"I remember that day, it was a summer day with a torrential rain, and I watched my mother die of blood loss in childbirth, and I watched my younger brother who had just been born being killed by my mother, but I couldn't do anything. ”

Fu Yuying heard my voice and stood up from the mat. I walked slowly to him and continued: "Childe, in fact, you are much better than me, my mother was dragged into a mass grave after her death, and even the body was not left, I have nowhere to put my thoughts on her, and even the only relic left to me by my mother was lost by me. ”

Fu Yuying turned to look at me, he didn't get angry, he didn't have the slightest sadness, his expression was calm like water, but for some reason, at this moment, I hope that his face can show a little sadness, a little bit.

Fu Yuying looked at me who was close at hand, and asked softly, "Who allowed you to come in?" ”

I listened to his words, looked at his calm appearance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Why can you always stay sober and calm?" Even on days like today. ”

He looked at me for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, and walked out of the mourning hall on his own, and I followed behind him, looking at his back without moving.

His steps are slow, his movements are graceful, and from his back, he looks like a suave reader.

"The day of my mother's death is also my birthday, and every year the emperor will hold a feast to celebrate my birthday today, but he never remembered the departure of my mother, so every day, I don't know what kind of mood to face it, and over time, I won't show my sadness and joy on my face."

He stopped, and at this moment we had left Ning Xiao and were in a silent wood.

He turned to look at me, the moonlight setting slanting, reflecting his handsome features. At this moment, I suddenly felt that he was no longer so high and intimidating, and he was no longer so cold and intimidating.

At this moment, he is not the prince of the East Palace in my eyes, but Fu Yuying.

"In this way, at least the emperor still remembers you in his heart."

He chuckled, "It's just for the world to see, I know that he never thought of giving me the position of the crown prince, the reason why I can sit in today's position is because he was forced to use how much last resort and helplessness he paid, how can he treat me?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, I immediately blurted out: "I will help you ascend to the throne, definitely." ”

He laughed again, but did not speak.

"Actually, you're a lot luckier than me." I looked at him with mixed feelings in my heart, "I am a daughter, even if I try my best to prove my ability, I can't change my status in the Guogong Mansion, and if I am too sharp, I will provoke myself to be killed, but you are different, you are the emperor's son, this alone is enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, enjoy honor, if you work hard, you can climb higher and go further." ”

He shook his head and sighed: "Glory and wealth, the dignity of the Ninety-Five, these are not what I want. ”

He stopped talking, and his gaze turned from me to Mingyue, and I looked at his side face, and I didn't know what to say.

I don't want to find out what he wants, but getting the throne must be the only way for him to pursue what he seeks, and that's all I need to know.

Under the backdrop of the night, I fell into the same silence as his surroundings, and I no longer looked at his side face, but also at the bright moon.

The night is hazy, and the moon and stars are scarce.

I wish this silence and silence could last longer, and tonight I stood beside him, and for the first time I felt a feeling other than repression—comfort and ease.

We stood side by side, raising our eyes to the moon, and the two were silent for a long time, and then he suddenly said to me: "Song Yizhu, don't you want to gain my trust?" I'll give you a chance, tomorrow I will give you a letter, you will send it to the right prime minister's house for me, and this letter must be handed over to the right minister by hand, and no one else can see it. ”

Without thinking, I replied decisively, "Okay." ”

In the early morning of the second day, Yi Xuan didn't come to teach as usual, but Fu Yuying told him that I had a task today. I put on a light makeup, simply combed a flying fairy sideburns, and put a simple Huasheng hairpin in front, and wore a plain silver hairpin, I looked at myself in the bronze mirror, not too eye-catching, nor did I show a sense of lowliness, a small jasper look, the real sense complements each other.

Fu Yuying returned to the mourning hall after chatting with me last night, and he didn't sleep all night, so he personally came to me this morning to give me the letter, and told me the location of the right minister's mansion and the route to walk. After I finished breakfast, Fu Yuying took me out of Ningxiao, he did not enter the capital with me, it seems that the emperor asked him to investigate the corruption case of the prefect of Dongzhou.

I put the letter in the middle of my clothes, and when I entered the capital, I tried to walk next to the edge of the street without attracting attention.

After walking for a long time before I found my destination, I went up and knocked on the door of the mansion of Youxiangdi, but after a while, a small servant opened the door, he held a broom in his hand, and asked me respectfully: "May I ask who this young lady is looking for?" ”

I replied to him: "Is Lord Xu Yuan here?" ”

"Lord Xu hasn't come back yet, so Miss has something to tell me to do."

I smiled slightly, "Don't bother, it's something that needs to be interviewed, since Lord Xu is not here, then I'll come back later." ”

I am helpless, this hour has not yet fallen, I came to Xu Yuan Chengding at this time to no avail, I am too anxious, I still have to be calm in the future.

I turned around, and was about to leave, when someone suddenly stopped me from behind, "Girl, stay." ”

I turned my head, and it was a middle-aged woman dressed in a gorgeous costume, who seemed to be Xu Yuancheng's main wife.

She walked towards me with a smile, and said as she walked: "Since the girl is here to find the master, then sit in the house first, and when the master gets off the morning court, you are talking to the master." ”

I didn't look at her smile with good intentions, but I wasn't afraid of what she could do to me, and besides, I could understand that after all, it was a woman who came to visit his husband alone, and it was understandable that she was hostile, and I didn't avoid trouble in the future, so I just explained it to her, and if she really didn't believe me, I told her that I was a subordinate of the prince, and forgive her and didn't dare to act rashly against me.

I thought so, and went in.

She took her into a room, and let the servants serve tea and snacks, and after she had withdrawn from her left and right, she began to make small talk with me: "What is the girl's name, and what should I call her?" ”

I was indeed a little thirsty along the way, so I drank a little tea before replying, "My surname is Song Mingzhu, and my wife can call me Miss Song." ”

She nodded with a smile and said, "It's a good name, is there anything important that Miss Song came to our master today?" Can you tell me? ”

I smiled at her and whispered, "It's not a big deal, but it's really inconvenient to talk to Madame, and I ask Madame to forgive me." ”

She was still smiling, "It's okay, can I ask whose daughter the girl is?" ”

"My father is a sinner."

I only said this, and she also knew it, after all, the matter of the Guogong Mansion was full of storms in the city that day, and I had told her that my surname was Song, she only needed to use her brains to know whose daughter I was.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a trace of contempt, and her attitude towards me suddenly changed greatly, "How powerful my background should be, it turns out that I am just a lost dog who sells his brother for glory." ”

I knew early on that she wasn't as friendly as she seemed, so I wasn't surprised by her attitude.

She stared at me viciously, and her tone was not friendly: "Miss Song, don't think that I don't know your little thoughts, the Guogong Mansion has fallen, and you will immediately come to provoke our master, but if you want to enter the door of this Prime Minister's Mansion, it depends on whether I, the head of the house, agree!" ”

After she finished speaking to me, before I could say anything, she called out to the door: "Someone! Tie me up with this shameless thing! Today, I will let you know that this Xiangfu is not a place where all cats and dogs can come in! ”
