Holding hands to see the world

Chapter 124
Situ Jing was startled when he heard the words, his brows were a little lost, he lowered his eyes and smiled wryly, "Yes, now even the court knows that the emperor loves Ah Wan very much, so I have nothing else to worry about."

"Brother..." Situ Bingqing held his brother's hand and stared at him, "Ah Wan is doing well, we should be happy for her."

Situ Jing nodded, "I should be happy, and I am very happy too. You don't have to worry. I only hate myself for being too cowardly and unable to get rid of the shackles of the family. I like her so much, but I can't just allow her to be a wife... I'll be brave..."

"Brother." Situ Bingqing interrupted his brother, and said firmly: "This is impossible. The aristocratic family has collided with the imperial power for many years. Even the reason why I did not enter the palace is not what Ah Wan thought. All I want is for me to marry into an aristocratic family to strengthen the bondage of each other's interests. You and I are people who can't help our fate, brother, people like us are born to carry the burden of the family, and we can't get rid of it or throw it away. No Parents, without a family, how can we be here today? Ah Wan, she understands this, and Ah Wan also has her own difficulties, don't blame yourself, she is doing well now, isn't she? "

Situ Jing gave a wry smile, sighed heavily, didn't say anything more, opened the letter and slowly read it word by word.On the surface, this letter looks like a greeting between friends, very ordinary, and there is no clue at all.

Frowning, Situ Jing looked at his younger sister, "There is nothing inappropriate about this letter."

"Yes, I can't see it, but brother, Ah Wan replied to the letter as soon as she received your message. She must have hidden something in the letter, but we can't see it." Situ Bingqing has read it many times, and his emotions A little impatient, "Ah Wan is not someone who does boring things, what is she trying to tell us?"

"I just want to play in the time when I was young, the rain flower platform, the long path and the slope, and the singing of the pipa..." Situ Jing read softly, and looked up at Situ Bingqing.

Situ Qing looked into his brother's eyes, and said, "Ah Wan and I used to play the pipa for fun, and playing the pipa is Ah Wan's unique skill...wait..." Situ Bingqing seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he looked Looking at Situ Jing, he said, "Brother, I understand."

Situ Jing asked, "What do you understand?"

"Back when Ah Wan and I were playing the pipa at Yuhua Terrace, we used to talk about world affairs, and we mentioned Baili Chengxuan among them."

"How did Ah Wan know about Baili Chengxuan?" Situ Jing was puzzled. Normally, Ye Wan's age should not know about this person.

"You forgot that Ah Wan's father used to be a general, and the most frequent incidents in the general's mansion are the beatings and killings. If you hear about it a lot, you'll know it." Situ Bingqing said.

"That's true. Although Lieutenant General Ye didn't personally participate in the battle at the beginning, he was also one of the backups. Xiaoxi is naturally more intelligent. Then what did she say?"

"I vaguely remember that Ah Wan said at the time that Baili Chengxuan was very deceitful, and his unconstrained fighting methods, I don't know how many people suffered from him. Back then, when Sheng Jia personally conquered, he also fought a few defeats to figure it out. It is the law that turns defeat into victory."

"I've heard this too. I've asked many ministers to investigate Baili Chengxuan these days, and I know what you said." Situ Jing smiled. Ah Wan is a woman after all, so I just heard that I don't know much, and Lieutenant General Ye definitely won't talk about this at home.

"But, brother, there is a very clear meaning in Ye Ye's letter, asking you to invite brother Ye Ning to the team aiming at the peace talks." Situ Bingqing pointed to a few words in the letter and said, although Ye Ye used metaphors, Situ Bingqing could still read it.

"Bring Ye Ning?" Situ Jing was taken aback, "Nonsense, if something happens to his brother, she will hate me for the rest of her life, that's not okay!"

Situ Bingqing was also a little confused about what he was going to do at night. The two siblings sat facing each other, one with a worried look and the other with a helpless look.It's summer, but I feel that cold sweat is seeping out of every pore, which makes people very uneasy.

"Ye Ye's temperament is never a person who talks nonsense, maybe there is some deep meaning." Situ Bingqing said slowly with a slight frown.

Situ Jing shook his head, "Not to mention the danger of this trip, Ye Ning is Ah Wan's only brother, so we can't let him take risks. Just because of Ye Ning's status as the imperial guard, he wants to be included in the mission It's not easy. The emperor is competing with the aristocratic family, and there are some things he can't do."

Situ Bingqing didn't really understand political matters, so when he heard his elder brother say this, he said, "As a woman, I don't know much about government affairs, but I do understand Ah Wan, brother, since Ah Wan said that, there must be something Her reasoning, why don't we give it a try."

Situ Jing looked at the girl, hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm afraid it won't be easy, Ye Ning's boss is Su Guang, you know Su Guang, he is the most rigid and unaccommodating person. It’s just going to be even harder to come.”

Situ Bingqing nodded slightly, "I've only heard about this person, Su Guang, and never met a real person, but I told you once, Ah Wan, that once when Ah Wan was in danger, it was Master Su who came out to help. If it is true This is the case, so it can be seen that Mr. Su is not really an unreasonable person."

"What else?" Situ Jing was a little surprised, "What happened at that time, please tell me in detail."

Situ Bingqing didn't know the specifics of the situation either, so he only gave a general overview of what he knew. At that time, he had to keep it secret for Su Guang at that time, so naturally he wouldn't tell everything, and that's what he said inadvertently later on at night. One sentence, was asked by Situ Bingqing a few words, and said in general.

Therefore, what Situ Jing heard from Situ Bingqing was just an incomplete story, but even such an incomplete story could reveal another side of a person.

"I didn't expect that the old-fashioned way of acknowledging death can actually save people in danger. It's surprising." Situ Jing smiled suddenly, looked at Situ Bingqing and said, "Sister, do you know? Right arm and right arm, one is Wang Zimo, and the other is Su Guang. Wang Zimo is extremely smooth, he can't hold back his hands, he can do everything, but as long as it touches the interests of the emperor, Absolutely not doing business for you, the most cunning and cunning. Suguang and Wang Zimo are simply incompatible with each other. Suguang has a cold face and mean words. Everything is done according to the rules and regulations. Such a cold face for so many years, no I know how many people hate him, but although this person is not very understanding of the world, he is very dedicated to his job. Don't look at him coldly, he knows how to cook dumplings in a teapot, and he never gets caught when he does things. I always thought he was a With a cold face and a cold heart, there is no trace of warmth, and I didn't expect to be able to be with an unrelated person, which is a bit interesting."

Situ Bingqing chuckled, and said casually: "I'm not very interested in what kind of person he is, I just hope that what I say can help my brother. What's more, such a man, who is a woman who keeps a straight face all day long?" Marrying him is really a crime in the previous life."

Who wants to live with an ice cube, or a person who can't make a sound with three sticks, that's really depressing.

Situ Jing stood up and said, "Let me think about this matter, maybe I should talk to Ye Ning in private."

"Alright, after all, he is Ah Wan's real brother, so maybe he understands what Ah Wan means." Situ Bingqing nodded slowly, looked at his brother and said, "Brother, can you really not refuse this trip? "

Situ Jing turned around, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and half of his face was covered by the sun, only to see a very shallow arc raised at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be a little brighter than the sun, "Do you think there are still people in the aristocratic family?" Is there anyone better than me?"

Situ Bing was silent, indeed not.

Situ Jing strode away, and the jade-like figure gradually disappeared on the path among the flowers.

Even at night in the palace, he was restless, but this kind of anxiety could not be revealed, especially when there was such a shrewd person as Yun Xi by his side, let alone make mistakes, and could only sit quietly as before, holding a cup of tea. Juan Shu seemed to be watching intently.

"Ms. Gan has already been familiar with all the palaces. In half a month, Empress Biansi Xiaoyuan's death day will pass. From now on, there must be no music in the palace, no brightly colored clothes, and even the food should be light. " Yun Xi said in a low voice.

Hearing the words at night, he was taken aback, "What?"

Yun Xi looked at the night with such surprise and dissatisfaction, thinking that it was dissatisfaction with Mrs. Gan's words, but it was a sign of respect to the former queen, and Yun Xi also thought it was no big deal, but look at this night With such a look on his face, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and Wei repeated what he had just said in a stiff voice.

Ye Ye is a very cautious person, and Yun Xi's emotional resistance can naturally be felt. In a flash of thought, he asked casually: "I have heard that Madam Gan and Queen Xiaoyuan are sisters and have an unusual relationship. , I never thought Mrs. Gan would actually do this, if she really had a deep affection for the former Queen and sisters, she would never have done such a thing."

Yun Xi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding the meaning of the night, and turned to look at her, "Why did the young master say that?"

"Empress Xiaoyuan has passed away for many years, and now there is no master in the middle palace, and there are many concubines in the harem. Mrs. Gan made everyone wear plain clothes and vegetarian food for half a month with such fanfare. Wouldn't it cause everyone in the harem to resent the former queen? The empress is respectful, so you shouldn't let future generations resent the former empress." Ye Ye said, looking at Yun Xi's thoughtful look, he added another sentence, "Empress Xiaoyuan comes from the Li family. The Li family is the head of the aristocratic family, but there are quite a few women sent to the palace among the aristocratic families. It is not necessarily that the daughters of other families are really willing to wrong themselves for a person who has passed away. The dead are gone, but the living is still alive, Mrs. Gan Is it really good for the first queen?"

Listening to Ye Ye's words, Yun Xi gradually recalled them, and suddenly felt that she had never thought of this, and it was like a revelation at this time.

"Your maidservant really didn't think of this before. The young master is very clever. I didn't expect to think of this. My maidservant... This servant is so confused that I fell into the trap of the villain." Facing the night, I saluted respectfully, "The servant girl used to be in front of the former empress. When the former queen was around, she was very kind to the servant girl. Now the servant girl is with the young master. I didn't expect that the young master reminded me to know about it. Thank you, little lord, for saving the reputation of the former empress."

At night, he hurriedly helped Yun Xi up with his own hands, and said with a sigh: "The late empress is an extremely admirable woman, and I admire her deeply. When the emperor saw my words earlier, he actually said that she was eight or nine points like the late empress. I never thought there would be such an opportunity…”
