"Back to Your Majesty, this fire came from in Yilan Garden, and Wechen found several fathers-in-law on duty in Yilan Garden, and they all said that they didn't know what caused this fire, but Wechen found this at the scene."

Xiao Yanqing presented the thing in his hand, which was a small half of an ink-colored jade.

Gao Yide presented the jade jue to Emperor Jingfeng, Emperor Jingfeng took it and looked at it carefully, but he was not very impressed, he twisted his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yanqing, "Xiao Qing has seen this jade?" ”

"This, Wechen has never seen before," Xiao Yanqing shook his head, and continued, "Wechen also found out another thing, a few days ago, a palace maid named Xinlu who was originally serving in Yilan Garden disappeared. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Jingfeng squinted his eyes, happy and angry, "Is there a palace maid missing?" When did the guards of this palace become so loose that a palace maid can come and go casually?! ”

Emperor Jingfeng's voice was obviously suppressing anger, and everyone hung their heads in fear.

"Gao Yide, give me Commander Zhou back, I have to ask carefully, this is how he maintains the security of this palace?!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will go."

Gao Yide hurriedly went to find Zhou Yuan, the commander of the forbidden army.

The atmosphere of the main hall froze for a while, and no one dared to displease Emperor Jingfeng at this time.

Emperor Jingfeng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, he looked at Xiao Yanqing, "Xiao Qing has made a great contribution this time, saving the moxibustion and dance princess, I will be rewarded!" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen is ashamed of it."

"Aiqing is humble, and he really deserves to be the son of Dingguo Gong, and the tiger father has no dog."

Emperor Jingfeng finally showed a smile-

Inky carriages drove lowly down the silent streets.

"Lord Wang, the palace has been arranged, as long as there are no accidents, no one will find out that the prince has left Beijing."

"That's fine."

A faint male voice came from the carriage. made the already cold spring night a little more gloomy.

At this moment, Wei Changxuan suddenly saw a carriage parked not far away, just in the middle of the road, Wei Changxuan's eyebrows furrowed, and he became alert, "Lord Wang? ”

The carriage did not avoid it, but seemed to be coming at them.

"Stop." Ye Wuzhi made a sound. Wei Changxuan immediately tightened the reins.

"Phew—"

The carriage stopped. Opposite the carriage in the middle of the road.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Wei Changxuan asked in a calm voice, clenching the long sword at his waist.

"Heh-it is more profound, King Jin should be careful all the way."

A clear and wanton voice suddenly sounded in the empty street.

Wei Changxuan's pupils shrank. Finally know who is coming?

Ning Wang Gu Qi!

"His Royal Highness King Ning, it's so late, why are you here?" Wei Changxuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked suspiciously.

"Naturally, this king is here to bid farewell to his uncle. Why doesn't my uncle say a word? Gu Qi still didn't show up, only the voice came from the carriage.

"Your Highness is really interested." Ye Wuzhi finally spoke.

Even if he didn't show his face, Gu Qi could easily think of the expression on that face.

Cold and indifferent, expressionless, two words. Boring!

He touched his chin, and suddenly wondered if he was stupid enough to brave the cold to block King Jin's car, and he shook his head. Sigh, "That's it." It seems that my uncle is not very welcoming to this king. ”

"Move the carriage out of the way and make way for King Jin."

The carriage that was blocking in front of Wei Changxuan finally drove aside.

"Lord Wang?" Wei Changxuan asked Ye Wuzhi.

"Let's go."

This time, Gu Qi didn't speak, Wei Changxuan drove away from the street, and only Gu Qi's carriage was left in place.

For a moment, a few faint smiles came from the carriage, echoing in the dark and silent street, making people's hearts tremble.

"Lord Wang, how did His Royal Highness King Ning know that we were leaving Shengjing tonight?" Wei Changxuan was puzzled, he had said before that it was foolproof, who knew that the next moment the slap in the face would come.

And the prince seems to have known about it for a long time.

"Lord Wang?"

No one answered in the carriage, and Wei Changxuan screamed again in frustration.

"Shut up and hurry." Ye Wuzhi finally spoke, but his voice was very cold, obviously because of Wei Changxuan's disturbance.

Wei Changxuan was frightened, and immediately became honest and concentrated on catching up with the carriage.

It was getting cold, and the carriage was disappearing into the distance—

"Ah Niang, where are we going," Tang Yue frowned in confusion, turned her head and looked around, only to see a desolate forest.

The road under your feet is also very difficult to walk.

Tang Yue yawned lightly, and she was woken up by Guan Shi very early in the morning.

"Mother will take you to see someone," Guan Shi took Tang Yue's little hand, his expression was very gentle.

Tang Yue asked curiously, "Who is A-Niang going to take me to, have I seen it before?" ”

Guan Shi smiled, looked at Tang Yue and said softly, "She is a person who is very close to Yue'er, Yue'er will definitely like her." ”

Very close and dear people? Tang Yue thought about it seriously, very close, very close, could it be closer than A-Niang and Daddy, she looked at Guan Shi suspiciously, "A-Niang, very close person, why hasn't Yue'er seen it before?" ”

The road was very narrow, it was just a small path formed by more people, Tang Yue carefully avoided the mud on the ground, and carefully walked forward.

The hem of Guan's skirt was already stained with mud.

"Auntie?"

Tang Yue looked up at Guan.

"Oh, what did Yue'er say?" Guan smiled apologetically, "Ah Niang didn't hear it clearly just now. ”

"I said, why hasn't Yue'er seen that person before, and why hasn't he come to look for us?"

As soon as Tang Yue's voice fell, Guan suddenly stopped.

Tang Yue raised her head in confusion and asked, "A-Niang?" ”

Guan slowly lowered her body, on par with Tang Yue, she looked at Tang Yue gently, as if she had thought of something, "Yue'er must remember that the reason why that person didn't come to see Yue'er was only because she loved Yue'er too much, and she didn't want Yue'er to be hurt in the slightest, so she couldn't come to see Yue'er, will Yue'er forgive her?" ”

Tang Yue nodded ignorantly. "If she loves Yue'er too much, then Yue'er won't blame her, but why can't she come to see Yue'er, why is Yue'er injured because of her?"

Guan's eyes were wet, and the hem of her skirt fell on the muddy road, but she didn't notice it.

She stared at Tang Yue's eyes tightly, as if she saw the girl who had left with a smile.

She told her. If her death can be exchanged for a safe and smooth life for Yue'er. Then what is there to regret.

Sister, I will hand over Yue'er to you, and you can help me send him to His Highness. I'm too late

The girl's smile was poignant and moving, and the moment she let go of her hand, the baby girl in her arms cried loudly.

After a few years, she still remembers that scene vividly.

Guan touched Tang Yue's ignorant eyes. Said softly, "Does Yue'er know where she got her name?" ”

Tang Yue shook her head. "Ah Niang didn't tell Yue'er, could it be that Ah Niang said that the person who was very close to him took it?"

Guan smiled, "Yue'er is so smart, it was taken for Yue'er by that person who is very close to her." She said that she hoped that Yue'er would become like the moon in the sky, so that no matter where she was, she would see it. ”

"Auntie." Tang Yue suddenly raised her head and stared at Guan Clan seriously. "Take Yue'er to meet that very close person, Yue'er suddenly wants to see her and say thank you to her."

"That's how Yue Yue is really sensible," Guan stood up, took Tang Yue's little hand, sighed, and said, "It's not far away, let's go quickly." ”

"Hmm!"

After walking for a while, Guan suddenly stopped.

"Auntie, why did you stop, let's hurry up." Tang Yue looked at the Guan clan who stopped in place in confusion.

Guan suddenly let go of Tang Yue's hand, his eyes were gloomy, "Yue'er, it's here." ”

"Auntie?" Tang Yue was a little at a loss, she followed Guan's gaze and suddenly paused.

Not far away is a tomb, old and simple, which has obviously lasted for a long time.

Tang Yue slowly turned her head to look at Guan with a hint of apprehension in her eyes.

"Yue'er, she is the person that A-Niang told you very closely," Guan walked over and gently stroked the empty tombstone.

"Yue'er, come here."

Tang Yue followed and walked over and clenched Guan's hand, "Ah Niang." ”

She blinked, revealing a hint of trepidation and unease.

Guan Shi shook her back, turned his head to look at the tomb with a gaze as gentle as water, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, she is the person who loves you the most in this world, no matter what, she will not hurt you"

Tang Yue looked at the empty tombstone, and a very strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart, sullen, as if she couldn't breathe.

"Auntie, is she no longer there?" Tang Yue bit her lip, and suddenly felt the urge to cry.

Guan lowered his head, looked at Tang Yue's eyes that were extremely similar to those of a person in a tomb, and said softly, "No, Yue'er, even if she is no longer in this world, she will still be by your side to protect you."

Tang Yue suddenly blinked, a tear fell, she touched her eyes in surprise, only to realize that she was crying.

This impulse came inexplicably, and I couldn't suppress it even with all the strength of my body.

She no longer felt afraid, but touched the stele like Guan did, and a trace of kindness rose in her heart.

Very close person, who is she? Tang Yue suddenly seriously recalled Guan's words, she really wanted to know who was in the tomb? Why is there no inscription on the stele?

"Yue'er, is it okay to kowtow to her?" Guan's pleading gaze fell on Tang Yue.

If my sister is still here, I will be happy to see Yue'er grow so big and sensible

Tang Yue knelt on the ground obediently, staring at the tomb with clear eyes, "A-Niang said that you are a very close person to me, but I'm sorry Yue'er doesn't remember, but Yue'er feels very kind when she sees you, so A-Niang is definitely right, you must be a very close person to Yue'er, A-Niang said that you will be by Yue'er's side, and you will definitely hear what Yue'er said, right?" ”

"Thank you for giving Yue'er such a nice name"

The girl's voice was immature, but it exuded a very serious meaning.

Guan couldn't help but cover his mouth, tears dripping down his hands along the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't cry.

She looked at the tomb in front of her, her eyes blurred with tears.

Xin'er, you see that Yue'er has grown so big, she has come to see you, you can rest assured, she has lived a good life over the years, safe and smooth, exactly what you expected at the beginning, you can rest assured

Sister, I want to name my child Yue'er, Ye Qingyue, do you want her to be like the moon in the sky, although sometimes it is absent and sometimes round, but it will always shine in the sky like this, so that no matter where I am, I can see my moon

"Yue'er, get up," Guan gently pulled Tang Yue up and patted the stains on her skirt for her.

Tang Yue's gaze still fell on the tombstone.

"A-Niang," she said suddenly.

Guan looked at her suspiciously.

Tang Yue spoke seriously, "A-Niang, can I talk to her alone?" ”

Guan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and left the tomb for some distance.

Tang Yue stood quietly in place, her small body facing away from Guan.

She looked at the tombstone in front of her with a complicated gaze.

She called softly, "Mother"

mother

The person in the tomb is the biological mother of this body, even if Guan didn't say it, she could guess it. The person who loves her in the world, the closest and dearest person, who else is there besides her mother?

She knew that Ah Niang's body was injured after giving birth to Ah Ge, and she actually had a premonition in her heart at that time, but she didn't expect that her biological mother was no longer in this world.

A-Niang didn't say anything, so she pretended not to know

On the way back.

"Mother, can I come to see her again in the future?" Tang Yue looked up at the Guan family.

Guan smiled slightly, obviously happy.

"A-Niang naturally hopes that Yue'er will come to see more, if Yue'er is here, she will definitely not feel lonely."

Tang Yue narrowed her eyes and asked Guan curiously, "Then what should I call her?" ”

"Salutation" Guan Shi was suddenly stunned, and replied for a long time, "Yue'er will call her Aunt Xin." ”

"Aunt Xin," Tang Yue nodded, revealing a hint of a smile, "Yue'er remembers." ”

Different from the mood when she came, Tang Yue's mood suddenly became a little heavy, Guan Shi noticed her absent-mindedness and asked, "Isn't Yue'er happy?"

"No," Tang Yue shook her head, her eyebrows still furrowed.

Guan sighed, "Is Yue'er still thinking about Aunt Xin?" ”

"Nope." Tang Yue still shook her head.

Guan couldn't, and said softly, "Don't be upset, A-Niang has good news for you, haven't you always wanted to see your eldest brother, in a few days, the eldest brother will come to our house to accompany Yue'er for the New Year." ”

"Really!"

Tang Yue looked up in surprise, "Ah Niang, will the eldest brother really come, you didn't lie to Yue'er, right?" ”

"How could A-Niang lie to you?" Seeing that Tang Yue was happy, Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Tang Yue heard the news, the depression in her heart was swept away, she raised a smile again, and tightened Guan's hand, "Auntie, let's go quickly, go back and make something to eat, and wait for the big brother to come!" ”

"Hey, wait, he'll be in a few days, go slowly" (to be continued)
