promise you

The moment the door was opened, the dazzling sunlight shone on Chu Hui's eyes.She raised her hand to cover half of her face, and opened her eyes through her fingers. This light should be the first light this morning, and after today, the people who threatened her the most will leave the capital, and the dark clouds will disperse Now, can the sunny day be far behind?

Passing palace people saw the weird smile on Chu Hui's lips, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they quickened their pace and ran away: "Why does Your Highness look so evil today?"

However, Chu Hui didn't notice the little palace man, but stopped Eunuch Chen who was passing by: "What time is it?"

"It's Yin time." Eunuch Chen replied.

"Yin time?" This is about the same time as Chu Hui's guess, "The emperor's younger brothers are leaving Beijing today, are you ready by now?"

Eunuch Chen nodded and said: "It's almost ready, the servant is here now to change the emperor's clothes."

"Let's go in later, and let Father take a nap, so that we can be refreshed when we see him off." Chu Huiduo said, after all, even though she was the one who suggested that she couldn't hold on anymore, it was Father who had a bad face. .After all, at such an old age, I don't know what I was thinking yesterday, but I played chess with myself all night, and even lost all night.

"Your servant obeys!" Eunuch Chen looked at Chu Hui with a thankful face. It turned out that he hadn't thought carefully, and now he went directly, and the emperor was afraid that he would make a score for him in his heart.

After Chu Hui said these words, she wanted to go back, but she didn't expect to be stopped by Chu Siyuan halfway.

"Sister Huang—" Chu Siyuan had another expression on the verge of tears, "I'm leaving Beijing today, aren't you going to see me off?"

"Why are you in a hurry? Father and I will see you off when you really have to leave." Chu Hui continued to walk forward expressionlessly, and when she reached Chu Siyuan's side, she turned her body sideways, "Close Considering your appearance, you chose to go to the Southern Territory yourself, and it seems that your father forced you to go, if it is heard by your father, how can you explain it?"

Although Chu Hui's complexion was not good, but Chu Siyuan didn't know which nerve was touched when he heard this, and said quite moved: "I knew it, Sister Huang still cares about me."

"..." Chu Hui didn't know where Chu Siyuan came to this conclusion, she was really just mocking him. "I don't care about you. It's just that you complain to me. If the emperor knows about it, he will inevitably blame me."

But no matter what Chu Hui said, Chu Siyuan only regarded her as the most hard-hearted and soft-hearted.After all, just as Yu Moyan said, the two of them are siblings who climbed out of the same mother's womb, and the emperor's sister treated him differently from Chu Sixian.The reason why he was able to make up his mind to go to the Southern Region this time was also because he firmly believed that Chu Hui could hold on to the throne for him.

"Sister Huang, when I return, I will definitely control the Southern Territory in my hands, and then I will let Sister Huang enjoy the supreme glory." This is a promise, a promise left by Chu Siyuan to Chu Hui.After he finished speaking, he didn't block Chu Hui's way, instead he took a step ahead.

This time, Chu Hui was left standing there, stunned for a long time before sneering, and said: "I accept your auspicious words, as you—— wish!" The so-called supreme glory can only be enjoyed in that seat of.

......

Today is the day when several princes went to the southern region to fight together. The emperor led all his ministers to practice for them, and a group of people joined in the fun, so the gate of the city was crowded with people, but there were no people on other streets in the capital.

But it is different here in Yangliu Hutong. The people living here are all widows or disabled people. They have no children or grandchildren. They usually rely on begging to get a bite of food. To see the fun.Therefore, Yunwan suddenly appeared here, which made people look very out of harmony. She even wore a very inconspicuous coat today, but the good material still didn't fit in Yangliu Hutong.

It was already past Si Shi, and people came out of dilapidated yards one after another with bowls missing a few corners and on crutches.There are neighbors who are familiar with each other from house to house, and when they suddenly see a stranger like Yun Wan, they can't help but take a few extra glances at her.Those gazes were purely curious, without any malice, and of course they didn't dare to show any malice at all, even those who wanted to walk past Yunwan took the initiative to lean against the corner of the wall, for fear of bumping into her.

Yunwan waited for a long time but no one came to talk to her, so she sighed helplessly, and took the initiative to find an old man who just came out of the house: "Old man, can I ask you something?"

"What are you talking about?" The old man doesn't seem to be very old, but his ears are no longer sharp. He didn't understand what Yunwan was saying at all. If he wasn't alone here, he wouldn't believe Yunwan. I'm talking to myself.

Yunwan didn't want to trouble two people with one thing, so she repeated it again, this time louder: "Old man, I want to ask you about someone."

"Ask someone?" Now that the old man finally heard clearly, he said, "You can ask, as long as they have lived in this Yangliu Hutong within 30 years, there is no one that my old beard doesn't know."

Coincidentally, the person Yunwan wanted to inquire about was a person who lived in Yangliu Hutong more than 20 years ago, but it was inconvenient to directly name that person in public, so she said, "Old man, it's convenient to go to your house first." Home? Let's sit down and have a good chat."

"That's not okay. If you don't go out now, you won't be able to ask for food." The old beard didn't want to waste a little time, if he was delayed, he would be hungry all day.

Then Yunwan took out a silver ingot and handed it directly to the old Hutou: "Old man, you take this first, if there is not enough, I have some more here."

Old Hutou had never seen such a big silver ingot in his life, and he didn't dare to accept it. He waved his hands repeatedly: "This can't be done, this can't be..."

"Just accept it, if you really know the person I am asking, then you will be doing me a great favor!" Yun Wan forcefully stuffed the silver ingot into the old beard's hand.

"...You girl doll has quite strong hands!" Old Hutou said a little strangely. He didn't want to accept it just now, but he couldn't resist Yunwan's hand strength, "Then I'll take you back first."

After entering the old Hutou's yard, Yun Wan really felt how poor the people in Yangliu Hutong are. The gate is broken and the yard is empty. As for the house, there is not even a door on the house. There are not many things inside. This house is only used to shelter from wind and rain.

"Girl, you can tell whoever you want to know." The old Hutou didn't even have a place to sit at home, so he didn't have to stick to etiquette at this moment, he insisted on asking Yun Wan to sit down.

Yunwan didn't mind, she said, "Old man, there was a person named Pei Yi who lived in Yangliu Hutong before, do you still have any memory?"

"Pei Yi?" Old Hutou repeated the name, "I seem to have a bit of an impression. Did that person live here 20 years ago and have a broken leg?"

"That's right, that's right, the old man knows him?" Yunwan suddenly became excited. Twenty years ago, she broke a leg. This person's features are exactly the same as the one the princess was looking for, and it seems to be him.

"That's right, this Pei Yi is one of the most powerful people in Yangliu Hutong. Although he has a broken leg, he never makes a living by begging like we do." The old beard's tone was somewhat admirable, "He They all rely on themselves as carpenters for a living. Speaking of which, he is a good carver, but he has a lame leg. It is extremely inconvenient to move wood every time. He is unwilling to ask us for help, so he can't make any money. …”

"Where's the child? Did Pei Yi bring a child with him when he came to Yangliu Hutong?" Yunwan asked anxiously. If this Pei Yi was that Pei Yi, then he should have a child with him.

"Child? Don't you remember any children he had? Pei Yi came to Yangliu Hutong alone at the beginning, and he was still alone when he died." The old beard couldn't remember any children at all, "Girl, are you It's not that I asked the wrong person, maybe the Pei Yi I know is not the Pei Yi you're looking for."

Impossible, this Pei Yi must be the one the princess was looking for. As for not bringing the child with her, maybe something happened on the way.Yunwan asked again: "Old man, is that Pei Yi still there? Can you take me to meet him?"

But the old man shook his head and said: "He was gone three years ago. After all, he lost a leg. After he got old, his eyes were blurred, so he couldn't earn a little money by doing carpentry, and he didn't want to go out to beg. There wasn't a single meal, he got a serious illness one winter day three years ago, and couldn't make it through. But the yard where he lived is still there, if you want to see it, I can take you there." Pei Yi died After that, few outsiders went to his place.

"Then there will be Lao Lao!" Yunwan still wants to go and see, even though Pei Yi is dead, maybe what will be left in his home.After all, the child he took away was probably the princess's younger brother, and that child was extremely important to the princess.

It's just a pity that when I went to the courtyard where Pei Yi lived, I didn't find anything useful.Yun Wan was not sure if this Pei Yi was that Pei Yi after all.Otherwise, with Pei Yi attaching great importance to that child, how could that child disappear without a trace?
