Imperial Palace.

After Yu Qing returned home in the evening, he went directly back to the villa arranged by Yu Changqing.

The night breeze was cool, and under the dim candlelight in the house, the woman sat in front of the window, quietly embroidering a black robe. The collar and cuffs are an inch-wide dark red border, with silver filigree outlining a delicate moire pattern. At the hem of the robe, the flame pattern spreads from bottom to top, and the cracked fine 'points of light' carry the meaning of slaughter, which shows that she has done her embroidery.

Yuqing's eldest maid Yu Lan folded her hands in front of her lower abdomen, stood beside her and said with a smile, "Miss, you have embroidered this robe for three months, and when you see the emperor after entering the palace, he will definitely like it very much." ”

Yu Qingwan rubbed the brocade fabric in his hand with his fingertips, shook his head and chuckled.

Suddenly, there was a sound of 'squirping' outside the window......

"Who?!"

She tiptoed to the carved wooden window, opened a gap and looked at it, only to see a wild cat scurrying by.

She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said, "Miss, it turns out that a wild cat has entered our house, and I drove Ming'er and a slave to talk to the eldest prince." ”

The next moment, her pupils dilated, and she was so frightened that she lost her face, and the imperial secretary was gone!

The candles flickered on the table, and the robe that her young lady regarded as a treasure was thrown to the ground.

"Miss?! Miss, where are you?! ”

She trotted to the door and slammed the door open, only to see the guards in the courtyard fall to the ground.

Her legs trembled and she ran out, "Someone! Come on! Miss is gone! ”

The people of the imperial palace were awakened in an instant, and hurriedly got up and dressed and ran out, lanterns were lit everywhere, and they looked for Yuqing Wan everywhere under the leadership of the housekeeper.

......

In an abandoned courtyard of the Yu family, Yu Qing was brought here by someone covering her mouth, and although she struggled hard along the way, the other party had a lot of strength and couldn't break free at all. His back pressed against his broad chest, his warm breath falling on top of her head, his heartbeat audible audible.

"Uh-huh! Who are you! Let me go! ”

Yu Qingwan's voice was slurred, and after the other party landed with her, she quickly let go of her hand.

She gasped for breath in embarrassment, and the elegant image of the deep daughter disappeared without a trace.

"Late, late."

The low call was familiar, she had heard it even two hours before.

Yu Qingwan turned around stiffly, "World... The Son? It's you! Why did you break into the palace late at night? ”

"To see you."

Facing the strong and fiery affection in Yu Ziye's eyes, Yu Qing's breath trembled a little at night, and he hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

"Lord Shizi, you have Lingyun's ambition, I have a bright future, eight years ago, the courtiers said to the prince, we are not all the way."

"If you are willing, even if you disobey my father and mother, or even go against the entire royal family, I will marry you home and be my princess!"

Yu Ziye raised his hand to hold her wrist and stared at her with burning eyes.

"I'm sorry, the courtiers don't want to, what the courtiers want is monstrous power!"

An understatement is like a stab in the heart for Yu Ziye.

Yu Qing opened his hand at night, and his eyes were shining in the past, like the first snow fluttering in the cold winter, silently, and after the snow fell, it was cold and biting.

"I will use the whole world to prove to you that I Yu Ziye will not lose to anyone!"

Those who are emotional first will inevitably be amorous to themselves.

He turned around in solitude, his eyelashes fluttering, and took a deep breath, holding back tears from sliding down his face. He was so stubborn, how could he show her the sad side after being injured.

"Wait!"

His mood rose and fell with Yu Qingwan's words, and his originally cool heart shook again, and he turned back with joy, only to see that she had taken out the Lethe jade he had given her eight years earlier.

The dark red lotus-shaped jade is as clear as ever, but between them ...... I'm afraid there has always been only his wishful thinking between them.

"Lord Shizi, this is back to you."

"Huh! The things sent out by this son have never been taken back, so let's keep them as memorials. Late night, take care. ”

The happy smile on his face instantly became bitter, and he turned to leave, and his steps no longer stopped for a minute.

The lotus jade stone lay quietly in the white palm of Yuqing's late white hand, and the silver-gray ice silk tassels hanging below flew with the night wind. Looking at his back slowly moving away, Yu Qing put away the 'Lethe' in the evening, and gathered the cloak on his shoulders, but when he looked up, there were still tears on his face.

Outside the courtyard, the call of the family and the maids was heard, and she walked out without hurry, and the desolate courtyard returned to a dead silence.

......

"Ziye."

As soon as Yu Ziye climbed over the wall and walked out of the palace, he heard the call in front of him.

Under the cold and silvery moonlight, Su Zhen held a slender wooden box in her arms, tilted her head slightly at him, and smiled lightly.

"Aning? How did you end up here? ”

"Come with me."

"I don't want to enjoy the moon and stargazing tonight, and I don't want to drink peach blossom stuff."

"The prince of Lin'an Hou Mansion is not drunk with a thousand cups, how can I get you drunk?"

"And what do you want to do?"

"The peach blossoms in the mountain behind Taifu's Mansion are blooming, let's go, I'll grill whitebait for you to eat."

Yu Ziye nodded, Su Zhen looked at her absent-mindedness, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and flew in the direction of the mountain behind Taifu's mansion.

The two came to the creek where they met at the beginning of the year, Yu Ziye sat on a relatively flat and clean stone, quietly watched her find dry firewood to set it up, and then pulled up her trouser legs and jumped into the stream to catch fish.

Su Zhen moved quickly, and threw a lot of silverfish up after dividing five by two, Yu Ziye looked down at those fish fluttering at his feet, and his originally dim eyes lit up.

Even if they still have the will to survive, how can he collapse?

"This son is in a bad mood tonight, so he won't kill, and you guys should go home quickly."

Su Zhen watched the fish she had worked so hard to catch thrown back into the water by Yu Ziye, and quickly fled from her, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

"Big brother! You ate a lot at the palace banquet, but I followed Yu Changqing in the palace all night, and I was about to starve to death! ”

Yu Ziye glanced at her and took out a palm-sized brown paper bag from his sleeve.

"What is this?"

"I knew you would be hungry, so I brought a few pieces with me when I left the palace."

After Su Zhen opened it, there were seven or eight pieces of lotus root powder osmanthus cake inside, but some of them were broken, but most of them were still intact. The lotus root fragrance is fragrant and crystal clear. She wiped the water stains on her hands with Yu Ziye's clothes, sat next to him and picked up a piece and ate it.

Yu Ziye suddenly beat a drum in his abdomen, lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, and handed him a piece with a white hand.

Yu Ziye took it and stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it into his stomach.

Su Zhen didn't notice that his movements were a little stiff, and she was chewing slowly.

Yu Ziye blinked, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”

"If she had promised to give up the draft, you wouldn't have come here with me."
