Chapter 35

Yu Qingyang didn't know how he crawled out of the imperial study room, but he knew that he was the last one to come out, and everyone surrounded him looking embarrassed.

Shan Zong was waiting outside the imperial study room. When he saw Yu Wangyan, he went up to meet him, and caught sight of Yu Wangyan's trembling sleeve.

"My lord, it's time to let go of your fist." Shan Zong reminded.

Yu Wangyan took a deep breath to calm down the hatred and anger in his heart, and looked at Yu Qingyang coldly with his hands behind his back.

He was in the imperial study just now, and he really wanted to kill this person.With his martial arts, he could kill Yu Qingyang even if he wanted to, but it would be too cheap for him.

He will not let Yu Qingyang die happily, he will let him pay off the debt together with the Zhao family and the prince party!
"My lord." Shan Zong secretly gave Yu Wangyan a look.

Following Shan Zong's line of sight, he met the gaze of the Sixth Highness Yu Qinghan.

Yu Qinghan squinted her phoenix eyes and saluted Yu Wangyan.

Yu Wangyan nodded slightly, knowing that Yu Qinghan was thanking him for keeping Yupo Emperor Ji in Dayao.But even if it was any other Di Ji, he would still oppose the marriage, this time it was just a matter of passing.

"Hehe." Second Highness Yu Qingxuan's weird smile made Yu Qinghan's heart shudder, and when he turned around, he saw Yu Qingxuan's sinister smile.

"Hehe, Yupo doesn't have to go for a kiss anymore, sixth brother, do you feel happy?"

"Cough cough... open, happy."

"You are happy... as long as you are happy, as long as you are happy." Yu Qingxuan murmured in a strange tone, and then said in a long voice: "It's so cold, I don't know how the third lady of the Xiao family is doing. Look at my memory, I forgot that Sixth Brother's warm coat is still on Miss Xiao San's shoulders, and if Sixth Brother personally sent her back, Prime Minister Xiao You will definitely treat her well."

Yu Qinghan kept coughing, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, which stained his sleeve. He smiled wryly: "Second Brother, I'm afraid I have to go back to rest. Today's medicine...cough cough, I haven't taken it yet."

"Yeah, I'm vomiting blood, I'm really sick." Yu Qingxuan waved his hand, "Forget it, you can go back, my highness walks by himself."

"Yes, I'm leaving." Yu Qinghan left tremblingly, and when he was far away, he secretly rolled up his tongue to stop the blood flow from the bitten tip of his tongue.

Yu Qingxuan watched Yu Qinghan walk away, and whispered coldly: "Don't think that what you did with Yupo can escape His Highness's eyes, sixth brother, you should thank you for your illness. If you are not ill, Your Highness..." Will you still be allowed to live?
"Second brother, we are born from the same root, so why bother each other?" Someone whispered in the ear.

Yu Qingxuan saw that it was Yu Qingyun.

"Fourth brother, you have very good ears."

Yu Qingyun said solemnly: "Family harmony and everything is prosperous, and brothers and sisters must not kill each other."

"You want to protect the sixth child?" Yu Qingxuan's eyes were dark and dull.

Yu Qingyun said: "I protect everyone, and I will not let any brother die at the hands of my compatriots."

"Ambition!" Yu Qingxuan's face turned cold, "Then it's up to you, don't offend everyone."

"Second brother, please don't worry, I will send you off respectfully." Yu Qingyun cupped her hands and said no more.

At this moment, Yu Wangyan had already left the imperial study room far away, and Shan Zong followed him, saying in a low voice: "Your Majesty made such a loud thunder this time, I can hear it from outside."

"It was Yu Qingyang who shot himself at the gunpoint." Mentioning Yu Qingyang, Yu Wangyan was furious, "He even said in the end that he wanted to marry Jinse's sister-in-law as the princess."

Shan Zong mocked: "No wonder you are scolded, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted." After thinking about it, he said: "But with the prince's appearance of gold and jade, it may not be difficult to deceive Zhang Jinlan to give up his heart."

Yes, a man like him who is graceful, with gentle eyes and affectionate eyes, and who knows sweet words is indeed the nemesis of infatuated women.

Didn't the former Jinse be doomed because of this?
In Yu Wangyan's heart filled with anger, there was another tinge of pain, tearing at his heart.

Shan Zongxing sighed: "I suddenly thought, if Jin side concubine can come back to life, let her see the prince's behavior with her own eyes, let her recognize clearly that the prince is the gold and jade, and the prince is just a failure."

Just at this point, someone called Yu Wangyan from a distance.

"King Jin, please stay!"

Yu Wangyan stopped and looked. It was Xiao Ke who came, and he brought a young man with him.

The man Yu Wangyan had the impression that he seemed to be Jing Zhaoyin's Fu Cheng who was in charge of Shunjing's judicial proceedings, his surname was Chang and his name was Xiao.

"King Jin, old minister Xiao Ke is meeting King Jin."

"My minister Shun Jingfu Cheng Chang Xiao, see King Jin."

The two saluted, Chang Xiao knelt down, and Xiao Ke also knelt down when he saw it.

Yu Wangyan hurriedly supported Xiao Ke.

"Yue Zhang."

This "Yue Zhang" called out Xiao Ke's spring breeze, and he immediately showed a flattered smile, "King Jin really offended someone Xiao!"

Yu Wangyan said indifferently: "The gift of Weng's son-in-law cannot be revoked."

Xiao Ke was moved and stood firm. Seeing Yu Wangyan's gesture, Chang Xiao also followed Zhanji, bowed his head humbly, and folded his hands respectfully in front of him.

Xiao Ke asked: "King Jin, how is my daughter doing at the mansion these days? A few days ago, I heard that my daughter was assassinated, and the old official happened to be away on business, so I was very anxious. The female family members in the mansion did not dare to visit King Jin's mansion rashly. Ashamed."

Yu Wangyan said: "Turse is fine, and is gradually recovering now."

"That's good, that's good." Xiao Ke kept stroking his chest.

Yu Wangyan knew very well that Xiao Ke came to him not simply to ask how Xiao Sesu was doing, but it was probably related to Chang Xiao.

Sure enough, Xiao Ke recommended Yu Wangyan.

"This is Chang Xiao, a protégé of the old minister, who is currently serving as the Chancellor of Shunjing Prefecture under Jing Zhaoyin. Chang Xiao is quite capable at a young age, with good conduct and integrity. The position of Chancellor of Shunjing Prefecture is too inferior to him. , the veteran wants to introduce him to His Majesty, but suffers from insufficient channels."

Yu Wangyan was silent for a while, and said: "Changfu Cheng is an official and works hard. This king has heard about it, and he is indeed a talent for making."

Xiao Ke was overjoyed, "Would King Jin recommend you to His Majesty?"

"It's not the time yet."

"Then... when? I hope King Jin will remind me."

Yu Wangyan said: "First do more deeds. At that time, I don't need to deliberately recommend it. As long as your Majesty notices it, and I find an opportunity to make side-talking, everything will be logical and no one will be caught."

Xiao Ke cupped his hands and said: "Then please King Jin pay more attention. Whenever there is a chance, the old minister will be here at any time."

"My minister Chang Xiao kowtowed to King Jin." Chang Xiao bowed on his knees.

Yu Wangyan signaled that they don't need to say any more, Xiao Ke took Chang Xiao away immediately, and never asked about Xiao Sesu's situation again.

All these were seen by Shanzong, and he couldn't help sighing: "Wangfei's father is really cool, as if he only has the glory and power of the Xiao family in Tangcheng in his eyes."

Yu Wangyan said calmly, "That's the kind of person he is."

"Then why did the prince agree so readily?" Shan Zong smiled curiously.

Yu Wangyan said coldly: "Chang Xiao is a man who can be made, and when the opportunity is found, this king will give him the official position of Minister of Dali Temple."

"The lord who is currently serving as the Minister of Dali Temple seems to be a member of the prince's party..." Shanzong immediately understood that replacing the prince's party with Xiao Ke's person weakened the power of the prince and at the same time increased the number of officials among the officials. Plant one of your own.

Shan Zong smiled and said: "It's very good to do this. The officials in the prince's party can only be blamed for being too anxious. His Majesty wants to rely on the prince when he is still in power, and he is willing to admit defeat."

King Jin's Mansion.

The atmosphere of the New Year is strong. Although the mansion is clean, there are still many busy people.

Xiao Sesu's old injury recurred today, and the doctor quickly gave him some good medicine to control the deterioration of the injury.

Xiao Sesel was lying on the couch, and he couldn't practice the insect flute, so he had to ask Lu Yi to take a copy of "Sou Shen Ji" to read it. It contained strange people, strange things, and strange things. Xiao Sesel felt that it was not as good as his own situation of resurrecting the dead .

Around noon, Xiao Zhiyuan came to Prince Jin's mansion and was led to Xiao Sesu's couch.

"Sister." Xiao Zhiyuan still held a large bag of medicine in his hand.

"Sister, this is the herbal medicine that the old lady asked me to send."

Xiao Zhiyuan handed the medicine package to Luyi, and then hurriedly sat down on the couch, "Sister, how are you doing? Why can't I lie down again today, is it not feeling well again?"

Xiao Sesu shook his head, "I'm tired, I want to lie down and rest, it's nothing."

"It's fine, I'm worried about my sister, and I'm looking forward to my sister and brother-in-law returning home. I haven't seen my sister for a long time!"

Xiao Sesel sighed in his heart, it wasn't long since he married into King Jin's Mansion, but Zhiyuan must be very lonely, that's why he feels that life feels like years.

Xiao Sesel said with a smile: "Didn't Zhiyuan say that you have to study hard and get fame? If you want to achieve great things, you must endure the deserted."

"Aunt Xue told me that too." Xiao Zhiyuan's eyes were shining brightly, and then he was a little puzzled, "Sister, why do I feel that you have grown up a lot, is it better to be cured of your stupidity?"

Xiao Sesu ate his fingers and said, "I want to eat candy again..."

Lu Yi was speechless, so she had to take out the candies and pastries and share them with her siblings.

Seeing that Xiao Sesu was eating happily, Xiao Zhiyuan didn't ask any more questions.

A quarter of an hour later, the servants accompanying Xiao's residence came to urge Xiao Zhiyuan to go back, and Xiao Zhiyuan said goodbye.

Xiao Sesu and Lu Yi had lunch together, and after a while of rest, Yu Wangyan came back.

"My lord." Xiao Sesu slowly supported herself and sat up from the couch.

Seeing this, Yu Wangyan quickened his pace, and together with Luyi helped Xiao Sesu up.Yu Wangyan took a pillow and stood behind her, letting Xiao Sesu lean on her.

"Have you eaten?" he asked.

Xiao Sesel nodded, "I have eaten it, and I also ate candy, which is so delicious."

"How much sugar is left?" Yu Wangyan asked Luyi.

"If you go back to the prince, there is not much left, and the lady has eaten it up."

"The king will order someone to buy some more."

Lu Yi said quickly: "Did the lord buy too much? Miss eats so fast, Lu Yi is afraid of her tooth decay!"

Xiao Sesu said aggrievedly: "I didn't..."

Luyi said embarrassedly: "I'm also worried. Although Miss has changed her teeth a long time ago, Luyi is still afraid that she will be like a child with tooth decay!"

Yu Wangyan said calmly: "Just take care of your young lady more."

"Okay, okay." Lu Yi stuck out her tongue, went to pour water for Yu Wangyan, and asked in chirping voice: "My lord, you came back very late today, is there something in the court? You haven't eaten yet, right?"

Xiao Sesu took a look at Lu Yi.This girl also talks too much, she should say whatever she thinks, she shouldn't ask casually about court affairs.

Yu Wangyan was also used to Lvyi's quick words, and said: "The matter of the Northern Wei Dynasty's oppression is more difficult. Later, the king and the princes went to the Imperial Study Room, and discussed it with His Majesty in person."

"Ah? So serious!" Lu Yi exclaimed, and asked worriedly: "Will the Northern Wei Dynasty invade all the way? I heard that people in their country may fight even though they are not educated!"

Yu Wangyan ignored Lu Yi, looked at Xiao Sesel's incomprehensible stupid expression, somehow, suddenly thought of Yu Qingyang's elegant and elegant face.

Although these two faces are different, they are both pretentious. One uses a careless appearance to cover up the real wisdom and purpose, while the other is too gentle and beautiful. Other than that, it is full of failure and incompetence.

At this moment, Luyi had already retreated, Yu Wangyan couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Yu Qingyang actually told His Majesty today that she wants to marry Jinse's sister, Zhang Jinlan, as the princess."

Xiao Sesu's eyes widened, as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue at this moment, he couldn't help but gasp.

Realizing that his reaction was too big, but it was too late to take it back, Xiao Sesur could only ask in surprise: "Yu Qingyang is the prince, isn't the princess concubine Jinse's sister? Jinse's sister is not the prince's concubine?"

Yu Wangyan said: "Jinse is Yu Qingyang's concubine."

"The side concubine..." Xiao Sesu grabbed Yu Wangyan's cuff, "Isn't she like sister Shi side concubine?"

Yu Wangyan frowned, but nodded after thinking about it.

"But why do you want to marry Sister Jinlan... Sister Jinse is only on a long trip, isn't the Prince planning to wait for Sister Jinse?"

Yu Wangyan had a sharp pain in his chest, and a kind of unbearable sadness was cutting through his veins bit by bit, while Xiao Sesue's innocent and innocent appearance at the moment seemed to inject poison into his pain, excruciatingly painful.

Yu Wangyan clenched his fist and said, "Jinse won't be coming back."

"Sister Jinse isn't coming back?" Xiao Sesu asked, her frightened eyes began to moisten.

No one knows how much she hates herself at this moment, hates herself for uncovering Yu Wangyan's pain again, hates herself for pretending to be stupid, and hurts the infatuated person in front of her like this.

She shouldn't be like this anymore!
Xiao Sesu closed her eyes suddenly, letting the tears stay in them.

She pinched the corner of the quilt and murmured tremblingly: "My lord, don't be sad, it's my fault, I didn't want to make you sad..."

Yu Wangyan was stunned for a moment, and he was stunned by the stark contrast between the front and the back.

A moment later, what came to my mind was stronger suspicion than last time.

She is not a fool.

She must be playing dumb.

He should have exposed her without hesitation and questioned her purpose, but why did another face appear in his mind when he saw her painful, vicissitudes, and regretful eyes?
"I'm worried about Sister Jinlan." Xiao Sesu lowered her head and whispered what she was thinking in a trembling voice.

"I'm worried that Sister Jinlan will be deceived like Sister Jinse, and then regret it and hope that everything can be done again..."

"You..." Yu Wangyan stared at Xiao Sesu in disbelief.

At this moment, he couldn't express the various feelings lingering in his heart. Those emotions were too complicated for him to even clarify.

I just felt dazed, looking at her and thinking of Jinse, this kind of daze was too scary for Yu Wangyan, he never thought that he would see the shadow of Jinse in other women.

"My lord, your hand..."

Xiao Sesue raised her head, and endless pain shone in her quiet, beautiful and affectionate eyes.

"Why is your hand hurt?"

She held Yu Wangyan's hand, and there was a bright red scratch on the rough and bony hand.

"When did you accidentally hurt it?"

When is it
Yu Wangyan frowned, looking into bleak eyes, suddenly a surge of anger rushed into his chest, mixed with blame and hatred towards himself, making Yu Wangyan full of evil spirits.

He coldly shook off Xiao Shue's hand and walked away.

The cold winter wind blew on his face like a knife, but Yu Wangyan was so numb that he didn't notice the pain.

The ice and snow in the back lake were mixed, and he was standing under the octagonal pavilion by the lake, his clothes made of Shu brocade were in a mess, and his cuffs were ripped out with sharp folds by his own hands.

bleak.

The name made Yu Wangyan feel mixed emotions.

She has no malice towards him, he knows, but she hides too many things, why doesn't he expose her severely?
Just because her eyes resembled Jinse before she died?

"ridiculous!"

Yu Wangyan clapped his hands on the stone table.

He laughed that he would soften his attitude towards Xiao Sesu because of such a little association.

It must be because he misses Jinse too much that he feels that Jinse has come to him.

But Jin Se is clearly dead, so what does it have to do with Xiao Se Se?
Yu Wangyan let out a heavy breath.

Probably... it's all due to longing.

Closing his eyes, Yu Wangyan took a cup of tea to calm his mind, and when he opened his eyes again, his dark pupils were dark, warm and cold again, and his calmness was compelling.

He recruited Shan Zong, and said coldly: "Keep an eye on Xiao Sesel, she is pretending to be stupid and dormant in the palace, she must have a purpose."

Shan Zong thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "My lord, it's a long night with many dreams, why not..." A killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Don't touch her, even if it's for Xiao Ke's sake." Yu Wangyan was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Besides, I don't feel her malice, she was also Jinse's friend before his death."

Shan Zong nodded, bowed his hands respectfully, his starry eyes were smiling, the corners of his sharp lips were slightly cold, and he immediately went to explain Yu Wangyan's orders to his subordinates.

In the room, Xiao Sesu leaned on the pillow, pinching her horns fiercely.

She didn't know why Yu Wangyan left so angry, but she clearly realized that he had seen through her.

She also didn't know why Yu Wangyan didn't expose her.

At this moment, my heart is blocked, thinking of my sister-in-law Zhang Jinlan, Xiao Sesu is upset.She was very afraid that Yu Qingyang wanted to get something from Zhang Jinlan, so she said that Zhang Jinlan and her father Zhang Qian might know more about her jade pendant than she did.

"Miss, what happened to the prince just now?"

Lu Yi ran in from the outside and exclaimed: "I'm waiting for you to talk outside, why did the prince come out in a hurry, I called him and he ignored me, just looked at me, his face was so scary."

"It's nothing, Luyi, go get me some sugar." Xiao Sesu ordered Luyi as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, okay, it's candy again, and this candy is eaten too quickly."

Luyi complained dumbfounded, took out the candy box, dug out a piece of sesame cake from the bottom, and handed it to Xiao Sesel.

Xiao Sesu took the sesame cake and ate it slowly, the sweet taste lingered in his mouth, but he couldn't dispel the bitter taste in his heart.

In order to pretend to be stupid, she became very fond of candy.

But from now on, she thought, she would never have to worry about Yu Wangyan asking for candy again.

In the next few days, Xiao Sesu's injury began to improve again.The medicine Xiao Zhiyuan sent was effective, and Xiao Sesu could walk on the ground again, but the wound was always painful, which made her frown frequently.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Festival.

Shunjing has a lantern festival every year on this day.

In the past, Xiao Sesu and his sister-in-law Zhang Jinlan would call some official ladies to play in the street together.Eat snacks, watch pine lanterns, the streets are full of pearls and emeralds, and laugh and laugh.

Nowadays, if you marry a woman, you are not allowed to leave the mansion.Yu Wangyan, on the other hand, set up a family banquet according to the old habit in the Jin Palace, and invited Xiao Sesu and his concubines to have a banquet together.

In this family banquet, Yu Wangyan and Xiao Sesu sat in the main seats, and the concubines were next.

Concubine Shi was the first one on the left, leading the concubines and concubines, constantly saying compliments and toasting Yu Wangyan.

The moon was full outside the window, looking at it bleakly, something was missing in his heart, he lowered his head and scooped a crystal winter melon glutinous rice ball with a spoon.

As soon as he took a bite, he smelled the scent of blood centipede on Yu Wangyan's body.

Xiao Sesu hurriedly put down the glutinous rice balls, removed the wine bottle from Yu Wangyan's hand, and poured out the wine.

"Thurse, what are you doing?" Yu Wangyan asked.

Xiao Sesel said, "Drinking is not good."

"Today is the Lantern Festival."

"That's not good either." Xiao Sesu put the empty wine bottle back.The blood centipede was ready to move. At this time, it would be very dangerous to drink alcohol.

Due to the low voice of the conversation between the two, not only did the concubines not hear clearly, they also felt that the scene was very dazzling.

Concubine Shi suffered a setback at Xiao Sesu's hands last time, and there was a master behind her who regarded Xiao Sese as a thorn in her side, she couldn't see Xiao Sese's life very much.

She stood up with the wine bottle in her hand, walked gracefully in lotus blossoms, and came to Yu Wangyan, and made a toast.

"My lord, my concubine congratulates you on the Lantern Festival."

The smell of wine wafted to Yu Wangyan's nose, and now the blood centipede was rioting, even the slightest smell of wine made Yu Wangyan feel uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to leave the banquet, the bleak person beside him snatched Concubine Shi's wine and drank it.

"Princess, you!" Concubine Shi shouted.

Xiao Sesu drank it all in one gulp, and said, "My lord is tired, if you want to drink, I'll drink with you."

Concubine Shi was dumbfounded.

Yu Wangyan looked at Xiao Sesu in surprise.She saw his discomfort, so she didn't let him drink?But she would not know about the blood centipede, is this a coincidence?

Concubine Shi said resentfully: "My lord, the lord himself hasn't said he's uncomfortable. What do you mean?" Then she begged Yu Wangyan pitifully, "My lord, I really came here to express my blessings. No matter how you do this, you will be made things difficult by the princess."

Seeing her putting on airs, Xiao Sesu didn't intend to save face for her, and threw the wine bottle back to Concubine Shi's feet with a raised hand.

"Go and fill up the wine bottle, I'll drink with you!"
