"See the Queen." After a few days, Song Yufeng, who used to be graceful and graceful in the past, now looks a little haggard, with his thick eyebrows deeply locked in the middle, as if something is bothering him.
"Brother Song, please get up." Although there were many grievances and resentments in the past, love itself is not wrong. I looked at him with a smile, and my heart was like a bright mirror.
"Thank you, empress." Song Yufeng replied in an unusually polite manner, seeming to have returned to the boundaries of courtesy between a monarch and his ministers, or perhaps, retreating even further.
"Brother Song, I wonder why you came here this time?" No matter what, I still respect him in my heart, so I don't have any alienation from him because of the change in status.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious, how can I bear it?!" Song Yufeng still lowered his eyes, respectfully, which even made me a little unbearable.
"Brother Song, does it have to be like this? Can't we be good friends and go back to the past?!" I interrupted his high-sounding rhetoric bluntly, feeling very uncomfortable in my heart.
Song Yufeng was silent, seemingly struggling with his thoughts in his heart, and there was no trace of expression on his handsome face. After a long while, he murmured to himself: "We can't go back to the past. Because you are no longer the same person you were before, and I,
It’s also changed.”
"No, Brother Song, I haven't changed. I'm still the Yan'er I used to be, the lively and cheerful Yan'er who loved to hold you all day long. It's you who have changed. You don't like to be close to me anymore. You even deliberately take advantage of me.
He used his identity as a guise to alienate me..." I became more and more excited as I spoke, and his indifference really made me sad.
"Do you care?" Song Yufeng didn't even raise his head, as if he was talking to himself.
"Yes, of course I will. Because you are my friend. No, a good friend. I long for your trust, instead of being as indifferent as a stranger now." My tone was quite warm, looking at his calm face like the surface of a lake.
Face, the nostalgic feelings in my heart suddenly came out.
"Yan'er, I..." Song Yufeng's handsome face showed a trace of pain, and his lips trembled for a long time, but in the end he did not say anything.
"Forget it, Brother Song, just tell me what you have to say." I no longer deliberately asked him to treat me as a friend like before, I sighed and asked calmly.
Song Yufeng said nothing, but glanced at Xi'er, looking a little embarrassed.
I understood immediately, turned my head, turned to Xi'er and said, "You guys go down first, don't let anyone in."
She was as smart as Xi'er. With a wave of her hand, she took away the four maids on one side, walked out quietly, and closed the door.
"You can talk now." I took a sip of tea, smiled, and said to him.
Song Yufeng did not speak immediately, but hesitated for a while, as if it was difficult to speak. Finally, he finally said it: "Yan'er, I hope you can save Concubine Zhen."
"Save her?" I was shocked. I never thought that Song Yufeng came here this time for this reason. I couldn't react and just stared at him blankly.
Song Yufeng smiled clearly, and there was a strange emotion covering his sad face, but I didn't understand it.
"The emperor ordered her to be put in prison." Song Yufeng said quietly.
"What?" I was stunned for a moment. It was difficult to digest the news. I thought it was just house arrest at best, but I didn't expect that Meng Zihan would take it seriously this time.
"What do you want me to do?" I slowly came back to my senses and tried to look at the matter calmly, but my mind was a mess. Meng Zihan's actions shocked me.
"Yan'er, I know she is usually unruly and mean, but I know her well. There is absolutely no way she would do such a cruel thing." Song Yufeng hurriedly defended Concubine Zhen, as if he was very familiar with her.
Understand her, what is their relationship?! I am getting more and more dizzy.
"What's your relationship? Is it worth doing this for her?" I asked straightforwardly, my eyes still wandering on Song Yufeng's face.
"She, she is my sister." Song Yufeng seemed to be reluctant to say it, his eyes looking away.
I stood up suddenly, this news was so shocking! I really couldn’t accept it...
"She is my youngest sister. Like me, she has been loved by her parents since she was a child. My father has always taught her to become a queen. Not long before you entered the palace, she was attracted by the queen mother and was named a concubine...
..." Song Yufeng said it calmly, as if he was talking about a very common thing.
Oh my God! Concubine Zhen is actually his sister! No wonder I said how could she be so arrogant and domineering, it turns out she has a backer behind her!
"Yan'er, Yan'er, I know you must be shocked. But, I hope you can save him, and only you can save him." I have never seen Song Yufeng as low-minded as he is now, and I can't help but feel a flash in my heart.
Can't bear it.
"Brother Song, why do you think I am the only one who can save her?" It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I need this reason.
Song Yufeng was stunned for a moment, his melancholy and vicissitudes of life face was full of astonishment, then he smiled forcefully and said: "Because you are the queen, because he loves you."
Does he love me? I knew clearly that the "he" he meant was Meng Zihan. Jing Guan knew in his heart that he was good to me, but when he said it through his mouth, I was still shocked and rippled in my heart.
"Okay, I promise you, I will save her. However, I dare not say that the emperor will definitely listen to me, but I promise to try my best." I looked at him with a sharp look, but in fact, he knew in his heart: It is impossible for me to refuse.
his.
"Thank you, Yan'er." Song Yufeng suddenly stood up and looked at me with complicated eyes, which showed gratitude, reluctance, and even more sadness.
"Brother Song, don't worry, I will tell the emperor properly." I looked at him, feeling very uncomfortable in my heart. I always felt that I owed him too much, and I wanted to make up for it, but I couldn't do it. Maybe, I also
Only then can I help him.
"Okay, forget about mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Go ahead. I'll sort it out and then go to the emperor to intercede for you." I smiled and waved to him, urging.
"Yan'er? Why are you here again?" Meng Zihan looked at me in surprise and adjusted the pen in his hand.
Sigh... He is such a hard-working emperor. I have to say that Chu Han is very competent in his job. Sometimes, I appreciate and admire him a little.
"Don't you want me to come?" I teased, pretending to be unhappy.
"Of course not. You clearly know that I am happy when I see you, but you still want to ridicule me like this!" Meng Zihan pulled his hand to his side and put the memorial aside casually, pretending to be innocent.
"Haha...I know, I know." I gently scratched his nose. I really couldn't do anything to him. I got an advantage and acted like a good boy.
"Yan'er, are you planning to get close to me for a while? What's the purpose of your coming here?!" Meng Zihan took me to my seat. I think his chair can accommodate three people.
When he said this, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. This man was too straightforward!
Seeing the embarrassment on my face, Meng Zihan smiled clearly, turned to me and walked down the steps, and said: "Yan'er, no matter why you came, I'm very happy, although I know you have nothing to ask of me.
, won’t come, but when I see you, I can’t help but feel very happy in my heart. I actually hope to have many opportunities like this in the future! Do you think I’m not feeling normal? "
I was startled, his words really shocked me a lot, and aroused all kinds of feelings in my heart, sour and painful.
"Han, I did come here for something." I admitted honestly, turned around, looked into his eyes, and remained motionless.
"Tell me." Meng Zihan looked at me strangely, his dark eyes shining shrewdly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"I'm still here because of Concubine Zhen's affairs." I said quietly, wrapped my hands around his neck, and looked straight into those eyes.
"Huh?" Meng Zihan responded lukewarmly, staring at a few hairs next to my ears, twisting them around his fingers to play with.
"Can you let her go?" I held Meng Zihan's sleeves with both hands and looked at him intently, hoping that he would understand what I was thinking.
"Why? She hurt you so much, and you still plead for her?! Yan'er, you are too kind! No, I said, no one is allowed to hurt you." Meng Zihan said swornly, with piercing eyes.
There is a touch of tenderness in between.
"Really? What about Xiaodie? She almost killed me." I stared at him intently. Although I was very reluctant to say it, Xiaodie will always be a shadow in my heart, and this cannot be changed.
Meng Zihan was startled, his gentle face looked a little embarrassed, and his two thin lips trembled for a long time, but he didn't say a word. He suddenly understood in his heart: Xiaodie will be an unbridgeable gap between us, although on the surface I
He pretended that nothing had happened, but the damage had been done after all. Perhaps as I said, I could only forgive him when the scars fade away.
"Forget it, what are you talking about? It's all over." Seeing him in such embarrassment, I couldn't bear it, so I couldn't help but let him step down on purpose.
"Yan'er, you still don't want to forgive me, do you?" Meng Zihan's dark eyes were filled with mist, and a deep feeling of disappointment appeared on his face, which immediately made me heartbroken.
"What's the use of saying all this?! I want you to let Concubine Zhen go." I avoided his penetrating gaze, deliberately looking away, and my tone was very firm.
Meng Zihan remained silent. Whenever Xiaodie was mentioned, the relationship between us became extremely awkward. I can never forget the scene of being chased by the river, and Meng Zihan couldn't possibly ask Xiaodie.
