The dearest relatives reunited after six years, but they didn't expect this to be the case, but they heard her sister's voice with a chill in it, "On the day you got married, I was thrown into a mass grave by our father's order. ”

Yu Zhiyan still remembers the situation on the street, when the little maid in the mansion rolled her sister away with a straw mat.

"The name of the person who threw me was Liu Chang, a well-known bully, and when he saw that I still had a breath, he dragged me to his own house." There was a calmness in her voice, as if she was talking about someone else.

Yu Zhiyan knelt on the ground a little dejectedly, holding his shoulders a little tremblingly, "I don't know, sister." ”

"Of course you don't know." The corners of her lips curled, followed by a sneer, "That bully took me after my injuries healed." ”

Yu Zhiyan almost couldn't cry when she heard that her sister was suffering from this, "Why don't you go to me, why?" ”

"I see you, sister." Yu Zheshuang's voice was sarcastic, "I stayed by that man's side for six months, and when I found a chance to run out, I went to the Chengguo Mansion. ”

She saw the shock on Yu Zhiyan's face, and continued: "That day was the wedding of you and Gu Jue, and I was standing outside the door, even through the hijab, I recognized you." ”

"I'm just here to avenge you, I didn't marry him that day." Yu Zhiyan raised his eyes and looked at his sister.

"I can't forget the joy on Gu Jue's face when he kicked the sedan door in my life, my heart was like ashes that day, and after being caught back by Liu Chang, I suffered

He could not bear his torment, so he killed him with his own hands. Her fingers twisted the needle, embroidering on the silk.

"How so." Yu Zhiyan didn't believe that his weak sister would kill people no matter what.

"After the killing, I was arrested by the government, and I made up a fake name and survived in prison for more than five years." The longevity word on her hand is almost finished, "I was released half a month ago and sold myself here to be a maid." But I've heard everything about you and Donglang. ”

After listening to her sister's tragic experience over the years, Yu Zhiyan cried hysterically, "Sister, this is all fate, I know you hate Gu Jue so much, you-"

"I don't hate him." Yu Zheshuang's voice was cold, "If Gu Jue comes to you one day, how about the two of us sisters serve him together?" ”

The grief on Yu Zhiyan's face had not yet subsided, and then surprise came, and she raised her head in disbelief, "What? ”

"Sure enough, you can't bear it." Yu Zhiyan embroidered the last stitch, and then bit the thread with his teeth, "My good sister is actually in love with my husband." ”

When Yu Zhiyan came out of the house, she only felt the biting cold, and the cool wind blew away the leaves on the trees, and her heart was like a knife, and even every inch of her skin was trembling.

General Wu was waiting outside the courtyard with his wife, and when he saw her come out, he was thoughtful. General Wu walked over slowly, and asked with a nervous face, "Please also tell me what happened to my maid." ”

Yu Zhiyan forced out a smile, and the corners of her lips were torn painfully, "It turned out that I recognized the wrong person, but it was just a misunderstanding, you don't have to ask her." ”

Although General Wu didn't believe it, he still nodded.

Yu Zhiyan didn't know how she had returned to her cousin's mansion, and when she returned to the mansion, the setting sun was falling on her, and the red dazzling fire clouds had almost swallowed everything.

Xie Yanyan was sweeping the yard with the maid, but when she saw Yu Zhiyan coming back, she hurriedly put down the broom and greeted her.

And Yu Zhiyan, who had lost her soul, walked straight past her without even blinking her eyes.

Seeing Yu Zhenyan like this, she hurriedly stepped up her steps to chase after her, and when she saw her pale face, she hurriedly grabbed her, "What's wrong with you, why didn't you come back from shopping, didn't you say that you were going to buy something for the road?" ”

Yu Zhiyan raised her eyes, nodded woodenly, but did not answer her words, and only went straight back to her room.

At dinner, Mrs. Yun didn't see Yu Zhiyan and hurriedly called someone to invite her, but Yu Zhiyan only shirked her discomfort and only stuffed herself in the room.

Until it was dark, Yu Zhiyan sat on the bed in a daze, and vaguely heard a birdsong, which she had never heard before, and it seemed to be regular.

She walked out of the house in a daze, but saw a person standing on a willow tree several feet high in the yard, and looking at the figure, it turned out to be Gu Jue.

Yu Zhiyan then remembered that he was going to see Gu Jue, but he was delayed because he saw his sister.

She walked over until she reached the bottom of the tree, where the man slowly jumped in front of her.

Dong Lang was dressed in black, and he was almost plunged into endless darkness. It's just that there is a little bit of moonlight in those black pupils.

"Why didn't you come to me today?" Seeing that she was safe and sound, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "Do you know how anxious I am? ”

Seeing his sister's matter, Yu Zhiyan was about to say it, but he still swallowed it, "I forgot." ”

Gu Jue saw that her face was pale, and the displeasure in her heart faded, and she didn't dare to blame her anymore, "You stupid girl is still so careless." ”

He looked at her deeply, his burning gaze like a thousand moonlight.

Yu Zhiyan thought of something, and whispered in his ear: "Men have three wives and four concubines, why don't you have a group of wives and concubines." ”

Gu Jue was stunned for a moment, but he thought of something again, and his smile became deeper and deeper, "It's not because what happened in Pear Blossom Villa was all Bai Feng's nonsense, except for you and I, I have never touched any woman again." ”

Seeing him so nervous, the dullness in Yu Zhiyan's heart also subsided, and he couldn't help but smile, "I believe in you." ”

Gu Jue wrapped his hand around her slender waist, and her thin lips fell on her cheek, arousing a tingle on her body, and she subconsciously pushed his hot chest.

His other hand was tightly gripping her wrist, and the place he was holding was crispy and numb, and when he looked up, he met his eyes that seemed to be smiling.

"You broke your appointment today, and you won't be punished soon." His voice was full of laughter, and he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.

The familiar and unfamiliar smell filled her snort, and she subconsciously reached out to wrap her arms around his neck.

Just when this love lingered, an exclamation pulled the two people back.

Gu Jue looked in the direction of the sound with murderous intent, but saw a young woman looking at the two people with a stunned face, she was holding it in her hand

With the lantern, everything around you is clearly illuminated.

It turned out that Yu Zhiyan's cousin-in-law couldn't find Yu Zhiyan, so she hurriedly came out to look for it, but saw a pair of figures under the tree in the yard, so she came over with a lantern to see. Helplessly, the two kissed too deeply, and they didn't even notice that she was coming.

Before Yu Zhiyan could react, Gu Jue had already pulled out the dagger in his arms and stabbed Xie Yanyan's neck quickly.

"Stop." Yu Zhiyan was frightened, she knew that Gu Jue was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so she could only kill people, "She is my cousin-in-law." ”

The killing intent in Gu Jue's eyes did not diminish because of her words, the sharp tip of the knife was only half an inch away from Xie Yanyan's chest, and he only said coldly: "She must die." ”

"She is my relative." Yu Zhiyan said hurriedly, only ran over and blocked in front of his cousin-in-law, "I swear with my life, she will never tell this matter." ”

He lowered his head, but saw that her eyes were full of pleading, and he couldn't help but feel unbearable, "In the future, you are not allowed to swear with your life, your life is mine." ”

Xie Yanyan saw that she was dead and escaped, and she was sweating profusely in fright.

The light of the lantern illuminated Yu Zhiyan's face, and he slowly stretched out his fingers to wipe the mutilated lip from her red lips.

He lowered his head and whispered something in Yu Zhiyan's ear, turned and jumped onto the tree, and then jumped out of the wall.

Seeing that Gu Jue was gone, Yu Zhiyan slowly walked to the woman who was too frightened to move, and said in a threatening tone: "Cousin-in-law, if others know about today's events, no one in our family will be able to escape the implication." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanyan's face turned pale with fright, and her lips were purple, "I will take this matter to the coffin, and I will never mention it to others." ”

Yu Zhiyan saw that she was frightened, so he only went up and wrapped his arms around her, "You don't have to be nervous, just don't see this." ”

No matter how stupid Xie Yanyan was, she guessed who Yu Zhiyan had met secretly with just now, and only looked at Yu Zhiyan thoughtfully, "Thank you for protecting me like this just now, saying that I am your family." ”

Seeing that her face was full of emotion, Yu Zhiyan hurriedly reached out and grabbed her cold fingers, "You treat me very well, like my sister." ”

In fact, she didn't tell her that it was her former sister, and now Yu Zheshuang, who is a little strange and a little scary.

************

Soon the time to return to Beijing came, and Mrs. Yun personally put Yu Zhiyan in the carriage and reluctantly sent her away.

In the past few days of getting along, Xie Yanyan has long regarded Yu Zhiyan as a close relative, and her eyes are red, and she is embarrassed to cry when she sees her mother-in-law and husband by her side.

She handed a few packages to Yu Zhiyan, all of which were clothes and pastries to be washed on the way, but when she handed Yu Zhiyan the last one, she said with some hesitation: "This is the clothes I made for Arnold, I don't know how tall she is, if she can't wear them, it's good to just keep a thought." ”

In front of Xie Yanyan, Yu Zhiyan opened the cloth bag, and reached out to take out the small shirt, although it was a high-quality satin, it was a world of difference from what Arnold wore before.

Yu Zhiyan stretched out his thin white fingers and slowly touched the delicate embroidery, muttering to himself, "What a beautiful job." ”

Hearing Yu Zhiyan's heartfelt praise outside the palace, a smile appeared on her nervous face.

Seeing that everyone had been standing in front of the door for too long, Yun Peichang hurriedly said, "It's better to leave quickly, so as not to delay the hour." ”

Mrs. Nayun also wiped the tears on her face, "You girl came back to see her aunt more often, with Arnold's child, you heartless thing, you didn't let me, an old man, look at her once." ”

Yu Zhiyan nodded hurriedly, and then let the guards catch the car.

Until the carriage turned a corner, Yu Zhiyan saw his aunt still standing in front of the mansion through the sedan curtain, looking here from afar.

The tears that I had endured for a long time still rolled down, crying miserably in the sedan chair.

Yu Zhiyan and the guards walked for half a month to arrive in the capital, and they stepped into the gate of the capital on the day of the early snow of this year.

She was escorted back to her lodgings by the guards, but Arnold was nowhere to be seen. Arnold has grown up by Yu Zhiyan's side since she was a child, and she has not left for a day, and now she has no herself, she is afraid that she will make trouble.

Before he could rest at home, he immediately entered the palace.

Yu Zheyan has a token given by the phoenix, and he can enter the palace at any time. The eunuchs in the palace were sweeping the snow on the road, but the palace was a little dull.

Yu Zhiyan did not go to see Feng Huang, but went directly to the queen's bedroom.

She was alert to find that even the queen's palace was so deadly silent, as if something big had happened in the palace, and there was no smile on everyone's face.

Yu Zhiyan stood next to the plane tree in front of the queen's bedroom for a while, and the eunuch Gu Jiao in the queen's palace hurriedly greeted him, saw Yu Zhiyan, and said respectfully: "Miss Arnold has been swinging in the imperial garden for half a day today, but I am afraid that she is tired and has slept for half an hour."

”

Seeing that Arnold had left him, he was still doing well, just thinking about the kid's willful nonsense, presumably the queen was very dedicated.

Yu Zhenyan bowed slightly, "Thank you Father-in-law Gu Jiao." ”

Seeing that Yu Zhiyan actually thanked him in person, Gu Jiao was also stunned, after all, Yu Zhiyan had a special status in the palace, and she didn't even have to bow when she saw the saint, she had no eyes in the past, and she had never put these minions in her eyes.

"You're such a minion." Gu Jiao led the way and said respectfully, "Madame, please." ”

Yu Zhiyan came to the queen's palace, but saw Lin Xuhua sitting in the palace looking at Wen Mu, and saw Yu Zhiyan come in and said softly: "This child was still noisy in the first few days, but he has become more and more well-behaved in the past few days." ”

The queen wore a begonia-colored palace dress, and there were only a few simple hairpin rings on her head, which made her white-skinned and beautiful even more.

Through the bright yellow silk curtains, Yu Zhiyan faintly saw Arnold sleeping soundly, holding the golden pillow tightly in his hand.

"Thank you to the queen for taking care of her." Yu Zhiyan was sincerely grateful, "It's already dark, I'll call her up, I'm afraid that the palace gate will fall in a while." ”

After Yu Zhiyan finished speaking, he opened the curtain, slowly shook Arnold's small body, and the child who was sleeping sweetly whispered, muttered a few times unhappily, turned around and fell asleep.

Seeing her daughter like this, the corners of Yu Zhiyan's lips couldn't help but hook slightly, and she was about to call her daughter up again, but she saw the queen slowly coming over.

"The emperor was seriously injured and was assassinated on the way back from Jiangnan." It seemed that it was after a long time of hesitation before the queen said this

"Go and see him, I'm afraid that what he wants to see most is you." ”

Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart, the person who could assassinate Feng Huang, she couldn't help but think of Gu Jue, just because Gu Jue was able to catch up with the Yun family, I was afraid that she had already understood Feng Huang's whereabouts clearly.

She saw that the queen's phoenix eyes kept falling on her face, as if observing her expression.

"The queen's words are wrong, I am not a concubine, if I go to see the emperor, wouldn't I have exceeded the rules." Yu Zhiyan's voice was calm, "You are the master of the harem, and you should have taken care of it." ”

Hearing this, the queen frowned twice, her eyes were full of melancholy, "Where can I see him in this palace, and I don't know what kind of injury he has become." ”

Yu Zhiyan didn't answer, but just put his cold hand on Arnold's delicate face, and Arnold, who was asleep, opened his misty eyes, and saw Yu Zhiyan at a glance, sat up busily, and hugged Yu Zhiyan's waist tightly, "A-Niang." ”

The queen knew that she couldn't persuade Yu to fold the cigarette, so she ordered Gu Jiao to bring Arnold's clothes. The newly made purple robe is a small cloak made of fox fur on the outside.

I haven't seen him for the past few days, Arnold hugged Yu Zhiyan with joy on his face, and talked about how he spent the past few days in the palace.

Yu Zhiyan was helping Arnold get dressed with a smile on his face, but he saw Nagu Jiao coming in from outside with a hunched body, and then said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just got out of school, and came to greet you." ”

The queen was thinking there, and when she heard that Mo Shu was coming, her face was immediately full of joy, but she couldn't help but glance at Yu Zhiyan's face.

"It's snowing outside, so call him in." The queen's face was full of joy, like a warm breeze on a spring day.

Arnold, who had just dressed on the bed, almost instinctively buried his face in Yu Zhiyan's arms. The smile on her face disappeared all of a sudden, and she was really afraid of Moshu.

Yu Zhiyan touched her daughter's head helplessly, but heard a sound of footsteps, and it was Mo Shu who came in.

Mo Shu's bright yellow clothes reflect his face a little warm, and he looks even more graceful and luxurious, with picturesque eyebrows. The head of black hair was tied with a golden crown, and two jade belts hung down from the temples and tied at the chin.

He had a grim look on his face, which was not at all as elegant and noble as Feng Huang. In addition to his appearance, his temperament is very different from Feng Huang.

Although Yu Zhiyan didn't need to salute, Yu Zhiyan still whispered a few words to Arnold. Arnold's water-clear eyes were full of reluctance, but he still slowly knelt on the ground.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Arnold touched the ground with his forehead, and despite her young age, she still looked good.

Mo Shu's eyes never glanced at Arnold's body, and he didn't even give Yu Zhiyan and Arnold a good look.

However, the queen coughed softly, and then said, "Sure enough, it's a good boy, get up quickly." ”

Arnold thanked him respectfully, then got up and slipped back into Yu Zhiyan's arms.

The queen hurriedly asked the palace maid to take off the snow fox cloak on the prince's body, and then walked over to take his hand, "Emperor, I heard that Lord Taifu said that you get up to study every day, and you really work hard, you have to combine work and rest." ”

Mo Shu's face had a maturity and stability that did not belong to his age, "Erchen is not good at school, and he is the prince of the dynasty, so he naturally has to work harder." ”

Gu Jiaoxiao's face on the side was wrinkled, "His Royal Highness the Prince, where is this, I heard Lord Taifu say that your academics are not even comparable to the top of the new department." ”

Mo Shu's face was full of arrogance, and he turned his head and asked Gu Jiao, "Then who is better than my father?" ”

Gu Jiao naturally didn't dare to reply, so he only nervously tugged at his sleeves on the side, but when the prince asked, he couldn't help but reply.

The queen could only ignore this, and only stretched out her hand and rubbed the prince's hand, "Why is it so cold, what are the eunuchs who serve you doing, and I really don't have to worry about it." ”

Mo Shu looked at the love on the queen's face, and there was finally a trace of warmth in her dark eyes, "It's Erchen who doesn't need to ask them to prepare soup for women, Erchen thinks that he is a man, so he doesn't have to be too pampered." ”

The queen was also full of distress, "Who is your child's temperament like?" ”

"Naturally, it's like the queen mother." Mo Shu had reverence on his face, "Erchen heard that you grew up at the border when you were not married to your father, and you were not allowed to shave your eyebrows. ”

Yu Zhiyan stood aside, there were three charcoal basins in the hall, and she was sweating finely, but she still felt the pain in her chest.

Yu Zhiyan was about to get up and retire, but saw Liu Xuanwu coming by Feng Huang's side.

Hearing that the emperor had sent someone over, the queen, who had been worried about the wounds on Feng Huang's body for the past few days, hurriedly asked him to enter the palace.

That Liu Xuanwu was wearing a purple satin suit, with bats tattooed on the front and back crotch, Fa Fu's face was full of earnest smiles, and he was holding a box respectfully in his hand.

After she finished greeting the queen, the queen hurriedly asked him, "Is the emperor's injury healed?" ”

It seems that someone has already explained to him, and he only replied respectfully, "It's all right, please don't worry about it." ”

Hearing this, the queen's face was very ugly, and she only asked in a deep voice: "What is Gonggong Liu doing here in this palace?" ”

Liu Xuanwu was not frightened by the queen's anger, but his eyes fell on Yu Zhiyan's body, "The emperor heard that Mrs. Yu entered the palace to take Miss Arnold back, so he asked the servant to send "Cat Frolic" over, only saying that Miss Arnold would definitely like it. ”

Arnold heard that something was given to him, and hurriedly let go of Yu Zhiyan's legs, and rushed over with a happy face, wanting to pick up the scarlet box.

But a pair of cold hands snatched the box first, and then opened the scroll.

"This prince asked his father for a few days and didn't give it, but he wanted to give it to this wild girl." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to react, and threw the painting worth 10,000 taels into the brazier at once.

The spark splattered on the painting, and the lifelike cat on it was immediately swallowed up by the flames.

Liu Xuanwu hurriedly pulled the half-burned painting out of the brazier, and then stepped on the sparks on it with his foot, and suddenly there was a pungent smell in the hall.

The people in the room were stunned, and Arnold, who was about to go up to pick him up with joy on his face, also froze in place.

Liu Xuanwu said with a shocked face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you doing, the emperor knows-"

Feng Moshu's face did not have a trace of fear, but he swept his cold gaze towards Yu Zhiyan, "You have less father to send me, even if you go to reply, what is the prince to take it yourself." ”

Yu Zhiyan stepped forward and leaned over to roll the painting anew, but most of it was burned, and the painting that had been passed down for centuries was completely destroyed.

"I also asked Gonggong Liu to go back to restore his life, only saying that I took this painting, and I don't have to go back to the rest." Yu Zhiyan opened lightly.

Moshu's face was arrogant, "Don't think that this palace will be grateful to you if you do this." ”

Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, his worst thing is this character, he has suffered a lot since he was a child, but Mo Shu, this child is more than that, if he is half like Feng Huang, he will be a perfect prince.

She looked at the prince with a calm face, "Naturally, I don't dare to expect His Royal Highness the prince to be grateful, but I have something to advise you, no matter how well you read, you have to learn some ways to behave in the world." Today you are throwing a painting, please do not throw the recital of the court into the brazier tomorrow. ”

Mo Shu's face turned pale, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, only squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Okay, this palace has written it down." ”

********

It wasn't until it was dark that Yu Zhiyan took Arnold out of the palace, and according to the rules, they couldn't sit in a sedan chair.

Yu Zhiyan took Arnold's hot little hand and walked into the long corridor of the palace, the red bricks and green tiles around him were covered with a layer of silver frost, and even the wind was mixed with dampness and cold.

Arnold had a lot of fun, stomping on the snow on the side of the road while walking, and squeaking was very interesting.

When the two of them walked next to Xianrui Palace, they saw a large group of eunuchs standing in front of them, and the prince in a snow-white cloak stood in the middle, looking at them coldly.

Yu Zhiyan saw that the snow under their feet was firmly trampled, and he was afraid that he had been waiting for them here for a long time.

This Xianrui Palace is a cold palace again, there are often rumors of haunting, the palace maids and eunuchs who come here are very few, only when Yu Zhiyan leaves the palace, he has to go through the side door of the palace, which is almost the only way.

The six-year-old crown prince exuded a ruthlessness and murderous intent, which made Yu Zhiyan faintly have a bad premonition.

Arnold's cold red little face was full of panic, she hid behind Yu Zhiyan, and said nervously: "Auntie, I'm afraid." ”
