Yang Yanzhao rushed to the West Palace, naturally he had to meet the Empress Dowager Zhou, heard the summons, he hurriedly stepped into the hall, to the side of the door and looked up, only to see a cold and glamorous woman sitting on the pear flower chair, wearing ink-colored clothes, high phoenix buns, eyebrows cold but it is difficult to hide the nobility in the bones, after the small Fu, the famous beauty in the clouds, the mother who completed the change of dynasty with two edicts, turned out to be such a character.

Yang Yanzhao thought for a moment, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went in to greet him, "Weichen Yang Yanzhao asked the Empress Dowager Zhou to say goodbye, and I wish the mother a long and healthy life, good health and peace." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou put down the teacup, looked at the man wearing a light bamboo-colored double-patterned brocade dress below, he walked into the door, it seemed to be with a little light, lined with his eyebrows and sparse eyes, there was a sense of elegance between the delicate, Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly remembered that Chai Xiyun described him with the words "elegant and profound", but it was worthy of his name, a handsome son.

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at it for a moment, and Fang waved her hand to signal Yang Yanzhao to calm down, "The mourning family is lively here today, Xia Lin just picked up Yuan Wei, and Yang Gongzi followed, what's the matter, are you here to see how the county lord is?" ”

"Wechen came to visit the Queen Mother, and second, I came to visit His Royal Highness the County Lord." Yang Yanzhao replied with a smile.

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled lightly, picked up the fan sideways, and responded, "Look at Yun'er, just say look at Yun'er, why bother using the mourning family as a pretense, when Yun'er was not in the West Palace, I didn't see you say that I came to visit the mourning family." ”

Yang Yanzhao was slightly embarrassed, and said continuously, "It's Weichen's rudeness, but I heard that Niangniang loves to be quiet, so I don't dare to disturb Niangniang, and the minister will definitely come to the door to ask Niangniang for guilt another day." ”

"It's not necessary to ask for sin, why, is Yun'er telling you that the mourning family likes to be pure?"

"The minister listened to what His Majesty said."

"Emperor" Empress Dowager Zhou muttered, I don't know if she thought of the dispute with him today, or all the things she knew when she was a child, she was slightly stunned.

Yang Yanzhao noticed it slightly, but he didn't think much about it, and only asked, "I heard that the county lord was punished today, I don't know what happened now?" Niangniang can allow the minister to go and visit. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at him again, and when she heard his steady tone, she also liked it very much, so she pointed to the inner room and said, "Yun'er's knees are red and swollen, and she is smearing medicine in the house!" Princess Pingning is like a sister to her, she is not happy about this matter, the mourning family can bring her back from the emperor, but they can't twist her shaft, you go and talk about it, don't let her be confused. ”

"Yes, thank you for the reminder." Yang Yanzhao responded to the salute, and walked to the inner room with the palace people, and the big palace maid who led the way passed a sound on the side of the door, and the sound came into the house, Chai Xiyun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, hurriedly put down the skirt, and asked rhetorically, "Why did he enter the palace?" ”

Qing Xuan hurriedly stopped, "What are you doing, the medicine hasn't been wiped yet!" ”

"Wait until he's gone, and then wipe it, so that he can see what kind of system it has become."

"But the doctor instructed me to wait for the medicine to dry and then wipe it, and go back and forth three times."

"It's not a moment, let him in first!"

"Yes!" Qing Xuan couldn't help it, so she had to put away the ointment first, personally invite Yang Yanzhao to enter, and then ordered the girls to wait on the side of the door, and turned around to cover the door.

Chai Xiyun sat on the bed, slightly curled up on her knees, wearing a light gauze dress with cloud ink, sitting with a solemn face, although Yang Yanzhao arrived, she couldn't get her to smile.

"What's going on, show me." Yang Yanzhao hurriedly rushed to the bed, Chai Xiyun flashed sideways, and responded, "It's okay." ”

"Why are you okay, I've been kneeling for two hours, and I haven't even had a futon, let me see." Yang Yanzhao grabbed her shoulders and said hurriedly.

Chai Xiyun looked embarrassed, and pushed and said, "It's injured on the knee, how can I show you." ”

Yang Yanzhao only reacted at this time, she was taking care of the rules and taking care of the system, so she said softly, "I just heard from Niangniang that your knees are red and swollen, I just want to take a look, you don't let me see it, I always don't worry." ”

"You're not a doctor, what's the use of seeing it?" Chai Xiyun was calm and lazy to speak.

Yang Yanzhao was always uneasy, so he simply stepped forward and lifted his skirt by himself, Chai Xiyun was startled, it was too late to hide, and he simply stopped resisting, and he looked at it, but saw that the knees were red and swollen, forming a striking contrast with the creamy skin next to him, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help frowning, and said distressedly, "It's all like this, and said that it's okay, but it's medicated." ”

"Wipe it once, and you will accept it when you come." Chai Xiyun whispered, Yang Yanzhao sighed, and when he saw the ointment on the side of the table, he got up and took it, "But this." ”

Chai Xiyun nodded, Yang Yanzhao sat on the side of the bed, and said softly, "I'll wipe it for you." ”

"Hmm" Chai Xiyun nodded obediently, Yang Yanzhao had never done such a delicate thing, he didn't know whether it should be light or heavy for a while, and only tentatively touched her injury, seeing that Chai Xiyun didn't react, Fang continued to apply the ointment, Chai Xiyun turned his head sideways, and sighed faintly, although it was a very low voice, Yang Yanzhao was not difficult to notice, and hurriedly persuaded him, "I know that you are not happy for Princess Pingning, you want to help her, you want to save her, but this kind of thing is indescribable, in front of everyone's eyes, the princess of the Great Song Dynasty and the prince of Liao, both of them are like this, Even if someone framed it, it is impossible to argue, not to mention that the official family decided that the princess was misconducted, and wanted to use peace to solve this dispute, you fought for it, and what was the result, didn't the official family also didn't care about the face of you and Princess Changqing, and you knelt for two hours, and there was no change! ”

Chai Xiyun closed his eyes slightly, as if he was talking to himself, "I am hating myself, I know who did it, but there is no evidence to prove her, my best sister, she has been wronged so much, but I can only watch, to take into account the royal system, to take into account the face of all the daughters of the royal family, today the official family told me that this is a family ugly, not publicized, not checked, but he took care of everyone, only gave up Fuping, how innocent Fuping is, she doesn't fight or rob, but she just wants to have a few days of peace, but there are people who can't tolerate her, Why bother with this kind of dirty thing to come to her, it is difficult for her to be cautious everywhere, and now she has ended up like this. ”

"Didn't Xu Zhan end hastily! Just had some friendship, the fate was over, just outside the palace, I saw him, his eyes were blank, and he looked stunned, but he didn't look like the handsome and dashing young man in the past. ”

"If I had known that there was such a difficulty, I would never have attracted their relationship that day, I didn't have to worry about it, but I could have walked cleanly, now..." ”

Yang Yanzhao leaned her into his arms as soon as he approached, "You don't have to blame yourself, you had a good intention, and you wanted to give her a stable life, but your love is shallow." ”

"If Xu Gongzi is a tourist in the rivers and lakes, I hope he will ride a white horse and take Fuping away to fly away, but it's a pity! He was born in a high gate, not a free body, he has accumulated fame and fame, and he is full of nobles, and he can't gamble. ”

Yang Yanzhao unconsciously hugged her a little tighter, only to hear Chai Xiyun lightly open his lips, and said in a slightly desolate tone, "I remember the first time I saw Fuping, she was very thin, her face was cold, and she didn't talk to us, if I touched her, she would hide, I understand her helplessness, just like when I woke up in Chaoyang Palace, it was the earth-shattering, the new lord ascended the throne, a room of people!" It's all from the Zhao family, the third aunt hugged me tightly, she told the first emperor that she wanted me to be raised under her knees, but the eighth prince brother said that he was very happy to see me, and he must be raised in the middle palace to be his companion, I am luckier than Fuping, at least the first emperor gave me a home, but what about her! In this palace, everyone has a side to rely on, only she, just so lonely, stumbling away for seventeen years, I thought that she and Xu Zhan were in love, and finally came to the bitter end, how could Yuan Wei and I have to help her fight for this favor from the emperor, but why her, so many people in the palace, why her. ”

Chai Xiyun calmly told the past, said Zhao Fuping, but also said that he was talking about himself, Zhao Fuping was seven years old when Qi Niangzi hanged herself, the year of the Chenqiao Mutiny, Chai Xiyun was only three years old, she witnessed death and experienced parting, at that time, she didn't know what hatred was, what was resentment, Zhao Kuangyin gave this poor child all the kindness, but all the favor, after all, could not offset the pain of the family and country buried deep in her heart.

Yang Yanzhao's heart tightened, he could feel Chai Xiyun's cold body, and tried to warm her body with his own body temperature, and whispered in her ear, "Don't think about it, don't think about those things, you have me, and I will have it for the rest of my life." ”

Chai Xiyun was upset in his heart, unconsciously ignored his affection, pondered for a moment, but suddenly understood something, and got up slightly and asked, "Could it be because of this?" ”

"What?" Yang Yanzhao was puzzled.

Chai Xiyun stared back at his angular face, "Because she didn't snuggle up!" Zhao Qingyu wanted to harm her precisely because she did not rely on her, so that she could solve her crisis and get out of the way. ”

"You mean, because Princess Fuping doesn't have the help of six relatives, and she can't be taken seriously by the official family, even if she is framed, it won't cause an uproar, so Princess Tongchang chose her." Yang Yanzhao said, frowning and thinking for a while, but he felt reasonable, "In this way, it seems to make sense." ”

"She really made a good calculation, she looked at me and Yuan Wei as dead people." Chai Xiyun was angry, and couldn't help but say a little heavier, Yang Yanzhao was shocked by her indignant appearance, and before she could answer, Chai Xiyun suddenly pulled out of bed and said anxiously, "I'll go to my uncle and say." ”

"Yun'er" Yang Yanzhao got up and grabbed her, subconsciously holding her arm, "Princess Tongchang is not afraid of you, she is determined that the matter is a foregone conclusion, the official decree, you and Princess Changqing have trouble to no avail, if you offend the official family because of this, she will applaud!" Chai Xiyun stabilized his mind and did not continue to move, Yang Yanzhao said, "Everyone knows that the road of harmony is not easy to walk, Princess Tongchang went to make trouble with the emperor, even if she was reluctant, she accepted the order, the same thing, the same identity, she went with Princess Tongchang, Princess Pingning can't go, there is no other reason, just because she is a friend of you and Princess Changqing, you can be more graceful than others, you can ignore the family and country, regardless of the face of the Great Song Dynasty, the bigger the trouble, the greater the official's disgust with Princess Pingning, It will even affect you and Princess Changqing, our official family, after all, is the emperor, and in his heart, he puts Jiangshan Sheji first. ”

Chai Xiyun thought about it reasonably, slowly walked back to the bedside, sat down in a daze, only to feel a astringency in his eyes, two lines of tears fell down his cheeks, and his voice trembled but asked with a little unwillingness, "It's not enough, it's not enough." ”

Yang Yanzhao sighed, stepped forward and half stood beside her, held her forearm with both hands, and persuaded in the most peaceful tone, "It's just sooner or later, what should be paid back must be returned." ”
