————The following text————
"Yulon?"
Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli let out a breath, and the eyes in his eyes were slightly rippled, as if he was concealing some inner emotions.
After a long while, he asked: "Hongrun, why do you ask that?"
"I just feel a little curious, and also a little jealous..." Zhao Hongrun shrugged, deliberately pretending to be unhappy, and said: "In the past, Uncle Liu loved me the most, but I don't know since when, Uncle Liu loved me the most.
The person I love most has become Yulong..."
"Are you still jealous of Yulong?" Zhao Yuanli looked at Zhao Hongrun funny, but he was not deceived by his nephew's exaggerated performance.
He knew that the nephew in front of him also loved Yulong sincerely, even though it seemed a little strange - he was obviously the younger brother and she was the elder sister, but the younger brother doted on his elder sister as if he were his younger sister.
"What? Aren't I jealous of Yulong?" Zhao Hongrun curled his lips.
"Hahaha." Zhao Yuanli slapped his thigh and laughed, laughing and joking: "Prince Su, who once commanded 200,000 Wei troops, actually behaved like a little girl, Hongrun, you are already a man.
!”
Zhao Hongrun wanted to pretend for a while longer, but thinking about it carefully, with his current identity and status, it would be really embarrassing to pretend any longer.
So he decisively removed his disguise and couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing for a while, Zhao Hongrun took a breath, and then said seriously: "Well, I have never been jealous of Yulong... I just think that Uncle Liu's attitude towards Yulong is totally different from the other two.
.”
"Oh? Is there any?" Zhao Yuanli's eyelids twitched slightly.
"Yes!" Zhao Hongrun nodded solemnly, then raised his right hand and lightly tapped his temple with his fingers. At the same time, he recalled: "On June 3, the seventeenth year of Hongde, that day, the old man and I
We had a big quarrel about the wedding. I wanted to elope with Miss Su, but I was stopped by Uncle Liu... That night, I invited Uncle Liu to have dinner at Prince Su's Mansion. At the banquet, Uncle Liu saw Yulong.
, the sudden change of expression scared Yulong to the point of crying on the spot..."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Yuanli had a strange expression, and then he looked at Zhao Hongrun and praised with a wry smile: "Hongrun, your knowledge and ability to remember is a bit too shocking, isn't it?... It was two years ago, but yet
Can you remember the date so clearly?"
"Uncle Liu, don't bother Zuo Yan." Zhao Hongrun was not fooled at all. After rolling his eyes, he continued: "Since then, Uncle Liu, you have always treated Yulong with a cold face every time you saw him. But that year
On July 9th, during the Chenggao joint hunting period, when the giant bandit Huanhu led hundreds of mounted bandits to attack the camp at night, Uncle Liu risked his life to protect Yulong, causing him to be hit by an arrow in the shoulder... From then on, Uncle Liu
His attitude towards Yulong has changed drastically. He no longer speaks coldly to her, but rather loves her..."
Listening to Zhao Hongrun clearly describe every incident in the past, Zhao Yuanli felt helpless.
He really wanted to pretend to be stupid and get through, but the nephew in front of him had the ability of photographic memory, and he could remember even a small thing clearly.
"Okay, okay, there's no need to give any more examples." Zhao Yuanli interrupted Zhao Hongrun and then asked: "Then Uncle Six will also ask you...why do you love Yulong so much?"
"Uh." Zhao Hongrun's expression suddenly froze. He couldn't help but think back to that night on Dragon Boat Festival three years ago, and how lonely he felt when he saw Princess Yulong sitting alone on the stone next to the pool.
Look.
Paying attention to the expression of the nephew in front of him, Zhao Yuanli lowered his voice and said: "In the palace at that time, Yulong was not favored by your father at all. Even though she was a princess, her life was quite miserable... No one was willing to go.
You are the only one who is close to her. Not only did you sneak out of the palace with Yulong on the nights of Dragon Boat Festival, but you even later... Oh, why?"
"Uncle Six, how do you know this?" Zhao Hongrun looked at Uncle Six in surprise. After all, when he sneaked out of the palace with Princess Yulong to play in the city three years ago, Uncle Six in front of him was still far away.
Longxi.
After hearing Zhao Hongrun's question, Zhao Yuanli was stunned and said without changing his expression: "Uncle Liu, of course I have my own connections. You just need to tell me why you are close to Yulong?... If Uncle Liu guessed correctly, at that time you
Someone should have warned you when you were approaching Yu'lon."
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Zhao Yuanli in surprise. After all, as the Sixth Prince said, when he was approaching Princess Yulong, the eunuch Tong Xin had appeared in front of him many times, warning or advising him to stay away from Yulong.
Princess, it’s just that Zhao Hongrun didn’t listen at that time.
"How do you say this?" Zhao Hongrun had a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Zhao Yuanli was very familiar with this nephew. Seeing his awkward expression, he already had a suspicion in his mind and asked tentatively: "Hongrun, didn't you fall in love with Yulong at that time?"
"What are you talking about, Uncle Six? Yulong and I are half-siblings." Zhao Hongrun was a little flustered.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Yuanli suddenly laughed, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Let me just say, you have many sisters in the palace, why do you dote on Yulong so much?
, So that’s it… So that’s it… Well, tell Yulong later.”
"Uncle Six!" Zhao Hongrun stared at Zhao Yuanli angrily, quite angry with embarrassment.
He glared fiercely at Uncle Liu Wang in front of him and said angrily: "Uncle Six, it's your turn now, isn't it?"
Seeing that the nephew in front of him was really angry, Zhao Yuanli stopped his teasing and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm just joking with you, why are you panicking?...What do you want to know?"
Zhao Hongrun's heart moved slightly and he asked tentatively: "No matter what I ask, will Uncle Liu answer it?"
"It depends on what you ask." Zhao Yuanli smiled lightly.
"Well..." Zhao Hongrun pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let's first ask the old man about his attitude towards Yulong... Obviously Yulong is beautiful and cute, but the old man doesn't want to see her. Does Uncle Six know the reason for this?"
After hearing this, the smile on Zhao Yuanli's face gradually faded. After staring at Zhao Hongrun for a while, he frowned and asked, "You want to ask this?"
As soon as Zhao Hongrun heard this, he knew that Uncle Liu Wang in front of him did not want to answer, so he immediately pretended to be angry and said: "Uncle Six, didn't you promise me!"
"Don't worry, don't worry." Zhao Yuanli comforted him, and then, after pondering for a moment, he asked Zhao Hongrun: "Hongrun, do you know about Yulong's life experience?"
Zhao Hongrun nodded and said truthfully: "I know that Yulong's biological mother is Xiao Shu'ai, and she has passed away long ago."
"..."
Zhao Yuanli's eyes trembled inadvertently, and after a moment of silence, he quietly asked: "Then do you know how Xiao...Xiao Shu'ai died?"
"It is said that he committed suicide in the palace because of something."
"Who told you this...?" Zhao Yuanli asked indifferently.
"Yulong said it." Zhao Hongrun said truthfully: "No one in the palace dares to mention Yulong's mother Xiao Shuai. It is said to be a taboo for the old man."
"Oh." Zhao Yuanli nodded in relief, forced a smile, and said: "Yes, that's the case. Yulong's biological mother made a mistake and was hated by your father... Therefore, Yulong was implicated. That's why.
, your father doesn’t like Yulong, and no one in the palace cares about Yulong.”
"This..." Zhao Hongrun frowned and said unhappily: "The old man is too... Even if Yulong's biological mother made some mistakes, what does this have to do with Yulong?" As he said, he looked up at Zhao Yuanli,
He asked in confusion: "Sixth Uncle, what mistake did Xiao Shuai make that made the old man not hate her enough, but also implicated Yulong?"
"This..." Zhao Yuanli's eyes flashed slightly, he shook his head and said calmly: "I don't know either."
"Uncle Six..."
Zhao Hongrun instinctively felt that the Uncle Liu Wang in front of him might be feeling a little inexplicably sad at this moment, so much so that even his voice changed slightly.
"Could it be..."
A suspicion arose in Zhao Hongrun's mind.
At this time, Zhao Yuanli did not notice that Zhao Hongrun was staring at him, and explained calmly: "I didn't like Yulong at first, and that's why... Because of Xiao Shu'ai, your father didn't like Yulong in the first place.
, if Uncle Six and I take too much care of Yulong, it will only arouse your father's suspicion. This will not be good for Yulong..."
"But in fact, Uncle Liu is quite protective of Yulong, right? Otherwise, on the night of Chenggao and Gao hunting, when the giant bandit Huan Hu led hundreds of horsemen to attack the camp at night, Uncle Liu would not have ignored his own safety.
Even if you risk your life, you must protect Yulong..." Looking at Zhao Yuanli, Zhao Hongrun said seriously.
"..." Zhao Yuanli glanced at his nephew in front of him and smiled reluctantly. The look on his face was inevitably a little lonely.
At this moment, Zhao Hongrun suddenly said: "I understand, Uncle Six, you once said that there is a beloved woman in your heart that you will never forget, but this woman has died... This woman is Yulong's biological mother.
Xiao Shuai, right?"
"...!!"
Zhao Yuanli's eyes suddenly shrank when he heard this, and he subconsciously glanced at Zhao Hongrun with a sharp gaze.
Suddenly, Zhao Hongrun felt as if a strong oppressive force was attacking him.
For the first time, he discovered that when the Uncle Sixth Prince in front of him became serious, he actually had such an imposing manner, which was completely inconsistent with his usual image of a playboy.
"..."
Zhao Yuanli stared at the nephew in front of him, the expression on his face changing continuously.
"..."
Zhao Hongrun also stared at the Sixth Uncle in front of him. Regardless of his trust in this Sixth Uncle or his composure honed on the battlefield, he was not intimidated by the Sixth Uncle's eyes.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other for a long time, and the tense atmosphere in the carriage was only broken by Zhao Yuanli's long sigh.
"Yes, she is the person that Uncle Six and I will never forget..."
