Quiet time is always fleeting, although the days in the small city are only two days, watching the flowers bloom and fall, watching the clouds roll up, and accompanying the people you like, this may be the most comfortable time in Ye Hanyue's life.

"Yue'er, you've already entered the city." Huangfu Xiu opened the carriage curtain and looked, "You go back to the house first, and I'll come back when I go to the West Gate to do some business." ”

"You're going to Simon? What's the matter? Although Ye Hanyue couldn't see anything unusual about Huangfu Xiu's face, she always felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, and unconsciously grabbed Huangfu Xiu's hand.

Huangfu Xiu felt Ye Hanyue's nervousness, pursed his lips, and put his other hand on Ye Hanyue's hand and stroked it gently, which was considered comforting.

"It's not an important thing, my father's friend has come to the capital, talk to me." Huangfu Xiu said slowly, his face was a little more moist than usual.

"That's ......" Ye Hanyue bit her lip slightly and thought for a moment, her eyes raised lightly at Huangfu Xiu, "The situation is chaotic, you should be careful." ”

"Don't worry!" Huangfu Xiu patted Ye Hanyue's hand, got up and got out of the carriage.

Ye Hanyue was reluctant in her heart, and hurriedly opened the curtain and chased Huang Fu Xiu's back, for some reason the uneasiness in her heart seemed to be a little more, Ye Hanyue wanted to stop Huang Fu Xiu, raised her eyes and looked again, but she was gone.

"Let's go, go home." Ye Hanyue whispered to the coachman, tilting her head and leaning against the frame of the car.

Huangfu Xiu stood in the corner of the alley, watching Ye Hanyue's carriage gradually move away, and the breath in his heart slowly let go, this reunion is still to parting after all.

The knuckles tightened inch by inch, as if to insert the nails into the flesh, and Huangfu Xiu looked in a daze at the direction in which the carriage had left, which had been filled by the bustling crowd at this time.

These people may be happy or depressed, but none of them have the helplessness and forbearance of parting.

Huangfu Xiu turned around slowly and walked towards the palace city that represented power but had a turbulent undercurrent, with a resolute and determined pace without the slightest hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the little prince asks to see you." The little eunuch's shrill voice entered the huge Heart Cultivation Hall, as if an echo could be heard in the next second.

"Huangfu Xiu?" Huangfu Hongxuan, who was sitting opposite the emperor, sat up reflexively, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "He still comes." ”

Like a prey in a trap, Huangfu Hongxuan's eyes flashed with endless pride and joy, this time, he would never let him escape.

"Call him in." The emperor was not as excited as the crown prince, he still leaned on the soft collapse, he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids, his eyes were still staring at the chessboard, "Hongxuan, it's your turn." ”

Huangfu Hongxuan came back to his senses and continued to play chess, but his mind was no longer on the chessboard, and his eyes were also slanted outside the hall.

"You are in such a hurry...... the emperor picked up a black piece and threw it on the white jade chessboard, "You can't catch the prey, be patient." ”

Huangfu Hongxuan was about to talk, but when he heard footsteps, he was secretly happy in his heart, so he naturally didn't care about playing chess, and hurriedly stood up on the table, and sure enough, Huangfu Xiu walked in from the palace door.

Ye Hanyue returned to the mansion, there were no three princes and Huangfu Xiu in this mansion, and she felt empty at this time, thinking of this, Ye Hanyue felt a little more worried in her heart

It is estimated that the hour is also approaching noon, Ye Hanyue is ready to boil some soup for Huangfu Xiu, although he has been playing outside for the past few days, he really hasn't eaten anything.

"Xiao Yao, bring some white fungus and lotus seeds." Ye Hanyue called the maid in the kitchen, "Take some red dates and wolfberries too, this soup will taste strong with some red dates." ”

"Girl, this is going to make soup for the little prince." Xiao Yao carried the bamboo basket into the kitchen, "If you talk about this white fungus lotus seed soup, the third prince really loves to drink it." ”

"Really?" Ye Hanyue didn't understand the taste of the third prince, if this was the case, wouldn't Huangfu Xiu increase his sorrow when he drank the soup?

"It's not, the girl doesn't know, Xiao Yao has been a maid in this house since she was a child, and everyone's tastes are remembered clearly." Xiao Yao said as she cleaned the white fungus, but she didn't notice Ye Hanyue's expression.

"Xiao Yao, you go to those bird's nests." Ye Hanyue said softly: "The little prince was reading bird's nest porridge a few days ago. ”

Xiao Yao was stunned, looked at Ye Hanyue, and already understood a little in her heart, so she turned around and went out.

Looking at Xiao Yao's back, Ye Hanyue suddenly felt uneasy in her heart for some reason, which made her panic. Slowly walked to the table, wanting to pour a cup of tea and drink it a little more slowly.

The teacup that was picked up suddenly split in half, and the hot tea was sprinkled on Ye Hanyue's hand, Ye Hanyue's conditioned reflex immediately threw the teacup out, and it happened to fall at the feet of Xiao Yao, who had entered the door.

"Girl!" Xiao Yao saw Ye Hanyue holding her right hand with a painful face, so she hurriedly ran over, "What's wrong with the girl?" Is it hot? ”

"If it's hot, you have to wash it with cold water." Xiao Yao said and turned around and fetched a basin of water, "Come over and wash it." ”

Ye Hanyue walked over and put her right hand into the basin, and the burning sensation eased a lot in an instant, "This tea set should also be changed, it actually cracked alive." ”

"Cracked?" Xiao Yaoliu frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "This tea set was only added last month, how could it crack for no reason?" ”

Huangfu Xiu! Split?

Ye Hanyue's mind flashed the face of Huangfu Xiu, could it be? He's going to Simon? But that's clearly the direction to the palace!

He wants to take the blame for the third prince? Right! That's what it says in the original book!

Ye Hanyue didn't dare to think about it, turned around and rushed out of the door, she wanted to save this matter, things must not develop like this, this fool.

"Do you want to take the blame for the third prince? A life for a life? ”

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Huangfu Hongxuan's shocked and puzzled voice came down from the main hall, and went straight into Huangfu Xiu's ears, and Huangfu Xiu, who was kneeling in front of the palace, looked calm and determined, and the perseverance in his eyes was like an eagle standing on the top of a mountain.

"The minister is guilty of his father, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to stop him?" Huangfu Xiu squinted slightly and looked at Huangfu Hongxuan, and his face was clearly full of pride.

"Your father committed a capital crime, I remember that you are still young, and you have made meritorious contributions to guarding the West Mountain, so you do not implicate your father's sins, but now you insist on avenging your father's crimes, what? Do you think I did a wrong job by giving your father the death penalty? ”

The emperor played with the white jade chess pieces, the words came out slowly but with their own majesty, there was no trace of emotion on his face, and the gray sideburns hung down from his ears, reflecting the deep wrinkles, especially the old age.

"Your Majesty naturally did nothing wrong." Huangfu Xiu's words were respectful and affirmative, but the ridicule in his eyes could not be hidden, "As a son of man, how can he watch his father being pushed to the guillotine, since his father has been convicted, the minister has no other way but to make this decision, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it." ”

After speaking, Huangfu Xiu bowed down and saluted, the emperor rubbed the chess pieces in his hand, thinking, and there was a trace of hesitation on his ravine-horizontal face.

The crown prince naturally wanted Huangquan to die in Huangquan, but seeing the emperor's expression, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in the emperor's ear.

"Father, Huangfu Xiu intends to take the blame for the third prince, why don't we fulfill him, the third prince is in the frontier all the year round, and he knows very little about the situation in the capital, without Huangfu Xiu's mention and help, the third prince will naturally not be able to become a big thing."

The emperor pondered Huangfu Hongxuan's words, and felt that it was not unreasonable, so he said to Huangfu Xiu under the main hall: "Since you have this filial piety, I will fulfill you." He waved his hand and motioned to the prince, "The prince will take him to the prison and let him exchange it for father and son." ”

"The retainers obey." The prince bowed and saluted, his voice full of pride, and walked briskly down the hall.

Huangfu Xiu knelt down again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission." ”

Huangfu Xiu was escorted by the forbidden army, followed behind the crown prince, and went straight to the direction of the heavenly prison. When passing by Jinghe Palace, Huangfu Xiu caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance, it was Ye Hanyue!

Ye Hanyue hurriedly entered the palace, she wanted to stop the emperor from repairing, and on the way she used silver to buy the palace maid of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and learned that the emperor was kneeling on the main hall and begging the emperor, Ye Hanyue sighed secretly, it was too late to stop it.

At this time, there may be only one person who can solve the current situation, that is, the Queen Mother, Ye Hanyue thought of this, she was a little happy, and hurriedly went to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Huang Fu Xiu stared at Ye Hanyue's figure in the distance, he could feel her rapid pace, anxious thoughts, suffering her, Huang Fu Xiu sighed secretly in his heart, and stumbled under his feet and almost fell down the stone steps.

Huangfu Hongxuan turned around and looked at it, and smiled contemptuously: "What? Is the little prince afraid? ”

"Hmph......" Huangfu Xiu snorted coldly and stopped talking, he didn't want to say more to the prince at this time.

The prince felt bored, turned around and continued walking.

Ye Hanyue went down the verandah, and then went up the stone steps, and happened to see the prince and his party coming from not far away, Ye Hanyue didn't want to entangle with the prince at this time, so she lowered her body and hid behind the carved railing.

"Huangfu Xiu, I never thought that you would have today, but you brought it all on yourself." The crown prince's voice was getting closer and closer, and Ye Hanyue saw Huangfu Xiu's figure through the gap in the railing.

Escorted by two tall forbidden soldiers, he was usually such an arrogant and cold person, but at this time, there was a trace of desolation in his back, Ye Hanyue's throat tightened for a while, and his nose instantly became sour.

Huangfu Xiu's figure gradually moved away, and Ye Hanyue slowly retracted her gaze, stood up, and walked towards the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Outside Cining Palace, the grandmother in a crimson palace robe pursed her lips and looked at Ye Hanyue, "Why did you come to Cining Palace?" Can there be a call from the Queen Mother? ”

Ye Hanyue leaned over and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Mama, I am the boss of Linglong Residence, although I can't be summoned by the Queen Mother, but today I need to meet her old man in an urgent matter, and I also ask Mama to make it convenient." ”

"Since there is no Queen Mother, how did you enter the palace?" Mama frowned, squinted her eyes slightly, and her expression became vigilant, "You won't make it clear today, but you will eat prison food." ”

Ye Hanyue was helpless, so she had to take out a pure gold token from her waist.
