant. Just keep silent and listen to her voice continue to come.

"Later, I paid attention to it, and although he hid these pieces of paper in concealment, he let me find them. So I took advantage of the time when he entered the palace to manage the government, or when he was very tired and sleepy at night, secretly took out these pieces of paper and copied them, and then put them in their original form. So what my sister just saw was not the original, but the content was exactly the same. โ€

My heart shook, but my face was extremely calm, I looked deeply into her eyes, and asked word by word: "Yun'er, since you have married into the East Palace, why are you telling me this now?"

She lowered her eyes, and smiled dispensably after a while, but she didn't answer my question, but said to herself: "If the prince can get these news, he must have installed eyes and ears in the army, but I am afraid that his position is not low." If the news I overheard is true, then even the peace of the chaos is just a pretense, and His Royal Highness is afraid that this trip will be more auspicious and less auspicious, and he will fall into the trap of borrowing a knife to kill people. โ€

I was silent, just looked at her deeply, and she looked at me for a long time, and finally laughed self-deprecatingly: "That's it, it seems that if I don't make everything clear to you today, you won't believe me." Second sister, do you remember where this marriage between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began?"

I didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, and while recalling, I responded: "I heard from my mother, you and the prince met by accident when they were enjoying the lanterns in Shangyuan last year, and they fell in love with each other at first sight. โ€

She laughed, as if with reminiscence, obviously gorgeous and unparalleled, but always made people feel sad.

She looked at me with a slightly cool smile in her voice: "It's true that it's the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, but the person I met is not Nan Chengmian, but His Royal Highness." โ€

My heart was suddenly shocked, and I looked at her in shock, and Yun'er didn't seem to notice my look at all, continued to smile slightly, and opened my mouth: "I fancy a palace lantern, but I can't guess its lantern riddle, it just so happens that he passed by, and he didn't even need to think about it, so he easily won the palace lantern for me that was the envy of many people......"

There was a reminiscence in her voice, as unreal as a dream: "I know that he is the third highness of the court, and once he saw him from afar when he entered the palace with his mother, but he didn't know who I was, so he smiled and handed me the palace lamp and turned around and left." At that time, I was like a demon, and I didn't care about the shy etiquette, so I caught up with him and said, 'When His Royal Highness comes to my Murong Prime Minister's Mansion one day, Yun'er will definitely personally thank His Highness for the gift of the lamp'. โ€

The pain in my heart was unspeakable, and I closed my eyes tightly, her words, so subtle and affectionate, were nothing more than to tell her identity, I didn't care about etiquette and shyness, but I didn't want to miss him.

"Later, when my father was on his birthday, and the decree of marriage came down, you don't know how happy I was at that time, just like picking the flowers of the whole spring...... I groomed carefully, put on the most beautiful clothes, played the flute and danced at the birthday banquet, and outsiders said that Miss Murong was very talented, and filial piety touched the sky, but I didn't know that I was just here for him, and that's it. โ€

From her narration, I can vaguely guess the beginning and turn of this matter, but I still subconsciously resist, I don't want to believe it, I looked at my sister's face as white as the moon but also cold as the moon, and asked with a slight trembling: "Then why is there such a thing as running away from marriage?"

Yun'er laughed, making people feel endless sadness and pity: "Second sister, in fact, you have already guessed, but you just don't want to believe it, just like me at that time." My mother often said that I was too arrogant, and such a sharp personality would one day suffer, I didn't think so, but now, I have to believe it. โ€

She continued to smile, but her eyes were indifferent, not even hatred, and her voice was as flat as if she was telling the story of others: "On my father's birthday banquet, even if I invited the Third Highness, how could I leave out the crown prince? โ€

I remembered that at the Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing banquet not long ago, Yun'er was dressed in plain clothes and had a flute sound, cold and beautiful like a fairy in the moon, and although I couldn't see the performance she deliberately did, it was not difficult to imagine how stunning it should be.

Closing her eyes slightly, no wonder she played the song "Shocking" so well, with a hundred twists and turns, and the hard work of exhausting her heart and soul was also for him?

"I don't know what Nan Chengmian told my father and mother, I only remember my mother's tears and pleading at that time, although my Murong family is powerful, but after all, they are courtiers, these kings and grandchildren can't afford to offend. Even if the emperor gave marriage as an excuse, after all, he refuted the prince's intentions, and it is natural to imagine what the situation will be in the future. โ€

Yun'er turned her eyes to me and smiled slightly: "So, since the marriage decree does not say which Miss Murong will marry to the Third Highness, why don't you marry my sister into the palace and I enter the East Palace, the best of both worlds." โ€

I looked at her, restrained the chill that was spreading in my heart, and asked, "That's what Mother told you?" and you agreed?"

Yun'er shook her head: "The prince's will is pressed there, and my father and mother are powerless. I still remember that my mother kept crying that night, and I knew that she also felt sorry for me, but she told me that I was the daughter of the Murong family, and I was destined to sacrifice for the family. I can understand their distress and reluctance, but there is no way to not be resentful at all. โ€

Two lines of clear tears slowly slid down her jade-like cheeks, she didn't wipe them, but still spoke softly: "At first, I naturally refused to agree, no matter what my mother said, I just shook my head and didn't follow." I was so anxious that I even pushed her away and rushed out of the door, but my mother just looked at me with tears streaming down her face, but she didn't stop her after all. โ€

I watched the tears on her face like pearls with broken threads, more and more, but her expression was as cold as ever, and there was a dull pain in her heart, and her eyes were burning and painful.

"I kept running down the street, and the only thought in my heart was to find His Royal Highness. I don't know what kind of identity I can use to find him, and what will I be able to do if I find him? But at that time, he kept running, and kept running, all the way in the direction of the Three Kings' Mansion. โ€

Yun'er raised the back of her hand, wiped her tears casually, and the voice continued to come, without sadness, only indescribable indifference: "He was not in the palace, and the next person told me that he was cruising on Taiye Lake, so I didn't care about anything, and still rushed to the shore of Taiye Lake." โ€

She suddenly turned her face to look at me, her long eyelashes still tingling with tears, fluttering like butterfly wings, and her lips slowly brought a smile on her lips, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

"It was a beautiful day, with a clear sky and a picturesque view. I saw him at a glance, and on the painting boat, he was holding the waist of the beauty and smiling heartily. It's just that kind of demeanor, but it is completely different from the chaos of the boat, and it only makes people feel cold inexplicably. At that moment, I suddenly saw clearly, there was no reason, but I was inexplicably sure - this man would not belong to me for the rest of my life. โ€

I looked at her and couldn't say a word, only to hear her faint laughing voice, which continued to resound in the silence of the room.

"He didn't see me, and I didn't come forward again, and when I returned to the house, I let the arrangement of the family, and lived in the East Palace with Dark Incense. I knew in my heart that even if I really married into the Three Princes' Mansion, it was just a dispensable place in his countless gentle villages, and he would never put too much thought into me. But if I marry into the East Palace, at least, Nan Chengmian admires my beauty, at least, I can do things for him that the three princesses can't do, just like today. โ€

My heart was cold and painful, and I closed my eyes slightly, but I still didn't know how to speak.

She looked at me and smiled faintly: "Second sister, you don't have to feel that I am pitiful or owe me anything, this is my own choice, just like you said, but in this world, everyone has their own fate, and they can't ask for it." What's more, at least the prince treats me very well, and in this regard, I may be luckier than you. โ€

I secretly took a few deep breaths, forced myself to suppress all kinds of surging emotions, and looked at Yun'er, but my voice was inevitably a little hoarse: "Since you also know that the prince treats you well, why do you still do this? You haven't let go of the past, have you?"

"Yes, that's why I'm trying my best to lure you over today to let you see these pieces of paper, because now I still can't watch him have an accident. She looked at me for a long time and said lightly: "But, sister, this is the first and last time, and I won't do such a thing again in the future." This time, as my last tribute to the past, to those beautiful dreams and longings, I can also be regarded as a way to completely end my infatuation with him. From now on, Murong Yun would only have the identity of the crown princess of the East Palace. If one day, the hostility between the East Palace and the Three Princes' Mansion is inevitable, then I will only stand by my husband's side, even if I meet you with the sword, I will not hesitate to do so. โ€
