In the depths of the long night, there is never a shortage of sleepless people.

Si Yutong paced around the Bai Mansion. The mansion was very large, but not many people. She lived there for a few days, and finally got acquainted with the internal and external structure.The servants in the mansion were very polite to her, allowing her to move around without stopping her, so whenever it was difficult to sleep, she would take a walk in the empty mansion.

In early spring, the air is filled with cold mist, which condenses into frost in the middle of the night, spreading the dampness everywhere.

This kind of night is not suitable for going out. There is a fire in her room, and the warm fire is jumping, waiting for her care, but she turns around and goes out the door.

She chooses to be cold, because cold makes one sober.

She had to be like this, Bai Mansion is not Tianshui Gang, and Lord Bai Hou is not Fang Shiping, they will treat her as a family member regardless of gain or loss.Fang Shiping had already died in Yunmengze, and like many people who had sheltered her, she was left alone to sail in the night.

Her heart was in turmoil, and the fact that Lu Zhengqiu confessed a few days ago still shocked her unceasingly.An ally who was in trouble suddenly became an enemy who killed his father and family. Even if he was as calm as her, he was thrown into disarray.

The world is small, dark and boundless, and she is still celibate all the way.

She can't afford to fail, so she has to stay sober.

She walked slowly, unknowingly approaching Lord Bo's dormitory.

The yard is very quiet, and you can vaguely see the flames jumping on the window.

The flame flickered, the door was pulled open, and two people walked out of it one by one.

It was Bai Yunfeng, followed by a maid who looked no more than ten years old.

The two walked very lightly, deliberately lowering the sound of their footsteps, apparently for fear of disturbing the people resting in the room.

Bai Yunfeng had a sad face and sighed repeatedly.

The maid looked at him, turned her bright eyes, and said, "Young master, don't worry, as long as the madam comes back, the master's condition will definitely improve."

"Well," Bai Yunfeng responded, but quickly frowned, and muttered to himself, "It's not easy."

The maid said from the side: "His Royal Highness will help us, who dares to disobey the words of the prince?"

Bai Yunfeng sighed: "Oh, children, don't talk nonsense."

"Oh..." The maid lowered her head and pouted for a while, seeing that Bai Yunfeng was still silent, she opened her mouth and said, "Master's love for his wife is really touching, just...just like the young master also loved Mrs. Princess..."

Bai Yunfeng turned to her suddenly, with a startled look on his face.

The little girl hurriedly changed her words: "Oh, I should not talk nonsense, how can this be compared, young master, please don't take it to heart, I... I will take my leave first."

She didn't dare to raise her eyes, and took a few steps in a panic, just staring at the ground, not wanting to crash into Si Yutong's arms.

Si Yutong didn't intend to show up at first, and hid in the shadows on the side of the wall. After being hit by her like this, she could only show up.

The maid raised her head and saw the prince's face suddenly, she turned pale with fright, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I...I..."

Si Yutong smiled lightly and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Highness doesn't eat people."

The little girl's face was flushed red, Si Yutong saw it, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her, "Okay, you go to rest first."

The maid nodded, and stepped aside timidly, still looking at her from the corner of her eye.

As usual, she could see clearly, but pretended not to notice, and cast her gaze forward.

Ever since she moved into the Bai Mansion, she has become the focus of attention, and her every move is watched by others. Every day, people cast curious eyes on her,

In the Ming Dynasty, she will go to the school grounds to inspect the defenders. At that time, all eyes in the army will be fixed on her.

What people see is not her, but her deceased emperor brother.

She has honed her cross-dressing skills for a long time. When she pretends to be a man, not only her appearance and voice, but also her manners and manners are also imitated vividly, which is no different from that of a man.Over the years, she has risked herself, and with this unique skill, she has never been exposed once.

However, every time I look at my voice and appearance in the mirror, no matter how perfect the disguise is, it still cannot overcome the fear deep in my heart.

Under the colorful skin, she is still just a young woman.

At this moment, the former sweetheart was standing in front of her.

Bai Yunfeng's shoulders were slightly slumped, his steps were heavy, and he looked extremely haggard.His forehead is wider than ordinary people's, and his eyebrows are sharper than ordinary people's, so the sorrow he shows when he frowns is also more obvious than ordinary people's.

Si Yutong saw it clearly from a few feet away, and felt sorry for him, wishing to smooth out the wrinkles between those eyebrows with his fingers.

But she can't.

She could only stand where she was, pretending to be relaxed and said, "If you can't sleep, how about I have a few drinks with you?"

Bai Yunfeng raised his eyebrows, then lowered them quickly, shook his head and said: "Although I also want to have a drink, but you have to go to the military parade on the school grounds tomorrow, and you have to get enough energy tonight, so you can't delay important things for me."

Si Yutong said, "It's true."

Bai Yunfeng let out a long sigh: "Oh, now that we've all grown up, we can no longer do as we used to."

Si Yutong raised the corner of her mouth: "That's not necessarily true, I wonder if there is good tea in your residence?"

Bai Yunfeng's eyes brightened: "Yes, Liangzhou's famous fried green tea is light and fragrant, with a sweet aftertaste, perfect for evening drinking."

Si Yutong nodded and said, "Since you can't indulge in drinking, it's okay to have a few cups of green tea."

Bai Yunfeng said happily: "Then go to my room, I still have something, I just give it to you."

"Let's go."

The two walked side by side, talking about the current situation all the way.

In the past few days, the news of the prince's appearance has spread all over Shenzhou. Master Bai followed suit, sent a messenger to present a memorial, and volunteered to send troops to escort the prince back to the capital.

This memorial seems simple, but it is an effective temptation.

Everyone knows that Emperor Yujian is old and weak, and has ignored state affairs for many years, and the government has always been in the hands of King Yuchang.

But King Chang's ability to hold a high position was originally due to the death of the prince. Now the prince's orphan is still alive, and he is still a young man. Just one name is enough to shake his position.

Lord Baihou's memorial was to test King Chang's attitude. If King Chang agreed, that would be fine, but if he denied it with excuses, it would just expose his wolfish ambition.

The memorandum has been sent out, and now we can only wait for an answer, so Si Yutong took the initiative to review the defenders, hoping to consolidate the forces around him before the storm came.

The review is scheduled for tomorrow, and tonight, she can still take a break from her busy schedule and have a drink with Bai Yunfeng for a while.

The aroma of the roasted green tea is strong, wafting out of the cup, soon filling the room.

Bai Yunfeng's room was empty.

The emptiness is not out of contempt, on the contrary, every piece of furnishings is carefully selected and carefully placed.But beyond the essential, there was little embellishment in the room.Flowers, bonsai, jade ornaments, and wood carvings that ordinary people like are all absent here, and even the wardrobe is half taken up by books, leaving only half of the wall to store clothes.

While sipping tea, Si Yutong indulged her eyes to wander around, looked around and said, "After talking about important matters, why don't you come and talk about family matters."

Bai Yunfeng was puzzled: "Family matters? Are you talking about father?"

"I'm talking about you," Si Yutong smiled lightly, "Judging from the appearance of your room, you don't have any beautiful women around you."

Bai Yunfeng was taken aback for a moment, and quickly picked up the words, showing a bit of embarrassment: "Unfortunately, I only have the name of a son, but I have learned the way of war. Make fun of me."

Si Yutong didn't tease him, but just looked at him with bright eyes.

She vaguely remembered that the young boy back then was full of enthusiasm, got up from the muddy school field, straightened his dirty shoulders, and vowed to express his dream of a general in his heart.

In the past few days, she has heard many praises from the young master of the Bai family in Jiangyu City - filial piety to the father, loyalty to the master, sympathy to the subordinates, respect to the brothers.

The boy back then finally became what he expected, except for one thing——

——There is no beautiful woman by my side.

Si Yutong put down the teacup and comforted him, "It's not that there is no time, it's just that the time has not come yet."

Bai Yunfeng lowered his eyes and responded with a low smile, but immediately raised his head and said: "By the way, brother, I have a gift for you. I planned to take it to the school grounds tomorrow morning, but you just came today, so I will give it to you first." You."

As he said that, he walked quickly to the wall, took out something from the box, and presented it to the other party.
