"...Zoran?!"

Ye Yueshan turned her head following the sound, and the moment she saw that it was Lu You, her calm expression suddenly became panicked.

"What are you doing here?!"

She lowered her voice, checked left and right, and then quickly walked in front of Lu You: "The prince will come over soon, you trespassed on the East Palace... you will be found and punished!"

"Don't worry. I am familiar with all the places in the palace."

Lu You said something perfunctory, and then stared closely at Ye Yueshan's stunning face, "How can you sing and dance softly? Did someone teach you on purpose? That Wang... did he let you get close to the crown prince?" ?”

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Ye Yueshan frowned slightly, and turned her head to stare at the closed door not far away: "I think back then, Dad wanted to marry me to the son of the Shaofu and Shaojian, but now, I am married to the prince... Think about it, this Wouldn't it be a better choice?"

"This... how can this be called marriage?!"

Lu You's voice was trembling with displeasure: "You should be carried eight times in a big sedan chair, and the Ming media is marrying home, and then you will be loving and happy, with a full house of children and grandchildren, and live a happy life for the rest of your life. But now...don't say that you are respecting each other like a guest, you should even pay homage to marriage. I can't even do it!"

"Is it really important to pay homage to marriage? Then why are there still people scrambling to send their daughters into this palace?"

Ye Yueshan still looked away, but the corner of her mouth unknowingly pulled out a sneer.

"Isn't it better to be the crown prince's concubine than to be the wife of the scum? If you see me following a mountain villager, you may feel distressed again."

"No...that's not what I meant..."

Lu You was in a hurry, and felt more and more clumsy with his tongue: "You have to understand, the prince just sees another person through you, and the one he really loves is not you..."

"So what? I don't need his heart anyway."

Ye Yueshan was still smiling, and there was no trace of hesitation on her beautiful face.

"We have each experienced a lot of ups and downs in these years. Some fantasies that were too fragile have long been crushed by reality. It's like that night, I was surprised at your change... But later, I figured it out ——If we are entangled in those things that are destined not to come back and not to be obtained, then what power is left to move forward? Every gain must be lost, Zoran, it is you who taught me this truth, if you are in the future Wouldn't the same choice be made in my position?"

"how do I……?!"

Lu You was speechless, shaking his head anxiously from side to side, and finally sighed after a while: "Sister, these... are these your sincere thoughts?"

"This is the most correct decision to be able to live a better life..."

The lamps and candles reflected Ye Yueshan's phoenix eyes, which were radiant and radiant, three points brighter than autumn water.

Lu You stared at these bright and firm eyes, and the shock in his heart had calmed down a lot, but there were still some words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter them quickly.

"The situation in the palace is treacherous and unpredictable. The crown prince had a rift with the empress because of Hu Ji's matter. Now there is Xuan Wang Zhao Yang eyeing him. Today's crown prince may be demoted to a commoner tomorrow...Aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid. Because I'm not alone."

Having said that, Ye Yueshan stretched out her hand and gently held Lu You's cheek.The two siblings pressed their foreheads together and closed their eyes quietly.

"Zoran, I still have you. Just like you will never lose me. We are related by blood, we are one heart... From now on in this Zichen Palace, you will guard me, and I will take care of you You...our secret, no one will know."

At this time, there were impatient footsteps outside the brightly lit palace gate.

Ye's daughter, Yueshan, was enshrined in the East Palace as a scapegoat for Ye Ting, and was granted the title of Liangyuan, living in Linshuang Palace.

And from the second day Ye Yueshan entered the East Palace, Lu You took the initiative to invite Ying, and began to follow Qi Yunchu to attend the routine supervisory meeting of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Although the Sixth Bureau of the Province is nominally only a servant of the royal family, it has almost all the news inside and outside the palace city and under the emperor's seat - the East Palace is naturally no exception.

Lu You originally thought that for a long time to come, all his attention would be focused on the East Palace.However, who would have imagined that in the depths of Zichen Palace, which was hot and humid at the end of summer, a gust of torrential rain was quietly brewing.

On the seventh day of July, summer cicadas cry dryly, sweating through their shirts.News suddenly came from the inner court——Emperor Huiming fell ill, and he might not be able to attend court these days.

The emperor is not hesitant, this is nothing new.

Emperor Huiming was physically weak since he was a child, and his personality was also quite gloomy and gentle.He is in his forties this year, and nearly [-]% of his life has been accompanied by Qihuang day and night.Last autumn, the wind and cold in the Hanliang Hall shook the foundation even more, and thereafter every time the solar terms changed and the cold and warm alternated, there would be bursts.

A few days ago in Liqiu, Emperor Huiming offered sacrifices to Shaohao in the western suburbs, and there was a bit of wind in the open air, and he started coughing dryly on the way back.Following his previous experience, the imperial doctor prescribed some decoctions to nourish yin and moisten the lungs, but there was no improvement; after a few more days, his condition suddenly deteriorated, and he moved from the Zichen Hall to the more secluded Ganlu Hall.

It is no exaggeration to say that the minds of all the people in the palace city are now tied to the Manna Palace; however, there are very few people who really know the movement in the palace.

As early as yesterday afternoon, Qi Yunchu followed Emperor Huiming's oral order and drove out all the low-level eunuchs and court ladies in Ganlu Hall, and only let his confidantes accompany him.All the imperial doctors and important officials who came in and out according to the order were all silent about what they saw and heard in the palace.

Under the secretiveness, there are all kinds of rumors.People who say apoplexy have it, people who are poisoned have it, and what is even more ridiculous is that there is also the saying that evil spirits hit ghosts, which makes people panic and confused for a while.

Although Qi Yunchu has been guarding the Ganlu Palace these days, he still knows the movements in the palace like the palm of his hand.He first ordered Neifei Longwei to conduct a secret investigation, find out the eunuch and court lady who took the lead in telling stories, and let the jailer Yang Ren be severely punished in public.Then it was ordered that gossip should be banned, and those who violated it would be allowed to report, and once confirmed, each would be rewarded and punished.

After two days of rectification, the order returned to normal.Various affairs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are temporarily handed over to Chang Yunu.

Although he didn't need to ask Qi Yunchu for help, Lu You didn't necessarily have a leisurely time—that Xuan Wang Zhao Yang who had been clamoring to disfigure his appearance and chop off his head all day, suddenly couldn't do without him.

The reason is actually very simple.Since the day the emperor dismissed the imperial court, Huiqing Palace became lively again.The high-ranking officials who visited frequently talked about it, and they revealed nothing more than the same meaning——

If the emperor and his elders make a mistake, this world... should be included in the prince's pocket.
