Concubine Jade said, "I encountered this bandit once, and I'm afraid it won't happen again. There are very few bandits on the mountain road of Ruyuan Temple. You may have been unlucky that time. It's better that you are fine. Bring more guards next time you go out.
"
Yun Buhui nodded with a smile, "Who says it's not the case? The government hasn't found out about this matter yet. We have reported it several times. I heard that the prefect meant that it was done by people in the government and wanted to investigate the environment in the government. The prince said that the family
Why is the person investigating? He trusts his family, so this matter is delayed. I think it means, aunt, how about asking the third brother to follow him to investigate? The prince does not want to doubt his family anyway, I am afraid that something will happen again, third brother
He has a tight mouth and has experience in doing this..."
"No!" Concubine Yu's voice trembled, and she suddenly interrupted Yun Buhui. Yun Buhui looked at her blankly, as if he didn't understand why she was so excited. Concubine Yu forced a smile, "Buhui
Ah, since the Crown Prince said that this matter is none of the family’s business, then don’t investigate anymore and let Mu Dong handle this matter, as it won’t offend anyone.”
Yun Buhui said, "My aunt is worried about Buhui and not thinking carefully about it. But this matter always makes me uneasy. It is related to the safety of the prince. As a wife, Buhui always thinks about her husband's safety and long life."
age."
"I don't regret it. It's been so long since this happened, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find out anything."
"Yes, after such a long time, I still blame the prince for his tolerance and kindness that allowed the murderer to go free." Yun Buhui said angrily, "Auntie, you don't know how ruthless those bandits are, killing them without looking for wealth.
It was clear that he was ordered to die. The prince never left the palace, and there were very few people who could harm him. As soon as the prefect started handling the case, he would thoroughly investigate everyone in the palace. The prince stopped him, saying that it was not appropriate to disturb the family.
, this matter must not have been done by his family, he asked the prefect to investigate elsewhere. If the best time to investigate is wrong, it will be difficult to investigate in the future."
"Do you think he is from the palace?" Concubine Yu asked.
Yun Buhui smiled faintly, "I don't doubt anyone, I just check everyone if I think it is necessary. I have never done it before, so I am not afraid of checking. The prince is too kind-hearted. Auntie, where can you find someone like him? He was hacked
He is still unwilling to investigate after just one knife, and would rather lose his life than doubt his family. He is really a fool."
The concubine Jade murmured to herself, "Yes."
Yun Buhui chuckled. Concubine Yu's face was pale and her hands were hidden in her sleeves. She guessed that her palms must be sweaty. From the day she entered the palace, she paid careful attention to the relationship between the concubine and the concubines.
Their preferences determine their character. The princess is steady and majestic, and is fair in dealing with things. Concubine Yun is gentle and soft, but jealous and vicious. Concubine Li is sharp and mean, but has a harmless heart. Concubine Yu is gentle, generous, and knowledgeable.
She admitted that she had misjudged the truth. The concubine Jade had a vicious heart hidden under her knowledge. She did not expect that she planned so many things behind the palace. She hid it well and never showed any flaws, unless it was a robber.
, Cheng Mubai became suspicious and went to check old things, but none of them knew her true face. Yun Buhui had been in the palace for more than a year, and Concubine Yu cared for her, whether it was false or pretentious, she was grateful. So.
When she knew that the robber was arranged by her, she was surprised.
She had been thinking about how to deal with this matter. She saw that Concubine Yu was vicious but not a heartless person. Cheng Mubai thought of Cheng Mudong and put the matter aside. She kept looking for Concubine Yu's weakness, which was Cheng Mudong.
.
Comparing her feelings, if she had a son, she would definitely not want her son to know that she had made an unforgivable mistake, and she would also be afraid that her son would not be able to forgive her for her cruelty.
"No regrets, don't let Mu Dong get involved, I beg you." Concubine Yu begged, "Don't let Mu Dong investigate, I don't want him to offend anyone."
It was difficult for Yun Buhui to act as he had done, and he was silent. The concubine Yu became more and more anxious. Yun Buhui finally relaxed, "Since the aunt is not willing, then I won't say anything. The prince also said that this matter should be dropped and that it will not be mentioned in the future. Then.
Forget it, if this happens again, I will definitely trouble my third brother."
Concubine Jade smiled reluctantly, lowered her head, and agreed.
Yun Buhui was completely relieved. She believed in a mother's nature, and she believed that Concubine Jade would definitely not disappoint Cheng Mudong.
…
Cheng Mubai just came back. Yun Buhui was reading a book and almost fell asleep. No matter when Cheng Mubai came back, she would leave a light waiting for him, and she had to wait even more today to talk about concubinage.
First thing, let’s talk about the Jade Concubine.
When Yun Buhui came out, Lingxi brought him tea. In the cold spring night, he drank the tea to warm his body. He coughed slightly, and Lingxi brought him hot lotus seed soup. Cheng Mubai looked very tired.
Lingxi had no appetite, so he withdrew. Lingxin brought the copper basin in, and Yun Buhui took it, "You all go down and have a rest. I'll just serve you."
"Yes!" The two of them exited, and Cheng Mubai laughed hoarsely, "Just let them do these things."
"I am your wife, so naturally I want to serve you." Under the light, his wife's smile was as bright as a flower and as gentle as water. Cheng Mubai's fatigue also turned into the spring breeze and dissipated, and the whole person felt peaceful and comfortable. Beside her was his destination,
As long as she was there, he felt calm and warm.
Yun Buhui took off his robe, helped him put on his moon-white pajamas, carefully tied his belt, and helped him wash his face and feet. She squatted beside him, slowly soaking his feet in hot water,
The soft skin was close to the instep of his feet, and he could feel her delicacy and gentleness. Cheng Mubai's feet had never seen the sun, and the skin on the insteps was fairer than his face. The toes were very long and not as round as a girl's.
The shape is very beautiful.
Yun Buhui dried his feet with a clean towel and put on shoes for him. Cheng Mubai asked, "What did you do today?"
"Taking care of some trivial matters, chatting with mother, and chatting with Aunt Yu for a while." Yun Buhui said with a smile, and Cheng Mubai said, "Are you in a bad mood? You didn't even talk much."
"Don't sleep yet. I have something to tell you later." Yun Buhui raised his head and smiled, carrying the copper basin out. Lingxi fetched water for her to wash her hands. After cleaning up, she entered the inner room. Cheng Mubai lay down and closed his eyes.
With his eyes closed, he didn't know whether he had fallen asleep or not.
"Xiao Bai..." Yun Buhui shouted several times, but Cheng Mubai didn't respond. She went to bed and was no longer sleepy. Cheng Mubai suddenly turned over and stretched his long arm across her waist, "What instructions do you have, madam?"
Yun Bugui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He nestled next to her, closing his eyes tiredly, looking like he needed sleep very much. The temptations that Yun Buhui had accumulated all day turned into flying smoke. He was already very tired, but she wanted to play tricks with him.
What kind of wife is she? But if I ask directly, she can’t ask.
People who are too thoughtful tend to speak tactfully. She was annoyed by her lack of straightforwardness, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Go to sleep, madam, I have no instructions." Yun Buhui said softly, gently running her fingers along his hair. Cheng Mubai soon fell asleep. Yun Buhui was so worried that he fell asleep after tossing and turning in the middle of the night.
The next day, she woke up earlier than him.
After washing up, she saw Lingxi carrying a pile of clothes to wash in the yard. She noticed with sharp eyes that there were blood stains on the clothes. Yun Buhui pursed her lips and called Lingxi when she went out. Lingxi didn't expect that she got up so early, and her clothes subconsciously fell
Hiding behind her, Yun Buhui walked up to her and asked, "Whose clothes are those?"
"The Crown Prince and Jingnan's..." Lingxi replied, tremblingly.
Yun Buhui said, "Show me."
Lingxi shook her head, and suddenly her hand was empty. Bingyue had already reached behind her with a smile and grabbed the clothes. When she raised her hand, a purulent smell came to her face. Bingyue was startled, and Yun Buhui reached out to take it.
When she came over to take a look, Cheng Mubai's cloak was stained with a large amount of blood, and Jing Nan's clothes were also stained with blood. Her expression changed slightly. She didn't see any wounds when she was changing clothes for him last night. Whose blood stains are these?
"The Crown Princess..." Lingxi called out hesitantly, and Bingyue asked blankly, "Where did there come from so much blood? Are the Crown Prince and Jing Nan injured?"
Cheng Mubai's cloak was stained with blood, and Jing Nan's outer robe was also stained with blood.
"Is Jingnan okay?" Yun Buhui asked.
Lingxi said, "He is fine and went out early in the morning."
Yun Buhui nodded and gave the clothes to Lingxi, "Then go and wash them."
After Lingxi saluted, he hurriedly walked away. Bingyue said, "Miss, what did they do? They killed people and set fires. Why did they end up like this? Lingxi looks very ordinary. It seems like this all the time."
Yun Buhui glanced at Bingyue and said, "Go prepare breakfast, I'm hungry."
"Miss, why are you so early today? The prince hasn't gotten up yet."
"Get up soon, go get ready."
Bingyue said oh, Lingxinren was also in the kitchen. They were making breakfast together in the small kitchen. Yun Buhui returned to the inner room with a basin of hot water. Cheng Mubai happened to get up. When she was changing clothes for him, her palm was on his
After touching her body, Cheng Mubai couldn't laugh or cry, so he whispered something into her ear. The tip of Yun Buhui's ear was stained with blood, and he punched him in the lower abdomen. Cheng Mubai laughed and made sure that he was not injured. Yun Buhui was relieved.
After Cheng Mubai washed up, Lingxin and Bingyue served breakfast, white porridge, four plates of side dishes, a plate of steamed dumplings, and a plate of crystal cakes, all delicious and delicious. Cheng Mubai was very hungry. The breakfast was delicious. Yun Buhui
With a wink, Lingxin and Bingyue exited.
"What's the matter with the blood stains on the clothes?" Yun Buhui asked. Cheng Mubai raised his head. He took a sip of the small white porridge. After being quiet for a long time, Yun Buhui stared at him with a smile. Cheng Mubai sighed, "This girl from Lingxi is really not good.
careful."
Yun Buhui nodded and agreed with what he said. Cheng Mubai said, "If I said that Jing Nan and I were assassinated when we went out, would you believe it?"
"Do not believe!"
"Why?"
"No reason, I just don't believe it." Yun Buhui said, "You go out every day and come back in the middle of the night, and you are assassinated every time? This is too coincidental. Lingxi seems to be used to cleaning up your messes."
"Madam..." Cheng Mubai cried with tears in his eyes. Yun Buhui looked at him with a smile. Cheng Mubai was frustrated and said, "Madam, my husband must be careful and careful in the future, and I will not let my wife see blood stains again."
"What did you do?" Yun Buhui asked. Cheng Mubai deliberately avoided her topic, which made Yun Buhui very annoyed. "Xiaobai, I don't necessarily know what you did, but you are my husband and you come back in the middle of the night.
It's still covered in blood, so you can either hide it and never let me know, or you can confess it."
Cheng Mubai noticed that she was really angry. There was no smile on Yun Buhui's face. She suddenly stood up and walked to the inner room. She had held back her words last night. She encountered such a disturbing thing this morning.
It would be strange not to be angry.
This was the first time she had looked at him since they got married. Cheng Mubai smiled bitterly, his wife had to be coaxed, so he chased after her. Yun Buhui sat on the bed, too lazy to pay attention to him. Cheng Mubai hugged her and coaxed her.
Regrettably indifferent, she said, "Cheng Mubai, I don't like this feeling. I don't like it very much. There is pressure on me everywhere in this house. My mother wants me... Forget it, you don't understand. Nothing has gone well recently."
That’s all, you’re still hiding all your secrets from me, and you didn’t even tell me when I asked you. Even Lingxi knows things, but you didn’t tell me. What’s the deal? What kind of wife do I think you are?”
"No regrets!" Cheng Mubai didn't understand why she was so angry that she forgot her words for a moment. Yun Buhui wiped her eyes, but she didn't shed tears. She just wiped her face subconsciously and laughed at herself, "Forget it, what?
Don't even tell me, I don't want to know either."
As soon as she stood up, Cheng Mubai clasped her wrist and brought her into his arms. Yun Buhui raised his hand and hit him on the chest. He was getting more and more upset. Cheng Mubai let her vent his blows and suddenly raised her chin and kissed her. She struggled to dodge, and he
Following her like a shadow, due to the huge disparity in strength, Yun Buhui fell silent. She felt aggrieved inexplicably, and tears actually fell from the corners of her eyes... The princess forced her to have a child, and persuaded Cheng Mubai to take a concubine. Concubine Yun hated her to the core, and she wanted to
To mediate the conflict between Yu Zhi and Yu Wu, she had to please the princess and calm the conflict in the heart of the concubine Yu. There was no one she could confide in. She thought Cheng Mubai and she were of the same mind, but he also had so many secrets, and he had them all
She was extremely worried about the blood all over her body. If by any chance, the blood was his, she would lose her husband. He didn't even tell her the truth, so she let him worry blindly.
How could she not feel aggrieved?
"Good boy, stop crying, stop crying, I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything..." Cheng Mubai surrendered and kissed her tears. Her eyes were full of pity and heartache. Yun Buhui pouted.
Without saying anything, the more Cheng Mubai looked at her, the more she felt that this little person was really cute. He couldn't help but peck her on the lips. She blushed and looked away, and Cheng Mubai held her in his arms.
"Buhui, I'm working for Uncle Huang. This matter is confidential. I don't want too many people to know about it, and Lingxi doesn't know either. She's just sensible enough to hide it for me." Cheng Mubai said, Yun Buhui was startled, Uncle Huang
…
emperor?
"What to do?"
Cheng Mubai said, "Some things that are not on the table, such as gathering intelligence and assassination."
Yun Buhui was taken aback, and couldn't believe that Cheng Mubai would be associated with such dirty things. Her husband was as pure as a fox, cunning as a fox, but not a bloodthirsty and cruel person. How could he do such a job?
Cheng Mubai said, "The situation between the DPRK and China has been unstable in the past few years. Uncle Huang has no one he can trust, and the relationship between his cousins is not very good. He is always staring at the dragon chair, and he is exhausted mentally and physically. This matter was originally
The one who fell on the father's head was the emperor's younger brother, but the father was unwilling to do it, so the emperor asked me and I agreed." He glanced at Yun Buhui and continued, "Eradicate dissidents.
Cutting the grass and rooting out the roots are all things that are not on the table. There are some ministers in the court who are difficult to discipline, and it is inconvenient to do it openly, so they can only be eradicated secretly. Whoever has evil intentions in the court should be eradicated before causing harm. It is better to kill them by mistake.
One thousand, don't let anyone go. There must always be people around the emperor who do these dirty things. If my father doesn't want to do it, naturally I will do it."
"Mu Bai..."
Cheng Mubai held her hand and said, "No one will notice me. The palace has moved out of the capital, and some princes with foreign surnames are no longer wary of us. No one will notice me, the crown prince who is lingering on the sick bed, so I am the most suitable one."
.”
"Then you...killed someone yesterday?"
Cheng Mubai looked at her and stretched out his clean and white hands, "Are you scared?"
Yun Buhui slapped him in the palm of his hand, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my husband, and you are not killing me when you kill someone. What should I be afraid of?"
The ice on Cheng Mubai's face turned into sunshine, and he suddenly kissed her face, "It's best not to regret it."
Yun Buhui pushed his face away, "Does your father know that you are doing these things?"
Cheng Mubai shook his head, and Yun Buhui thought to himself, it is indeed true. The prince is in his prime and has good skills. If he is not willing to do these things, the emperor will blame it on Cheng Mubai. Is this how the co-author and his family will take advantage of him? She is a little unhappy, and even feels sorry for Cheng Mubai.
Struggling to live in the darkness. Although her husband is not a good man and a religious woman by nature, and his city is deep, he is definitely not a person who hides in the darkness and cannot see the sun.
"Have you killed many people?" Yun Buhui asked.
Cheng Mubai hesitated, and finally nodded honestly, "Yes, guilty and innocent, too many to count. As long as Uncle Huang gives an order, I will execute it. I am his knife and his sword. He pronounces the verdict. I
implement."
"If they were innocent people, would you also kill them?"
"As long as the emperor asks me to kill someone, I will kill him. I have no choice. I just listen to his judgment. I am just an executioner. The person who executes the execution does not care whether the person is really guilty or not." Cheng Mubai said.
Yun Buhui knew that it was not his fault, and what he said was very true, but he still felt cold, as if he was meeting Cheng Mubai for the first time, and saw everything about him clearly for the first time.
Yun Buhui thought about everything calmly. He was born in the royal family and could not help himself. Whether he wanted to or not, as he said, he had no choice. She smiled at him and said, "Be careful in the future and don't hurt yourself."
.”
He seemed stunned. He didn't expect to pass the test so easily. Girls always feel disgusted when they hear such bloody things. They know that their husband is an executioner hiding in the dark and specializing in doing dirty things.
She would always reject him, but Yun Buhui didn't.
Does she really not care?
He had never dared to let Yun Buhui know that she was too bright and clean. He was covered in filth and sin. He had long since dared not count how many people he had killed and how many crimes he had committed. He was afraid that Yun Buhui would be disgusted and knew that
After being so unbearable, I left the palace and him.
He was born in the royal family. In order to protect the Cheng family, he gave all of himself. Everything he did in these years was for the Cheng family, even if he was accidentally killed, even if he could only hide in the darkness and blood forever, crawling alone.
But he has no regrets. The royal family gave him a noble status and supreme glory, but he had to pay the price. Hiding in the darkness, being an executioner was the price he had to pay.
He understood and struggled, but finally accepted his fate.
Yun Buhui wouldn't know that since they got married, he didn't dare to hug her every time he came back, and he didn't dare to tell her where he went. He had washed the blood clean, but he still didn't dare to touch her.
He always felt that he had too many innocent souls on his hands to claim his life, so he did not dare to touch Yun Buhui for fear of dragging her into this abyss.
"you do not mind?"
"What should I mind?" Yun Buhui smiled brightly, "You just need to protect yourself."
"No regrets!" He suddenly hugged her, and his original choice was indeed right.
She is the only miracle in his life and his only salvation.
Among all living beings, her smile is his only hope.
No regrets, no regrets...my no regrets.
The days quickly arrived in July, and the lotus flowers bloomed again, and the Blue Moon Corridor once again became a place for flower appreciation. Although the conflicts between the people in the East and West Gardens were not resolved, they always maintained a calm appearance and often enjoyed the lotuses together.
The blue moon corridor in summer is so beautiful.
Yun Buhui thought that if there was any place that was most beautiful in Fengcheng in July, it would be the Blue Moon Corridor. Every time she was at the Blue Moon Corridor, she could always think of the beautiful lotus flowers blooming all over the lake on her birthday that year.
Yuzhi and Bingyue rowed a boat to pick lotus flowers. Yuwu stayed quietly beside Yun Buhui. Yun Buhui smiled and asked, "Do you miss your brother?"
Lou Kaiyang has been in the capital for several months. A small problem arose and he had to deal with King Zhao, so he couldn't make it back in time. Yu Wu blushed, lowered her head and said nothing. She was so charming and charming that Yun Buhui couldn't express it.
He didn't tease her either.
People from Xiyuan were sitting and chatting at the stone table next door. Lou Yanran and Yu Rong had a good relationship. Concubine Yun was chatting and laughing with Concubine Yu. Yu Rong said, "Sister-in-law, let's go pick lotus flowers too.
Put one in the house, it looks pretty, and my brother likes it too."
"real?"
"Really!" Yu Rong nodded, smiled and pulled Lou Yanran to stand up. After taking two steps, Lou Yanran suddenly staggered, clutching her chest and suddenly fell softly on Yu Rong. Yu Rong exclaimed, "Sister-in-law...
