Chapter 476 Father-in-law and son-in-law

"My mother died very strangely." After some lingering intimacy, Ye Junran lay on his back in the middle of the soft pillow, and said rather sadly.

Su Yun had never seen such a sentimental side of him, so she comforted her in a low voice: "The harem is a dirty place, and there will inevitably be some dirty things."

"But she... shouldn't have died so unclearly." Ye Junran said with a wry smile, "Although I was just born at that time, as long as it is done by people, there will always be traces, not to mention the fact that Ye Chen is so ignorant of this person. This matter...the investigation was abandoned on the surface, but continued in private..."

"The first emperor also knew there was something else behind the death of the empress?" Su Yun pressed against his chest and murmured.

Ye Junran brushed her hair, and finally fell on her shoulders, and said softly: "Every disturbance in the harem is under his control. But most of the time, he doesn't want to ask. After all, a man's battlefield is the front. Dynasty, not the harem."

"I understand his mood very well." Su Yun said empathetically.Empress Dowager Li alone can cause so many troubles, not to mention that there are hundreds of women in the late emperor's harem who are as keen to make trouble as Empress Dowager Li.

If everything in the harem needs to be handled by a man, he will have no time to deal with state affairs.

"I thought so at the beginning, until I had the opportunity to get in touch with some secrets." Ye Junran said wearily, "At first, I firmly believed that the death of my mother was just a jealousy in the harem, and this kind of jealousy framed each other. It is the most common in the harem. Every woman has only one chance to give birth to a child, and they will fall out of favor after giving birth. The daughters are okay. When they grow up, they will marry the powerful and leave the harem with their mother. After giving birth to a son, they are likely to lose the last support in their lives when their hair is gray. Therefore, Huang Luo's harem has always been a life-and-death struggle. Any woman who gives birth to a prince is a thorn in the side of others! If that woman becomes pregnant If you are still cared about by yeene—then you must die even more!"

"Isn't it?" Su Yun whispered.

Ye Jun said: "No, at least my mother didn't die because of Ye Chen's excessive love! The harem has the law of the harem, and no woman who knows how to live or die will openly provoke the emperor's favorite concubine, let alone when a woman gives birth to a child. Do it! Doing so will only offend the monarch, and let that woman and her child occupy the most special place in the emperor's heart."

"Then... what's going on?" Su Yun asked.

Ye Junran didn't answer, but kept rubbing her hair with his hands, the skin of her fingertips was a little rough, rubbing against her scalp made her unbearable and giggled!
"...Don't...don't do this!" She stammered, "It's so itchy! It's really, really itchy!"

"But I want it." Ye Junran said half-truthfully, "I am very cold and lonely, and I need to rely on you to drive away my fear with your body temperature."

His eyes were burning with sadness, and Su Yun suddenly felt how cruel it was to refuse all the time.

"……All right."

……

"There has never been a real winner in the harem, only a group of poor women whose consciences have been wiped out by fighting."

In the gazebo in the cold night, Baili Qingxiao showed a rare sadness on his face.

There was only one person at the banquet, but two pairs of chopsticks were placed for no reason. He sat on the left and muttered to the air on the right.

"Yeene, you are my father, but unfortunately I don't have any memory of you, let alone feelings. Perhaps, I should thank you for letting me go free, so that I don't have to be trapped behind the deep palace wall like other princes, Consume all your youth and scheming for a life-and-death battle. But this freedom is not a gift at all, at best it is a scheming transaction."

He laughed at himself and said: "If you have no ambitions for Baili's family, why are you showing mercy to Baili Fengjiao, you have never loved her!"

"I hate you, I hate you very much, I hate you for creating me irresponsibly and making me bear unnecessary sins from birth!"

Having said that, he raised his glass and said to the air: "But I still have to thank you, without you, I would not even have the chance to be born, let alone sitting here grieving over the spring and autumn, feeling hatred and pain What!"

"Perhaps, I have feelings for you after all." Baili Qingxiao said with a wry smile, "Just like Ye Junran treats me, no matter how hard he tries to abandon the ties of blood, he treats me like an ordinary stranger. Human, but deep down in my heart, I still..."

"Unfortunately... these feelings are... no longer needed!"

……

Su Yun was awakened by the faint sound of quarreling.

"Ye Junran, I knew that you, like your father, are super bastards!"

Luo Xuan's voice came out full of anger, "I shouldn't have softened my heart and agreed to your marriage back then! So much so that I got my daughter involved!"

"Father-in-law, those Yingyingyanyans in the harem were brought here by the queen mother on her own initiative, I have already promised Yuner," Ye Junran explained attentively and carefully, "I will send them away soon !"

"Send it away soon? How soon is it!" Luo Xuan cursed, not showing any mercy, "Today? Tomorrow? Or ten years later!"

In the past, Huang Luo's harem held minor elections every four years and general elections every ten years.

Su Yun couldn't listen anymore, she opened her eyes pretending to be asleep, and asked, "Is there someone arguing outside? How did I hear—"

"His Royal Highness Luo Xuan and His Majesty met in the front hall." The female officials answered while tidying up the room skillfully.

"My God, the two of them..." Su Yun, who was already weak all over, felt dizzy.

Luo Xuan and Ye Junran have always been at odds, even if they become Weng's son-in-law, they are still...

"What should I do? What should I do! This time it's really..."

Hearing the words, the female officer sneaked in and said: "Your Majesty has always been cautious in doing things. Although His Majesty has a lot of disdain for His Majesty, but now that he has become an in-law, it must not be too..."

"Who said that!" Su Yun said angrily, "As long as the two of them are together-"

"What will happen?" The gossiping women's eyes lit up with excitement.

Su Yun also came to her senses at this time, and laughed and scolded: "If you dare to ask more about the master, please wait for me!"

"Is His Highness really angry, or do you think His Majesty and His Highness will quarrel every time they meet, like children?"

Su Yun said: "...Get out of here! If you ask any more questions, I'll—"

"That's it?" Luo Xuan walked in slowly, looking at his daughter with scrutiny.

Su Yun, who was barking her teeth at the female officials just now, hurriedly whispered in fright: "Father, why are you here?"

"If I don't come, how will I know what good things my son-in-law has done in private?" Luo Xuan said half angry and half funny.

"...I...it's me..." Su Yun blushed and said, her voice getting softer and softer.

Luo Xuan snorted: "Of course I know you are willing, if he dares to force you, I will—"
