Outside, the sky is approaching dawn, and everything is silent, welcoming this new morning.
In the room, a woman was lying on the bed. Her face was pale. Even the birthmark on her face seemed to have faded a lot. Only a faint red appeared. Her lips had already lost their color. She looked very...
Weak. I don’t know why, but suddenly her beautiful eyebrows raised, the expression on her face was complicated, and she murmured something. She moved her body, the quilt slid inside, and her fair left arm was exposed.
, the part of the arm above the elbow is wrapped with thick gauze.
Beside the table, two women were sitting there, looking at the woman lying on the bed with sad faces. The young lady has been unconscious since last night, and her pulse is still so weak. If she really can't sleep, then...
...The two of them lowered their heads and prayed silently in their hearts.
Suddenly hearing the voice of the woman on the bed, the two people suddenly woke up and looked at each other with joy on their faces. They looked up at the woman on the bed and said in surprise: "Miss, are you awake?" The two people looked at each other at the same time.
Walk towards the bed.
However, the woman on the bed did not open her eyes or answer their words, but the words in her mouth gradually became clearer.
"Why?"
After hearing this, Qiu Yuan glanced at Yun Yan doubtfully, approached her, and asked: "Miss, what did you say?"
"Why did you lie to me..."
"Yes, isn't it a cooperative relationship from the beginning?"
"But, I'm so unwilling..."
"I hate it so much...I'm so unwilling...I'm so stupid...I..."
…
Xia Ge was shocked and looked at Yun Yan on the bed. Sweat was already oozing out from her forehead. Her entire face was as pale as paper. Her elegant eyebrows were tightly knitted together at this moment, looking very painful.
Understanding something, she looked at Qiu Yuan and said, "Miss, I'm afraid she's dreaming."
Dreaming? Qiu Yuan was startled when she heard this word. She looked at Xia Ge in astonishment, but what did the lady mean by what she just said? She looked back at Yun Yan on the bed again. When would the lady say such a thing?
It seems to be said to a certain man. If so, Miss...
Suddenly Qiu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the bed rail. A smile appeared on her beautiful face. She looked at the light of dawn in the sky outside. What kind of man could affect the young lady's mood so much?
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Ge glanced at Qiu Yuan and asked doubtfully.
Qiu Yuan raised her lips lightly, looked at Xia Ge, and said with a smile: "Of course I am happy for Miss... However, it is hard to imagine what kind of man deserves Miss to be so obsessed with him. Originally, I thought that only men like Master Feng could
He is worthy of standing next to the young lady." At this point, she suddenly paused, looked at the woman in front of her, and said doubtfully, "By the way, what happened to you following Master Feng? I haven't seen you for so long, and I didn't see you seeing him off yesterday. He
It's not yours……"
"Shut up!" Xia Ge's face changed when he heard this, and he suddenly interrupted Qiu Yuan with a loud shout. Her originally calm face was full of excitement at this moment. She stared at Qiu Yuan with wide eyes, and Qiu Yuan also
He looked at her in astonishment and said, "What's wrong with you?"
As if she knew that she had overreacted, Xia Ge was also stunned. Suddenly she turned her head and looked away, her face seemed to be holding back something. After a while, she said quietly: "No, it's nothing..."
Qiu Yuan opened her mouth and looked at Xia Ge. She didn't know what to say for a moment, but this was the first time she had seen her lose her composure.
At this moment, the woman on the bed suddenly stopped mumbling, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, her eyes slowly opened, her eyes were shaking, and it took a long time to settle down. She raised her right hand and touched her head. It hurt so much. Her body was so...
She seemed to have no strength. What happened to her just now? There seemed to be a figure in her mind, and it was him! Thinking of this, she frowned and bit her white lips. How could she still think of him!
However, she seemed to have heard Xia Ge's voice just now. Yunyan was about to speak when suddenly her throat was blocked and she coughed in a low voice, "Ahem..." She moved her body and shouted, "Water, water..."
Hearing the sound coming from the bed, Qiu Yuan was startled and quickly walked to the bed. Looking at Yun Yan who had opened her eyes, she suddenly cried with joy and said: "Miss, you finally woke up, you scared us to death."
Song, hurry up, pour water for the lady quickly."
Xia Ge, who was in a daze, suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly ran to the table and poured a glass of water over.
The two people lifted Yunyan's body, let her lean on the bed rail, and gave her water.
After a few sips, Yunyan pushed them away. She remembered that he came yesterday! Her eyes swept across the room, and there was no one. He was not there. Could it be that yesterday's encounter was just another dream?
Really? But...she raised her right hand and put it on her chest. It was warm there and the pain had disappeared. She could feel his warmth inside it.
"Miss, are you looking for Master Feng?" Qiu Yuan seemed to have read Yun Yan's thoughts and said with a smile.
Yun Yan was silent, her eyes were slightly closed, and she spoke slowly in a weak voice, "He doesn't want to see me."
"Miss, how could this be? Master Feng is also very worried about you, otherwise why would you have appeared yesterday? Just relax and take good care of your health." Qiu Yuan looked at Yun Yan and comforted her.
Ha, is that right? Yun Yan opened her eyes and looked at Qiu Yuan, with a smile on her lips, and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and your ability to comfort people is getting better and better." As she said that, she glanced at Xia Ge.
With red eyes, he said, "Why do you like to cry as much as Bishui?"
Xia Ge wiped the corners of his eyes, stepped forward to hold Yun Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, you were so scared yesterday. You don't know how scary you looked when you came back, with blood everywhere on your body.
Fortunately..." She paused suddenly, an unconscious look flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are finally awake now."
Looking at Xia Ge's expression, a trace of doubt flashed in Yun Yan's eyes, what's wrong with her?
At this time, Qiu Yuan thought of something and said seriously: "Master Feng told me yesterday that the only way to suppress your illness is to find the Tian Fragrance Cardamom. Miss, after searching for so long, what happened to the Tian Fragrance Cardamom?"
After hearing these words, Yun Yan's expression suddenly froze, and her entire face sank instantly. A cold light burst out from her eyes, and she looked coldly ahead.
Seeing Yun Yan's appearance, Qiu Yuan was stunned. She pulled her clothes with both hands. Did she say something wrong just now?
Xia Ge glanced at Qiu Yuan, and she immediately said: "Yes, Miss, you have been overusing your internal energy these few times, and your condition has become more and more serious than before. As he said yesterday, you have the remaining time
Already...it's getting less and less. If we can't find Tianxiang Cardamom anymore, then..." After talking about it, her face became more and more worried. They have followed the young lady for so many years, and they know her physical condition very well.
. If the disease is not treated, I am afraid there will be no chance.
"That's enough, Tianxiang Cardamom, I don't need it!" Yun Yan looked at Xia Ge and said coldly in a low voice.
Qiu Yuan and Xia Ge were stunned at the same time. They both opened their mouths and wanted to talk again. Didn't they return to Liangdu because of Tianxiang Cardamom in the first place? How could the young lady not just say no? This is something that concerns her.
Life and death. But seeing Yun Yan's expression, so cold and cold, they had no choice but to hide all their words in their stomachs.
Looking at the sky outside, it was almost dawn. Yunyan opened the quilt with her right hand, lowered her legs, and prepared to stand up. She had used up too much internal energy last night, and her body was a little unable to stand up.
"Miss, what are you going to do?" Qiu Yuan said anxiously, looking at Yun Yan's movements.
Yun Yan had a cold face and said mockingly: "Of course I have to go back. If I don't go back now, not to mention it will be very troublesome if others find out. The most important thing is that won't all this be abandoned halfway?" Yes, he carefully arranged it.
After all this, how could she not take a good look at this scene? She had to keep her eyes open to see what else he wanted to do.
Looking at Yun Yan's gloomy face, Xia Ge sighed softly and said, "I'll get you some clothes."
After hearing this, Qiu Yuan looked at Xia Ge and said quickly: "Xia Ge, what are you talking about? The young lady is so seriously injured, how can she go back? It doesn't matter if the prime minister doesn't come back! Are we in Linglong Pavilion afraid of them?!
"
Looking at Qiu Yuan, Xia Ge frowned and said, "Listen to Miss, what I want to do has not been done yet. If I don't do it now..." At this point, she froze, and there will be no chance for her in the future.
.
As if she understood the meaning of Xia Ge's words, Qiu Yuan trembled for a while, lowered her head, and her face became depressed for a moment. She turned around and walked directly towards the cabinet.
Listening to Xia Ge's words and looking at Qiu Yuan's face, Yun Yan closed her eyes tightly and laughed at herself, is she about to die? It seems like this. She gently stroked her chest and felt the sonorous and powerful beating inside.
Just live now.
When she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was not yet bright, and Yun Yan had not rested. She sat cross-legged on the couch, secretly working on the internal energy in her body. She had noticed it just now when Xia Ge and Qiu Yuan sent her back.
, her internal injuries seemed not as serious as she thought, what was going on? And although there was a dull pain in her chest, she could still bear it.
Is it him? How much internal energy has he lost to her, and his health is obviously not good. He sighed softly, why has he refused to see her, after so many years, why?
Thinking of this, Yun Yan suddenly stroked her head, and a figure suddenly popped up in her mind, Ye Mei! No, it was Mu Jingnan, right? She bit her lip tightly, staring forward, she coughed a few times, and tightened her right hand tightly
He pinched his left shoulder and his clothes became wrinkled.
I don't know how long it took, but it was already bright and the door creaked open.
"Miss, are you there?" Bishui looked inside and shouted softly.
The room was quiet, and Bishui put her finger to her mouth. As she walked inside, she asked doubtfully: "Didn't the lady come back?" However, her eyes turned slightly, and suddenly she felt a figure in her eyes, and she looked over suddenly.
A woman dressed in snow sat on the couch, leaning against the back of the couch. She looked in the direction of the clear water, but the focus of her eyes didn't seem to be there.
"Miss, you're back." Bishui said happily when she saw Yun Yan. However, she suddenly thought of something and quickly covered her mouth. She glanced outside the door, but fortunately there was no one outside.
Hearing this voice, Yun Yan came back to his senses, looked at the clear water, and said lightly: "Is there any news outside today?"
Bishui was stunned and walked to Yunyan. She didn't know why, but the lady was sitting here so lonely, giving her a feeling of death. Did something happen last night?
"Something did happen, and it was a big deal. Now it has spread all over Liangdu. That thing is..." Bishui thought for a while and said. When she got up early this morning, she heard those maids and servants
There was a lot of discussion.
"No, let me guess!" Yun Yan suddenly interrupted Bishui. She sneered and said, "Has Gao Qi been arrested?"
Bishui was stunned and said in surprise: "Miss, how do you know? Could it be that you were also involved in this matter? To be honest, Gao Qi is really bold. He actually went and dug out all his embezzled money in the middle of the night.
Got caught red-handed.”
Yun Yan looked at Bishui and said indifferently: "How can I have the ability to set up Gao Qi? Mu Jingnan has really become famous this time. He can even catch the mastermind of the disaster bank embezzlement case."
, there was clearly a hint of ridicule in her tone.
Listening to this, Bishui said doubtfully: "That's not right, Miss, it was clearly the Fourth Prince who caught Gao Qi, not the Sixth Prince." However, from what the young lady said, it seemed that she had some objections to the Sixth Prince. Could it be that the two of them had something against him?
Did they have a personal quarrel? But it had only been one night, and they hadn't even seen each other.
Not Mu Jingnan? How could it be possible? A look of surprise flashed across Yun Yan's face. According to what he said before, wasn't he just trying to trick Gao Qi into showing his weakness? It is true that Gao Qizhen took out the disaster money himself.
.But why was Mu Qingyuan the one who discovered Gao Qi? Why did Mu Jingnan do this!
Bishui looked at Yunyan, her face didn't look good. After a long while, she finally said: "Miss, did the Sixth Prince do something to misunderstand you? I think the Sixth Prince is sincere to you. I
Guess, after a while, he will come to marry you." Saying this, the young lady should be happy. She thought about it and murmured in a low voice, "But the sixth prince is really too slow, he should come and marry you.
Miss, otherwise, the Fourth Prince will come to pester you again."
When Yun Yan heard this, she suddenly looked at Bishui, her pupils tightened, "Haha..." Suddenly, she burst into laughter.
The sudden laughter startled Bishui. She stroked her chest and looked at Yun Yan in surprise. "Miss, what's wrong with her?"
Yun Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and looked ahead with a sneer. It turned out that he had already arranged everything. Why did he want her to marry Mu Qingyuan when they made the deal? He just wanted Mu Qingyuan brother to snatch his sister-in-law and arouse criticism.
He was so unpopular that he would not be able to become the crown prince. Now it seems that Mu Qingyuan has caught the mastermind of the Calamity Bank embezzlement case, but the key is that the person he caught is Gao Qi, and the Gao family is the biggest supporter of Mu Qingyuan.
Strong power, this time Mu Qingyuan shot himself in the foot. Once Gao Qi is convicted, not only will the Gao family fall, but Mu Qingyuan will also be isolated and helpless. Thinking of this, Yun Yan let out a cold laugh. What's going on in his mind?
Careful. Then, the next step is for Mu Qingyuan to propose marriage to the emperor, so his entire plan will be perfect.
"Miss, what are you thinking about?" Looking at Yun Yan's entranced eyes, Bishui shouted softly. Taking a deep breath, Yun Yan said lightly: "It's okay, I'm a little tired, you can go out first." Then,
She walked off the couch, feeling a little unsteady. Bishui quickly came over to help her, but she pushed her away.
Bishui stood there, watching the figure slowly walking towards the bed. The young lady was now exuding coldness and silence, and she seemed to be injured again. Now she was full of doubts about what happened last night.
Inside the palace
At the door of the Imperial Study Room, a pale yellow figure came out. A few steps after he came out, he paused and turned around to look at the words "Royal Study Room" with a proud smile on his face. Although the father just now
He didn't praise him directly, but he knew that his father already recognized him in his heart, and this time, he finally got back in the game.
However, at this moment, when he turned around and was about to walk forward, he suddenly saw a figure walking over. Looking at the person, he calmed down and said calmly: "It's rare to see Sixth Brother come here on his own initiative.
Come to the imperial study, it seems that your father has summoned you."
A man in a light blue brocade robe walked over. His eyes were bloodshot, but his handsome face still had a smile. He said with a smile: "Fourth brother, please don't tease me. However, fourth brother
Now we are going to be praised again. Not only did you catch the mastermind of the corruption case, but you also killed your relatives for justice. Even if you are a member of the Gao family, you can be selfless."
"As a prince, I must be impartial and selfless. My sixth brother is so complimentary." Mu Qingyuan said with a smile, a trace of contentment flashing across his eyebrows.
At this moment, a eunuch ran over at a trot. He saluted Mu Qingyuan and Mu Jingnan and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the two princes."
Looking at the person coming, Mu Jingnan was the first to say: "Hey, isn't this Eunuch Qin who is beside the emperor's grandmother? It seems that he is here to see the fourth brother. If that is the case, I will go in first." As he said that, he
He nodded to Mu Qingyuan, turned around and walked directly towards the imperial study.
Hearing these words, Mu Qingyuan frowned, his expression turned cold, he glanced at the back of the person in front of him, his eyes fell on Qin Youzhi, and he said lightly: "Why did you come to see me?"
Qin Youzhi lowered his head and whispered: "The Queen Mother invites you to go to Shoukang Palace."
Going to Shoukang Palace? Mu Qingyuan frowned. He clasped his hands behind his back, looked ahead, and said calmly: "There are still many things for me to deal with in the corruption case. I'm afraid I don't have time. Go back and tell the emperor's grandmother if your grandson gets it."
Kong, I will definitely go visit her old man." As he said that, he walked directly forward.
When Qin Youzhi heard this, he suddenly raised his head, but the person next to him had already walked forward. He looked at that person's back in surprise. Does the fourth prince know what he is talking about?
At the door of the imperial study room, the man in light blue brocade robe glanced at the back of the figure leaving boldly in front of him, curled his lips, turned around and entered the imperial study room directly.
In the Shoukang Palace, Queen Mother Gao was sitting on the couch. Her withered face was full of melancholy at the moment. Her turbid eyes were looking straight ahead. In the entire hall, only Aunt Yulian was waiting beside her.
"Queen Mother, please don't be anxious, take care of your health." Aunt Yulian looked at the gloomy look of Queen Mother Gao and advised her from the side.
Take care of your body? Empress Dowager Gao closed her eyes. She sneered and said in a deep voice, "If the Ai family is dead now, that would be great. There is no need to worry about them."
Aunt Yulian sighed and looked outside the door. Xiao Qinzi had been there for a while. Why didn't the Fourth Prince come? This time, the Fourth Prince was really wrong. If the Gao family fell into ruin, he would
Where can I still maintain my current position?
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from outside the palace. Listening to this sound, Grandma Yulian looked at Queen Mother Gao and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Queen Mother. No, the fourth prince has already come to plead guilty. I'm afraid he was at that time
There must be some unavoidable reasons.”
Empress Dowager Gao took a deep breath, leaned on the couch and said indifferently: "The Ai family should listen to his difficulties."
"Mother..." came a female voice from outside. Immediately, a woman in a bright red palace dress walked in quickly. Her head was shaking wildly, her hair was full of pearls, and her beautiful face was full of panic at the moment.
color.
Looking at the woman walking next to her, Empress Dowager Gao frowned, her eyes full of impatience. She said displeasedly: "As a queen, it is unbecoming to act in a hurry!"
Being lectured like this by Empress Dowager Gao, Gao Yueli's throat choked, and she quickly knelt on the ground. She whispered: "Mother, aren't you worried? Now that such a big thing has happened to the Gao family, I feel very confused now.
Mother, can you tell me what to do now?"
"What should I do? Haha, isn't this a good thing done by your good son?! You still have the nerve to come here, get out of the Ai family immediately!" Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Gao Yueli and said coldly, her eyes full of hatred.
color.
Hearing these words, Gao Yueli was stunned. Her face was full of grievances. She couldn't stay or leave. Tears filled her eyes unconsciously. She wiped away her tears with her sleeves and whispered: "Mother, Queen."
…”
Seeing Gao Yueli's appearance, Aunt Yulian hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said: "Queen Mother, please don't vent your anger on the Queen because of this matter. The Queen doesn't know about it either. If she knew about it, she might be the first one not to do it."
Agree."
"Yes, if I knew this, I would never let Yuan'er do this." Gao Yueli quickly agreed.
With a cold snort, Empress Dowager Gao lowered her voice and said indifferently: "Okay, I don't blame you anymore. Get up."
Next to her, Aunt Yulian walked down and helped Gao Yueli up. She looked at Gao Yueli and said kindly: "Queen, the Queen Mother is also troubled by this matter now. Don't remember what happened just now.
.”
Gao Yueli lowered his head and said quickly: "I don't dare, I, my concubine."
After looking outside the door, Empress Dowager Gao said displeasedly: "Why hasn't Xiao Qinzi come back yet?"
After hearing this, Aunt Yulian also looked outside the palace. She took a few steps forward, turned around and said to Queen Mother Gao: "I'll go take a look now."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a figure hurried in from outside the hall.
"This servant pays homage to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother." Qin Youzhi ran in quickly and knelt on the ground.
Looking up at the door, Empress Dowager Gao glanced at the people on the ground with phoenix eyes. She sneered and said, "What? Now the old lady of the Ai family can't invite him, the fourth prince?"
Gao Yueli stood aside, her eyebrows twitching, she quickly came out and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, mother? How dare you Yuan'er?"
"The Ai family didn't ask you, step aside!" Empress Dowager Gao shouted directly at Gao Yueli. She looked at Qin Youzhi and said again, "Where are the others?"
Gao Yueli shrank and glanced at Queen Mother Gao. She quickly took a few steps back and lowered her head.
Next, Qin Youzhi's body began to tremble. He lowered his head and said, "The Fourth Prince said that he has important things to do now. He said that when he has time, he will definitely come to see you."
With a "pop" sound, Empress Dowager Gao's withered hand suddenly hit the coffee table next to her. She sneered and said: "Is there something to do? What he wants to do is to kill the Gao family? The Ai family is really blind.
Yes, I have a white-eyed wolf."
After hearing this, Qin Youzhi knelt down and didn't dare to say a word. On the other hand, Gao Yueli next to him had a look of displeasure on his face, but he didn't dare to show off.
"The Ai family doesn't care about this matter. Let him do whatever he wants. Isn't he self-righteous? The Ai family wants to see what he can do without the Ai family and the Gao family." Empress Dowager Gao said coldly.
She said, "Aijia is tired and needs to rest." As she said this, she stood up, and Aunt Yulian beside her quickly supported her.
Next, Gao Yueli saw that Queen Mother Gao was about to leave, and she quickly said: "Mother, you can't ignore this matter. What will happen to the Gao family? My brother is still in prison."
"Ask your precious son." Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Gao Yueli and walked directly to the side hall next to her.
Seeing this, Gao Yueli wanted to go up and stop her, but was stopped by Aunt Yulian's eyes. Now the Queen Mother was angry, and the Queen Mother didn't like the Queen. If she tried to persuade her again, things would only get worse.
Looking at the leaving figure of Empress Dowager Gao, Gao Yueli held her hands tightly, and the sound of the armors clashing was harsh. She snorted coldly, one day she would also sit in that position, and then let's see who can stand up.
Dare to yell at her like this. With a flick of her sleeves, she turned around and left directly, her expression cold.
imperial study room
The entire imperial study was quiet, with only two people inside. Even Xiao Chenzi could only wait outside the palace at the moment. A bright yellow figure sat there on the dragon chair, his cold eyes staring down.
The man said nothing.
The man in the light green brocade robe below stood there, looking at him as well, with a calm expression, but his eyes seemed to be on the person above him, but he didn't seem to be there at the same time, making it a bit difficult to figure out the focus of his gaze.
"Did you do this?" After a long time, Mu Yangtian raised his eyes, looked at the man below, and said indifferently.
Hearing this, Mu Jingnan raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and said lightly: "What is the emperor talking about?"
"I'm talking to you, so don't be sloppy." Mu Yangtian's eyes darkened and he said coldly.
With a cold smile, Mu Jingnan looked at the man above and said indifferently: "Didn't I just reply to my father's words? Is my father planning to accuse me of this incompetent son?"
"After speaking, his eyes were full of ridicule.
Mu Yangtian raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask you, is it you?"
