Out of the Lantern Festival, Yunqing was so busy that he couldn't see anyone. Yuxi didn't complain, but the next day he asked people to send food and a change of clothes to the barracks, and nothing else. She didn't understand the war, so she didn't ask nonsense.

Pomegranate entered the house and said to Yuxi, "Madam, Steward Han is back." "Pomegranate used to be Yuxi's third-class maid, and when she arrived in Yucheng, she was transferred to the inner courtyard to serve Yuxi. But she hasn't experienced it yet, and now it's just a little bit of running errands.

Han Ji walked in with a frosty face and said to Yuxi: "Madam, everything is decided, I will go to Xinping City to pick up the goods in two days." After speaking, he showed Yuxi the list of things he bought.

Yuxi looked at the list, and the things were a lot cheaper than he expected. Yuxi asked at the moment: "I heard that Yucheng has to fight every spring because of the war, so the things at this time are four or five percent higher than when there is no war, and the price of these things you buy is about the same as normal, is there any reason for this?" ”

Han Ji nodded and said, "The Ying family said that this business was introduced by Grandma Fu, and it was all from his own family, so there was no price increase." As for the real reason, his wife also knew it.

Yu Xi put the list on the desk and said with a smile: "No business, no treachery, they give such a big discount, there must be a plan?" Say, what are they trying to do? ”

Han Ji said: "The Ying family wants to do business with his wife for a long time in the future. "It is equivalent to saying that Yingjia feels that Yunqing is a potential stock and wants to catch up with Yuxi. In the future, Yunqing will gain power, and with the Yuxi relationship, they will be able to seek greater business in the future.

Yuxi heard the meaning of these words, and said with a sigh: "You can rest in the mansion for the past two days!" "It's not easy to get to and from Tan Binh City.

In the evening, Zijin returned from the school. As soon as I returned to the house, I went into the kitchen to look for Mother Bai and said, "Mother Bai, do you have anything to eat?" Get me some. ”

Mother Bai took a steamed bun and gave it to Zi Jin, and said with a smile: "There is also a night of chicken soup in the cupboard, which was just scooped out." "This chicken soup is boiled for Yuxi, and Yuxi doesn't want to eat too greasy, so the top layer of chicken soup with oil has to be scooped out. When Yunqing was there, he used noodles under chicken broth. Now, this bowl of chicken soup is given to Zi Jin to eat.

Seeing Zi Jin eat a mouthful of steamed buns and drink a mouthful of chicken soup, she looked very hungry, and asked with a smile, "Why are you so hungry?" The school won't give you food? ”

Zi Jin finished the steamed bun in a few bites, and said, "Where is the food in the school that is delicious as Mother Bai's?" "In the school, you can only mix and be full, and if you want to eat as much as you want, that's just a thought. I didn't eat much at noon, and I taught them martial arts in the afternoon, so they would be really hungry.

After the steamed buns and chicken soup were served, Zi Jin finally felt comfortable. Just as he was about to enter the house to find Yuxi to talk about something, he saw Han Ji hurriedly walking in.

When Yuxi heard Han Ji coming, he immediately said, "Let Steward Han come in." "There must be something urgent. Otherwise, Steward Han should rest again.

Han Ji took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Yuxi and said, "Madam, the capital has a letter." The messenger said that 100,000 was urgent. "It takes 100,000 urgently, which proves that things are very important.

Yuxi took the letter and opened it, and his face was a little strange after reading it. After a while, Yuxi waved his hand and said to Han Ji, "You go down first!" ”

Han Ji said: "Madam, the messenger said that he hoped that Madame would reply to the letter as much as possible, so that he could bring the letter back." "Looking at Madame's expression, she is quite calm, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

Yuxi nodded and said, "I know, let him rest for a while, and let's go again tomorrow morning!" "This is not a trivial matter, and she can't decide it herself. I have to discuss it with Yunqing and Huo Changqing before I can decide,

Seeing this, Han Ji immediately went down.

Yuxi didn't let people call Yunqing and Huo Changqing, but stayed in the study alone. As for what she was doing in the study, no one knew but herself.

At nightfall, Yun Qing and Huo Changqing came back. This time, Huo Changqing directly followed Yunqing into the inner courtyard, saw Yuxi and asked, "Let's come back, is there anything urgent?" ”

Yuxi handed over the letter that Han Jianming had written to her and said, "The prince knows that the Yu family wants to win over Herui, so he wants to stop it. "The crown prince can't sit idly by and watch his family get involved in military power.

Huo Changqing asked, "How does the prince want to stop it?" ”

Yuxi said: "For the prince, the safest way is to let Yunqing take refuge in him. "They have all become his people, and the people of the Yu family will have no choice.

Huo Changqing didn't speak, just looked at Yunqing.

Yun Qing was silent for a long time and said: "The crown prince is the prince and the future emperor, and no matter how powerful the Yu family is, he is just a courtier. This sentence is enough to show Yunqing's attitude.

Yuxi asked Huo Changqing: "Uncle Huo, what do you mean?" Yunqing's answer was within Yuxi's expectations. Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is something engraved in Yunqing's bones, and it is not ordinarily difficult for him to give up the prince and take refuge in his family. Of course, that was for others, but it wasn't that difficult for her. However, this hole card will not be released until the end.

Huo Changqing looked at Yunqing and said, "Your daughter-in-law has already said just now that the prince wants you to take refuge in him." Taking refuge means that you have to sell your life for him and do things for him in the future. If the crown prince is famous and powerful, and he occupies the great righteousness, I will not stop you, and I want you to take refuge in him. But now that the prince has no name and power, he has been completely hollowed out, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a puppet. If you take refuge in Him, not only will we not get any benefit, but we will offend our family. Huo Changqing's meaning is very simple, it is not worth it to take refuge in the prince and offend the Yu family.

After a pause, Huo Changqing continued: "The Yu family is different, our relationship with the Yu family is a cooperative relationship. If they can't satisfy us, we can always cut off our relationship with them. ”

Yun Qing calmly said nothing,

Seeing this, Huo Changqing looked at Yuxi and asked, "What do you mean?" In fact, he didn't need to ask to know that Yuxi was definitely not willing to cooperate with the prince.

Yuxi didn't hide it, and said what he meant directly: "The prince has the blood of the Song family in his body, and he has the viciousness and cold-bloodedness of the Song family in his bones. If He Rui takes refuge in the crown prince, He Rui will become a sharp weapon in his hands and a sharp weapon to eradicate other forces. When he seized power and completely gained a firm foothold, it was time for this sharp weapon to disappear. This means that the prince will unload the mill and kill the donkey at that time.

Yun Qing listened and said: "If the prince's position is unstable, the ambitions of the Yu family and the Song family will be difficult to fill, and the world will be in chaos sooner or later." Although I share the hatred of the Song family, if the world is in turmoil, it is the people who suffer in the end. The 100,000 soldiers in the border city swore to defend Yucheng to the death, just so that the people of the world could not be poisoned by the war and live a stable life. ”

Yuxi was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What do you mean that for the sake of righteousness, you can not only not take revenge on your family, but also sacrifice yourself and your wife and children?" ”

Yun Qing said: "My Yun family does not have a man who ignores the overall situation for personal gain, otherwise when I get to Jiuquan, I will meet my grandfather and father without words." This meaning is already very clear, even if the prince is weak, he will only take refuge in the prince and will not cooperate with the Yu family.

When Yuxi heard this, tears fell involuntarily. She doesn't understand, she really doesn't understand, why would such a broad-minded, upright, and world-minded man be so unbearable in his previous life? She is not worth it for Yunqing, and she really hates it for Yunqing.

Yun Qing watched Yuxi's tears roll down, thinking that she was sad for what she said just now, and she felt a little guilty in her heart, and said to Yuxi: "I'm sorry." Yuxi, I am a general, a general who guards the land and defends the country. This sentence shows that his attitude cannot be changed.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "I don't blame you. She really didn't blame Yunqing, but she was distressed, and she didn't know how much Yunqing had carried in her previous life.

When Yunqing heard this, he was a little moved: "Thank you, Yuxi, thank you." "If you have a wife like this, you have no regrets in this life.

Huo Changqing's face was a little gloomy, he didn't agree with Yun Qing's idea, but he couldn't say that Yun Qing's idea was wrong. If Yuxi is also on Yunqing's side, there will be no way to turn this matter around. Thinking of this, Huo Changqing looked at Yuxi and asked, "You also support Yunqing to join the prince?" ”

Yuxi wiped his tears, shook his head and said, "No, I didn't support him to join the prince." On the contrary, the crown prince must not take refuge. ”

Hearing this, Huo Changqing's heart calmed down and asked, "How do you say this?" "Huo Changqing is not a selfish person, if he were a selfish person, Old Man Yun would not entrust Yunqing to him. It's just that he has his own set of principles for acting, for example, Yun Qing said that if the prince is wise, even if the prince is in a difficult situation, he will support it. But it is obvious that the prince is not a reliable one at all. As Yuxi said, the prince has the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of the Song family in his bones. How can such a person be worthy of refuge.

Yuxi looked at Yunqing and said, "Do you remember the Tongcheng incident?" ”

How could Yunqing forget the Tongcheng Incident, it was because of the Tongcheng Incident that his family would be ruined. I will never forget this incident until I die.

Yuxi said slowly: "Back then, the Tongcheng Incident, in fact, the Nine Emperor Princes, that is, the current crown prince, were also involved. ”

Huo Changqing was taken aback when he heard this. Yun Qing walked up to Yu Xi, grabbed Yu Xi's shoulders with both paws, and asked, "How did you know about this?" ”

Yuxi's face was distorted, and he said, "You scratched me." "What are you doing! She felt like her bones were going to be crushed.

Yun Qing's expression changed dramatically when he came back to his senses, and he immediately put his hand off Yuxi's shoulder, turned around and walked out: "I'm going to call a doctor?" ”

Yuxi let out a sigh, suppressed the strangeness that appeared in his heart, and said, "You don't need to call a doctor, I'll be fine, I'll be fine in a while." ”

Huo Changqing didn't wait for Yun Qing to speak, and asked, "Just now you said that the Tongcheng Incident was also involved, what do you mean?" He knew that Yuxi would definitely not make up nonsense in order to persuade Yunqing to give up his refuge with the prince and cooperate with the Yu family, Yuxi was not such an unmeasured person.

Yunqing said: "It's not too late to talk about this later, I'll go and call the doctor first." With that, he strode out.

Yuxi looked at Yunqing's back, and his heart was heavy. R1148
