Inside the room, a black shadow opened the door. She walked out slowly, raising her eyes slightly and scanning the roof. There was also a black shadow, standing alone on the eaves, like a ghost at night, silently. In this dark place
In the night, there seemed to be a unique light on his body. Even if the eyes could not touch it, his existence could not be ignored.
Yunyan unconsciously looked at the injured place on her left arm. Her right hand suddenly raised and touched the wound on her left arm. She closed her eyes slightly, and a trace of pain appeared on her quiet face.
After a long time, she calmed down and slowly walked towards the courtyard, jumped up and landed behind the black shadow.
The night wind blew slowly, clothes were flying, and a touch of loneliness lingered in the night. Yunyan felt a little cold in her heart. She smoothed her hair, lowered her hands, and her face returned to calm.
"You came a little late today." Yun Yan looked at the man in black standing in front of him and said calmly, but his eyes fell on him impartially.
Ye Mei was still wearing night clothes, and his face was completely covered by a black scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes, which were deep and sinister, like a sharp weapon to peer into everything in the world.
"Some things were delayed today. The Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't seem to be peaceful at all. Did something happen?" Ye Mei answered without looking back. He put his hands behind his back.
Looking at the tall figure in front of him, didn't he know? Yun Yan frowned, guessing the authenticity of his words. Suddenly she smiled. She looked at him and said calmly: "Nothing happened, it's just the prime minister's house."
It’s just trivial matters inside, but there’s just an uninvited guest here, which is beyond my expectation.”
Hearing these words, Ye Mei's gloomy eyes suddenly froze, but only for a moment, and he continued: "Let's talk about Yang Ao. Now he has admitted that he embezzled the disaster money."
After coming back to her senses, Yun Yan glanced at Ye Mei and recalled the scene in the government office at that time. The man in the bamboo hat was always a hidden danger in her mind. She said in a deep voice: "This is not the result we want, Yang.
Ao is not the person behind the scenes, but I didn't expect that Yang Ao would even risk his own life to defend Gao Qi. When I was hearing the trial outside the government office, I saw a person. Although I didn't see his face clearly.
His appearance, but I am sure that this person must have come with bad intentions, and it is most likely related to Yang Ao's matter, and..." Thinking of this, she said in a deep voice, "I seem to have seen him somewhere.
." She has always had a good memory, almost photographic memory, but now she can't remember it.
Ye Mei suddenly turned around and turned around. He looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Is he someone you know?"
Feeling that Ye Mei's eyes were so cold and cold, Yun Yan was shocked. She hesitated for a moment and then said: "I don't think I know him. At most I have seen his figure. If I see him next time, I will definitely recognize him."
Get out of him!"
Nodding, Ye Mei looked back, seeming to be thinking about something. After a moment of silence, he continued: "The biggest problem now is where the disaster silver is."
Yun Yan glanced at the man beside her. She held her hand tightly, then loosened it. She whispered: "You should be more familiar with Liangdu than me. Where do you think Gao Qi will hide the calamity silver?" After that,
, her eyes fell on Ye Mei again.
"Gao Qi is always cautious, so he will naturally hide the money in a very secret place. However, even though he is the uncle of the state, he loves power and wealth more than anyone else! So, I guess, he will definitely
Hide things there..." Ye Mei said coldly, without any emotion in her eyes.
Where? Yun Yan looked at Ye Mei with slight surprise, glanced at his expression, and lowered her eyes. If she speculated based on his words, what place would make Gao Qi more at ease than that place! Besides, she had heard of it too.
Gao Qi always thought he was a relative of the emperor, so he was arrogant and domineering. No one in the court except Yun Mocheng dared to compete with him, so he must have felt that no one dared to find out where he was.
"What are you going to do?" Yun Yan glanced at the man in front of him and said indifferently.
Ye Mei didn't look at her, and his voice became increasingly cold and ruthless, "Of course he wants to take away other people's stolen goods."
"It's better not to search there for no reason. How could Gao Qi agree? Moreover, we can't know the specific location in such detail. I'm afraid we'll lose everything." After hearing this, Yun Yun
Yan frowned and said, this is the key. Now that I know everything, I just don't know what to do next.
However, Ye Mei suddenly sneered, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, "Maybe he will take out the silver himself?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan couldn't help but glance at Ye Mei. How could it be possible that Gao Qi took out the silver himself? However, she didn't know why, but from his eyes, she could see that he was already confident.
"If my guess is correct, Gao Qi will not let Yang Ao go. Today, Yang Ao has admitted his crime. I am afraid that in order to prevent the night from becoming a nightmare, he will kill Yang Ao to silence him." Yun Yan withdrew his gaze and whispered.
, now she has not decided what to do, but Yang Ao must not die. Whether it is for the sake of her adoptive father or for other reasons, she always feels that Yang Ao knows something important that she does not know.
That day in Tianlao, he told her to leave and did not report her afterwards, which made her very confused.
"Yang Ao admitted that he was the main culprit of corruption, but it was only because he had the handle in Gao Qi's hands. Therefore, as long as the handle in Gao Qi's hands is eliminated, Yang Ao will naturally obey our orders." Ye Mei continued, and he looked
Glancing at Yun Yan, his eyes unconsciously fell on her left arm. It seemed that she was fine.
Yun Yan didn't notice his expression. She suddenly put her cold fingers on her chin and coughed a few times. She smiled bitterly in her heart. She thought her body was fine, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't stand the fatigue. She kept living like this over and over again.
Is it good or bad? However, thinking of Ye Mei's words, she suddenly looked at him, a look of contemplation flashed in her eyes. His words were correct. It was after the loud noise that Yang Ao admitted that he was the mastermind.
.I think that sudden loud noise was a reminder to Yang Ao, letting him know the consequences of telling the truth.
"If this is the case, then we must strike first. But if we release Yang Ao from prison, even if Yang Ao is in our hands by then, I am afraid we will only be slandered by others for colluding with Yang Ao and framed the imperial court.
Important minister." Yun Yan put down his hand and said calmly.
"Are you sick?" Ye Mei said suddenly, ignoring Yun Yan's words. His deep eyes fell firmly on her, but this time, he put away all the cold light.
Hearing this, Yun Yan looked at Ye Mei in slight surprise, his eyes were indescribably solemn.
"It's okay, it's just that the weather has been cold recently and I feel the wind chill." Yun Yan said casually, but his eyes fell elsewhere.
There was a trace of suspicion in Ye Mei's eyes. Late spring was almost over. The day should be getting hotter and hotter, but she said it was cold?!
"What are your plans?" Yun Yan said directly. She could clearly feel his gaze on her, even if it was fleeting, but there was something strange in her heart, so she changed the topic directly.
Ye Mei looked back and said indifferently: "My guess is that Gao Qi will take action the day after tomorrow, and we will definitely rob him."
Listening to this, Yun Yan gently held his chin and buried his head in deep thought. Does he mean to rob the prison in front of Gao Qi's people the day after tomorrow? Why the day after tomorrow? But if this is the case, what will happen even if Yang Ao is caught?
Yang Ao didn't even care about his own life and death, and she had just said that it would be of no benefit to them. She looked at Ye Mei, how could she underestimate him? He had clearly arranged everything.
This was the first time that she felt like she was being led by someone's nose. She didn't know why, but she had an ominous premonition in her heart. But so what, didn't she just want revenge from the beginning?
Besides, she still doesn't know many things. Only by moving forward will all the mysteries be revealed.
"The day after tomorrow, let's meet at the Tianlao. Also, I need to think carefully about the transaction with you and give you an answer next time." Yun Yan looked at Ye Mei, then turned around suddenly, and she looked at the sky
, her right hand slowly stretched out, as if to touch the dark night, but the dark night is invisible. Even if it is close at hand, it is always out of reach. A cold look flashed on her face, and she jumped down
eaves.
Looking at the departing figure, Ye Mei's eyes flashed. Didn't she want to ask him about his actions the day after tomorrow? Did she already believe him so much? Why didn't he realize it? She seemed different tonight from the past. And there was something else.
, I’ll give you an answer next time. What did she mean? He clenched his fists unconsciously.
imperial study room
The candlelight was bright, and the whole imperial study was indescribably bright, but for some reason, it seemed like there were dark clouds, and the atmosphere was low and depressing.
Below, a man in a light yellow brocade robe was kneeling there. He looked respectful and did not dare to make any mistakes. Above him, Mu Yangtian was sitting there. His eyes fell on the person below, his expression was particularly serious. Next to him, Xiao Chen
The son looked at the father and son with increasing caution. Recently, the emperor's attitude towards the fourth prince seemed to be different from before. He had to be careful, otherwise he might be implicated.
For a long time, Mu Qing saw that Mu Yangtian was silent, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Father, what do you think of my son?"
Looking at Mu Qingyuan's face, Mu Yangtian pushed aside the memorial at hand, and said lightly: "Isn't this Yunyue the concubine your mother appointed for you? How could you give her up to others so easily?
Now I feel that you are treating marriage as child's play, where do you want to put the dignity of me and your mother?"
Hearing these words, Mu Qingyuan was startled, and his head lowered further. He lowered his eyebrows and said respectfully: "I don't dare, but Miss Yun and Liu Gaohuan are in love, and everything is just like what I said just now."
In that case, although I am unwilling to do so, if this matter is publicized in the future, I am afraid it will damage the royal family's face even more. Since she is no longer suitable to be my concubine, why don't I look like a beautiful woman?"
"The beauty of adulthood? Ha, what a saying about the beauty of adulthood!" Mu Yangtian said with a sneer. A lot of things have happened in the past few days, and he seems to be there every time. He, the fourth prince, seems to be getting more and more restless. He sees
Looking down at Mu Qingyuan, there was no warmth in his eyes. He slowly stood up and looked down at the kneeling person below with cold eyes. It seemed that just punishing him for kneeling outside that day was too light.
Listening to Mu Yangtian's tone and feeling the pressure from top to bottom, Mu Qingyuan became alert. Is his father angry? Sure enough, is it too hasty? But if this thing can be done, his position as crown prince will be
It’s almost guaranteed, so what if I’m scolded by my father?!
"Father, my son and I just want to preserve the dignity of the royal family, the Yun family and the Liu family. Please help me, father." Mu Qingyuan said again.
"So I want to reward you for your hard work?" A trace of disgust flashed across Mu Yangtian's expression. The next few words he said became more serious, and he suddenly said indifferently: "It won't happen if it doesn't happen."
I have the final say, but why did you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion late at night? This is not the first time. You are my son. I can tolerate your willfulness in other matters, but forming cliques and cliques for personal gain.
I will never tolerate anything that threatens my imperial power!" These words were loud and clear, and Mu Qingyuan winced below. Sure enough, my father knew everything.
"Father, I have no son!" Mu Qingyuan said quickly, eager to clear up the relationship, but can you tell me the reason for going to the Prime Minister's Mansion today? It doesn't seem to be suitable now.
"No? I know your whereabouts clearly. If the relationship between Yun Xiang and Gao Qi hadn't been bad, I would really think that there was some collusion between him and you." Mu Yangtian's handsome face
There was a look of disdain on his face, and he did not intend to continue asking, and said directly, "I have approved the marriage to the Liu family and the Yun family, but you have to remember, it is not because of your sincerity that moved me, but because of my kindness.
Yours. Kneel down." As he said that, he stopped looking at Mu Qingyuan and turned his whole body away.
Listening to these words, Mu Qingyuan felt that sweat was already covering his forehead, but he was completely unaware of it. This was the first time he felt that pressure.
"My son, please retire." Mu Qingyuan whispered, saluted again, and glanced at Mu Yangtian. He still had his back turned, his head lowered, and he was silent for a moment before leaving.
Turning his head and looking at Mu Qingyuan's leaving figure, Mu Yangtian sneered. Sure enough, his wings were stiff. He glanced at Xiao Chenzi beside him and said coldly: "Pass on my secret order to have the second prince return to the imperial capital immediately."
With that said, he looked forward again and said to himself, "If you don't let him know that I have another son, he will probably turn the world upside down."
Little Chen Zi next to him was stunned and summoned the second prince back to Liangdu? Could it be that? He lowered his head and sighed in his heart. It seemed that the wind direction in Liangdu was about to change. After all, the fourth prince was too sharp. But,
Are the emperor's thoughts really that simple?
Suxuan Pavilion
All night long, as if a nightmare had invaded his brain, the scene of his grandfather's family being beheaded was repeated in Yunyan's mind, the blood in the sky, the shrill sound of rain, the cries of relatives, and the sounds of despair, all of which were recorded.
On her heartstrings, there was also her mother's desperate look before she died, and a picture scroll unfolded in her mind.
Early in the morning, Yunyan was wrapped in a light blue dress and sat beside the bed, stroking her head tiredly. She had been feeling a little restless all day long. She didn't know why, but she always felt that something big was about to happen.
I don't know when, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Bishui's joyful voice came, "Miss, did you know? The emperor's decree has been issued, and now the decree is being prepared over there. I heard that Yunyue is sick, and is seriously ill.
Cheng Sheng, she didn’t even go to receive the order today. I see, she has no face to see people, haha..."
After listening to these words, Yun Yan's thoughts came back. She looked at the person who hurried in. She had expected this. It was rare for Bishui to be so happy, but what happened to Ling Bo yesterday made her happy. She was happy.
That's fine. However, since they were here to announce the decree, why weren't they asked to receive it? However, Yun Mocheng had never faced their existence seriously, so it was normal to think so.
"Who is here to announce the decree?" Yun Yan suddenly thought of something and asked.
Bishui's whole face was full of smiles, and she replied unconsciously: "The Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince came together. This thing is really happy. I can finally drive Yunyue out. Hmm, let's see what happens next.
Still arrogant.
Mu Qingyuan came with Mu Jingnan? Upon hearing this, Yun Yan's expression changed instantly. Her originally pale face also regained some energy. She bit her fingers lightly, but she didn't expect that Mu Yangtian would send Mu Yangtian this time.
Jingnan and Mu Qingyuan came together to announce the decree. Yunyue was just a concubine. If that was the case, was she giving Yun Mocheng face? But it still didn't seem right.
"Miss, there is something else I want to tell you. I heard that Liu Gaohuan's wife was a tigress, and Yunyue was an equal wife in the past, but now she is no different from a concubine. Someone will naturally take care of her when the time comes."
Bishui didn't notice the change in Yunyan's face at all and continued.
At this time, Yun Yan stood up. She crossed the clear water and walked forward. Her eyes suddenly fell on the courtyard, where the servants were taking care of the flowers sent by Mu Jingnan. She unconsciously looked at
in a trance,
Bishui followed behind. She walked up directly, held Yunyan's arm, looked at her meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Miss, do you miss the Sixth Prince? Isn't he already in the house? I
I’ll just ask him to come over later.”
After hearing this, Yun Yan looked at the clear water. Did this girl say that she misses people when she sees things? Oh, luckily she could think of it. She did not answer the words, and her eyes fell on the flowers again. When she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she
It's just putting on a show for people to watch. Since it has already begun, the show must continue.
"Let's go, didn't we say that the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince are here to announce the decree? Then let's go over and have a look." Yun Yan said suddenly, it would be better if the two men came over in the end. I'm afraid she would become a joke again.
, she walked directly outside.
Looking at Yun Yan's back, a trace of surprise flashed across Bi Shui's expression. What's wrong with Miss?
back yard
On the path lined with green bamboos on both sides, several people walked forward one after another, talking as they walked. Several servants followed from a distance and did not dare to get too close.
"Yunhong, this bamboo forest path is really quiet. Every time I come here, I feel very peaceful." Mu Qingyuan, who was walking at the front, said with a smile. There was a smile on his face. Now the marriage between the Liu family and the Yun family has been completed.
It was done, and he felt quite relieved. Although he was scolded by his father yesterday, everything was worth it.
Hearing these words, Yun Hong's eyebrows jumped, and he naturally understood the meaning of Mu Qingyuan's words. The last time he came here, he also asked a similar question to this. He smiled and said: "The fourth prince is ridiculous.
It’s all Third Sister’s fault.”
Behind him was a man in a plain white gown. He was swaying a folding fan in his hand and looking at the surrounding scenery. He suddenly closed the folding fan and said with a smile: "It seems that I really don't know much about Yan'er's abilities. Another day."
I have to ask her carefully."
When Yun Hong heard this, his smile suddenly froze. What is this king's Yan'er? He called it smoothly. How could Yan'er marry him? A trace of disgust flashed unconsciously in his eyes, and his eyes turned slightly away.
, Mu Qingyuan next to him was looking at Mu Jingnan with a stern expression, and an indescribable coldness surged out.
However, Mu Jingnan who was behind him was walking forward on his own. As he walked, he sighed and said: "When Yan'er marries into the Sixth Prince's Mansion, I will hand over the Prince's Mansion to her and let her take good care of it.
, I will definitely invite my fourth brother to come and watch it when the time comes."
Hearing this, Mu Qingyuan's face became even stiffer, and he clenched his fists unconsciously.
"Sixth Prince, the third sister of the last general may not marry you yet." Looking at the man in front of him, Yunhong couldn't help but said. This time when he came back, he heard a lot of rumors. It was this man who almost let Yan'er down again.
I have been misunderstood, and I heard that he came to see Yan'er yesterday. His lingering will only harm Yan'er. Only by marrying the Fourth Prince can Yan'er be happy. Now even if he is said to be disrespectful,
No matter what, nothing can be as important as Yan'er's happiness.
Mu Jingnan suddenly turned around, a hint of joking flashed across his almost monster-like face. He looked at Yun Hong and said with a smile: "General Yun, no, it seems that I should call you big brother. What you said
It's strange. Isn't the marriage between me and Yan'er the emperor's will? If I remember correctly, the emperor didn't say that he wanted to annul the engagement this time."
Big brother? Hearing this title, Yun Hong's face suddenly changed, and his look at Mu Jingnan became even more disgusting. Is he just such a ruffian and helplessly pestering Yan'er? Humph, it's true that he is still not as good as the Fourth Prince.
Mu Qingyuan next to him couldn't listen any more. He looked at Mu Jingnan. His words were clearly mocking his marriage proposal. Was it intentional or unintentional? After sinking his mind, he said indifferently: "Sixth brother, this is the right place for you."
Mansion, although you are a prince, you still have to take care of the rules."
Shaking his head slightly, the smile on Mu Jingnan's handsome face became even wider. He looked at Mu Qingyuan and said, "It's boring to behave like Fourth Brother. I have never been afraid of people knowing that I love Mu Yan'er..." However, at this point,
He stopped suddenly, his eyes falling softly not far away.
Hearing these words, Mu Qingyuan felt his anger welling up. He suppressed his anger and looked aside. However, where his eyes touched, a woman in a light blue dress walked towards her. Her expression was as calm as an orchid in an empty valley.
