He suddenly realized that the gazes from his surroundings were off. Everyone looked at her as if she were an enemy. In the past, the matriarch had doted on her, so they were all very respectful. Now that the matriarch was sick, and because the two aunts had said a few words, everyone looked at her as if they were their enemies. Humans. Ignorant. The matter was clearly there, but they could not see the truth.
Instead, I felt like I was in their way.
The home that she once thought of as the Prime Minister's Palace now only felt that people were weak. Only the matriarch, her first uncle, her third uncle, and her cousin gave her a sense of familiarity. Maybe he was too picky!
Many of them had returned to the Yanran Pavilion.
When they saw her return, Wen'er and the others surrounded her.
"Miss, you must be tired! I'll go get water for the lady and take a bath! "
Xuanyuan Yu said to Liu Mei beside her, "You can go now! I have something to say to you. "
The few of them agreed before retreating.
Xuanyuan Yu carefully looked at Yue'er, her face exhausted. Her eyes were rimmed with laughter, and when she spoke to Xuanyuan Yu, her voice was a little hoarse. Xuanyuan Yu let out a sigh. She knew that she must have cried for a very long time and must also have not had a proper rest.
Then he said, "Eldest Uncle is fine now. The imperial physician said he'll be fine tomorrow."
"Really?" Wan-Er said excitedly, her eyes were red again, and tears fell down her cheeks. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself not to cry.
Xuanyuan Yu felt upset watching this, "If you want to cry, just cry!"
Seeing her, Wan-Er couldn't hold it in anymore. She laid her head on the table and started to cry. Xuanyuan Yu only accompanied her and did not say anything. The one he loved had been injured for him, but he couldn't go see him.
Xuanyuan Yu patted Xun Er's back and suddenly said, "I'll let Second Young Master. "I'll let you serve Eldest Young Master!"
Warm suddenly stopped crying. "Can I?"
Xuanyuan Yu nodded her head. "It's fine. This is very difficult for us, but now that we're in charge of Second Uncle, this matter should be very simple."
Warm Child looked at her gratefully. Seeing the look in her eyes, she realized how selfish she was. He was too preoccupied with complaining to his mistress, so who could she complain to in her heart? Then he asked, "Miss, did the Sixth Prince really get the gold?"
Xuanyuan Yu lowered her head and nodded.
"This is really going too far," Wan-Er said angrily. "I really didn't know that it was such a person."
Xuanyuan Yu shook her head, not wanting to say anything.
"Knock knock. Miss's water is ready. Do you want to take a bath now?"
"Bring the water!"
Warm Child hurriedly stood up and wiped away her tears. He walked over and opened the door.
Liu Mei looked at Xun Er's red eyes and her tears. He was doubtful, but didn't probe any further.
The water was ready. Liu Mei came over to help take off Xuanyuan Yu's clothes.
Xuanyuan Yu avoided it. "No need, all of you go out! "I'll do it myself."
Liu Mei lowered her head. "Then I'll go prepare some food for Miss. Miss hasn't eaten all night. When we're done bathing, let's eat some porridge."
Xuanyuan Yu lightly smiled. "No need. When I've finished bathing, I'll rest for a bit. If Eldest Uncle wakes up, remember to notify me."
"Yes." Liu Mei withdrew.
He smiled at her and left.
When everyone had left, Xuanyuan Yu let out a long sigh. He slowly took off his clothes. As he ran into the tub, he couldn't help but exclaim. Then, she submerged her head into the water. Her mind was filled with the image of Ouyang Shaojie, his voice and appearance, the way they kissed, and the sweet words he whispered in her ear as he swore to her. Above the bamboo forest, there was still the scene of him being saved from Xuanyuan Zhi before he came to the Prime Minister's Estate that night. That kiss had turned into a conspiracy. When she rushed to the Sixth Prince's Mansion, she was hoping that it wasn't him, that it was just a wild guess. But when he admitted it, when she begged him, even when he knelt down, his heartlessness and his decisiveness were like a knife, slowly stabbing into Xuanyuan Yu's heart. Pain. It was very painful. Just like who let it be, it was suffocating. Xuanyuan Yu felt that it was difficult to breathe and her life was about to disappear. She suddenly got out of the water and leaned against the back.
Feeling the temperature of the water. Was his life destined to be so unfortunate? It doesn't matter if there are twists and turns in life, but aren't there too many twists and turns right now? He didn't want to know whether his life was good or bad. After soaking in it for a while, he would get up and lie down on the bed. He had not slept the entire night. Although he was very sleepy, his mind was filled with many things. With a terrible headache, he decided to get up. Standing on the windowsill, he blew on the wind and poured himself a cup of tea. Smelling the fragrance of the tea, he tried his best to calm his emotions. Right now, his only option was to find the Sixth Prince. However, he did not even look at himself. He thought back to when he had loudly said that he did not want the throne because of him. He felt that it was like a dream, more like a joke. She even wondered if everything had been premeditated. There were layers of soldiers guarding outside. There were also quite a few dark guards of the Prime Minister's Estate. If the royal family was too forceful, a fierce battle would be inevitable.
After a moment, he walked out of the room. He really wasn't in the mood to sleep.
Liu Mei saw that Xuanyuan Yu had walked out and quickly walked over. "Miss, aren't we going to rest?"
Xuanyuan Yu shook her head, "But I can't sleep. I want to walk around. "
Liu Mei thought for a moment. "Miss, how about I have the bamboo basket accompany you?"
Xuanyuan Yu knew that she was worried for her safety, and her thoughts were also correct. After all, it was an extraordinary period and she couldn't cause any more trouble, so as to avoid being taken advantage of, she nodded her head.
When Liu Mei saw Xuanyuan Yu nod, she smiled and quickly ran off to find a bamboo basket.
Xuanyuan Yu faintly smiled. Furthermore, Xuanyuan Yu had also seen through it. Although Liu Mei was well-informed and very curious about the matter regarding Little Qiao, she did not inquire about it. From her confused and curious expression, Xuanyuan Yu knew that she had a sense of propriety and very soon Xuanyuan Yu saw Liu Mei pulling a bamboo basket over to them.
He then said to the bamboo basket, "Accompany the young lady for a stroll in the courtyard. "After thinking about it, I said to Xuanyuan Yu," "Does young miss want to eat something now? I'll make young miss something light."
Xuanyuan Yu said with a smile, "Alright, I don't have any appetite right now. When I come back later, you can bring it to me!"
Liu Mei's face was full of smiles as she agreed.
The two continued to walk towards the back garden. He walked to the pavilion. If it weren't for the fact that Wan-Er had saved her life, she would be the one lying in bed right now. Although she knew that she was close with her uncle, she didn't think he would have given up his life for her. She only had three relatives.
The pavilion was surrounded by water, and it was the best place to speak. If someone approached, they would be able to see it.
Xuanyuan Yu sat down. He said to the bamboo basket, "Take a seat too!"
The bamboo basket hesitated for a moment and was about to speak.
Xuanyuan Yu said in advance, "I don't want to repeat myself, so you don't need to find excuses. I'm not in the mood right now."
The bamboo basket knew that Xuanyuan Yu was in an extremely bad mood and also gnashed his teeth in hatred towards Ouyang Shaojie. In the end, he still sat down to avoid angering Xuanyuan Yu.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at her and asked, "If we want to leave, will it be very difficult?"
The bamboo basket nodded, "Currently, the soldiers outside are all the most powerful elite soldiers. This time, young master has come back and brought all the elite soldiers back, and I heard from Liu Mei that it seemed to be requested by the emperor, and the young master is injured now, and those soldiers only listen to the deputy general. As for that deputy general, I heard that he has always listened to the lord, but I don't know why now, but he suddenly went back to the court and became the deputy general.
It was a conspiracy to have the three brothers of the Liu Family come back. When the assistant general had no interest in his uncle, he was very obedient, but once uncle went down, he would become the main general. In front of the benefits, how could they care for each other?
Heh, it was really a huge conspiracy. When did the royal family become dissatisfied with the Liu Family? This plan was not something that could be completed in a short period of time.
He needed to get rid of the three gold medals. He needed to clean up the people around Matriarch He and poison her food so they wouldn't be discovered. After being in the mansion for so many years, no one had doubted him. It was really quite shocking.
Second. They brought the three brothers of the Liu Family back.
Eldest Brother and Second Brother fought against the enemy in the south and Third Brother fought in the north. They all had military power in their hands. So how do we seize power? Then he would need someone who wanted to seize the army. This must be trusted by the Liu Family. And he had to make the soldiers trust him.
So there was General Bai. Now, the military power of his first uncle was in the hands of General Bai. And third uncle's. Would there be an accident?
And how many shadows were there in this mansion? How many people in this mansion were from the royal family?
And she suspected that some of her people had betrayed her. After all, she remembered that she was locked up, but in the end she went missing for no reason. She had only gone to find Ouyang Shaojie because her head was spinning. She didn't think that it would actually be him.
Perhaps the royal family never imagined that Matriarch He would hand over a Gold Medallion to me. Since when did this Ouyang Shaojie set his sights on my Gold Medallion? From the start, or in the middle?
The layout of everything. At the very least, he could be sure that this arrangement had been made for many years, and the soldiers had the highest morale. Without years of interaction, it would be hard to make them trust him. Big head.
Now that she knows who's behind the scenes, she has no other choice. Even if she knows that someone betrayed her and captured them, she doesn't know if it will be of any use or not.
Everything was too difficult.
"Let's go!" "Let's go back." After she finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yu walked straight forward. Just as he reached the intersection, he stopped. "You go back first, I'll go see matriarch."
"Yes." The bamboo basket lowered its head as it replied.
Xuanyuan Yu directly went to the main hall.
"Miss. — — Miss." People bowed along the way.
