Shen Huan looked at Yun Xi in disbelief, but saw her smile.

"General Shen, am I so good-looking?" She walked over, walked up to Shen Huan, and whispered.

Shen Huan nodded, but then shook his head again.

"Huh? General Shen, you nodded and shook your head again, do you think I'm good-looking or ugly? ”

Shen Huan took a deep breath and said, "See Concubine Yun, the minister doesn't dare to speak falsely. ”

"I'll give you that power."

Shen Huan still lowered his head, not daring to look at her directly.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't force you." I want you to do something for me. ”

"Please instruct Concubine Yun."

"I'm going to see the emperor." Yun Xi said slowly.

Shen Huan was shocked, he raised his head to look at Yun Xi, with doubts written in his eyes: "Concubine Yun? ”

Yun Xi laughed lightly and said, "General Shen, I must go to see the emperor, if you don't help me, I'll figure it out myself." ”

Shen Huan said anxiously: "Concubine Yun, you ...... Why did you go to see the emperor? The emperor said that...... said ......" after the words, Shen Huan had no way to continue, because the emperor's words were too hurtful at that time.

Yun Xi didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and said firmly: "I must see the emperor." Seeing that Shen Huan still looked disapproving, Yun Xi changed his tone and said softly: "Brother Shen, you can help me, do you really want to see you stay in this cold palace for the rest of your life?" ”

Yun Xi's voice of Brother Shen made Shen Huan's whole body shake, his fists clenched and released, and he vigorously suppressed the surging feelings, and said, "Isn't it good to be here?" Although it is very deserted, it is far from the rights and wrongs of the palace, and here, no one can hurt you anymore, and no one will intrigue against you. Concubine Yun, forgive the ministers for their courage, the ministers think that you are the safest in the cold palace. ”

Yun Xi raised her head and looked up at the sky, she looked at the snow-white clouds in the blue sky, and said softly: "Brother Shen, I am not going to see the emperor for the glory and wealth in the palace. When I see the emperor, I have something to ask him, and if I don't ask this matter clearly, I won't be at ease in the days to come. ”

Shen Huan already had the answer in her heart, Yun Xi really recognized Feng Jingruo's identity, and she wanted to question the truth about the emperor.

But he still pretended not to know, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Yun Xi shook his head, his expression couldn't hide the sadness, and said, "Brother Shen, it's good that you still don't know about this matter." ”

Shen Huan couldn't let Yun Xi question the emperor about this matter no matter what.

When the emperor was determined to send Feng Jingruo out of the palace, he never thought about asking him to come back. If Feng Jingruo really wants to go back to the palace, there is only one way.

That is, death.

He said eagerly: "No matter what you want to ask the emperor, you must remember what your brother entrusted you back then." Concubine Yun, have you forgotten the sacrifice your brother made to keep you?! It's very lonely in the cold palace, but it's really safe. Your brother, your father, and me, we all hope you are safe. ”

Seeing Shen Huan's anxious look, Yun Xi smiled and said, "What are you panicking about, I'm not stupid, I know what the emperor is taboo about." As long as you can help me meet the emperor, I have my own way to save my life. ”

Seeing that Shen Huan was still going to persuade her, Yun Xi raised his hand to stop him and said, "It is much safer for you to help me meet the emperor than for me to go to the emperor myself." Otherwise, I may have met with an accident before I met the emperor. ”

Shen Huan looked at her, saw her determined look, and knew that Yun Xi had made up his mind to walk out of this cold palace to meet the emperor this time.

"Okay, I'll help you. But you must promise me not to run into the emperor. As long as you don't collide with the emperor, the emperor will not embarrass you on your old feelings and the contribution of the Yun family to the Feng Kingdom. Shen Huan admonished.

Yun Xi nodded, and then said: "I came here yesterday with a child, he was injured, you take him out to help him find a medical center to heal the injuries on his body." ”

Shen Huan followed her into the room, and when she saw Feng Jingruo leaning on the bed, she sighed silently.

It's really a trick.

Obviously, eight years have passed, but the mother and son still meet.

Shen Huan had long known that once Yun Xi met Feng Jingruo, she would be able to recognize it as her child.

Because Feng Jingruo has a birthmark on her ankle.

It was a cloud birthmark unique to the Yun family.

"Ruokong, this is General Shen." Yun Xi took Shen Huan to Feng Jingruo and said softly.

"See General Shen." Feng Jingruo folded his hands and saluted.

Seeing Feng Jingruo saluting him respectfully, Shen Huan shook his head amusefully in his heart, if Feng Jingruo knew that he was the master, I don't know what kind of reaction he would have.

"If it is empty, General Shen will take you out, don't be afraid, by his side, no one can hurt you anymore." Yun Xi looked at Feng Jingruo gently and said.

Feng Jingruo nodded and said, "Thank you, Concubine Yun." ”

Yun Xi raised his hand and gently stroked his head, and said, "Can I call you Ruo'er like your master?" ”

Feng Jingruo was stunned, he looked at Yun Xi and saw that her eyes were full of tenderness.

"Hmm." He nodded vigorously.

Yun Xi's eyes swelled with an indescribable meaning, with full of tenderness and doting, and shouted: "Ruo'er." ”

Her voice was very soft, very soft, and with the feelings she was trying to suppress, Feng Jingruo's heart inexplicably swelled with sourness. He looked at Yun Xi in a daze, he thought, if he had a mother, he would probably call him Ruo'er so gently like Yun Xi.

Feng Jingze couldn't find Feng Jingruo, Xia Cao and the others all said that Feng Jingruo was taken by the prince and never came back, but the prince swore that he would put Feng Jingruo back.

Feng Jingze searched almost the entire palace all day, but he didn't find Feng Jingruo.

Moreover, no one has ever seen Feng Jingruo.

It was as if he had vanished into thin air.

Feng Jingze thought of when he was in Tianhe Temple, Feng Jingruo also disappeared suddenly like this, and afterwards, he learned that Feng Jingruo was imprisoned in the Discipline Hall.

Now, in this huge palace, Feng Jingruo has also disappeared.

This time, where will he be locked up by the prince?

"Ze'er, what are you looking for?" Gu Mingliu came to Feng Jingze's dormitory and walked over to say.

Feng Jingze didn't answer, he kept thinking, where else was he missing?

"I'm looking for that little monk." Gu Mingliu sat down and said.

Feng Jingze came back to his senses: "Mother, have you seen him?" ”

Gu Mingliu: "No." ”

The little hope that Feng Jingze had raised just now was extinguished in an instant.

"The person the prince has taken away, unless he tells you where you are hiding, do you think you can find it?" Gu Mingliu sneered, "Ze'er, even if you look through the palace, I bet you won't find him." ”

Feng Jingze frowned, in fact, he also knew this truth. Unless Feng Jingmu said it, he really couldn't find it.

"Of course, if your power is greater than that of the crown prince, in this palace, it is not he who has the final say." Gu Mingliu said slowly.

Feng Jingze's brows furrowed even tighter, and said, "Mother, in the palace, the father is the real son of heaven. ”

Gu Mingliu said with a smile: "I mean, if you are more important than the crown prince in the hearts of your father, and in the hearts of the ministers in the court, you have more prestige and power than the crown prince, then, even the crown prince, you have to take care of your power." At that time, it was not easy for you to find someone. ”

Seeing that Feng Jingze was silent, Gu Mingliu continued: "Ze'er, in the past, you always felt that as long as you were your second prince in peace and quiet, and you didn't provoke the prince, he wouldn't come to find you unhappy. But today's incident is that the prince reminds you on the side that you are just a prince after all, and he is the prince. In front of the crown prince, all the princes can only be one prince. ”

Feng Jingze clenched his fists tightly, Gu Mingliu did say what was on his mind.

He used to think that as long as he abided by his duty and became an idle prince, he would not provoke the rights and wrongs of the palace.

He doesn't have much ambition, and his philosophy has always been to keep a low profile.

However, Feng Jingruo's incident directly reminded him that in this palace, no one can stay out of it. Unless you have enough power, a strong enough force, and a strong enough prestige, you can gain a foothold in this palace and really protect the people you want to protect.

Otherwise, protecting the people you want to protect is just an empty word.

For the first time, Feng Jingze deeply felt that he couldn't just be an idle prince.

On the first day he brought Feng Jingruo to the palace, he lost him, not to mention that he had promised him that he would protect him.

He didn't think that he would break his promise, but what he didn't expect was that there were some things he couldn't control.

He wasn't strong enough, strong enough to protect the one he wanted to protect.
