Yunluan received news that King Yu and Gu Qingyan were coming over, so Gu Ning and they went to Dongting Yunluan and didn't follow. After waiting in the house for a while, the maid in front of the door came to report: "Madam, King Yu and the four girls have arrived." ”

"Let them in."

After a while, King Yu and Gu Qingyan came in one after the other: "My nephew has seen my aunt and greeted my aunt." ”

"This is in Peach Blossom Stream, no need to be polite." Yun Luan stepped forward to help King Yu and motioned for him to sit down.

"Auntie is in good health?" Yuwang asked.

Yun Luan smiled lovingly, she hadn't seen this child for several years, this child looked much better than when she was a teenager, and her wisdom was not inferior to her brother Wang.

"Okay." Yun Luan replied, "How are you children?" ”

Yuwang nodded: "It's all right now." ”

In any case, the fact that the brothers who are together are still united and free from suspicion of each other is perhaps the most precious and rare thing.

Yun Luan looked at him, and thousands of thoughts also came to his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Gu Qingyan looked at such a scene, and also felt as if there was something wrong with saying anything.

King Yu has something to say to Yun Luan, but Gu Qingyan is here, he can't speak for a while, and he just called Gu Qingyan to come with him mainly because he was afraid that it would not be appropriate for him to visit alone.

Yun Luan saw it and called Gu Qingyan: "Girl, your father and they have been going to the Winter Garden for a while, and they want to come to the hand stove to be cold, you take the hand cage and send it off." ”

Gu Qingyan said hello, took the hand cage and went out, she knew that they should have something to say, maybe it was related to her, maybe they wanted to miss the past, Gu Qingyan didn't want to participate, and it was not easy to participate, so the obedient went out to the winter court.

When it came to the Winter Garden, Gu Qingyan really admired these elders, they really had them playing on the ice. There is a small lake in the winter garden, which is frozen in winter, and it is frozen very solidly, they used to love skating here, including her three brothers, she doesn't like to move, and after a few falls, she is far away from here.

Seeing them having a good time, Gu Qingyan didn't bother, just sat on the side, helped them make hot tea, and watched them have fun. After about a quarter of an hour, several people finally got off the ice.

"It's good to have hot tea so soon." Gu Ning said with a smile.

Gu Qingyan poured three cups of tea and served them to them, and handed over the hand cage: "Mother was afraid that my father and master's hand stove would be cold, so I specially asked me to send the hand cage over." ”

Gu Ning and the three of them took the cage, and Qianhuayu said, "I heard that King Yu and Han Yan have arrived. ”

"Yes, King Yu is chatting with his mother right now."

"And what are you doing here?" Xing Ming asked.

Gu Qingyan said while pouring tea: "Their aunts and nephews reminisce about the old days, and I can't intervene in those old things, so I can only listen stupidly there, and I have to be disgusted, so I have to come out." ”

Gu Qingyan joked that he never distinguished the object, and this ridicule of his words was smooth, which also made several elders laugh. Gu Ning shook his head helplessly, sometimes he didn't know who Gu Qingyan's temperament followed.

Here is drinking tea leisurely in the winter garden, and there is another atmosphere when Yuwang and Yun Luan talk about what Gu Qingyan talked about with him.

Yun Luan frowned and was silent, King Yu didn't speak, the air seemed a little dignified, and after a while, I heard Yun Luan say: "Once I brought Yan'er out because I didn't want her to face the same choice as me one day." ”

"Auntie." There was a little guilt in Yuwang's voice, in fact, they naturally could not find Gu Qingyan to do this, but finding Gu Qingyan was the most effective and fastest way for them.

Yun Luan raised his hand and interrupted King Yu's words: "I understand, 'the most ruthless emperor family' Although this is what I say, it's just that you and I have hearts that are flesh and blood. ”

"Auntie, if we only look at Yan'er's conditions from the perspective of interests, we will definitely agree, and we won't have any concerns, but... Yan'er is your daughter, our sister, you took care of us so much when we were young, so..."Yuwang didn't know how to say or express it, so as to hide the tangled emotions in his heart.

Yun Luan got up, came to King Yu, looked at the child in front of him, and said, "Tell me truthfully, if you don't come to ask me, or don't ask the answer you want, what is the final conclusion you gave?" ”

"Promise the smoke." In fact, there has always been only one result in this matter, and they have been delaying to say it because this result is ultimately related to Gu Qingyan's life and death. Although they can't completely control Gu Qingyan's subjectivity, they can influence it objectively.

To put it simply, the final result they want is to extinguish, Emperor Qinrui died in order to quell the chaos, if Gu Qingyan really wants to die, then no one can save Gu Qingyan. If the ending is that the four girls of Peach Blossom Stream live, then even if Gu Qingyan finishes herself, they will save this life. It's all just a thought.

Yun Luan was silent again, she believed that her daughter was doing this with the idea of completely sacrificing herself, she wanted to sacrifice herself to fulfill both sides, but maybe there would be a better way, but she didn't think of it, or neither side gave her a way out.

"Promise the smoke." Yun Luan's words were exactly the same as those of King Yu, but he added in the second half of the sentence, "No matter life or death." What she said was not about life and death, the court only had to let go of the vigilance hidden from Peach Blossom Stream, Gu Qingyan only needed to remove her identity as Emperor Qinrui, she was still the fourth girl of Peach Blossom Stream.

After saying that, Yun Luan returned to the back room, took out a locked box from the cabinet, took the key and opened the box in front of King Yu. Yuwang looked at it, and there was a token lying inside, with a few big words on it: Heavenly Order!

The Heavenly Machine Order, which was said to have disappeared in that fire, reappeared, King Yu looked at Yun Luan in disbelief, Yun Luan said: "Back then, the Heavenly Machine Order I had already brought into the palace with me, and what was burned was just an empty shell, and those people didn't find what they wanted, so they released the word that the Heavenly Machine Order disappeared but must still be in the world." ”

Stopping talking, Yun Luan looked at King Yu: "I think, the reason why you are difficult to make a decision is because you are afraid that the heavenly order will be in the hands of Peach Blossom Stream." ”

Yun Luan took out the Heavenly Order and put it on the table: "But you guessed right, the Heavenly Order is still with me, but even Gu Ning and Yan'er don't know about this matter." Back then, I had already returned the Heavenly Decree to the First Emperor, but on the day I left the palace, the First Emperor gave me the Heavenly Decree again, and only said that I should leave a memorial, and one day the token of the world is yours will be invalid. ”

Yuwang knew about this for the first time, and no one had ever mentioned it: "Why hasn't anyone said it?" ”

"We all thought that when the Heavenly Order disappeared, this matter was over. If it weren't for the fact that you mentioned the worries in your heart, I would have thought of this. ”

"Didn't my aunt lie to me?"

Yun Luan smiled: "Is there still the emperor's father-in-law in the palace?" ”

"Gonggong Kang is still here." The Duke Kang mentioned by King Yu was originally the father-in-law of the first emperor, and after the death of the first emperor, he invited himself to be a guardian.

"Then you can go and ask him." Yun Luan smiled, fortunately, there are still people who can testify to it, otherwise today, it would not have been effective. After speaking, he put the Heavenly Machine Order in the hands of King Yu, "Whether there is a result or not, you are afraid, and I will return this thing." He shook Yuwang's hand tightly and returned to his seat.

King Yu looked at the Heavenly Order in his hand, stood up and saluted: "Thank you, auntie." ”

Yun Luan said: "Don't thank me, Yan'er is my only child, and there are many things that have happened to me with the title of Emperor Ji." Perhaps it is because of this heavy identity that she feels that her responsibility is heavier than anyone else. This stupid child, after all, overestimates himself, I often say to Shaolin and them, no matter what Yan'er is, just try your best to protect her. Now I have only one word of advice to you..."

In the first few sentences, Yun Luan seemed to be talking to herself, her empty eyes made it impossible to see her emotions, and in the last sentence she looked at King Yu, which was what she most hoped they would promise her, King Yu didn't interject, and listened to her quietly: "No matter what Emperor Qinrui is, Gu Qingyan is Gu Qingyan after all, and she is the fourth girl of Peach Blossom Stream." ”

The last sentence, Yun Luan said resolutely, King Yu understood, and said, "Nephew remembers." ”

This conversation ended like this, King Yu also knew how to give Gu Qingyan the final answer, he went back to Rongyuan, the secret guard who had been put on leave also came back, and King Yu handed him a letter: "Send it back to the palace." ”

"Yes." The dark guard left, and King Yu sat on the chair, looking at the piece of heavenly order on the table, and fell into deep thought. In his letter, he had already told the current emperor about the Heavenly Order, and I believe that he would send someone to verify it, if the Heavenly Order is really useless from now on, then the Peach Blossom Stream will really only have a friendship relationship left for them, and suddenly his heart seems to be empty.

Gu Qingyan didn't know that the atmosphere here was so depressing, and he and Gu Ning chatted happily: "I really listened to the summary of each boss this time." ”

This is indeed not an easy thing for Gu Qingyan, and Qianhuayu patted Gu Qingyan's head to express praise.

Gu Qingyan was interested, but talked about his feelings: "It seems that the eldest brother's business has not been combined with officialdom for a long time. "The official business generally includes weapons, mines, salt, and some of the offerings such as tea, silk brocade, and jewelry.

Gu Qingyan also reacted after listening to it well this time, it turned out that she was not the only one who was working hard, Xu Shaolin had slowly avoided the business related to the court a few years ago, and the Yuhualou brought by Baili Mo in the past two years has gradually begun to avoid, and almost all the news that wants to be related to the court has been blocked back by Baili Mo, and those who can't be stopped can either let Gu Qingyan go, or go by himself, and no longer pass the hands of the people below.

"So, I said why did the third brother suddenly get busy this year." When Gu Qingyan said this, he also sighed, and suddenly found that he was really a little too insensitive.

As for Zong Yue, after all, the family can't avoid the court, Gu Qingyan muttered when he said this: "I have to warn King Yu, you can't use those ladies to beat my second brother." ”

Hearing Gu Qingyan say this, Qian Huayu and Xing Ming glanced at each other, and said solemnly to Gu Qingyan: "Don't worry, it will take some time for your second brother to find your second sister-in-law!" ”

"That's, after all, the second brother doesn't even have a woman by his side, eh..."Gu Qingyan didn't know what had happened before, so he took such a sentence, which caused the three adults not to hold back, and laughed out loud, Gu Qingyan wondered.

As for herself, Gu Qingyan has nothing to say, she knows the calculation in her heart best. Just chatting with each other, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Gu Qingyan followed a few elders out of the winter court, went back to the courtyard to call Shangyunluan, and went to the main hall together.

Seeing that King Yu was there, Gu Qingyan thought that he would go back first after finishing speaking, so he didn't ask much, but seeing that Yunluan's face was not very good, he asked with concern: "Mother, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Yun Luan patted Gu Qingyan and held her hand and said, "It's okay, it seems that the room has been stuffy for a long time in the afternoon." ”

"Let the second brother show you in a while." Gu Qing flute.

Yun Luan nodded, took Gu Qingyan and went to the front hall. When they arrived, everyone else had already arrived, after all, they were elders, and the juniors present all stood up and saluted. When everyone was seated, they served the food, poured wine, and raised their glasses to drink.

As soon as the wine entered the throat, everyone sat down, and Gu Qingyan said: "I have taken out my wine in the past few days, and it is almost gone." ”

Originally, I didn't brew a few jars, but in the past few days, one jar or two jars were taken out, she was distressed when she drank it, Xu Shaolin comforted her: "I took a cup today, only one cup per person, and it was gone early, and the rest was the original wine cellar." ”

Gu Qingyan pouted, let them go. It's just that today's meal is half-true and half-false, after all, the people at the table have all kinds of distributions, and they can't speak openly, so in the end, Gu Qingyan was tired of eating.

Although she didn't escape halfway, she gradually smirked on her face, and tilted her head helplessly at the eyes that Shang Hanyan delivered, and her little expression was a little like she was coquettish, but in an instant, she saw Su Tanxue looking at her, and she immediately recovered.

Han Yan, who received Gu Qingyan's expression, had no choice but to hold the wine glass and hide his thoughts in the wine for the time being.

Gu Qingyan suddenly remembered Su Tanxue's stubble, looked at King Yu, and suddenly felt that it was better to talk to King Yu, but the timing was not right today, it was better to talk about it another day, anyway, things were not in a hurry.
