Yu Hao finished sketching the last stroke of the music in hand, and stretched out his hand to the strange man. The man was securely in his pocket, and he retreated willingly. It's just that when he passed by with Yu Yan, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "My subordinates have seen the queen's mother." ”

Yu Yan glanced at him deeply, and his originally stiff face became a little more cold. He claims to be a subordinate, and his identity is probably the same as Chengying, one of the "sunspots". This thought lingered in her mind for a moment, and she stepped forward and bowed her knees to say hello.

"That person is named Yan Cheng, and his skills are extremely sharp, so you can be regarded as having met once." Yu Hao didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, and only brushed it off in a casual tone, "He will take over from Chengying." ”

The throat was like crying out an extremely cold lump of ice, and I couldn't swallow it but couldn't spit it out. Yu Yan had already felt something, but he still barely maintained a faint smile: "Indeed, Chengying should also be the guard of Jing'an Palace wholeheartedly, he ......"

"The people who protect you will be rearranged. Chengying, he won't be coming back. ”

The smile finally lingered on his face without warning.

The faint daylight, which was covered by the flowing clouds, penetrated into the hall through the bright paper on the window, reflecting Yuyan's lonely shadow. Her thin shoulders trembled suddenly, and her body stumbled a little to the front of the case: "The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor means." ”

"Yuyan, don't blame me for being ruthless." The emperor was silent for a moment before slowly exhaling a light sigh, "He knows too much about this matter. The unsightly inside story of the royal family is to be buried underground forever, Chengying ...... It can also be regarded as loyalty to Great Wei. ”

Is it loyal to Da Wei, or loyal to your ambitions!

Yu Yan only felt that there were countless voices screaming, buzzing, and noisy in her head, and she could no longer continue to think. Yu Hao's facial features seemed to turn into another unfamiliar face in the smoke, and the panic and uneasiness of the past pressed down again, and Yu Yan suddenly felt empty and helpless in her heart.

"Will the emperor treat Yuyan like this one day?"

The man was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect her to ask such a question. It's just that the coldness on his face has turned into a chuckle in an instant, Yu Hao looked at her, his eyes were soft like spring: "My virtuous queen, I thought you would say something." You touch the phoenix crown on your head, isn't it enough for me to treat you like this? ”

How could he know that the phoenix crown was cold and heavy, and how miserable it was to press on his head. Yu Yan almost didn't dare to look directly into his deep eyes, she was afraid that her heart that had been so hard to move would be condensed into ice again. "But the emperor, after all, he has been with his concubines for many years, so there is no other way."

"I will not leave the slightest evil." He reached out and touched the woman's smooth jade-like face, and his smile was still the same, "I know that you have a good heart, and you will definitely be unbearable, so I didn't sue you." Although he said this, how could Yu Yan not know that he must be worried that he would intervene in this matter, so he would secretly deal with it. If I hadn't bumped into Yan Cheng by chance today, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark.

Yan Cheng ......

His thoughts froze slightly, as if something had suddenly become clear. The myriad doubts in his mind suddenly connected into a line, and Yu Yan seemed to grasp a vine, and immediately wanted to follow it to find the truth.

"What are you doing today?" Yu Hao saw that she didn't say a word, and his expression was a little unhappy. He was still tired with stacks of official documents and recitals, and he looked extremely busy. Yu Yan knew that it was useless to say more, so he sank his mind a little before he realized his intentions today. Unexpectedly, the man didn't care about it, and after she was in charge alone, he buried himself in the recital.

When I left the Xuanhua Palace, the sky was still gloomy and scary. Yu Yan helped the lotus golden flying crane on the high bun to shake and breathe in the air after the rain. Xiao Fuzi leaned over and put his hand on Yuyan's outstretched arm, and he was good at observing words and colors, and he caught a glimpse of the thin coldness in the woman's eyes at a glance, like the morning frost in late autumn, covering her noble temperament without a trace. Yu Yan's footsteps did not stop, and he only said slowly in a plain and usual tone: "This palace wants you to check one thing." ”

Since learning about Chengying, whenever she saw Ning Shuyuan's worried face in the morning and dusk, Yuyan always felt unbearable. Her intention to avoid Ning Shuyuan became more and more obvious, even if she met by chance, she always put on a cold and cold posture, as if she didn't want to say more to the woman. However, even so, Ning Shuyuan was originally a smart person in Bingxue, and this matter could be concealed for a while, but it may not be able to be concealed for a lifetime. Time passed in such an uneasy mood.

Suddenly, late one night, the Chongsheng Palace sent someone to report the emergency, and Dao Ning Shuyuan suddenly vomited blood and didn't know it, and she was in danger.

Yu Yan heard the words of the people under the window, almost sat up in shock, and arrived in a sedan chair without bothering to change into court clothes. As soon as you enter the palace, you can smell the bitter smell of herbs. Several imperial doctors gathered around, all with solemn expressions. And the eldest prince Yongxi knelt beside the bed, clutching the woman's thin arm hanging out.

Seeing that Yuyan had arrived, Fang Haishan, the head of the Imperial Doctor, hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid that Little Lord Ning is not good. ”

Yu Yan lifted the curtain and saw Ning Shuyuan lying on the bed weakly, her miserable white face reflecting the dim light, exuding a withered aura of dying wood. It is as if the camellia flowers are blooming in May, and the body and the broken heart are about to disappear into the depths of the earth. There is an extremely obvious pool of blood on the thin plain gauze screen, which is shocking to see. It is said that as soon as something happened in the Chongzao Palace, the next person went to inform the emperor, but at this time there was still no movement.

A sense of pity suddenly rose in Yu Yan's heart, but when she spoke, she was unexpectedly calm. "You know it all."

Although Ning Shuyuan was dying, she was awake at the moment. Two lines of tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes, and she opened her mouth as if she was struggling to support herself. Seeing this, Yu Yan only turned his head lightly and ordered, "You guys should retreat first." Yongxi, so are you. ”

The fair-faced young man hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Yuyan was so stubborn, he finally retreated quietly.

Seeing the pavilion door being slowly closed, Yu Yan only felt that something in his body was shattered. She turned her head and looked at Ning Shuyuan, who was as miserable as a remnant leaf, but the unbearable meaning in her eyes faded little by little. She raised her chin and had a clear smile on her face: "It's really pitiful to see you like this." ”

Ning Shuyuan's surprise calmed down in an instant, and was replaced by the meaning in her eyes. "I just want to know why he died."

"Because this palace asked him to investigate things he shouldn't know." Yu Yan's tone was still flat, but there was an obvious hint of indifference in his eyes. "This palace has no intention of harming him, but he has found a qiē, and he can't keep it."
