Yu Qi couldn't help but be surprised by the sudden invitation, and Xie Jinyan even looked suspicious.
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you. After looking at each other for a moment, they walked out of the pavilion in tacit agreement.
Along the way, Xie Jinyan was worried, and Yu Qi was even more in a complicated mood.
On the one hand, he hopes that his sister will recognize him, but on the other hand, he hopes that his sister will not recognize him.
As an older brother, he naturally wanted to recognize his sister. But as an older brother, he was also afraid that his sister would see him in such a miserable state, seeing the once high-spirited eldest son of the Yu family reduced to a eunuch, crawling on the ground all the time.
Take up the menial job of serving people.
Xie Jinyan was even more depressed. He was afraid that what he was worried about would eventually come to light. He was afraid that Yu Qingwu would notice something and misunderstand him...
Two men walked into the main courtyard in a hurry and with depressed expressions.
Yu Qingwu, who was supposed to be lying on the bed, was now sitting on a cushioned chair in the front hall. He was dressed in moon-white plain clothes, with a simple bun with clouds, and a snow-white jade hairpin on the side, which made him look pale.
His face has a more pitiful color.
Seeing Xie Jinyan enter the door, she immediately stood up and greeted him with the support of her maid, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"It's unprovoked, what are you doing up here?" Xie Jinyan was a little angry.
He stretched out his hand to help Yu Qingwu up, and ordered the maid beside him to bring another coat to put on her. Then he leaned over and sat beside her, gently held her hand, and asked warmly, "Is there anything I can't do for you?"
The person in the room said, "You are still injured, and the wind is blowing outside. What should I do if it gets serious?"
Hearing this, Yu Qingwu raised his lips and smiled, enduring the pain, and responded to him gently, "The wind is blowing outside, but it's so tight inside this room, how can there be any wind? Besides, I was just injured, and
If you’re not paralyzed in bed, why can’t you get up?”
While speaking, Yu Qingwu winked at the maid again, and the maid immediately withdrew and closed the door behind her. Feng Yuan and Aunt Xun also withdrew and stood guard outside the door in a tacit understanding.
For a moment, only Yu Qingwu, Xie Jinyan and seven or three others were left in the hall.
Xie Jinyan and Yu Qingwu were fine, but Yu Qi was inexplicably embarrassed.
Although he always protected Yu Qingwu secretly, he didn't recognize each other, and he didn't know what Yu Qingwu wanted to do by calling him along with him.
As usual, Yu Qi still put on a respectful and serious expression in front of Yu Qingwu. She stood aside with extreme uprightness, coughed slightly, and asked Yu Qingwu in a warm voice, "I wonder what the princess's order was when she called the slave over?"
?”
"It's nothing, I just want to give Chamberlain Yu something." Yu Qingwu curled his lips, looked gentle and kind, and smiled, "When I was in the palace, Chamberlain Yu took great care of me, and he also told me when I was in danger.
These encouraging words, to me at that time, those words were like providing help in times of need. A few days ago, Concubine Yu went to Shu to clear my grievances and saved my life. I have regarded Concubine Yu as a friend in my heart.
.”
Yu Qingwu carefully took out a brocade box from his arms, handed it to him and said, "I don't have anything valuable to give you, so I will give you this longevity lock. I hope it can protect my wife and you."
While talking, Yu Qingwu had already taken out the longevity lock made of silver and handed it to Yu Qi with a smile.
The moment she saw the longevity lock, Yu Qi's body suddenly shook.
But soon, he regained his composure and hurriedly excused himself, "The Crown Princess is too polite. I didn't say anything. I can't bear such a generous gift."
A generous gift?
It's just a longevity lock made of silver. What kind of gift is it?
Yu Qingwu smiled, his suspicions deepening.
He thought of what Ling'er and Yu Zhen clan brothers said when they came to see him, and of Yu Qi's concern for him when he was in the palace, and of the emperor's words...the two of them look alike.
Although she saw her brother's body with her own eyes at that time, after all, the body had been burned beyond recognition...
Even though she felt that her idea was too absurd at the moment, she still wanted to verify it.
Looking at Yu Qi, Yu Qingwu frowned, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "This is just a longevity lock, not worth much money. I also know that Minister Yu is not short of gold, silver and jewelry, so I just want to
I can only express my sincerity by giving this gift. When I was young, I went to the temple with my mother and eldest brother to ask for it in person. Although it is not expensive, it can ensure peace."
"Waiter Yu refuses so much. Could it be that he... despises this thing?"
She frowned, looking a little aggrieved, which made her already sickly face look even more pitiful.
Yu Qi felt a stab in her heart and felt a little distressed.
He wanted to reach out and take it, but he took it back, suppressing his emotions, and explained in a gentle voice, "The Crown Princess must not misunderstand, I am afraid of causing other people to misunderstand. If the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness are involved in a private exchange, bribery
The eunuch's reputation is the slave's fault."
Private giving and receiving?
Bribing eunuchs?
What kind of bribe is this longevity lock?
If he accepted it, Yu Qingwu would not be so suspicious, but Yu Qibai's excuses made Yu Qingwu feel even more that maybe... the person in front of him really has something to do with his brother.
However, Yu Qi refused to accept her life and death, so she did not make things difficult for him again.
Xu Ran put the longevity lock with the word 'year' engraved on it back into the brocade box, smiled at Yu Qi and nodded, "That's right, I didn't think carefully enough, and I almost got into trouble for His Highness and Waiter Yu.
"
Seeing Yu Qingwu take it back, Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. But when he met her eyes, he felt inexplicably flustered. He hurriedly bowed to her and replied, "Then... if the Crown Princess and His Highness have nothing else to do,
, I will return to the palace to resume my life first."
"Well... Waiter Yu, I really want to ask your help for something." Just as Yu Qi was about to turn around, Yu Qingwu spoke again.
Yu Qi paused and looked at the weak woman sitting on the seat with confusion.
Xie Jinyan also looked towards her, looking at the probing look in her eyes through his dark eyes, his brows furrowed even more.
Yu Qingwu took in the expressions of the two people, but turned a blind eye. He only coughed, looked at Yu Qi with a weak breath, and said warmly, "Servant Yu, I just...heard you delivering the father's instructions in the room.
, I know that my father wants to vent his anger on me, but Ah Yue is also my junior sister after all, and she made such a big mistake because of my lax control of her senior sister."
"Therefore, I would like to ask Waiter Yu to allow me to ask my father for a favor to Ah Yue. I wonder if Waiter Yu will allow me to do so?" This chapter has been completed!
