In the evening, I was collecting dried vegetables outside the door, and suddenly I was hit by something covered in hair. I screamed instinctively. I was thinking about who could be such a prank. When I looked up, I saw a man in plain clothes.
The man in robe stood before me,
Just as he was about to step forward to help me, I glared back. Looking at this figure, it must be that Ye Ling. He said: "Ye Ling, why don't you wear black clothes? Also, I recognize you every time
What are you doing with your face covered?"
He avoided his eyes and said hoarsely: "If your Majesty is fine, Wei...Ye Ling will leave."
"Wait a minute." I walked up to him and asked, "Many good birds have died in Chenyuan recently. Were you the one who shot them?"
I clearly felt his face twitching before he nodded. I don’t know why, but he felt a bit familiar to me. With a thought in my mind, I pointed to his left rear and said, "Then please help me put that bird away."
Can you shoot it down?"
He reflexively looked to his left and back. I seized the opportunity, stepped forward and pulled off his face towel.
He reacted and wanted to cover it with his sleeves, but found that it was too late. He simply ignored it and took two steps back defensively, looking at me with a very dissatisfied look.
"I see that you have good features and you are quite handsome. Why do you keep covering your face? You will not be able to breathe smoothly." I said with a mischievous smile.
"I'm used to it." He replied unhappily.
The more I looked at him, the more I felt that he looked like the same person. A somewhat familiar person, but not particularly familiar. So I asked tentatively: "How many brothers do you have in your family?"
He was startled, looked at me for a long time, and then replied: "They should be considered three brothers."
I thought it was really easy to use this person's words, and continued to ask: "What do you mean should be three brothers? Either your eldest brother, second brother and you, or just you and your eldest brother. Is there a half in the middle?"
?”
"No, I have a lost brother." He said, with an indescribable sadness in his words.
Seeing that other people's sad things were mentioned, I felt bad. So I added: "Well, I didn't mean to mention it. Don't you still have a big brother by your side? Then, can you tell me why you keep helping me?
Is that so? I don’t believe what you said about helping my second brother to take care of me. If you really wanted to do that, you pointed a sword at me from the beginning? And also, secretly, no, you were helping secretly. No one believes it. There must be someone.
It’s hard to explain why.”
He was choking and holding his mouth open, trying to say something but not a single word came out.
Seeing that he was silent, I continued: "Could it be my brother who looks a lot like you?"
He pursed his slightly open mouth, turned his head and said no more. At this time, Lan Lin called me in the dining room. As soon as he heard this, he wanted to leave. I said: "Don't throw dead birds around in the future, just throw the rice
Fill the jar with firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and give whatever you have, I don’t care about more..."
"Sui'er, who are you talking to?" Lan Lin came out and looked at me with a puzzled face and asked.
"It's okay, I'm praying. I pray that God will give us more food." I looked at the direction he left and said.
The two of us put away the dried vegetables together. I picked up the wild goose and said to Lan Lin, "Let's go and eat roasted whole wild goose."

Ye Ling flew away from the morning garden desperately until she came to a small forest with no people. Her heartbeat was beating so hard that she felt that she had never flown so fast before. The concubine's eyes seemed to be able to see through people, and it seemed that it was a person.
The crystal clear gem in Wang Qingquan. As expected, I couldn't get close to her.
But who asked him to be her secret guard in the first place? In Murong Garden back then, in Chen Garden now, even if you look at it from a distance, you can't move your eyes away after looking at it for a long time.
"Ye Ling, you went to Chenyuan again." A figure appeared in front of him, his words full of anger that could hardly be suppressed.
"Brother, I, I am the secret guard over there." Ye Ling fell back with some lack of confidence.
For a long time, there was silence, with only the rustling of the wind through the woods.
"Ye Ling, you are no longer a secret guard now. Please remember that the second brother of my right minister Qi Qingyun is now the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army. The emperor has his own discretion regarding the affairs of the imperial concubine. It has nothing to do with you anymore. You want the eldest brother to tell you
How many times did it take me to understand! You can’t..."
"Brother, you don't need to say more, I understand." How could Ye Ling not understand herself? She is the emperor's concubine, and this cannot be changed. Even if it could be changed, how could such a beautiful woman think more of herself?
One glance.
"You were the one who held Murong Yuan's whip back then. I know that you always remember how you ruined our family. You hate the Xiao family. You hate the Xiao family even more. That's why I feel free to let you be her secret guard. But, you see
Look at you, what's going on? You've lost your mind!" Qi Qingyun's tone was completely helpless as he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
"Brother, when Xiao Mude destroyed our Qi family, Xiao Shi was still a toddler girl. She didn't understand anything, so what's wrong with her? When I saw that she could live comfortably in any environment, I naturally
I hated how the descendants who destroyed our family like that could still live so freely. But when I got closer, I
I can't help myself. Besides, the emperor doesn't care about it anymore! Why can't you let go, brother?" Ye Ling replied dissatisfied. When he thought of beating Shi'er, who was already covered with injuries, until he fainted,
He was filled with regret. Recalling the sound of the whip being struck, his heart became entangled as to why he had been the one holding the whip in the first place.
"Who says I can't let it go! I'm a fan of the authorities, but I can see more clearly than you. Look at the consequences of the emperor's indifference. Beauty is a disaster. Falling in love with such a woman is a mistake." Qi Qingyun said coldly.
.
"Is this why you asked me to find an opportunity to kill her? Just because a beauty is a disaster!"
"At that time, Xiao Si lost her memory, and the emperor was very indulgent towards her. I also know that Xiao Si likes to be alone. But you never took action, so I knew that you were afraid that there was something wrong, so I assigned you a task and asked you to do it.
Follow the emperor southward.
It's so refreshing. But I didn't expect that Xiao Shi had already recovered his memory and planned to go north. I thought it would be okay if she left. But she came back half a year later. The joy in your eyes at that time made me feel chilled. After the emperor burned the flowers, I
I see something is wrong with you.
It rained heavily a few days ago, and I saw you not reacting when I saw Concubine Tian falling into the stream. I thought you had figured it out. But I didn’t expect that you took medicine to treat her at night. You have always been unrepentant! Ye Ling, you have to remember
Yes, she is the emperor's heaven
Concubine, since ancient times, the concubine of heaven can only be established. Even if she is really thrown into the cold palace, she is still the concubine of heaven. She cannot belong to..." Speaking of this, Qi Qingyun couldn't go on. He had already lost a younger brother, and the Ye Ling in front of him was him.
The only brother.
"I never thought about owning anything. I just wanted her to live a better life. I just wanted to see her live a better life." Ye Ling was in pain at this time. This must be the pain of not having what she wants.
"You," Qi Qingyun clenched his fists and wanted to hit her, but in the end he waved his sleeve hard and turned to the side. He said harshly: "At that time, I asked you to be her secret guard. I originally thought that if she did something
You can be on guard against things that endanger the emperor. Looking at it today, it was a big mistake. At that time, I really should have done it myself. Now she deserves it!"
"Brother, what did you say? Was it really you that day..." Ye Ling looked at the elder brother in front of him in disbelief.
"The day after Tian Fei's miscarriage, you saw me, that's right. I saw Linghua lying in Tian Fei's room, so I hid a bag of musk in the Peony Pavilion." Qi Qing said frankly.
"Could it be that Concubine Tian had a miscarriage..." Ye Ling was thinking about whether he should continue, but Qi Qingyun interrupted fiercely: "Who do you think your elder brother is? I can kill all enemies on the battlefield, but I will never fight against him.
A pregnant woman, let alone a dragonborn. No matter how dissatisfied I am with Tianfei, the child is a prince. Just because our brothers and the emperor have been born and died for so many years, I will never do this. I
I just gave her a push."
"Brother, how can you say that? Then you also know that Tianfei did not harm her child. Why don't you tell the emperor?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the matter between Bai Feng and Princess Nalan was not arranged by the emperor, but by me. At this time, I only said that I pushed her, but I don't know if she was really killed.
His own child came to avenge the emperor. Except for the bag of musk
, who knows whether she has taken other abortion pills! But if she is, I am just doing this to let the emperor see clearly the imperial concubine earlier." Qi Qingyun felt that he was right, everything was for Zhongtian. He sacrificed one
What about women who are like disasters?
"Then if not, didn't you indirectly kill Concubine Tian? Think about how it feels for a woman to lose her child and then be wrongly accused of being the murderer!"
"Yes or no. The emperor is too obsessed with Tianfei Xiao Si. The emperor can deal with everything calmly and wisely, but he is always confused when facing Xiao Si. This is a great opportunity for the emperor to wake up. I will do this,
It’s all for the sake of the world we finally conquered, and also for the emperor.” Qi Qingyun said plausibly.
"Brother, is this fair to Concubine Tian? She is too innocent." Ye Ling felt as if someone was tugging at her heart, but she could only say helplessly.
"You are really obsessed with ghosts! What is fairness? Her father, Xiao Mude, framed Wang Qian's family for fame and fortune, and then destroyed our Qi family. For more than ten years, they have been living happily. And we have been living happily.
What? The hardship we endure is only ours
You know it. In the end, we still can't kill our enemies with our hands. Is this fair to us? Ye Ling, remember, you must not have any feelings for the Xiao family, even if it is pity." Qi Qingyun recalled the destruction of the Qi family.
The scene made me feel angry.
"Brother, maybe you should get to know Concubine Tian well. She is different from the Xiao family. She should not be treated like this at all. She is a good person."
"There are so many good people in the world. I only know that the border countries are ready to take action now. If the emperor puts his thoughts on Tianfei again, the world will be in chaos. I don't know how many of the good people you call will die innocently." At this point,
Ye Ling stared blankly at the elder brother in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment. How could he not know the situation in the border country? It happened to be the small country on the border between Zhongtian and Tianlang, and it was even more difficult to deal with.
Seeing that Ye Ling didn't say anything more, Qi Qingyun also softened and said, "Ye Ling, this is the way the world is. Sometimes, for the benefit of the majority of people, sacrifices have to be made. Otherwise, the result will be even more cruel."
Ye Ling said no more. His eyes already showed his powerlessness, but he was still so determined. He walked forward slowly, thinking that so what, he was her secret guard, always will be. When will it start?
Yes, I don’t even know
, maybe it was when Murong Yuan was in Huansha Courtyard, watching her jumping up and down to avoid being chased by Grandma Shi, watching her chopping firewood while cursing crows, watching her lighting a fire to roast steamed buns, watching her
Looking at her sleeping in the laundry drying yard under the night...
Looking at Ye Ling's leaving figure, Qi Qingyun sighed regretfully. In fact, Qi Qingyun also knew in his heart that such an arrangement was indeed unfair to Concubine Tian. But so what, compared to the people of Zhongtian, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, this
This is already the best arrangement.
He could also understand Ye Ling. Although he had always felt that Ye Ling was the least emotional one before, he had a heart, so he became emotional. I'm afraid it's hard for many people to not be tempted by such a woman. Who can love beautiful things?
She liked them all. That night, he himself was moved by her music. Otherwise, he would
Why did he keep such a distance, be on guard, and deliberately ignore it? Now he is lucky. Falling in love with such a woman is really life-threatening. As for Ye Ling, he trusts this brother too much. When he finds out, he is afraid that
He has already fallen into it. No matter what, we must pull him out.
