It was quiet, and the whole back garden was silent. The expressions on the faces of the three people were different, but without exception, their eyes fell on the woman who was approaching slowly. She was like a spring flower absorbing the sunlight.
, making all eyes fall on her unconsciously.
The first person to come to his senses was Yun Hong. A smile appeared on his face again. He walked directly to Yun Yan, looked at her and said, "Yan'er, you came at the right time. I was planning to send someone to invite you."
Come here." As he said that, he looked towards Mu Qingyuan and continued, "Hurry up and salute the Fourth Prince. He originally wanted to go back after announcing the decree, but he said he wanted to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion, so...
"As he said that, he glanced at Yun Yan thoughtfully. Now it is impossible for Yunyue to marry the fourth prince, and the fourth prince was already interested in Yan'er. This time is a good opportunity. Although there is Mu Jing
Nan is in the way, but at least it allows her to get in touch with the Fourth Prince, that's good.
Hearing Yun Hong's words, Yun Yan naturally understood what he meant. Before, Yun Hong had created countless opportunities for her to meet Mu Qingyuan, and she couldn't help him. However, now, she suddenly looked at
The man next to Mu Qingyuan stood alone with his plain white face. She had heard what he just said. In front of outsiders, it was his disguise.
Yun Yan brushed the hair that was blocking the left side of her face, and she walked forward, directly passing Yun Hong.
"My daughter pays homage to the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince." Yun Yan blessed himself and said softly.
Looking at the woman in front of him, the red birthmark on the left cheek was clearly exposed. She didn't feel ugly, but more enchanting. Mu Qingyuan's originally stiff face couldn't help softening, and he said harmoniously: "
The third lady is exempt from the gift."
"Thank you, Fourth Prince." Yun Yan said, and stood up directly. She raised her eyes, with a gentle smile on her face. She was less cold than before. She said gratefully, "Four Prince, if my sister's matter had not been handled by you,
Please help, I am afraid that all kinds of unsavory remarks will appear in Liangdu today, and the face of my Prime Minister's office will not be saved by then. I would like to thank you here." As she said this, she blessed her body again and spoke sincerely.
, with a respectful look.
Seeing Yun Yan taking the initiative to talk to him, Mu Qingyuan's previous depression caused by Mu Jingnan disappeared in an instant. He smiled lightly and said: "Miss Third, there is no need to say thank you. After all, Gao Huan is also my friend. Besides,
If I can help Miss Third, everything will be worth it."
Yun Yan smiled lightly, lowered his head, and said humbly: "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for your love."
Looking at the slightly lowered jade face, Mu Qingyuan felt as if his heart was not in his body. Such a woman who was sometimes smart and agile, and sometimes as cold as a fairy should be by his side. Next to him, Yun Hong looked at this scene and felt very sad.
It's a joy. In this way, the fourth prince's impression of Yan'er is getting better and better. I'm afraid the day when things will come true is not far away.
Regarding Mu Qingyuan's almost obsessed gaze, Yun Yan could no longer explain how she felt now. All of this came from not getting it, so wanting it, I'm afraid he didn't even know this. But she had to have it in the first place.
Taking advantage of this to get close to him, what worried her the most was that this person's personality was too similar to the person she knew, but he lacked his courage, so she couldn't be interested in him at all.
Just when she was about to raise her head, a plain white figure suddenly passed over beside her, and her whole body deflected and fell into his arms.
"Ah..." She exclaimed, with a look of astonishment on Yunyan's face. She raised her head and looked at the handsome face so close to her, feeling a little annoyed in her heart. What was he doing? There were so many people around him.
"Only look at me." Yun Yan felt a domineering voice ringing in her ears, and he looked at her with burning eyes. As if he wanted to blend her into his bones and blood, the hot breath approached, and her face turned unconsciously.
Hot. Looking at his face again, it was full of depression.
Yun Yan opened his mouth and froze there, wondering why he was like this.
Mu Qingyuan next to him watched this scene, his face changed suddenly, and the anger in his heart ignited again. He immediately took a step forward, and unconsciously stretched his hands forward, as if to hinder him, but he suddenly thought of something
, the outstretched palm suddenly clenched, and he threw it down angrily. There was a hint of hatred in his eyes when he looked at Mu Jingnan.
Bishui stood not far away, laughing secretly. The Sixth Prince really took action when it was time to take action!
Yunhong was in a similar situation to Mu Qingyuan. He looked at Mu Jingnan, was he here to deliberately sabotage the affairs between Yan'er and the Fourth Prince? It was obvious that he couldn't really treat Yan'er, so why couldn't he make her happy? This kind of person is really
It was disgraceful. With his eyes darkened, he suppressed his anger and immediately shouted: "Sixth Prince, please respect yourself!"
With this shout, Mu Jingnan suddenly looked at Yun Hong, with the same playful smile on his face as before, "Respect yourself? Yan'er is my fiancée. Even if I have something to do with Yan'er, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, right?"
The general is just Yan'er's eldest brother. In the future, the person closest to Yan'er will be me. If I respect myself, who will care for Yan'er?"
Hearing this, Yun Yan secretly laughed in his heart. Talking to him like this would almost make him angry to death, but now it would be difficult for his elder brother.
"Let me go!" Yun Yan whispered. She unconsciously glanced at Mu Qingyuan aside. She could feel that he was on the verge of rage.
Mu Jingnan came back to his senses, looked at Yun Yan and said with a smile: "Since Yan'er has spoken, I will naturally listen to you." After saying that, he let go of Yun Yan.
Just when Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a force coming from her shoulders. She looked at him in astonishment, what else did he want to do?
As if he knew what Yun Yan was thinking, Mu Jingnan looked at her teasingly and whispered in her ear: "My privilege."
Hearing this, Yun Yan just felt funny. If she didn't know his true nature, it would be very easy to be deceived by his tricks. However, she looked at Mu Qingyuan again, and he was calm.
Opposite me, Mu Qingyuan frowned. He was so angry that he couldn't let go. Who said he wasn't her fiancé?
"I'll go ahead if I have something else to do. Third Miss, Yunhong, I'll come to visit another day." Mu Qingyuan glanced at Yun Yan with a dark face, fixed his eyes on Mu Jingnan, snorted coldly, and left with a puff of sleeves.
.
Seeing Mu Qingyuan leave, Yun Hong's expression changed drastically, and he quickly chased after him. He said urgently: "Fourth Prince, I will see you off later."
Bishui stood behind, watching the two figures leaving in front, feeling extremely happy. This annoying fourth prince was finally gone. Now no one could disturb the young lady and the sixth prince. Thinking of this, she left consciously.
Only Yun Yan and Mu Jingnan were left in the entire back garden. Looking at his hand on her shoulder, Yun Yan raised her eyes, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "Let go!"
"Are you angry?" Mu Jingnan came over and said with a smile, but did not let go of his hand.
Shaking her head slightly, Yun Yan frowned and whispered: "Don't do this when there are people in the future, and I'm not sure yet..." As she said that, she raised her eyes and looked at the man who was about to disappear from sight.
The figure suddenly said, "I'm not sure yet whether I want to marry him or not."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jingnan frowned. The hand he placed on Yun Yan's shoulder suddenly trembled. His handsome face was filled with coldness. He stared closely at the woman beside him, wanting to see.
He knew what was inside her, but just looking at her profile, at that moment, he didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly tilting her head, Yun Yan smiled lightly, looked at Mu Jingnan, and said jokingly: "Are you scared? It's rare that you are scared." As she said that, a trace of indifference flashed in her eyes, but it was only for a moment.
She chuckled and said, "I will never like people who betray me, bully me, or lie to me. He has several of them."
Mu Jingnan's face stiffened, and he looked at the expression on her face. Was what he said just now a joke? And what she said later was similar to what she said that day. This was probably her! After a while, he looked at her cheeks, his hands moving.
Consciously stroking the slightly pale face, he whispered: "It's getting late, and it's not convenient for me to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion any longer. You should have a good rest and I'll see you another day."
Feeling the cold fingers on her cheeks, Yun Yan's heart skipped a beat. After hearing these words, she forced herself to calm down and said calmly: "You go ahead. I'm fine with you. I'll rest when I get back."
After looking at Yun Yan again, Mu Jingnan finally made up his mind to leave.
However, later on, Yun Yan suddenly clenched her hand. She looked ahead, her brows darkened, and she whispered: "Actually, I want to ask you a question. It seems that I have to wait until next time. I hope there is a next time."
Seeing the plain white back in front of her gradually disappearing, Yunyan's hands clenched unconsciously, and she gently stroked her chest. The sonorous and powerful beating sound there continued. It was probably only at this time that she could feel it.
, she must still be alive. Turning around, she went straight back, and the two figures, one blue and one white, ran in opposite directions, getting farther and farther away.
Suxuan Pavilion
Not long after sending Mu Qingyuan away, Yun Hong came over, and Bishui also happened to be back.
In the room, Yunyan invited Yunhong to sit down and ordered Bishui to make tea. The two of them sat on both sides of the soft couch, while Bishui stood aside to serve.
Yun Hong's expression was not good. He sighed heavily. Looking at him like this, Yun Yan only felt a sense of sadness rising in her heart. She had a father as if she had no father, but she had such a big brother to worry about her.
Cao Li, the so-called eldest brother is like father, he really did what his father should do. She felt a lot of guilt for her eldest brother. After all, she tried her best to hide everything about her from him from beginning to end, but he was heartbroken.
Treat her as if you were tearing out her lungs.
"Yan'er, what are you thinking?" Yunhong suddenly said after a long time.
After hearing these words, Yun Yan came back to her senses. She looked at Yun Hong and said lightly: "Why do you ask so, brother?"
Taking a deep breath, Yun Hong's resolute face was full of solemnity. He looked at Yun Yan and said in a deep voice: "Looking at the appearance of the Sixth Prince and you today, my eldest brother is very worried that you will be deceived by him. In fact, today you are also
I see, the Fourth Prince values you very much. I have never seen the Fourth Prince change his face or even get angry because of anyone. Yan'er, you are the first one. So I hope you can cherish this opportunity."
Yun Yan nodded and whispered: "Yan'er understands what the elder brother said. Don't worry, elder brother, Yan'er has his own ideas and will not let himself be deceived."
Listening to these words, Yunhong sighed again unconsciously, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. Yes, Yan'er came back this time much more mature than before. He had long missed Yan'er's growing up time. What he can do now is
I just try my best to make up for the shortcomings of these years.
"So, brother, I'm relieved. I absolutely believe in you." Yun Hong said solemnly, looking away with a cold look in his eyes, "I already know about Yunyue's incident yesterday from the people below.
, it doesn’t matter if this happened, she is just like her mother, with a charming temperament, and it would have been too high for her to marry the Fourth Prince. If her father hadn’t insisted on having his own way, I’m afraid it would never have been her turn.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Yan was startled. She put down the tea cup in her hand and looked at Yun Hong's face to see what he meant. Moreover, she rarely saw Yun Hong's expression like this. He was cold and ruthless.
Today was the first time that he mentioned Liu Molin and her daughter in front of her. Does he dislike or even hate Liu Molin? An idea suddenly flashed in her mind, and it should not be the same as him. After all, her mother is not her eldest brother's biological mother.
, the eldest brother is just a stepson. When he came to the Yun family, his mother had already fallen out of favor. Yun Mocheng was responsible for all his teachings. He had even less contact with his mother, who was only his mother in name.
It's because she had more contact with him that she developed the current brother-sister relationship.
"Actually, my sister is also pitiful. After all, Liu Gaohuan is not the person she truly loves. In this way, she is a little wronged." Yun Yan looked a little sad.
With a cold snort, Yun Hong sneered and said: "She deserves it. With her mother, she is not much better." After saying that, he looked at Yun Yan and said solemnly, "There is something big brother has to tell you.
, you were slandered a few days ago for going out to steal someone in the middle of the night. It was them who did it. Don’t be deceived by them. Yan’er, you are simple-minded. Don’t underestimate them. There are many things that I can’t tell you right now.
.”
Hearing this, Yun Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Yun Hong in surprise. What did she mean by this? He was so serious. Could it be that Liu Molin and Yunyue had something that she didn't know about?
Looking at Yun Yan's astonished expression, Yun Hong realized that he had said something. He was secretly annoyed, and suddenly changed the topic and said: "By the way, you don't have to worry about the marriage between the fourth prince and you. What happened just now, the fourth prince
Your Majesty, he believes in you. However, the Emperor has been quite critical of the Fourth Prince recently. Yesterday, when he went to ask the Emperor to give Yunyue to Liu Gaohuan, he was scolded by the Emperor. A few days ago, he was even punished by kneeling at the palace gate.
, these things are not something that you, a boudoir girl, can know, and the eldest brother just said it casually. Don’t worry, he is still the emperor’s favorite son. It’s just that it’s not convenient for him to bring up the marriage now, so you can wait.”
Has Mu Qingyuan been scolded by Mu Yangtian? Hearing this, Yunyan's heart sank slightly. She has been busy with things recently, so she didn't ask anyone to inquire about things in the palace. However, this is also in line with Mu Yangtian's
With his temper, which emperor likes others to covet his throne all day long, even his biological son.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, I will wait." Yun Yan nodded and said.
After hearing this, Bishui's expression changed. She looked at Yun Yan in surprise. What did the lady mean by this? But seeing Yun Hong here, she couldn't say anything.
In response to this answer, Yun Hong nodded with satisfaction and was speechless for a moment. He frowned and looked ahead, as if he had something on his mind.
Yun Yan looked at Yun Hong. He had a tired look on his face. He had not been at home since he returned to Liangdu. Even when Yunyue had an accident yesterday, he only came back today. There has been no news at the military camp recently.
The war would not be so busy, unless he had some secret matters to deal with.
"Brother, there is something I want to ask you." Yun Yan pondered for a moment and then said. She had always had doubts about some things, and it seemed that she could only start from Yun Hong's side.
Yun Hong came back to his senses, looked at Yun Yan, and asked doubtfully: "What happened?"
"Are brother and dad doing something? Is it a big deal?" Yun Yan's eyes darkened and he whispered.
Upon hearing this, Yun Hong's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Yun Yan in surprise. Suddenly he glanced out the window and saw no one. He lowered his face and whispered: "Yan'er, don't talk nonsense!
"His tone was a little anxious, as if he had some scruples.
Yun Yan looked at Yun Hong. At this moment, she became more and more sure. That night, she heard the conversation between Yun Mocheng and He Wen. Although she didn't know what they were talking about, she vaguely felt that they were conspiring.
What. What's more, Yunhong was inexplicably absent from the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time. Even though he is a general, he is also the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is only in line with common sense to wander around the court.
"Brother, what's wrong?" Yun Yan asked doubtfully.
Yun Yan took a long breath and whispered: "Don't ask about these things, and don't ask dad, you know dad's temper." He sighed, his face became more and more gloomy, "Today
Dad is very dissatisfied with the decree brought by the Fourth Prince, but it is the Emperor’s decree and we cannot violate it.”
"Brother, I understand." Yun Yan nodded obediently, but her heart became even more determined. Yun Hong was on guard against her, which showed that what Yun Mocheng wanted to do was definitely not simple.
Looking outside, Yun Hong suddenly stood up. He looked at Yun Yan and said: "You should stay in Dongyuan and don't go near Xiyuan. I'm afraid Xiyuan has gone crazy these days."
Yun Yan stood up and nodded. Yun Hong felt relieved and left.
As soon as Yun Hong left, Bishui went over and closed the door. She came back in a hurry, looked at Yun Yan sitting on the couch again, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Miss, why, why did you say that to the young master just now?" Because Yun Yan
Hong is the person Yunyan cares about, and he is also a good person to Yunyan, so her attitude towards him is more respectful.
On the couch, Yun Yan suddenly seemed unconscious. She gently held her chin, with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Miss..." Bishui felt a little anxious and shouted again.
This shout made Yunyan come back to her senses. She looked at Bishui and said doubtfully: "What did I say to my eldest brother?"
When Bishui heard this, she couldn't help but raise her forehead. Miss Qingqing still didn't understand the meaning of her words, so she said again: "You are the one who said you are willing to wait for the Fourth Prince of Laoshizi to marry you!"
With a chuckle, Yun Yan looked at Bishui and said with a smile: "What are you so anxious about? If I didn't say this, the eldest brother would probably tell me how to do good things for Mu Qingyuan and how bad Mu Jingnan is.
.”
"That means you are tricking the eldest young master?" Bishui said happily, which made her feel relieved.
Shaking her head slightly, Yun Yan frowned slightly. She looked ahead and suddenly said: "I don't know, let's talk about it later." As she said that, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Did anything big happen in Liangdu today?"
Bishui thought for a while and said: "Big thing? Yes, the first thing is that the officials who conspired to commit the disaster have been escorted to Liangdu. It is said that the evidence is conclusive, and each of those officials confessed. The second thing is that
Yang Ao, who embezzled disaster funds, was brought to trial again today by Li Gongye, and it is probably still going on. Miss, do you want to see it? "
Trial again? Yunyan clenched her hands unconsciously. Although she had never thought about this before, it was reasonable. After all, the matter this time was so important. However, it seemed that Li Gongye could not produce any other evidence.
Come on, after all, Yang Ao won't let go. Even if there is evidence, it will all point to him, and there is no way to trace it to anyone else.
No wonder he said he was going to rob the prison tomorrow. It seems that he already knew that Yang Ao was going to be interrogated for the second time. After the first interrogation, it stands to reason that Gao Qi had a chance to take action. He probably also had lingering fears.
, did not dare to take action, fearing that there would be an ambush over there and being caught in a trap. But after the second interrogation, if Yang Ao still confessed, then everyone would think that he was the mastermind behind the scenes. When the action comes tomorrow night, I am afraid there will be even less
There are some risks, after all, it has been a day, there is just a prisoner to be executed, and the precautions will be relaxed a lot. Even if he "commits suicide" by then, no one will suspect anything.
"No, there's no need to go." Yun Yan said indifferently. The result was already obvious. There would be no change if she went. Just like yesterday, Yang Ao had clearly made up his mind to plead guilty.
Looking at Yun Yan, Bishui thought for a while and said, "Miss, Qiu Yuan and the others want me to ask you what do we need to do in this matter?"
Hearing this, Yun Yan smiled lightly and looked at Bishui. After staying by her side for so many years, it was true that nothing could be hidden from them. Even if she mentioned little, it didn't mean that they wouldn't investigate secretly.
"Don't worry, I have discretion in this matter. Too many people will make things worse. I just need Leng Xue to help me." Yun Yan said comfortingly.
Bishui nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Leng Xue will definitely protect the young lady."
Although she didn't know what Leng Xue and Bishui said that night, she was relieved to see that Bishui was so happy. That day she knew that the joy that flashed in her eyes after she agreed to Mu Jingnan, in fact, she
Close your eyes. In this case, what she did was not in vain.
Looking ahead, Yun Yan's eyes darkened. Tomorrow night, many secrets would surface. Those hidden secrets would eventually surface. She held her palms tightly, and she would soon have the answer.
