Chapter 57: The Past Is Like Smoke
Hearing that Yu Cihe calmly revealed his identity to himself, although Shang Ling had long been ready to accept Yu Cihe's extraordinary, but suddenly, the two disciples who had never known each other sat together and became people sitting next to him and Princess Su'an, which was really a bit surprising. Yu Tzu Hyuk saw Shang Ling's incredulity, so he asked, "What's wrong?" Not convinced? ”
"I didn't ...... If not, just ...... It just feels a little sudden. Shang Ling suddenly began to stutter.
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Then what do you think of my identity?"
Shang Ling: "It's ...... Pretty good. ”
Yu Tzu Hyuk sneered and said, "But I don't think it's good."
Shang Ling: "What's wrong?" Don't you want to do things for Princess Su'an? ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "No. Princess Su'an has the grace of knowing me, and I once swore that in this life, only Her Royal Highness the princess will look forward to the horse and never betray. ”
Shang Ling: "That...... Then why are you ......?"
Yu Cihe: "What I hate is the open and secret fighting and deceit in the court."
Shang Ling: "Hey~ It's all the fault of power!"
Yu Tzu Hyuk: "Her Royal Highness the princess has been masked all her life, who can understand the pain in her heart?"
"Speaking of which, when Princess Su'an was unmasked, I still saw her." Shang Ling couldn't help muttering on the side, but he didn't want to be listened to by Yu Cihe.
"What did you say?" Yu Cihe's sudden words startled Shang Ling.
Shang Ling trembled and said, "Huh? What the? I...... How can I ......"
Yu Tzu Hyuk continued: "You just said that you have seen Her Royal Highness the princess when she was unmasked?"
Shang Ling panicked and said, "Ah...... Ah, yes, yes, yes. When Princess Su'an has not been masked, she does not ...... Isn't it just when you were young? ”
Yu Tzu Hyuk asked reluctantly, "Have you seen Her Royal Highness the princess when she was young?"
Shang Ling's psychological defense line completely collapsed, and he said with a sad face: "Yu Cihe, I really didn't mean to see Her Royal Highness Princess Su'an. Don't be angry! I will never tell anyone that I have seen Princess Su'an in the future, don't worry, I will never say it! ”
Yu Tzu Hyuk said with a blank face: "Why am I angry?"
Shang Ling sat up straight and said, "You're not angry?" Aren't you sent by Princess Su'an to probe me? ”
Yu Tzu He: "I was indeed sent by the princess, but I only came to protect Lingxian Pavilion, why did I want to probe you?" Is there anything else you haven't explained?! ”
"Nope! No! No! Shang Ling hurriedly waved his hand, "I thought I said that I had met Princess Su'an, so you came to visit me and asked me how I saw it, where I saw it, or something." ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Then how did you meet you?" Where did you see it? ”
Shang Ling hurriedly said: "Look! You're here to probe me! ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "You said it yourself, wouldn't it be rude if I didn't ask?"
"I ......" Shang Ling hung his head and said, "It was by chance that I met Her Royal Highness Princess Su'an at the city gate. She was very cute when she was younger, and that was the first time I saw her, but it wasn't long before she put on a veil. I've only seen her face once. ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk thought for a long time before he said, "Oh."
Shang Ling was full of questions about Nai Yuxiang's running around, so he took this opportunity to ask Yu Cihe, "Hey, Yu Cihe?" I have a question for you. ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Hmm."
Shang Ling: "Hmm...... That one...... As a disciple of Lingxian Pavilion, you are Yu Cihyuk, but as a maid beside Princess Su'an, you are Xiao Nai. So, how did you manage to be both Yu Cihyuk and Xiao Nai? I mean, how did you manage to run on both sides of Lingxian Pavilion and Jinci Palace? Because as far as I can see, you have always been with us, so what about Xiao Nai in Jinci Palace? ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "Oh, that's what you're talking about. Naturally, I don't know how to do the art of clone, so it would be better to find someone to replace me? ”
Shang Ling: "However, since you are Xiao Nai, except for Princess Su'an, everyone else in the palace should have seen you!" How to replace this? ”
Yu Cihyuk: "Face swapping."
Shang Ling: "Face swapping? Isn't this a long-term use that will damage the face of the body? ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "That's what I hate. If there were no rebellious ministers and thieves in the court, how could there be such a thing that hurt oneself? ”
Shang Ling was silent. Although everyone in the court does all kinds of things, it is for themselves, for the people they assist, and for the sake of interests. Since ancient times, it has often been said that "loyalty and filial piety are in dilemma". This loyalty applies to anyone above the court. However, loyalty and patriotism are divided into loyalty and foolish loyalty. Some people uphold the idea of loyalty and patriotism, but they do things that hurt nature and reason; Although he loves the people, the country and the king, the monarch is mediocre, but he still never gives up and works hard for the king. These are foolish loyalties. Shang Ling suddenly felt that he particularly admired Her Royal Highness Princess Su'an, as a child of the royal family, as a person in the bureau, but she was also a clear-eyed person, she could see all the ugliness in this court, and she was willing to admit these royal stains. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Shang Ling felt that although Yu Cihe was deep in the palace, she was by the side of a clear-eyed person like Princess Su'an, so she shouldn't be able to suffer any loss, not to mention that she was now in Lingxian Pavilion all day long, with Xuan Zhuyi and so many other people, and she was still sitting next to her, living opposite her, and she felt a lot more relieved in her heart. This person likes to drink when he is happy, and Shang Ling is even more so. said that he drank with Yu Cihyuk, but he got himself drunk first, and in the end, Yu Cihe carried him on his back and sent him back to the room.

The Nai family in Nanyu Prefecture suffered a catastrophe ten years ago. At that time, the Nai family was the martial arts of Southern Yuzhou. The Nai family has practiced martial arts for generations, both male and female, but it focuses on cultivating men, and Nai Heng was the head of the Nai family at that time. Nai Heng has two younger brothers behind him, but these two younger brothers are not in Nanyu Prefecture. The Nai family has a rule that after the new head of the family succeeds to the throne, the other siblings of the new head of the Nai family are not allowed to live with the head of the family, nor can they be in the same state or county as the head of the family. As the eldest son and head of the Nai family, Nai Heng is frank and upright. Although he is a martial artist in Nanyu Prefecture, he is kind and amiable, and the title of this martial artist was also given to him by the people of Southern Yuzhou, so Nai Heng's reputation was spread. The famous Nai Heng has a daughter and a son, that is, Nai Yuxiang and her younger brother Nai Yucheng. Nai Yuxiang has shown a talent for martial arts since she was a child, and her memory is also surprisingly good, as long as she shows her the basic moves, she doesn't have to worry about it anymore. The slightly more difficult moves only need to be demonstrated for her two or three times, and she will be able to do it. But Nai Yucheng is the opposite of his sister, he may not be able to learn the basic moves when he shows him ten times, and his sister Nai Yuxiang personally teaches his younger brother to complete every move. can only be said to be a creation to make people, if you want to blame Nai Yuxiang for not being a boy, and blame her for not being born in other families. In the slightly patriarchal Nai family, although Nai Yuxiang also belongs to the kind of "talented" person and is also Nai Yucheng's sister, he is not taken seriously. But Nai Yuxiang didn't care, because she knew that the head of the Nai family would definitely be her younger brother in the future, so she also tried her best to help her younger brother, for him to become the next excellent martial artist, and for him to become the head of the Nai family in the future.
When Nai Yuxiang was ten years old, because she taught her younger brother to practice martial arts, she injured her leg instead, and was used by Nai Heng to use a family stick. Nai Yuxiang, who was seriously injured, lay on the bed and cried for the first time. She hates both the Nai family and her father. For the first time, she felt her insignificance, and for the first time understood her place in the family. Before dawn the next day, Nai Yuxiang dragged his seriously injured body and left Nai's house in the rain and left Nanyuzhou. Nai Yuxiang, who was wandering outside, was seriously injured and drenched in the rain, and his condition immediately deteriorated and fainted on the side of the road. Nai Yuxiang woke up lying in a splendid house. Nai Yuxiang got up lightly and slowly walked to the door. There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Nai Yuxiang endured the pain and returned to the bed quickly. The door opened, and a veiled little girl walked in. The girl walked up to Nai Yuxiang, reached out and touched her forehead, and said silently, "Well, the fever has subsided." Then, she stood up again, walked to the side, picked up a piece of cloth, dipped it in some water, and walked back to wipe Nai Yuxiang's face. Nai Yuxiang was a little embarrassed, so he flashed his eyelashes. As soon as the girl saw that Nai Yuxiang was showing signs of awakening, she hurriedly put the cloth aside and stood up. Nai Yuxiang opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, and said softly, "Who are you?" Although through the veil, I could still see the girl smile lightly and said, "You don't care who I am, it's the right thing for you to take care of your body first."
Nai Yuxiang nodded slightly, and settled there with peace of mind. I stayed here for more than a month. Later, after living here for a long time, Nai Yuxiang learned that the girl who helped her in front of her turned out to be Xiao Yunyi, the princess of Su'an. She was flattered and hurriedly thanked Princess Su'an. Xiao Yunyi smiled and asked, "Do you have a home?" If you don't have a home, make it your home. Nai Yuxiang told Xiao Yunyi about himself. Princess Su'an immediately took Nai Yuxiang back to Nai's house in Nanyu Prefecture. It's a pity that in just one month, the people of the Nai family have disappeared. After asking the people in Nanyu Prefecture, they learned that Nai Heng, the head of the Nai family, had offended Juzheng, the most powerful hooligan in Nanyu Prefecture. It is said that Ju is a distant relative of Lord Su Huan in the capital, and this Ju Zheng has just moved to Nanyu Prefecture. As soon as I came to Nanyu Prefecture, I heard that there was a martial artist in Nanyu Prefecture, so I went to Naijia to compete, but I didn't want to break my leg. So, on this ground, I often trouble the Nai family. I don't know who this Ju Zheng heard about, saying that the Nai family has a daughter who is very beautiful, so he wants to marry Nai Yuxiang and talk about it privately. However, Nai Yuxiang has long been missing, and he is still a child. The Nai family naturally rejected Juzheng. Ju Zheng felt that his face had been lost again and again, so he united all forces and secretly set fire to the Nai family. Nai Yuxiang heard the whole thing, just shed a tear, didn't say a word, and followed Princess Su'an Xiao Yunyi back to the palace and became the maid next to Princess Su'an, Xiao Nai.

Yu Cihe sighed slightly, and said lightly: "The past is like smoke, gone with the wind." After covering the quilt for Shang Ling, he turned around and left.
