Chapter 52: Emperor Qi's thoughts
A breeze blows, bringing a burst of medicinal fragrance and a girl's light timbre. Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, waved his hand to the maid who led the way, and motioned for her to retreat.
"Miss Xiao is still as sharp as ever and hit the nail on the head." Ye Yun's elegant and handsome face had a chuckle, but there was an indistinguishable emotion in his inky black pupils.
Xiao Yuyin turned around and looked at the figure not far away, feeling a little trance, always feeling that it was not very real, and he didn't notice it before because he didn't pay attention to it, and he only noticed it at this time.
"Ye Yun, don't you know what I'm talking about?" Xiao Yuyin smiled on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Ye Yun shook his head, and didn't answer her words directly, just smiled slightly and changed the topic, "Miss Xiao, what's the matter with coming here to find me?" ”
Xiao Yuyin didn't speak, her eyes were staring at Ye Yun tightly, and after all, she didn't ask him anymore, everyone has their own privacy, and she should respect it.
"You should know what I'm trying to ask?"
Ye Yun also smiled, slightly teasing, "Ask about Nalan Heng?" Why don't you ask Nalan Heng? ”
Xiao Yuyin's face was slightly unnatural, she went to ask Nalan Heng? She didn't dare! But she would never say this, she calmed down slightly, and said very calmly, "I just want to ask you if you can't?" ”
Ye Yun just glanced at her and didn't embarrass her, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"Why is the relationship between Nalan Heng and Nalan Xiao like this?" This is what she wants to ask most now, and it is also the one she dares not ask the most.
Ye Yun looked at the medicine field, smelling the faint fragrance of medicinal herbs in the air, his voice was gentle, and there was a faint sigh in his tone, "It seems that he didn't tell you anything." ”
Xiao Yuyin was puzzled and waited for his next step.
"Actually, when he was just born, Nalan Xiao had a good relationship with the queen, I'm talking about Queen Sima, and Empress Yu was still a concubine at that time." Ye Yun's voice was long and far-reaching, "When I married the queen, Nalan Xiao built a palace for her, not the Huaqing Palace of the queens of the past dynasties, it really belonged to her, and it was named after the queen's boudoir." The relationship was really good back then. ”
So what is the "Yunlan Palace" that Nalan Xiao took her to today? "Empress Sima's boudoir is Yunlan?"
"Huh?" Ye Yun nodded and smiled lightly, "Did Emperor Nalan Xiao take you to the palace today?" ”
"Hmmm! I finally know the meaning of Yunlan Pavilion. Xiao Yuyin paused, and then sighed a little: "Nalan Heng has a really good relationship with his mother!" ”
"Yes! His relationship with his mother is really good," Ye Yun pondered for a while, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "It's also because after the death of the queen, his relationship with Nalan Xiao is not good." ”
"For what?" Even so, it is impossible to have a relationship with him Nalan Xiao like now, how can she feel that they are a little self-tormenting.
"After the death of the queen, Nalan Xiao also became less and less concerned about him." Ye Yun slowly spoke, glanced at Xiao Yuyin, squatted down and looked at the medicine field in front of him, then thought of something, turned his head and asked Xiao Yuyin, "Did he tell you about Concubine Ling?" ”
"No, who is Concubine Ling?" Xiao Yuyin also squatted down and played with the herbs in front of her with her hands.
"Do you remember Ling Yanxiao from the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion?" Ye Yun's eyes had a hint of unclear meaning, "It's her aunt, and she is also the mother concubine of the fourth prince." ”
The mother of the fourth prince? Ling Yanxiao's aunt?
"But, what does this have to do with Nalan Heng?" Xiao Yuyin was still a little puzzled, and then asked.
"After the death of the queen, his life was not good, Nalan Xiao no longer favored him before, and suppressed him after Yu," Ye Yun pondered for a while, "There are not many concubines in Nalan Xiao's harem, because the queen did not fight or rob during her lifetime, and was kind to people, but there are also some people who protect him." ”
In the harem, there is no fighting, no grabbing, being kind to others, how good Queen Sima must be, and how big her heart must be before she can accommodate the women who compete with her for a husband.
"How did Nalan Heng come here?" Xiao Yuyin's words were a little distressed, the death of the queen mother, the indifference of his father, the darkness of the palace, how hard did Nalan Heng live?
"The Empress Dowager likes him very much, and Concubine Ling has been helped by the Empress, and she has also helped Nalan Heng escape several disasters, so much so that ......" Ye Yun paused for a while, "so much so that Concubine Ling lost her life to protect him." He has been blaming himself for so many years, because Concubine Ling persuaded him not to show his edge, he didn't listen, but as for the catastrophe of the year, the fourth prince lost his mother, just like him. ”
Showing your edge? Is that before Nalan Heng was ten years old? And what Nalan Heng said before, he was too patient with Ling Yanxiao, was it because of guilt?
"Then why did Nalan Xiao do this to him?" Xiao Yuyin didn't understand, it was clear that Nalan Xiao's attitude towards Nalan Heng was not as bad as she thought, on the contrary, she was still caring.
Ye Yun smiled a little sarcastically when he heard this, and there was also a mockery in his eyes, "The queen was killed by Empress Yu, and so was Concubine Ling, by the way, and Concubine De back then, who was also very good with the queen, and they were all killed by Empress Yu." You can imagine why he hated Nalan Xiao. ”
Empress Sima, Concubine Ling and Concubine De who were killed by Empress Yu, so how much did the four princes, Nalan Heng, hate her? How much do you want to complain about Nalan Xiao?
"Does Nalan Xiao know?" Xiao Yuyin asked unwillingly, she didn't know how much she thought about Nalan Xiao, otherwise she would complain about him.
"Yes." Ye Yun's eyes narrowed, his eyes were full of coldness, and the herb in his hand was unconsciously broken by him, and he didn't notice it, "It's because he knows that he resents him even more." ”
Xiao Yuyin looked at the precious herb that died under Ye Yun's hands, she felt that her heart was like that herb, pinching fiercely, feeling sorry for Nalan Heng, really distressed.
"Over the years, how did Nalan Heng and his brothers come over?" She really couldn't guess Nalan Xiao's thoughts, now that she knew, why did she shield Empress Yu like this, did she love Empress Yu or Queen Sima? She couldn't guess Nalan Xiao's thoughts.
Ye Yun came back to his senses a little, looked at the herbs under his hand, and sighed slightly, "Their confrontation over the years has also made us finally know Nalan Xiao's purpose. ”
"For what?" Xiao Yuyin spoke.
"Nalan Xiao forced Nalan Heng to make a move again, Nalan Heng forced Nalan Xiao to make a move again, they were forcing each other. It's just that Nalan Heng didn't agree, Nalan Xiao kept forcing him, trying to push him to hurry, forcing him to kill Empress Yu, and forcing him to rebel, and what Nalan Heng was most afraid of was that position. Ye Yun spoke slowly, his eyes slightly cold.
Xiao Yuyin was silent, thinking about Nalan Heng's temperament, such a person is the real him, so is it also a kind of protection for Nalan Heng when he was a child?
Xiao Yuyin was still pondering, but she heard Ye Yun's extremely serious words, "Miss Xiao, Nalan Heng is sincere to you, and I also hope that you will not hurt him." ”
This sentence broke the silence between Xiao Yuyin and Ye Yun, floating in the air, extremely clear, but it made Xiao Yuyin stunned in place.
At this moment, she really didn't know what to do?
