Baishou loses Shaohua

Yu Chenglie pushed open the gate of Ziwei Palace and couldn't help frowning slightly. Although he knew that the concubine who was neglected and grounded would not be very popular, the weedy and desolate appearance of Ziwei Palace still made him feel a little chilled.I still remember that before he left the palace, Concubine Liu, as the birth mother of His Highness the Third Highness, is also the favorite concubine of His Majesty, and Concubine Liu is gentle and kind, and those little concubines and servants are not flattering. Do not know where scattered to go.

The hearts of the people in this deep palace are indeed so cold.

Yu Chenglie stepped on the weeds growing between the stone cracks and walked in.He stepped up the steps, stretched out his hand and pushed open the already mottled red-painted wooden door.

"Squeak..." As the door was pushed open, a ray of light fell on the ground, illuminating the thick dust clearly.As soon as Yu Chenglie stepped into the room, he felt a chill, as if he was not popular at all.

The curtains in the room were discolored, hanging on the ground like spider webs blown by the wind.Yu Chenglie lifted the curtain lightly, and walked towards the bed in his impression. There was a faint figure in front of the bed.Lifting the last curtain, Yu Chenglie didn't dare to go forward again.

There was a person kneeling on the ground in front of the bed, with his head buried between his arms above the bed, his long hair falling down his back to the ground, black mixed with mottled gray.The begonia red dress was spread lifelessly on the floor, the hand exposed from the cuff of the bed was pale and thin like a branch, but the nails dyed by impatiens were like blood dripping, blooming on the paleness and shockingly.

As if hearing the sound behind her, the person trembled and slowly raised her head. Her movements were extremely slow, as if her frail body couldn't bear the clothes.She turned her head slowly, but couldn't help but make Yu Chenglie take half a step back.

The beautiful and charming face in my memory was like a failed flower at this moment, so pale that it was shocking.A strand of gray hair hangs down half of the face, and on the thin face, only a pair of big eyes hang on it, like two pools of stagnant water.

"Liu..." Before Yu Chenglie could say the word "mother concubine", Concubine Liu stood up suddenly, as if she was a dying person, she stepped forward and threw herself on Yu Chenglie.Yu Chenglie was shocked, but did not dare to move. Concubine Liu was so thin that only her bones were left, as if she would fall apart with a light push.

Probably because of the sudden violent movement, Concubine Liu leaned on Yu Chenglie for a long time to catch her breath. She raised her head, and there was some brilliance in her eyes that were originally stagnant. She looked at Yu Chenglie lovingly, with a pair of The thin hands tremblingly caressed Yu Chenglie's face.

"Jue'er..." She murmured softly, with a smile on her pale face, with some satisfaction, "The concubine mother knows...they lied to me. How could my Jue'er die?"

"Mother Concubine..." Yu Chenglie sighed secretly in his heart, but he couldn't bear to expose all this. Perhaps Yu Chengjue's still alive was the only thing Concubine Liu thought about.

"Quick... come and sit." Concubine Liu happily took Yu Chenglie's hand to the side of the bed. The quilt on the bed hadn't been cleaned for an unknown period of time, and the original color could not even be seen. Concubine Liu was the only one in the room The begonia red on the body is the only bright color.Yu Chenglie still remembered that this dress was worn by Concubine Liu when she received the ceremony on the day she was promoted to concubine.At that time, Yu Chengjue was standing beside her, still a nine-year-old child, with a soft smile on his face.He was 13 years old that year, and he brought eight-year-old Yu Chenglin to congratulate him. Concubine Liu left a group of people and dragged them into the house, and gave them fresh melons and fruits brought by her mother's family from outside the Great Wall.At that time, Yu Chenglin rubbed the juice all over his face, Concubine Liu took out her handkerchief, knelt down and wiped it gently for him.

Later, on the way back to Jinyang Palace after leaving Ziwei Palace, Yu Chenglin took his hand and asked, "Second brother, if my concubine mother is still here, will she look like Concubine Liu?"

Concubine Liu pulled Yu Chenglie to sit down, looked straight at Yu Chenglie, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Mother Concubine..." Yu Chenglie wanted to say something to break the silence, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to continue.

"Look... Concubine Mu was only happy, but she forgot to ask someone to bring you snacks." Concubine Liu smiled and called for someone, but there was no response.

"Concubine Mother, I just had dinner with Emperor Father before I came here, so I don't want to eat." Yu Chenglie hurriedly pulled Concubine Liu back, looking around at the desolation and desolation, he couldn't help feeling a little sad for the smile on Concubine Liu's face.

"That's good or bad." Concubine Liu nodded, "You tend to accumulate food since you were young, so you can't eat too much."

"Now that your father is busy with state affairs, you should be more filial, and remind him to take care of his body when he eats and dresses." Concubine Liu took Yu Chenglie's hand and told him bit by bit, "You are the same, Concubine Mother." I don't expect you to have much future, as long as you are safe and healthy."

"Yes, concubine mother. My son has written it down." Yu Chenglie nodded.

"And your grandfather... Now that he is retiring from his old age and returning to his hometown, he finally doesn't have to work hard anymore, and he should think about happiness. A daughter like mother concubine can't be filial to her knees, so she can only work hard for your uncle. The year before last, your aunt also Let me be your matchmaker for Lian Jun’s cousin, she was still young at the time and I told you to delay, but now it’s almost the same, so you should pay attention to it.”

"I know, mother and concubine." Yu Chenglie responded.He didn't know whether to say he was lucky or pitiful, the Liu family participated in the rebellion of the Third Highness Yu Chengjue, asked to beheaded, asked to beheaded, and betrothed to be betrothed, and Concubine Liu was grounded in this Ziwei Palace without knowing anything.

"Mother and concubine, my father wants my son to accompany me to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers in the afternoon." Yu Chenglie couldn't stay here any longer, so he asked to leave in a hurry.

Concubine Liu had some reluctance on her face, but she still nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go quickly."

"My son... I will come to see my concubine mother in a few days." Yu Chenglie stood up.

"Okay, okay." Concubine Liu happily followed Yu Chenglie to see him out, "Next time you come over, Concubine Mother will make you your favorite snacks."

"Farewell, son." Yu Chenglie nodded.

"Jue'er..." Concubine Liu seemed to have remembered something, and stopped Yu Chenglie again.

Yu Chenglie turned around and listened to what Concubine Liu was going to tell him.

"Thank you Lin'er for Concubine Mother." Concubine Liu smiled, "He didn't lie to me."

Yu Chenglie was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that the lie that Yu Chengjue and the Liu family were still there should be Yu Chenglin's kind deception to her, so he nodded, "I have written it down."

On the way out of Ziwei Palace, Yu Chenglie's heart was heavy.He still can't figure out why Yu Cheng decided to rebel. In his impression, his third brother has always been kind and weak, and he can't even bear to crush an ant to death. What about the heart to seize the position?

When Yu Chenglie returned to Yuexi Palace, Luoyan was already waiting there.

"Your Highness." Luo Yan knelt down on one knee, and held the letter in front of Yu Chenglie with both hands.

"Get up." Yu Chenglie took the letter, but was not in a hurry to open it, "Is this trip going smoothly?"

"Yes." Luo Yan replied.

"Yeah." Yu Chenglie nodded, "Then you step back first."

"Your Highness. Young Master Ye asked his subordinates to bring a word to His Highness."

"You said."

"Young Master Ye said that for the sake of being friends with His Highness for many years, His Highness must agree to the request in his letter. He will go through fire and water for His Highness."

After listening to Luo Yan's words, Yu Chenglie tore open the letter. He took a rough look at it, and then nodded towards Luo Yan: "I see, you step back. Tell Ming, everything is going according to plan."

"Yes, this subordinate will leave." Luo Yan saluted and withdrew.

After Luo Yan left, Yu Chenglie went into the inner room. He sat at the desk and read Ye Nanqing's letter carefully.Ye Nanqing's request was as he expected, it was to protect Yun Xin and the Ye family.What he cared more about was the news about Ji Yinghan that Ye Nanqing relied on Yun Xin to find out for him.

Ji Yinghan returned to Weimen a few months ago, which at least shows that he is safe now.On the surface, Ming is listening to Yu Chenglie's orders, but in fact his master is still Yu Chongxiu, so Yu Chenglie has to be careful about his actions.Ming told him that Yu Chongxiu had calculated based on the time when Chu Weiqing appeared on the night of the rebellion that year, Weimen should be near Li'an, but after so many years of investigation, he never found the real location of Weimen.Chu Weiqing is very cautious, and his subordinates are even more loyal and would rather die than surrender.Every time a clue is found, it will be interrupted because the captured person commits suicide or dies on the way to torture.

In retrospect, it has been half a year since he and Ji Yinghan separated near Gushui Town, but sometimes when I think about it, the separation seems to be still in sight, those eyes seem to be so close to that person, how many times have I woke up in the middle of the night? In a daze, he stretched out his hand to search, but there was no one beside him. He opened his eyes, looked at the empty bed beside him, and then opened his eyes until dawn.Yu Chenglie looked at the guqin placed aside, and he stretched out his hand to gently brush over the strings, the cold touch was like Ji Yinghan's icy fingertips.Yu Chenglie didn't know if Ji Yinghan had been the same as him in the past six months.

He untied the flute around his waist and placed it beside the qin. The white jade pendant was still stained with his body temperature. He remembered that day on the boat, Ji Yinghan was distracted and injured just because he saw the jade pendant. At that moment, he clearly saw the pain in his eyes.
