Chapter 74: Hypocrisy

Until she got into the carriage, Yan Lingyue felt that her heart was still "thumping". Is Zhou Ziyu really back?

Mama Li was obviously also a little incredulous, and asked Zhang Yudao, "Are you sure you read that right?" ”

Zhang Yu glanced at Mama Li, "I have been with the Nine Emperor Princes since I was a child, and I have been with them for more than ten years, do you think I can admit my mistakes?" ”

The possibility of admitting mistakes is indeed unlikely.

The carriage galloped all the way back to the palace. As soon as she stepped into the palace gate, Yan Lingyue heard the palace people talking.

"What about the Nine Emperor Princes, is it that the Nine Emperor Princes have returned?" Zhang Yu grabbed a little eunuch and asked eagerly.

The little eunuch pointed to Hanxuan, "The Nine Emperors have indeed returned, returned to Ming Hanxuan, and the king has also passed." ”

If it was only a suspicion before, it is now almost certain. Zhou Ziyu has really returned to the palace! At this moment, Yan Lingyue couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, her mind was blank.

When Zhang Yu heard this, he jumped up happily, "Yes, I'll just say that the Nine Emperors are back." ”

Mama Li was also excited, and pulled Yan Lingyue and ran in the direction of Ming Hanxuan.

In the past, Ming Hanxuan, who was always deserted, was very lively today, and everyone saw that the gate of the courtyard was full of people, and everyone looked at the courtyard with different looks.

"Let's get up, open up, our princess is back," Zhang Yu shouted.

The palace people saw that Yan Lingyue had to give way.

Looking at the familiar courtyard, Yan Lingyue suddenly lost the courage to go in.

Zhang Yu, who was halfway away, found that his princess did not follow, so he hurriedly returned and pulled Yan Lingyue again.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, before I approached the front hall, I heard King Zhou's hearty laughter, "It's really God's favor, Ziyu, you can come back, my father is so happy." ”

Zhang Yu was excited, and ran into the front hall with open hands, "Master, Zhang Yu is about to kill you." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yu pounced on Zhou Ziyu like an octopus, Yan Lingyue stood at the door and did not step into the room.

"Since the moon girl is also back, then my father will not disturb your reunion," King Zhou stood up and said to Zhou Ziyu, "You have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow there will be a banquet in the warm pavilion, and my father will have a good drink with Ziyu." After the words fell, King Zhou laughed and left Ming Hanxuan.

Zhang Yu, who reacted, realized that he had been rude, and hurriedly jumped off Zhou Ziyu's body to send off King Zhou.

Mama Li looked at her young lady, then at Zhou Ziyu, and dragged Zhang Yu back with a smile. In the blink of an eye, only Yan Lingyue and Zhou Ziyu were left in the front hall.

Looking at each other, both men were silent. In the end, it was Zhou Ziyu who broke the silence, "Yue, Yue'er," he walked in front of Yan Lingyue and held her hand.

The moment she heard Zhou Ziyu shouting Yue'er, Yan Lingyue's tears fell without warning.

If it weren't for this accident, she never knew that Zhou Ziyu was so important in her heart. It was so important that for a moment, she even wanted to go with him.

Zhou Ziyu, who has been struggling with what attitude to use to face Yan Lingyue, the moment he saw her tears, what reason and hesitation all disappeared, he always thought that he was stupid at the beginning, because he listened to his mother's words, because he knew that Yan Lingyue was his wife, so he guarded Yan Lingyue like that and liked Yan Lingyue.

In a sober state, he has not seen Yan Lingyue, has not gotten along with Yan Lingyue, on the way back, he was hesitating about what kind of mentality to use to face Yan Lingyue, he didn't know where to put his heart, he was confused.

But this confusion, when he touched Yan Lingyue's tears, instantly became worthless. Almost out of instinct, he ran to Yan Lingyue without thinking about it and hugged her fiercely into his arms.

"I'll never leave Yue'er again," he buried his head in Yan Lingyue's neck and took a deep breath.

The softness in his arms, as well as the satisfaction he felt when he hugged Yan Lingyue, clearly told him that he really liked Yan Lingyue. When he realized this, Zhou Ziyu breathed a long sigh of relief, and hugged Yan Lingyue tighter at the moment. It's a pity that he still has to continue to pretend to be a fool now.

thought that with Zhou Zichang's arrest, the matter was basically over. After Queen Xiao left Lingshan Temple, he happened to find a century-old Ganoderma lucidum in the back mountain, remembering that during the time when he was recuperating from his injury, Old Man Gu kept chattering that his Ganoderma lucidum was used up, and Zhou Ziyu rushed back to Mojiao Village with this excellent wild Ganoderma lucidum.

But the next moment he stepped into the Foot Mill Village, the whole person was stupid. The scattered peasant households in the valley have turned into ruins. There were blood stains everywhere on the ground, Zhou Ziyu panicked and hurriedly rushed to Old Man Gu's house.

The broken lintel, the crooked medicine shelves, and the herbs scattered all tell him that something is wrong here!

"Old man Gu, old man Gu...... Gu Yun? Knowing that there was little hope, he circled the village several times, calling out their names, but no one responded.

Zhou Ziyu took the Ganoderma lucidum and put it at the head of Old Man Gu's bed, and when he turned around and was about to leave, there was a "bang" sound from under the cellar, "Brother Yu, Brother Yu......"

Although the voice was very weak, Zhou Ziyu still heard it. The cellar door opened, and Gu Yun was seen lying dying next to the wooden ladder.

From Gu Yun's mouth, I learned that a few days ago, a large number of black-clothed people raided Mojiao Village, tied up all the villagers, and asked them if they had saved a seriously injured man. Where did the villagers know Zhou Ziyu's whereabouts, those black-clothed people became furious, killed everyone, and set fire to the village. Old man Gu took advantage of the chaos to lock Gu Yun in the cellar, and she was lucky enough to escape. Although his life was worry-free, he was still scared.

It was impossible for Zhou Ziyu to leave Gu Yun alone, so he took her back to the imperial city with him.

And the men in black, since they didn't find his whereabouts in Mojiao Village, they must not give up. Zhou Ziyu weighed it, and simply planned to continue to pretend to be stupid.

Looking down at Yan Lingyue who was nestled in his arms, Zhou Ziyu hooked his lips and smiled. Pretending to be stupid, maybe you will have a different experience.

The news that Zhou Ziyu returned to the palace safely spread and the people talked about it.

In the Yan Mansion, Yan resolutely listened to the housekeeper's report, and his happy mouth couldn't close, and he said that Yan Lingyue was lucky.

After hearing this, the third aunt couldn't help laughing, "Last night, I don't know who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and kept feeling that the moon girl was miserable, and she wanted the moon girl to remarry." ”

Belch! Yan was embarrassed and glanced at the third aunt, "As long as you talk a lot, if you have this time, it is better to worry more about Qingning's marriage." ”

Also happy is Duan Nianyun in Xinrong Pavilion.

Hearing the news of Zhou Ziyu's safe return, Duan Nianyun, who had been dull for a long time, was in good spirits. opened the wardrobe and tried on various clothes in front of the bronze mirror, wanting to make Zhou Ziyu's eyes shine at the dinner the next day.

Seeing that his daughter was so infatuated with Zhou Ziyu, Li wiped his tears and said to Second Master Duan, "Or let's just follow Nianyun." Although the Nine Emperors are stupid, after all, he is the king's favorite son, even if he does nothing in the future, he can be an idle prince in the future, and we Nianyun must not be able to bear any suffering. ”

In the end, it is his own daughter, these days, seeing Duan Nianyun staying in the room all day and being depressed, the Li family felt extremely uncomfortable, and basically compromised.

Second Master Duan also accepted his fate, "Even if we agree, the Nine Emperors are not something that Nianyun can marry if he wants to." The Nine Emperors like the fifth lady of the Yan family so much, and whether he is willing to marry Nianyun is another matter. ”

In Ming Hanxuan, Zhou Ziyu, who was taking a comfortable bath, sneezed twice in a row.

"Yue, Yue'er, are you secretly speaking ill of me behind your back," Zhou Ziyu pinched his nose and shouted outside the screen.

Yan Lingyue, who had just finished bathing and was wiping her hair, heard the words, shook her hand, and glanced at the screen, "If the water is cold, come out quickly, don't catch a cold." ”

When Zhou Ziyu took off her clothes, she clearly saw his back and the scar on his heart. Those scars all represent the pain that Zhou Ziyu has experienced. When she thought of those scars, she lost her temper at all, and when she spoke again, she also revealed a deep concern.

Zhou Ziyu pursed his lips, jumped out of the bathtub, and walked out of the screen directly.

Seeing Zhou Ziyu walk in front of her like this, Yan Lingyue stammered, "You, you ......" She pulled the thin blanket on the bed and threw it on Zhou Ziyu's body, glaring and said, "Why don't you wear clothes!" ”

Zhou Ziyu blinked, blinked again, in his memory, he and Yan Lingyue seemed to have shared the same bed for a long time. Moreover, Yan Lingyue seemed to have helped him with her hands......

Thinking about it, Zhou Ziyu's face flushed. Although he was sober, he hadn't been with Yan Lingyue after all, and he was still a little shy. But looking at Yan Lingyue, who was even more shy, he was interested again, pulling the corners of her clothes and shaking them constantly, "Cold, I'm cold." ”

After going back and forth, something happened...... Yan Lingyue was stunned, and Zhou Ziyu was also stunned.

"What are you going to do!" Yan Lingyue glared at Zhou Ziyu, gathered her clothes, and threw the handkerchief that wiped her hair into his face.

Zhou Ziyu coughed twice, his eyes fluttering, "Yue'er don't be embarrassed." He wiped his face casually with a silk handkerchief, and rolled over onto the bed.

"Yue, Yue'er together," Zhou Ziyu patted the position beside him and beckoned to Yan Lingyue.

Yan Lingyue snorted coldly and turned her face away. She also knew that she was hypocritical, but looking at Zhou Ziyu's harmless smiling face, she didn't know why she couldn't help but want to be hypocritical.

This night, Yan Lingyue slept unusually peacefully. Since Zhou Ziyu's disappearance, Yan Lingyue has never slept so sweetly.

Similarly, this night, Zhou Ziyu also slept very peacefully. The familiar bed, the familiar atmosphere, made him feel at ease.
