The hourglass on the table passed silently, and Wu Yan waved her hand weakly, "You go down first." The tone was helpless and hesitant.

Wind River tried to help her trembling mother, but she gently refused.

"Let Hongu be quiet. ”

After waiting for Feng He to leave, she summoned a palace person and ordered: "Arrange to go to the ancestral hall in the palace, don't let outsiders know." ”

The palace man nodded in understanding.

When the soft sedan chair she was riding stopped at the entrance of the ancestral hall, she was stopped by the palace guards guarding the ancestral hall.

"Don't you want to live? She was full of emotion.

Just when the palace people were in distress, the courtyard door of the ancestral hall was opened, and a man in his fifties and sixties in a gray robe stood at the door of the hall.

"Doesn't Niangniang know that the ancestral hall is not allowed to enter?" he asked coldly, and did not salute Wu Yan.

Wu Yan hurriedly put her hands together on her chest and whispered: "It's just that the emperor is seriously ill, and the palace has no plan to come to the ancestors for a while." ”

After staring at Wu Yan for a while, the man turned around and left slowly, the two palace guards at the door immediately retreated to both sides, Wu Yan stroked her chest, lifted her dress and stepped lightly into the courtyard gate of the ancestral hall.

"The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the unfilial people of the Feng clan have come to kowtow to you. Kneeling in the wide and dim ancestral hall, Wu Yan clasped her hands together, and before she could say anything, she was already in tears.

She made a long kowtow when her hands landed on the ground, "I asked the ancestors to bless the river." He is the proper heir to the throne of the Feng clan, but the emperor is greedy for Chang Ruoli's beauty, and even the son born to her maid who married was made the crown prince by the emperor because of her favor. Now that my mother and son have been forced to have no way out, I beg the ancestors and ancestors to forgive my mother and son for the sake of Wu Yan is the descendant of the Wu family. ”

With her face buried in the ground, she sobbed lowly, and spoke silently.

"I know I've done something rebellious now, but there's no way around it, I can't watch Your Majesty force He'er to death, and whatever punishment is there, it's good to punish the slave family. ”

That day, Wu Yan shed all her tears. Pray that the ancestors of the Feng Clan will forgive her for the sins she has committed.

Because on that day, she felt that death was already approaching her step by step.

At this moment. In the suite of rooms connected to the ancestral hall, two figures stood silently in the middle of the ground, and Wu Yan's faint sobs were in their ears.

"In two days, Feng Ze will be back. ”

For a long time, one of them said in a low voice.

The other silently looked at the burning candle on the table, his emaciated face carved by a knife with a faintly sickly look.

"I once gave her mother and son a way to live. A cold and low sentence came out of his mouth.

When it was just getting dark. Tick-tock, raindrops are falling. Yueming was playing chess alone in the house, and the sound of rain hitting the pane was in her ears. Suddenly, he stopped the piece that was about to fall, and sat quietly, as if waiting for something to be heard.

After a moment he dropped the piece in his hand. He got up and walked towards the door. Reaching out and gently pulling the door open, a black ball of mud rolled in silently.

He bent down to pick it up, pinched the mud pill, and a piece of paper was revealed.

"It's raining. In Yaoling's house, Wu Yu closed the window that was blown by the wind, and came to the low table in the middle of the ground, Yaoling was boiling a pot of good black tea and was bored in a daze with the fragrance of tea leaves.

"What do you want?" Wu Yu asked.

Yao Ling shook her head, "I wonder if Xiaofeng has already arrived in Yanlong?"

Wu Yu shook her head, and a smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

"It's only been so long since you've been gone, you're thinking?" Wu Yu didn't know what was happening in the palace.

Yaoling turned her head to look at her, as if she remembered something, she sat up straight and asked Wu Yu seriously: "Sister, if Feng Ze becomes the emperor of Dalong in the future and marries the queen, what if the queen harms you?"

Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, and his still happy expression dimmed a little in an instant.

After a while, she said softly: "The queen is a beautiful lady, and she has learned cultural etiquette since she was a child, so she will not do such a thing." ”

Yaoling's dark eyes looked at Wu Yu quietly, and saw that fear and nervousness flashed in her eyes, and her heart hurt slightly.

After thinking for a while, she asked again: "Can my sister not marry Feng Ze, follow me, I promise to find someone better than Feng Ze for my sister in the future, can I also give my sister safety?"

Wu Yu suddenly raised his drooping eyes and shook his head strongly, "No, don't talk nonsense, I will only marry Feng Ze in this life." ”

"Sister," Yaoling screamed helplessly.

Wu Yu sighed lightly and said faintly: "I know that you and my father are very worried about my future, and now I know that I will be involuntary when I love him deeply, knowing that he will be the emperor of Dalong in the future, and there are three thousand beauties in the harem, but I still can't stop my deep love for him." I was born humble, and I can't beat the queen's finger, but I don't ask for much, as long as Feng Ze can smile at me every day, if one day he looks at me and no longer smiles and no longer has love, I am also content, at least I now get all his love. Saying this, her expression darkened, "There really is a day when the queen will not allow me, so I would rather die in Feng Ze's arms." ”

Yao Ling stood up violently and looked at Wu Yu, with some anger in her eyes, "Sister, have you ever thought about what if one day he likes another woman and wants to kill you with his own hands?"

As if struck by thunder, Wu Yu's body shook suddenly, and she couldn't hold back, she looked at Yaoling with some begging.

"If you give birth to a child at that time, if he even destroys your child with you, will you still be willing, sister?" there was a cry in Yaoling's voice.

Wu Yu sat on the ground weakly, shook his head blankly, and muttered to himself: "No, no, he is so gentle and will not do such cruel things." ”

Yaoling didn't say anything more, looked at Wu Yu, who was hiding her face and sobbing softly, and sighed.

"Sister, don't cry, I won't leave you in the future, if anyone wants to hurt you, I will let him live as well as die, including Feng Ze. ”

"No, you must not harm Fengze. Wu Yu, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly got up and grabbed Yaoling's arm, shaking fiercely, "I will never allow you to hurt Feng Ze, even if he hurts me and my child, I will not allow you to hurt him." Yaoling looked at Wu Ling, who was quiet and gentle in the past, in surprise, and at this moment she was like two people.

"You promise my sister. Wu Yu pulled Yaoling with a firm and sad expression.

Yaoling wanted to say something again, but suddenly a gentle voice came from outside the door: "Yaoling, don't scare Wu Ling." Yaoling and Wu Yu in the room were stunned for a moment at the same time, and Wu Ling hurriedly let go of the hand holding Yaoling and wiped the tears on his face.

Yao Ling walked to the door and pulled the door open, and the fine mist carried the wind down the open door and hit her with a wet breath.

Outside the door, under an oil-paper umbrella painted with red plums, Yueming, dressed in white, stood there quietly with a beautiful palace lamp in her hand, surrounded by moonlight-like tranquility and coldness. A pair of eyes like black paint looked at Yaoling silently, with incomparably gentleness.

Yao Ling was stunned.

"Come with me. Without waiting for her to ask, Yueming said something in a low voice, handed her the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and then turned around and walked into the dark rain.

Yaoling closed the door of the house, lifted the corner of her skirt and hurriedly followed, and the umbrella was opened to protect her and protect him.

He glanced at her sideways, but she didn't dare to take his gaze, just stared at the exquisite palace lamp in front of her.

"But what happened in the palace?" After walking for a while, Yaoling finally asked, she wouldn't have called her for a walk out of thin air on such a rainy night.

Yueming looked at her and said slowly: "When you are young, the queen sent Lan Yan to Fengming Palace and imprisoned her under the pretext that she was disrespectful. ”

Yao Ling stopped, and the bell on her waist trembled slightly.

"Looks like they're doing it. Yueming still said unhurriedly.

"I'm going to save Lan Yan. ”

That's all Yao Ling said.

"Feng Ze is coming back, presumably the queen has already gotten this swift breath, I'm afraid that the Yi guards will also be in danger. Xia Linhai is a palace person, and he is very docile, Wu Yan still needs his power in the palace, so he will not hurt him for the time being. The emperor of Fengming Palace is afraid that he is also more auspicious. Yueming still said unhurriedly and shallowly, her expression was like a peaceful lake without any waves.
