The heavy rain outside the house was still falling, and the sound of dripping water falling to the ground made it seem that the night in this palace was so silent.

Ye Yufu lowered her eyes and finally moved her pale and dry lips to Ye Yugui, who had trespassed: "Didn't I just say that I didn't want to see you." ”

Ye Yugui was drenched in rain at this moment. Turn around, close the window firmly again, and turn back. But those dark and shining eyes did not show the slightest embarrassment, staring closely at Ye Yufu's face that was pale due to weakness.

"I said you don't have to come to see me again, but didn't you come anyway in the end."

"At that time, you needed to help me to show up, and now it's different." Ye Yufu's tone was a little hoarse, and her hands were clenched tightly.

"But I think you need help now, too." When Ye Yugui said this, there was indescribable impatience in his tone. looked at Ye Yufu's eyes with mixed emotions.

Ye Yufu raised his head to look at the imperial brother who was wet at the moment, stood up from the collapse without saying a word, took out a handkerchief embroidered with two hibiscus under Ye Yugui's gaze, and gently wiped the water droplets on his face.

"I don't need help, I'm just sick now, and I don't have any other reason."

This is true, and it is false. It's really that she is really sick now, after all, heart disease is the most difficult to treat. The cause of the illness was false, and she couldn't tell anyone about it.

After all, if one day in this world you suddenly learn that the father you have called for more than ten years is someone else. It must be all unacceptable. Ordinary people are still like this, not to mention this noble royal bloodline that cannot be confused.

"Imperial sister, today coincides with the heavy rain at night, and the guards in the palace are rarely loose, so I got the opportunity to visit you, if I can't untie your heart knot today, I will definitely not go back." After speaking, Ye Yugui snatched the handkerchief from Ye Yufu's hand, pressed her shoulder and sat down.

"Even if you sit in my room all night, I have nothing to say. Seventh Emperor Brother, you want to force me to order you to leave as your imperial sister. There was an indescribable toughness in Ye Yufu's tone.

Ye Yugui still sat on the chair without moving, playing with the handkerchief: "You drive me out today, and I will come back tomorrow." It's as if you would come to the Hanhui Temple every day. ”

Ye Yugui's body has been much taller over the years, from being a head shorter than Ye Yufu to now being able to reach her nose. Although his voice has not changed much, he is not as immature as before.

Ye Yufu sighed heavily: "Seventh Emperor Brother, now that you have lifted your grounding. But if someone finds you breaking into the princess's mansion at night, I'm afraid it's not good. Although you are still young, it is not appropriate after all. If you don't leave, I'll call my palace guards to drive you out now." ”

Ye Yugui didn't seem to hear this, his expression still didn't change for a while, and then he said slowly: "Imperial sister, I guess there is something strange about the fact that you had a high fever after the palace banquet that day, and the secret you told me that day. I'm afraid that's why you're in this state now. ”

Ye Yufu didn't expect to be guessed by Ye Yugui so easily, but after a moment of slight shock, she still said in a flat tone: "You think too much." ”

Ye Yugui seemed to think for a long time, hesitated, and finally said slowly: "If it is, I now say that I have guessed the secret hidden in your heart, and you will believe it." ”

When Ye Yugui ordered his subordinates to investigate the reason, he encountered a lot of obstacles, and it seemed that someone deliberately erased the matter before Concubine Shu entered the palace. But it was this that made his guess clearer. Although there was no specific evidence left, after layers of analysis, Ye Yugui determined that Concubine Shu had a lover who had a mountain alliance and sea oath before entering the palace.

The concubine who just entered the palace had an attitude towards the emperor, but after being found out to be pregnant, she changed her normal behavior, and she became closer and closer to Ye Duanli.

Ye Yugui didn't believe that a person would become so thorough in a short period of time, so if you think about it carefully, there may be something else wrong. Combined with the current state of Ye Yufu. He can basically be sure of one thing, that is, the eldest princess may not be Ye Duan's biological son.

Although this was a major matter related to the royal bloodline, Ye Yugui didn't care at all. The kind of emperor who can ignore his own son because of other people's own words is not qualified to be respected.

He actually didn't quite understand why Ye Yufu was so sad, whether he was sad that he didn't have the so-called royal blood, or he was sad about Ye Duan's love for him before he left.

He only knew now that he didn't want to see Ye Yufu like this. What he loves to see is the noble and proud, wanton and free and easy royal sister when he first met.

Ye Yufu shook her head, "You won't know, even if you know, you won't be able to help me." You're just my brother, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

Ye Yu couldn't help but shout out: "I know that you were not born by the emperor." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes widened in shock, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Ye Yugui's tone changed suddenly, "Sister Huang, what you said just now was all conjecture, and I should have guessed your reaction." Is it. ”

was really guessed, and Ye Yufu suddenly didn't know what to do. Now is the time to deny or admit it. The exhaustion of more than a month has left her with no other strength than silence to defend herself.

After a long silence, Ye Yufu finally nodded lightly.

Ye Yugui looked at Ye Yufu with tears in his eyes, and his heart seemed to ache fiercely: "It's not your fault, why are you doing it now." ”

"Brother Seventh Emperor, do you know that every time I see my father now, I feel angry in my heart, and I feel a strong sense of guilt, this is a great crime of bullying the emperor that disturbs the noble blood of the royal family. I don't have the right to stay in this palace any longer. I just want to spend a few years quietly, and then when I reach the age of marriage, I ask my father to marry me to another country, so that I can repay my guilt and never have to worry about the day of the incident. ”

Ye Yugui was furious when he heard this, and pinched Ye Yufu's shoulder heavily and looked straight at him: "If you plan to leave the Ye Dynasty like this, the emperor will not agree, you are the most favored princess in this palace, do you know how many people envy all this, but now you say that you want to give up." ”

Ye Yufu was already in tears at this time, covering her eyes with her hands, and her thin shoulders couldn't stop trembling, and the words she said were out of tune: "I... I just can't afford to be of non-royal blood. ”

"What does it matter if it's royal blood! I'm full of royal blood! But who cares in this house. I don't want to call them father and mother. But although you don't have royal blood, God knows what you know and what you know I know, and the lady has been hiding it for more than ten years, why can't you accept it calmly. ”

As his tone became more and more passionate, several lightning flashes suddenly flashed outside the window, and a gust of wind blew open the window, blowing out the candles in the room. also dried the tears in the corners of Ye Yufu's eyes in an instant.

"Accept it openly...... Can I do it now? Ye Yufu's tone was hesitant, but there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes, and it was extremely clear in this room under only electric light.

"As long as you believe, you can, and if you feel guilty, the best way is not to do better in this house. Become the best princess and make the emperor happy. That's fine. ”

Ye Yufu pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Seventh Emperor Brother...... You go back today, and I'll think about what you say. Ye Yugui seemed to be a little uneasy when he heard this.

Ye Yufu smiled lightly and rubbed Ye Yu's somewhat damp hair: "Don't worry, I won't give up on myself like now." Give me three days, and after three days I will decide how I should stay in this palace from now on. Then you will come to me again. ”

"If you still don't believe me, it's good for the two of us to tick the box."

Looking at Ye Yufu's outstretched little thumb, Ye Yugui finally laughed: "Okay! ”

The two made a second promise on this thunderstormy night, but at this time they didn't know that they would make countless promises with each other in their future lives, some of which could be fulfilled and some that could never be fulfilled again.

In the early morning of the second day, the people in the princess's mansion looked at the eldest princess who took the initiative to walk out of the bedroom, and they were all moved. They all knelt down. Yan'er saw her come out, so she rushed over with a handful of snot and asked with tears: "Gong.... Princess..... You tell the slave what you want to eat now! The slave and maid will make it for you. ”

Ye Yufu looked at the people who were moved by this room and cried bitterly, and her nose was sour: "Get up, you have worked hard these days." All of them have doubled their wages this month. These two days allow you to rest and not wait. ”

"Reward from Princess Xie!" Everyone kowtowed one after another, and when they saw Ye Yufu regain their spirits, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts. Ye Yufu has been a princess for so many years, but she has always been very good to her subordinates.

This Yan'er was originally a third-class palace maid under Sun Meiren, but when she was beaten by Sun Meiren a few years ago, she happened to be seen by Ye Yufu, so she asked the emperor for it. also agreed to take away his brother Zhao Ping, who was under Sun Meiren.

These slaves and maids made mistakes, and Ye Yufu could only give them a verbal reprimand. This is to be replaced by other princes and princesses, and when they encounter unsatisfactory slaves and maids, they will have to be sent away casually.

"Yan'er, go and make me a bowl of green vegetable porridge." As soon as Ye Yufu said green vegetable porridge, she remembered that day, and Ye Yugui smiled unconsciously. It seems that it was the right thing to do when I stepped into the Hall of Cold Return a few years ago. If it weren't for that time when he got lost, how could he have such a brother now?

"Princess, what are you laughing at, and how about telling us all?" Yan'er playfully looked at a room of minions waiting for Ye Yufu to speak.

"You will be poor, thinking that you can ask casually when you are a few years older than me, be careful that I will let you out of the palace and marry you off!"

"The slave knows her mistake! The slave knew she was wrong. Princess, don't let me out of the palace. The slave maid is still waiting for the princess to marry and then serve, the princess will reach the age of marriage in two years, I don't know what kind of concubine the emperor will give when the time comes. ”

Ye Yufu blushed when she heard the three words of the horse master, after all, she was still a fourteen-year-old young girl, and she was always taboo to discuss marriage so blatantly.

"Yan'er, be careful again, I'll let you sweep the thatched house for a month!"

On this sunny morning after the rain. The Princess's Mansion seems to have returned to its usual bustling scene.
