Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 162

Ye Xizhao said in a respectful voice: "The emperor has made a decision on this matter long ago, so there is no need for my concubines to say more."

"Oh?" Zhong Liye smiled lightly, "How do you say that?"

Ye Xizhao replied truthfully: "If the emperor intends to tell the queen, he will not wait until today. Besides, if the queen is at odds with her elder brother, it will be of no benefit. If brother and sister turn against each other, although both sides will suffer, others will also suffer if they think about it." and."

When thinking about this matter, you can't think about it from the perspective of Yu Shaoheng, Yu Shaoyun, or herself, but from Zhong Liye's perspective—if you figure this out, there is nothing to worry about.

Zhong Liye's smile grew stronger, "That's true. Their brother and sister love each other deeply, and the prince will succeed to the throne." He took a sip of his wine, and said, "I'm telling you this because I want to sound out your tone. Listen. I am at ease with your reply."

Ye Xizhao could understand that he wanted to use this topic to test whether she and Yu Shaoheng had told Yu Shaoyun about their past, and also wanted to test whether she was happy to see siblings turn against each other.She felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but she felt tired for Yu Shaoyun—living with such a person who likes to go around in eight circles in everything, whether it is love or not, is too tiring.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Zhong Liye looked back and saw Yu Shaoyun, smiled, and said to Ye Xizhao: "After you return to the mansion today, tell Marquis Yongping to come to the palace. I have something important to do with you." He said."

Ye Xi Zhaogong claimed it was.

Yu Shaoyun came closer, and after saluting, he looked at Zhong Liye with some helplessness, "Why doesn't the emperor even bring himself? The clothes are too thin."

Zhong Liye said: "Are you here to see Mrs. Yongpinghou?"

"Yes. The concubine speaks to Mrs. Yongpinghou on behalf of the queen mother."

"It's best like this." Zhong Liye turned around, "I'm going back."

Yu Shaoyun and Ye Xizhao greeted each other off.After that, Yu Shaoyun took Ye Xizhao's hand and asked in a low voice, "Is he here to stop you?"

"Yes." Ye Xizhao nodded, "I really didn't expect that." Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhong Liye and the queen mother are not of one mind, and he did not intend to hurt Yu Shaoyun emotionally.

"It's too cold outside, hurry up and go back to the palace with me." Yu Shaoyun quickened his pace slightly, with a resentment in his words, "I actually came up with your idea... Is it possible that who will let her get what she wants?"

Ye Xizhao laughed, "This is what she thinks she should do."

"...It is indeed." Yu Shaoyun looked back at the Queen Mother's palace, "Originally, no matter if it was true or not, there was some affection. Now she hates me and my eldest brother."

When they arrived at the main palace, the two women went to the Nuan Pavilion to take their seats.

Ye Xizhao asked about Concubine Jing's happiness, "Didn't it offend you like Concubine Shu did?"

"No." Yu Shaoyun smiled, "Besides, the Empress Dowager is afraid of me, and personally ordered someone to take care of me, so that Concubine Jing can't see me on weekdays."

Being afraid of the main palace probably means venting your anger on the crown prince and princess.Ye Xizhao couldn't help worrying, "Prince and Princess, you have to be more careful."

"I know." Yu Shaoyun smiled, "The children are my life, and no one can touch them."

Ye Xizhao thought for a while, and told Yu Shaoyun about the poisoning that Zhong Liye said, and finally asked, "How is the recovery going?"

"Is it poisoned?" Yu Shaoyun didn't expect it either, and then jokingly said, "I just thought it was because of his indulging in alcohol and sex."

Ye Xizhao laughed.

Only then did Yu Shaoyun answer Ye Xizhao's question: "Although the imperial physicians are tight-lipped about the emperor's cause of the disease, they will come to report the progress of the treatment. The envoy of the imperial hospital said that he asked Qiao Chen for help and prescribed a good prescription. Therefore, the emperor's body is slowly recovering." After a pause, he continued, "If it is poisoned, it must be a mild and chronic poison, and the emperor has always been alert, so it's okay. His illness is mainly in his heart—these years It has been smooth and smooth, with no surprises and no dangers, but at the moment, it is finally difficult to calm down."

Ye Xizhao nodded in agreement.If you think about it in another place, no one can bear the continuous drastic changes.

Yu Shaoyun asked again: "What else did the emperor tell you?"

Ye Xizhao pondered for a moment, then said perfunctorily, "Talking about my marriage with Lord Hou back then."

"Ah?" Yu Shaoyun seemed very disturbed, "He won't... he doesn't already know... By the way, the main reason is that you know that he wanted to let you enter the palace but was disturbed by my elder brother and Xiao Xun The end?"

These words caused Ye Xizhao to be even more surprised than Yu Shaoyun, "You, how did you know about this?"

"Why can't I know?" Yu Shaoyun smiled and handed hot tea to Ye Xizhao, "The emperor has my eyeliner by his side, and what he learns every day is equivalent to what I know."

"...." Ye Xizhao was too surprised to speak.

When Yu Shaoyun talked about this, there was a warm but sad smile in his eyes, "When I learned what happened back then, I realized why my elder brother said those things to me - he said that as long as I have someone I want to marry, he will fulfill me, It cut off my way to enter the palace. However, there is nothing I can do. The three brothers are too outstanding. In my eyes, how can there be anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them? If there is, it is the emperor. So, After much deliberation, I am still willing to enter the palace."

"The emperor thought you didn't know this, so he used this matter to test me just now."

"Oh? What did he say?"

Ye Xizhao then repeated Zhong Liye's words.

Yu Shaoyun's eyes narrowed slightly.Some words have the same result as those who don’t say them, but if they are said with ulterior motives, it will sting and cause harm.And Zhong Liye, even when he was the most angry, never resorted to these things.According to his current depressed situation, if he really wants to vent his anger or stir up their brother-sister relationship, he can exaggerate the matter as much as possible to make her feel uncomfortable.But he didn't.

Who can see the man's heart clearly?Maybe not even himself.

Similarly, only he knows his affection for many people in this world, and no one else can confirm it.

Therefore, no one can understand his current state of mind.

Thinking of this, Yu Shaoyun felt a little sad for him.

Exhaling lightly, Yu Shaoyun changed the topic and asked about the big and small affairs of the Hou's mansion.

Ye Xizhao said one by one to reassure Yu Shaoyun, seeing that it was getting late, he got up to leave.

Yu Shaoyun thought about going to see Zhong Liye, so he didn't want to keep him.

Ye Xizhao returned to the mansion, and after changing clothes, he remembered Zhong Liye's letting Yu Shaoheng into the palace, and went to the study.

When entering the courtyard door of the study, it happened that Tang Hongxiao left.

A few steps away, both of them froze and stopped in place.

Tang Hongxiao put on his Taoist robe, his eyes were calm, he looked at Ye Xizhao for a moment, and smiled gently.

She was wearing a pomegranate red dress and a pure white cloak.His hair is like ink, his face is like jade, and his eyes are calm and calm.Over the years, wind and rain have never left any traces on her.

He stepped forward and saluted.

Ye Xizhao returned the gift.

Immediately, Tang Hong smiled and looked at her, and said, "I'm here to bid farewell to Lord Hou."

Ye Xizhao asked, "Where are you going, my lord?"

"Traveling in the world, the world is home."

Ye Xizhao couldn't help but meet his eyes, so many questions, only reduced to two words: "Why?"

"Let's put it down at ease." Tang Hong smiled with a little warmth in his eyes, "I only hope that you will still be here in the future."

"Thank you." After Ye Xizhao pondered, he added, "Thank you for everything you have done since you returned to Beijing." Then he hesitated again, and did not ask the question—why?
Tang Hongxiao replied cryptically: "You are here, well, that's enough."

Ye Xizhao was taken aback.

Tang Hong smiled and said goodbye, and left leisurely.

The fierce cold wind rolled around his clothes, and the desolation of winter reflected his lonely figure walking away, but he had a kind of fairy spirit, in this world, he seemed like an outsider.

The years of ups and downs, years of twists and turns, how he went through, he no longer wants to confide in anyone.

He has let go of his children's love, does not fight for separation and separation in this world, wipes out all ties and is unwilling to make calculations.

Say goodbye to her, and the mountains and rivers will be long and wide, and there will be no time to meet again.

After this day, Ye Xizhao never saw Tang Hongxiao again.

Ye Xizhao collected his thoughts and turned to the study.

Yu Shaoheng was tasting tea, and when he saw her sitting in front of him, he took another fine porcelain teacup, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to her.

"The tea you cooked?" Ye Xizhao asked.

"Yes. Try it."

Ye Xizhao sipped his tea in small sips.The tea has a clear fragrance and a mellow taste, but she didn't tell him.

Yu Shaoheng didn't ask, or even why she came here, he seemed to be touched by something, and had some feelings.

After a while, Ye Xizhao let out a sigh.

Startled, Yu Shaoheng stared at her, "Did anything happen to you when you entered the palace?"

Ye Xizhao shook his head and smiled, "I'm just worried. After a few more years, I'm afraid I'll have nothing to say. And if I become talkative, don't you think you'll dislike me for being annoying? .”

Yu Shaoheng couldn't help laughing, "Do you think you are a talkative person?"

"It's better than you." Ye Xizhao twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked Tang Hongxiao bluntly, "Is he here to say goodbye to you?"

"Yes. The letter of resignation has already been handed over, and the emperor has agreed." Yu Shaoheng picked up the teacup, "This tea is to give him instead of wine."

Ye Xizhao smiled in relief.

Yu Shaoheng leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair, and stretched out his hand to her.

Ye Xizhao put his hand in his, then turned to him, leaned over to look at him, "what's the matter?"

"He is no longer what he used to be, with a noble character. Even me, I can't deny it."

"Yes, he... is a very nice person, I am grateful." Such words made her a little sad.A fate, only in exchange for such an understatement, if Tang Hong listened to it with a smile, how would he feel?But she couldn't say anything more than this one.

Yu Shaoheng asked: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Ye Xizhao thought for a while, "No. You won't hurt someone you approve of, so what else do you need me to tell you?"

"Then make his way smoother."

"It's up to you." Ye Xizhao felt that Yu Shaoheng knew Tang Hongxiao better than her now, so there was no need to say anything superfluous.

After that, she mentioned the matter of entering the palace, repeated Zhong Liye's words, and finally said: "The emperor wants you to enter the palace, saying that there is something important."

Yu Shaoheng looked very complicated, then nodded, "I will go to the palace in the afternoon."

"I've seen the emperor, so I'll also go talk to Shaoyun." Ye Xizhao felt that there were some things that were more appropriate for the siblings to talk about, and she didn't need to say anything in between.

"I will."

Yu Shaoyun entered Furong Garden.

Zhong Liye was surprised when he saw her, "Are you here to see me, or is there something else?"

"Come and see you." Yu Shaoyun took a slow breath and smelled the smell of wine and medicine in the room, "This place is not good, why don't you go and live in my palace?"

"Why?"

Yu Shaoyun smiled and said: "It's good and harmless to live with me. At least no one can plot against you, and someone will drink with you—now you don't let women into Furong Garden."

"No one can plot against me?" Zhong Liye asked with a smile, "How do you know that I never suspected that you ordered someone to poison you?"

"So you were suspicious of me? That's because I was being passionate." Yu Shaoyun laughed, "You have to rest and take your medicine on time. By the way, you must be careful—one day I can't think about it, maybe I will poison you. .”

Zhong Liye's smile became stronger, and when she turned around slowly, he came up to her and held her hand, "Are you kidding me, can't you hear it?"

Yu Shaoyun rolled his eyes at him, "You have leisure." Then he looked at his complexion, "It looks better."

"Indeed." Zhong Liye took her hand and took a seat, "Even if you don't come, I will go to you, and I have to explain something."

Yu Shaoyun looked at him suspiciously.Confess something - first she wants to see her elder brother, and then she has to confess... Why does she somehow feel that he is going to confess his affairs?
