There was only one day away from the capital, and Han Yixuan was silent a lot. His heart was like a boulder, how to find out the truth about his mother's murder, how to avenge her, how to get his father to agree to his marriage to Ruyu, these things made him sleepless.

Thinking of his father's bleak and ruthless face, he felt a huge pressure. But he will not compromise, for the sake of Ruyu, for the sake of the future of the two of them, he will definitely insist.

"Yixuan, can you tell me, is there any difference between Miss Xiao and Qin Ruyue?" Gongsun looked at him with a melancholy expression, and his words diverted his attention. On the way, he found that as long as Xiao Ruyu was mentioned, he would be extremely excited.

"I don't want to mention Qin Ruyue." Can she compare to Ruyu? However, the difference between the two is that he will not tell Gongsun Duan. It's his own business, so he doesn't give people a topic.

Because he suspected that his mother's death was related to Qin Ruyue, Han Yixuan was irritated when he mentioned her. 's mother treated Qin Ruyue as her own daughter, took pity on her for losing her mother at a young age, and was afraid that her father would have a hard time marrying her stepmother, so she took her to the palace and raised her like Miss Jiao.

Who knew that this was a white-eyed wolf, how could he be blind and fall in love with her in the first place. It's shameless to think about the things you did to please her.

I have to tell Gongsun Duan, don't let Ruyu know about these things, Ruyu is a vinegar jar, if she knows, she can't clean him up.

Breaking up with Gongsun Duan and coming to the gate of the Yiwang Mansion again, the scene in front of him is still so familiar, but it feels like a world away.

Han Yixuan looked at the pair of big lions at the gate of the palace and sneered wordlessly. Without the mother's palace, there is probably only a touch of humanity in this pair of stone lions.

"The second son is back." As soon as the guards guarding the door saw Han Yixuan, they trotted forward in surprise to salute. Looking at his excited appearance, it seems that he is very welcome.

Han Yixuan nodded, "Is my father in the mansion?" ”

"The prince went to the court and never came back. The princess and the prince are here, and the younger one will send someone to tell the princess and the prince that they will be very happy to know that you are back. ”

Han Yixuan laughed in his heart, it was strange to be happy. Probably except for his father, everyone else wants him to die outside. It's my father, and the reason why he came back was only because he was more useful.

There were already guards who went in to tell him, and soon, he trotted out, saw Han Yixuan, and touched his head a little embarrassed: "Second son, princess, please go in." ”

Han Yixuan nodded, and with the help of the guards neatly leading the horse, he glanced at the tall gatehouse and strode inside.

"Second son, princess, please enter through the side door." The guard hurriedly called out to Han Yixuan and said stubbornly. When he heard the princess's words, he almost thought he had heard it wrong.

The princess has never treated the second son's mother and son very well, but her face is quite passable. This time he blatantly didn't give a face, is this to give a dismount? Tell the second prince that the Yiwang Mansion is not his, and it is not that he can come and leave if he wants.

Han Yixuan suddenly stopped, snorted coldly, turned his head and left. It's really rare for the master to come back, if he didn't want to find out the cause of his mother's death, he wouldn't have bothered to come back.

Thinking of the princess's hypocritical and indifferent face, thinking of their mother and son trembling under her suppression, and thinking of the mean and slow treatment of the slaves behind her, they are all inseparable from this good princess.

"Second son, stay. Hey, second son, please stay. Seeing that he turned around and left without hesitation, Han Zhong, the palace steward, chased after him. He knew what the Wing King thought, and the prince still valued the second son, so he couldn't let him go.

The princess is short-sighted, and she doesn't want to see the aunts and concubines in the house, and the side concubines hate the sons and girls who are out of the house. The prince also inherited this insight from the princess, and it is not a good phenomenon that he never sincerely befriended his brothers and sisters.

The third prince is a brother to the son, but the third son is used to being careless, and his heart is not in the liver, so he does not help the son. The prince's great cause has not been accomplished, a good man and three gangs, the prince and the princess treat the second son like this, which will make people chill.

"Uncle Han, what's the matter?" Han Yixuan was still very polite to this manager who was very good at reading people's faces. This is a wonderful person, who is able to maneuver between his father, the princess, the prince and the sons. No one has offended, which shows that his skills are profound.

"Second son, please stay." Manager Han chased after him, his breath was not panting, his face was not red, his breath was even, Han Yixuan raised his eyebrows, he had long known that this was a practitioner.

"Second son, I'm already home, please come in." Mr. Han turned sideways and made an inviting gesture.

Han Yixuan raised his chin high, headed towards the main entrance, and raised his eyebrows, "From here?" Are you sure? ”

He felt that it was impossible for Chief Manager Han to contradict the princess, and with his shrewdness, he insisted on letting him in, which seemed to have been ordered by his father.

"The prince has an order, this is the second son's home, and the second son can get in as much as he wants." Han Zhong nodded with a kind smile.

Han Yixuan smiled defiantly at the guard who had just spoken, put his hands behind his back, straightened his waist, and strode into the palace.

"Manager Han, the princess is ordering..."Before the latter words could be spoken, he was interrupted by a slap, "Bastard, this is the palace." The latter words were not spoken. This is the prince's mansion, and you can only listen to the prince.

Han Zhong also looked down on the princess's small knowledge, but his status was there, and he was polite and polite to him, and he didn't know what to say. is very worried about the prince's choice to spoil the prince and snub the second son.

He persuaded the prince, but the prince has always been stubborn and never listens to persuasion, so he is not good at speaking again. I had no choice but to do my best.

Han Yixuan didn't immediately return to his room, but went to the room where his mother used to live, and looked at the familiar scene inside, tears almost fell.

His mother had never spoken to him softly, and had never spoken anything serious. He was always gentle and considerate to him, and never pressured him. has always felt sorry for him, and every time he travels far away, he is carefully instructed to let him return safely and early.

Knowing that the princess is mean, she has always been frugal, but she saves food and drink, and never loses herself.

She never competes with others for favor, she has always been indifferent to her father, never using means to keep her father, but often pushes her father elsewhere. is such an indisputable and gentle mother, how could anyone kill her, and whose interests did she violate? will be innocent and tragically killed.

Thinking of the inexplicable death of his mother, Han Yixuan clenched and released his fists, released and clenched them. There was no brazier in the house, and it was cold for a long time. Han Yixuan felt even colder in his heart, a day in this palace could not be warm.

"Cousin, you, you're back." Qin Ruyue, who looked pitiful in a white dress, appeared at the door, and when she saw Han Yixuan, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of surprise, and she ran towards Han Yixuan quickly. Behind her, followed by her personal grandmother, Mama Ruan. Seeing her gaffe, she stepped forward to stop it, but for some reason, she retreated again.

"Why is my cousin here?" Seeing her, Han Yixuan's heart couldn't say anything, Mu Ai's good feeling when she was a teenager, her sincere dedication when she was young, and her sadness when she was with Shizi, all of them came to her heart at this moment.

Fortunately, he was like rain, like rain, so that his now boiling heart suddenly cooled down and slowly calmed down.

Seeing that his eyes had changed from sparks bursting out of the sudden sight of her to calm down, the smile on Qin Ruyue's face slowly disappeared. She could see that her cousin's eyes had changed when he looked at her. No affection, no joy, no warmth.

She opened her mouth to ask why did he change? Could it be that just because she doesn't hold her pipa, he is no longer infatuated with her, likes her, and treats her well? Shouldn't he be affectionate and unrepentant, and his love is deep-rooted?

Why has he changed? Did he know something? No, no, if he knew something, his eyes wouldn't be so calm and indifferent. There is only one reason why he is so calm, he no longer likes her, he no longer loves her, and the reason why he no longer loves her should be that there is a person in his heart, that person, who has changed him.

At this point, she wanted to ask out loud, why did you let go of me and fall in love with another person? But she couldn't, she suppressed her anger and jealousy, and showed the most gentle smile at Han Yixuan, "Cousin, I miss you very much, it's good to see you." With that, two tears slid down his cheeks.

Tears hung on her white and immaculate face, which made her look even more delicate, and her nostrils twitched slightly, biting her lip gently, biting her lip white, as if trying to suppress her sadness and joy.

"Ao, I forgot to congratulate my cousin on becoming the princess's concubine. I believe that the eldest brother of the prince will definitely treat you well. Han Yixuan listened to Gongsun Duan's introduction to the situation of the palace, but he didn't expect that his cousin, who had always been arrogant and cold, would not be a concubine, but would be willing to be a side concubine, which was a little unexpected.

It's understandable, though. My cousin's background is average, and my father is just a petty official in a remote place, how can such a background be worthy of the prince of Yiwang, and let her be a side concubine, in the eyes of my father, I have already given a lot of face.

"Cousin, do you have to rip out my heart like this? You know it,... You know ,..." At this point, she couldn't say any more, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She didn't cry, she just stared at Han Yixuan stubbornly, letting her tears flow.

After all, they grew up together since childhood, and they used to like her so much, and Han Yixuan also felt very uncomfortable when he saw her crying so sadly.

He lowered his head and sighed softly, "Cousin, it's already like this, it's meaningless to talk too much." ”

"Cousin, but I can't forget you, I've been unable to sleep and eat these days since you left. Cousin, do you know what it's like to be worried about someone, but there has been no news? Qin Ruyue sobbed. Gently wipe your tears with a handkerchief.

"When I think of being a son..., I want to die. But I was unwilling, I missed my cousin, afraid that I would die, and my cousin would be even more sad and sad. Now that I see you coming back, I will die immediately, and I will be relieved. As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Han Yixuan affectionately.

When Han Yixuan saw her eyes, he didn't know how to think of Jin Yumei, and then thought of what Jin Yumei did, and wanted to vomit for a while, so he quickly twisted his face to the side. He was sure that if he threw it up, his cousin would be annoyed.

"My cousin is now the concubine of the prince, and she will be rich and glorious in the future, please don't think about it." Han Yixuan didn't want to listen to her anymore, it was nothing to say these things before, but now she is the concubine of the prince, in case these words are heard, both of them will be ugly.

"Does my cousin dislike me?" Qin Ruyue bit her lip, she didn't fail to see Han Yixuan's awkwardness, she was a little unwilling.

"Cousin, what are these words, as long as you don't do anything to be sorry for me and my mother, you will always be my cousin." Han Yixuan glanced at Mama Ruan, "It's cold here, why don't you come over to help the side concubine go back?" ”

Mama Ruan agreed, and came over to help Qin Ruyue's hand with a worried face.

"You really dislike me?" Qin Ruyue paused, looked at Han Yixuan, suddenly broke away from Mama Ruan's hand, covered her face and ran out crying.

Han Yixuan didn't have the heart to chase her, let alone have anything to do with the princess's concubine, so he turned his head and continued to watch in his mother's room, wanting to find any clues.
