"Now there are rumors everywhere in the palace, and your uncle and cousin are all arrested by the yamen, if I go to let them go without permission, I will definitely be infamous for interfering in the government, and when the time comes, it will be spread to my father, I guess I will not be able to eat and go around. But now it's different, you're a colt, and this matter has become our family affair, and I let them go, which makes sense......"

Looking at the sunshine in the main hall, Princess Lingwan explained a little helplessly.

But Ye Xiaoyu clearly saw in her eyes the happiness when the plan succeeded.

"You're less kind, I don't want you to save you!!"

Ye Xiaoyu rushed to Princess Lingwan and shouted at her with her finger.

Unfortunately, it still didn't work.

Princess Lingwan couldn't see her at all.

Here, no one could see her, she was like an invisible one, no matter how hard she tried to scream, it was still useless.

Finally realizing this, she collapsed, leaning against the pillar, full of despair. It's just a recreation of the day, she's just a spectator, not in the picture.

With his back against the pillar, Ye Xiaoyu turned his gaze to Qinglang's body.

Qing Lang didn't speak anymore from just now, just stood there.

The surroundings began to shake again, and in just a moment, Ye Xiaoyu found that she was back outside the original prison.

Qing Lang still stood there, his eyes falling on the high walls.

stood for a long time, so long that Ye Xiaoyu was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly he began to turn around and took out a small string of small red lanterns from the saddle. He jumped up and hung it on the branch of the old locust tree in front of the prison gate.

Ye Xiaoyu remembered these small lanterns, and when she and Lu Yishou came out of the prison that day, they also discussed the origin of these small lanterns, and at that time the two of them agreed that they were hung by the family of a prisoner. However, no matter how much they thought about it, they would never have imagined that this bright red thing was actually hung up for them by Sunny Day, because he could not come to welcome them both out of prison.

Standing in place, I was in tears.

back then. How much she's missing?

*

"Knock on the emperor's ......"

"Stand down."

Morning to the rear. Ling Yu returned to the palace to change into court clothes, thinking that Ye Xiaoyu didn't know how, so he came to visit the "Huaning Palace".

But as soon as I walked into the dormitory, I saw him lying on the bed. Ye Xiaoyu burst into tears.

She hasn't woken up yet. It looks like he's having a sinister dream. Tears continued to flow out of the corners of his eyes. Ling Yu couldn't help but frown.

What kind of dreams can make people so sad even in dreams?

"Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu ......"

Ling Yu couldn't help but call softly.

“……”

The man on the bed slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Ling Yu, he was stunned at first, and then relieved.

"Are you crying so sadly, do you have nightmares?"

Ling Yu smiled and handed her a handkerchief.

"Oh, it seems to be, it's a shame."

Ye Xiaoyu got up from the bed, took the handkerchief handed over by Ling Yu, and wiped it on his face in a panic.

"It's not embarrassing, it's just that I'm a little curious, what did you dream about, how sad you could be?"

Ling Yu sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her and asked.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I dreamed about some things from the past. You know, in a dream, love is always magnified. ”

Ye Xiaoyu smiled vigorously.

"It's a nice day, you can go for a walk in the Imperial Garden......"

Ling Yu said.

"It's okay, I think it's pretty good here. Imperial garden or something, I'm afraid I'm going to get lost. ”

Thinking that Jia Xiuyu was also in this palace, and she was also the queen, she was a little flustered.

"Oh, by the way, the emperor, the emperor......"

The temporary change of title made Ye Xiaoyu inexplicably a little unaccustomed.

"The people who came from Rongzhou with me are still waiting in the inn on the edge of the imperial city, can I write a letter to them and send it to report their safety...... No, it's to reassure them......"

After finishing speaking, Ye Xiaoyu lowered her head in annoyance.

No matter how she expressed this sentence, it didn't seem to be right.

"Yes."

Ling Yu didn't care about her words, and agreed with a smile.

After getting permission, Ye Xiaoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he wanted to send letters to the outside was not because of the group of officials, but mainly because of Zou Youheng. Thinking of Zou Youheng's eyes before leaving that day, Ye Xiaoyu always felt that he should let him know that he was fine now.

"Well, when am I going to start making pastries?"

After a pause, Ye Xiaoyu asked.

Since Ling Yu saw her, she hadn't mentioned it again, but she was a little anxious.

"You can rest here for a day or two, just look so tired, the cake will definitely not be delicious."

Ling Yu said with a smile.

Ye Xiaoyu knew that she was wrong, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Perhaps, Ling Yu is right, the autumn light is good, she should take advantage of the rest time to go to the back garden for a stroll, maybe she can meet the old people.

*

On the fourth day, Zou Youheng received a letter from Ye Xiaoyu from the palace, which was only a few words of good health, without any superfluous words. Thinking of how inconvenient it is for her to move in the palace, it is normal not to write more in the letter.

This letter made Zou Youheng's uneasy mood more or less calm. But that's just a little bit.

*

The autumn in Yuejing is different from Rongzhou, there is less autumn rain and more sunshine, the so-called autumn is high and cool, but so.

Although I couldn't understand why Ling Yu didn't mention letting her make pastries for a long time, nor did she mention the date of her departure, although her mind was still full of doubts, but thinking that the other party was Ling Yu, Ye Xiaoyu was a little calm. He is Ling Yu, Ling Yu who has helped him so much, although the status of the two is different now, but no matter what, he will not deceive himself, right?

Moreover, with Ye Xiaoyu's current status, what can he deceive when he is already an emperor?

Since there is no power to change. Then simply relax and feel like you have gone to a strange place and have a free and high-quality vacation.

Sometimes Ye Xiaoyu admires herself a little, once she is optimistic, she is really invincible.

There are many gardens in the palace, rockeries and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, exotic flowers and plants, as long as you turn around in that garden, it is almost equivalent to seeing the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers of the great industry.

It's autumn. But the flowers and trees in the garden are still competing with each other. The wind moves and the flowers fall, thousands of flowers, paving several layers on the ground, only to see the first fall of snow. It's beautiful.

The view is beautiful. But Ye Xiaoyu's mind was not on it at all.

Since entering the palace. She had never seen Princess Lingwan, and she had never even heard of the name. Everyone seemed to be deliberately hidden. It was not good to ask Ling Yu this question in person, so she had to take this opportunity to come out and hang out. I'm going to find out for myself.

Various corridors were intertwined, and Ye Xiaoyu used a dagger to carve small marks on the trees on the side of the road as she walked, so as not to get lost when she came back later.

But she went around a few times and found that there were eunuchs and palace maids in front of each palace, and she couldn't get close to Ye Xiaoyu at all, so she could only walk back stupidly, it really didn't work, and when Ling Yu came next time, she would ask him casually.

Syllable.

Ye Xiaoyu's body was turning around, but his head was still looking around, and when he was not careful, he stepped on a dead branch, the ground was a little damp, his feet were unstable, and the whole person slipped down the slope.

The slope is not too steep, and it will be the end after a while.

Ye Xiaoyu endured the pain and stood up from the ground, and the moment she lowered her head, thousands of grass and mud horses suddenly roared in her heart.

――The body was covered with muddy water, and the original white cloud clothes could no longer be seen in their original appearance. The silk fabric was torn by the branches, strand by strand, like a rag hanging on the body.

I was about to scold a few times, but suddenly I found myself in a strange yard.

The reason why it is strange is because in this imperial city full of luxurious palaces, such an ordinary courtyard is like a flock of chickens and cranes, and it is as discordant as it is. Not only that, but the surrounding area is full of tall ancient trees, but the open space in front of the yard has been swept clean, and there is no fallen leaves at all. From this point of view, it does not look like it has been abandoned.

Ye Xiaoyu suddenly had an urge to find out.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and the red paint on it had almost fallen off because of its age, and some of the rest was stained on the door, which at first glance looked like mottled bloodstains.

Ye Xiaoyu walked to the door, reached out and gently knocked on the wooden door twice.

No one answered.

"Xiaoyu?"

Just as she was about to reach out and push the door, Ling Yu's voice sounded behind her.

"Why are you here?"

When Ye Xiaoyu turned around, Ling Yu couldn't help but laugh when she saw that her whole body was covered with dirt.

"Are you, just crawling out of the mud puddle?"

"I just accidentally fell off it, my whole body looks like this, there is a courtyard, I just want to see if there are any clean clothes, the palace is so big, I am dirty, I dare not walk back......"

Ye Xiaoyu pointed at herself a little embarrassed.

"This yard looks like no one lives, where will there be clean clothes for you to change and wash."

Ling Yu looked at her with a funny expression.

"That, that...... Am I really going to walk back like this? ”

Ye Xiaoyu's face was full of depression.

"That's not necessary, my carriage is parked outside."

Ling Yu pointed in the other direction and said.

"You are the emperor now, I am in the same car with you, is it not in line with the courtesy?"

Ye Xiaoyu said.

In my previous life, I was used to seeing the deception in the harem in film and television dramas, and those concubines were ruthless, but they would not be worse than the thieves in the rivers and lakes, she was just a dessert chef who should be ordered to the palace, and she only stayed for a few days, so it was better not to cause more trouble.

"When did you become so obsessed with etiquette? If you want to say this, the two of us are standing and talking like this now, and we have already crossed the courtesy. ”

Ling Yu said, his face was meaningful.

"Oh, then I'll talk to you on my knees."

Ye Xiaoyu said deliberately, and then made a gesture to kneel. (To be continued......)
