Yan Yunshu held the letter in her hand, and her first reaction was that Xu Jingye's brain was stuck in the door. Then, when she looked at the word "Queen", she felt something was wrong.
The bad feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
She then returned to her room and opened the letter.
A small white jade pendant was taken out of the envelope.
Letter to the Cloud:
"Yun Shu, I'm sorry. I was deceived in the past, blinded and unable to see my true heart. Now I have repented and realized how much you mean to me. I know you hate me and blame me, but the past is over. In this life, even if I have to exhaust all means, I will keep you by my side. The times are turbulent, and the jade buildings are reduced to ruins in an instant. The prosperous world has fallen into the flames of war, but I will never hurt you again in this life. I only wish to do my best to protect you and your family. I only hope that you will stand by my side, join hands with me, and rise to a high position and share the imperial power, without fear of the current situation. The above words are sincere and heartfelt. I hope you will trust me and understand me, for life and eternity. Ye."
The prosperous and flourishing world turned into ruins in an instant...
The prosperous era fell into the flames of war...
Yan Yunshu frowned, picked up the jade pendant and held it tightly.
Is Xu Jingye finally going to take the most dangerous step?
Yes or no……
Yan Yunshu's eyes flashed with the image of the Sun and Moon Tower, the emperor's haggard appearance, and the way he refused medical treatment, as if he was willing to die.
Xu Jinghuai even suggested postponing the wedding.
She picked up the letter and looked at it over and over again.
On the back of the letter, in the lower right corner, there is another line of words.
"To protect the country and the family, regardless of life or death."
At the training ground today, the soldiers shouted, "To defend our country, regardless of life or death!"
Today, these eight words have the same meaning, but are reversed.
Past events came flooding back to my mind.
Yan Yunshu suddenly thought of something.
She took the letter and ran out, shouting anxiously, "Grandfather! Grandfather!"
There was no one outside.
Hearing the noise coming from the front hall, Yan Yunshu immediately ran towards the front hall.
In the front hall, my grandmother and aunt stood facing each other.
Worried,
"Grandma, what happened?"
Yan Yunshu stopped in front of her grandmother, breathless, still clutching the letter in her hand, "Where's grandpa?"
Grandmother frowned and looked at Yan Yunshu, "Shu'er, the emperor has issued a secret and urgent decree. Your grandfather and your uncle are on their way to the palace now."
"Grandma, what happened? Do you know what happened?"
"Shu'er, the emperor issued a secret decree, and no one knows what happened!"
"Grandma, I want to see Xu Jinghuai!"
"It's late at night, and the journey is difficult and dangerous. If Shu'er needs to see you urgently, Grandmother can send someone to Huaiwang Mansion to invite His Highness over."
"good!"
Grandma's face froze.
She didn't expect that Yan Yunshu actually agreed.
While she ordered someone to deliver the letter to Prince Huai's Mansion as soon as possible, she asked Yan Yunshu.
"Shu'er, what happened?"
In a hurry, Yan Yunshu showed her grandmother the words on the back of the letter.
When my grandmother saw it, she was shocked.
She pulled Yan Yunshu aside.
"Shu'er, where did you get this line of words?"
"Grandma, this was included in the letter Xu Jingye sent me. It's on the back of the letter. Maybe he wrote it carelessly and he hasn't noticed it yet, or maybe he wrote it on purpose."
Grandma looked at the words in disbelief.
Protect the country and the family, regardless of life or death. Look at the white jade pendant again.
"Shu'er, it's a secret code." Grandmother hesitated to speak.
Yan Yunshu showed the contents of the letter to her grandmother again, "Grandmother, does Xu Jingye intend to collaborate with the enemy and put our Tianze soldiers and civilians in danger?"
Grandmother frowned.
I read the contents of the letter carefully.
Nodded.
"I'm afraid so... But besides that, the content of this letter, this Xu Jingye, between the lines, is asking you to return to him. He wants you to be rich and glorious, to be honored, and to ensure that you and your family are safe for the rest of your life!"
Yan Yunshu was stunned.
Grandmother hurriedly said, "Shu'er, don't believe him! Even if his intentions are sincere! Such a heartless act that disregards the entire city's people is unacceptable to us!!"
"I know."
Yan Yunshu decisively placed the letter on the candle flame, lit it, and hung it on the pale snow.
She threw the white jade pendant into the snow.
The black dots are particularly conspicuous among the white snow.
Old Madam Wen had deep eyes and a look of deep worry on her white-haired face.
But he still carefully comforted Yan Yunshu.
"Shu'er, take a rest for a while. I'll send someone to inform you when Xu Jinghuai arrives."
Yan Yunshu thought about the past few days and felt really exhausted.
My mood is up and down and I can't find peace.
So I agreed.
As she walked towards her yard, Old Madam Wen winked at the maid beside her.
…
Yan Yunshu leaned on the recliner, looking at the snow falling outside the window, quietly waiting for Xu Jinghuai to arrive.
Just smelling the pleasant incense made her body and mind extremely relaxed, and gradually, she fell asleep.
Wait until she wakes up.
She actually heard the sound of horse hooves.
There was also the sound of rolling wheels.
She stood up quickly.
I was surprised to find that I was in a carriage.
In one hand, he was holding a jade pendant.
One black and one white.
She didn't understand what was happening and was confused. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw her two cousins standing beside the carriage, riding tall horses and wearing huge cloaks.
Behind the carriage was a vast sea of snow and freight carts that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Winding all the way to the end of the snow.
"Cousin!! Cousin!!! What happened? Why am I here??? Where's grandma? Where's grandpa? Where's my aunt and uncle?"
Yan Yunshu asked a series of questions.
He shouted again, "Where's Xu Jinghuai!!!"
Last night, my grandmother agreed to let Xu Jinghuai come to see her. It's impossible for Xu Jinghuai to know and not come, but where is Xu Jinghuai? !
Where is Xu Jinghuai!!!
The eldest cousin Wen Tingfeng and the second cousin Wen Tingyun looked at her.
Shouting through the wind and snow.
"Shu'er, wait a minute. I'll tell you in detail at the inn ahead!"
Yan Yunshu was very uneasy. She was wrapped in her silver fox cloak, and in her arms was a warm and fluffy heater that someone had stuffed into her arms.
I was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
I can only look ahead, look behind, and look at my cousins from time to time.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the door of an inn in the suburbs.
Wen Tingfeng helped Yan Yunshu down from the carriage.
Yan Yunshu rushed into the inn and grabbed Wen Tingfeng's cloak, "Cousin, what's going on?"
The two cousins looked around cautiously and confirmed that no one was paying attention to them.
He asked the waiter for a dining compartment, carefully took off Yan Yunshu's cloak, shook off the snow and water on it, hung it up, and then whispered.
"Shu'er, the emperor has passed away!"
