After having dinner in the stone house, Fan Li said: "The queen rests, let's go to the street to see the night scene of Huiji, and then go back to the post house." ”

Yayu's eyes showed a look of great reluctance, and on the surface he was still calm and relaxed, and said, "Adults and girls are at their own devices." If it weren't for the saddle horse, it would be a pleasure for us to talk at night. ”

Fan Li said: "Fan Li came to talk to the queen in his spare time. ”

The two said goodbye to Yayu, left the stone house, and strolled on Huiji Street. The night seems to be more lively than the day, and many foreign merchants who do not want to go to bed early also come out to visit and play, the shops are brightly lit, the street food stalls are connected, and the square not far from the palace is crowded with people, where some entertainment is being performed. There were constant cheers and cheers.

Fan Li said: "Huiji City is finally like that. ”

Zimei said: "The king of Yue and the Wen genre, they have risen with difficulty over the years, and the achievements in governing the Yue country are still quite large. ”

The two walked and chatted, and unconsciously walked into an alley, although the alley was not as lively as the street, but it was also lit up, and laughter flew out from time to time. It can be seen that the people are living a good life.

Suddenly, a small table appeared in front of it, with a few small red dots on it, and when I got closer, it turned out that there were several incense sticks burning in the incense burner. An old man came out of the room, hunched. Kneel down in front of the incense case and kowtow a few times. He muttered in his mouth: "The sky is above, the gods of the past, please bless the queen and her mother with a long life and good health, don't get sick, be happy!" "After praying, he knelt there, and said words in his mouth, and said things that he could not hear.

Fan Li and Zimei stood silently, but their hearts were shocked. Yayu doesn't know what good deeds he has done, what virtues he has accumulated, and he has been loved by the people like this.

The old man knelt down and prayed for a while, stood up, and when he looked up, he saw two people standing in the dark, and he couldn't help but be a little alarmed: "Who?" ”

Fan Li said: "Don't be afraid, I'm Fan Li." ”

The old man seemed to be in a bit of a panic when some secrets were discovered. hurriedly said: "It turned out to be the general, and the little old man kowtowed to the adult!" ”

Fan Li hurriedly grabbed the old man and said, "The old man can't help it." Let's speak in private, don't do it. ”

The old man said: "The old man doesn't know about the adult's night visit, please forgive me for the rudeness." ”

Fan Li said: "Uncle is not polite, you just burned incense and prayed for the queen?" ”

The old man said, "Exactly." Lao Er didn't dare to disturb Queen Yayu, so he had to pray to the gods to bless the queen in private. ”

Fan Li said: "The queen's benevolence is well known. But I don't know what kindness the queen has with Uncle Yu to make Uncle so touched? ”

The old man said, "It's a long story. That year, my family ran out of food and was about to starve to death. After that, he also ate very poorly, but he still sent his own rations to save his life, and he also sent his own hand-woven cloth. If it weren't for the queen's rescue, our family would have died a long time ago. ”

Saying goodbye to the old man, the two returned to the post house, Fan Li said with emotion: "To be the ultimate man, to get the support of the people, the queen of the world, Yayu is just one person." ”

Zimei said: "Behind this glamorous, how many people can know the suffering that the queen has experienced? ”

Thinking of what happened to the queen, Fan Li's heart was suddenly full of sadness. After being silent for a while, he said in a dumb voice: "Zimei, maybe King Yue has changed his attitude and no longer dislikes Yayu, right?" ”

Zimei shook her head and said, "No, as soon as we met, I could see how bitter Yayu was in her heart." As a king, for so many years, he didn't apply fat powder, didn't wear a good clothes, didn't even eat a good meal, followed King Yue and suffered so many crimes, and was subjected to King Yue's long-term cold abuse, which makes people crazy when they think about it. ”

Fan Li bit his lip tightly and couldn't say a word.

Zimei said: "I saw that when Yayu saw you, there was surprise in her eyes that couldn't be concealed, and there was nowhere to tell the sadness. She has been in love with you, and you are her lifeline. What a sin! In your great cause of restoration, the role of Queen Yayu is indispensable. Go meet her, give her encouragement, let her live strongly, give her comfort, he needs your comfort. ”

Fan Li shook his head and said, "Zimei, I really don't want to go, with Yayu, I don't have the kind of ease and pleasure with you." She is the queen and the mother of the nation, and I am her courtier. I felt a deep sense of guilt. ”

Zimei said: "I can't care about this. You should do this, both in public and private. To hell with your ethics that you take as a guideline. That can only be those loyal people! ”

Zimei almost pulled Fan Li, walked out of the post house, and came to the stone house: "Zimei said: "Go in, Yayu hasn't slept yet, if you don't go, she may not sleep tonight." Jiang He and Meng Ji are blocked by me, and no one can see you. ”

The lights are quietly on. Yayu hadn't slept yet, so he sat in the lamp and meditated. A soft knock was heard on the door, and the man in the moon-white robe was standing in the empty space.

Fan Li bowed down and said softly: "Queen, sister, Fan Li is polite!" ”

Yayu was stunned for a moment, stood up, and walked step by step. stood in front of Fan Li, raised his hand tremblingly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, you are finally here, I thought you wouldn't come." ”

Fan Li grabbed one of Yayu's hands and pressed it on his face: "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, can I come and talk to you?" As he spoke, he glanced outside and said, "Zimei has already cast a spell, Jiang He and Meng Jiang are blocked, and they can't see us." ”

Yayu nodded, leaned her head on Fan Li's chest, as if talking to herself: "How long have we not seen each other?" Five years? Eight years? Decade? ”

Fan Li said: "It's seven years. I went looking for Shenmu that year and came to see my sister once, and since then, we haven't seen each other. ”

Yayu raised his head, looked at Fan Li and said, "My brother remembers it very clearly. I don't remember exactly. Because I often see you by my side in a trance. I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Fan Li felt a heartache for this poor woman. At the same time, I also felt a burst of sorrow and melancholy, how could I owe so many debts before the great cause was accomplished? Xi Shi, Zheng Dan, Yayu, Luo Jiang, and of course, Gou. What shall I give them in return?

Yayu said: "Brother, there is no place to sit here, my sister can only invite you to sit on this grass bunk." You may be seated. ”

As he spoke, he sat down on the straw shop first, and patted the straw shop next to him: "Come, sit next to my sister, let's talk." ”

On this grass shop, Yayu accompanied King Yue for more than a dozen spring and autumn seasons. Fan Li said: "Sister, after so many years, has that person accepted you?" ”。

A cold chill flashed across Yayu's face, and then looked at Fan Li: "Brother, we finally met each other, can we not talk about him?" I don't want to say him! ”

This is not an answer, let Fan Li understand everything. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yayu's waist and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my sister, let's not talk about him." ”
