Reborn to the fourth year of Jianyuan

Just when Zhong Qiande was chatting and laughing with Lu Bingyan, the only female favorite of Emperor Wu, Zhu Qiaoxin, who was returning to the Princess Mansion at the moment, checked the list of officials in the fourth year of Jianyuan, and finally found something strange.

He pressed his hand on the book for a while, and waited until he was sure that he could never remember that he had placed a female official named "Chen Yuzhu" in the palace.After looking at the four words "Protect with all my heart" on the back of her name taboo, Zhu Qiaoxin can almost be sure that this woman will know everything she wants to know.

"come--"

Putting the official secret book in his hand on the Huanghuali case table in front of him, Zhu Qiaoxin waited for Yunzheng to rush into the room, but still shouted: "Come here!"

Yun Zheng's hand holding the sword hilt tightened for a moment. At this moment, Yun Xing, the second-class guard of the Princess Mansion, walked in with his head down and knelt down and said in a low voice, "Master?"

"Go and pass on Chen Yuzhu, Kong Mu of the Imperial Academy, and all the information I want to see about Xuanwu Palace's servants Zhongyue Qingfeng."

"promise!"

Yun Xing, who had an ordinary face and never had any extra expressions, stood up and bent back.Just when he was about to turn around, Zhu Qiaoxin warned again: "Don't let other people know."

Yun Xing quickly agreed to go out, and when the study became quiet again.Yun Zheng stepped forward and looked at the official book on Zhu Qiaoxin's case table and murmured softly: "Actually, the princess can ask Yun Zheng directly, whether it is Chen Yuzhu or Yue Qingfeng. Yun Zheng must not dare to hide anything. of."

Looking at the personal bodyguard whom she had trusted since she was a child, Zhu Qiaoxin let out a long sigh, and then completely sank herself on the carved precious chair behind her.

Gently stretching out her index finger and slowly drawing the engraving on the gauntlet, looking at the purple pottery lotus incense burner emitting a faint fragrance in the corner of the study, Zhu Qiaoxin lowered her head and smiled faintly: "You are my valet, you should know me Very deep. You don’t know how many times I woke up suddenly when I was half asleep and half awake in the past year. As long as I wake up, I can only keep my eyes open until dawn, and you should also know.”

"..."

"I remember I asked you how I got the sachet around my waist, but you still said you didn't know!"

The smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, but at the same time Zhu Qiaoxin's eyes were chillingly cold: "Since you don't know anything, why should I rely on you again. No one can lie to me, no one It can make me, Zhu Qiaoxin, toss and turn so restlessly. Without you, Yunzheng, I have so many guards under my command. I don’t believe that I can’t find one who is loyal to me. I must investigate the matter of Yue Qingfeng. It’s mine. I will always hold it in the palm of my hand and put it in front of my eyes, and there is no need for those who bear me and make me unhappy."

He closed his eyes lightly, wanting to explain a thing or two.But when he saw how the princess refused to be thousands of miles away, at the end Yun Zheng could only quietly back away.Now he can only be thankful that he did the matter of going to Yue Qingfeng that day in such a secret that no third person knew about it.

As for Yue Qingfeng, I have been sending people to watch her since the Qixi Qiqiao Festival in the fourth year of Jianyuan.Although it is not possible to fully understand all of her reactions, but based on her original hatred and her forbearance and wit for a whole year.Yun Zheng is confident that even if the princess goes to find her in person, she will never agree to the princess' request as easily as before.Under such circumstances, how the princess will treat her, she can only ask for blessings.

At sunset, Zhu Qiaoxin finally found the person she wanted to wait for and everything she wanted to know.

Gently flipping through Yue Qingfeng's materials, looking at every word written on it.Zhu Qiaoxin gradually developed from the initial glance and page to the point where she didn't dare to pull a word, and didn't dare to miss a word easily.

The rustling sound of papers turning could be heard beside her ears. Chen Yuzhu, who had been kneeling for an hour, lowered her head and became more and more uneasy and nervous.

This is the second time since she entered the palace that she was summoned alone by the eldest princess, and the first time was for Yue Qingfeng who was about to enter the Imperial Academy with her.

But this time, as soon as she entered the room and saw the serious and indifferent expression of the head of the guard, Yun Zheng, she knew what it was for this time.

"Chen Yuzhu?"

The faint voice of her own princess came from above, and Chen Yuzhu got up quickly: "The subordinate is here!"

Putting down the things in her hands with a complicated expression, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly got up and walked towards the kneeling Chen Yuzhu: "Since I have asked you to take care of her wholeheartedly, why is she in the Xuanwu Hall and you are in the Imperial Academy?" .”

Hearing the vague accusation in the eldest princess' tone, Chen Yuzhu quickly raised her head and explained: "My subordinates are grateful for the princess's kindness, and have been working hard since entering the Imperial Academy. I never dared to forget the princess's instructions, but---"

Chen Yuzhu, with her head down, secretly glanced at Yun Zheng, who had been standing to one side, but the other party didn't look at her, but continued to tightly hold the hilt of his sword around his waist.

"Just what?"

Zhu Qiaoxin suddenly smiled and bent down, looking at Her Royal Highness who suddenly brought a smile in front of her.Chen Yuzhu's head was blank for a while, but she quickly said: "It's just that the subordinate was warned by Yue Shizhong not to mention her in front of the princess. She said it was an agreement between the princess and her. She also said that since the princess asked me to take care of her, I have to listen to her."

Yun Zheng, who was standing and looking forward, felt a slight heaving of his chest.

Zhu Qiaoxin was full of disbelief, but at this moment Chen Yuzhu broke the boat and said, "Yue Qingfeng is extremely ruthless, I have been with her for three months. Yuzhu knows everything about her and cares about her, but she never once I have never really trusted Yuzhu. I have been with her for so long, and she has never mentioned Yuefu, her family, friends and sisters."

Zhu Qiaoxin lowered her eyes lightly, thinking of Yue Qingfeng's flying Huang Tengda in the Xuanwu Hall, Chen Yuzhu tried hard to persuade: "Princess, forget about her. I don't know how you and her met, so she must be the one. The subordinate is just I saw that because of you, the princess, she became a palace maid of the Imperial Academy. It was also because of you, the princess, that she was known by His Majesty to be a servant. Now she has worshiped under the name of Lu Bingyan, the most trusted servant of His Majesty, and has been with His Majesty's personal bodyguard. They have a close relationship. Some people even saw her talking and laughing with people like the eunuch Cheng Si, so--"

"Get out!" Standing up abruptly and turning around to stare at the picture of mountains and rivers of the Zhou Dynasty on the wall in front of her, Zhu Qiaoxin gritted her teeth and said, "Get out."

"No, no!"

Responding anxiously to the voice, Chen Yuzhu raised her head and glanced at the man beside her, then retreated immediately.

And just after she hurried out, Zhu Qiaoxin was furious and trembling with hands.He leaned over and took all the things on the desk in front of him.

"Princess!" Yun Zheng stepped forward in surprise.

Knocking off his hand on her right shoulder, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly turned her head to look at him with red eyes: "Why can't I remember why she didn't react at all when she saw me today?"

Sighing softly, Yun Zheng looked down at the mess on the ground and said indifferently: "The princess decided not to marry for her life. She is afraid. She doesn't believe that the princess can win the throne, and she is afraid that following the princess will lead to death. So Before King Ping went to Lingshan to recuperate from his illness, she begged King Ping for Wangyouxiang, and her feelings fell away. At that time, she told King Ping that she only wanted to live in peace and stability for the rest of her life, so she dared not delay the princess. But when the princess forgot On the second day after her arrival, she immediately received the imperial decree to upgrade from the ninth rank to the fourth rank."

Zhu Qiaoxin showed a dazed and unbelievable look, and her heart was sore. Yun Zheng quickly helped her up and slowly moved forward: "The reason why I ordered everyone not to mention her is because I don't want to make the princess sad again. The princess- --"

Zhu Qiaoxin, who had already been supported by him on the chair, slowly raised his head, stroked the hair on Zhu Qiaoxin's forehead, and Yun Zheng whispered: "Chen Yuzhu was arranged by his subordinates to enter the palace, the princess doesn't matter if she doesn't believe it. But what is Yunxing?" Doesn’t the princess know about such a person?”

Calmly picking up the information collected by Yun Xing from the ground, Yun Zheng flipped his eyes lightly and said mockingly: "A woman who only took one year to be related to all the close ministers around Emperor Wu, does the princess still think Is she still that Yue Qingfeng who relies on you everywhere and cannot live without you? In the entire Xuanwu Hall, she only smiles at people like Lu Bingyan, Zhong Qiande, and Cheng Si. Such a woman, It really humiliated the princess's deep love. If it wasn't for the princess's love, how could I have allowed such a woman to live until now."

"Get out!"

Don't want to listen to any more words, Zhu Qiaoxin leaned on the precious chair and said weakly: "Go out, I don't want to hear any more."

Yun Zheng raised his head and glanced at Zhu Qiaoxin who was completely leaning back in the chair, and made a soft promise to back down.

Quietly reclining in the chair, Zhu Qiaoxin lowered her head slowly.

Looking at the bi-color jade bracelet on his right wrist, Zhu Qiaoxin slowly pulled it back.

Only now did I know that this jade bracelet was actually a gift from Yue Qingfeng to Cheng Si, the eunuch who delivered the decree at that time.But she actually bought it with a large sum of silver, and kept it close to her body and never left it. For a while, Zhu Qiaoxin felt that it was unbelievable but also extremely embarrassing and ironic.

Is she worth all the effort she has made?Is she worthy of her scheming?She deserves to be remembered in her heart all the time, can't she sleep well even if she forgets?Is she worthy of her sacrifice and suffering?How could she, how dare she trample on her own intentions for the sake of a mere bit of power.

Thinking like this in my heart, questioning.It suddenly occurred to her that today in her brother's inner hall, she looked at herself with the same eyes as others.Zhu Qiaoxin became more and more unhappy.

"Since I was a child, no one dared to treat me like this, no one dared to trample me like this, the clearer the wind, the clearer the wind, the clearer the wind---"

A scene of the woman in men's clothing suddenly appeared in front of her, being dragged and squeezed into the crowd by herself.Suddenly feeling extremely uncomfortable, she hurriedly covered her forehead with one hand, and Zhu Qiaoxin smashed out the thing in her hand with a bang.

After the sound of the jade shattering reached his ears, Zhu Qiaoxin felt a little better.

In April of the sixth year of Jianyuan, after the annual sacrificial activities in the palace ended.During the rainy season of the Qingming Festival when everything is thriving, Yue Qingfeng, who had been in the palace for a year and a half, finally walked out of the palace again.

Yue Qingfeng, who was dressed in a blue official uniform, went into a tailor shop the first thing he did after leaving the palace.

He gave his female official uniform and some exquisite gadgets for the elders of the Yue Mansion to the little eunuch who followed him out of the palace.Yue Qingfeng huddled alone among the bustling crowd in Yancheng, looking at many women around him who were dressed like him, Yue Qingfeng's black eyes, which were always cool, gradually added a hint of water color.

"She's perfect for white!"

At the street corner three hundred feet away from Yue Qingfeng, Zhu Qiaoxin looked at Yue Qingfeng's back with fluttering white robes and whispered softly: "She really suits white!"

"Master, he's here!" The ugly expression just now suddenly turned a little better.Yun Zheng pointed to the elegant man who was also dressed in moon white not far away and said with a smile: "Our number one scholar, Major General Lang, is also very suitable for white shirts!"
