Defu, who was outside the door, was holding tea and did not dare to come in. Hearing Xuan Yi say again: "I have never thought of doing this. I sent someone to inquire. Although Xiao Yunsheng is not officially married, there are many concubines in your family.
, three of them are pregnant now, so you don’t need to worry about having no heirs for your Xiao family."
"Your Majesty, Yun Sheng is still young. If he dies so early, how will you let your wife live?"
"Now that you know that your life is worse than death, what did you do before?"
"I know that I have made a mistake. I beg the Emperor to let me die for my grandson. I only ask the Emperor to spare my grandson."
Mrs. Xiao was obviously at her wits' end when it came to this matter. Seeing her crying so sadly, Xuan Yi became soft-hearted. She didn't expect that he would also be soft-hearted, thinking that it was just the wolfberry infection that had infected him.
He said: "Okay, Mrs. Xiao, I will spare his life."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
"Thank you in advance. I miss that you are old and have no one to support you. Xiao Yunsheng is your only eldest grandson, but after all, he committed the crime first. Now he is sentenced to five years in the military border. Whether he can come back after five years will be determined."
It depends on his performance and your performance."
"My wife obeys the order and thanks the emperor for not killing me."
"Um."
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask of you."
Xuan Yi thought to himself: There are quite a lot of things, and said: "What is it? Tell me."
"My wife wants to visit the prisoner."
Xuan Yi thought for a while, and realized that this was also the long-term affection of a person, and said, "Go ahead and tell him what I mean by the way."
"My wife obeys the decree."
"Kneel down."
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
After seeing Mrs. Xiao off, Xuan Yi sat quietly in a small pavilion by the lake. Fen'er brought him tea and Fang'er brought him fruits. As soon as they put them on the table, Xuan Yi said: "You guys wait a minute.
wait."
"Master, if you have anything to do, just give me instructions," Fen'er said.
"You two sisters have been with me for some time. Now that I am gone, do you wish to enter the palace with me?"
Fang'er asked in confusion: "Will you go back to the palace together?"
Xuan Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will not return to the palace."
Fang'er pouted, Fen'er didn't say anything, Xuan Yi said: "If you want to enter the palace, follow me in two days. If you want to stay, I won't force you."
Fen'er pulled Fang'er and bowed to Xuan Yi before retreating.
Qi Zi was sitting on the swing alone. Zhao Yunniang walked over, but Qi Zi didn't notice that there were always things in her mind that she couldn't finish thinking about but couldn't understand. She kept thinking,
The more I think about it, the more confused I become.
"Qi Zi, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Yunniang sat aside and asked.
Only then did Qi Zi notice that Zhao Yunniang was here, and she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Yun Niang, I didn't notice you coming."
Qi Zi also sat next to her, and Zhao Yunniang asked: "You seem to have something on your mind?"
"Why am I worried?"
"Don't hide it from me. Now that I'm married, I can be considered a veteran. If you have anything to say, tell me and let me analyze it for you." Zhao Yunniang said with a smile.
Qi Zi opened his mouth, but the sound stopped at his lips. Zhao Yunniang said, "Did Zhong Wen make you angry?"
Qi Zi immediately said: "No, it's none of his business."
Zhao Yunniang frowned slightly and said, "Oh, it's none of his business?"
Qi Zi said melancholy: "I don't know whose business it is?"
Zhao Yunniang smiled and said: "I understand, it is about Mr. Zheng."
Qi Zi stared at her, her heart beating so fast. When it came to Xuan Yi, she was completely speechless.
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question. Do you really still like Brother Zhongwen now?"
Qi Zi thought for a moment: "I might like it, probably..."
"But I dare to say that the person you are thinking about now is not Zhongwen at all, but Mr. Zheng."
"No, Yun Niang, you are wrong. How could I miss him? You don't know how much I hate him. Without him, I don't know how happy I would be now."
"Don't be brave. Although I don't know what happened when you left Zhongwen, but I know that your true heart no longer belongs to Zhongwen?"
"Why did you say that?" As soon as Qi Zi finished speaking, Xiu Yu brought tea over.
Zhao Yunniang smiled and said, "Do you remember what happened when we went shopping that day?"
Qi Zi nodded and said, "Remember."
Zhao Yunniang continued: "When you saw Mr. De, you went to him without thinking. When he said Mr. Zheng was very drunk, I saw the worried look on your face. It was not ordinary.
Care, let alone the expression when you hate him. You didn’t have to follow him back to Youyuan, the wedding invitations could have been brought back by Defu, but you went, didn’t you want to meet him yourself?”
Qi Zi was stunned. She couldn't figure it out. Zhao Yunniang gave an answer, but this answer was the only one. She still tried her best to deny it and said: "No, no, how could I..."
"Qi Zi, people can change. I can't blame you. After all, you were married. Although he said he would let you go, but he chased you all the way here, doesn't that mean something? People's hearts are all flesh.
Sir, I don’t believe your heart is made of stone. Now he is willing to let you go, but he has figured it out, he cares about you, and the only thing he wants to do to make you happy is to withdraw and let you have no restraints.
"
"No, Yun Niang, this is not true." Qi Zi cried.
Zhao Yunniang said: "Qi Zi, accept the reality. You see, Brother Ling liked you so much at the beginning, but didn't you reveal his feelings later? In fact, these things are all the same, it's just the authorities who are confused and observe clearly."
Qi Zi wiped her tears, picked up the cup and was about to drink when Su Yueling ran over and said, "Qi Zi, Qi Zi, it's not good, it's not good."
"What's the matter, Yue Ling, are you in a hurry?" Zhao Yunniang said.
Su Yueling looked at Qi Zi and said, "I met Fen'er on the street just now, and she told me that Mr. Zheng and the others will return to the capital tomorrow."
Qi Zi was startled. The tea cup he was holding fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Tea splashed everywhere. Zhao Yunniang pulled Qi Zi and said, "Qi Zi, you must admit it now."
"Admit what?" Su Yueling said while wiping the tea on Qi Zi.
Qi Zi shook his head vigorously and said with a smile: "Yue Ling, you are serious. They are leaving and you come here to tell me what to do."
"Hey, it's not me, I thought... I thought..."
Before Su Yueling could say anything, Ling Shiqi and Liu Zhongwen came over. Ling Shiqi laughed and said, "There is something good."
Liu Zhongwen looked at the broken cup pieces and the water on Qi Zi's body. He immediately stepped forward and asked worriedly: "Qi Zi, what's wrong with you?"
Qi Zi felt warm in his heart and said, "It's okay, Brother Zhong Wen." After saying that, he thought to himself: Yes, I like Brother Zhong Wen, not Xuan Yi. Brother Zhong Wen cares so much about me, how could I still go?
