Gong Yueyue's delicate fingertips placed on the red sandalwood round table were trembling violently. After a moment of silence, she urged: "Unification is an unavoidable torrent. If Lord Pan thinks that marrying a Northern Qin princess can avoid war,
Then Master Pan is too naive!"
The front of her eyes became vaguely blurred. Gong Yueyue's thin body was shaking like the falling leaves in late autumn. Her chest was rising and falling violently as she spoke. She said softly: "Master Pan, please go down. I'm tired today."
Unexpectedly, Pan Yun had no intention of leaving. He said loudly: "The matters that the foreign minister came to discuss with the fourth princess today have not been discussed yet. Pan Yun cannot leave!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to reach a deadlock, Bai Ji, who had been waiting at the door of the outer hall to watch the situation, suddenly turned around and walked in with a smile. She smiled and said softly: "Our princess is delicate, I hope Master Pan will understand."
After a pause, Bai Ji stared at Pan Yun quietly, her eyes slightly raised, and continued: "Master Pan, please come this way." Seeing the deep meaning secretly conveyed in Bai Ji's eyes, Pan Yun stood up immediately and said: "
Sorry to trouble the Fourth Princess, Pan Yun takes his leave."
Not understanding the deep meaning of Pan Yun's words, Bai Ji asked doubtfully: "It is the duty of a prince to quell rebellion for the country. Why did Master Pan say that this is not allowed?"
With a long sigh, Pan Yun said worriedly: "The prince listened to the Taoist priest and became suspicious of the fourth prince, lest he seize the position of the East Palace. If the fourth prince makes military achievements again, his prestige will exceed that of the prince, and the situation may become even more chaotic."
Turning back and staring at the silent Bai Ji, Pan Yun sighed: "I came here today just to ask the fourth princess to deal with it, so that your majesty will give up the idea of sending the fourth prince to go on an expedition. It is time for the prince to go and vindicate himself!"
With a faint glint in her eyes, Bai Ji said solemnly: "Whoever holds the South Vietnamese army will be the target of public criticism. After all, the fourth prince is not a prince. Judging from his status, he has indeed committed the crime of being a man of great merit.
avoid!"
With a slight frown on her brows, Bai Ji pondered: "Master Pan, do you want us, the princess, to keep the fourth prince here for the sake of our children's affection?"
Facing Bai Ji's inquiring eyes, Pan Yun nodded calmly and whispered: "The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. In fact, the fourth prince has no intention of seizing the throne, but the Yin Jieyu sisters in the harem need to be on guard. The prince is going to fight.
, the fourth prince staying in the palace can also prevent further actions of the Yin family."
Looking at Pan Yun's gloomy face, Bai Ji's heart suddenly became clear, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Master Pan, I am really impressed by your painstaking efforts."
While speaking, Bai Ji raised her eyelashes slightly, stared at the gloomy sky, and said softly: "I will try my best to persuade the princess, Lord Pan, don't worry."
Gong Yueyue stood stunned in front of the wide-open Xihong wooden window. The strong autumn wind blew over her petite face, and her eyebrow hair was blown away, spreading messily on her smooth forehead.
"Girl, it's windy, so you'd better close the window." Po Li walked quietly to Gong Yueyue's side and said softly.
Gong Yueyue turned her head quietly, staring at Po Li's snow-skinned red lips that became more prominent in the dim light, and said in a low voice: "Do you know why I always like to face the wind?"
Po Li stared at Gong Yueyue's pale face with pity, and saw the sparkle in her beautiful eyes. He shook his head and sighed: "You are just too worried."
Gong Yueyue smiled faintly, turned away, and said softly: "Every time I want to cry, I will try to open my eyes wide and let the wind dry away my accumulated tears."
The strong wind diluted her lonely words and carried them to Po Li's ears, carrying with them a sense of loneliness.
Po Li knew that she was sentimental about leaving Northern Qin again. Thinking of his wandering life experience, he couldn't help but blush slightly and whispered: "Why are you doing this? Since you have already come to Lin'an, why not relax?
Live your life well. Why don’t you just forget about those things in the past!"
After saying that, Po Li lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, secretly feeling sad. Hearing the same sense of frustration in her tone, Gong Yueyue's small white hand suddenly held Po Li's cold hand, and said solemnly: "Have you forgotten?
The kind of happiness that my parents made me happy with!? No, I can't forget it. I was originally a free man in Luoyang, but I had no choice but to get caught up in the palace battle."
"Poli, I long for the kind of true freedom, instead of being shackled in a silent palace where I can only see one side of the sky! I don't love my husband, and my husband doesn't love me either. The two of them love each other.
How can people who miss each other live together, and how can they pretend to be husband and wife for the rest of their lives!?"
Gong Yueyue's chest heaved violently, her eyes revealed a sad light, and she said in a painful voice: "Po Li, I can't forget, and I don't want to forget either!"
Feeling the faint warmth from Gong Yueyue's soft white palms, Po Li also suppressed the sorrow and tears in his belly, and whispered: "I am different from you, at least I still have your parents in Luoyang. But.
I have nothing left, I am all alone. When I dream back at midnight, when I think of my parents who died unjustly, I feel fear and tremble and cannot control myself. Northern Qin is my sad place."
Gong Yueyue's face showed an unprecedented look of perseverance as her deep eyes lightly brushed over the sycamore branches and leaves that were swayed in all directions by the strong autumn wind.
After a moment of silence, Gong Yueyue's eyes gradually gathered, and a heavy complexion covered her beautiful cheeks, and she said in a deep voice: "From today on, I will never shed a tear again! I can no longer let others control the rest of my life.
!”
Gong Yueyue turned her head lightly, and Gong Yueyue's clear eyes suddenly fell on Bai Ji's calm face, wondering: "What ideas are you asking me for?"
Seeing that Gong Yueyue's mood was better than during the day, Bai Ji said calmly: "There are rebels in the southern Fujian territory of the South Vietnam Kingdom that need to be punished. Your Majesty wants the fourth prince to go out to fight."
Secretly thinking about Bai Ji's words, Gong Yueyue said in confusion: "As a royal family, it is a good thing to go out to fight against rebellion."
With a faint smile, Gong Yueyue unconsciously had a different kind of joke on her lips, and said softly: "Master Pan is really worrying too much."
Gong Yueyue was smiling softly, her clear eyes flicked across Bai Ji's solemn face. Seeing her bright eyes and hidden content, Gong Yueyue immediately put away her smile and said doubtfully: "Is it possible?
, is there anything inappropriate in it?”
Bai Ji nodded gently, her calm eyes flashed sternly, and she lowered her voice and said: "Prince Zhao Hongji is beginning to be suspicious of the fourth prince. This summer, the fourth prince went to southern Fujian and won military honors. Now there is a rumor in the palace that he has a double eye.
The appearance of an emperor. Master Pan means..."
After a pause, Bai Ji looked behind her cautiously, then leaned forward and whispered into Gong Yueyue's ear: "If your skills exceed the prince's, I'm afraid your life will be at stake!"
Gong Yueyue's green and white eyebrows frowned sadly, and there was a look of regret in her beautiful eyes. Thinking of the scene at the family banquet in the main hall not long ago, Gong Yueyue's heart suddenly tightened, and she said solemnly: "Is there nothing else?
Is there any way around it?"
Bai Ji sighed softly, stared at the dark night, and said in a low voice: "The prince was bewitched by a traitor, so he pointed the finger at the fourth prince. In fact, the one in the palace who really wanted to seize the legitimate son was sister Yin Jieyu.
