Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 231 The Flower in the Mirror, the Moon in the Water

However, when Helian Yuyang saw Yu Moyao's obsessed eyes, most of the original interest was gone.

Yue Shuangning has never looked at him like this before, and now he doesn't know whether he has appeared in Yue Shuangning's eyes.

This woman was no different from the women he usually saw.He also lost his desire to know the face under the veil.

Seeing that he was only one step away from success, Yu Moyao messed it up by himself.Concubine Lin was full of anger.

She winked at the maid beside her, and that maid immediately went up and knocked Yu Moyao on the back without a trace, waking up Yu Moyao who was thousands of miles away.

Yu Moyao felt regretful in her heart, the best opportunity was actually missed by herself.

However, she still tore off the veil silently to let Helian Yuyang see clearly.

In Helian Yuyang's eyes, there was neither surprise nor disappointment.

"From now on, you are not allowed to dance such sacrificial dances in the palace, do you hear me!" He ordered everyone.

"The concubine dare not again." Concubine Lin immediately responded, she looked at Yu Moyao with disgust, thinking, when she finds a chance, she must take her skin off.

"Imperial brother, you walk with me." After a while, Helian Yuyang shifted his gaze to Prince Heng who was waiting for the opportunity.

Although Prince Heng was somewhat puzzled by Concubine Lin's bold approach, seeing that Helian Yuyang was finally leaving, he immediately agreed and lifted his robe to stand up.

Seeing Helian Yuyang's figure drifting away, Yu Moyao was at a loss.

Concubine Lin asked awkwardly, "Your Majesty, what about these dancers?"

He Lian Yu raised his head and said without turning back: "They should stay in the palace for now."

Just one sentence gave Concubine Lin hope again. Originally, she had imagined two endings. One was that He Lian Yuyang executed all the dancers, and the second was that Yu Moyao was killed. Attract her into the harem.

But now, Helian Yuyang left them in the palace, so it seems that this is just a matter of lack of time.

In the imperial garden at night, there is a faint fragrance.During the day, the flowers compete for splendor, and at night, they begin to compete with each other for their fragrances.

He Lian Yuyang walked to the shore of the jagged lake, with Prince Heng on his back, his gaze dim.

"Brother Huang..." Seeing that there was no one here, Prince Heng wanted to speak for Leng Bingxin because it was a good opportunity to speak.

However, it was interrupted suddenly by Helian Yuyang.

"Imperial Brother, what kind of person do you think I am? Especially for my wife and son." Helian Yuyang's words contained a lot of distress.

Even though the dance tonight was not what he wanted to watch, it did remind him of the past.

The one who can be called his wife is probably the only woman in this world.

Prince Heng was speechless, of course he couldn't sing praises to Helian Yuyang like others.It is true that Helian Yuyang is not a good husband.What a good father, well, it's just a little special, after all, he is in the royal family.However, it is not easy for him to say these hurtful words.

"Imperial brother is in trouble, so there is no need to answer." Helian Yuyang continued: "But, emperor, do you know why I was so angry when I saw the Jiyue Clan's sacrificial dance tonight?"

"My brother thinks, those past events are things that the emperor doesn't want to recall. Concubine Lin's actions are obviously picking on the scars of the emperor to find trouble." Prince Heng slowly replied.

"This is not the main thing." Helian Yuyang sighed sadly, "The Jiyue tribe is a nation with strong beliefs. Even a dance can be used as a sustenance for their beliefs. Back then, the Jiyue tribe wanted to pass In various forms, they propagate their beliefs in Beiming."

"I will not object to my people's beliefs, but the purpose of the Jiyue Clan is not to simply sell their beliefs, but to manipulate their hearts through this step. This is absolutely not allowed by me. Otherwise, it is to put Beiming country is pushed into crisis."

"So, after Shuang Ning came to Beiming, I never asked her to dance similar dances. I was also very unhappy about what happened today. As a noble concubine of a country, I didn't even have this awareness. I am really saddened by the internal struggle."

After the words were finished, Prince Heng really had nothing to say.He already knew the reason in his heart, but he didn't say it out. It was his usual roundabout way of doing things.

But he didn't regret it either. It's not a safe thing to be good at thinking about the king's heart.For the sake of the stability of the Prince's Mansion, he would not say what should not be said.

"Thinking about it, it's because the younger brother can't understand the good intentions of the emperor." Prince Heng also felt sorry for Helian Yuyang. If Helian Yuyang was not the king of a country, many things would be much simpler, and Helian Yuyang would also She won't go to the point of despair with Yue Shuangning.

What is gained is bound to be lost, and Helian Yuyang was responsible for Beiming Kingdom, Yue Shuangning's life.

The evening breeze was cool, Helian Yuyang looked at the undulating surface of the lake, there seemed to be a few ripples of water in his eyes.

He has endured the helplessness of being in a high position for many years, and he can only find someone who understands him.became a luxury.But since he has shouldered the burden of a country, he has to keep going.

He is already satisfied to have Prince Heng, a younger brother who can listen to his innermost thoughts.

"Imperial brother, do you think I'm being a little too cruel to Yu'er?" The next moment, Helian Yuyang spoke slowly, his voice as soft as ripples, "I can tell that he has never been willing Call me my father."

"Actually, it's not his fault. Back then, it was I who refused to let their mother and son reunite, and insisted on making him recognize Concubine Hu Shun as his mother. Later..."

What happened later, he seemed to choke up for a while, and then he didn't mention it again.The dust-covered past has become royal secrets, and the less it is mentioned, the better.

Prince Heng was slightly stunned, and then, he remembered some things Helian Yuyang had said to him before, and recalled: "Brother, you said that everything you do is for the consideration of His Royal Highness Yu Wang."

"You asked him to recognize Concubine Hu Shun as his mother because of Shuang Ning's sensitive identity. If the Jiyue clan knows that the future prince has the blood of the Jiyue clan, it will fuel their arrogance. In this way, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, His Royal Highness Prince Yu Just miss the throne."

"And in the heart of the emperor's brother, he regarded him as the only heir. He had a way, so he adopted such a method. Later, the emperor's brother listened to the suggestion of Lin Fei and sent him to Kunlun to study art, and let him Going to Huaxi Kingdom is also to let him stand the test and take on the burden of the future. Sooner or later, His Royal Highness King Yu will understand."

Prince Heng talked eloquently, and after talking for a long time, the hesitation in Helian Yuyang's eyes also quietly faded away.

After a long time, Helian Yuyang said calmly: "I also hope that there will be such a day. I don't know how he will do this time in Yinzhou?"

Prince Heng answered, "If Brother Huang is worried, why don't you send someone to help?"

Before the words fell, Helian Yuyang snorted coldly, "I won't help him, he has to face all these things by himself. If he can't even do such a little thing, then he will be in this position in the future." Even if you sit on it, it won't last long."

"Not to mention, he has to contend with Xiao Ye who is eyeing Beiming Kingdom."

Prince Heng nodded quickly and said yes, secretly thinking in his heart, hoping that He Lianyu could get through it safely.

"Miss Yu from His Royal Highness Yu's residence may help him. In my opinion, Miss Yu's temperament is really similar to Shuang Ning." Immediately, a bright smile appeared on his face.

In this world, there are not many people who dare to negotiate terms with him, let alone women.But today, Yu Moying came to negotiate terms with him without any timidity, and he admired this woman.

Thinking of this, Prince Heng also thought of the purpose of entering the palace today, he should tell Helian Yuyang about the cold hearted matter, otherwise, he would have to be classified with treacherous villains.

Over the years, the principle he has followed has always been that no one owes me, and I don't owe anyone.This time, there is no exception.

However, Helian Yuyang's thoughts had already shifted to Yu Moying and Yue Shuangning. For some reason, he also felt that the two of them were a little alike, maybe because of the stubbornness in their bones.

This is also strange, Yu Moying is just the daughter of a criminal minister from another country, how could she feel this way to herself?

This feeling, Yue Shuangning planted a memory for herself more than ten years ago, and now thinking about it, it seems like yesterday.

At this time, a sudden gust of wind disturbed the clear water of the lake, making the moon reflected in the lake look fragmented.

The moon in the water is always so unreal.Helian Yuyang was filled with melancholy, he also wanted to protect Yue Shuangning back then, but, in fact, it was contrary to people's wishes.

For him, Yue Shuangning is like a flower in a mirror and a moon in water. Once it is broken, the beautiful scenery that has been painstakingly woven will also be shattered.

After a while, Helian Yuyang exhaled slowly, put his hand on his forehead and said: "My Royal Brother, I have suffered from a headache again, I have to go back to the bedroom to rest first, so I can't continue talking to you."

Prince Heng opened his mouth and could only close it. Thinking about it, Helian Yuyang's body is more important, and it's okay to tell him when his body recovers.Anyway, the imperial decree has not been drawn up yet.

Ten days later, Yinzhou.

Yinzhou is surrounded by water on three sides. In the city, rivers and rivers criss-cross.

In the past, there were grass markets all over the rivers with dense crowds, and there were not many Qinlou and Chu Pavilions in the water.

However, there is a stark contrast between the prosperity of the past and the depression of today.In Yinzhou City, most of them were lifeless.On the grass market by the river, there are no vendors and customers coming and going.The women in the brothel also closed their doors and refused to accept customers.

The night before He Lianyu and Yu Moying came here, they randomly found an inn to stay.

He first sent a letter to Yinzhou from the start, and the prefect of Yinzhou quickly ordered the city to be closed.After arriving in Yinzhou, he took Yu Moying to inspect the hardest-hit area for a long time, ordered people to build a treatment shed overnight, and asked the imperial physicians from the palace to investigate the epidemic first, and then report to him.
