Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 55

Yu Shaoheng's smile became even colder, "In that case, I still have to thank you?"

"That's not necessary." Xiao Xun laughed, "I just want you to understand that I will never harm you."

Yu Shaoheng turned around indifferently.

Xiao Xun quickly got up and chased after him, "Say it straight, what do you mean?"

Yu Shaoheng also said bluntly: "Farewell, there will be no date later."

Xiao Xun frowned, and sighed annoyedly: "Loyalty and righteousness cannot have both, it really is so."

Yu Shaoheng's voice was extremely indifferent: "Lord Xiao should be loyal to the emperor."

However, Xiao Xun forcibly stopped Yu Shaoheng, "I am no longer a human being, and you must have guessed the outline. If so, I might as well tell you bluntly and go to the room to explain in detail."

After Yu Shaoyun returned to the mansion, Xia He invited him to the main room.

Ye Xizhao dispatched the maid in the room, raised his hand to signal Yu Shaoyun to sit down, then took out the jade bi, put it on the table, and slowly pushed it in front of Yu Shaoyun, "I accidentally saw it from your room today, tell me Say, who sent you this?"

Yu Shaoyun was not disturbed by this, and after pondering for a while, said: "I don't know who that person is--I say that, do you believe it? I feel uneasy even holding this thing in my hand, and I always want to explain it to my elder brother. It’s just that I’m always afraid that my elder brother will get angry with me again, thinking that I provoked others first, so I haven’t mentioned it for a long time.”

Ye Xizhao's expression eased, "Then, can you talk to me first?"

Yu Shaoyun hesitated for a moment, nodded, and explained the origin of the jade, and finally said: "Xiao Xun entered the Hou's mansion for the first time at night, saw this object, and talked about that person, and called him the same as that person's entourage. He is the Seventh Lord, but he has not revealed his name."

"Master Qi..." Ye Xizhao's eyes flickered slightly.

"I've thought about it, but I can't figure out who this person is, or did I hear it wrong?" Yu Shaoyun looked at Ye Xizhao suspiciously, "What did sister-in-law think of?"

"I've lived in the inner house for a long time, what can I think of?" Ye Xizhao smiled casually, "I've never heard of the famous disciples of Xingqi. It seems unlikely that the most famous one is from Dili Tian's family, right?" And in his heart , but has been able to determine that person is the emperor.Only when that person is the emperor can some unimaginable things be explained.

Although the speaker is pretending to be careless, it does not prevent the listener from considering the words carefully.Yu Shaoyun's complexion slowly changed, his red lips parted slightly, but he hesitated to speak.

After pondering for a long time, he came to the conclusion that, like Ye Xizhao, he was able to confirm that that person was the emperor who went on tour in disguise.

If I hadn't stopped in Zhuojun on the way back to Beijing, wouldn't I have met the emperor?
If he hadn't met the emperor, wouldn't Xiao Xunye have entered the Marquis Mansion?

If there were no such things, wouldn't it be possible to reach the point where no one comes to propose marriage today?

Do not!
Yu Shaoyun shook her head violently, the key to this matter was not whether she met the emperor or not.

Just relying on the fact that the emperor left a token when he saw her for the first time, thinking that the emperor fell in love with her at first sight, that would be too self-confident and self-indulgent.

There are countless women in the palace, which one is not beautiful, in other words, what kind of woman has the emperor never seen?It is impossible for him to fall in love with any woman easily.

What the emperor wants must be the same as Prince Jing.Among men, what is weighed is the overall situation, and what is contested is strategy.

And she is just Hou Men's accessory, something that others can use to win over her elder brother.

The room fell into silence for a long time, and it was not until the servant girl entered the door lightly to hold the lamp that the two women realized that it was already night.

Yu Shaoyun smiled, in Ye Xizhao's eyes, it was a smile that made people feel more sad than crying.

"Shaoyun." Ye Xizhao turned to Yu Shaoyun's side, and his gesture fell on her shoulder with comfort, "If you have something in your heart, can you tell me? Just like what you said to your second sister-in-law, we are a family." , discuss something together.”

Yu Shaoyun looked up at Ye Xizhao, and said softly, "I used to think you were pitiful in a foolish way, but only now do I realize that you are the most enviable one—my elder brother is here to grab you for affection. But As for others, they decide a woman's life only for the sake of power. And the woman who is scrambled by that kind of person, like you, has to give in, and even look flattered."

"..." Ye Xizhao could hear that Yu Shaoyun had seen the situation clearly, and raised his hand to stroke her hair, "It's not too late to know this, we are not completely hopeless." She was still not sure Yes, it's whether Yu Shaoyun wants to enter the palace or not. After all, some ladies in official families are willing to struggle for affection for a lifetime, while others want glory and wealth.

Yu Shaoyun shook his head slowly, "After a woman gets married, she will either be a regular wife or a concubine. If you are lucky, you only need to be diligent and thrifty to manage the family, and if you are not lucky, you have to intrigue with others. In my opinion, getting married is really self-discovery. Tombs, the only difference lies in whether the tomb is big or small, gorgeous or simple. Now there is the most decent place to go, why should I object? I am too happy to be happy."

"...." Ye Xizhao didn't know what to say after hearing such a rhetoric.She never knew that Yu Shaoyun actually looked at the important events of life in this way.How are these ideas formed?Is it because she had a bad influence on Yu Shaoyun after she married Yu Shaoheng?

Yu Shaoyun stood up, and his voice was a little brisk, "Others regard me as an object to win over important ministers, so I can treat him as an object to shine on the lintel, wouldn't it be enough?"

Ye Xizhao, however, was worried, "Why do I feel that you are speaking out of anger?"

"Even if I said it out of anger, it's really from my heart." Yu Shaoyun stood up, "I'll go to my mother's room first and let her weigh the pros and cons. When my elder brother comes back, I will explain it to him in detail."

Ye Xizhao held Yu Shaoyun's hand, "You need to think twice about explaining to Mrs. Tai. After Mrs. Tai learns about this, do you know what decision she will make?" If Mrs. Tai knows about this and approves of their Guess, then, there is only one result - the old man will let Yu Shaoyun enter the palace for the sake of the overall situation, and give up any other means.

Yu Shaoyun's voice lowered: "That person must be the emperor. You should have thought of this one step before me. It's just that I'm a fan of the authorities, and I didn't turn this corner until today. Except the emperor, who can support Xiao Xun? Except the emperor, Who can make Xiao Xun disregard his relationship with my elder brother? If he is the emperor, who can go against his wishes? What I want is for my mother to know first, and persuade my elder brother not to act emotionally before he makes a move. I help Nothing to you, all I can do is not to cause trouble for you."

"But—" Ye Xizhao took Yu Shaoyun's hand back, and because of the unbearable sadness in his heart, his voice had a strong nasal tone, "You silly girl, what I want to ask at this moment is whether you want to enter the palace or not?" , haven’t you seen it yet? If you are unwilling from the bottom of your heart, you can ask your elder brother to help you find a way out. Shaoyun, entering the palace does mean that the glory and glory of the palace are boundless, but the life inside, no matter who thinks about it I also know how difficult it is, it is your whole life, you have to think deeply."

"Aside from life and death, what is the most important thing in a person's life? Is there anything that needs to be thought over and over again?" Yu Shaoyun stared at Ye Xizhao, "Sister-in-law, when you chose to marry my elder brother, how long did you think about it?"

"...." Ye Xizhao had no choice but to think about that matter.

"It's all the same thing. I know you are kind, and I am grateful." Yu Shaoyun smiled pitifully, "I didn't know your kindness until then, after all, it was too late." He said and gently withdrew his hand ,"I'm leaving."

"I'll take you there, and I can't sit still in the room."

The two walked out of the hall together, just as Yu Shaoheng and Xiao Xun entered the courtyard, they both stopped.

"Wait." After Yu Shaoheng finished speaking to Xiao Xun, he turned to Ye Xizhao and Yu Shaoyun, "Go in and talk."

After taking a seat on the Arhat bed, Yu Shaoheng raised his hand to signal Yu Shaoyun to come forward and speak.

Yu Shaoyun walked over hesitantly, with his head bowed and his hands folded uneasily.

The girl who was decisive in situations just now suddenly became like a child who did something wrong.Seeing this situation, Ye Xizhao felt even more sad.The two brothers and sisters are obviously brothers and sisters, but they can't have an appearance of intimacy.

Yu Shaoheng spoke calmly: "I have already understood the ins and outs. You have two options right now, one is to wait for the imperial edict to enter the palace, and the other is to claim illness and avoid the limelight, and plan for a long-term plan in the future."

Yu Shaoyun glanced at Yubi, and asked in a low voice, "Is that Seventh Master the Emperor?"

"Yes. The emperor wants you to enter the palace."

"It's good that you know it's not my fault." Yu Shaoyun looked down at the ground, "It's better...let's let nature take its course, sooner or later is the same thing."

Ye Xizhao turned his face away, and looked at the void above without focus, but tears slipped down unexpectedly.She turned around quietly and went to the bedroom.

"It's not the same thing." Seeing his sister's attitude, Yu Shaoheng simply stopped asking her and called Xiao Xun in.

Xiao Xun walked in listlessly, and first asked Yu Shaoyun, who was no different from Yu Shaoheng.

The answer given by Yu Shaoyun has not changed.

Xiao Xun couldn't bear the look in her eyes, and then said to Yu Shaoheng: "No matter what, this matter has to be postponed for a while. You can't let Shaoyun enter the palace quickly according to the emperor's temper. Call me sick? Make a Just in case. Just in case, I will find two people to accompany her for a period of time, and let her know all the rules, big and small things in the palace."

Yu Shaoyun then took the words: "If the emperor knows what you have done...."

"Death at the hands of the emperor is always more honorable than death at the hands of brothers." Xiao Xun first joked, and then comforted him, "The emperor has just returned to the palace, so many government affairs are waiting for him to deal with. Besides, starting tomorrow, the court There will be a lot of commotion in the hall, and the emperor will not be in a hurry to ask you to enter the palace at this pass, so I can delay it for as long as possible."

Yu Shaoyun nodded, and then a narrow smile appeared in his eyes.She guessed that this guy was reprimanded and even repaired by her elder brother, otherwise, he wouldn't explain it to her so carefully now.

Xiao Xun glared at Yu Shaoyun first, and then said with a smile: "Your heart is really generous."

Yu Shaoyun twitched her lips, "It's not like you can't live and die for such a little thing—since you want to live, you naturally have to be happy."

Yu Shaoheng looked at Yu Shaoyun and smiled, feeling sad and lonely.Standing up, he said, "That's all for now. I'll talk to you tomorrow. There's still something important tonight."

"Then you go, I'll talk to my sister-in-law."

Yu Shaoheng's hand landed on Yu Shaoyun's shoulder and patted it lightly before going out with Xiao Xun.

Xiangfu, across the courtyard.

Ye Xihan walked into the room slowly.

Mrs. Xu was doing embroidery work under the lamp. Seeing him go in, she asked, "Did you go drink with Tang Hongxiao today?"

Ye Xihan smiled, and sat beside Xu, "Today he avoided seeing me, he looked very busy."

Xu put down her embroidery work, pointed to a pile of clothes beside her, "It's a few new middle clothes and pajamas, all the maids next to her know."

Ye Xihan asked knowingly in frustration: "What does this mean?"

"I'll go back to the inner house tonight, tidy up, and go back to my mother's house tomorrow morning to stay for a while." Xu poured him a cup of tea, "I don't worry if you're not drunk. Rest early."

Ye Xihan held her hand, "Don't leave."

All Xu's patience with him has long been exhausted, and his eyes at this time are indifferent, "You don't even care about your family and siblings now, just worry about yourself, and associate with people with ulterior motives all day long, such a husband, I would rather Don't." Then he struggled to withdraw his hand.

Ye Xihan let go of her hand, but hugged her figure, "Don't rush to get rid of me, just wait a little longer, okay?"

"No." Xu's voice was soft but firm.

"See if this works." Ye Xihan hugged her even tighter, with his chin resting on her shoulder, "In the future, you will sleep in the dormitory, and I will sleep on the big kang outside. Wait a little longer, if I If something goes wrong, it won’t drag you down, just reconcile with you—I still have this self-knowledge. You and I have been married for several years, and you have been watching me for so long. Can’t you bear it for a while longer? Is it?"

"How many years have you been married—" When Xu mentioned this, she almost shed tears, "Yes, you and I have been married for several years, but you make me feel more and more strange. At first you had someone else in your heart, and I knew you Bitter, let you make trouble, even if you take a concubine, I will not say a word, thinking that no matter how long it takes for your pain to dissipate, I can afford to wait. But since Xi Zhao got married, what have you done? I’m married to you, and I know what my natal family can do and what things can’t be done, but at first Xi Zhao didn’t care about anything, so I had to hold back. But now? Make progress, but you still ignore it—she is the only sibling with your mother, will she still harm you? In this life, in the end, the only ones who can support each other with you are her and Lord Hou... You, you It's because I never thought of this, who else can live with you?" After speaking, her eyes were already red, and she tried her best not to shed tears.

"Don't be sad," Ye Xihan panicked, and put his hands on her cheeks, "It's not that I haven't thought about your difficulties these days, I know you've been with me for the past few years and I haven't thought about it... Don't worry Can you leave me behind? Wait a little longer, and I will give you an explanation."

Xu questioned: "Man, why are you so procrastinating on what to do? Can't you make a decision right away?"

"This..." Ye Xihan was full of complaints about Ye Shuxuan at this moment—is there any father who treats his son like this?This is simply to make him lose everything!But this kind of complaining is useless, he quickly suppressed this emotion, and simply started to play tricks, "I don't care what you think, anyway, I can't just watch you leave. If I say I won't let you go, I don't care They won't let you go!"

Such words, in Xu's eyes, just felt that he was becoming more and more childish and ridiculous.After a moment of silence, she replied indifferently: "You won't let me leave, so it will be very difficult for me to get out of this courtyard. It will take me some time, and I only hope that you will do what you say."

Ye Xihan naturally understood what she meant, and immediately let her go with a smile, "I will definitely do what I say! Don't worry!"

Xu Shi ignored him, went directly to the dormitory, and rested quietly.

Ye Xihan faced the light on the table alone, his expression slowly turned serious.

Since two days ago, Tang Hongxiao began to avoid seeing him.People who were paying attention to the movements of the Tang family also told him that many officials had entered and left the Tang family in the past two days.

Does this mean that Tang Hongxiao was instigated by King Jing to impeach the prime minister?

It's really good that he can end this hell-like life sooner.

All he needs to do is wait patiently.

He turned off the light, fell on the big kang in the dark, and closed his eyes.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xun told Zhong Liye two things: the first one, after Yu Shaoyun returned home yesterday, he fell ill at night, and his illness was suspected to be a seasonal epidemic near the capital; At the beginning, I didn't realize that if I had a meal with my family, I was afraid that it would bring disaster to my family. Therefore, for the sake of all the officials and the holy dragon body, Yongpinghou asked sick to recuperate at home, so he couldn't go to the early morning pilgrimage today.

Zhong Liye naturally couldn't believe it, and looked at Xiao Xun suspiciously: "Really?"

"If the humble minister has half a lie, let the emperor tell you."

"I'll send you when I'm free!" Zhong Liye hurried to the Golden Luan Hall, didn't have time to pay attention to Xiao Xun, left behind these words, and strode away.

Xiao Xun smiled with satisfaction.

Zhong Liye was not very happy at first, but after being promoted to the dragon chair, he became more and more annoyed——

Headed by Tang Hongxiao, the censor of the left and right capitals, and Tang Hongxiao, the censor of the right capital, they all impeached Ye Shuxuan.And that's just the beginning.Next, many courtiers seconded the proposal and asked him to punish Ye Shuxuan for his crimes, and many people also put Yu Shaoheng on the table, saying that Marquis Yongping could not escape the responsibility.

The impeachment of important ministers is a common occurrence in the Golden Palace, but it is not right to be impeached by so many courtiers and officials - the battle is too great.Whether it is the prime minister or the Minister of the Ministry of War, they are all people he entrusts with important tasks and trust, but these people look like they can't tolerate them at all. It is said that the prime minister and the Minister of the Ministry of War are negligent, but it actually means... If you want to take away the power of the courtiers he relies on, you want to take him away, right?
At the same time, Tang Hongxiao and Song Qingshan were also made suspicious and uneasy by this battle.They prepared enough evidence to succeed in impeaching Ye Shuxuan, but they didn't expect to add so many "helpers" out of thin air.

The emperor's mind can be guessed after a period of time as an official.What made Zhong Liye extremely angry was also what made them terrified.

When the emperor said that a person should be reused, most people would agree with it, and it was reasonable for a few people to object. The emperor would not be unhappy because of this, but would feel more at ease.Because the emperor wants to use talents who are unique, but they are not perfect. It is not a bad thing for that person to have some flaws.

However, after the emperor said that a person deserves to be reused and has been reused for a while, he will be very annoyed when most people jump out and say that this person is useless - which, on the other hand, is that too many people question his view of people. Use human eyes.He will not dislike the people who are reused because of this, but only hate the people who make his face dull.

Today's situation is precisely the latter.

Zhong Liye flipped through the memorial presented by Tang Hongxiao, looked at Ye Shuxuan's criminal evidence listed above, and asked in a low voice for a long while: "Youqian capital censor is going to kill relatives righteously? Are the words in the memorial true?"

Knowing that the situation was wrong, Tang Hongxiao was very flustered, but it was too late to repent, so he could only sincerely claim that it was true.

Zhong Liye got up abruptly, and threw the memorial heavily on the Longshu case, "If that's the case, I will order people to conduct a thorough investigation! The prime minister is really guilty, and I will definitely hold him accountable! If one of the charges against the prime minister is fabricated by the imperial censor of Youqian Don't blame me for punishing me severely!"

After analyzing these words in detail, it can be seen that Zhong Liye has actually hidden his partiality.The brains of the officials are not slow, so they can naturally hear something strange.

Because of this, Ye Shuxuan became more calm and relaxed.

Tang Hongxiao felt more and more that his catastrophe was coming.

Zhong Liye also talked about Yu Shaoheng: "Impeach the person who cannot escape the relationship with the Marquis of Yongping, and present real evidence. The person who speculates and speaks nonsense, go and get twenty boards on his own."

"..." No one dared to answer.

Zhong Liye's eyes wandered among the officials, and when he glanced at Prince Jing, he paused for a moment and smiled coldly.
