"But no matter what, those people should have no ill will towards Mrs. Qingying."

"Really?"

Wei Ningyuan said this sentence to comfort me, but he was a little surprised to look at my faint tired face and unhappy expression. I glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "I'm not afraid that others will have malicious intentions towards me, what I'm most afraid of is not knowing other people's intentions." ”

The feeling of someone watching me all the time, watching me from a distance where an arrow could be shot into my house, is more terrible than knowing that someone is going to harm me.

The unknown is the most feared emotion of people.

They both looked at each other and fell silent.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that." I smiled, looked up again and said, "Then this time, you came to me, what is the matter?" ”

This time, Wei Ningyuan's expression became even more solemn, he raised his head to look at me, and said, "Mrs. Qingying, why did you leave Jinling?" ”

I listened to it and it seemed a little funny: "I don't have a reason to stay." ”

"Then, will Madame go back?"

"It's all gone, so why go back?"

Wei Ningyuan seemed to be a little shocked when he heard this, and looked at me with a bit of appreciation and reverence in his eyes, and after a while, he said softly: "Lord Liu Yi respected Mrs. Qingying so much, and he really didn't see the wrong person. ”

I smiled faintly, raised my hand and shook it, and said, "I am ashamed that Gongzi Ning Yuan said this. Whether I go down to the south of the Yangtze River or leave Jinling, it is all for my daughter and my own small life, which has nothing to do with the general trend of the world. What's more, those things have nothing to do with my little woman. I'm just going to be on my own. ”

Yu'er couldn't interject this time, only sat next to her with blinking eyes, as if listening to the Arabian Nights, and quiet. Wei Ningyuan, on the other hand, still smiled calmly: "That's what Mrs. Qingying said, but the people who affect the general trend of the world are more or less affected by Madame, how can Madame be alone?" ”

“……”

"I heard that even Lord Liu-Liu has been promoted to the head of the household department, and now he is the eldest princess."

My face sank.

When Wei Ningyuan saw me like this, he stopped, but Yu'er gently reached out and held my hand.

Her palm, very warm.

Last time, she was so surprised when she heard that I was married to a fisherman, but this time she seemed to have fully understood, and immediately came to comfort me when she heard about it, it seems that during this time, Wei Ningyuan also talked to her a lot.

I was silent for a long time before I finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled reluctantly at Yu'er, and then said to Wei Ningyuan: "They are indeed assigned to marry, even if they really get married, what can they do." Ning Yuan Gongzi said that the people who affect the general trend of the world are all affected by me, but in my opinion, people will change, and one day, they will be affected by other people. These things have nothing to do with me anymore. ”

Wei Ningyuan said: "Mrs. Qingying's words are indeed good, people will change." ”

“……”

"But—at least for now, I don't see any change in the former prince."

"......" My heart sank.

His words were the last thing I wanted to face.

When I left Jinling, although I said those words to Pei Yuanxiu so sincerely, there must be fragrant grass within ten steps, and I hoped that he could take ten more steps, but in the end, what he gave me was like a rock that would not and would not transfer.

Moreover, these days, Ping'er and they will come here to see me on time, in addition to helping, what mission they are carrying, it is self-evident.

Pei Yuanxiu...... Indeed, it's not that easy to let go.

Yu'er held my hand and said cautiously: "Qingying, I don't understand the big things you said. However, I really think that when I was still in the palace before, I felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treated you differently from others. This time, I felt even more. ”

I turned to look at her, not speaking, just a slight tremor of the fingers she was holding.

In the past, when I was in the palace, she did tell me more than once, but I always just laughed at it, no matter how I thought about it, I felt that it was impossible, how could His Royal Highness the high-ranking prince fall in love with me as a little palace maid.

But today, I can't argue with it, and I can't even laugh it off easily.

Wei Ningyuan said softly again: "Then, what does Madam think of what the former prince did in Jiangnan?" ”

I pondered for a long time, and finally slowly spit out four words: "The killing is deep." ”

As if he knew that I would say this, Wei Ningyuan lightly hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Yes, the killing is heavy. At the beginning, Yangzhou Mansion was full of blood and corpses everywhere, like purgatory on earth, and Mrs. was unimaginable. ”

"......" I felt heavier and heavier: "You tell me this, what are you doing?" ”

"Mrs. Qingying, when the Emperor Taishang was in power, what was the evaluation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness?"

I glanced at him and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gentle in temperament, generous in his actions, and has the style of a benevolent monarch; And the Third Highness—"

I thought about it, but the words didn't come out.

Pei Yuanhao's temperament, I don't need others to say, I know it too well, his temperament is ruthless, and his methods are ruthless, which can be seen from the night he forced the palace to seize the throne.

It's just-

Without waiting for me to say anything, Wei Ningyuan had already said: "It's just that the emperor who was still the third prince back then, His Majesty, suffered such a big loss when he went down to Jiangnan, and he didn't kill in Jiangnan. ”

“……”

"Mrs. Qingying, isn't this the reason why you, and Huang Ye, chose to assist the emperor in the first place?"

I was speechless and speechless.

Yes, when Pei Yuanhao was in the south, he did suffer a lot of losses both openly and secretly, but even so, except for the extermination of the gang of mountain bandits in Huya Mountain, he never went on a killing spree in Jiangnan, so when the soldiers and horses surrounded the Huisheng medicine shop, Huang Tianba was close to him, and the golden dart could take his life at any time, but he didn't do anything, but said the word "confession" to him.

This love is not a small favor, nor is it a small love.

It's his tolerance of Jiangnan!

"And His Royal Highness the Prince—"

Wei Ningyuan stopped before he finished speaking, only to see Li'er in the back room open a little blue cloth curtain and poke out a small head: "Mother, are you finished talking?" Can I play with my child? ”

Although my heart was very heavy, I still smiled at her: "Not yet." ”

"Hmm...... It's so lonely, it's not fun at all. ”

“……”

Before I could speak, Yu'er next to me stood up and walked over, looked at her carefully, and said, "Shall I play with you?" ”

Li'er blinked and blinked her eyes widely: "Do you know how to catch fish?" ”

"Uh, no."

"And will you catch fireflies?"

"Also...... No. ”

"Hmm," Li'er pouted loudly, "What's the fun of that?" ”

Yu'er thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Then you can teach me." ”

As soon as she said this, Li'er's eyes lit up suddenly, and she suddenly opened the curtain and walked out of it: "That's right, I'll teach you." I'm a master fisherman! ”

As she spoke, she grabbed Yu'er's hand and walked over: "Mother, I can take her-her-" She hesitated for a moment, and I smiled, "This is your Aunt Yu." ”

"Oh, Aunt Yu, can I take Aunt Yu to catch fish?"

I smiled, "Yes." Be careful, though, don't come back too late, and don't get drenched. Yu'er, you help me take care of her. ”

"Hmm."

Both of them agreed, and immediately pushed the door and walked out, watching from a distance as the two children, one older and one younger, jumped to the other side of the river.

Actually, I am also very grateful to Yu'er and Wei Ningyuan for their carefulness.

Of course they all know, Li'er was brought up by Pei Yuanxiu, and now when talking about Pei Yuanxiu here, it is best not to let children know that no matter how dirty the adult world is, they should protect the pure world of the child.

Thinking of this, I turned my head to look at Wei Ningyuan, he also looked at the door thoughtfully, and was silent for a while, before turning his head to look at me and saying, "I faintly heard people say that the princess-" He looked at my face and changed his words: "Ling Qianjin is a descendant of King Jiangxia, and the two young ladies of the Han family raised her. But I didn't expect to be able to teach so well, but it's rare. ”

I don't know why he suddenly mentioned the two sisters of the Han family again, and said, "Do you know them? ”

"I have been in Jiangnan for all these years, and when Lord Liu went south, he also mentioned to his students that if the imperial court wants to recover Jiangnan, in addition to dealing with those Jiangnan mobs, the most important thing is to deal with the power of the queen of Jiangxia. Over the years, I have guarded Jiangnan, and I have also paid some attention to their movements. ”

"So what?"

"Therefore, I also know that there can't be such a person by the prince's side."

My eyebrows furrowed slightly: "What kind of person?" ”

Wei Ningyuan's eyes were deep, and he said solemnly: "If the prince is a knife that kills deeply in Jiangnan, then they are the ones who cut this knife." ”

This time, I didn't speak, but I had the feeling that I had finished speaking.

Indeed, if Pei Yuanxiu was originally a knife, this knife could have caused the He family to be raided and destroyed in one sentence in the palace, but now, in Jiangnan, there are already corpses all over the field and rivers of blood.

Someone, opened the blade of this knife.

"Of course, there is a reason why the people of the Han family do this."

I looked at Wei Ningyuan, but I felt a little strange, the Han family is the descendants of the Jiangxia King, they are dependent on the powerful people to make a comeback, and want to re-establish the power of the Jiangxia King in the Jiangnan region, this is a well-known reason, how can it be worth mentioning?

Looking at my somewhat disapproving expression, Wei Ningyuan seemed to understand, and said with a smile: "Madame, do you know that after all these years, the power of King Jiangxia has gone through all these years, and now there are only two women left to inherit this family business. It stands to reason that this clan is also in decline, and it is already the greatest luck to be able to keep the glory and wealth they have, why should they still gamble and follow the prince to start an incident. ”

“……”

I didn't think too much about it.

After all, judging from Han Ruoshi's attitude towards Pei Yuanxiu, it is not surprising that she is willing to follow Pei Yuanxiu, but the combination of men and women is completely different from the combination of the two forces. The union of men and women, as long as there is affection, the two hearts are happy, and they are willing to spend their lives together; However, the combination of the two forces must be beneficial to both sides on the premise of the same purpose, so that it can be achieved.

Now that the Han family has invested all their manpower under Pei Yuanxiu's command, if Pei Yuanxiu really succeeds, even if they have great merit, how much benefit can they have if the two women are in charge?

Unless-

Wei Ning said from afar: "I've heard some interesting legends. ”

"What's the interesting legend?"

"I heard some old people here say that when the pair of young ladies of the Han family were born, the Jiangxia Mansion was shrouded in sunshine, and the house was full of strange fragrances."

"Oh?"

I couldn't help laughing: "Legend has it that those emperors and generals are all stars in the sky, and when all such people are born, aren't there some strange things?" ”

Wei Ningyuan also smiled, but with a solemn smile, he looked at me and said, "So, there are rumors that the Han family has a daughter, and she will be the mother of the world." ”
