Chapter 115

Turning around, looking at the clear sky outside the imperial study hall, Yu Qingyun's eyes were full of waves.

Over the years, thinking of family and prosperity, he acted as a peacemaker among the brothers, protecting this one, and helping that one, carefully maintaining the fragile balance between them.

Yu Qingyun originally thought that as long as he was a good peacemaker and didn't target any of his brothers, he would be able to keep them and himself.

But what happened in Huyang, and the tragedy in Youhe Village, seemed like a blow to the head, which woke him up as if from a dream.

It was because he was too naive, naively thought that everything could be protected by turning around and defending, naively thought that other brothers would care about brotherhood to some extent.

It was this innocence that killed hundreds of lives in Youhe Village.Those dead souls may not be rested in peace, because they will still appear in his dreams, crying to him, accusing him of his innocence and ignorance, and reminding him day and night how much hatred he has carried.

He will no longer be naive.

He should not only know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but also know how to attack.

On the way out of the palace, Yu Qingyun saw Yu Qingxuan approaching him.

The long lane sandwiched them in the middle, and the crows standing on the high walls on both sides were making hoarse ironic cries.

For the first time, Yu Qingyun felt that this road was so narrow that it could only accommodate hatred, and it was so long that there was no end in sight.

"Did the fourth brother come out of the imperial study?" Yu Qing smiled sadly, and got closer and closer, "Father ordered me to go to the imperial study. It seems that the fourth brother said something to the father, let me Go and take over Huyang's affairs."

The two rubbed shoulders, at this moment, Yu Qingyun said harshly: "There is He Village."

Yu Qingxuan's footsteps stopped, and there was an extreme evil smile on the corner of his lips, which was actually a generous admission.

"That's right, His Highness did it. The fourth brother has a good brain, so he thought of His Highness so quickly."

Yu Qingyun shot straight at Tianling Gai with a mouthful of anger, almost growling: "They have no enmity with you."

"They were implicated by you. Want to avenge them? Hehe, the fourth brother is really a person who values ​​love and righteousness. It's pitiful."

"You will not end well." Yu Qingyun warned, "Father understands your thoughts."

Yu Qingxuan snorted indifferently, "No matter how clear it is, it's just a suspicion, fourth brother, unless you can produce evidence to prove my crime to the emperor."

"Second brother don't need to worry about the evidence for my younger brother." Yu Qingyun said coldly: "You will die if you do many unrighteous actions. Second brother should think about Huyang, a hot potato first."

Yu Qingxuan's eyebrows were gradually raised, and the shape was extremely sinister, "Fourth brother, do you think that my highness is just in the imperial study, why do you imply that Prince Huyang is dangerous?"

Yu Qingyun's chest trembled.

Yu Qingxuan said: "If His Highness didn't say that, would he still be able to get Huyang's job?"

Yu Qingyun was a little surprised, "Could it be that the second brother said it to the younger brother on purpose."

"Fourth brother is smart, and he can tell a little bit." Yu Qingxuan's smile was mixed with a trace of complacency, and his tone was really contemptuous.

"Fourth brother, a good person like you who values ​​love and righteousness will definitely keep your idiot third brother. Not bad, you moved very quickly. Your Highness has just heard about the injury of the prince. Now Huyang's this The errand fell on me, so what if my father suspects me? When I finish the matter of Huyang, it will be a great achievement, and it will not do me any harm. In this way, my highness should prepare some good wine Good food, waiting for you at the house. In this way, we two brothers can drink to our heart's content to express my gratitude to my fourth brother."

"Thank you, Bumin." Yu Qingyun said coolly: "Second brother's kindness, I will accept it as my younger brother."

"Oh..." Yu Qingxuan nodded, and his vicious gaze suddenly turned to Yu Qingyun.

"Fourth brother, it's not that you're pointing me out in front of my father this time. Presumably, my father must have a lot of preference for you in his heart. He thinks you are kind and intelligent."

Yu Qingyun's heart trembled.What Yu Qingxuan said was exactly the same as what Emperor Tianying said just now.

"Not bad, congratulations." Yu Qingxuan smiled indifferently: "Congratulations to the fourth brother, you have won the favor of the father, maybe the crown prince will be in the future..."

"Second brother, this is the imperial palace. Be careful to deceive the upper body with your evil words." In Yu Qingyun's eyes, the sternness was as sharp as a sharp edge, and the two brothers were still standing where they rubbed shoulders, looking at each other.

"That's right." Yu Qing smiled evilly: "What will happen in the future is uncertain, not to mention that we are all focused on staring at brothers and sisters, but forget that some collaterals may be more threatening..."

Yu Qingyun naturally understood who this "collateral" refers to.He said: "There is no need to involve King Jin in the enmity between you and me."

"Oh, I can't help it." Yu Qingxuan's eyes turned hard, "Then we have to see whether he is our cousin or our real brother."

"Farewell, brother." Yu Qingyun didn't want to say any more, she looked away, raised her sleeves and bowed her hands.

"Fourth brother, go slowly, thank you very much." Yu Qing smiled evilly, and the two brothers passed by.

The figures of the two were pulled farther and farther away by the long Yongxiang, and the crows standing on the high red walls on both sides suddenly flocked and flew away. ...

The news that Yu Qingxuan replaced Yu Qingyang and went to Huyang to take care of the aftermath reached the ears of Wen Wu, the clan's relatives in the court, in the evening of that day.

Xiao Sesu also heard the news, straightened her skirt and stood up, and sprinkled the remaining crumbs of steamed buns towards the back lake.

This news was unexpected to some people, but to Yu Wangyan and Xiao Sesu, it was completely expected.

They have all noticed the changes in Yu Qingyun. People who carry too much hatred on their shoulders may deviate from the track in the future.Xiao Sesu had such worries, so she was faintly afraid that she and Yu Qingyun would become enemies in the future.

She could see that Yu Wangyan treated Yu Qingyun much more affectionately. For Yu Wangyan, she hoped that she was just thinking too much.

Due to the many events in May of this year, the Dragon Boat Festival, which was originally planned by the imperial court, could not be held.Fortunately, there were two leap months in the year of Yisi. Emperor Tianying arranged this grand ceremony on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. One was to celebrate the festival, and the other was to welcome King Xunyang who had returned from the front line of the Northern Wei Dynasty with a lively appearance.

Coincidentally, King Xunyang was transferred to the border to fight, and within a few days, the Yuan clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty stopped fighting because they wanted to rectify internal strife, and even took the initiative to enter into an marriage relationship with Dayao.

I heard that envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty came over in the beginning of May, and hoped that Dayao could marry an emperor concubine as a concubine, and that he would become the queen of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the future, so that the two countries would form an alliance forever.

This happened suddenly. Although it was a good thing for Dayao, Xiao Sesu remembered that one night before leaving Huyang, Zhao Fangyan under the starry sky, staring at the stars in the north, said to Yu Qingyun: "Yinghuo, keep your heart!" ...There was a great chaos within the Northern Wei Dynasty, Fang Yan thought that perhaps the winner would be Dayao."

Yinghuo Shouxin is an extremely ominous astrology, mostly related to princes and generals, and now the real internal strife in the Northern Wei Dynasty was actually mentioned by Zhao Fangyan again.

Thinking of Zhao Fangyan, Xiao Sesu thought of the gossip that Luyi had told her this morning.

Luyi described it vividly, saying that Zhao Fangyan is now under house arrest in the Zhao family, and is educated by the elders in the family every day to let her marry the prince obediently and help the prince regain his favor.In addition, what happened in Huyang made it difficult for the Zhao family and the princelings. At this time, because they were afraid that the prince would have a different heart, the Zhao family wanted to conclude this marriage and firmly control the prince.

Hearing this, Xiao Sesu used the lid of the teacup to lightly dip the mouth of the cup, and said with a smile, "Who do you listen to these words?"

"Who do you need to listen to? It has already spread on the street!" Lu Yi shouted.

"Nonsense." Xiao Sesel smiled slightly, "I believe you heard it on the street in the first half, but in the second half, where did you hear the words 'The Zhao family is afraid that the prince will have a different heart'?"

"Ah? These..." Lvyi said discouragedly: "Master Shanzong said it."

"I know it's their speculation." Xiao Sesu was helpless, drinking tea and laughing secretly.

After drinking a few sips, she smiled and said to Lu Yi: "Help me look through the almanac, and fold a corner of the page on the second day of the fifth lunar month."

"Why, miss?" Lu Yi asked curiously even though she followed suit.

Xiao Sesel said: "King Xunyang arrived in Beijing that day, and there will be a big banquet in the palace at night. The prince has been busy recently, let's help him remember the date, so as not to be too hasty when the time comes."

"Miss is more careful!" Lu Yi slapped her head and said: "Miss, there is one more thing that Lu Yi forgot to say. I heard from people on the street that King Xunyang was born with a pair of blue eyes, which is quite scary! In addition, his princess I also want to come from the south to celebrate together, everyone says that Princess Xunyang is a little aunt who would rather mess with the King of Hades than her! Miss, on the day of the palace banquet, you and the prince should stay away from their husband and wife!"

"Understood, don't worry." Xiao Sesu smiled.

Having said that, on the day of the palace banquet, Xiao Sesu found helplessly that Princess Xunyang seemed to be very interested in her.

She originally only wanted to be a low-key wife, eating and drinking tea with her head bowed, but Princess Xunyang's high profile made Xiao Sesel unable to do even these things.

"Hey, Emperor, I'm going to sit with that sister!"

In the gilded Jiaolan Palace, Princess Xunyang's shrill voice and bright voice almost frightened the bleak.And when these words sounded, Xiao Sesu clearly saw that Emperor Tianying's body trembled, and everyone's complexion turned dark, along with Queen Zhao and the concubines.

"Emperor, I'm going to sit with that sister! I've already greeted you, I'm going."

Princess Xunyang jumped up as she spoke, and after a few steps, she seemed to remember something, turned around and ran back to King Xunyang, and flicked on his forehead, "Hey, I went to chat with that sister, you Eat and drink by yourself, don't call me if you have nothing to do!"

Let alone the bleakness now, all the family members, civil and military, and female family servants present are all silent, and everyone focuses on Princess Xunyang with stunned eyes, but only King Xunyang seems to be deaf and blind Yes, drinking on his own, without any reaction.

"My sister, hello."

Princess Xunyang ran in front of Xiao Sesel, glanced at Yu Wangyan, then rushed to sit beside Xiao Sesel, pushed Yu Wangyan away, and said, "You are going to the other side, I want to be with you Wife sit and talk together!"
