"No news yet?" The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at her grandmother, looking a little anxious, "It's time, it's time to come back, why haven't you seen it?" ”

Mama pounded her shoulders for the Queen Mother, and there were rules and regulations together, "It's late at night, I think Your Majesty should rest, the Queen Mother might as well rest earlier, there may be news tomorrow morning." ”

"It's okay to mourn this old bone." The Queen Mother moved her body slightly, lying more comfortably, "It's Xiu'er, it was cold and wet in the prison that day, where can I sleep peacefully at night." ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother, you will send the jade pendant of the first emperor to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely take care of the face of the first emperor, and will not embarrass the little prince." Mama spoke softly and comforted.

"I hope the emperor still has the old bone of the mourning family in his eyes." The Queen Mother squinted, she was a little tired today.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and the queen mother squinted her eyes and opened them instantly, and sat up with her grandmother's arms.

The palace maid sent to the Palace of Heart Cultivation entered the palace gate, knelt on the ground, and presented a blood-red jade pendant with both hands, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty ......"

"What did the emperor say?" The Queen Mother looked at the palace maid kneeling under Her Royal Highness and asked eagerly.

The palace maid paused, and replied with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty said...... The crimes committed by the three princes are related to the safety of the country, even if the first emperor is still there, he will ...... will also sentence the third prince to death, His Majesty let the Queen Mother ...... You are in your old age, and he will handle the affairs of the court and the central government carefully. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her original eager expression gradually calmed down, her eyes were stunned, and she said slowly after a while: "I'm old, I'm ......old, I'm old."

Mama has been serving by the Queen Mother's side for half her life, and naturally understands the Queen Mother's temperament, so she waved her hand at this time and let the palace maid kneeling in front of the palace retreat.

Ye Hanyue couldn't wait for the news of the Queen Mother in the house for several days, she was anxious and sad all day long, she couldn't swallow food, and she couldn't sleep.

"Girl, the slave and maid will accompany you." The maid Xiaoli caught up with Ye Hanyue, and in the past few days, people have seen Ye Hanyue's emotions, but they don't know how to open their mouths to comfort.

Ye Hanyue shook her head slightly, pursed her lips and smiled reluctantly: "No need, I'll just go shopping, don't worry, you can be busy." ”

Xiao Li was about to say something, but saw that Ye Hanyue had already turned around and walked out.

Ye Hanyue wandered aimlessly, and before she knew it, it was evening, taking advantage of the gorgeous colorful glow on the horizon to walk back.

"Girl?"

An old voice came from Ye Hanyue's ears, raised her eyes to inspect, and an old man in plain clothes stood not far away, slowly walking towards him.

Yao Lao? He...... There's another garden in front of you, how did you come here? Ye Hanyue was puzzled.

"Is the girl coming back?" Yao Lao stood in front of Ye Hanyue and asked in a gentle tone.

Listening to Yao Lao's familiar voice, a sadness rose in Ye Hanyue's heart, and her throat instantly tightened, "Yes, I'll come back to live." ”

Ye Hanyue nodded slightly, after a day of shopping, she was a little tired, and the huge mansion did not have the slightest fireworks, although this courtyard was small, it was much more comfortable.

Following Yao Lao into the courtyard, the fresh and elegant fragrance of flowers came to his face, this flower was specially planted by Huang Fuxiu to let Yao Lao, and now the flowers are still blooming, but people have become prisoners.

Ye Hanyue's eyes moistened, the sadness in her heart flowed back, in order not to lose her temper in front of Yao Lao, Ye Hanyue hurried back to the room.

Although it was late at night, Hou Haoyan's room was still lit with candles, and he was waiting for the person who had gone out to inquire about the news to come back, and the pot of tea on the table was about to be drunk, and the hidden carvings were pushed by a man in black.

"How?" Hou Haoyan stared at the man in black, the teacup in his hand was pinched tightly, "What's the news?" ”

The man in black leaned over and saluted, and replied, "As the young master heard, the little prince was indeed imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and there were many secret guards in ambush near the heavenly prison, and ordinary people could not enter the heavenly prison at all. ”

"This is natural, it seems that this time the little prince is more than lucky." Hou Haoyan rubbed the teacup in his hand, frowned, thought about something, and waved his hand to the man in black for a while: "Okay, you go down." ”

"Huangfu Xiu is in prison, she should be very sad." Hou Haoyan's eyes stared at the fluttering candle flame on the table, muttering, and there was a hint of joy under the worry that appeared in his eyes.

Maybe this is an opportunity, Hou Haoyan thought in his heart, he must go to see her tomorrow.

After drinking the last cup of tea and blowing out the candles, Hou Haoyan fell asleep with the expectation of tomorrow.

Yao Lao closed the courtyard door, and when he passed through the corridor, Ye Hanyue's room was still burning with a dim candle flame, going back and forth in front of the door several times, Yao Lao finally did not knock on the carved wooden door, and the consolation at this time may be even more uncomfortable.

He also heard about the little prince, and he saw Ye Hanyue from a distance in the alley tonight, and her whole person was shrouded in trance and worry, and there was no trace of the freshness of the past.

This is the normal state of life, but the more you care, the more you fall into it, he has lived for most of his life, many things have long been downplayed, but the little prince is pure and good, filial piety and gentleness, he should not end up like this.

Yao Lao walked slowly, walked through the long verandah, and the lanterns on the eaves seemed to be old, swaying leisurely, and the night was deeper, and the wind was tighter.

Ye Hanyue had no sleep all night, got up early to finish dressing up, moved a chair to sit in the yard, blowing the cool breeze in the morning, the wind was mixed with the quiet fragrance of flowers, refreshing people's hearts, Ye Hanyue closed her eyes and quietly enjoyed this moment of calmness and peace of mind.

"Girl, there is a son outside the door who asks to see you." Yao Lao didn't want to disturb Ye Hanyue, but Hou Haoyan was dressed extravagantly, maybe it was for the little prince.

Ye Hanyue opened her eyes and glanced out the door, "Childe? What is the last name? ”

Since the third prince and the little prince were imprisoned in the prison one after another, the dignitaries and nobles in the capital have avoided them, and now which prince is willing to come to the door?

Isn't it Huangfu Hongxuan? Ye Hanyue was frightened, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard in person, but saw Hou Haoyan wearing a stone green robe, noble and elegant, standing in front of the door.

"You ......" Ye Hanyue was a little stunned, and only pursed her lips and chuckled for a while, "Why are you here?" ”

"How?" Hou Haoyan smiled and said gently: "Scared you?" ”

Ye Hanyue shook her head slightly, stepped back, and let Hou Haoyan enter the courtyard, "Is there something wrong with coming here so early?" ”

"It's not a big deal, just coming to see you." Hou Haoyan walked to the stone table in the garden and sat down as if he had entered his own courtyard, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"Not yet." Ye Hanyue saw Hou Haoyan sitting on the stone bench, waved her hand and beckoned Yao Lao, "Take two cushions over here." ”

"It just so happened that I bought your favorite jade hibiscus cake on the street just now." Hou Haoyan opened the kraft paper bag in his hand and handed a piece of emerald green pastry to Ye Hanyue, "You taste it, it's fresh." ”

"Thank you, Haoyan." Although Ye Hanyue didn't have much appetite, she couldn't bear to brush off Hou Haoyan's kindness and took the pastry.

Hou Haoyan saw that Ye Hanyue did not refuse, his eyes were full of joy, and he was about to say something, but he saw Yao Lao coming over with a soft cushion, and swallowed back the words in his mouth.

"Come, cushion, the stone bench is cold." Ye Hanyue handed the cushion to Hou Haoyan, and then instructed Yao Lao: "Go and make a pot of tea." ”

Seeing that Yao Lao was walking away, Hou Haoyan cautiously asked, "How many days have you ...... How are you? ”

Ye Hanyue knew what Hou Haoyan was referring to, pursed her lips and smiled reluctantly, "I'll sit in front of you, so naturally I'm not in the way, and I have a lot of work to worry about." ”

"We are friends, we should care, when did you become so outlandish?" Hou Haoyan pushed the pastry in front of Ye Hanyue, "Eat more." ”

Hou Haoyan looked at Ye Hanyue, in just a few days, Ye Hanyue's whole person has lost a lot of weight, her eyes are slightly red and swollen, her lips are chapped, and her face is haggard.

"Little Wang Ye Ji people have their own natural appearance, you relax and wait, don't worry too much." Hou Haoyan was very gentle and gentle, as careful as a child.

Ye Hanyue looked at the pity and worry in Hou Haoyan's eyes, her nose became sour again, her eyes gradually moistened, Ye Hanyue quickly lowered her eyelids slightly, she didn't want to show weakness in front of people, unless that person was Huangfu Xiu.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, the little prince is blessed, he won't go that far."

After a while, Ye Hanyue slowly raised her head and said softly, Hou Haoyan could hear that although the words were soft, they were as firm as categorical.

"Hanyue ......"

As soon as Hou Haoyan's words came out, Ye Hanyue reached out and stroked his shoulder, "Where did you stain this fine blade of grass?"

Hou Haoyan stared at Ye Hanyue's side face, this was the first time to look at her so closely, her face was haggard, but her eyebrows and eyes were still as fresh as a picture.

Hou Haoyan tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, but the accelerated heartbeat made fine beads of sweat appear in his palms, and the faint fragrance on Ye Hanyue's body lingered on the tip of his nose, which was like poison, making people greedy and addicted.

"Hanyue." Hou Haoyan tightly grasped Ye Hanyue's hand that was about to be withdrawn, "I ......"

Ye Hanyue retracted her hand like lightning, and was a little panicked for a while, unable to speak for a while.

Hou Haoyan slowly withdrew the hand that was raised in the air, and the cold temperature of Ye Hanyue was still left in the palm of his hand.

"Hanyue, I...... I've always had you in my heart. Hou Haoyan's face turned red, and he looked at Ye Hanyue worriedly, he planned to pour out the words that he had been holding in his heart for a long time today.

"Although I am not as good as the little prince as a relative of the emperor, and my appearance and temperament are not as good as him, but I ......"

"Don't talk about it." Ye Hanyue interrupted Hou Haoyan's words in a cold voice, she was shocked by Hou Haoyan's words, but at this moment, there was only one person in her heart.

Although Hou Haoyan had already made mental preparations, Ye Hanyue's indifferent attitude still made him difficult to calm down for a while, "The little prince is already in prison, you have to plan for your future, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance, okay?" ”

"He'll be back!" Ye Hanyue roared angrily, but her eyes were already moist.
