Yunchi was shocked and couldn't believe that she was really so arrogant.
"If Brother Seventh Emperor has nothing to do, you should go back first." Yun Zishu said to see the guests off, "My reputation is not very good recently. If I implicate you, I will be guilty."
Yunchi was silent for a moment, then stood up and saluted her: "It was my fault just now. My words were too extreme. I hope Lord Jiumei has more knowledge and doesn't have the same experience as me."
Yun Zishu didn't say anything, but slowly took a sip of herbal tea with her eyes closed.
"It was my fault today, so I apologize to Jiumei." After Yunchi finished speaking, he bowed again, "In addition to apologizing, I should also thank Jiumei."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly: "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you Jiu Mei for being willing to lend a helping hand to your cousin." Yunchi said sincerely, "Cousin Mu Chen has already told me about this matter."
Originally, like the ministers of the court, he thought that Su Muchen was willing to sacrifice his sister for his own career. Later, he learned that there was another hidden reason in the matter, and he did not expect that the person who helped was actually Yun Zishu.
"Sit down." Yun Zishu didn't take it seriously, "I have no interest in being a good person, so there are conditions for helping him."
Yunchi sat down, with a bit of self-mockery on his face: "My mother was very uneasy after knowing this. She has no say in the harem, and she dare not offend Concubine Wu and her son, so even if my cousin is really taken to the East Palace by the prince,
We can only watch helplessly and there is nothing we can do."
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
What's more, those people are Concubine Wu and the prince.
The two most noble people in the dynasty besides their father, the emperor doted on them, and the others didn't even have a chance to express their dissatisfaction.
Yunchi knew in his heart that if Yun Zishu hadn't taken action in this matter, his cousin would have had no room to resist.
"If this matter is not handled well, not only Mu Chen and my cousin will suffer, but my mother and I will also be involved." Yunchi smiled bitterly, "The royal family is so cruel. There is no affection between brothers, only the distinction between superiority and inferiority. Prince
No one can stop you from doing what you want to do.”
Yun Zishu closed her eyes and said nothing.
"Jiu Mei." Yunchi hesitated for a moment, "What are your conditions for helping Mu Chen?"
Yun Zishu raised her eyes: "He didn't tell you?"
"Didn't say."
"Then you don't need to know. Knowing too much is not good for you." Yun Zishu said calmly, "If you have nothing to do, go back. I have gained a bad reputation recently, and there are many people staring at me. You'd better stay away from me.
Stay away."
Yunchi was a little ashamed: "Jiu Mei is not afraid, what should I be afraid of?"
Yun Zishu smiled lightly: "I have nothing to worry about, so I have nothing to fear. Can you do that?"
Yunchi was at a loss for words for a moment: "Although I am concerned, I still have to be grateful. Besides, if I just walk around with Jiumei, will I get into trouble for it?"
"I am often in trouble." Yun Zishu said, "You can avoid it if you can."
Yunchi found that this sister was really different from before... How should I put it? The previous Ninth Princess was too silent, humble and meek, even a little weak, and had no sense of existence.
Whatever her father asked her to do, she would only do it without any thought of resistance, and no one else could know what she was thinking.
They didn't even know whether she was willing to marry Xiao Yunheng.
But now Yun Zishu's eyes are firm and cold, her demeanor is calm, and her eyebrows reveal wisdom and majesty that is not what a girl of this age should have.
...Hmm, majestic.
It seems that this is the natural bearing that a royal princess should have.
What was the reason for her sudden change?
It was obvious that she had only been married to Xiao Yunheng for two months. What happened during those two months in the Xiao family that made her seem like a completely different person?
Yunchi couldn't figure it out, and Yun Zishu wouldn't tell him the answer.
Except for business matters, the two brothers and sisters were not close in the past. At this time, Yunchi didn't know what to say to break the delicate atmosphere. He sat at a loss for a while, and then planned to leave.
Before leaving, he hesitated to speak and looked at Yun Zishu: "Jiu Mei..."
"Brother Seventh Emperor has something to say, but there's no harm in saying it."
"I'll tell you a little bit about something. You know it, but you don't need to take it too seriously."
Yun Zishu's eyebrows moved slightly: "What?"
"Does Jiumei think the prince is suitable to be emperor?"
Yun Zishu frowned: "How dare you ask this question?"
Is it suitable for him to discuss? Isn't he worried that it will spread to the ears of the emperor and punish him for making false remarks about the crown prince?
Yunchi lowered his eyes, "Actually, the prince is not suitable to be the emperor, and the prince is not the prince in my father's heart."
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment, slightly surprised: "Brother Seventh Emperor, is this true?"
Sicang looked at Yunchi expressionlessly, his eyes thoughtful.
"Anyway, if Ninth Sister believes it, then you have some confidence in your heart. If you don't believe it, just think I'm farting." After Yunchi finished speaking, he nodded to Yun Zishu, "I'll take my leave now."
Yun Zishu ordered Leng Shuang to see him off, while she sat in the flower hall, looking at the flowers in the garden that were a little faded by the sun, "Sicang, sit down and rest for a while."
Si Cang agreed and sat down opposite Yun Zishu.
"Eat some fruit." Yun Zishu handed him a bamboo stick, "It has been cut. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste."
After saying that, he handed a plate of watermelon to Leng Yue who was standing next to him: "You should also eat some."
Leng Yue held the watermelon, glanced at her leader secretly, turned and walked to a corner to enjoy the watermelon.
Living with Her Highness the Ninth Princess has led to a comfortable life. Not only can I show off my power, but I can also always enjoy delicious food that is not meant for servants.
Leng Yue ate the watermelon contentedly, not forgetting to leave half of it for Leng Shuang.
From now on, they must be loyal to the Ninth Princess and never let anyone bully the princess. In this way, when the princess achieves her great cause, they can fly to the nine heavens with her.
Leng Yue imagined the glory of the future and burst into laughter.
This smile instantly attracted two pairs of eyes.
Leng Yue quickly stopped laughing and stood respectfully.
"What are you laughing at?" Yun Zishu was puzzled, "Did you think of something funny?"
Leng Yue didn't dare to say anything, she pursed her lips and shook her head.
"Leng Yue really doesn't look like she came from the Shadow Pavilion." Yun Zishu turned to look at Sicang, "She has a very different temperament from Leng Shuang."
"Well, not very calm." Si Cang nodded, "If His Highness is not satisfied with her, he will ask her to return to the cabinet to take up the post -"
"Your Highness, spare my life!" Leng Yue knelt down with a plop, her face turned pale with fright, "Don't send me back. It would be too scary to go back to the pavilion for retraining! Life is worse than death. I will definitely not be able to hold on. Please, Your Highness
show mercy!"
Yun Zishu was slightly startled, then frowned: "What are you doing?"
Leng Yue looked at her longingly.
"Okay, get up." Yun Zishu laughed, "Sicang should be joking with you."
Joking?
Leng Yue shuddered.
The leader of her family, who is as cold as ice and has harsh methods, will never make fun of her. Everything he says is true. If the princess is dissatisfied with her, the leader will definitely throw her to the Shadow Pavilion for further training.
Thinking about those terrible days, Leng Yue couldn't help but shudder again.
Yun Zishu turned to look at Sicang, who had a stern expression and frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased.
Well, as expected, he looked like he was waiting to send Leng Yue back to the Dark Pavilion at any time.
