The two sat awkwardly opposite each other in the carriage, Ye Jin sat silently, only occasionally when he was pulled by the bumpy carriage, he let out a slight "hiss", and looked out indifferently through the half-raised curtain, and the quiet street under the night retreated quickly with the carriage and disappeared into the black curtain.

Yun Jing turned her head a little awkwardly and didn't look at Ye Jin, why did she feel close to someone who she clearly hated a few days ago.

Ye Jin opened his mouth first to break the embarrassment: "It turns out that you didn't target me that day for yourself, but for your sister." ”

Between siblings, they should be so protective of each other.

Yun Jing immediately retorted: "I'm not for her!" I'm just for my father, this marriage contract was made by my father and the emperor back then, my father made a promise, and he attaches great importance to this marriage, if it weren't for the fact that she was not in the house since she was a child, and Brother Zisu was always sick, otherwise this marriage would not have been delayed until now. ”

It turned out that the fingertips of the Son of Heaven were married......

"You don't like your sister?"

"I don't like this sinister and vicious woman, she is like the daughter of my Yun family!" There seemed to be disdain for Yun Zhen between the words.

Ye Jin's heart moved: "Are you saying that Yun Zhen didn't grow up in Yun Mansion since she was a child?" ”

"When I was a child, I was taken out by my mother's maid to play and lost, and I only found it a few years ago."

She suddenly reached out and grabbed Yun Jing's wrist, and asked tremblingly, "Seven years ago?" ”

Yun Jing was so frightened by her that she shrank back: "How do you know?" ”

Everything has an answer, Ye Jin's heart seems to have been slashed by an ice blade for a long time, the flesh and blood turned over and couldn't tell whether it was painful or cold, she leaned on it with a pale face, the night breeze blew, and her face was cold, but she didn't cover her wounds anymore when the carriage was bumpy.

The carriage passed through the gate of the Daodao Palace and stopped in front of a remote palace gate, the Zhu Gate was closed, and the two dim palace lamps on the door were swaying with the night wind, and the lonely shadow was fluttering.

Yun Jing pushed open the heavy palace door: "This is the most remote place in the palace, let's go in and wait, I have sent someone to inform Brother Zisu, he should be here soon." ”

Ye Jin was stunned for a moment and stopped: "Didn't you go to see Yun Zhen?" ”

"What is there to see about her, but she is holding back what bad things are going to hurt you! Don't you want to see Brother Zisu? ”

"Why are you helping me?" Since she knew that Yun Zhen was insidious and vicious, and now that she was the crown princess, she would only get worse, why did she help her?

"I hear you." Yun Jing paused and said this sentence without beginning or end.

Ye Jin frowned suspiciously, and heard her continue: "What you said about walking side by side to earn a promised future. If he could have half such courage and determination, she wouldn't have to struggle with loyalty and freedom.

In the second half of the night when the moon shadow moved westward, there was still silence outside the door, Yun Jing was very sleepy but held on, little by little, Ye Jin found a pillow cushion for her to cushion, reached out and pressed it on the top of her head, and the head under her hand fell down like a stream.

A light smile appeared on the corner of Ye Jin's mouth, how could there be such a lovely person, who was obviously sleepy but still had to accompany her.

The half-lit red candle on the table was probably brought by Yun Jing casually, printed with golden characters, and she suddenly had a premonition when she watched the candle flame jump, he would not appear.

The red candle burned out, the last trace of fire was extinguished, and the whole room fell into a deathly silence, Ye Jin moved his stiff body and stood up and walked out of the door, walking around in a daze, the moonlight poured down, although the palace was dilapidated, it was coated with a thin layer of light by the moonlight like water, and it did not look desolate.

In the waist-deep wild grass, a slender white shadow walked slowly alone, humming a poignant tune, wearing a veil on her face, her face was blurred, Ye Jin approached her curiously, and was just about to speak, when the white shadow turned around, the wind lifted her veil, and a sinuous scar horribly occupied her entire pale right cheek, extending from the eyebrow bone to the corner of the mouth, hideous and terrifying.

Ye Jin screamed in fright, a sharp shout pierced the silent night, and Bai Ying was obviously frightened as well, letting out a scream that was even more frightened than Ye Jin, covering his ears and running away.

Ye Jin stayed in the grass and watched as the guards held torches closer and closer, forming a circle.

The next day, the emperor set up a family banquet, announced that Yun Lie entered the palace to go to the banquet, the prince and the new concubine toasted, the wine was half drunk, the emperor's face was slightly drunk, he raised the wine glass, his eyes swept around, and fell on Ming Zisu, the smile deepened a little, and his eyes paused on him for a long time.

"The prince's marriage has been decided, I can't be partial, and King Qi's marriage should also be discussed."

The queen smiled faintly: "The emperor's love for his son, the concubines and the emperor are of one heart and one mind, and they have also paid attention to His Royal Highness Ten, but I don't know if the emperor has a favorite candidate in his heart?" ”

"Naturally, what I want is Yun Aiqing's family." The emperor's eyes swept towards Yun Lie.

"Yes, the concubine thinks the same way, and when the concubine asks today, His Royal Highness the Tenth is also full of praise for Yun Jing." The queen's eyes followed the emperor's eyes to her son, and smiled with satisfaction.

Yun Lie's eyes were secretive, and there was no joy or anger in his resolute expression, and he leaned on his body and arched his hand casually: "The emperor is wrong in love, the last general is afraid, Yun Jing is still a child, and the minister is willing to * her for another two years." ”

"It's not like the marriage is going to be consummated immediately, so it's okay to discuss it in advance." The emperor smiled and found a step for himself.

Yun Lie bowed his head and drank expressionlessly, without any intention of answering.

The emperor's hand raising the glass stiffened for a moment, and then his face turned to Yun Zhen who was sitting side by side with Ming Zisu as usual.

At this time, a eunuch walked in: "Your Majesty, Miss Yun Jing asks to see you." ”

The queen smiled gently: "It's really fate, just as she was talking, she came, please." ”

Yun Jing's figure walked in slowly, followed by a bloodstained woman behind her, Yun Zhen looked up as if she had been struck by lightning, the panic in her eyes flooded into a sea, and the hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist.

Ming Zisu's eyes that had been drooping slowly raised, watching her walk in against the morning light, the thin figure knelt down quietly, the early morning sunlight sprinkled all over her body, and the brilliance enveloped her, dazzling as if she was the one who glowed.

The emperor frowned: "Who is this, what did you bring into my family banquet?" ”

Ye Jin knelt on the ground, bowed down, and said unhurriedly: "Ye Jin, a woman, enter the palace to sue the emperor." ”

"Sue the royal court? Who are you going to sue? ”

Ye Jin raised his head and looked straight at the red figure with firm eyes: "The people want to sue His Royal Highness the current prince for abandoning his wife who is." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and even Yun Lie, who had been bowing his head and drinking without reacting, raised his head to look over, the woman's resolute face seemed to be a little familiar, and suddenly he recognized the long hair of the frosty hundred.

The queen's face couldn't hold back, and her gentle smile became a little stiff: "You mean the prince is responsible for you?" "Could this be the woman Yun Zhen was talking about?

Ye Jin raised his hands and raised them high: "The love token is here, the name of the prince is engraved on it, the marriage book is here, there is the prince's own handwriting, and the emperor knows it." ”

The emperor's majestic eyes fell on Ye Jin's hand, but he said to the prince: "Prince, do you recognize it?" ”

"Son's remarks." Ming Zisu had a smile in her eyes, she came.

"Okay, what did you just say your name was?" The emperor smiled with satisfaction and glanced at Yun Lie, who bowed his head and drank, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"Ye Jin."

The emperor did not hesitate to make an order: "Feng Ye is a side concubine and give Biluo Palace to live." ”

Yun Lie's expression did not change, but Yun Zhen couldn't hold her breath anymore, and suddenly got up: "I don't agree!" ”

"The women don't agree!" At the same time, Ye Jin also spoke out.

The emperor didn't pay attention to Yun Zhen, but asked Ye Jin with interest: "Why don't you agree?" ”

"The emperor, one of the women married the prince seven years ago, earlier than the Yun family, and the second woman gave birth to children for the prince, and her merit is greater than that of the Yun family, dare to ask the emperor, what should the identity of the people's women be?" If you want to be her, you must be a concubine.

Hearing this, not only Yun Zhen's face turned pale, but Yun Lie also raised his thick black eyebrows, his sharp eyes swept over, the emperor looked at the father and daughter with satisfaction, and threw the pot to his son with his backhand: "Prince, you say it yourself!" ”

Ming Zisu stood up, his long figure slowly walked down, knelt down beside Ye Jin, and said word by word: "Erchen thinks that he should welcome the Ye family back to the palace with the gift of the concubine." ”

Ye Jin's heartbeat paused, and then jumped wildly, she turned her head blankly, looking at Ming Zisu's gentle side face with a faint smile and lost her mind.

Until the banquet dispersed out of the hall, she was still immersed in a daze, the summer breeze was cool, the fragrance of flowers came with the wind, she followed the fragrance of flowers unconsciously walked to the imperial garden, the summer flowers in the garden are complex, in the midst of a hundred flowers, the cool breeze is blowing, and the whole person is a lot clearer.

Suddenly a clear flute sounded behind him.

Mingzi Su leaned on the bamboo, and when he saw her turn around, he stopped the flute, smiled gently, and his eyes fell on the blood stains on her body, and the long blood stains covered the entire clothes: "It hurts......"

"I'm fine." She blushed as she watched his smile in amazement, and it was really thrilling for people who didn't like to laugh to laugh.

Ming Zisu put away the flute and pinned it to her waist, straightened up and walked over, she looked at the figure slowly approaching her step by step, her heart suddenly rose full of grievances, her eyes were sour, she quickly retracted her gaze, lowered her head and turned around and walked away, she felt extremely uncomfortable, her heart was like being covered by a handful of wet cotton, stuffy and wet, she lowered her head, tears kept dripping on the ground, her steps were hurried and fast, and suddenly her arm was pulled and brought into her arms.

Ye Jin blinked, her blurred vision became clear, Ming Zisu's gradually gentle eyebrows and eyes made her grievances suddenly unable to hide, her tears fell even more fiercely, full of sourness but she couldn't say anything, she cried very seriously, as if she wanted to cry out the grievances she had been withholding.

He pressed the back of her head and buried her head in his arms, and his sleeve-length fingers ran down her gray hair for him: "You can think about it, but you can't leave when you come......"

"Why didn't you come......" she cried, thinking he wouldn't.

In the moonlight, he lowered his head and stared at the person in his arms, his face was blurred, only the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

After a long time, Ming Zisu's waist began to ache, and Ye Jin in his arms gradually lost his voice, and his body softened. He was stunned for a moment, a doting smile appeared on his face, and he sighed helplessly: "I'm asleep again......"

Ming Zisu stopped her waist and picked up Ye Jin, her small face leaned against his chest, the tears on her face had not dried, but she slept very quietly.

"I thought that staying away from you would protect you, but now I realize that giving you away is my biggest stupidity." It was he who was too stupid to think that letting Chu Mo marry her would make her safe.

Mingzi Su lowered his head and imprinted a shallow kiss on Ye Jin's eyebrows, and suddenly there was a not-so-low chuckle behind him, he was startled, the person in his arms almost took off his hand, Mingzi Su turned his head angrily, Chu Mo was behind him, and he smiled lightly.
