The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 70: Sending Carbon to the Fire
Xu Yingchu sewed a sachet with his own hands and embroidered Zhang Shulan's name on it.

She looked at the finished product and thought to herself, although she was a girl from Fireworks Willow Alley, she was certainly a pretty good actress, but she didn't know how she compared with Zhang Shulan.

When Liu Wenyu came back, he saw Xu Yingchu sitting by the bed, holding a sachet in both hands, crying silently.

"what happened?"

Liu Wenyu asked warmly, sitting next to her, taking the sachet in her hand, frowning, "Why are you crying over this thing?"

Xu Yingchu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and turned away, "There are so many women who admire the general."

Liu Wenyu said: "You know, I only have you, and I don't want anyone else."

Xu Yingchu shook her head, still crying: "She is Miss Sun Si from Zhenguo Palace. They all said you would marry her... I'm so afraid that you won't want me."

"What are you thinking about?" Liu Wenyu held her in his arms and coaxed her. When she started crying, her nose was red and her tears fell like pearls, which made her even more pitiful. He kissed her tears and said softly, "Why don't you believe it?" Why do I just listen to their nonsense?"

Xu Yingchu said: "I believe in you, but what I don't believe is the way of this world. As long as you don't refuse clearly, there will always be countless birds and birds flocking to you..."

Liu Wenyu laughed, "I don't know enough about rejection? Who doesn't know that I must be you?"

Not to mention the people of Jinling City, even the emperor knew that he loved a concubine. What else could she do?

Xu Yingchu bit her apricot lips until they turned pale, lowered her head and said nothing.

Liu Wenyu asked her patiently: "What do you want me to do?"

Xu Yingchu raised her eyes and glanced at him. His eyes were as gentle as drowning, and his tone was as soft as cotton, as if he would agree to everything she asked at this moment.

But she still needs some courage to speak out.

She was also afraid that once she said it out, he would scold her for not knowing what to measure and for pushing too far.

But she still said, "Can you return the sachet to Zhang Shulan in front of outsiders? Tell her that there is no possibility between you and ask her not to do this, okay?"

Liu Wenyu pinched her nervous cheeks and said with a smile: "If you want me to do anything in the future, just say it. I will listen to you of course. Let me see when there are more people and I will let you know." Everyone, please watch the fun."

Xu Yingchu's tears welled up unsatisfactorily.

She knew the status of the Zhenguo Palace, but he was actually willing to offend the people in the Zhenguo Palace for her.

"You spoil me like this, and I don't want you to marry anyone else."

Liu Wenyu coaxed her and said, "How many times do I have to tell you before you believe it? There will be no one else."

……

a few days ago.

Liu Wenyu heard Zhang Zhiye say: "My aunt is inquiring about the affairs of your Liu family. Your family should be careful lately."

"Sun Hongling?" Liu Wenyu was thoughtful.

This woman's reputation is not very good. People in the circle of powerful ladies like to talk about her behind her back. She must be a bad person.

Zhang Zhiye took a few sips of wine and said frankly: "My sister, Concubine Liu, is sitting upright and has no way to criticize her. My aunt has begun to think of starting with your Liumen. This is the fight for the next position. , I always step on others to get up. Brother Liu, I am a scholar, and I really disdain my aunt’s behavior..."

It has always been common for a concubine to have a disagreement with her aunt.

Liu Wenyu thanked him, but he didn't necessarily believe it and asked someone to inquire about it.

It's true.

……

Zhang Shulan?People from Zhenguo Duke's Mansion still dared to send sachets to his house, so it's no wonder that Liu Wenyu didn't show his dignity.
-
Zhang Shulan was humiliated and spent several days seeking death and survival in the Zhenguo Palace.

Sun Hongling was afraid that her daughter would be killed by a head-on collision, so she complained in front of Zhang Yunhui due to mental and physical exhaustion.

"Lan'er doesn't know how to be a girl, so how could she embroider a sachet and send it to Liu Wenyu?"

"That is to say, the Liu family deliberately wants to embarrass us."

"This is all Zhiyi's fault. Why did Zhiyi bring Lan'er to such an occasion to show her face? He wants to ruin his sister's reputation!"

Zhang Yunhui said calmly: "Since it is ruined, it is right for her to seek death. Only by acting like a martyr can people believe that she was wronged."

Sun Hongling screamed: "What did you say! Did you tell Lan'er to die?!"

The boredom in Zhang Yunhui's eyes disappeared in an instant. He took a sip of tea and spoke in a deep tone.

"In this stall, keeping Shu Ting is the most important thing."

Sun Hongling knew this truth, but she was absolutely reluctant to let one of her daughters die.

After thinking about it for a long time, Sun Hongling said: "Let's go to confront Liu Wenyu in front of the Holy Emperor! I insist that he explain clearly where the sachet came from!"

Sun Hongling believed her daughter. Although her daughter had indeed admired Liu Wenyu before, asking her to send a sachet to express her love was something she couldn't do.

Zhang Yunhui rejected it without thinking: "Nonsense."

Three generals from the Liu family, especially Liu Wenyu's elder brother Liu Wenyang and his father Liu Zhouyong, were quelling the chaos at the border. Successful reports came back to the imperial city many times. The emperor was overjoyed and intended to promote Liu Zhouyong to the rank of Taiwei when he returned to the court in triumph.

His Liu family was at its peak.

Looking at Liu Wenyu and Zhang Shulan, one is a young general who has made contributions to the court, and the other is a boudoir lady who is nothing.

If they went to confront the emperor, the emperor would only order him, Marquis Yongchang, to strictly discipline his daughter.

This didn't work, and that didn't work either. Sun Hongling was so angry that she sat down on the armchair.

She thought to herself that this was indeed Zhang Zhiye's fault. If King Xuan hadn't held a dust-cleansing banquet for him and he had taken Lan'er to Xunfang Pavilion, how could such a thing have happened?
Thinking like this, she said: "Have you ever seen Zhiyi since he came back? The servants said that he spends all day with an ugly village woman and forgets to eat and sleep. Master Hou should take care of him." Take care of it, lest he loses the Marquis’s face.”

She had found out that Zhang Zhiye only went out for an hour at most every day, and spent the rest of the time bored in his own yard. No matter whether he went out or came back, there was always the pockmarked woman beside him.
-
Zhang Zhiye named his courtyard Tingfeng Pavilion.

It originated from the small bamboo forest outside his yard.

When the wind blew, the bamboo forest rustled. He often fell asleep listening to the sound of the wind, so he bought a plaque with the words "Tingfeng Pavilion" on it and hung it at the door.

Zhang Yunhui strode into Tingfeng Pavilion. Jiang Qingyue was drinking tea on the stone table in the courtyard, holding a folk tale book in her hand.

Seeing the person clearly, Jiang Qingyue's hands trembled subconsciously, and the tea spread a little.

It's this guy, and he's finally here.

He was much older than he was 15 years ago, but she would remember this face until her death.

The fear of this person that she had hidden deep in her heart since she was a child burst out of her heart unprepared.

In an instant, she was breaking out in a thin sweat.

Zhang Yunhui was also stunned when he saw her. It was already late, and only the moonlight illuminated the courtyard.

He couldn't see clearly the pockmarked face of the woman behind the veil.

But you can see the thrush-like eyebrows outside the veil, and the gorgeous phoenix flower at the tip of the eyebrow.
