After eating, the cups and plates have been removed.You Chan saw Lian Yue's hesitant appearance several times, and knew that she had something to say, but the maids who were waiting on the side were unable to speak.

"Let's all go down! Tell the back kitchen to prepare more hot water." You Chan rushed down and waved at the people, and the women and girls in the dining room bowed slightly and bowed, and they all retreated as ordered. "Your Majesty has something to say, but it's okay to say it." You Chan spread her hands at Lianyue and made a gesture of invitation.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Lian Yue said: "The chief of the guard has no way to repay Lian Yue's great kindness in this life. I will leave this place tomorrow. I am afraid that you will have to go out on business early in the morning, and there will be no time to say goodbye."

say goodbye?You Chan's heart skipped a beat. "Where is the lady going?"

Lian Yue faltered and refused to say that it would be better if no one knew her whereabouts, not because she didn't believe Chief You Si Wei, but because she was afraid that Chief You Si Wei would be embarrassed when he was questioned by Miss Xiao after he knew about it.

Seeing that Lian Yue refused to speak, You Chan didn't ask any more, but calmly said: "No matter who is going to kill the empress, that person dares to send so many people into the princess mansion to assassinate, it is clear that he dares to fight the current emperor. No matter where your empress plans to go, it will not be safer than staying in my house."

Alai on the side also persuaded Lianyue: "The rumors are tight these few days, so it's better for your mother to stay for a few days."

"But I'm afraid I'll hurt you." Lian Yue couldn't bear it. "Who else is going to kill me? What if she takes it out on you for my sake?"

Is it because you are afraid of hurting yourself?You Chan looked at Lian Yue who was frowning slightly under the candlelight from a distance, her heart seemed to be scratched slightly by something. "Your Majesty has already implicated the humble official. When you asked me to take you out of the princess mansion. If you leave here and be discovered by Princess Jinyang's people, the empress may be fine, but the princess will definitely not let go of the humble official who 'took you away'." .If you are discovered by someone else, then both of us will die."

Knowing that neither Princess Jinyang nor Miss Shen's family can do anything to her, in order to keep her, You Chan described the situation as critical, and even threatened: "It's not just a lowly job. Everyone in the You family may be buried with the empress !"

Lian Yue was not bluffed, her mind was still clear. "But if I'm found in your mansion, wouldn't that be solid evidence? If I'm found elsewhere, you can kill me and say that I was frightened by the assassin and sneaked out of the princess mansion."

"The west mansion has no way to the outside world, there is only one road to the east mansion. The courtyard wall is so high, how can the empress escape without light work? Besides, there is a secret road leading to the outside of the city in my mansion, so someone really came here to search for it. You don't have to be afraid, Empress."

As a captain who protects the country from life to death, he has many enemies. He is afraid that someone will come to seek revenge. The women and girls in the house will be implicated. When You Chan moved here, he ordered someone to open a secret passage to the outside of the city. .But it is secretly said that only Granny Wang knows about this, in order to keep Lian Yue, You Chan even said this.

Fortunately, Lian Yue didn't mention the matter of leaving after thinking for a while, but she still seemed hesitant to speak.

You Chan had no choice but to ask: "Your Majesty, you don't need to see outsiders, just ask whatever you want." You Chan never liked people who were twitchy, if it was someone else, she might not even have the patience to ask questions, but she was willing to be patient with Lian Yue Temper, even with an impatient look on his face.

"I want to ask you, did the princess look for me after I left?" After getting out of danger, Lian Yue began to worry about Jin Yang.Jin Yang must be worried that something bad happened to her, right?The entangled mood came back again, hoping that Jinyang would let her go and start a new life, but also hoped that Jinyang would find her.

Lian Yue was even thinking about whether to go back or not. Leaving was an impulsive act. As long as she said that she was kidnapped by gangsters and escaped by chance, she could explain it to the princess without involving Chief You Si Wei.But do you really want to go back to the days of precarity and fear?She loves Jinyang, but she wants to save her life and love Jinyang for a long time. As for whether she can be with him every day or not, it's not that important.

Hu Guowei not only has to investigate and arrest people for the emperor, but also has the duty of interrogation.How could You Chan not know what Lian Yue was thinking, but still said truthfully: "Princess Jinyang searched all over the Princess Mansion before I left, as for whether I searched again after that, I will only find out when I inquire tomorrow. "

You Chan was a little lost, Lian Yue either wanted to go away alone, or wanted to go back to Princess Jinyang, but she refused to stay with her.Thinking about it, the two have dealt with each other a few times, and Lian Yue's willingness to ask her for help is a sign of trust in herself.

After sending Lianyue to rest, You Chan called Alai into the room for questioning. She had been puzzled for a long time, and she heard from Granny Wang that Alai had lived here for a while, and that Lianyue sent her here some time ago.Suddenly sending Alai, who is a personal servant and treats her like a younger sister, here, something must have happened in the princess mansion.

During the days when Alai was in Youfu, he was treated as a distinguished guest, and he could sleep when he was tired and wanted to sleep, so although it was already deep, the little girl was not very sleepy.

"Master You Division..." Alai stood by the door and asked, "Grandma said you were looking for me."

You Chan signaled Alai to close the door, and then said in a low voice: "I heard that concubine Ji brought you here a few days ago. Did something happen to Princess Jinyang's residence?"

Although Alai trusts You Chan in every possible way, he dared not answer when he said that the affairs in Princess Lianyue's mansion would not be disclosed to the outside world.

Alai's silence made You Chan firmly believe in her own judgment. The usually reticent You Chan increased her conversation volume when persuading Lian Yue and interrogating A Lai: "You were there at dinner, I believe you can hear it, Ji The concubine still has thoughts about going back to Princess Jinyang. Do you think I should stop the concubine?"

Alai bit his lower lip and still did not answer, but his frown was full of worry.Princess Jinyang has a bad temper and has many enemies, it would be a disaster if her mother really got upset and went back.But once the empress has moved her mind, she is very young and young, even if she persuades her, it will be useless.While Alai was thinking, he raised his head and looked at You Chan. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how Chief Guard You took care of her and his wife. Alai was afraid of Princess Jinyang, but respected and trusted You Chan.

"His Royal Highness has cleaned up all the nobles living in the West Mansion...even the Empress. I am afraid that one day Her Royal Highness will not like my empress, and will kill her. The empress is afraid that I will be implicated and send me here. At your house, I advised her not to go back at that time, but she wanted to stay with the princess even if she didn’t want her life. Let her go back again." Alai nervously tugged at his sleeves and explained everything.

You Chan listened carefully, she didn't understand what was wrong with Princess Jinyang to make trouble with people from Xifu.But it's none of her business, You Chan suddenly had an idea in her heart, she said to Alai: "I met my empress once, and I can't bear to see her in danger. But I still need your help to keep my empress. "

Alai nodded solemnly.As long as she can protect Empress Ji, she is willing to go through fire and water.

The lights in Youfu were extinguished one by one, and Alai held up the lantern and went to Lianyue's room. Seeing that Alai hadn't returned for a long time, the exhausted Lianyue fell asleep first after being frightened.Alai put the lantern at the door, sneaked into the house in the dark, and took away the clothes that Lian Yue had changed.

You Chan took Lian Yue's clothes and went out overnight.

***

As soon as Lianyue disappeared, Lingyang, who was worried that her mother would have no one to take care of her, moved into Xifu.Someone from Jinyang asked her to go to Dongfu to talk, and most of her resentment towards Jinyang dissipated the moment she saw Jinyang.

The young girl who was still somewhat mellow had become so skinny in the past few days that her every gesture was weak and feeble, as if she still had a breath of thin gossamer, but that thread of vitality would be cut off at any time.

"I heard that Ri Lianyue was with her sister that day..." Jin Yang pointed to the chair beside him, asking Ling Yang to sit down and talk.

Mentioning Lian Yue, who had been missing for many days, Ling Yang couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "When I went to see my mother, Lianyue led the way. Later, someone came and said that my sister was injured, so Lianyue went to the East Mansion alone. Presumably, she was robbed by gangsters on the way."

Jin Yang's heart twitched heavily, that day was too chaotic, after an accident at the banquet, all the guardians of the mansion rushed to the East Mansion, and the section of road where the East Mansion and the West Mansion intersected became an unguarded place.Jin Yang has asked all the people in the mansion these days, including You Chan who went to the West Mansion that day, and everyone said that they have never seen Lian Yue.

"Is there still no whereabouts?" Lingyang asked cautiously seeing that Jinyang was losing his mind again.Others may not know, but she has long known the relationship between Jin Yang and Lian Yue.Not to mention Jinyang, even she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

Jin Yang shook his head feebly.What she hates most about herself is that she knows who the murderer is, but because of her brother and the overall situation, she has nothing to do with Shen Xiao.Maybe everything is fate!She is destined not to be able to catch Lianyue.

In early summer, the sun shines into the hall, Jin Yang sits in a chair with a hunched and thin body, raises his head and squints at the dazzling Wu Yang.She felt that her strength was slowly being drained away, and her body was slowly disappearing.After the deep obsession with Lian Yue was cut off, Jin Yang felt that living any longer was nothing more than that.

But she didn't even have the strength to die, so she had to live indiscriminately.

"I'm so tired." Jin Yang said suddenly, "Lian Hua, help me to rest!"

Seeing that Jinyang was so weak, Lingyang couldn't bear to question what Jinyang had done to Empress Yide, and returned to the West Mansion with a sigh.

Jinyang was supported by Lianhua back to the room, and fell into a dark sleep.Waking up suddenly at dusk, she had another nightmare, but this time it was different from the past.

She dreamed that Lianyue was swept away by the torrent, and she wanted to jump into the water to save others, but she was held tightly by Shen Xiao behind her.Shen Xiao hugged her from behind, leaned on her shoulder and said coldly: "Don't save me. I pushed the person down." She turned her head in astonishment, facing Shen Xiao's smirking face, and was frightened woke up.

Not long after Lingyang returned to the West Mansion, an imperial decree came from the palace.

Empress Yide said she was ill and did not go to receive the order, so she sat on the bed worriedly and listened to the movement outside.Not long after, Lingyang and Xu Bin came in with the imperial decree, Xu Pin was expressionless, and Lingyang frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong." Concubine Xu said first.

The queen looked at her daughter Lingyang in puzzlement. Lingyang presented the imperial decree to her mother with both hands, and said indifferently: "The emperor's uncle decreed that I should make peace with the Dalin of the Hene clan."

"Is the date fixed?" Queen Yide unfolded the edict, glanced at her eyes, and said with some melancholy: "Next month?" Although she told Lingyang, the only way to preserve her mother's family is to marry and go to a foreign country.But the He Nie tribe lives in a barren land, and has never been in harmony with the Universiade. Empress Yide originally wanted her daughter Lingyang to marry to a small, wealthy neighboring country.If she married into the He Nie clan, she would be unaccustomed to the environment, and I'm afraid she would suffer a lot of grievances.

"People from the palace said that the He Nie tribe wanted a truce, and suggested that their big ranch be married to my imperial princess. The emperor agreed to save the people from labor, money, and life." Lingyang didn't show any joy. She doesn't know people, is it old or young?Is it tall or short?Is it fat or thin?Elegant or rough?Vicious or kind?

Although the daughter's family talks about marriage are the orders of the parents and the matchmaker's words, but Lingyang, who was born in the royal family and her mother is a queen, thought since she was a child that she could choose a husband as she wished to be her son-in-law when she grew up.She thought she was different from other women, she thought she was lucky enough to find true love with the power of the whole country.

"He is straightforward, it's not that his daughter doesn't feel bad. If he wants to change Jinyang, see if he is willing to part with it!" Empress Yide was full of worries, but knowing that she was helpless, she turned her head and wiped tears behind Xu Bin and Lingyang's back.

Lingyang himself was also full of worries, but he couldn't bear his mother's worries, so he persuaded: "You don't have to worry. After I marry Dalin, I can take advantage of my husband's family to protect my grandfather and you."

Concubine Xu, who was standing quietly at the side, also said to the queen: "In my opinion, this matter is not so bad. Your empress forgot, that He Nie tribe's housekeeper, when you and I hosted a banquet for foreign envoys a few years ago at the first emperor. I have seen it."

The queen was still puzzled, it was true that the late emperor hosted a banquet for the foreign envoys, but Dalin of the Hene tribe was not present at that time, and it was the youngest son of Dayun who had just grown up to discuss matters in the Universiade.Could it be... the queen's heart finally became clearer: "Which child will succeed after the death of the boss?"

The harsh weather and harsh conditions will always be overcome with Lingyang's stamina. Empress Yide is most worried about her daughter's entrustment to others.She had met the youngest son of the late Dalin back then, and although they had only met each other for a few words, she gave the impression that he was a gentle and reliable child who was knowledgeable about books and etiquette.

After seeing the mother and Xu Bin, they were all full of praise when they mentioned the big house in their youth, and Lingyang, who felt that the future was gloomy, also raised some expectations.In fact, she had to marry no matter what, whether it was to protect her mother's mother's family, or because of the pressure from the whole country.It's just that in this unavoidable marriage, if one is lucky enough to meet a Shang Ke person, it will be a great surprise.

Concubine Xu said again: "The father-in-law who delivered the decree also said that in a few days the grandma will come to Beijing to propose marriage in person, and it is best for the princess to enter the palace early to live in preparation for the marriage."

Empress Yide didn't expect her daughter to move in to live with her, and she was about to marry far away. She took Lingyang's hand reluctantly and said, "I'm always worried that Jinyang will be bad for you when you live here. I heard that Ji After the concubine disappeared, the girl became more moody, so it's good for you to leave here. It's just that your father is gone, and the queen mother can't help you, and you will have to rely on yourself from now on."
