Gu Jue saw that Yu Zhenyan's eyebrows were completely ruined by himself, but he was angry and laughed, "You are so ugly in this life, you will never go out for the rest of your life, only stay by my side." ”

Yu Zhiyan pretended to be annoyed, and slammed the pillow on his body, "Your wife was bullied like this, are you happy?" ”

Arnold was happy to see the two of them, and he also clapped his hands and kept shouting. When Arnold laughs, his eyes are like crescent moons, very playful and cute.

Seeing Yu Zhiyan's pillow smashed on Gu Jue's body, Arnold reached out and hugged Gu Jue's waist tightly, and buried his little head deep between his clothes.

"A child without a conscience." Yu Zhiyan said with vinegar, "Don't recognize me as a mother in the future." ”

"Arnold has always been with his father and never left." There was joy in her voice that could not be concealed. "Arnold will never go to the capital again."

It seemed that all the warmth dissipated at once, Gu Jue and Yu Zhiyan fell silent all of a sudden, and after a long time, Yu Zhiyan said slowly: "Arnold, let's go back to the capital the day after tomorrow, you are not allowed to mention it to anyone when you see your father, do you hear?" ”

***********

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When Yu Zhiyan woke up, it was already past noon, and Gu Jue beside her had already woken up, his eyes were gloomy, as if he had a thousand words to say to her, but he still held back.

She knew his thoughts, but she smiled, "I'll be leaving in a while, Donglang, take care of your life." ”

Although he said it in a casual tone, tears dripped down the filthy clothes woven of shark silk.

Gu Jue stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, "When you go to the capital, I will go to you." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan's face was full of sorrow, "In the capital, it's just like living in a cage, and there are people staring at me everywhere, where can I see you?" ”

"Sure enough, I'm a fool, I naturally have a way." His cold fingers combed through her long jet-black hair.

It seemed that he could no longer say the words of parting, Yu Zhiyan got up and put on his shoes. But the wound on his foot had not yet healed, and a piercing pain spread up.

Gu Jue supported her from behind, "Be careful, the wound on your foot hasn't healed yet." ”

Yu Zhiyan pulled the corners of his lips slightly, but he reached out to put on the clothes he had prepared last night, and the linen clothes still vaguely exuded a rancid smell.

Yu Zhiyan knew that if he was wearing too luxurious clothes, with Feng Huang's suspicious temperament, he would definitely notice something.

As soon as Dong Lang looked up, he saw her dressed in rags, and couldn't help but think of the time when he was exiled to Lingnan as a slave.

And at this moment, Arnold pushed the door and entered, also coarse cloth, and his delicate cheeks were full of sullenness.

"Arnold, don't go, don't go." Her voice was full of grievances and reluctance, "Arnold finally had a father, so naturally he wanted to stay."

Filial piety by Daddy's side. ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "It doesn't look like you said this, who taught you?" ”

Seeing that he had been recognized, Aronunu said, "Brother Hao'er told me." ”

Yu Zhiyan said with emotion: "Hao'er's child treats Arnold very kindly, although she is a cousin, she treats her better than the brother in the palace." ”

Arnold has not had anyone to play with her since she was a child, and the only one who is about the same age as her is the prince of the East Palace, but Mo Shu treats Arnold very much, and relies on his identity, never giving Arnold a good face.

"Brother Hao'er treats me well, Arnold will be his bride in the future." Arnold dragged his chin with his small hands, and his dark eyes kept rolling.

Gu Jue was unhappy, "In the future, you will stay with your father, how can you cheapen others for nothing." ”

Yu Zhiyan glared at the two of them fiercely, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You have one heart now, and now I have become an outsider." ”

Just when the family was enjoying themselves, there was a light cough from Bai Feng outside the window, and then he continued: "It's all ready, let's leave early, so as not to be able to reach Guangling City at night." ”

Yu Zheyan's eyes were full of gloom, but he couldn't say anything sad, only pulled the corners of his lips with a smile, and hugged Arnold, who was full of reluctance, in his arms.

"I'll send you there myself." Gu Jue's voice was reluctant and helpless, "When I change people, I will be in the dark." ”

****

Guangling was originally a prosperous place, and the Mid-Autumn Festival became more and more lively. On the street, there are sky lanterns, lion and dragon dances, or shouting and selling rabbits.

It is also attached to the symbol of the Moon Palace, and the talisman is not like a person. The attic is also crowded with people, and tens of thousands of people compete to occupy the restaurant to play the moon.

However, the highest Yueyue Tower in Guangling City was unusually empty, with only dozens of guards holding bows, and their sharp arrows were all aimed at the streets and alleys below.

The man sitting by the window drank the tea in the cup elegantly, not affected by the tension at this time, and his face was full of indifference.

I don't know how long it took, Feng Huang slowly turned the wine cup in his hand with his bony fingers, traced the blue and white sea water with his fingertips, and only opened his mouth lightly after a long time.

"Send people down."

The four guards who were on standby on the side saluted respectfully, and then dragged the man huddled in the corner downstairs.

The man's tongue had been bitten off, and he was whining and screaming something, but he was still being taken away by the ones who dragged him to death.

Feng Huang slowly got up from the chair and stood by the window, but after a moment, he saw the person who came downstairs, pulling the bound person and standing on the street.

In the bustling streets, no one paid any attention to the people who were tied up by the guards.

But Feng Huang stood in the highest place, carefully observing the people around him, no matter how quick he was, it was difficult for him to find out the person he wanted to find the most in the crowd.

Just when Feng Huang was standing at the highest place, carefully observing the pedestrians on the street, he saw that someone in the crowd threw cannonballs, and the frightened people crashed like frightened sparrows.

And the guard was also knocked away, and the person who was tied up was taken away by someone in an instant, and no trace could be found.

Feng Huang didn't see the person he wanted to see, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he was about to order the closure of the city to arrest people, but after the crowd dispersed, only a sedan chair was left in the open space.

Just as his eyes fell on the sedan chair, a pair of slender hands slowly lifted the curtain, and then a familiar figure came out of the sedan chair.

Feng Huang waved his hand to let the guards put down their bows and arrows, and then he hurried downstairs.

When he stood at the door of the Invitation Moon Tower, he saw Arnold and Yu Zhiyan coming out of the sedan chair, and the light of the lotus lamp on the street was shining on the two people, which looked a little obscure.

The first to see Feng Huang was Arnold's little girl, and she shouted in surprise, "Uncle." ”

Arnold's pear vortex appeared deep on her face, and her bright smile almost made Feng Huang's heart tighten, but she saw Arnold flying towards him like a butterfly, and then her thin body slammed into his leg.

Feng Huang hurriedly held Arnold in his arms, letting Arnold's small arms wrap around his neck.

As soon as he looked up, he saw that Yu Zhiyan was still next to the sedan chair, and looked here thoughtfully.

Feng Huang slowly walked to Yu Zhiyan's side with Arnold in his arms, but saw her holding the railing of the sedan chair, and her face was a little pale.

While hugging Arnold, he reached out and pulled Yu Zhiyan's somewhat messy bun, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "It's okay." ”

His eyes seemed to contain the stars in the sky, and he almost inhaled Yu Zhiyan.

Seeing that she seemed to be stupid, Feng Huang lowered his head and kissed her cheek, and his cool lips pulled her reason back.

Thinking of Gu Jue watching all this in the dark, she instinctively took half a step back, but the wound under her feet was suddenly involved, and the pain spread throughout her body.

Feng Huang keenly sensed that something was wrong with her, and asked with a worried face, "What's wrong with your feet?" ”

"I was injured when I ran away, the wound was not deep, and now it is more than half healed." Yu Zhiyan said lightly, "Don't worry. ”

Feng Huang slowly put Arnold in his arms on the ground, and then leaned down to carefully examine the wound on Yu Zhiyan's foot.

His slender fingers landed on Yu Zhiyan's shoes and socks, and although the movement was light, it made Yu Zhiyan take a deep breath in pain.

"Why did you hurt so badly?" His voice was full of anger, "Who are those people?" ”

Yu Zhiyan shook his head slightly, "Where can those people let me know their identities." ”

Seeing that there seemed to be a vague meaning in her eyes, Feng Huang didn't ask again. Yu Zhiyan's heart became more and more weak, and he looked at his eyes, as if he had already seen everything.

At this moment, a vendor carrying a bunch of rabbits made of bamboo came over and said with a smile on his face: "This lord, buy a lantern for your lady and daughter, it only costs five cents." ”

The waiter who was hiding in the shadows was afraid that something would happen to Feng Huang, and he was trying to come over and drive the vendor away. But seeing Feng Huang sweeping over at a glance, everyone stood still.

She and Feng Huang are standing together, which is easy to misunderstand, let alone when she is in the beautiful scenery.

Yu Zhiyan just wanted to scold the peddler for talking nonsense, but saw that Arnold had already taken a rabbit and played with it happily.

Feng Huang seemed to be very happy because of the title, so he took out a piece of broken silver from his cuff and threw it in the man's hand.

His voice was light, and there was warmth between his eyebrows, "No need to look for it." ”

The peddler suddenly smiled and said auspicious words, "I wish you two many blessings and a long life, and grow old together." ”

Yu Zhiyan almost instinctively looked around, but saw the street corner not far away, Gu Jue's face flashed in the crowd, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Feng Huang's eyes were full of smiles, but she didn't ask Yu Zhiyan where she had gone these days, which made Yu Zhiyan feel a trace of fear, and she almost vaguely felt that Feng Huang already knew that Gu Jue had kidnapped her.

"Can you still go?" Although he opened his mouth to ask, he didn't wait for her to answer, so he picked her up horizontally and walked directly to the Inviting Moon Tower.

Arnold carried the bamboo rabbit and jumped behind them, looking Qin Se and Ming, the envy of the world.

Back in the Invitation Moon Tower, Feng Huang ordered someone to bring Yu Zhiyan and Arnold's clothes.

The moment Yu Zhiyan took over the shirt, he actually felt a kind of fear spreading in his heart, Feng Huang was really careful, and he could keenly perceive those things that people ignored.

After Yu Zheyan changed his clothes, he vaguely saw the silent figure standing under the porch outside the window through the veil, and his white clothes looked out of place with the fireworks in the sky.

After Arnold changed his clothes, he pushed the door open and ran out, sticking to Feng Huang's side again.

Feng Huang smiled faintly and said to Arnold: "Uncle will ask the guards to take you around the street in a while, and if you like it, you can buy it back."

Good. ”

Arnold muttered unhappily, "Is it okay for uncle to take Arnold." ”

A trace of complexity flashed in Feng Huang's eyes, but there was still a doting smile on his face, "Arnold has grown up, it's not good for you to pick some and give them to your uncle." ”

Arnold nodded obediently, and then ran downstairs like a butterfly, with four guards chasing closely behind him.

After her daughter left, Yu Zhiyan walked over and asked almost tentatively, "Is something wrong?" ”

The sound of fireworks in the sky almost covered up the voices of the two people, and I don't know whose house set off the fireworks, and there were bursts of earth-shattering sounds.

But when Yu Zhiyan turned around to look, he saw the ashes after Huamei retreated.

It wasn't until the sound of fireworks stopped that Feng Huang slowly spoke, "I originally wanted you to spend today's festival happily, but I really didn't want to hide it from you." ”

Feng Huang looked at her softly, and there seemed to be some unbearability in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Yu Zhiyan raised his eyes to look at him, and there was infinite panic in his eyes.

"Yesterday your cousin wrote to you that your uncle had gone." He had always been silent, and he didn't know what words to find to comfort her. ”

The traffic on the street was busy, the lights were dazzling and a little dazzling, but Yu Zhiyan felt so lonely and desolate, her loved ones had left her like this, but she didn't even see the last glance of her loved ones.

The cool wind drilled into her body from the cuffs, and she only felt cold, cold and helpless.

And at that moment, a pair of gentle hands grabbed her trembling shoulders and pulled her into an equally cold chest, the embroidered bamboo between his clothes wet with her tears.

"Arnold is still young, how can she go through these uncomfortable things, I have already arranged for someone to send her to the palace and hand her over to the queen to take care of." He whispered softly in her ear, and his voice was soft, "I'll take you to Yangzhou." ”

********

After Yun Peichang was pardoned, he made a county order in a small county in Yangzhou, although he was a small sesame official, he could be regarded as able to feed and support a family.

Yu Zhiyan often wrote to him, but he never came to see him, only vaguely heard that he married a country woman, and the husband and wife were still in love.

Feng Huang and Yu Zhiyan drove the road in the middle of the night, until the sky was faintly white with the belly of the fish, and they arrived at the decent house.

Yu Zhiyan saw that there were white lanterns and white sails hanging on the door of the mansion, and the tears that he endured rolled down again.

Feng Huang helped Yu Zhiyan to get off the horse, but saw that the door of the mansion was already open, so he walked straight in.

This is not the first time Yu Zhiyan has seen her relatives leave her, she still remembers that her mother died when she was young, and no matter how much her sister persuaded her, she refused to accept it.

In the courtyard, there was a plain woman throwing paper money into the copper basin, and when she saw someone coming in, she hurriedly got up to greet the guests.

Yu Zhiyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, but saw that the woman's appearance was quite delicate, and she had the gentleness and gentleness of a daughter from Jiangnan.

After all, Yun Peichang had been convicted and exiled, and he was involved with the traitor Gu Jue, so those people in the officialdom naturally didn't want to be too involved with him, so there were only a few guests who came over.

And Yu Zhiyan and Feng Huang were followed by more than a dozen majestic people, and a woman was naturally frightened, while asking the maid to find her mother-in-law and husband.

"Wait a minute." The woman bowed nervously.

The first to come was Mrs. Yun, she and Yu Zhiyan hadn't seen each other for four years, and the first time Yu Zhiyan saw her, she couldn't cry anymore, and only knelt on the ground with a plop, "Aunt." ”

Although Mrs. Yun is old, she is still charming four years ago, and now her sideburns are half white, the corners of her eyes are drooping, and her face is full of wrinkles.

"My cigarette, you're coming back late." Mrs. Yun was crying, the corners of her eyes were already red and swollen into a slit, "Your uncle kept reading your name before he died, saying that she loved you the most, but you didn't come to see him." ”

These words pierced her heart like a sharp blade, what was she doing at that time, she was lingering with Donglang.

Feng Huang hurriedly helped Yu Zhiyan up, and seeing her constantly trembling, he couldn't help but be gloomy in his eyebrows.

Yu Zhiyan walked over and hugged his aunt, "It's all mine, my mother went early, and it was my uncle and aunt who pulled me up, but Zhenyan never fulfilled his filial piety." ”

Mrs. Yun and Yu Zhiyan were hugging and crying, but when they saw Yun Peichang coming in a hurry, and when they saw Feng Huang standing in the courtyard, their faces suddenly changed greatly.

It turned out that this Mrs. Yun only cared about crying with Yu, and forgot to kowtow to the emperor, which is a great disrespectful crime.

He hurriedly glanced at his lady, and then knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Weichen see the emperor." ”

Mrs. Yun realized that she had made a big mistake, and she knelt down tremblingly.

And Yun Peichang's wife was already stupid at this time, she was just a girl from the countryside, she had never seen anything in the world, let alone a glimpse of the sky, she only looked up at Feng Huang in amazement.

But seeing him dressed in white, although there was no trace of expression on his face, there was a royal majesty and arrogance between his eyebrows, which made people can't help but bow and worship.

The first to react was the maid beside her, who hurriedly pinched her arm with her hand, and she quickly knelt on the ground.

Feng Huang glanced at everyone, "I and Zhiyan are micro-suits to go out on patrol, it is inconvenient to expose their identities, let alone let others know about this matter, just get up." ”

Yu Zhiyan personally helped her aunt up, and then asked someone to bring Su Min to change it, and then entered her uncle's mourning hall.

As soon as she saw the dark coffin, the tears in her eyes fell again, and she knelt on the ground and knocked her head three times.

She slammed so hard that even the green bricks on the ground shook.

When she finished the last knock, she didn't stand up, but just whimpered on the ground and cried.

Yun Peichang's wife was by her side, and she was so sad that she was busy helping Yu Zhiyan up.

Yu Zhiyan stayed in his uncle's mourning hall for two hours before he went out to eat with the support of the maid.

Feng Huang's back is the honor of the Ninety-Five, so naturally he can't dine with Yu Zhiyan, Yu Zhiyan was arranged in a side room, accompanied only by Yun Peichang's wife.

Yu Zhiyan's stomach seemed to be stuffed with stones, so he naturally couldn't eat it, so he only looked up at the woman and asked a little casually, "What is the name of my cousin-in-law, looking at your young age, I'm afraid you're younger than me." ”

"The concubine's surname is Xie Yanyan, and she is two years younger than her wife." She often heard from her mother-in-law that her name was passed down to the world, especially the grievances and hatreds with Gu Jue and the new emperor.

Yu Zhiyan saw that she was quite decent, and there were some rules in her actions, so she couldn't help but sigh: "You just call me to fold the cigarette." ”

That Xie Yanyan didn't dare to refute, she only nodded respectfully, but she served Yu with cigarettes and vegetables, and was very courteous.

Yu Zhiyan was sad in his heart, and sat down again without eating a few chopsticks, and secretly felt sad.

Feng Huang and Yun Peichang didn't know what to discuss in the house, but Xie Yanyan wanted to buy some things for the burial, and she was afraid that Yu Zhiyan would cry hard in the house, so she took the idea and asked her to accompany her.

Yu Zhiyan knew that the house was in a tight situation, and what the slave should have done could only do it himself, after all, there were only one or two small servants in the mansion who could be used.

Naturally, someone returned to Feng Huang when she wanted to go out, and he asked someone to bring her a stack of silver tickets, only saying that she would have a good life to buy, and the funeral things should be the best.

That Xie Yanyan saw that the relationship between Yu Zhiyan and Feng Huang was complicated, but she didn't have half of the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, so she couldn't help but wait for Yu Zhiyan to become more and more respectful.

Although Yu Zhiyan has never purchased these, his uncle has been rich and noble for most of his life, and he only needs the best things.

When Yu Zhiyan came back after finishing everything, it was already night, and Yu Zhiyan came back with a lantern and his cousin-in-law.

Just when the two of them arrived at the gate of the house, Yu Zhiyan vaguely saw a person kowtowing and bowing.

"Who's that man?" Xie Yanyan's voice was full of doubts.

But Yu Zhiyan seemed to be stunned, and kept muttering in his mouth, "Sister, it's my sister." ”
