"What's wrong?" Wonhyuk asked lightly patting me on the back.

"It's just...... It's just a little scared. I still relied on him, and said with some horror that Won Hyuk was not in a hurry to push me away, and I relied on it with peace of mind.

"Concubine Yun, is it embarrassing for you?" Yuan Hyuk saw Yun Chu leave just now, and saw me now, no wonder he thought that I had something to do with Yun Chu like this. "For the sake of the second brother leading the troops out of the city today?"

I put my arm around him and nodded.

Wonhyuk sighed lightly, as if he had understood.

"Do you have any cronies?" I asked blankly, "But what exactly is a cronie?" ”

"Cronies are ...... Someone who is very close to you and can be trusted by you...... "Wonhyuk will answer me no matter what I ask him, no matter how unreasonable my questions are, he will answer them one by one." "General Hou Yuehou, isn't it your cronies?"

I raised my head, "Is Hou Yue a cronie?" ”

Yuan He actually smiled, "You are close to Hou Yue, and you trust him, if he is loyal to do things for you, isn't he your cronies." ”

"No," I thought for a moment and denied it, "Hou Yue is a younger brother, not a cronie. ”

"Brother?" Yuan Hyuk was surprised.

"I don't have a family, and I envy others for having families. You see, Master Meng thought that I had bullied Queen Meng, so he came to me to ask for his guilt; Concubine Yun thought that I intended to harm Yuan Jue, and she also came to bully me...... It's nice to have family. I muttered the last sentence.

Wonhyuk's heart trembled and he asked me, "Do you want family?" A family like General Hou? ”

I thought about it and nodded.

"Then let General Hou be your family, I'll go and tell him, let him take you as your sister and share the surname, so that you can support him to rise little by little in the future, and it is better to have a younger brother who can protect you than for them to say that you are unknown. Luckily? Wonhyuk leaned down and asked softly.

Let Hou Yue be my younger brother, I smiled, "Is that okay?" ”

"Hou Yue is a talent, a young hero, although he is young, he already has many years of combat experience. In the case of Xingde Temple, he desperately protected you, did his duty, and obeyed you. Although I didn't know him before, but since it is rare for you to get close to him, I think he must also be very good to you. If Hou Yue regards you as the eldest sister, it is also a good thing that he can support you in the court. Won Hyuk told me his thoughts frankly, and looking at him did not look like a temporary idea, but a long time of thinking.

If Hou Yue can be used by me, it will indeed be extremely beneficial for me to gain a firm foothold in the court. I don't have a family, so I have no one to support me in the court, and even if Wonhyuk wants to speak for me, he has some scruples.

……

"Ma'am, you're playing with fire." Cheng Jing walked over from the side and stood beside me, "His Majesty the monarch has built a lot of construction for you, and he actually wants to build Luoxiang Mountain in the palace, and now he has succeeded to the throne not long ago, and the two councilors have been convicted." According to common sense, it is natural that the people should not be wasted at this time, but the monarch insists on this, and it may be difficult to escape the name of the faint king. ”

"Master Cheng should have told him this, not me. He insisted on giving it to me, but I didn't want it. "I'm silent," Besides, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you for Yuan Hyuk to fall into the name of the faint king. ”

"What Madame said, the minister didn't understand very well." Cheng Jing said with a wry smile.

I turned my head sideways to look at him, and the dark red court clothes set off Cheng Jing's pride even more outstandingly. "I didn't understand before, who is Lord Cheng, you seem to be loyal to Yuan He, but you are close to Yuan Jue, I used to think you were Yuan Jue's person, but you don't think about him everywhere, that night you mentioned the old things ten years ago, but it made me realize that you have a knot in your heart that you can't let go."

Words, I have already said it is obvious that Cheng Jing is not unable to let go of the old things of ten years ago from the beginning. But from the moment he married Biluo, because of his physical defects, he was destined to be the weaker party in that marriage, and Biluo's unexpected pregnancy is probably the most important reason for Cheng Jing's resentment and distortion of all this.

"Adult," I knew he wouldn't answer my question. "There's one thing I want to ask you."

Cheng Jing just turned his head sideways and didn't say anything. His eyes made me feel dangerous, but it was clear that it was dangerous, but he seemed to be guiding me to continue asking. Knowing that it is dangerous to ask, it is like a trap to lure prey.

"Biluo's child, will you let her give birth safely?" But I took a deep breath and asked.

When Yuan Hyuk mentioned it, it reminded me of one thing. Back then, Cheng Jing, in order to cover up the ugliness of the family, he did not hesitate to partner with Mrs. Li to frame his biological parents, I can't forget how he looked when he angrily denounced Lord Cheng Si and Mrs. Wei for being selfish, he hated them so much for ruining the honor of the family and burying everything for the descendants of the family. Cheng Jing, who is only ten years old, can ruthlessly let his biological parents bear all the curses, and he will not let them insult the family for half a point. Now about Biluo, how could he be willing to let Biluo's child be born?!

The child who has never had the blood of a family, will Cheng Jing allow it?

Cheng Jing just turned his head and looked at the calm surface of the lake, which became deeper and deeper, and more and more gloomy.

"Sister!" Hou Yue ran over from the side.

Cheng Jing saw Hou Yue coming over, glanced at it, and said to me, "The minister remembered that there was still something to do, so he didn't disturb Madame's Yaxing." ”

At this time, Hou Yue was already standing in front of me, Cheng Jing pretended, and then walked away, leaving a back that made people feel inexplicably pitiful.

"Sister, what's wrong with Lord Cheng." Hou Yue saw that he was strange and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing." I said, "Maybe it's because of the impermanence of the world that people are particularly sad." ”

Hou Yue seemed to understand whether he understood or not, watching Cheng Jing leave, he didn't know what to think.

"By the way," I came back to my senses. "Why did you come here to me?"

"Oh." Hou Yue heard the sound and remembered, "Your Majesty summoned me over, and Your Majesty told me that he wanted me to recognize my sister as my own sister." ”

I nodded, I knew about this matter, but I didn't expect Yuan He to discuss it with Hou Yue so quickly. "And what do you think?"

"Of course I do." Hou Yue looked very happy, "As long as my sister doesn't dislike me." His Majesty asked me to go back and think about it, and I said I didn't have to think about it, if my sister was willing, how could I not agree. ”

"That's good, when I get back, I'm sure he'll discuss the specifics of these matters with me." I replied nonchalantly.

"But ......" Hou Yue suddenly hesitated.

"What's wrong?" I listened to him hesitate before I came back to my senses, "Do you have anything else to ask for?" ”

"It's not." Hou Yue immediately denied it, and it could be seen that he was very confused, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Sister, when I went in, I heard His Majesty asking Cui Xi ......."

"Huh?" It was normal for Yuan Hyuk to ask Cui Xi, but I didn't understand what the reason was, which made Hou Yue feel that it was really necessary for him to tell me this very ordinary thing. The more he slurred and slurred, the more confused I became.

"Your Majesty asked Cui Xi if you often don't rest in the dormitory at night when he is not in the dormitory." Hou Yue was extra careful when relaying this sentence.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and mentioned Shen'er, "How did Cui Xi answer?" ”

Hou Yue was very cautious. "I heard Tricy say that it was only at dawn that I found you coming back from outside."

Did I find out about my previous night meeting with Yuan Jue? If he wasn't already suspicious, how could he ask Trixi if I often don't rest in the dormitory at night?

He trusts me on the surface, but he already has doubts about me, doesn't he?

"Sister, don't worry, I heard Cui Xi say this, I was afraid that she would say something, so I interrupted her and broke in. When His Majesty saw me enter the study, he didn't ask any more questions, but let her out casually. Hou Yue hurriedly explained.

I listened and put my mind at ease for a while. But the thought that Won Hyuk had begun to doubt me made me feel uneasy. What's more, Cui Xi did see me come back in the morning, and if she told Yuan Hyuk about it, even if Cui Xi had no intention, it would be enough for Yuan Hyuk to think about it for a long time.

If Yuan He really guessed that I went out in the middle of the night and was with Yuan Jue, I'm afraid that even now, he won't let Yuan Jue and me go easily.

"Sister? My sister ......, "Hou Yue called me twice.

I looked back, "It's fine. ”

The night in the Yu Palace is always quiet and terrifying, and it is never known how many people are conspiring with unknown tricks in such nights. I hate the bleak night the most, the absence of the moon, the absence of starlight, which overwhelms me.

When Yuan He returned to the dormitory, he deliberately stopped at a place far from the dormitory, so that the accompanying palace people were silent, and Su Gonggong followed behind Yuan He, and slowly walked to the front of the hall with a light foot.

The palace people stood on both sides, Gonggong Su followed Yuan He to the front of the hall, habitually waited outside the hall, lowered his head and turned his back, Yuan He walked into the hall alone and entered the inner room. But he didn't see me, and immediately turned around and walked towards the study.

When Gonggong Su heard Yuanhe's movement in the hall, he raised his head and listened to it, but when he looked up, he happened to notice me resting on the railing in the corner of the terrace. Father-in-law Su immediately understood what was going on, bowed his head and turned into the hall, and after a while, Father-in-law Su came out behind Yuanhe again, Yuanhe walked towards me, and Gonggong Su stood at the door of the hall again, bowing his head and pretending to be ordinary.

In fact, I saw all this, squinting slightly, but deliberately pretending to be asleep, lying on the railing of the terrace in front of the hall, until I saw Won Hyuk walking towards me, I slowly closed my eyes.

Wonhyuk came over, and as I expected, he didn't wake me up directly. But to my surprise, he untied his coat, draped it over me, and slowly sat down next to me.

He was guarding me inexplicably.

In the distance, there was a gradual thunderstorm.

I pretended to wake up slowly, and when I saw Won Hyuk, I pretended to be surprised. "Why are you here?"

"Why don't you go back to the temple and rest?" Wonhyuk cares about me very much.

"I thought you weren't going to be here tonight." I just said.

"When I don't come, are you going to sleep here like this?" Won Hyuk was a little angry, I understood, he minded me resting here because he was worried that I would catch a cold here.

"I don't like to sleep alone in a big house." I lowered my head and said aggrievedly, "Sleeping alone in a big house feels like being abandoned." ”

Yuan Hyuk sighed slightly, he was helpless to my explanation, no matter how much he thought about it, I am afraid that he would not guess my thoughts. He could only feel guilty and distressed, and slowly took my hand, but he may feel even more pity when he felt cold.

He took my hand in the palm of his hand, sighed, and clenched it tightly, "You know, I won't abandon you. Your hands are so cold, what if you catch a cold and get sick? ”

I listened to him reprimanding me, but I smiled, "If I'm sick, won't you be able to stay with me all the time?" ”

"I really can't tell you." Yuan He had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, "Do you know that watching you get sick makes me feel worse than being sick myself, I would rather you be healthy, safe and happy." It's just that recently, there are too many things in the previous dynasty, I can't be distracted, every time I deal with various matters, I think about you, I can't wait to finish those trivial things immediately, and rush back to see you immediately. ”

I looked at him with a big smile.

"By the way, I was just about to talk to you," Yuan He looked at the sky, probably worried that the rain would come down at some point, and stroked the hem of his usual clothes, "I plan to let someone arrange it the day after tomorrow, and use an excuse to do the matter of you and Hou Yue recognizing each other." But since you recognize relatives, you always need to have a common surname, today I flipped through the dossier, and checked the relevant surnames and nobles in Shaoshan or the surrounding area, I picked a few, and I want you to choose one yourself. ”

"Let me choose another one." I still remember that the name of Mrs. Zhaohua was one of the several items he selected, "Then tell me, what are their surnames?" It's too ordinary, I don't want it. ”

Yuan Hyuk smiled indulgently and said, "There are Bai, Huo, Hua, Yuwen ......"

"Yuwen?" I interrupted him suddenly, just repeating it over and over again in my mouth, Yuwen, somehow I actually think this surname is unique.

"You like this?" Won Hyuk always easily detected my preferences.

I thought about it carefully, "It's just that this Yuwen is a family that comes from." ”

"It is the declining aristocracy under Shaoshan Mountain, a few generations ago in the Yu Kingdom, the Yuwen family also served as a civil official in the court, but it is a pity that the Yuwen family at that time was in charge, and his temperament was too upright, although he was honest and honest, but he also offended many ministers in the court at that time. So he ended up being demoted, he resigned directly and went into hiding, and then his family was defeated, and there was no successor to the Yuwen family. Wonhyuk told him everything he knew.

I thought for a long time, "Then, Yuwen." (To be continued.) )
