22 Chapter 22 Consider
◎It seems that the elm and willow have not yet come to their senses◎
Yuliu had his back to Yunhe, so naturally he couldn't see Yunhe's expression.
But Yuliu felt her palms inexplicably warm when Su Yunyue looked at her with concern. She lowered her head and calmed down, feeling a little guilty. She took a deep breath and changed the subject, saying, "Sister, the Su family is in decline now. If anything happens to you and me, we sisters should naturally help and support each other. I just heard you say that the Fourth Prince is quite restrained towards you. Is he suspicious of you..."
Yuliu lowered her eyes as she spoke, her words landing on Su Yunyue's abdomen. Her meaning was clear even before she finished speaking, so she continued to advise, "Before, Li Shengshou came to my Yuqing Courtyard and said that you're in great danger. If you're worried, why not let Yunhe take a look? His medical skills are so impressive that even Li Shengshou would be impressed!"
Su Yunyue's doubts were completely dispelled by Yu Liu's words. She chuckled softly, patted Yu Liu's hand, and shook her head slightly, but her tone was desolate: "My problem is not that I'm sick, but that the Fourth Prince is too narrow-minded and always attaches too much importance to other people's opinions. Even though he knows that this baby is ours, he still insists on doing so. I have no choice..."
Yuliu also knew that this scumbag male protagonist was thinking this way.
By giving up the unborn baby in the belly of his partner, he could dispel the rumors cleanly and without any harm.
This abacus is really working.
But the Fourth Prince probably didn't know that if he really wanted to win Han Su Yunyue's heart for the sake of the people's support and had the abortion, this would become a rift between the two of them that could never be repaired.
Yuliu held Su Yunyue's warm palm and asked, "Since you said that, you must want to keep this baby, right?"
Su Yunyue was silent for a moment, but finally nodded slowly.
Yuliu didn't know whether Su Yunyue was considering the Fourth Prince's thoughts or planning for her own future when she was silent.
But Yuliu glanced at Yunhe and was about to ask if the Fourth Prince's wife could keep the baby safe if the baby was properly managed. However, Yunhe, upon receiving Yuliu's gaze, nodded in understanding before she could even speak, and made the final decision: "The Fourth Prince's wife's baby can be kept, and it's the best way to keep it."
After Yun He finished speaking, his gaze lingered on Yu Liu's calm face for a moment before he turned and looked up at the Fourth Prince's wife, whose face had turned slightly pale. His cautious demeanor as a doctor made his tone seem a little cold. With a hint of warning, he slowly said, "Fourth Prince's wife, if you miscarry again this time, given your physical condition... I'm afraid you won't be blessed with children in the future."
The incomplete perspective in the original text was filled in by Yunhe with just a few sentences.
No wonder Su Yunyue, who always had a soft spot for love in her heart and tried to give the Fourth Prince another chance, became tough and strong after being aborted by the Fourth Prince, and dared to resist and choose to escape from the constraints of the deep palace.
It turns out that a mother is strong.
What's more, this may be her only chance to have a child in her life!
If Yunhe didn't tell her, Yuliu wouldn't know about Su Yunyue's physical condition.
but……
Yuliu's eyes moved slightly, and she thought that perhaps even Su Yunyue herself didn't know her own condition.
Because the other party's raised eyebrows and slightly widened eyes showed too obvious shock.
Yuliu believed in Yunhe's medical skills, and also believed that given Yunhe's character, since he could make such a conclusion, what he said must be true.
It seems that whether or not the baby can be kept safe is the key turning point in achieving a happy ending.
"So what are you thinking, sister?" Yuliu held Su Yunyue's hand with her backhand and squeezed it a little harder, as if she wanted to give some courage to the heroine of the melodramatic and abusive novel through this action.
Yuliu, with a little selfish motive, made these suggestive gestures, then lowered her brows, sighed softly, and asked, "Since Sister has come to the palace with me today, I guess you have made up your mind, right?"
Yuliu sounded very melancholy, but she was not entirely melancholy because of Su Yunyue's choice.
She just felt a little strange.
Why is it that the carefree Fourth Prince clearly doesn't want this baby, while everyone, including Li Shengshou and myself who was pushed to this point by the plot, are all persuading Su Yunyue, who originally wanted to keep her child, to keep this baby?
Obviously, the way to directly negotiate with the Fourth Prince is to hit the pain point.
Yuliu felt that she might have been influenced by Yunhe, and she actually began to stand on her own side and started to think about the strategy of each game.
Countless fragments of the plot flashed rapidly in Yuliu's mind, and the final scene was always frozen on the winner, the male protagonist who was hidden behind all the plot lines and had everything going for him, including time, place, people and luck.
Compared with the male protagonist who hides behind the bloody storm and relies on luck to accumulate capital, did the female protagonists who have been nervous and sacrificed a lot along the way really get anything else except the illusory "happiness"?
Who exactly is the so-called "he ending" of that system for?
To the world and the system? To the hero and heroine?
Or is it... a perfect ending just for the male protagonist?
The bright sunshine poured down outside the window, and the spring breeze blew the unique candlelight and sandalwood fragrance of the palace into the room. However, Yuliu was shocked by the thought and felt a chill down her spine.
Su Yunyue didn't notice the turmoil in Yuliu's heart. She only smiled a faint smile at his encouragement. "No matter what happens to my health, I want to keep this child. After all, he is my own flesh and blood. But the Fourth Prince... doesn't seem to share the same sentiments."
Yuliu's mind was racing. She vaguely sensed that something was amiss. She suddenly wanted to unplug the long-offline system and get to the bottom of it. As a result, she only vaguely caught what Su Yunyue said: "...hmm."
Others may not notice anything unusual about Yuliu, but Yunhe, standing next to Yuliu, can clearly feel that the air pressure around Yuliu is very low. He leaned forward slightly and looked down at Yuliu, and sure enough, he saw that her eyes, which always flashed with intelligence, now had slightly dilated pupils and looked a little dazed and distracted.
I just felt that there were too many emotions churning in the depths of Yuliu's eyes, including shock and fear, loneliness and depression, and even more fear and suspicion.
Yunhe frowned.
What is she...thinking about?
Yunhe couldn't analyze it for a while.
He bent two fingers hidden in his sleeves and pressed against a point on the right side of Yuliu's spine where he concentrated his mind and energy. His fingertips rested lightly on the point and he pressed down with his knuckles.
Yuliu only felt that her slightly bent back was held back by a force, and when Yunhe landed on her back, a surge of heat suddenly burst out. With the support of Yunhe's finger, she slowly straightened her spine that was bent by her thoughts.
Yunhe withdrew his hand at the right time.
Yuliu's heartbeat suddenly became like thunder. He suddenly came back to his senses, raised his eyelids and looked at Su Yunyue's slightly hesitant eyes, and forced himself to suppress his inappropriate thoughts just now: "...What, what happened?"
Su Yunyue was originally facing Yuliu. She just vaguely felt that something seemed to have happened between the two people opposite her just now. After hearing this, her gaze subconsciously drifted towards Yunhe.
Although her hand was held tightly by Yuliu just now, she suddenly felt at a certain moment that her sister, who was holding her hands, seemed to become ethereal in the depths of her soul, as if she would disappear from her sight at any time.
But that feeling came too quickly, and before Su Yunyue could confirm it, Yunhe, who had been low-key and introverted since entering the door, suddenly leaned towards Yuliu. His movements were very gentle and subtle, but the aura lingering around him was very strong.
It seemed to be even more oppressive than when the Fourth Prince looked at him coldly.
Su Yunyue vaguely thought it was her own illusion.
Because when she blinked again, the two people, covered in the setting sun outside the window, were still the same peach blossoms leaning against the green bamboo.
She glanced between Yuliu and Yunhe for a moment, but ultimately could not see anything unusual. It was as if that fleeting thought was just an illusion caused by her being too sensitive recently.
but……
Is it really an illusion?
Su Yunyue couldn't confirm what interaction had occurred between the two of them that she hadn't noticed, but she was absolutely certain that at that moment she wanted to let go of the hand that Yuliu was holding.
She seemed unable to intervene in the silent communication between Yuliu and Yunhe, as if the two of them had already formed their own world.
Even when she held Yuliu's hand, it seemed to destroy this harmony.
Su Yunyue suddenly hesitated, wondering if the request she was going to make would disturb the daily interactions between Yuliu and Yunhe.
But she really didn't have anyone she could trust in a foreign country, so after weighing the pros and cons, Su Yunyue finally said hesitantly:
"Since my sister had already met Jiang Jingmo when she came here, she must have guessed that the Fourth Prince probably had concerns about this aspect when he acted this way. I know that I am already married, and it is indeed somewhat impolite to keep him by my side all the time. It is likely to attract criticism, and I am afraid that the result of this will not be good for anyone. So... I would like to ask you, can you let Jiang Jingmo stay in your Yuqing Courtyard for a while to avoid the limelight?"
Such an open and honest attitude with a clear conscience, such a sharp and sharp way of letting go when facing difficulties, otherwise why would Su Yunyue be the heroine?
The problem lies with the opposite sex. If they stay, it is to repay the kindness of helping in times of crisis, and if they leave, it is to preserve the reputation of all of them. It is a fictitious thing that there is no wind out of the ground. If they act in this way, I think the rumors will slowly dissipate naturally in the near future.
"Jiang Jingmo and I have a connection, so don't worry, sister." Yu Liu agreed without hesitation. "Since he is your savior, I will definitely not treat him unfairly if he lives in my Yuqing Courtyard."
Helping Su Yunyue resolve the rumors is one thing, but Yuliu is considering something more far-reaching.
She wanted to get the villain's most powerful general under her nose as soon as possible. She wanted to see if she could follow the clues to find out Jiang Jingmo's master.
The villain's origin and name are unknown, and he is like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail. However, whenever the Fourth Prince is blessed with good fortune and gains a lot, this villain will inevitably be cruel and secretly give the Fourth Prince a bunch of more difficult troubles, repeatedly forcing this son of fortune in the original novel into life-and-death situations.
The most ruthless thing the villain did was to send troops into the Xiao Kingdom's imperial city, forcing the Fourth Prince to break one of his legs!
The Fourth Prince, who had always lived a life of luxury, was so conceited that when he suddenly became disabled, he was completely unable to reconcile with his inner inferiority. So, under the pull of extreme pride and conceit, he suddenly became irritable and irritable.
——And the person who was most tormented by such negative emotions was Su Yunyue, who was forcibly imprisoned by the Fourth Prince.
Yuliu must avoid such a situation, and the fastest way is to directly dig out the true identity of the villain behind the scenes so as not to let the protagonist be completely attacked from all sides.
Yuliu agreed so quickly that Su Yunyue was stunned for a moment: "You... won't think about it again?"
"Leave Jiang Jingmo to me, sister. Don't worry." Yu Liu knew that a sister as proud as Yunyue wouldn't have said this to her unless she truly had no one to trust. She gently patted Su Yunyue's hand to comfort her, then tilted her head slightly, a little puzzled. "Is there something else you want me to consider? Is there something else you want to say?"
Su Yunyue looked at Yuliu with innocent eyes, and caught Yunhe's frown for a moment out of the corner of her eye, but it relaxed back to normal in just a moment.
This reaction seemed like a surprise at Yuliu's answer, but he was helpless because he couldn't clearly state his position.
Su Yunyue pursed her lips and fell silent.
From her perspective as an outsider, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be somewhat connected. If she said that there was nothing going on at all, that was absolutely impossible, but if she had to say that there was really something going on, it didn't seem like it.
At least her sister now seems like she hasn't fully understood.
However, Mr. Yun seemed to be quite attentive to his sister.
Su Yunyue sighed, and all her words turned into a helpless sound: "Forget it."
No one in the game has broken free yet, and it would be inconvenient for her, an outsider watching the show, to step in and disrupt other people's fate.
Yuliu smiled, but she was suspicious inside:
What's wrong? Jiang Jingmo is just a small border guard in Chu State now. Can he really cause any big waves in Xiao State?
What is my sister worried about as she sighs so deeply?
Yuliu Yunhe and Su Yunyue, the three of them fell silent for a moment, each with their own thoughts.
In the end, it was Yun He who broke the strange and awkward silence. He raised his right hand slightly and handed the food box he had been holding to Yu Liu. In a voice as gentle as jade, he reminded her, "Miss Yu, this is the gift you brought specially for the Fourth Prince's wife..."
"Ah... Sister, look at my memory..." Yu Liu had been taken care of by Yun He all the way, and she almost forgot about the main business of entering the palace while chatting. After being reminded by Yun He, she suddenly smiled and covered her mouth with her hands, "Look."
The snow rabbit usually jumps three feet high, but today, no matter whether it is facing Yunhe or Su Yunyue, it sits on the food box with its drooping ears pressed against its furry body, looking well-behaved and cute.
Su Yunyue's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it for me?"
"Well, since I can't be in the palace every day to accompany you, I specially raised a rabbit. I want it to keep you company. I hope you like it." Seeing Su Yunyue holding the snow rabbit in her arms, unable to let it go, Yu Liu smiled and continued, "But do you still remember that the Fourth Prince sent a maid named Yumei to my Yuqing Courtyard? She is very skillful and makes snacks every day to make me happy. I think the quality is quite good, so I brought it to the palace to satisfy your craving, just for fun."
When Yuliu spoke, she always habitually stared into the other person's eyes and smiled. While talking to Su Yunyue, she raised her hand to take the food box from Yunhe.
The handle of the food box was about two palms wide, but in order to prevent the snacks in the box from getting scattered, Yunhe held it in the middle. However, Yuliu was sitting sideways, so there was only a small area for her to move when she reached out.
Close your five fingers together.
The soft and white fingertips of Elm and Willow were holding the food box and basket at the same time as Yunhe's slender little finger tailbone.
The fingertips rub against it and it feels warm.
A gentle spring breeze blew in from outside the window, and the hair tips were slightly lifted. The skin of the two people touching seemed to be stimulated by a tingling electric current, flowing along the fingertips and into the atrium.
Yuliu suddenly didn't dare to look up and look into Yunhe's eyes.
