"Don't come close to me! Hiss—" Yun Yan suddenly withdrew her sword and stuck it on the ground. She couldn't help but choke out in pain. She leaned on the sword to keep her body from falling. Her forehead was covered with fine sweat, but her eyes were filled with tears.
It's much clearer.
Looking at the bloody left arm, just now, she stabbed it with the sword without hesitation. At this moment, only anger was beating in Ye Mei's eyes. Is she so unwilling? She would rather hurt herself than
Are you willing to let him detoxify her?
"Ahem..." Yunyan coughed in a low voice. She felt a strong sweet taste welling up in her mouth. She forced herself to hold it back, looked at Ye Mei, gasped, and smiled, "What do you mean?
, is this the way to get rid of this love medicine?"
Are you using the pain to numb yourself? Ye Mei clenched her fists unconsciously. He walked to Yun Yan's side and looked at the injury on his arm. The sword penetrated extremely deep, but fortunately it did not hit the bone.
"Aren't you afraid that this arm will be crippled?" Ye Mei looked into Yun Yan's eyes, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.
Looking at Ye Mei's frowning eyebrows and thinking of his behavior just now, Yun Yan felt a strange feeling rising in her heart. She couldn't explain it, so she pretended to be relaxed and continued to smile: "Isn't it just a useless arm?
?Do you think I was frightened? I have suffered injuries ten times more serious than this. But..." She suddenly lowered her head and looked down, why should she care so much about this so-called chastity...
Ye Mei looked at her calmly, as if she knew what he was thinking. He looked at her and said indifferently: "Do you like that man so much? Don't you even want your life for him? You can only be relieved like this for a while, Mei.
After all, the medicinal properties of the medicine have not been eliminated, and you will still be in danger."
"I don't know..." Yunyan shook her head, a look of pain flashed across her face, she smiled lowly, with a sarcastic tone, "How could I, Yunyan, fall in love with a man! It's impossible - ahem...
..." She couldn't help coughing again, and the fishy and sweet taste in her mouth became heavier and heavier.
Seeing this, Ye Mei came over and said: "Your condition looks very bad. It's better not to go back to your home today. I'll take you to a place to rest for the night. Don't worry, since you don't want me to save you."
Naturally, I won’t do anything unnecessary for you.”
Seeing that there was only one bellyband left tightly on Yun Yan, Ye Mei picked up the coat on the ground and was about to put it on her. Suddenly his eyes froze and his eyebrows moved slightly. This did not look like a woman's back, let alone
It's the body of a young lady from an aristocratic family.
He didn't notice it at all through his outer shirt before. He never thought that there were scars all over his back. Some of them were even more than half a foot long. Some of the scars were huge and raised. They were obviously scars.
The wounds were so deep that there was almost no complete part of the entire back, and the wounds even overlapped in some places.
Ye Mei suddenly turned his head and covered Yunyan with his coat. He said, "Okay, let's go." As he said that, he was going to help Yunyan.
However, at this moment, Yunyan suddenly knocked down his hand with her right hand, and her whole body staggered forward a few steps. Because of the injury on her arm, she couldn't help but moan.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Mei asked nervously, preparing to go over and help her.
"Don't come over!" Yun Yan raised her right hand to stop him from coming over. She took a deep breath, her pale face full of pain, "Why, why did you save me? Is it just because of the cooperative relationship?"
Stunned by these words, Ye Mei remained silent for a moment and said: "If you die, I will not be able to achieve my goal."
It turned out to be like this. Yunyan curled up her lips. What was she expecting? This person was just a stranger. What happened to her? Her mind became more and more confused, and her chest hurt more and more. Suddenly she heard a "Uh..."
, the whole person fell to her knees on the ground, she opened her mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Mei's expression changed. No matter how serious the injury on his arm was, he wouldn't vomit blood! He was ready to go over.
Yun Yan suddenly turned her head, looked at Ye Mei, curled her bloody mouth, and chuckled, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on... kill Gao Qi -" She
She only felt a severe pain in her body. The blood in her heart was expanding in all directions. This body seemed to be about to explode. The pain was heartbreaking. This time, she was afraid that there was really no hope. She only felt conscious.
Gradually, the pain gradually became unclear, and he tilted his head and fell to the ground.
"Yan'er!" Ye Mei exclaimed, ready to go over to check the situation.
At this moment, a white figure suddenly descended from the sky, passed in front of Ye Mei, picked up Yun Yan on the ground, and stopped not far away.
"Who are you? Put her down quickly!" Ye Mei showed off her aura, her eyes full of sinister intent, looking coldly at the person in front of her.
The man in white didn't pay any attention to Ye Mei. He glanced at the person in his arms, and a hint of sigh appeared on his handsome face, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let you come back."
Yun Yan looked at him with hazy eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "You're here..." As he said that, he fainted.
"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to her!" Glancing at Ye Mei across the way, the man in white said calmly, then looked at the person in his arms fondly and flew away.
Ye Mei stood there with clenched fists. She knew that person clearly! Who it could be!
Kangnying Palace at night
In the inner hall, on the bed, Empress Dowager Gao took a sip of the decoction fed by the maid, waved her hands repeatedly, frowned and said: "It's so bitter! If I don't drink it, I will only have this life left anyway. I don't know how long I can live."
"
Next to her, an old maid took the bowl of medicine, walked to the bedside, smiled at Queen Mother Gao and said: "Your Majesty, good medicine tastes bitter. If you don't drink this medicine, how can you get better? The Queen Mother wants to
You have a long life. Besides, the Queen Mother is old. Looking at your face, it is as smooth as jade, just like when you first entered the palace."
Queen Mother Gao glanced at the person next to her, sighed and said, "Yulian, you are getting older, and your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
After hearing this, Aunt Yulian quickly smiled and said, "What I'm telling you is the truth. Please take a sip, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Queen Mother Gao smiled and drank the medicine fed by Aunt Yulian.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly walked in. He knelt directly beside the Queen Mother's bed and whispered: "To the Queen Mother, please see me."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother waved her hand to stop Aunt Yulian who was giving medicine. She looked outside the door, with a dark look in her eyes. She said calmly: "Tell Uncle Guo that the Ai family is resting and let him
Let's go back."
"Queen Mother, does your uncle have something important to do?" Aunt Yu Lian lowered her voice and asked probingly, "A lot of things have happened in Liangdu recently. If not for this, I would not have visited my uncle late at night.
.”
When Aunt Yulian said this, Empress Dowager Gao frowned slightly. She thought about it and said, "Let him come in."
Qin Youzhi said quickly: "Yes, I will invite my uncle to come in."
Aunt Yulian smiled slightly and signaled to the people in the room, and all the maids and slaves followed her out.
Soon, Gao Qi came in. He looked at the Queen Mother on the sick bed, knelt on the ground quickly, and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is a thousand years old."
"Okay, get up, there is no one else here." Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Gao Qi who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at Aunt Yulian and said, "Give him a seat."
Gao Qi stood up quickly and saw that there was no one in the room. He walked to the bedside of Empress Dowager Gao and said with a smile: "My aunt seems to be looking better these days."
At this time, Aunt Yulian came over and placed the stool beside the bed. She walked to the side of Empress Dowager Gao, lifted her up a little and gave her an extra cushion.
Empress Dowager Gao sighed, looked at Gao Qi, and said, "As long as you don't cause trouble, the Ai family will always be in good health."
"Yes, yes." Gao Qi quickly said with a smile, not daring to argue.
Glancing at Gao Qi's lowered head, Empress Dowager Gao asked angrily: "Tell me, what happened again this time? This time the disaster of silver should have nothing to do with you! Huh, if it really does.
Regarding the relationship, let’s just ask the emperor to behead him, and the Ai family will be relieved.”
After hearing this, Gao Qi quickly knelt on the ground. He pulled the quilt covering Empress Dowager Gao and said with tears, "Aunt, you must save me this time."
When Empress Dowager Gao heard this, she looked at Gao Qi suddenly. She lowered her voice and said with disbelief in her eyes, "You mean, this matter really has something to do with you?"
"Aunt, I was just confused for a moment, you must save me." Gao Qi knelt on the ground, sobbing.
"Haha...save you?! You are ignoring the lives of those people. You, you...who lent you this courage!" Empress Dowager Gao said angrily, stroking her chest, feeling a little breathless, Yu
Aunt Lian wanted to help her, but she pushed her away. She looked at Gao Qi with hatred and cursed, "What's the point of saving you? If the Ai family knew you were so incompetent, what would they say?"
The Ai family will not support you. If the Gao family is destroyed, you will be a sinner!"
Gao Qi panicked and looked up at Empress Dowager Gao. He sobbed and said: "Aunt, I really know that I was wrong. Now that Yang Ao has been arrested, if he confesses everything, the emperor will never let me go.
Besides, Your Majesty has long wanted to touch the Gao family. You are also a member of the Gao family, do you want to see the Gao family fall?"
"Defeat? No matter if it's down, the Ai family won't have to worry about it every day!" Empress Dowager Gao scolded angrily.
Gao Qi was kneeling down below, not daring to say anything anymore!
Closing her eyes slightly, Queen Mother Gao's face was full of anger. She took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Gao Qi coldly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you are the head of the Gao family,
The Ai family will never care about you."
"Thank you, thank you aunt." Gao Qi wiped his sweat and said quickly.
Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Aunt Yulian and said, "Help him get up. It's not shameful for your majestic uncle to kneel down and cry like this."
Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao was soft-hearted, Aunt Yulian felt relieved and helped Gao Qi up and let him sit on the stool.
Looking at Gao Qi, Queen Mother Gao said in a deep voice: "The Ai family also heard that Yang Ao was caught. It is said that it was Yuan'er who caught him. Originally, the Ai family thought this was a good thing and could make Yuan'er famous.
It's a pity that you have become such a disaster. Although the emperor has not yet asked anyone to handle this matter, if we really continue to investigate, sooner or later we will find you. Unless..." As she said this, a trace of light flashed in her eyes.
With a gloomy look, "Unless Yang Ao can't speak before then."
After hearing this, Gao Qi whispered: "That's what I mean too. Now that Yang Ao is in prison, if we can..." He made a killing gesture.
With a cold smile, Empress Dowager Gao glared at Gao Qi and said, "Do you think the emperor would let you kill Yang Ao so easily in the prison? The emperor has always been calm, and he must have been aware of this matter for a long time.
This son of the Ai family is becoming more and more like his father."
"What does aunt mean..." Gao Qi's expression changed and he asked quickly.
Empress Dowager Gao couldn't help but look outside the curtain, with a cold look in her eyes, "Let the case be heard first. Usually this case will be handed over to the Minister of Punishment. Yuan'er is in charge of the Punishment Department, so there is a great possibility of taking over this matter. This case
Even if it means sacrificing Yuan'er's chance to establish the heir, I will protect you this time. In addition, you should have Yang Ao's family in your hands. Use this to blackmail him and temporarily seal his mouth.
He knows how to deal with it. You have to be careful with your words and actions these days. When the trial comes, he will definitely be released from the prison. You should take advantage of the right opportunity and do whatever you want to silence him."
"Yes!" Gao Qi said with a smile. With Empress Dowager Gao's words, he felt at ease. In the past few days, Yun Mocheng had been targeting him, and he was inevitably a little anxious.
After glancing at Gao Qi, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly looked at Aunt Yulian and said, "What have the Fourth Prince been doing recently?"
"There have been many disaster victims in Liangdu recently. Your Majesty has been helping the Emperor handle political affairs." Aunt Yulian said with a smile.
Empress Dowager Gao nodded and said: "You can't let the fourth prince know about this matter. With his temper, he might really do something to you when the time comes."
Gao Qi was stunned, thought for a while, and suddenly interrupted: "When I entered the palace just now, I saw the fourth prince leaving the palace."
Leaving the palace? Empress Dowager Gao's brows gradually knitted together. Her withered hands grasped the quilt. She said in a low voice and with a cold look on her face, "Where did he go?"
Gao Qi said: "Yun Xiangfu."
Listening to this answer, Empress Dowager Gao suddenly laughed angrily and said: "His soul has been seduced by that little goblin of the Yun family. It is in vain that the Ai family has placed high hopes on him. The Ai family would like to know who Yun Yan is.
What kind of ability can make the most noble prince in the royal family lose all his ambitions?"
Hearing Yun Yan's name, Gao Qi suddenly thought of something. He looked at Empress Dowager Gao and said: "When Yang Ao was arrested that day, this Yun Yan was present, and it was the Yang Ao she recognized. I doubt this Yun Yan.
Yan is not simple."
Empress Dowager Gao smiled coldly and said: "Last time when we were outside, even my men couldn't kill her. At that time, the Ai family suspected that she was not simple. But then rumors spread in Liangdu, so the Ai family ignored her. Unexpectedly,
She tried her best to lure away Yuan'er again. It seems that she is a disaster after all. Get rid of her when you get the chance!"
Nodding, Gao Qi said: "Yes!"
Yunxiang Mansion
Outside Dongyuan, Yun Mocheng rushed over angrily. He took a look at the dark Dongyuan. It was silent at the moment. He snorted in his heart. He wanted to go in and see what ridiculous things that rebellious girl had done.
However, just as he was about to go in, a hurried figure suddenly rushed over, followed by several servants holding lanterns chasing after him.
"Yun Xiang." Looking at the person in front of him, Mu Qingyuan shouted softly and walked over quickly.
Hearing this voice, Yun Mocheng turned around and looked at the person. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. It was so late at night. What was he doing here? But he still said respectfully: "Meet the Fourth Prince."
Mu Qingyuan came closer, looked at Yun Mocheng, and said calmly: "Yun, please forgive me." As he said that, his eyes unconsciously looked at the door of Dongyuan. There was no sound. Could it be that the man in black was cheating?
Him? But, if this is true, why did Yun Mocheng come here so late? Did something really happen? As he spoke, he looked at Yun Mocheng, his face full of exploration.
Sensing that Mu Qingyuan's gaze had shifted, Yun Mocheng followed his gaze. He frowned slightly, then turned around, met his gaze, and said, "The fourth prince came to my prime minister's house so late.
What's the matter?"
What's the matter? Mu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually stiffened. How could he have forgotten that the majestic prince came here but said: "My king, my king is just..."
At this time, a voice suddenly came, "Fourth Prince, why are you here? Are you here to see your daughter?" Yunyue's figure suddenly appeared, bowed slightly, and looked at Mu Qingyuan with spring eyes.
.
Seeing Yunyue's arrival, Mu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "What the second lady said is that I am here to see you."
Glancing at Mu Qingyuan, a trace of suspicion flashed in Yun Mocheng's eyes. He said calmly: "I have some things to deal with now. Butler He, please take the fourth prince to sit in the hall first." After that, he looked at
Xiang Mu Qingyuan said, "Fourth Prince, I'll be back as soon as I go. You go to the hall to have a sip of tea first."
After hearing this, Mu Qingyuan smiled calmly and said, "It's so late, what important matters do you have to deal with?" After saying that, he glanced at Dongyuan and said with a smile, "Could it be that things happened here? Since I am here
Therefore, there is no harm in going in with the Prime Minister to have a look."
Next to her, Yunyue also echoed and said: "Yes, dad, this place is quite far from the hall. It would be bad for the fourth prince to go there alone. Why don't we let the fourth prince go in with us and have a look."
Let’s take a look together? Yun Mocheng’s face instantly darkened. He glared at Yunyue and said in a deep voice, “When will it be your turn to interrupt when we are talking?”
"Dad..." Yunyue shouted softly, her little mouth pouting instantly.
Seeing the situation, Mu Qing hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, this is just my curiosity. You don't have to blame the second lady. It's just that, by making such excuses, does the Prime Minister mean to prevent me from entering?" As he said this, he looked at
Xiang Yun Mocheng said that he would go in no matter what today to see what happened to Yan'er.
When Mu Qingyuan said this, Yun Mocheng was choked up. It took him a long time to say: "It's just a trivial matter."
Mu Qingyuan shook his head slightly. He looked at Yun Mocheng and said, "It's definitely not easy for the Prime Minister to come in person. I met you today and naturally hope to help the Prime Minister."
Seeing Mu Qingyuan's insistence, Yun Mocheng couldn't shirk the blame, so he had to say: "In that case, the Fourth Prince will go in with us." As he said that, he made an invitation gesture, and Mu Qingyuan nodded towards him,
He walked directly into Dongyuan. Yun Mocheng frowned and followed.
Liu Molin, who was coming from behind, glanced at Yunyue, and the two of them smiled at each other. Now, everyone is here, and the show is about to start.
The whole Dongyuan was quiet. You could only hear the footsteps of people walking. It was so quiet that it gave Mu Qingyuan an ominous premonition. It was not too late at this time. There was no one in this huge Dongyuan of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Moving around is too weird.
The lights were close, and with the moonlight, the road was still visible.
Looking around, Yunyue suddenly looked ahead and said thoughtfully: "These three sisters are really showing off today. The fourth prince and his father came over, but she didn't even come out to greet them. Could it be that something happened?
"
"Ahem..." Yun Mocheng coughed in a low voice. He glanced at Mu Qingyuan and said, "My lord, the road here is dark. You'd better go to the hall first."
Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan couldn't help but look at the expressions of Yun Mocheng and Yun Yue. Yun Mocheng seemed to have something to hide. If he remembered correctly, Yan'er was the only one living in Dongyuan. He suddenly smiled and said:
"Now that I'm here, why would I give up halfway?" As he said that, he walked in front, looked at the dark room in front of him, and said, "I'm afraid the third lady may have slept a little deeply today, so the second lady should hurry in and take care of her."
Third Miss, please call me out." I hope Yan'er is fine. If it weren't for etiquette and Yun Xiang and the others being here, he would have really wanted to rush in and take a look.
This was exactly what she wanted. Yunyue nodded and said, "My lord, let's go right now!" After saying that, she walked directly forward.
Watching Yunyue pass by, Yun Mocheng wanted to call her, but Liu Molin came up from behind, put a cloak on him, and said with a smile: "Master, it's windy today, please put on this cloak.
To avoid getting cold."
"The second lady and the Prime Minister really have a deep love for each other." Mu Qingyuan said with a smile.
Yun Mocheng had no choice but to reply: "It made the Fourth Prince laugh."
After being interrupted by Liu Molin, Yunyue had already walked over. She opened the door and pretended to shout: "Third sister, get up quickly. The fourth prince and father are here to see you."
Mu Qingyuan's eyes unconsciously glanced over there, and suddenly there was a scream, "Ah..." It was Yunyue's. She suddenly rushed out of the room and looked at Yun Mocheng and Mu Qingyuan with expressions on their faces.
He was frightened and said, "Third sister, third sister, she..."
"What's wrong with her?" Mu Qingyuan held Yunyue's shoulders and said nervously.
Hearing this, Yunyue blushed immediately, turned away and whispered: "I saw it, I saw the third sister, the third sister was in her room, and I also saw a man... them, them
