In Xiangtian Palace, after returning last night, Mu Qingyuan locked himself in the room. All he recalled in his mind was Mu Jingnan's cheerful look at that time.
He looked at the portrait on the table. He wanted to calm down, but he couldn't do it. The pen in his hand suddenly tightened, and the tip of the pen slipped.
A black "long scar" appeared.
The more he saw her face, the more irritated he felt. He grabbed the painting, twisted it into a ball, and threw it to the ground.
Suddenly, the door opened and a eunuch walked in.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mu Qingyuan frowned and said coldly: "Get out!"
The eunuch was startled, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, General Yun is asking for an audience outside the palace."
"No!" Mu Qingyuan waved his hand and said in a cold voice.
Hearing this, the eunuch couldn't help but look up at Mu Qingyuan, and then looked at the paintings on the ground. The fourth prince took great care of them last time he painted and wouldn't let them touch them. Why did he rub them like this this time?
A group. And doesn’t the fourth prince have a very good relationship with General Yun? Why did he turn him away now? Is it because of...that rumor?!
Outside Xiangtian Palace, Yun Hong was waiting a little anxiously. He was in the military camp today. Originally, he was going to lead the troops for training, but he didn't expect Yan'er to come.
If it weren't for the busy military affairs, he would have planned to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion early this morning. After all, Liangdu City is currently in a state of turmoil. Yan'er is just a weak woman, and it is inevitable for her to be frightened. As a big brother, he certainly cannot sit idly by. Moreover, Yan'er is just a weak woman.
She asked him to help and asked her to meet the Fourth Prince. Doesn't this mean that Yan'er has feelings for the Fourth Prince? This can also be regarded as letting go of a big stone in his heart.
Just make it clear. Yun Hong was pacing outside the palace gate.
At this time, a eunuch came out. Yunhong was about to go inside, but was stopped by the eunuch.
"What? You want to hinder this general?" Yun Hong said displeased.
The eunuch said quickly: "How dare you, slave? It was the fourth prince who said that he is busy with official duties and has no time to see you."
Don’t have time to see him? If he really handles official business, it’s not in the palace. The fourth prince is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment. If he is busy, he should be busy in the Ministry of Punishment. Yun Hong’s heart sank instantly. This is the first time that the fourth prince has not seen him. Could it be him?
Do you know the purpose of his coming today? Doesn't that mean that he has a prejudice against Yan'er? What should we do?
Yun Hong wanted to go in, but the eunuch blocked him again. He looked around and sighed helplessly. This was the palace and he was not allowed to come in and out at will. If he really angered the Fourth Prince, it would probably be Yan'er's fault.
There was absolutely no hope, and the matter could only be discussed in the long term. He shook his head and left.
In Suxuan Pavilion, Yunhong sat on a stool with a sad look on his face and said, "Yan'er, big brother can't help you this time. The fourth prince didn't see me at all."
Miss you? Yun Yan gently held his chin, a hint of chill flashed in his clear eyes.
Next to him, Yun Hong continued: "It's no wonder, now the whole Liangdu City has spread that the fourth prince is such a proud and arrogant person, how can he tolerate this. This is also the first time that he refuses to see me, for fear of
He is really angry." As if aware of the inappropriateness of his words, he quickly said, "Don't worry, Yan'er, I absolutely believe you, but I just don't know who is spreading rumors and causing trouble behind your back. If you are caught, I will definitely
I won’t let him go.”
Yun Yan shook her head slightly. She thought for a while, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her eyes. She suddenly said to Yun Hong: "Brother, I really want to thank you very much this time."
Thank him? Yunhong stood up and looked at Yun Yan's confident look. He was puzzled, but he still said: "Brother didn't help you with anything. Brother will find a way to solve this matter. Dad is really,
How can he remain silent when such a big thing happens?!"
Will Yun Mocheng say anything? Yun Yan sneered in his heart. He was probably happy to see it happen. Originally, he, the ugly girl of the Yun family, was going to marry the Sixth Prince. If something really happened to the Sixth Prince, she would at most give it to him.
Smearing ashes on his face is not a big deal. The most important thing is that she, the ugly daughter of the Yun family, has been smearing ashes on him since she was a child, so this time is not a big deal.
Shaking his head again, Yun Yan calmed down, walked to Yun Hong and said, "Dad may have his concerns, but brother, you have already helped me."
"Really?" Yun Hong looked at Yun Yan doubtfully, he obviously didn't do anything.
However, Yunyan stopped paying attention to him. She pursed her lips lightly. Was he arrogant? It seemed so. After all, he was the queen's legitimate son. He had the support of the Gao family behind him and was the emperor's favorite son. It was normal for him to have a high temper. That's true.
She was wrong. She should not have allowed her eldest brother to enter the palace. Wasn't he known as the Four Wise Kings with both civil and military skills? He himself should also know that the rumor may not be true. At this time, the more she cared about this matter, the more she cared about it.
It would make him think that she was hiding something, even if nothing happened, it would make him think that something really happened. Now she was going to compete with him to see who was calmer.
"Brother, if the fourth prince sees you next time and asks you why you came to the palace today, just say that you want to discuss the assassin case with him. Don't mention that you want him to come to the house to see me." Yun Yan suddenly said
Said to Yun Hong.
Hearing this, Yunhong asked in confusion: "Why?"
"How should I put it? If you tell him like this, you will really help me, and you can also help me turn things around." Yun Yan looked at Yun Hong, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
Yun Hong nodded, looking at Yun Yan like this, and for some reason, he felt a sense of loss in his heart. Yan'er seemed to no longer need his protection.
At night, the people in the room were fast asleep, and suddenly she coughed. However, the door and window flashed, and she woke up suddenly, sat up, and looked at the room warily.
"Miss Third, your hearing is very sensitive, so you know I'm coming." A dark figure came out of the room.
Because he was wearing a black mask, Yun Yan couldn't see his appearance clearly. She stood up from the bed and said indifferently: "If you don't take precautions like this, you won't even know if someone assassinates you one day."
Hearing this, Ye Mei couldn't help but look at her one more time and said indifferently: "Isn't it possible that the third lady really fell in love with the charming and charming Sixth Prince? The rumors in Liangdu are more exciting than the others. Could it be that
You have forgotten our agreement."
"Of course I haven't forgotten the agreement between you and me, but you shouldn't forget about me either." Yun Yanhan glanced at Ye Mei and said in a cold voice.
Ye Mei snorted coldly, "Of course. But judging from this, the third lady seems to have already taken countermeasures to deal with this rumor."
"That's my business, no comment." Yunyan said and walked towards Ye Mei.
Watching Yun Yan walking over, Ye Mei did not move, and her cold eyes changed directions as he moved.
Yun Yan stood in front of Ye Mei, looked at him intently, and said, "I'm curious about what kind of face is underneath this veil. We have been working together for so long. It seems unreasonable not to take a look."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to lift the veil off Ye Mei's mysterious face.
Suddenly a hand grasped her wrist tightly, and Yunyan felt the cold light like a sharp knife suddenly shot at her body, and she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
Ye Mei narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice: "It's best not to do unnecessary things in front of me."
Hehe sneered, Yun Yan shook off Ye Mei's hand and said sarcastically: "Do you want to tell me that if I don't obey you, you will kill me? Hehe, I'm afraid you can't let it go, my help is worth a thousand dollars.
Please." As she said this, she sat down at the table, poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "One day I will see your true face."
Ye Mei hummed softly but said nothing.
"You probably didn't come here specifically for the matter between me and Mu Qingyuan, right? Is there any news from Yang Ao?" Yun Yan put down the cup and said.
Hearing this, Ye Mei suddenly looked at Yun Yan. She was smart enough. He looked away and said indifferently: "The disaster in the border area is serious, and a large number of victims are rushing towards Liangdu."
"It seems that the situation in the court is about to change. I don't know how many people are going to fall into trouble this time. Could it be your masterpiece that the victims are flooding into the imperial capital?" Yun Yan suddenly looked at Ye Mei and said in a deep voice.
With a chuckle, Ye Mei said calmly: "How did you know it was me?"
"Feeling, my feeling has always been very accurate." Yun Yan turned his head and said calmly.
Just relying on feeling? Ye Mei shook her head unconsciously. That was her natural sensitivity. She was indeed someone not to be underestimated.
"You seem to have a very clear understanding of the situation in the court. How do you know that someone will fall into trouble?" Ye Mei suddenly asked.
With a chuckle, Yun Yan said: "Because the current emperor is a wise king. If he knew that the officials below were corrupt, perverting the law, and ignoring the lives of the victims, Long Yan would definitely be furious. This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Moreover, not only
We want to get rid of the Gao family, but I am afraid that in the eyes of the emperor, the Gao family is also a big cancer, and he also wants to get rid of it."
"Are you so sure that he is the Lord of Shengming? And don't forget, the Gao family has a nephew-uncle relationship with him. Do you think he can really do it?" Ye Mei said indifferently.
With a slight smile, Yun Yan stood up and walked a few steps in the room. A glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes, "In the face of power, what does it matter if we are still close to each other? What's more, it's just a nephew-uncle relationship. As for you saying he is
Not the King of Saints and Mings? Oh, I have been traveling around in the past few years. Everywhere I go, people live and work in peace and contentment. This should be the best portrayal. Moreover, if he is not the King of Saints and Mings, do you think I will take such a big detour?
Check the Gao family instead of killing him directly?" At the end of the sentence, she looked at Ye Mei, chuckled and said, "Isn't that what you think?"
Hearing this, Ye Mei's expression became stern. He looked at her probing eyes. Was he testing her? He raised the corner of his mouth, which was really hard to guard against!
