The baby-making system is unreliable

At the end of May of that year, Princess Yuan'an caused chaos in the palace and had an affair with the female official Zhao Yushu, which was difficult to conceal. This alarmed the empress and caused her to have a "difficult delivery" for a while.

At the end of June, the empress ordered the two to be "executed" in order to rectify the situation in Yongchang Palace. However, considering the sisterly love, Zhao was temporarily imprisoned in the palace dungeon, and Princess Yuan'an was forced to reflect on her mistakes facing the wall in Qi'an Hall, and would be sent off after the empress felt better.

"It's my fault, my sister. Please let Yu Shu go. I am willing to take all the blame on myself. Please let her live."

Princess Yuan'an's voice could be heard in Qi'an Palace every day, but it was not for herself, but for Zhao Yushu to beg for mercy.

Since then, there have been rumors among the palace servants that the empress is ruthless and strict in governing the palace. Anyone who violates the palace rules will be severely punished, no matter their status.

"Royal sister, is this really necessary?! Li Jiayinwan's sister submitted a petition to beg for mercy today, and so did Li Mingze. And... they all..." Xiao Yuze's meaning was obvious, he came to beg Yun Xirou to let his second sister go.

Seeing that Yun Xirou said nothing, little Yuze, with tears on his face, tightly grasped the corner of his sister's clothes, his voice filled with tears and despair.

"Royal sister, please, don't... I only have two relatives left, elder sister... please let my second sister go. I don't want to lose any more relatives, really!!"

As Xiao Yuze spoke, his body began to tremble involuntarily, as if he had lost all support.

"Yuze, since it is what she did, she must be responsible for her actions." Yun Xirou said lightly, with helplessness in her words: "Maybe if she is not a princess, no one will say that she did something wrong, but she is the eldest princess of a country, and her every word and action is under surveillance. This is the helplessness of being a royal family."

She is the eldest princess of a country, and her status and position mean that her every move will be watched and scrutinized by everyone.

The slightest mistake will lead to countless criticisms and blame. This is the helpless situation that people born in the royal family have to face.

Xiao Yuze couldn't be persuaded in the end. He looked unhappy and turned back to the palace.

After he left, two people came out from the secret passage in Qiyu Palace. They were Yuan'an and Zhao Yushu.

Someone also walked out slowly from the ear room, holding the little daughter Luo Yi in his arms. There were faint traces of tears on Luo Yi's face, and it seemed that she had just cried.

Wen Shengxian carefully coaxed his little daughter, slowly walked to Yun Xirou's side, and asked calmly, "This may be a farewell forever, so you don't want to say goodbye to Xiao Yuze? You also heard what he said just now."

After all, the relationship between the two is pretty good. This time, the two of them will probably never come back after leaving Beijing, which means that the siblings will never have the chance to meet again.

"No need to persuade me anymore, sister, please take care of yourself! And Mr. Wen, the same goes for you!" Yuan'an looked at the person in front of him with a firm gaze, a look of determination on his face.

She was wearing a simple and plain casual dress without too many gorgeous decorations, but she looked particularly refreshing and neat.

She raised her head slightly, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "I have decided to leave. I will leave a letter for him to let him know that I am still alive and will step out of this towering palace wall and venture into the vast outside world."

Yuan'an turned his head to look at Zhao Yushu, and the two looked at each other. There was a firm choice between them, as if with this friendship, they would not be afraid of anything in the future and could face it calmly.

"For a long time, we have been trapped here, like a bird in a cage, losing our freedom. But now, I finally have the courage to break free and pursue my own sky. So, Sister, Mr. Wen, you should be relieved and happy about my decision!"

After saying this, Yuan'an seemed to feel relieved. Her resolute look made it impossible to discourage her.

Over the years, her sister has helped her to resolve all the issues she has encountered. This time, it is time for her to resolve the issue herself. This is what she should do.

"Yuan'an has already caused too much trouble for my sister, so let me do it alone this time."

Yuan'an knelt resolutely on the ground, his knees making crisp sounds as they hit the stone slabs, clearly showing that he had made up his mind.

"I will take good care of her. We will go wherever we want to go, just the two of us, to a place where no one knows us."

At the same time, Zhao Yushu beside him also knelt down without hesitation. The two knelt side by side, as if they had become each other's most solid support.

"Take care on your journey. I will have the secret guards escort you away. From now on, there will no longer be Princess Yongchang. Please change your name."

Yun Yurou sighed at Yuan An, then turned to look at Zhao Yushu and said seriously, "Take good care of her. Although she didn't have a good life when she was a child, she has never suffered any hardship since she grew up."

Since things have developed to this point, it would be best for them to leave this place. As for the girl who betrayed her master, just get rid of her.

Yuan'an kowtowed three times to his elder sister and said his final farewell earnestly: "First, I bow to my elder sister for her protection. Second, I bow to my elder sister for her care. Third, I bow to my elder sister for her life-saving love."

After this departure, the sky is high and the sea is far, the world is vast, and I will travel across thousands of mountains and rivers. There will no longer be the Princess and Zhao Shangyi in Yongchang.

Yun Xirou watched the two people leaving and felt inexplicably lost in her heart. Her eyes subconsciously fell on the pastries on the table.

"If you're worried, you can have someone follow you all the time and no one will notice. Not many people know about it anyway."

Wen Shengxian saw everything and knew that she was reluctant to give up. After all, habit is a terrible thing.

It is normal to feel uncomfortable when someone who has always been in your life for so many years suddenly leaves. All your joys, sorrows, anger and happiness over the years may have been caused by that person. How can you get used to someone leaving so quickly? !

"No need." Yun Xirou sighed softly, then shook her head slowly, her eyes gentle yet firm, and touched the cheek of the little daughter in Wen Shengxian's arms.

Then, Yun Xirou smiled and took her eldest daughter Luo Xi from Liu Zhi's hands. Luo Xi blinked her big, lively eyes and nestled in her mother's arms obediently.

"Yes, we should be happy for her. She will leave here and have her own life in the future." Yun Xirou murmured to herself, looking at the towering palace walls.

At this time, the sunlight just happened to fall on the palace wall, outlining a golden outline. As the breeze blew gently, the light and shadow swayed, sometimes bright and dazzling, sometimes dim and hazy, adding a touch of mystery and charming color to the whole scene.

Outside the palace wall, two figures were seen holding hands, like a pair of immortal lovers, their steps were light and cheerful, as if they were not restrained by the heavy palace walls at all.

"You just follow me so obediently. Aren't you worried that I'll let you go hungry?"

Zhao Yushu held Yuan'an's soft and delicate little hand tightly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, then he put his lips close to Yuan'an's pink ear like a petal and whispered softly.

After hearing this, Yuan'an was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile blossomed on his face, as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Then she responded in her soft and sweet voice: "How could that be? I don't believe you would bear to let me starve!" After saying that, she blinked her big watery eyes mischievously.

Hearing that Yuan'an trusted her so much, Zhao Yushu felt a warm current in her heart. She gently squeezed Yuan'an's palm and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will never treat you badly. I have my own small treasury. At worst, we can open a dessert shop or a rouge shop, and we can still live a prosperous life."

After saying that, she touched Yuan'an's hair lovingly again, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

The wind blew gently, blowing their clothes, and their faces were filled with smiles of happiness and satisfaction. That smile was as bright and dazzling as a flower blooming in spring.

……

Ten years later, the situation in the world changed dramatically, but one major event shocked the court and the public. The empress passed the throne to her younger brother Yun Yuze. Once the news came out, it caused an uproar.

At the same time, the entire Wen family withdrew from the court, and resolutely announced their withdrawal from court disputes, and would no longer be involved in political affairs.

While everyone was talking, the Wen family had already packed their bags, and the family supported each other and slowly set out on the road to leave the capital.

After several days of travel, the Wen family finally arrived in Nancheng. With beautiful scenery and simple folk customs, it is a good place to recuperate.

The spacious and magnificent carriage was like a moving palace, moving slowly and steadily on the flat road.

The car curtain trembled slightly, as if blown by a breeze, and then a white and delicate little hand gently lifted a corner.

Suddenly, a cute little head poked out from the gap. This was a little girl about ten years old. Her pink and round face was as beautiful as the peach blossoms in spring, making people want to pinch it.

She blinked her eyes, her gaze like a lively little deer, quickly scanning the unfamiliar scenery around her. She turned her head to look at the couple sitting in the car and asked in a baby voice, "Daddy and Mommy, is this our new home?!"

The sound is clear and pleasant, like the melodious chirping of a yellow oriole in the valley in the early morning, or like the gurgling stream caressing pebbles.

The elder sister sitting next to her looked at her innocent and lively sister, shook her head helplessly, and said softly, "Little sister, can you be a little more stable? You are always so impetuous."

Although she said this, her sister's eyes revealed a hint of pampering and tolerance.

"You two little guys, don't act crazy when you're in a strange place!?"

Yun Xirou looked at the rouge shop not far away. The proprietress was busy greeting the girls with a slight smile on her face.

Yun Xirou paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Remember to write down any interesting places you find, and write back to tell your uncle."

"I know, I know." Luo Yi responded happily with a bright smile on his face, and couldn't wait to open the car door and jump out.

She took light steps like a nimble deer and ran to the stall selling candied haws not far away in a flash.

I saw the strings of red and shiny candied haws neatly arranged on the shelves, exuding an enticing sweet fragrance.

Luo Yi's eyes lit up, and she pointed excitedly at the biggest and reddest string of candied haws, and said loudly, "I want this one, sister, can you have one too?!"

She turned her head with anticipation and looked at her sister Luo Xi who was following behind her. Outside, she was a crowd-pleaser who no one could stop and she got excited when there were many people around.

However, Luo Xi pouted helplessly and snorted softly: "Tsk... No, can you be more mature?"

She folded her arms across her chest and looked at her sister's greedy look, feeling both amused and angry.

"Yuan Ning is really willful by leaving everything to Xiao Yuze and just leaving like that." Wen Shengxian took her hand and got out of the car with her. He hadn't been back to Nancheng for a long time.

When his feet stepped on this familiar yet unfamiliar land again, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. After all, he had not returned to South City for a long time.

"How does it feel to be back in your hometown? Do you think the air is much fresher?!"

Yun Xirou pulled him forward, opened her arms and quietly felt the customs and culture of this land.

"Oh my! This young man is really born with a good appearance, so handsome! Look at his eyebrows, nose, and lips, wow..."

The kind-hearted lady on the roadside stared at the perfect couple with shining eyes, praising them non-stop with a warm smile on her face.

She was first attracted by the handsome appearance of the man, then turned her gaze to the woman and continued, "Ahem... the young lady is also very beautiful. Standing together with the young man, you are really a perfect match made in heaven! The two of you are really a perfect match!"

Hearing the praise from the auntie, Yun Yi blushed, but her heart was filled with sweetness. She glanced at Wen Shengxian beside her coquettishly, then smiled and responded, "Thank you for the compliment, auntie."

Yun Yi nodded gently, with a hint of joy in her eyes. She turned to look at Wen Shengxian and said lovingly, "Of course, my Yanzhi is so handsome, much better than others! Of course I have to keep him by my side all the time and tie him tightly."

After saying that, she stretched out her delicate hand and gently took Wen Shengxian's wrist. The two smiled at each other, just like the most ordinary loving couple in South City.

Wen Shengxian put on a faint smile and put one hand on hers naturally: "We will always be together until we grow old, right!?"

Yun Xirou smiled lightly, her words adding a hint of playfulness: "Of course, do I even need to ask?!"

"Mom, Dad, come soon." Luo Yi seemed to have found something fun again. He jumped happily and waved to the two of them.

Wen Shengxian smiled and said, "We will walk through the streets and alleys of South City with our two children, just like an ordinary couple."

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the family held hands, leaving behind their slender shadows.
