humble minister

Shi Yu suddenly woke up from his sleep, wiped off the thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and stared at the deserted palace with absent-minded eyes.During this period of time, he has been having this dream over and over again, always remembering the experience in Duanmu Mansion when he was young, and always staying in the most beautiful moment, so that he never wants to wake up.

What happened afterwards?

Shi Yu thought about it, and the memories that were too long ago were gradually recalled in his mind: he remembered that when he was about to return to the palace in the afternoon, he intentionally hurt himself, and pushed all the responsibilities to that vicious fat woman without a trace .Then what?And even though he was an unfavored prince, he was a prince after all, and his skinny camel was bigger than a horse, so no matter how the woman argued, he still couldn't escape the punishment of being executed with a stick.

Although he framed someone to death, Shi Yu, who was young at the time, didn't feel any guilt at all. He was just a little regretful. He obviously avenged that little Nuomi and wanted to see him again, but he didn't know what to do. I didn't see that small, pink and pink figure.

In fact, from that time on, I really wanted to protect him, didn't I?

Shi Yu laughed at himself, but it was a pity that he made a mistake from the very beginning. Based on the two clues of "Prime Minister Duanmu's child" and "girl", he immediately determined that the little glutinous rice was Duanmu Xiwei. But it was ridiculous. At that time, he was really too eager, eager to know who was the little man who made him have a strong desire to protect.

It turns out... from the very beginning, it was the wrong love. No wonder Duanmu Xiwei said the words "pay the wrong life".

Lian Ying, I was wrong. My mistake was not recognizing all this earlier. My mistake was implementing my plan in the name of protecting you. Isn't this a kind of use?What's wrong... I shouldn't have let you go just like that.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor of Weiyang Palace, who had not set foot in the newly built empress's bedroom for a long time, came here early in the morning, busying all the palace people, but the empress who was supposed to meet her majesty was sitting leisurely in the wooden Beside the baby's crib, while gently shaking the bed, humming a nice nursery rhyme.

"Have you thought it through, Your Majesty?" Duanmuxi asked with a slight smile when he heard the footsteps before anyone could ask.

"If you haven't thought it through, you won't come to see the queen." Shi Yu said lightly, but he walked to the side of the crib, and looked at the pink and tender baby who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and unconsciously softened his expression.

"Your Majesty, do you think my concubine will tell you what you want to know?" Duanmuxi smiled, stood up and walked around to the next room, "Your Majesty, let's talk next door, don't wake Yan'er."

Shi Yu glanced at the little baby again, knowing that the queen had already named him Shi Yan Shi Yan, which is not bad.

Before he sat down in the next room, Shi Yu spoke again: "If you didn't want to tell me, you wouldn't have said those words in the Yingcheng Pavilion."

"I'm just doing it for my stupid brother." Duanmuxi sighed slightly, and through overt and covert investigations and speculations, she finally figured out why the man in front of her "liked" her in the first place. In fact, it was all a mistake. isn't it?

Originally, she thought that Emperor Xuanwu didn't have her brother in his heart, so he did everything possible to send Lian Ying away, but through the observation and investigation results during this period, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that the emperor actually has feelings for Ah Ying.If that's the case, then it doesn't matter if she fulfills them, it's just...for Shi Yang and Yan'er.

"The people I sent just sent Ah Ying safely outside the capital and came back. I don't know where Ah Ying will be after all these days, but at least I can give you a general direction." Duanmu Xiwei said He took out a piece of parchment from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Yu, "The place circled here is the place where my people will arrive at the end. As for how far Ah Ying can go and where he will go, it is up to you Investigated."

"You expected that I would come to you?" Shi Yu took the parchment and asked lightly.

"I just believe in your feelings for Ah Ying." Duanmuxi smiled, and then said, "Although I am your wife in name, but now I just want to warn you as a sister-in-law and sister. Ying is better. If you really want to be with him, respect him, satisfy him, and don’t take any self-righteous measures to 'protect' him, Ah Ying is not a child who needs protection."

"Treat him well, it's not easy for you two to be together." Duanmu Xi slightly sighed, "You are the monarch of one dynasty, he is the prime minister of one dynasty, and the whole world is watching your every move. To be honest , I am not optimistic about you, as long as you are on the throne for a day, you will not be able to give Ah Ying the life he wants. Shi Yu, I really don't know what you will do."

"I don't need to worry about it, I know what to do." Shi Yu squeezed the parchment in his hand, and there was a hint of determination in his deep voice that was hard to fathom.

The moment Lian Ying stepped out of the city gate, he couldn't tell what it was like. He felt lucky and at ease, but also felt an indescribable sense of loss.Maybe... that person didn't want to catch up, at least until now there was no arrest warrant or anything like that about him.

It was obvious that he had returned to the old days when he was free and unfettered, but Lian Ying felt dazed and uncomfortable for a moment, as if he didn't know where to go.This world is so big, if he is the only one traveling alone, how lonely and lonely it would be!

Shaking his head, forcing himself to put the gloomy and depressing thoughts out of his mind, Lian Ying decided to travel around first, and visit Yu Niang and the others after a while.

My sister didn't prepare many things for him in the carriage, but there was a lot of money, and there was a good horse outside the city gate that could be used for transportation. If there is no hunting order or anything, then he really looks like a kid from a rich family who is out traveling.

Lian Ying hadn't gone far that day, and the originally cloudy sky suddenly had snowflakes. It was fine at first, but in the end it got bigger and bigger, and I couldn't even see the road farther away, let alone the snow on the road. It also made it difficult to travel.

Lian Ying tugged at the rein in his hand, but he couldn't move the maroon horse no matter what, one person and one horse stood in a stalemate for a long time in this snowy day, and finally Lian Ying had no choice but to give up: "That's all, if you don't want to leave, just leave." Here it is. But we must quickly find a place to shelter from the wind and snow."

After speaking, he patted the horse's mane, but the big red horse just flicked its tail and turned its head to one side.Lian Ying couldn't help laughing when he saw the horse's expression at this time, which reminded him of what happened a few days ago.

"If you really want to go back to see that pure white mare, then go, it's just that the weather..." Before even finishing his reply, the bay red horse raised its head and neighed, and could hear a bit of joy, even He also stretched out the horse's head, rubbed it against Lian Ying, stroked its palm, and then ran away.

Lian Ying, who was left on the spot by a horse, couldn't laugh or cry. Looking at the bay red horse's vigorous posture in the snow, he secretly clicked his tongue. The power of love is indeed great. He had never seen it carry himself so flexibly before.

Shaking his head and smiling, Lian Ying tightened his skirt and adjusted his cloak to try his best to resist the cold wind and snowflakes blowing from the outside world. He was in a daze for a while—it turned out that it had been nearly a year since he officially helped Shi Yu Ah, it's really... so sad.

But these are things of the past, people should look forward, especially him who lives every day.

Lian Ying thought about it, he was cheering himself up, and after coughing a few times, he still walked towards the inn not far away step by step.

The inn is very ordinary, the name is ordinary, the layout is ordinary, but the proprietress is very enthusiastic.

This was Lian Ying's first thought after sitting down, and his second thought was... Unexpectedly, he met Yao Li, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Although the other party asked all the time when he came up, and even dragged his arm to seek justice, but it had to be said that it was the appearance of Yao Li that made him feel less cold.

"Don't scold me, I still have something to ask you." After Yao Li finally calmed down, Lian Ying put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.

"Aren't I worried about you when I ask you?" Yao Li curled her lips, although her face was full of dissatisfaction but she still couldn't hide her worry, "I didn't expect so many things to happen after I left, one after another. All these things point to you. Moreover, these things have been edited and polished by some people with ulterior motives. Now there are not many people in the Northern Dynasty who know about this matter, but there are definitely not many people. There are ulterior motives and discussions, Ah Ying , I'm worried that you won't be able to bear it."

"They say theirs, so what does it have to do with me?" Lian Ying smiled, "Anyway, they can't cut the flesh of my body, and they can't hurt me anyway."

"But you don't need to cut your flesh so much better now." Yao Li said angrily, "Your health is not good, and you have been in a humid place like the sky prison for so long, and when you come out, it happens to be Daxue, I must have caught the wind and cold, but I don't care about it, I don't know what to say about you."

"If you want me to tell you, Shi Yu, don't be an emperor anymore, he is also a foolish emperor! He is indistinguishable from loyalty to traitor, fatuous and incompetent, which made you like this. Simply, now that I have found you, I will never let you go again. I must help you recover well, and then we will travel around the world together and go happily, okay?" After speaking, Yao Li looked at Lian Ying expectantly, he knew that what he was doing at this time was quite dangerous Suspected, but he really can't watch Ah Ying ruining his body for that man anymore, maybe he still has that heart.
