At dinner, the three of them ate quietly as if they had reached some kind of consensus, and no one mentioned Qiu Xin again.

The emperor and queen gave Ah Yun vegetables from time to time, but he didn't move, "from time to time" became "occasionally".

Seeing that the dishes in his bowl were getting higher and higher, but there was no sign of abating, the emperor couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it to taste?" ”

"No, just not too hungry."

"Eat a little bit, it's rare to be together."

"Yes, Father."

Accept it with an open heart and die without repentance.

The Emperor gave up the exhortation.

"Earlier, Ling Yue entered the palace to heal Shi Jing, why didn't you come along?"

In his impression, where the little girl goes, where the son goes, for fear that one of them will fly away without care!

"Back to my father, my sons and daughters have to study with the prince, and often entering the palace will arouse suspicion."

"What about doubt? You were my son! Ah Yun, if you don't come back, don't live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You're going to barracks, you're going to be ambitious, it's up to you. ”

Whenever he saw Ye Liwu dressed in clothes and calling him "Father", he thought of Ah Yun.

He is his royal son, but every time father and son meet, they have to avoid others.

He didn't want to.

Ah Yun's chopsticks stopped, and he only said that he wanted to wait.

The queen smiled slightly, as he pleased.

The Emperor dismissed that thought for a moment, and sighed thoughtfully.

After the meal, Ah Yun wanted to leave the palace.

The emperor said, "I am just going to the Yilan Palace, let's go together." ”

The queen looked at the proud backs of the father and son disappearing in front of her, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

After walking for a while, there was silence for a while.

At the fork in the road, the emperor stopped.

A pair of deep eyes are as deep as the night, even Ah Yun can't grasp the thoughts of this biological father.

"How does the Taishi treat you?"

"Knowledgeable and teaching by word and deed, the sons and daughters have benefited a lot."

The emperor smiled faintly: "Then you have to study hard." Guan Yushi, often go to the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

I intuitively felt that he was asking a lot of meaning.

"I don't go often, and occasionally I visit Taishi and Yue'er."

The emperor followed up and asked, "When Ling Yue went to the Furong Hall to heal the scene, who did he ask for?" Ning Guifei or Guan Yushi? ”

When Guan Yunhuan spoke to Ling Yue, Ah Yun was beside him, and he knew the origin of the relationship between him and Ning Guifei.

The emperor must have been suspicious when he asked.

Seeing that he was just contemplating and not speaking, the emperor patted him on the shoulder.

"Do you still want to hide it from your father?"

The cool breeze blows the leaves on the branches and rattles.

"Ying Ning Guifei's request."

The Emperor regained a faint smile, sighing with a hint of self-deprecation.

"After the turmoil between the nobles and Xue Tian, my father is more or less a soldier."

Yun understood.

If it was replaced by Ling Yue, he would also choose to be confused, because he couldn't afford to lose.

I don't know where the courage came from, maybe he didn't need courage at all, because he was not afraid.

"What the father values most in his heart is Concubine Ning or the queen mother? Or is it a nobleman? ”

His gaze was fixed, like the wind of the hour.

It's cold, but it doesn't make people feel cold.

The emperor was only stunned and laughed.

After smiling, his eyes darkened.

"Ah Yun, in a few years, you will find this question you asked me ridiculous. The gentleman's heart is like water, and he will not stay for a certain woman. The heartbeat of youth will change with the passage of time, becoming dependence and habit. Others become forgotten and tired. What has not changed is a growing obsession with power. ”

"But the father hasn't answered the son's question yet."

His insistence surprised the Emperor and patted him on the shoulder.

"You still don't understand me."

He left, and Ah Yun understood.

He doesn't love anyone, no matter which woman he is, some are just the heart of the past or the heart of the present.

He is a soldier, but he is possessive.

His stuff was coveted, which he did not allow.

Ah Yun is a little comforted, the emperor is not affectionate, Qiu Xin's favor is temporary, as long as you put some effort into it, it is not difficult to get rid of her!

At the same time he was a little scared, and he thought of himself.

He was no less possessive than the emperor.

The difference is that he is only interested in one person.

Will there be a day when he, like the emperor, is full of power and lust for profit, and loses his girl?

What would she do to him?

She is not in awe of imperial power like the queen and Ning Guifei, she will leave him and let him never see her again.

The emperor's figure had disappeared into the night, and Ah Yun was still standing in place.

A kind of desolation in life.

When he returned to Lanyue Xuan, Ling Yue had not yet slept, and was swinging leisurely on the swing.

Cold Moon in Hantang, she was dressed in white, which reminded Ah Yun of the young girl Su'e mentioned in the book.

"Feeling bad?" She asked him.

He helped her push the swing and said casually, "A little, but I can't say why." ”

She smiled: "The autumn wind is bleak, the grass and trees are shaken down, and the faction is slaughtered, which will be inexplicably sad." When the sun comes out tomorrow, the mood will naturally be good. ”

"It's good to see you're in the mood."

He wanted her to promise that no matter what happened in the future, she would not leave him and not give up on him.

But why?

If he snubbed her and hurt her, why did she guard him?

"I'll be good to you, I won't let you down."

"Huh?"

Cold confession, Ling Yue was confused. It seems to be getting more irritated lately!

"What's wrong, Ayun? What's wrong? ”

He smiled at her, his bright eyes covered with a thin haze.

"Nothing. Yue'er, enter the palace tomorrow and help me go to the queen mother for treatment. ”

The queen's complexion was even worse, and she was still shy about illness and avoiding doctors, and Cuiyun was reprimanded by her several times when she wanted to pass on the imperial doctor.

"If you don't want to see the imperial doctor, do you want to see me?" Ling Yue joked, she didn't think she had that much face.

"I told her yes, and she was willing."

His eyes were tired, as if he had something on his mind, and he was urged by her to be anxious, and his head hung lower.

Not wanting her to be uneasy again, he never mentioned the conversation with the emperor, and chose a relatively light topic.

"I'm used to living here, and I don't want to move out."

She was dumbfounded, who let him move?

"Your father?"

"Hmm."

She smiled suddenly, her eyes blinking.

"But you're going to have to move out sooner or later, will it be possible that you'll be in trouble in the future?"

It was his turn to be dumbfounded.

At this time, the little girl added: "I don't mind! ”

Ah Yun shook her head helplessly, scratched the tip of her upturned nose, she could really say anything!

The next day, Ling Yue went to Fengqi Hall first, and was surprised to find that the queen's weakness was not caused by palpitations, but poisoning.

As for the time of the poisoning, it was roughly calculated, at least before Ah Yun begged her to cure her heart palpitations.

If she insisted on checking her pulse that time, she might have recovered sooner.

In this deep palace inner courtyard, who will harm the master of the harem?

Who has the guts to do that?

She told the queen truthfully, which surprised her inexplicably, and then shuddered.

There are many concubines in the harem, and they will go to Fengqi Hall every day to ask for peace, if you want to investigate, it is too difficult!

Cuiyun trembled and knelt down, his face pale.

She is the palace maid in charge of Fengqi Palace, and she didn't even find out that her master was poisoned silently, which is a serious dereliction of responsibility.

The queen did not let her get up, her eyes were cold.

"If you are wrong, you must be punished. If this palace continues to be tolerant, I don't know when I was killed! ”

A palm slapped on the case, although there is not much strength, but the deterrent effect is extremely strong.

Cuiyun was fined thirty boards, and the rest of the palace people were fined twenty, and they were fined for one year.

The whole palace knew about the poisoning of the queen, and the concubines were like frightened birds, and when they went to ask for peace, they all cheered up, for fear of being angry.

The emperor handed over the investigation of the case to Bai Yi and ordered him to solve the case within half a month.
