Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Yue Junxu was slightly startled when he heard this, and the hand holding the cup froze.

He looked at his daughter in front of him with a complicated expression, "How do you know this person?"

Qingchen looked at his father's expression and said calmly: "Qingchen once passed by Leng Palace and got to know him."

Yue Junxu immediately became nervous, "Did he do anything to you?"

"No, I was wearing a palace maid's uniform. He thought I was just a palace maid."

In this way, Yue Junxu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his daughter's inquiring expression at this time, and said with sincerity: "Qingchen, you are still young, you don't know the dangers of people's hearts..."

"Father, Qingchen is already twenty-eight years old. He is no longer young. I can still tell who is good and who is bad."

"So you know that person, do you think he is kind?"

Qingchen paused for a moment, "Qingchen just feels that the entanglement between two countries requires sacrificing the freedom of a child. It is unfair to that child and can be said to be cruel."

He Lanyan was locked up in the cold palace for ten years. During these ten years, he never went out or interacted with others.

He was trapped in a small palace like that, with no one caring about him, no one talking to him, and even three meals a day were rotten...

Qingchen knows all too well what it feels like to be trapped in a place.

She only married into the Zhao family for five years and was trapped in a small courtyard for five years.

She died in depression.

Not to mention he was imprisoned for ten years.

Yue Junxu put down the cup, and what came to mind was He Lanyan's appearance as a child ten years ago.

He remembered the child's appearance when he was sent into the palace. His face was full of stubbornness, but there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Then do you know that the death of your eldest brother has something to do with him?" Yue Junxu's words were like a big stone thrown into the lake of her heart, causing huge waves.

Yue Junxu looked at her shocked look, sighed, and gave up the idea of ​​having a meal. He stood up and left the Mingyue Palace with Rongquan.

Qingchen reacted and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the slave beside him.

Rong Quan deliberately stayed a step and explained to her: "Princess, don't ask any more questions. The matter of the eldest prince has always been a pain in the emperor's heart. Please don't continue to add salt to the emperor's wounds."

Qingchen froze and did not continue to catch up.

It's just that she has to figure out what the death of her eldest brother has to do with He Lanyan, right?

The eldest brother was still a teenager ten years ago.

And He Lanyan was just a child ten years ago.

How could his death be related to He Lanyan?

Qingchen's heart was full of doubts. After hearing what Rong Quan said about her father, she couldn't continue to ask further questions.

On the side of Brother Five Emperors...

That's all, it's better to ask He Lanyan yourself.

Maybe I can get something out of it.

Thinking of this, Qingchen made some festive cakes, put on the palace maid's clothes, and walked to the cold palace.

When she reached the cold palace, she noticed something unusual.

The several palaces surrounding Helan Yanling Palace were originally abandoned cold palaces.

But now there are actually guards guarding the door.

She didn't dare go there at all.

These cold palaces are all uninhabited. It would be too strange for her to go in with a food box.

Thinking of this, she looked at the gate of Leng Palace where He Lanyan was locked.

Taking a deep breath, Qingchen walked over with the food box in hand.

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the guard, "Ninth Princess, please come back."

Nine princesses...

Hey, no, how did this person know his princess?

It's obvious that she is wearing a palace maid's uniform.

"My lord, you are joking. This servant is just a maid in the dining room..."

After hearing this, the guard took out the portrait, looked at it, and said, "Please, Ninth Princess, please don't embarrass me."

Qingchen wanted to look at the portrait, but the guard put the portrait away without thinking.

This……

Qingchen was stunned for a long time and could only turn back to Mingyue Palace.

How is this going?

Why were so many people suddenly sent to guard here?

Was it the emperor's brother or the emperor's father?

After Qingchen returned to Mingyue Palace, no one dared to look for him.

With his father's attitude and the matter regarding the eldest emperor brother, he probably would not let him have any contact with He Lanyan again.

It's over, this time I really shot myself in the foot.

In this case, she would never see He Lanyan again, and she wouldn't even know when he would run away.

How to communicate with him so that he will not attack Dongming Kingdom when he becomes king?

Qingchen's head hurt when he thought about it, but he hadn't figured out a way yet.

……

He Lanyan didn't see Qingchen coming for half a month.

An uneasiness rose in his heart, fearing that something had happened to her.

What if she hasn't become stronger yet and she makes a mistake and is punished by her master...

He Lanyan didn't dare to think any further. He was now eager to know Qingchen's safety.

……

Qingchen hasn't been to Shedian for half a month.

She knew that Yue Qinghe would not go, because as soon as Yuan Day passed, his father gave titles and fiefdoms to all his brothers.

Residences have been built in Kyoto a long time ago, and soon the imperial brothers will be able to move out of the palace and have their own residences.

At this moment, Yue Qinghe is probably busy with moving his mansion.

The crown prince position is still vacant, and no one can figure out the father's heart.

Qingchen has been thinking of ways to go to Leng Palace to find He Lanyan for a while.

But they were all stopped by the guards.

She had no choice but to make the dishes herself, and asked Lu Wu to help deliver them to Leng Gong.

Lu Wu looked at this little palace maid whom he had met several times, frowned and said, "Why don't you go and send it off yourself?"

"I..." Qingchen didn't know how to explain, so he could only say: "I was assigned to serve the princess, so I am not responsible for delivering food, but the young master in the cold palace treated me very well, not like what you said The murderer, Sister Luwu, can you help me deliver it once?"

"This..." Lu Wu was just curious. If she wasn't working in the dining room, could she deliver the food herself?

Why send it yourself?

And last time, His Highness the Fifth seemed to be looking for something to do with her. Should he tell her?

Lu Wu thought that she was already standing in front of him intact, and said that she had been transferred to serve the princess.

That shouldn't be much of a problem.

Thinking of this, Lu Wu didn't say much, "Okay, I'll deliver it for you."

When Lu Wu entered the cold palace, Qingchen stood not far from the cold palace and watched her walk in.

According to what she said, Lu Wu placed the food box on the stone table in the courtyard and left Leng Gong.

Qingchen took out the broken silver and wanted to give it to her, but she wouldn't accept it, "It's just a small effort, don't do this, it will insult my character."

After many years in the palace, Qingchen actually knew that many servants were just looking for food. It was really rare to meet such a true-hearted person as Lu Wu.

I hope He Lanyan will know that he gave it to him when he sees the food box.

……

After He Lanyan from the cold palace saw the familiar food box on the stone table, he immediately stepped forward to open the food box. Inside was a familiar dish of stir-fried rabbit meat.

His heart, which had been hanging for more than half a month, finally relaxed.

There is a note in the food box.

——I’ve been busy lately, so I won’t be back for a while, but you also have to eat well.

These few words, like a warm current, warmed his heart all the way.
