Yun Xihe looked at the bright yellow letter spread out, and dipped his pen in the well-ground ink. Just when he was about to write, he suddenly hesitated.

Since Chu Hong, the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was extremely cruel, it would be difficult for such a person to be affectionate and reasonable with him. The best way to convince him is to use violence to fight violence.

Yun Xihe put down the brush, looked at her white and tender fingertips, and suddenly made up her mind to reach out and bite it. A drop of bright red blood immediately emerged from her fingertips. She squeezed and let the drop of blood fall into the

On paper, "This is how it works!"

Qin Xuanling looked at her with a distressed expression, "Doesn't it hurt?"

Yun Xihe waved his hand, then picked up the imperial jade seal on the side, dipped it in ink pad, and evenly covered it on the letter paper. He said with a smile, "That must be painful, how about I try to bite you?"

"

Qin Xuanling thought for a while, and then he extended his hand, "...let's try it."

Yun Xihe slapped his paw away with disgust, "Don't make trouble."

She is not a dog, so why is she biting someone when she has nothing to do?

She carefully folded the letter urging surrender and handed it to the messenger who was waiting to deliver the letter. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare to return to Chang'an City.

After all, I came out secretly this time. After the important things were done, I had to go back quickly, otherwise if people knew about it, there might not be any more trouble.

She sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, looked at the bright sun outside, and suddenly said with emotion, "I haven't taken Xian'er with me for three days. It's so relaxing."

"..." Qin Xuanling said, "The child is his biological child, right?"

Yun Xihe rolled his eyes at him, "No, I picked it up on the roadside."

Qin Xuanling smiled and hummed, "That's a good pick. I'll pick up a few more later."

Yun Xihe, "..." Qin Xuanling, you really don't feel pain when you stand and talk, your love is not your fault, right?

Xiaotang coughed slightly, silently moved outside the carriage, and sat on the shaft of the carriage with Ah Mo, eyes wide open, as they drove.

"..." Yun Xihe looked at Qin Xuanling, "Seriously, after these things are over, shouldn't it be time to find a wife for Xian'er?"

"I was thinking about it." There was some calculation in Qin Xuanling's voice, "Pei Yu is a very talented person. It would be a waste to just be an Imperial College minister... The most important thing is that after Xi'er gave birth to a daughter of him, he will

There is a lot of research in raising children. Let him go to the study to teach Xian'er, and then we can find some suitable reading companions for Xian'er later."

Yun Xihe said with a smile, "What a great idea!" It's great to have someone to help take care of the baby!

At this time, Pei Yu, who was far away in Chang'an, suddenly sneezed and kept far away from his daughter, for fear that the child would be infected with the disease.

When it was getting dark, he finally saw the gate of Chang'an City from a distance. He returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion through the secret passage and then returned to the palace through the back door. Yun Xihe rested for a while and then ordered Xiaotang to pick up Yun Wuxian.

Although I joked that the child was a little annoying, I still thought about it after not seeing him for a few days.

She took a sip of tea, looked at the night as dark as ink outside, and suddenly ordered Eunuch Liu, "Please, Eunuch, take me to see He'er."

The matter in Prince Xuan's house is not over yet.

At that time, she thought Wutong Mountain was important, so she didn't investigate thoroughly. Now that she is back from her work, she still needs to investigate clearly.

Eunuch Liu nodded naturally.

He'er was locked up in a dark room in the Criminal Division. She only wore a prison uniform made of coarse cloth with blood stains on it. She looked really miserable as she huddled in the corner. When the door opened, there was a bright light.

It was so painful that she could barely open her eyes.

Eunuch Liu sighed, "It must be that he was not working hard enough and received a few whips."

As soon as he raised his hand, someone immediately opened the lock. He'er heard the sound and raised his head to look this way.

She seemed to have expected that Yun Xihe would come to see her again. There was no surprise on her face and she said calmly, "Princess Xihe, you are here."

Before Yun Xihe could speak, the guard on the side, following Eunuch Liu's suggestion, diligently moved a clean chair over.

Yun Xihe nodded in greeting Weiwei and sat down opposite He'er, "You seem to have known that I would come?"

He'er sneered, "Princess Xihe, whether you come or not depends entirely on your own will. How can I know? But, when you come, I just have something to say to you."

Yun Xihe raised his eyebrows and said, "Say."

He'er hesitated for a moment, "Can you let them all go out? I just want to say this to you alone."

Yun Xihe smiled and said, "Okay."

Eunuch Liu on the side looked worried, "Princess..."

"No problem." Yun Xihe said, "Eunuch Liu, please go out first."

Eunuch Liu nodded, "Princess, my servant is staying at the door. If you need anything, just call me." After saying that, with a wink, everyone else in the cell also retreated.

Only Yun Xihe and He'er were left.

He'er's wrists and ankles were chained, limiting her range of movement. She tried hard to get up and maintain some dignity, but unfortunately she couldn't.

She tried hard for a few times, but it seemed that she had scratched the whip wound on her back. Her whole face was pale with pain, but she didn't seem to care very much. She just looked at Yun Xihe with a mocking look on her face, "Princess Xihe, you see

Aren't you very proud of me looking like this? As soon as you came back, the emperor disliked me so much and beat me like this. From now on, I will never be able to compete with you again."

Yun Xihe said, "What's so proud about this? I'm afraid you haven't heard of the bribery of beauties involved in the case of a concubine who killed his wife in Chang'an City a few years ago. He set up a frying pan in the street to interrogate the prisoner.

His methods are ten thousand times crueler than the whips he has given you now."

She paused and then said, "He'er, do you think he only touched you because you were an eyesore to me? You still haven't figured it out yet, I'm not the one you can touch."

He'er laughed and said, "Yes, you are Princess Xihe of Dashun and the eldest princess of Xiliang. You have a distinguished status and there are many people to protect you. Because of this, you will not let an ant like me go."

In the eyes."

She gritted her teeth, "But I was going to marry the emperor! I was almost able to marry him, you know? He has already asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare wedding clothes for me, why do you have to interfere?

!You are obviously a wife and mother in Xiliang, why do you want to come back to Dashun and seduce the emperor!"

Yun Xihe just looked at her quietly and said after a long time, "I came back to Dashun because he sent me a letter under the pretense that my grandmother was seriously ill. Besides... even if I don't come back,

Qin Xuanling will not marry you as his queen!"

"...I don't believe it! In the past four years, I was the only one beside him! He taught me to read and write, and everyone in the palace and outside the palace called me noble, and he acquiesced!"

Yun Xihe sighed, "He'er, why are you so stupid?"

She lowered her eyes and said, "Qin Xuanling is not a fool. The queen he wants is someone who can serve as the mother of a country and is worthy of standing by his side. Not to mention his life experience, you have been studying with him for several years, except for being jealous.

, what else have I learned?

? Know what needs to be solved urgently in today’s political affairs? Know which courtiers and family members should be won over and which should be suppressed? There is a severe drought in the northwest, floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and locust plagues in spring... What can you do as a member of the court?

"

He'er's eyes widened and she was quite unconvinced, "...the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."

"You can pretend to be stupid, but you can't really be stupid." Yun Xihe laughed sarcastically, "You don't really think that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, do you?"

"..." He'er lowered his head, bit his lips tightly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Yun Xihe said again, "I am not here today to preach to you. You have never learned how to make incense. Mixing ylang-ylang pollen into the ashes is not something you can think of. Tell me, who is behind this?"
