Difficulty in traveling is not in the water or in the mountains, but only in the human relationship.

Ye Yueshan endured the horror of hiding in the coffin, and also endured the grievance of living under the fence and being a slave.However, she never thought about it—that man who was handsome, funny, and often gave her some small favors, actually had a malicious intention behind him.

The matter started from the day when the servant of the Qin family was beaten with a sack.

The servant was beaten and carried back to the Qin Mansion bloody, and died not long after.The corpse was left in the backyard, and the faces of the servants were all ashen in fright.

Then Qin Yizhao is not confused, he understands that the gang of ghosts and witch doctors are indeed causing trouble, not to mention the fact that he monopolizes medicinal materials by relying on the leader of Yaowangyuan.If this trouble breaks out, my family will definitely become the target of public criticism.

So he made a decisive decision and ordered his family to pack up overnight and hide in the other pavilion in the mountains.

Ye Yueshan originally thought that she could also go up the mountain with the Qin family, but things backfired—Qin Yizhao and his wife discussed in private for a while, but said that Ye Yueshan was a fugitive from the court, and continuing to follow them would only make her crime worse, and ordered Ye Yueshan to leave immediately.

Ye Yueshan was not surprised by this expulsion.Only now that Liuquan City is about to be in chaos, it's really inconvenient for her to be alone, and with this departure, she has cut off communication with Zuo Lan.

On the contrary, Zuo Lan once said that his master had a friend in the Liuquan Palace, and he might be able to rely on him temporarily—but then again, is the Liuquan Palace a place where ordinary people can come and go freely?If it aroused suspicion and was sent to the yamen, it would be implicated along with Zuo Lan.

Thinking of this, she begged her uncle and aunt to give her some more time and wait until she has a place to stay before driving her away.

However, in the face of the catastrophe, who is willing to care about her life and death as a powerless and weak woman?If the two sides are in a stalemate, the Qin family simply throws her into the well, wouldn't it be even more surreptitious!

The situation is stronger than others, Ye Yueshan is single and weak, and her hard work is fruitless, so she can only bow her head and accept her fate.

Just at this juncture, the prince who had frequent contacts with the Qin family suddenly came to pay a visit and extended a helping hand to Ye Yueshan.

Ye Yueshan left Qin's house with Prince Wang, and lived in his house for a few days.The cost of food and clothing is excellent, and it is obvious that she is not treated as an ordinary maid.

Ye Yueshan originally thought that the prince was after her, so she was sweet and grateful in her heart.After going back and forth, even with the idea of ​​"entrusting her for life", she also revealed her life experience to the prince.

Two days later, on the second night of the chaos in Liuquan City, Prince Wang wanted to go out with his family to seek refuge—this time, he brought Ye Yueshan with him.

According to Mr. Wang, this evacuation can be as short as a few days or as long as more than a month. In short, sooner or later, he will return to Liuquan City.But just in case, Ye Yueshan still left a token and a message with the gatekeeper of the Wang family.

But she didn't expect that the "refuge" that the prince said was a cover. After leaving Liuquan City, she was taken back to Zhaojing and replaced with a reward for meritorious deeds.

Here, she turned back into "the daughter of Ye Kaiquan, the former envoy of Dushui", that Ye Yueshan who was supposed to be a maid in the palace.After entering the palace, it happened that the envoy of flowers and birds returned to Beijing again, so he followed a group of newly selected court ladies into the training hall.

After explaining her experience, Ye Yueshan looked at Lu You again, quietly waiting for him to confess.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Lu You can no longer find any words of deceit.He had no choice but to bite the bullet, pick out the facts that had to be confessed over the years, and tell them the hard way.

In the grove, the moonlight was dim, swallowing up all the strange colors.Lu You couldn't see the expression on Ye Yueshan's face clearly, but he seemed to be able to hear each other's slow and heavy breathing.

As if tens of thousands of years had passed in the unbearable silence, he finally heard Ye Yueshan choke up, and asked through gritted teeth: "So... you are now in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Lu You was extremely ashamed, with waves of bitterness surging in his chest, he couldn't even speak, and could only nod vigorously.

"You, you—" Ye Yueshan's voice trembled with extreme horror.

The figure in the darkness swayed from side to side a few times, and Lu You instinctively wanted to step forward to help her, but just as she touched her wrist, she was slapped away in disgust.

Caught off guard, Lu You staggered two steps, and bumped into the rockery with his lower back.The intense pain made him frown, but he only cared about the person in front of him.

"sister……"

Ye Yueshan didn't seem to hear.She was motionless, stiff as a lifeless rock.

Lu You could not bear this silent condemnation.He whispered softly, and tried to approach Ye Yueshan again.But this time, he heard a clear rejection.

"……do not come!"

As if a gap suddenly opened in front of him, Lu You stopped sadly, and said in distress: "Sister, Dad didn't want to recognize me as a son before he was alive. Could it be... now even you want to despise me?"

"...I despise you? Obviously you abandoned yourself..."

Ye Yueshan murmured back and asked: "Why did you do such a lowly and shameless thing? Why do you want to forcefully turn yourself into a mutilated, half-human, ghost-like thing?!"

People or people, ghosts or ghosts?

Lu You felt dizzy, he slowly covered his chest with his hand, swayed on the spot twice, but finally managed to stabilize his figure.

"Yes, sister... now my body is indeed incomplete. But... do those so-called healthy people really lack everything?"

He took a deep breath, feeling the freezing cold of the night quickly invade his body, and then smiled bitterly.

"Our father has a family, a house, and both sons and daughters. But he... just feels that he lacks fame and fame, so that he is used by others, and finally ruins his life and his wife's life. Let me ask you... is he healthy? We My uncle, with a wealth of wealth, is safe and successful, but why did he also become a prisoner... And the prince, is he a healthy person? Yes... I gave up a healthy body, and what did they give up? ? You say I'm humble and shameless, then they... what are they?"

He said so many words in one breath, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was trembling all over.

The loneliness and hardships I have experienced alone over the years, the double pain and suffering both physically and mentally, and the grievances that my relatives did not understand... At this moment, two lines of uncontrollable tears fell down my eyes.

"...I'm just... I'm just trying my best to make our future easier..."

He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, his knees were weak, and he fell to his knees on the cold and hard ground with a plop.

Almost at the same time, he heard a rush of footsteps in his ears, and then his trembling body was tightly embraced into a thin but warm embrace.

Seeing each other is like not seeing each other, how can it be ruthless to be affectionate.

In the middle of the night in the palace, there is cold smoke from decaying grass.The two siblings hugged each other and cried silently.
