Chapter 49: The Cold War
Chapter 49
Yin Yufu has been hiding at the turn of the long street, watching the two people leave, watching the departure of the twilight, the light of the morning light piercing the sky, dispelling the coldness of the night.
I don't know how long she stood there, Yin Yufu only knew that her ankles were numb, and she didn't have much consciousness, and there were more people on the street, and those vendors began to prepare their stalls to welcome the new day.
After being blown by the wind all night, the expression on Yin Yufu's face had long been frozen, as if she couldn't smile anymore, endured the numbness in her ankles, collected all the sadness on her face, bypassed the oncoming vendors, and walked back in the direction of the princess's mansion.
The vendors on the road, pushing the things in their hands, looked curiously at Yin Yufu, who was walking alone in the morning light, and then hurriedly passed by, starting a new day.
The door of the princess's mansion opened early, and the maids who got up early had already been cleaned up, and the house was still in order, and everything was still the same.
"Princess?" Before entering the room, several maids at the door saw a familiar back and shouted suspiciously.
Yin Yufu's face was not very good-looking, probably because she had not slept all night, her face was slightly gloomy, she glanced back at the maids, nodded lightly, and didn't say anything.
The maids hurriedly saluted, lowered their heads, did not dare to continue to look at the princess, hurriedly took the things in their hands, and left in a hurry.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
When Meng Yanxiu heard that the princess was back, he put down the wooden sword in his hand and hurried back, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Yin Yufu in a daze in the direction of the window, not knowing what he was pondering.
Meng Xiu is still the same as before, asking these questions intimately, the same as before, without even the slightest change.
Yin Yufu's gaze swept over the horse, and then turned her gaze to the flowers outside that stretched their leaves to welcome the sun, and was silent for a while, her voice was slightly tired, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest." ”
"I've just come back, why don't you eat something to cushion your stomach first, and then go to bed later."
Meng Yanxiu instructed the imperial chef to serve it early, light porridge, and a few refreshing side dishes, the heat meandered upward, and it disappeared in the air for a while.
Yin Yufu shook her head, her eyes were tired, "Don't eat first, your head is a little heavy, let's sleep for a while and get up." ”
I didn't close my eyes all night, Yin Yufu didn't have much energy, and even talking exhausted the only strength she had left, and she didn't touch the breakfast on the table at all, she lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep deeply.
Meng Xiuxiu just felt a little strange, the princess's reaction today was a little cold, but combined with the princess's tired appearance, it was probably because she didn't have a good rest, Meng Xiuxiu thought comfortingly.
As soon as the person on the bed touched the pillow, he fell asleep, and the quilt on his body slipped down, and he didn't know it.
Meng Yanxiu sighed lightly, tiptoed over, picked up a corner of the quilt, tucked it gently, and dropped a kiss on Yin Yufu's forehead, and didn't forget to close the door when he left.
The sun tilting in the east slowly shifted to the middle, and the shadows of the things outside were shortened a lot, and Yin Yufu in the room was still quiet, estimated to be still asleep.
The lunch had been warmed many times, and the horse did not touch it at all, and had to wait until the princess woke up to eat, and several maids had sad faces, so they could only accept their fate with the plates, and gather at the door from time to time to listen to whether there was a movement of the princess waking up.
When the meal was warm for the third time, the door opened with a 'squeak', and Yin Yufu walked out sleepy, her hair was a little messy, and a few traces of green silk stuck to her face, but she didn't know it.
Meng Yanxiu stepped forward, still the same as before, walked over with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pull the hair off Yin Yufu's face.
Yin Yufu had a knot in her heart, and she reflexively turned her head, and Meng Yanxiu's hand fell into the air, and she was awkwardly suspended in mid-air.
"Come and eat when you wake up, the meal has just been warmed."
Meng Yanxiu's hand hung for a while, as if nothing happened, he stretched out his hand back, his face was still tolerant, and he pointed to the maid who was serving the plate and said.
The maids looked at each other on their faces, where is this just warm, this is obviously waiting at the door, so as to keep the food warm, a few maids who serve the food lowered their heads, and prepared to put the plates in the house.
After eating lunch this time, the silence on the table was never longer before, no matter what the horse said, Yin Yufu always had a faint expression, and sometimes pursed her lips and smiled a few times, and the alienation was inexplicably interspersed in the middle.
"I've finished eating, and now I'm going to go to Su Mansion to have a look."
The food on the table just moved a little, Yin Yufu wiped the vegetable juice from the corner of her mouth, and got up to go out.
Meng Xuexiu didn't know why, I didn't know why the princess's reaction was so cold, maybe she was annoyed by these things, she also put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, and advised: "Don't be tired of your body, don't take care of things yourself." ”
"Yes."
Yin Yufu's body, which was about to go out, stopped at the position of the threshold for a while, nodded, answered softly, and then left.
When the carriage bumped to Su Mansion, Mu Yan had just finished lunch and walked in the garden outside to enjoy the flowers.
"Princess?"
When Mu Yan saw the princess at this time, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, how did he know that the princess only came to escape from the horse temporarily, and the guess in his heart turned a few corners.
"I'm just looking for you to talk, and it's not a big deal."
Yin Yufu's mind was a little trance-like, her smile was a little reluctant, and she said to Mu Yan.
The maids around them had already left with interest, standing far away, leaving room for the two of them to talk.
Standing on the side of the rockery, chatting for a while before entering the topic, Yin Yufu's face was a little more solemn than before, "This time is going to arrange for you to enter the palace, so take advantage of your spare time to prepare well." ”
"Yes, I know."
Mu Yan didn't say a lot, the expression on his face was a lot colder, how could he waste the opportunity he had waited for after a lot of hard work, this time, together with what he lost, he would get it back.
"That's fine, I'm here to say it in advance, and save the end of the hurry."
When Yin Yufu saw Mu Yan's expression, she knew that she was completely prepared, no matter how much nonsense she didn't say, she basically finished explaining everything.
Several of the maids saw that when they had finished speaking, the princess was also about to leave, and hurriedly rushed over, and one of them, who walked slowly, fell behind the others, and looked particularly conspicuous.
Yin Yufu's eyes swept over, and she happened to see the slow rouge behind her, and her mind unconsciously flashed the dazzling scene of that night, and her long nails clenched into her palms.
"I wonder how you've been doing these days?"
Yin Yufu hid the complicated expression on her face, pretended to be caring, and asked about Rouge's injury.
"Back to the princess, the slave is much better."
Rouge didn't know why the princess was suddenly so enthusiastic about herself, suppressed the doubts in her heart, and replied respectfully.
"That's good, it's good to be in good health."
Yin Yufu said some words in the clouds, and even Mu Yan on the side didn't know the meaning of what Yin Yufu said.
"Well, the slave will thank the ......"
Before Rouge's words were finished, Yin Yufu left without looking back, looking up in shock, looking at the back of the princess leaving, a little overwhelmed.
After leaving Su Mansion, Yin Yufu's mind was always unconscious, and it was just right to enter the palace at this time, which didn't seem to be very deliberate, and it happened to attract Yin Chenglu's attention.
However, the problem also comes with these thoughts......
Mu Yan has already been advised, and other matters are almost ready, but the main problem now is how to successfully bring Mu Yan to the palace, Yin Yufu has a headache.
If it is through himself, the emperor will inevitably be suspicious, which will make things worse, but if he doesn't push it, he doesn't know what year he will remember to summon Mu Yan.
The carriage carrying Yin Yufu slowly rushed towards the direction of the palace, the wheels pressing deep and shallow ruts on the ground, and small ravines loomed.
"Princess, it's here." The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and the coachman shouted cautiously through the curtain, the palace that was dyed golden looked majestic and luxurious, but who knows how much sadness was buried, Yin Yufu sighed, lifted the skirt, and got out of the carriage.
As soon as Yin Yufu arrived at the palace, he went straight to the palace where Mo Yu lived, and maybe he would have a way to solve the matter of Mu Yan's entry into the palace.
"Huh?"
After Mo Yu listened to Yin Yufu's thoughts, his voice dragged on for a long time.
"This palace is saying that if it were you, sir, there would be a way." Afraid that Mo Yu didn't understand what he meant just now, Yin Yufu took the trouble to repeat what she had just said.
"The princess overestimated the grass people, the grass people are just a storyteller, how can they have that ability." With panic on his face, Mo Yu took a few steps back and waved his hand repeatedly.
"Isn't the gentleman talking to the queen mother these days, if the gentleman speaks......
Yin Yufu's words were not finished, but the meaning was already obvious, and she kept staring at Mo Yu, her eyes full of anticipation.
During this time, Empress Dowager Liu relied even more on Mo Yu, as a confidant, and even a year-old friend, and some things that she refused to say to outsiders were willing to say to Mo Yu one by one, even Yin Yufu, her biological daughter, was sometimes ignored.
If you rely on this relationship, not only will it not make Yin Chenglu suspicious, maybe there will be better consequences, and even an unexpected good boost, as long as Mo Yu agrees, then this matter will be much easier.
"Well, I'll talk about it."
Faced with such a question, Mo Yu hesitated for a moment, paused for a while, and said slowly.
