Yun Buhui divided the five hundred silver notes equally among the twenty slaves and asked them to disperse. If there was a chance in the future, they could come back. If there was no chance, they would settle down separately. This money would be enough for them to live for several days.
years.
After the slaves were dismissed, everyone's expressions were defeated and lost. Eunuch Xie sent people to urge them several times. They were reluctant to leave. This is the palace, their home. They have lived here for half their lives. They are nostalgic.
, weeping and comforting each other, but in our hearts we are afraid of the future. We don’t know when we can come back, maybe we will never come back in our lifetime.
Yu Rong and Yu Mei hugged each other and cried, Concubine Yu and Concubine Li's eyes were red and swollen, Concubine Yun's face was sullen, and the princess was in despair. Everyone in the palace was reluctant to leave, even Lou Yanran and Yun Buhui, they felt sorry for each other.
The palace also has indelible memories.
"Mother, can we come back?" Yu Rong asked, Concubine Yun shook her head, she didn't know, no one knew what the future would be like, Yu Mei held Concubine Li's hand tightly, Yu Zhi and Yu Wu
Accompanying his mother. They looked at each other in the courtyard, looking at each other and shedding tears.
An hour passed early, and Eunuch Xie was impatient to wait. The imperial guards came to urge them and drove them out of the palace. The concubines brought many things, and the pieces were thrown outside the palace by the imperial guards and scattered all over the place. Everyone.
The female family members were angry, and Yuzhi almost got into a fight with a guard. Yun Buhui pulled her anxiously. Eunuch Xie looked at them condescendingly, sealed the palace, and put a seal on it.
The heavy sound of the door closing sounded like a hammer in everyone's heart, making them feel heartache.
Tears burst out of the princess' eyes. Her home...their home was sealed off right in front of their eyes. This prominent vermilion door was closed so heavily in front of them. Will they ever have a day to come back?
The world was spinning before their eyes, and the sky seemed to have changed.
The onlookers pointed and pointed, some were sympathetic, some were watching the show, and everyone had different opinions. No one had thought that such a prominent palace as Prince Xuan would have such a miserable day.
Yu Zhi and other young girls cried in a miserable state. Lou Yanran and Yun Buhui reacted much coldly. They were both quiet people, and there was nothing visible on their faces. Lou Yanran was lost and angry, and eventually changed.
She had to be quiet. Ruyun had no regrets and it was an unchangeable fact. She never made too much effort. Now she was thinking about what to do in the future and how to deal with this change.
Eunuch Xie detained the palace guards, which were the guards given by the emperor. Now no one is allowed to follow them. Qingfeng was also detained. When he resisted, he was threatened with a knife by an imperial guard. He could only endure it. Cheng Mubai
Those die-hards were silent, only looking at Yun Buhui and listening to her wishes. Cheng Mubai was not here, so this was their master. Yun Buhui shook his head and signaled them not to act rashly, as they were outnumbered and unnecessary sacrifices could be avoided.
waived.
They are old, weak, women and children, so Eunuch Xie will not be in trouble.
The princess suddenly rushed in front of Eunuch Xie. She lowered her posture and begged Eunuch Xie to let her see the prince. Eunuch Xie said that the prince's crime was unpardonable and the emperor had ordered that no one was allowed to see him. The princess waved away Yu Wu's hand and said slowly
He slowly knelt down in front of Eunuch Xie, kowtowed three times, and then begged Eunuch Xie to open his eyes.
Everyone was so frightened that they did not expect the princess to kneel down in the street. No one came to help her. Eunuch Xie sneered and said, "If you want to meet, you can get one hundred thousand taels of silver." After that, he got on the sedan chair and walked away.
Yuzhi and Yuwu hurriedly rushed over to help the princess. She looked like a fish that had been separated from someone else, and her face was very ugly. Yun Buhui said, "Mother, this matter is not urgent. Let's find a place to stay first and then discuss it in the long term.
"
The princess nodded, and no one of the concubines objected. They packed their luggage, straightened their backs, and slowly left the palace amid the gossips, sympathy, and gloating eyes of everyone.
The vermilion door slowly moved away from them, and everyone's eyes were filled with tears.
All the properties of the palace were seized, and they were family members of the imperial convicts. I don’t know who gave the order, and all the inns in Fengcheng were not allowed to stay. They walked for a day, and after a day of exhaustion, they could not find a place to stay.
Yanran asked Qiu Shuang to go back to Lou's house to report the news, hoping that Lou Zhentian could take in the Wangfu family, but Lou Zhentian refused. The eldest lady wanted to go out and take Lou Yanran back, but Lou Zhentian cowered in the house, unable to move.
They were prisoners of the imperial court and family members in distress, so no one wanted to have anything to do with them.
There are many icings on the cake and few that provide help in times of need.
This is the case with the world.
Lou Yanran looked up to the sky and sighed, that was her father, the father who loved her the most, but she didn't expect that he would die without saving her.
In the evening, Bingyue returned to Yun Buhui and leaned over to say a few words to her. Yun Buhui said, "Mom, aunts, my brother has a villa in Nancheng, let's go and stay there."
They were hungry and tired. No one in Fengcheng was willing to take them in, no one was willing to rent a house to them, and no restaurant was even willing to receive them. The same was true for Yun Xinlou. This was Yun Buhui's order to Yun Xinlou.
They had long wanted to find a place to stay, but they all had no objections. Lou Yaoguang was already waiting for them at the door.
Friendship is revealed in times of crisis, and it was rare that she was willing to take him in. The princess was naturally grateful, but she was afraid of causing trouble to them. Lou Yaoguang said, "Princess, you are welcome, just how my brother feels about Princess Yuwu. Besides,
Yanran and Yun Buhui are both daughters-in-law of the palace, how could we not save them? If we don't talk to each other as a family, we are all tired, and the rooms have been tidied up. Let's tidy up first, and then we'll finish dinner."
However, just as he entered the villa, a group of Imperial Guards suddenly appeared at the door. The Fengcheng magistrate personally led people to surround the villa, and waved people to go in and search. Lou Yaoguang was furious, and Yun Buhui stretched out his hand to hold her, gently
Shaked his head.
They came to find Cheng Youtian and Cheng Mudong. They rummaged through the house violently and broke a lot of furniture. Lou Yaoguang was shaking with anger. In the end, no one was found. The princess looked at the prefect coldly. This man had a good relationship with the prince.
old friends, now they have another stab in their hearts.
The prefect said, "Mrs. Cheng, you also understand our difficulties. There is really nothing we can do."
The implication is that he was also acting on orders.
This villa cannot be lived in anymore. The officers and soldiers are watching eagerly outside. This villa belongs to Lou Kaiyang. The princess does not want to cause trouble to them. She has to leave before she can sit down. Concubine Yun Fang does not want to leave. She has been away for a day and can go.
Where. This villa has beautiful scenery, comfortable food, and comfortable sleep. Is it possible that you have to spend the night on the street when you go out? The princess looked at her coldly. She was exhausted both physically and mentally today and did not want to pay attention to her behavior.
Lou Yaoguang was also in a dilemma. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Yun Buhui knew that he couldn't live here, otherwise Lou Kaiyang would be harmed. Lou Yaoguang said that there was another house where people could live. It was not big and shabby, but he just wanted to feel aggrieved.
They have some days.
The princess said, "We are satisfied if we can have a full meal and a shelter from the wind and rain."
Concubine Yun was still unwilling to leave, so Lou Yanran said, "Mother, do you still want to see Youtian?"
This was Concubine Yun's Achilles' heel. She had no choice but to follow them out.
When they arrived at this yard, they realized Lou Yaoguang's so-called grievances. This place had been uninhabited for a long time and was in tatters. There were spider webs in the house, rats and cockroaches were running around, and there was a rotten and moldy smell.
There is just a courtyard, a few rooms, and a flower hall. It is very dirty and messy, and it is simply not a place for people to live.
The princess and several concubines froze.
They had enjoyed all their glory and wealth for half their lives, but they had never lived in a place like this. Concubine Yun immediately howled, unwilling to live in such a ghost place. Yuzhi and the other little girls had never suffered before, and they looked at each other in shock.
The place is simply a devil to them.
Lou Yaoguang pulled Yun Buhui aside and lowered his voice, "What are your plans? Can you live in this place? Let's go to your villa."
Yun Buhui smiled faintly, "When you are in trouble, you have to find a way to get into trouble. Just go and leave us alone."
"No regrets, you..."
"Don't worry, I will take care of myself." Yun Buhui said. Lou Yaoguang nodded, then said goodbye to everyone and left. Bingyue said, "There are officers and soldiers outside."
Yun Buhui sighed, the concubines were already quarreling and no one wanted to live in such a place.
The princess suddenly shouted, "Shut up, what are you arguing about? At this time, where else do you want to go? Is there anywhere else in Fengcheng?"
They argued again, and Yun Buhui asked Lingxi and Lingxin to lead the maids to boil hot water, clean the room, and tidy up temporarily. Although this place is dilapidated and dirty, it can be habitable if it is tidied up. Fortunately, it is in the yard.
There is also a well, which is convenient for fetching water. The kitchen is not needed. It took a long time to light the fire, and Ju Qing and Zhu Qing went to clean it.
All the master's maids from the first chamber followed, including Lingxi, Lingxin, Bingyue, Juqing, Zhuqing, Jixiang, Qiu Shuang, Xiaoping, Qingping, and Chunqiu. There were ten maids, and they all worked neatly. Yun Buhui saw that
The sky was about to get dark, so she quickly asked Bingyue to take the two of them to buy some food. The room was packed. There was not enough room for so many people, so they all shared a room. Concubine Li and Yu Mei, Concubine Yun and Yu Rong,
Yu Zhi and Yu Wu, Yun Buhui and Lou Yanran, Wang Fei and Yu Concubine were in the same room. All the maids could only squeeze together. The whole room was full of women. It was not far away and desolate, and the wind was blowing.
, the door panel creaked, and it was a bit scary.
Bingyue and others bought some food from the restaurant and came back, as well as oil, salt, firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea. They had some money on hand and a lot of things. Although everyone was hungry and tired, they didn't eat much. Everyone was there
Thinking about what to do tomorrow and what to do in the future.
The meal was eaten in silence, Yun Buhui didn't know how to taste it, Lou Yanran reluctantly stuffed in some food, Yu Mei, Yu Rong and others looked very sick, and Concubine Li and Concubine Yu also looked much more haggard.
"Will Youtian and Mu Dong be caught?" Concubine Yu asked.
Concubine Yun glanced over with a sharp look, "Youtian will not be caught."
They still can't figure out what caused this sudden disaster? Yun Buhui said, "Two aunts, don't panic. They must be fine. The officers and soldiers are guarding not far away. If they catch someone, they won't guard them."
After dinner, the princess gathered everyone together and took out her private money, which totaled more than 20,000 yuan. She asked, "Which of you still has some money? We must meet the prince."
Yun Buhui, Yu Zhi, and Yu Wu all spent money. The two little princesses didn't have much money, and they didn't save much. Yun Buhui only had three hundred taels in hand, and the three of them together only had more than three thousand.
2. Except for the three of them, no one made any movement. The princess passed by them with a sad look on her face. Concubine Yun was expressionless. Concubine Yu and Concubine Li both lowered their heads. The princess said, "Don't you all want to see the prince?"
If he falls into the hands of his father-in-law Xie, he will be tortured and beaten, aren't you worried?"
"Your Majesty is the emperor's younger brother, they dare." Concubine Yun Fang said confidently.
The princess sneered, "We have been demoted to common people and have lost our home. What else do they dare not do?"
No one spoke, and the princess sneered, "My prince treats you well, but now that things are coming, you...have your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
Concubine Jade said, "Sister, it's not that we don't want to. Life is hard right now. We need money for everything. Mr. Xie asked for 100,000 yuan. We collected it and gave it to him. How can we live?"
Concubine Li also said, "Xiaoyu is right."
Lou Yanran took out her personal money, her dowry, and her savings in the past two years, totaling thirty thousand taels. Concubine Yun Fangfei hurriedly took back Lou Yanran's banknotes and asked sternly, "What are you doing?"
?Fool?”
Lou Yanran said, "Mom, this is my dowry. If Youtian is here, he also wants me to take out the money."
The princess was slightly moved, and Yun Buhui was even more surprised. She didn't expect that Lou Yanran would be the first to come forward. Lou Yanran put her hand on her lower abdomen with a dull look on her face. She wanted to build virtue for her child.
Concubine Yu and Concubine Li thought for a while and took out their own spare money. One person was ten thousand and the other was five thousand. The total amount was seventy thousand taels, which was still thirty thousand short. Concubine Yun did not use any private money.
mean.
Concubine Li said harshly, "You have already paid for this, so why don't you contribute a little, miser, don't you have thirty thousand? You must be greedy for more than thirty thousand."
"I have no money. Why do you say that I am greedy for the princess's money?" Concubine Yun flicked her sleeves and glared at Concubine Li. Concubine Li was not to be outdone, and the two of them started to quarrel, which almost led to a fight in the end.
Concubine Yu couldn't stop the fight, so Yu Rong took out her money bag and said with a crying voice, "Don't embarrass mother, I have ten thousand taels here, take them all."
Concubine Yun Fang snatched Yu Rong's money bag back, and everyone looked at her angrily. Yu Rong snatched it away again, her face turned red, she was very ashamed, and she threw the money in the middle of the table. Eighty thousand taels, still missing.
Twenty thousand taels. Yun Buhui said, "We still have some valuable things around us. If we go to pawn tomorrow, it shouldn't be a problem to make up one hundred thousand taels."
Concubine Yun Fang looked at Yun Buhui sarcastically, "Isn't the Imperial Concubine always very wealthy? She spent five hundred taels on keeping slaves, why did she only spend three hundred taels? Is the prince's life worth less than these servants?"
Yun Buhui said calmly, "The Crown Prince's friend had something urgent and needed a lot of money. The Crown Prince took away all the banknotes at home, leaving only more than 800 taels. Those servants who have worked hard for the palace all their lives must be properly arranged. I
There are only three hundred taels left around."
"Who knew you could be so lucky in telling the truth?"
Yun Buhui didn't want to argue with her, but Concubine Yun became more and more sarcastic. The concubine put the money together to manage it. Yun Buhui couldn't sleep at night and asked Bingyue, "Send someone to Huayun Pawn Shop to say hello early tomorrow morning."
"Understood, raise the price, right?"
"Keep it as low as possible. Just give me 20,000 taels. Don't give more." Yun Buhui said.
Bingyue's eyes widened, and Yun Buhui said, "Say hello to other pawn shops, no one will accept our goods."
"Miss, this is too harsh. The things we brought out are worth this price, so we can't do it."
"Things are different now, why not?"
"I got it." Although Bingyue was puzzled, she was very obedient. She pawned this thing to Hua Yun and would definitely return it intact in the future. These tens of thousands of taels were given in vain. When she thought about it, she felt that Yun Buhui had done this.
is right.
Bingyue and Yun Buhui were thinking completely different things. She obeyed her orders and was a little confused after thinking about it, "Miss, what are you going to do?"
Yun Buhui smiled and asked, "What do you think I want to do?"
"I can't live in a good house, but I have to come to this shabby place. I estimate that all the valuables can be pawned for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, so you can give me 20,000 yuan to prevent the people in Ruixin Tower from receiving the people from the palace... Miss, what's the matter?
It seems like this is just adding insult to injury." Bingyue scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, as if it was a very fatal thing to miss her master so much.
Yun Buhui touched Bingyue's face tenderly, and Bingyue's hair stood on end. Yun Buhui smiled and said, "Bingyue, isn't your lady always good at adding insult to injury?"
Bingyue, "..."
Yun Buhui never thought that one day she would sleep on the same bed as Lou Yanran. Bingyue and Lingxi, Qiu Shuang made the place very warm. Considering that Lou Yanran was a pregnant woman, all the bedding and other things were bought.
The musty smell was washed away by the incense of agarwood. Although it was simple, it was passable.
The two of them were lying on the same bed. Yun Buhui felt a little sick and couldn't fall asleep. Lou Yanran couldn't sleep either. For the people in the palace, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Lou Yanran asked, "If we don't regret it, can we still go back to the palace?"
Yun Buhui said, "I don't know."
silence.
Lou Yanran sighed, "Do you feel that sleeping with me is particularly unsafe and uncomfortable, and you are afraid that I will stab you in the back?"
"How come my cousin misses me so much? I really have never thought about it that way." Yun Buhui said with a smile, "They say pregnant people like to think wildly, and they are right. You should go to bed early, the child also needs to rest.
"
"Can you sleep?"
"Asleep, sleep, and fall asleep."
