Chapter 42: Return to Freedom

Xiang Yi Fang.

Chen Hao'er and Zhao Xuechi drank osmanthus wine and ate side dishes, so comfortable.

"Feng'er, the reinforcements are sudden, and it will take another day to prepare military supplies, and we can set off the day after tomorrow." Zhao Xuechi held a small chicken leg in his left hand, and a small chili pepper on the plate in his right hand, looking at Chen Hao'er and said. "Sister Xuechi, what are we going to do on that cloudy day, enjoy the last freedom." Chen Hao'er drank the glass of wine and poured it for herself. "Feng'er, drink slowly, I can't carry you back alone." Chen Hao'er nodded, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and signaled Zhao Xuechi to rest assured.

Yu Nian walked aimlessly on the street with mixed emotions. Walking to the vicinity of Xiangyi Fang, I habitually looked up and looked at the window room where I sat on weekdays, and saw Chen Hao'er and Zhao Xuechi. Yu Nian lowered his head and sighed deeply. Maybe it's because I'm too depressed, and now I'm hallucinating. It's getting late, and it's time to go back. He shook his head and walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Look, who is that?" Zhao Xuechi was busy pouring wine in his hand and mouthed out the window. Chen Hao'er raised her eyes casually, and on the bustling street, her back for more than a few years looked a little lonely. "Sister Xuechi, I have broken off with him." Chen Hao'er pretended to look back inadvertently, but her eyes glanced out the window again.

"By the way, Feng'er, I haven't had time to ask you. You've been in the palace for so long, do you have feelings for that one? Zhao Xuechi looked at Chen Hao'er gossipingly. Who? You say the emperor? "Chen Hao'er's mind is still in the window." Yes, I heard that the emperor loves you very much, and he has spent many nights with you. Zhao Xuechi looked at Chen Hao'er narrowly. Chen Feng'er was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved her hand, "It's not what you think, oops, no!" Chen Hao'er's eyebrows twisted together, "It's true that the emperor is very good to me, it's just..." Chen Hao'er lowered her voice, "We have never been husband and wife." "What?!" Zhao Xuechi was shocked that the chicken legs in his hands fell off. Chen Hao'er nodded calmly, "We are just sleeping, roommate, Sister Xuechi, can you be white, roommate, we are just roommates." Zhao Xuechi shook his head, "I don't know." But... Is it really as rumored that the emperor has broken sleeves? Chen Hao'er thought for a while, "I don't know about this, but the emperor is quite handsome, by the way... One night... The emperor was drunk and wanted to have sex with me, but I avoided him. Chen Hao'er whispered, "What? "Zhao Xuechi dropped the chicken leg again." You rejected the emperor? Zhao Xuechi couldn't help but ask, "Sort of." Chen Hao'er gestured to Zhao Xuechi to be quieter.

Zhao Xuechi nodded, lowered his voice and said, "The emperor doesn't blame you?" Chen shook her head. Zhao Xuechi nodded thoughtfully, "That may really be a broken sleeve, and I will treat you as someone else for a while." Chen Hao'er shrugged her shoulders in dismay.

"Then you... Do you still like Yu Nian? Zhao Xuechi asked cautiously. Chen Hao'er, who was drinking, choked and burst out into a violent cough, "What are you talking about?" Zhao Xuechi thought that Chen Hao'er really didn't hear clearly, and repeated the words clearly. Chen Hao'er was silent and hung her head. Zhao Xuechi saw Chen Hao'er, who was suddenly depressed, and felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly comforted, "Hao'er, Du Zhenyue is gone, you are still alone for the rest of the year, and you are no longer a mother, you are still possible to be together!" Chen Hao'er touched the jade pendant on her waist, which was given to her by Du Zhenhe. But the emperor asked me to go back to the palace after the battle. Zhao Xuechi nodded understandingly, "Don't worry, Feng'er, the battle will never be finished, the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and the border has been in war all year round, so you can't go back for a while." ”

"General! You're back! I'm scared to death! As soon as he entered the familiar courtyard, Ah Chun ran to him. Supporting Chen Hao'er, who was a little drunk, "General, you guys are going to drink." Zhao Xuechi nodded, "We went to Xiangyi Fang." Feng'er is not strong enough to drink, and she has to drink, and she is a little drunk. Ah Chun walked into the courtyard with Chen Hao'er in his arms, pouting, "General, you don't take me to play, and you don't call me to eat delicious food." Zhao Xuechi smiled and picked up the lotus leaf bag in his hand, "How could I forget you, I packed a small roast chicken for you before leaving." When Ah Chun saw the roast chicken, a smile instantly bloomed on his face, "Thank you, General!" You're the best! ”

At night, the capital is quiet, only the sound of beating and the sparse meow of wild cats. Yu Nian sat under the porch, silently looking at the moon hanging in the sky. The moon was exceptionally bright tonight, and the stars around it were gone. Maybe it's really me wrong. Yu Nian thought.

From the beginning, my choice was wrong. I shouldn't think about being the prime minister, I shouldn't be familiar with Du Zhenhe, and I shouldn't have lost Chen Hao'er in such a daze. If, at that time, I was at ease as the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I went to run some small businesses, married Chen Hao'er according to the marriage contract, and then left the capital, went to Jiangnan Water City, and lived happily for the rest of my life. If I could, if I could turn back time, if I had a choice, let me do it all over again.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the head of the wall. Yu Nian turned his head to look, and a wild cat scurried by. He hung his head again and sighed. No, someone's voice. Yu Nian has martial arts on his body and feels a strange atmosphere. He concentrated, pretended to get up, and went inside to pour water. Sure enough, there was a sound of light and rapid footsteps outside the house. Yu Nian gently moved to take the sword standing by the door, and at the same time, felt the footsteps outside the house slowly approaching.

Yu Nian held the sword, held his breath, and quickly jumped out of the house, only to find that there was no figure. Is it that I hallucinated again, Yu Nian covered his head with one hand, closed his eyes and sighed. Suddenly, something was holding on to his waist. Yu Nian opened his eyes, and sure enough, a man in black was behind him, holding a scimitar against his waist. The man in black lowered his voice and said, "Are you more than a year? Yu Nian didn't answer, turned his head and looked directly into the eyes of the man in black, "Who are you?" Why kill Yu Nian? The man in black asked again, "Are you still a year?" I don't want to kill people in vain. "Yu Nian can know from his breath that this person is strong in martial arts, if he really fights, he is afraid that he will not be his opponent.

"I'm not, I'm Prime Minister Yu's guard. The Prime Minister has not returned today. Yu Nian pretended to be calm. The man in black did not put down his scimitar, "Do you know where he went?" Yu Nian shook his head, "The Prime Minister didn't say anything, and he didn't ask us to follow." The man in black struck with his knife again, "What's your name?" Yu Nian's mind turned instantly, "My name is Yanzu, my name is Yanzu." "Well, I remember you, and you are not allowed to tell me what happened today, or I will come and take your life wherever you are." Is it pale? Yu Nian nodded, "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is?" ”

The man in black paused, "You don't need to know who I am. I will come again. Yu Nian felt that his waist was loose, and when he turned his head, the man in black was gone.

Yu Chang breathed a sigh of relief, immediately entered the house, closed the door, and put the sword beside him. I'm afraid it's not safe to sleep here tonight. Yu Nian thought about it and walked towards the wedding room originally prepared for Du Zhenyue. In the night, Yu Nian pondered carefully.

Who is going to kill me, I have not set up an enemy in the court, nor have I contradicted anyone. No, contradictory. Yu Nian suddenly stopped. Today in the inner room of the Imperial Palace, the emperor.
