Chapter 13
"Why?" Su Xi didn't understand.

Yun Zhao raised his hand to tidy up the broken hair between his temples, and tugged at the corners of his lips in front of the bronze mirror, but there was no smile in the eyes of the person in the bronze mirror.

"In short, you and Mammy can rest assured that she is a smart person and won't try to get what she can't get."

What Yun Zhao thought was right, Yun Shuiling went all the way to Bei Xiao not to seduce Xiao Changyin.

She hated Xiao Changyin to death, her father and elder brother all died in the "civil strife".

That's right, what was said to the outside world was not that Bei Xiao attacked the country of Yun, but that the country of Yun was in turmoil, and Bei Xiao gave a helping hand.

It is a great irony that the culprit has become a hero instead.

And her father, even though he is dead, has become a scum that everyone hates and despises.

Except for her father and brother, the girls in the mansion were not punished, but Yun Shuiling also knew that her father had been charged with treason, so it was impossible for her to end well in Yun Country.

Noble families would not be willing to have a daughter-in-law like her, and she disdained to marry her lowly, so she might as well come to Beixiao and take a risk.

Even if you lose, you just lose your life.

Yun Shuiling bought a yard nearby after leaving Zheng's house, she was alone when she came.

On the contrary, Zheng Yue saw that he was lonely and pitiful, so he sent maids, servants and guards over.

Looking at the tall and handsome man in front of her, Yun Shuiling slightly hooked her lips, revealing a gentle and distant smile.

"Thank you Brother Zheng." She blessed her body.

Zheng Yue hurriedly avoided her gift and said, "Where can I receive a gift from the princess."

The title of Yunyi Fifth Prince has been cut off, but the titles of the girl in the mansion, the princess or the county master are still there.

So Zheng Yue's sentence is not wrong.

Yun Shuiling's eyes were red, but she still endured it, and said in a mocking tone, "Brother Zheng, have you ever seen a princess like me?"

Zheng Yue stopped talking, feeling a little guilty.

Previously, he was the one who met Yun Yi on behalf of the crown prince, who knew it would end up like this.

Seeing the man with his head down stubbornly holding back his tears, Zheng Yue felt sorry for him and gave him a badge.

"If the princess is useful in the future, you can ask someone to go to Zheng's mansion with the token."

After a while, Yun Shuiling ordered the gate to be closed, and casually held the token.

The Zheng family can be regarded as the one that can walk sideways in Beixiao.

And behind the Zheng family is Concubine Zheng who has been favored for more than ten years.

But for her, it wasn't enough.

She put the waist card aside, picked up the half-embroidered handkerchief and continued to embroider.

On the other side, Yun Zhao packed up and went to Yongning Palace.

But when he was at the door, he was stopped.

The palace man with a cold face said, "The Empress is grounded. Your Majesty has ordered that no one be allowed to go in and visit her."

The emperor gave the empress steps, but the empress not only failed to go down the steps, but also raised the steps.

This made the emperor very angry, and directly grounded the person in Yongning Palace.

When Concubine Zheng heard the news, she was overjoyed to have someone set up a table of the emperor's favorite dishes, so she twisted her waist and invited the emperor over.

The emperor also liked Concubine Zheng's gentleness, so he rested in Fuying Tower that night.

This made all the concubines who were worried about the queen's favor turn their eyes on Concubine Zheng again.

Yun Zhao didn't go back, but waited at the door for a while.

She caught a glimpse of a young eunuch leaving in a hurry, and after a while, Shouan hurried over.

Shou An saluted Yun Zhao with a smile, then let the palace guards at the door disperse, reprimanded him, and sent Yun Zhao in again.

The queen was writing inside, and when she heard Mother Feng coming to report, she couldn't help but put down the pen, wiped off some ink stains on her hands, and walked over in a few steps.

Yun Zhao brought out the drink from the wooden box, and the queen accepted it helplessly.

"You all go down."

"I have something to say to the Crown Princess alone."

The queen took a sip of her drink, and seeing the concern in Yun Zhao's eyes, she couldn't help but smiled, "It's fine once or twice, that's small-minded."

Hearing this, Yun Zhao couldn't help being choked by the drink he drank into his mouth, coughing uncontrollably.

"Mother?"

"It's the one you want."

Yun Zhao paused with his hand hanging in the air, and couldn't hide the astonishment in his eyes.

The queen looked at her now, as if she was looking at herself many years ago, but...it was different after all.

She sighed faintly, and took Yun Zhao's hand, "Zhao Zhao, Yun Kingdom can only be good if you and the prince are good."

Yun Zhao smiled unnaturally, "Queen, what are you talking about?"

"You are a clever boy, and you will not fail to understand what I mean."

"Because of Yun Guo's affairs, you think Chang Yin is your enemy, right?" the Queen asked.

Yun Zhao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

She knew that, as the queen said, she couldn't help hating Xiao Changyin.

The queen smiled slightly, and looked at Yun Zhao with more gentle eyes, "Zhao Zhao, many things in this world are not only right or wrong, but also helpless as a last resort."

"You can hate him, but you must never let others know that you hate him."

The Queen didn't say the whole thing, she knew Yun Zhao would understand what she meant.

I don't know how long it took, Yun Zhao got up slowly, and saluted the queen, "Mother, my son will go back first."

Nanny Feng came in and said, "Princess Concubine's complexion doesn't look very good, why don't I invite the imperial physician to take a look."

The queen shook her head, "No need, she just understands something."

Nanny Feng has been by the queen's side for many years, and it becomes clear when she hears it.

"Since Concubine Zheng is idle, let her do more things to save her from staring at the East Palace day and night."

Seeing this, Mother Feng mentioned the newly selected show girl, "There is a woman surnamed Lin who is very beautiful, but... for some reason, she angered Concubine Zheng, and even got a high fever after being beaten up."

"Let the imperial physician pass."

Nanny Feng nodded, and went to find the imperial physician when she went out.

Yun Zhao left the gate of Yongning Palace, still in a daze.

Su Xi saw that there was such a big difference in her expression when she went in and when she came out, so she asked worriedly, "Crown princess, is it true that the empress intends to choose a side concubine for His Royal Highness?"

Yun Zhao couldn't help being stunned, Su Xi's words kept echoing in her mind.

She was in a bad mood, and Su Xi felt that it was because Xiao Changyin wanted to accept the side concubine.

It was as if her joy and happiness were tied to Xiao Changyin's body.

"Princess?"

"It's nothing." Yun Zhao came back to his senses and explained, "The room was so stuffy, that's why I came out."

"Who knew the sky would sink again."

She attributed the bad mood she showed to the weather.

Su Xi didn't doubt it, and looked at the sky, "It might rain sometime, the princess should go back first."

Yun Zhao didn't refuse, his frail figure stood upright, and he picked up a few crape myrtle flowers that had fallen on the ground by the side of the road.

When she got to the bridge, she let go of her hand and watched the flowers float away on the water.
