"Daddy, second aunt ......" Yun Kexin seemed to have done something "sorry", and her voice was very low.

"Seventh girl, come here," Yue Shi waved at Yun Kexin, "Come to the second aunt's side." ”

"Seventh girl, Daddy heard some rumors in the palace, so he rushed back to the mansion to find you," Yun Tianyang said, "But the three maids said that you were staying in the Grange, and that no one was allowed to disturb them, what is the matter?" ”

"No, no, it's just upset," Yun Kexin didn't dare to face Yun Tianyang and her mother's concerned eyes, lowered her head and said, "Xin'er made my father and second aunt worried, I'm sorry." ”

Yun Ke looked a little surprised, and opened his mouth in surprise, but he still didn't speak after all.

"It's okay, just go home, let's figure it out together." Seeing that Yun Kexin was nervous, Yueshi reassured, "Xin'er, in fact, things are not as annoying as you think, but there will be some trouble." ”

Yun Kexin almost shed tears: her mother trusted her so much, and didn't ask her where she went yesterday?

"Seventh girl, the second aunt means that you can present the brocade box to the emperor about the death," Yun Tianyang added for Yue Ziyun, "The trouble is, I don't know if the emperor will ignore a qiē for the crown prince, and the emperor's order is greater than the sky, we can only—"

Yun Kexin's heart twitched suddenly, and she almost stood unsteadily, hiding her inner uneasiness, and said with a quiet smile:

"Father, second aunt, don't worry about me, if it really comes to this point, Xin'er will admit it."

"What about the prince?" Yueshi saw Yun Kexin's lonely expression and asked tentatively.

Prince? A glimmer of light flashed in Yun Kexin's misty eyes, and then she looked down:

"I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life." She said briefly that she had confided in him about her past and present lives on the ship that day, and she had no regrets.

"Seventh girl, you have to remember that everything is not until the last moment, and you must not give up lightly, understand?" Yueshi already knew it in his heart and said softly.

Yun Kexin nodded in response.

"Second sister-in-law, do you say that I want to enter the palace immediately to face the saint," Yun Tianyang pondered for a moment and said, "Tell the emperor about the second brother's death, otherwise I am worried that if I delay any longer, the holy decree will come down." ”

"But third brother, have you thought about it, if you tell Emperor Ming about the brocade box," Yue Shi said and glanced at Yun Kexin, and said worriedly, "I'm afraid that the matter about the seventh girl will also be said together, you, don't you regret it?" ”

Yun Tianyang was stunned, and in a trance understood what Yue's was referring to, and immediately said without hesitation: "No regrets!" Wei Dun, he looked at the Yue clan again and said firmly, "Second sister-in-law, this matter belongs to the internal affairs of the Guogong Mansion, and it is not involved in the government, and the Holy Lord will not care about this matter......"

"I'm talking about how the third brother is going to face the clan elder?" Yueshi looked at Yun Tianyang and slowly spoke.

"Second sister-in-law, rest assured, that incident did not conform to the law back then, Tianyang has no regrets, this is the opportunity to make amends, I will be measured."

Yun Tianyang's face was calm, and her words were tactful and cautious, but Yun Kexin still heard that the tacit conversation between her mother and her adoptive father was referring to the matter of "adoption", and her respect for her adoptive father deepened in her heart.

"Daddy, second aunt, Xin'er forgot to tell you something," Yun Kexin hurriedly said before her adoptive father was about to leave, "I have asked the fourth uncle to let him go to see Concubine Xiang, I hope that Concubine Xiang will make the emperor change his mind, should you face the saint later?" ”

"What? The seventh girl actually said that the fourth uncle? Yue's incredible smile looked at Yun Kexin.

"This is great," Yun Tianyang chuckled, "If the fourth brother really convinces Concubine Xiang to let her 'blow the wind' on the emperor's pillow, and with my wisdom behind, things will be much easier...... Second sister-in-law, Tianyang said goodbye, and after I thought about what to say, I played the Ming Sheng. ”

"Third brother walk slowly." Yueshi smiled and watched.

After Yun Tianyang left, Yue Ziyun took Yun Kexin's hand, looked at it for a while, and said with a gentle smile:

"Our seven girls are really getting longer and more peugeot, and they are liked."

Yun Kexin smiled unabashedly: "That's because I look like my mother." ”

Yue's eyes suddenly turned red, and she held Yun Kexin's hands tighter, and murmured, "Good girl......"

Then he wiped the corners of his eyes, sniffed and said, "Xin'er, although the second aunt can't tell you about the situation in the brocade box, she can reveal it a little - who is the heart of the seventh girl, just go and tell the other party that you belong to rabbits, and the five elements belong to wood, understand?" ”

Yun Kexin was stunned, looking at Yue's puzzled: "What does the second aunt mean that if I have the heart of the prince, I will go and sue him for this?" ”

"Yes!" There is no lack of love in Yue's strict sù, "And he must keep it in mind, otherwise you will probably never have the opportunity to stay together." ”

"Yes, Xin'er understands!" Yun Kexin responded seriously.

Yue's was originally worried that Yun Kexin would ask this and that out of curiosity, but she didn't expect her to be so well-behaved and sensible, and she was very relieved, she stroked Yun Kexin's head and said, "Xin'er is so well-behaved......"

Yun Kexin smiled and said goodbye to her mother, Yun Ke, who had not spoken, sent her out of Nanyuan, and when she was halfway there, she suddenly stopped and saw that there were no servants busy in the surroundings, so she pulled Yun Kexin aside and said coldly: "Seventh sister, you really shouldn't come back, you should go away with the prince and fly away." ”

Yun Kexin's round eyes widened in surprise, looking at Yun Ke dumbfounded, she blushed and said, "Brother, I'm ...... How do you know? ”

Yun Ke called Yun Kexin to a more secluded corner, and said: "Silly sister, no matter how small my brother's position is, he is also the deputy commander, and he walks around the palace all day long, and he has heard about the queen mother wanting to make you the crown princess, and he is trying to find you to discuss countermeasures, but it didn't take long for the military department to receive the resignation of the marquis of Qingyuan, and he also handed over the command to me, and then the seventh sister disappeared, as for the statement of the three maids, I thought it was true at first, but then I visited the grange at night, and there was no shadow of you at all. When I saw you return to the Guogong Mansion, I was anxious, but I could only pretend to say "looking for you everywhere", so as not to 'have ears on the wall'. ”

Yun Kexin hung her head uneasily: she didn't expect that the "truth" she wanted to cover up would be easily seen through by her brother.

"I'm sorry, cousin Yun Ke, Xin'er is reckless, and I ask my brother to keep it a secret for me, don't tell my father and second aunt." Yun Kexin rubbed her clothes uneasily.

"Silly sister, what do you say?" Yun Ke said gently, "If I want to 'whistleblow', will I wait until now?" In fact, when my brother saw that there was a gap between the prince and you," he said without a shy remark, "I thought that one day, my brother would support you, and I would bear the responsibility for the unfilial piety that my father's will not be able to carry out." ”

Less than two hours after returning to the Guogong Mansion, this is the third time Yun Kexin has been moved to tears, she has never felt her family affection so deeply as she did today, and felt the meaning of rebirth. Suddenly, I thought of the matter of Fu Yueheng mentioned by Feng Yinxiao before, and my heart sank, and I asked tactfully:

"Brother, I also heard him say that the prince you just mentioned entrusting the position to you, how is it, is it going well?"

"Fortunately, the resignation letter was intercepted by me in time," Yun Ke said, "Fu Shilang hasn't seen it yet, because I want to wait for the news to be conclusive before making a decision, and now that the prince has returned, I will give him the resignation letter privately." ”

Yun Kexin admired her brother's uprightness, but it was precisely this kind of character that she probably didn't know the darkness and sinister nature of the court, she frowned and said:

"Brother, when you are in the court, be careful in everything, and remember not to be used and harmed by narrow-minded people."

"Thank you, Seventh Sister, my brother will be careful," Yun Ke said calmly, "I'll send you back to the third room......"

Yun Tiancheng made an appointment to meet Concubine Xiang, in an elegant room in the "Lingmingxuan" teahouse outside the palace.

"Datai and the famous rich guys, just eat this?" After changing out of the palace clothes, Concubine Xiang in regular clothes was still so beautiful, beautiful and enchanting, her apricot eyes glanced at the plates on the table, and looked at Yun Tiancheng's unceremonious ridicule, "Are you diligent and thrifty, or are you calculating how many silver taels you are considering for a meal?" ”

Yun Tiancheng smiled dumbly, but he didn't dare to look directly at Concubine Xiang, his eyes were fixed on the "four dishes and one soup" on the table: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's that Concubine Xiang forgot to say that she had expressed her yearning for a life of 'coarse tea and light rice'." ”

Concubine Xiang's eyelashes trembled, she bit her lip, and said, "Yun Tiancheng, you don't pretend to 'catch up' with me here, if you have anything to say, I don't have time to accompany you." The cold tone couldn't hide the trembling in his voice.

"You're as smart as ever," Yun Tiancheng said with a slow smile while putting vegetables on Concubine Xiang's plate, "I can't hide my thoughts from you, like a 'little goblin'." ”

Now Concubine Xiang not only trembled in her voice, but her heart also trembled as if she had been touched:

"You don't sue me for your good niece, Miss Seven?"

"Concubine Xiang—"

"Call me 'Xiang'er'!" Concubine Xiang couldn't help but raise her voice, screamed softly, and her eyes went straight to Yuntian City, her apricot eyes turned red.

"Xiang ...... Xiang'er! The long-lost nickname burst out, causing Yun Tiancheng to be entangled in a contradictory emotion that was both awkward and sweet for a while, "You, do you still hate me?" ”

"Hate!" Concubine Xiang almost replied without thinking about it, but her tone was very flat, and she couldn't hear the anger, and there was a lot of melancholy, "I hate your gentleness and decisiveness at the beginning, when your third uncle's old thing gave me to the emperor as a 'tribute', you didn't say a word, Yuntiancheng, you ruined my life, and I hated you for a lifetime." ”

"I know that Xiang'er hates me," Yun Tiancheng kept sending wine to his mouth as if he wanted to borrow wine to strengthen his courage, he raised his eyes and didn't avoid her, "So I don't blame you for what you did to me later, including the third uncle's birthday, I know that the dead eagle was put in by the secret guard you sent to it, and you want to be angry with him." ”

Concubine Xiang's sharp eyes swept away, and she sneered: "That's right!" You made me stay alone in the deep palace, why should I let you marry other women, and your children and grandchildren are around your knees? Think beautifully! That's why I sent the secret guard to keep an eye on your every move, you can make money at will, spend all your time drinking, but you can't have anything to do with any woman, and you can't do it at a glance, otherwise that woman will become the ghost of the secret guard! ”

Yun Tiancheng closed his eyes palpitatingly, took a deep breath and said: "Yes, many years ago, in order to force myself to forget you, and because of my mother's repeated requests, I agreed to a famous lady's proposal, but not long after, the girl's family came to withdraw from the marriage with a frightened look; Another time, one of my regulars was a woman, and because she accosted me, she didn't show up again......"

"Your memory is not bad," Seeing that Yun Tiancheng was immersed in pain, Concubine Xiang's heart was indescribably relieved of hatred, but she couldn't bear it, but she still said on her lips, "As for Yun Jinxiu, this old thing, when he beat the mandarin duck and stepped on my shoulders to climb up, shouldn't he die?" Cutting him a hundred times can't get rid of my hatred! ”R1152
