Xiao Feng didn't wait for Du Yunjin to say anything before turning around and leaving, leaving Du Yunjin who was still in shock, as well as Xiao Yu, who was expressionless, and Xiao Yuli, who was gloating.

"Ah Yu......" She took two steps back, stood at Xiao Yu's side, and shook his sleeve like a poor puppy. I'm sorry, I didn't think I'd get involved. ”

Before she could finish speaking, she heard Xiao Yuli laugh proudly.

"I heard that the eldest sister-in-law is a generation of heroines, and this time I can let the seventh brother and I have a good understanding of it." Xiao Yuli didn't expect Xiao Feng to come to this trick, but it was better, it saved him a lot of effort, after all, whether it was Xiao Yu or Du Yunjin, as long as he stepped on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, there was no return.

"Ah Yu......" Du Yunjin ignored Xiao Yuli's villain, her eyes and her attention were always on Xiao Yu's body. She knew what the position of the crown prince meant to Xiao Yu, not a status symbol, but a life talisman. She also knew how much effort Xiao Yu had to make to keep the position of this stormy prince. If she had to choose, she would rather sacrifice everything she had than let Xiao Yu lose his position as the crown prince and let him suffer any damage.

Xiao Yu's gaze looked vacantly into the distance, and Du Yunjin followed his gaze, which was the direction of Qiwu Palace.

There is now the Empress Xiao Chen, but many years ago there was also a big Chen. Although Xiao Chen's quietly erased the shadow of Da Chen's location, those memories had taken root in Xiao Yu's heart. His mother had gone too early to leave him with any thoughts, and the only thing was the position of the crown prince. As long as he is the crown prince, people will remember that she was once a virtuous and early Empress Chen.

His face was unwavering, as if shrouded in a cloud of mist, Du Yunjin couldn't see his expression clearly, couldn't guess what he was thinking, he was standing beside her, but it was as far away as if he was separated from her by several milky ways.

She whispered a few words, and he was still lost in his own thoughts. Seeing this, she could only pull his sleeve tighter, as if it was the only lifeline that the drowning self clutched.

Xiao Yuli looked at the two of them, sneered weirdly, and left slowly. A lot of things are finally starting to get interesting. From this day on, he had a lot of time to do what he wanted to do, so he didn't care, he could have waited longer.

Xiao Yu didn't speak, Du Yunjin stood with him silently, and the shadows of the two people pulled out a long shadow in the sunset, entangled together, and seemed to turn into one.

The masters were stunned and didn't speak, and Guo Housheng and Ruyu had to wait quietly on the side, waiting for the summons when the masters woke up.

"Sister-in-law."

An urgent call made Guo Housheng and Ruyu take the lead in turning their heads to look, who was the moon-white robe fluttering all the way, who was not Xiao Shaokang who had helped Xiao Feng before.

"Lord Yu." Guo Housheng and others saluted him one after another, but he didn't stop at all, and walked straight in front of Du Yunjin and Xiao Yu.

"Eldest brother."

Xiao Yu, who had never woken up after being called by Du Yunjin a few times, came to his senses in an instant when he heard Xiao Shaokang's voice.

"Ninth brother? Aren't you taking care of your father? How did you go back again? ”

Xiao Shaokang glanced at Du Yunjin with a smile, and then said to Xiao Yu: "I was worried that my eldest brother was worried about my eldest sister-in-law, so I came here to tell you that my father has allowed me to go on the expedition with my eldest sister-in-law." ”

"You're going too?" Xiao Yu was shocked by this news, and when he heard that he was going to southern Xinjiang, he had already realized that this was a trap, and he didn't know if it was Xiao Yuli's or Xiao Feng's, for his position as the crown prince, and for his life. Later, things took a turn for the worse, he didn't expect Xiao Feng to agree to let Du Yunjin go on the expedition instead of him, and he didn't expect that Xiao Shaokang would also accompany him. After all, Xiao Shaokang has not yet reached the crown, even if he has Xiao Chen's protection, he has not yet had the strength to compete with Xiao Yuli, how could he be willing to let his beloved young son go to death.

"Yes. A few days ago, I heard rumors in the army that there was a lot of poisonous fog in that place in southern Xinjiang, and the previous defeat of General Rong was also due to the fact that the soldiers had inhaled the poisonous fog and suffered heavy casualties before the official war with the enemy camp began. The eldest brother also knew that I had always liked to study those poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers, so I begged my father to let me go to southern Xinjiang with my eldest sister-in-law. By the way, you can also take care of the eldest sister-in-law and reassure the eldest brother. ”

Xiao Shaokang said sincerely, and he couldn't see the slightest conspiracy.

Xiao Yu smiled at him and said softly: "There is a war there, you have to be careful." ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

Xiao Shaokang smiled as always, Xiao Yu nodded silently at him, gently pulled a Du Yunjin who was tugging at his sleeve, and slowly walked towards the East Palace.

Du Yunjin hadn't studied his words that he only cared about Xiao Shaokang's safety, and her heart was full of warmth from Xiao Yu's hand that held her. That was the first time Xiao Yu took the initiative to hold her hand, and his palm was very smooth, even smoother than hers, which made her feel a little inferior. He is pampered all the year round, he was born as a son, and then he is the prince, even if Da Chen is not there, even if everyone else looks down on him, but he still does not dare to snub him with food and clothing. And she has lived with her father at the border since she was a child, and she has been dancing with knives and guns for many years, and her hands have long been covered with calluses left behind.

Such a her, don't say that she can't compare to the peerless Liang Naixin, even ordinary palace maids can't compare, will she be disgusted by him like this? She quietly withdrew her hand, but he pulled it tighter, and with great force, as if in warning.

It was twenty-three years at the beginning of the Jing Dynasty, just fifteen years after Du Yunjin first met Xiao Yu, and just three years after Du Yunjin became the crown princess.

Du Yunjin always remembered the scene when she left the imperial capital at that time, and it was the first time she put down the long sword in her hand and put on the armor again in order to pursue the love in her heart. On the day she was ordered to go on the expedition, Xiao Yu stood on the high tower of Xuanwu Gate, looking at her with her hands in her hands, smiling slightly, like the most beautiful sunlight in spring, making people slightly drunk. With 7,000 soldiers and horses, she rushed to Changdao County in southern Xinjiang to join Rong Jingcheng, and then jointly wiped out the Yiren clan.

Her weak body could not support the heavy armor, but it was when she saw his gaze and shouldered his position as the crown prince that she could hold on, even though her cheeks were already abnormally red.

She looked at him on the city tower and said silently, "Ayu, wait for me to return." "When I return, not only will your position as the crown prince be firmly kept, but I will also teach the world not to underestimate you, the prince.

At that time, she didn't know that things in the world usually think like this, but it was desperately moving in the other direction.
