Most of the time, Liu Yun is rational and calm. She can understand the helplessness of many people and the ruthlessness of many people. She understands that what is needed in the court or the harem is not kindness and simplicity.
She knew from Wan'er's changes in the past six months that the capital was a place where people could become cruel and indifferent.
But she can be tolerant to others. When she knew that Dongfang Ye was also such a ruthless person, she couldn't help but feel sad. Many times, people are like this. Understanding is one thing, but meeting someone is another.
The thing is, maybe Dongfang Ye was so kind to her that she forgot where he came from.
If it were anyone else, she would understand the way of staying on the sidelines or being wise and protective. But because the other person is Dongfang Ye, she can't help but hope that he is a perfect and flawless person. Because he is the one she loves, she always
She is extremely harsh and can't tolerate sand in her eyes.
On the one hand, she understood that Dongfang Ye's ruthlessness was necessary, but on the other hand, she felt that his ruthlessness disappointed her. She always thought that Dongfang Ye was different from others, at least he never showed the slightest trace of cruelty and ruthlessness in front of her.
"This is the emperor's family matter. I have no right to interfere." Dongfang Ye was not an enthusiastic person at first. He had never cared about anyone except Liu Yun's matter, not to mention that she was a woman in the harem. Even the emperor looked on coldly. He
How could you get involved in this kind of business?
But Liu Yun's words were still like a sharp bayonet stabbing into his heart. He has never been a gentle and kind person. Countless people died directly or indirectly in his hands. He was a shadow working for the emperor, and every day
Every step he takes is on a sharp knife. Many times, either you die or I die. There is not much time for him to think about whether he is too ruthless.
What happened to King An is the best example. You can either reach the sky in one step or fall into the abyss. Cruelty is one of the necessary conditions.
"The Dongfang Ye I know is not such a cold person." Liu Yun pursed his lips, looking at him blankly as if seeing him for the first time.
Maybe yes, since they met, every time he appeared in front of her like a black knight to save her, every time he was gentle and careful. Maybe she was taken care of so well by him that he forgot the dangers of the human heart.
, so good that I forgot that she has always been a ruthless person.
"You don't understand what's going on in the palace." Dongfang Ye paused and explained, "What kind of place do you think the harem is? A place where you can survive just by relying on the emperor's favor?"
"That's why you said that Wu Guiren's child couldn't be born at all..." Liu Yun's tone was slightly startled, and then he asked again, "So what you mean is that the emperor also knew about this, but he still allowed the harem to go away."
Women making trouble?”
Dongfang Ye sighed: "The emperor will not allow a woman of such status to give birth to his child, let alone this woman... used to be a member of King An."
"Since he knows that she is King An's person, why should the emperor favor her? He gave her hope and then ruthlessly deprived her of it." On this kind of issue, she always seemed particularly vulnerable.
Seeing her rarely showing such an expression, Dongfang Ye couldn't help but hugged her tightly and whispered: "The disputes between women in the harem will never stop. We are only staying temporarily for a few days, why bother to wade through these muddy waters?"
."
"But the child is innocent." Even if the biological mother is from King An, doesn't the child in her belly belong to the emperor?
If she had been in the past, she would definitely not have waded into such muddy waters, but since she had a child, she has become extremely fragile. I wonder if it is because she is a mother, and her heart has become extremely soft.
"This place... is so cold." She murmured, feeling a big hole in her heart and the cold wind blowing in, making her feel chilly.
It was like she was stuck in a blind corner, sinking deeper and deeper, unable to escape.
Dongfang Ye didn't speak anymore, just hugged her quietly. He didn't like this place that was full of coldness, but sometimes they both had their own helplessness.
No one can question the emperor's skills. Wu Guiren is just a small person. There are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem. She is just a drop in the river. If the emperor really loves her, how can he push her to the forefront? Obviously
Knowing that she still has a child, it can only mean that the emperor himself does not want such an heir.
No emperor would allow a woman with a history of alienation to stay by his side and give birth to children. How could such a potential threat, as wise as Emperor Ling, be allowed to stay? But he would not do it himself, because he believed that those in the harem
A woman who was stepped on by a mere palace maid would not be able to do anything, so he only had to add fuel to the flames and push her into the wind.
But in this case, how could he tell Liuyun that she had extremely holy ideas about the relationship between husband and wife, just like she wanted a person who could be single-minded. She couldn't even understand three wives and four concubines, so how could she understand that the emperor allowed himself to be...
Even if he used words like checks and balances to explain things like women fighting each other, she would definitely not understand it.
She was beautiful and kind, but she gave him a headache.
At this moment, Luochen's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Master, something happened in the prison. All Prince An's soldiers are dead. Prince Ling asked Master to come over."
Dongfang Ye frowned, but did not let go of Liu Yun. At this time, he could not let the girl think about it, but if Prince Ling would call him over, something big must have happened. He hesitated for a moment.
"Go and do your work." Liu Yun's voice was very calm, but it was just so steady that it made Dongfang Ye even more uneasy.
They are all the same people. The more turbulent their hearts are, the calmer they appear on the outside. People who are too good at hiding their emotions always have the hardest time living.
"Then I'll go out first. Don't think too much. I'll explain Wu Guiren's affairs to you when I come back." Dongfang Ye let go of his hand, straightened her body, and said to her solemnly, "Don't mess with me at will."
Damn it, things in the palace are very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences."
Liu Yun nodded, and waved his hand with interest to let him go. Even if Dongfang Ye was worried, he could only tell his subordinates to protect her, and left in a hurry.
However, what he didn't expect was that Wu Guiren would have a miscarriage after she had been gone for only an hour. When the news came, Liu Yun looked particularly calm. She just clenched her fists with a cold look on her body and thought of the kind of pain she had experienced.
Bone-piercing pain, the kind of pain that seems to be rubbed into the blood.
"I want to leave the palace." She stood up suddenly and said word by word, "I don't want to stay in this place for another minute."
