23 Chapter 23 In Your Arms
◎Behind Yuliu, there is only a Yunhe◎
Yuliu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yunhe. The tips of her outstretched fingers curled up and then retracted.
There were only three people in the huge and empty palace: Yuliu, Yunhe and Su Yunyue. Yuliu's sudden action of withdrawing her hand instantly attracted the attention of the two people beside her.
Su Yunyue paused teasing the snow rabbit, confused, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Yuliu pulled the corners of her mouth, trying to put on her habitual smile, but she felt as if her fingertips were burned by fire, and the heat made the corners of her mouth stiffen. "Nothing, it's just..."
What is it?
Elm and willow can't say.
Was it a reaction of surprise that he didn't hold the lunch box basket?
It doesn't seem so.
But Yuliu didn't dare to think about other possibilities.
Yuliu suddenly became a little restless, so she stood up with her skirt pressed down, and turned sideways to avoid Yunhe's sight.
This time, she carefully observed the place where she could hold the food box basket, and found that the food box was very large. Even though Yunhe had held it in the middle before, there was still plenty of space on the left and right sides.
Yuliu became more and more annoyed and gritted her teeth in embarrassment.
I really don't know where her mind was just now.
With so many places to put her hands, how could she accidentally touch Yun He's hand?
Although she saw that Yunhe didn't seem to have any overreaction, in fact, Yunhe was always calm and polite when facing her most of the time.
Yuliu didn't know what Yunhe would think of her actions just now.
But if this hidden and subtle touch was not explained, Yuliu would feel like her heart was on fire.
But if she tried to explain it, it would seem like she had something to hide.
Yuliu maintained a calm exterior, but her mind was racing, fearing that something might go wrong again. She stared at the food box with a sharp gaze, took it with a somewhat awkward movement, and placed it on the table next to Su Yunyue, saying:
"Sister, we in Song Kingdom don't like spicy food like Xiao Kingdom. These snacks are all made by Yumei herself and they tend to be sweet. I thought you would like them, so I specially gave them to you to try."
"Sweets?" Su Yunyue raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard it, and seemed to be really happy. She looked at Yuliu with anticipation. Seeing Yuliu nodded, she lifted the lid of the food box a little, and immediately the sweet fragrance came to her nose.
Su Yunyue closed her eyes, sniffed the air, and laughed, "Sister, you are so thoughtful. Every meal in this palace has spicy food. It's rare to find such a flavor."
"Really? I'm glad I like it, sister." Yuliu smiled lightly. "Although Yumei is a bit aggressive in my Yuqing Courtyard, she's quite good at making sweets. Now I'm offering it to you, sister, so it can be considered as a token of my gratitude."
Yuliu looked through the carved window behind Su Yunyue at Jiang Jingmo practicing boxing in the outer courtyard. She suddenly lowered her voice and hinted, "But sister, you are pregnant now. For safety reasons, it is best to find a professional doctor to test the poison before taking anything into your mouth. Otherwise, if something goes wrong..."
Yuliu came today, firstly to find out the truth of the rumor, and secondly, to use Yumei's eating habits to borrow Su Yunyue's channels in the palace and let the Fourth Prince personally deal with this treacherous person.
Let her be destroyed where she came from.
Now that Su Yunyue also needs her help, the two sisters can be considered as helping each other.
Yuliu's reminder reached this point. She tapped the food box suggestively with her slender white hand and stopped there: "As for the matter that my sister entrusted Jiang Jingmo to me, just rest assured."
"I understand." Su Yunyue was a woman of great intelligence and experience, so she naturally understood these secret codes. She raised her eyes, exchanged a glance with Yuliu, and nodded in understanding. "The same goes for my sister. You must be more careful when you go out."
"Well... However, today's situation was so sudden that this small gift is really not very good. I will definitely prepare something nice for you next time I come to the palace for the Flower Festival." Yu Liu was quite confident in Su Yunyue's work. Seeing that they had talked about most of what they needed to say, he said, "It's getting late now, as the sun is about to set. I won't bother you any more while you recuperate and take care of your pregnancy."
Yuliu and Yunhe bowed at the same time and said in unison, "Goodbye."
Su Yunyue looked at the two people moving in sync, smiled and nodded, but when she heard the sound of the golden bell tied to her hand, her eyes inevitably became a little lonely again.
The words of farewell were on the tip of his tongue, but suddenly turned into a plea to stay: "Since it's getting late, why don't you stay here and have dinner with me before leaving?"
Yuliu was slightly stunned as she stood up: "...Sister?"
"Yangzhu County has been plagued by frequent floods over the years, and plague broke out after the disaster. This situation is somewhat similar to what the Fourth Prince once dealt with, so His Majesty has sent him to personally provide disaster relief and deal with the aftermath of the flood. I don't think he will be back for some time."
Su Yunyue smiled dumbly at Yuliu, then looked at the empty bedroom and said a little embarrassedly, "Why don't you two stay here and just... keep me company?"
Su Yunyue said that she invited them to accompany her, and she really did.
Because the food in the palace really did not suit the taste of the Chu people, they only ate a symbolic amount of red soup, red oil, chili sauce, and elm willows. Most of the time they just drank a little soup and talked to each other for fun.
As they talked more and more, Yuliu gradually discovered that Su Yunyue could not eat anything spicy. If the silver chopsticks got a little red on them, she would frown uncomfortably and cough in a low voice.
Yuliu suddenly frowned.
She didn't like taking bitter medicine, but Yunhe always promised her, "If you don't like it, don't take it," without any coercion or insistence.
But Su Yunyue is already feeling so uncomfortable, why is the Fourth Prince still unwilling to cater to the tastes of the Fourth Prince's concubine?
When Yuliu walked out of the palace, he looked up at the moon with sorrow.
I thought the prerequisite for liking someone was at least respect, but I didn’t expect it could also be “I think you like it, so you have to like it.”
...that's all.
Xiao Tianmin and Su Yunyue, one is tough and the other is gentle. Whether they are suitable for each other or not, the world and the system will make their own judgment.
It's not her turn as a worker to worry about it.
So, Yuliu restrained her unnecessary thoughts, but in the end she couldn't help but glanced at Yunhe with a little melancholy.
Yun He seemed to sense something, lowered his head and stared as he left, reminding him, "Be careful with the steps."
Upon hearing this, Yuliu lowered her eyes and saw that she was indeed standing at the edge of the stairs. She sighed with mixed feelings.
"What's wrong?" Yun He followed Yu Liu down the stairs, listening to the faint sighs mixed in with the night wind, and couldn't help but frowning slightly. "After a reunion dinner, why are you still not happy?"
Yuliu was stunned when he heard this, and touched the corner of his mouth. Only then did he realize that he had just sighed out his inner thoughts.
She felt a little embarrassed, but the darkness of the night hid this subtle change. "...Is it that obvious?"
Yun He looked at Yu Liu and suddenly laughed: "Why should we care whether it's obvious or not?"
Yuliu walked down the steps and looked at Jiang Jingmo, who was guarding the palace gate. She suddenly slowed down her pace and blinked. For a moment, she didn't react to what Yunhe meant. Her chest trembled slightly, and she hummed in a nasal sound: "...Hmm?"
"Joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear—being born as a human being naturally has seven emotions and six desires."
Yunhe looked at Yuliu with a slight movement in his eyes. After a moment, he raised his hand and gently placed it on Yuliu's slender shoulder. He pinched it lightly with two fingers, almost without touching Yuliu's collar.
Yuliu could only hear the rustling of the night wind, and then Yunhe's bony fingers appeared before her eyes:
——A thin and slender willow leaf was pinched on the slender fingertips.
The elm and willow trees stood in the night wind. It seemed that the wind that blew from all directions just now had blown a fallen willow leaf from the distance onto her shoulder.
Yunhe's bony hands twisted the end of the willow leaf, as if just to tell Yuliu the purpose of his action. When Yuliu saw it, he loosened his grip.
In the evening breeze, the willow leaves are like green boats, spinning and floating away into the distance.
He looked at the direction where the willow leaf drifted and said slowly, "Excessive desires and a heart without desire will make it difficult to survive in this world. Excessive emotions and obsession will lead to extremes. These are not desirable."
Yun He withdrew his hand, stood beside Yu Liu with his hands behind his back, and continued to walk with Yu Liu out of the palace. "Before, when I told you to follow your heart, I hoped that you wouldn't be too suppressed and wouldn't always intentionally restrain your inner feelings."
As he spoke, Yun He suddenly stopped, tilted his head and lowered his eyes to focus on Yu Liu's shoulder. His clear voice was mixed with the night wind: "Sometimes I feel..."
Yunhe sometimes felt that Yuliu seemed to be living for others.
Fighting for others and abandoning one's own original intention.
But he also took into consideration that Su Yunyue was Yuliu's eldest sister, so he changed his words: "But you have to know that you can express your emotions."
Yuliu's steps, which were taken out of inertia, suddenly stopped. She felt that the night wind blowing around her seemed to have taken shape at that moment, converging from all directions to this place, forming a tiny circle of wind around them.
The silver tassels on her head were blown and collided, making a subtle sound like the sound of a frozen spring, each sound striking the tip of Yuliu's heart. Her half-closed eyes suddenly opened, her pupils dilated, and she tucked her flowing black hair behind her ear. Her fingertips trembled lightly, holding down the hem of her skirt that was blown by the wind. She turned around and stared straight at Yunhe: "What did you just say?"
The elms and willows are exposed to the wind, and when the cool evening breeze blows across my eyelashes, I suddenly feel dazed for a moment.
yes.
When did she start to become a tool of the plot, accustomed to using a masked appearance to disguise her inner self, thus gradually losing her desire to express herself?
Her emotions are expressive.
Why did it take Yunhe's reminder for her to realize such a simple truth?
Yuliu's fingertips suddenly felt cold, and she gathered them up in her wide sleeves. For the first time, she began to think about whether the existence of the system was a chance for rebirth for her, or a destruction that would lead to annihilation.
The last time the system appeared was when she was about to go to bed at night, when she was alone.
During the time Yunhe was by her side, it seemed that the system had not appeared by her side for a long time to urge the progress of the plot line.
...Could this be a coincidence?
The lonely moon hanging high in the night sky and the green shadow of Yunhe in front of her were reflected in Yuliu's eyes, as if Yunhe was holding the faint candlelight to illuminate her dark eyes.
The wind stopped and the trees stilled, and the tangled sleeves that had been blown by the wind calmed down and fell to the ground with a slight sway. Yuliu raised her head and looked back at Yunhe with an ambiguous glimmer in her eyes.
Yun He's expression remained normal. He leaned towards Yu Liu under the lonely moon, bending down to get closer. Only then could she see the corners of his lips slightly raised in the remaining moonlight. As his thin lips moved, he said:
"You know."
——You know what I just said.
——You heard it.
There was a tide in Yuliu's mind. She vaguely heard Yunhe's voice pushing aside the curtain of water. Her thoughts were surging in her heart. She didn't know whether Yunhe's tone was too meaningful or she was too used to thinking too much.
There are so many people around her, no matter if it is Fangyue, Yumei, Li Shengshou, or Su Yunyue, no matter if they are real or fake, everyone feels that Yuliu always has a smiling face and is polite and friendly.
No one felt that her emotions were hidden, not even Yuliu herself.
How did Yunhe notice it?
Yuliu looked at Yunhe with a complicated expression. She felt the night wind blowing on her face, as if blowing away her voice: "You..."
"What are you...standing here for?"
The moonlight was lonely, and suddenly a powerful shout came from behind. Yuliu was already in a state of uncertainty, and was immediately frightened. She turned around and saw Jiang Jingmo's face, which was dark and gloomy in the light. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she let out a short cry of surprise. She took several steps back, trying to get away from the pale and terrifying light and shadow face.
But behind Yuliu, there was only Yunhe.
With this retreat, he retreated directly into Yunhe's arms.

When Jiang Jinmu was punished on the top of Kunlun Mountain for a mistake in a sentence, he accidentally became a puppet of a person who was rumored to be taboo.
According to the rumors, that person was full of evil bones and evil thoughts. Because he caused her master to fail in overcoming the divine tribulation five hundred years ago, he almost became a demon. He was besieged by all the sects and was finally imprisoned in the Xuanbing Formation.
Everyone says that if this taboo is still alive, once he enters the world, he will probably go crazy and want to kill all the gods and people in the world!
Jiang Jinmu had asked curiously, "If he kills all living things, who will be left for him to amuse himself with?"
Later she found out.
His entertainment can also be the puppets he makes himself.
·
Pei Qinchao had been imprisoned for a hundred years, and he was convinced that she was his puppet and his property.
So she should stay by his side forever, with only him in her heart and eyes, and live and die together.
He didn't mind cutting off her hands and feet, gouging out her eyes and breaking her heart to keep her.
·
Jiang Jinmu was a free spirit by nature, and truly felt that this immortal sect's taboo was insane and mentally ill:
"I have legs for running!"
"Even if you dig out my eyes, you won't be able to enter my eyes!"
"You're not even my Taoist partner, yet you want to trick me into committing suicide for love?"
#After I became the forbidden puppet of the Immortal Sect, I made him cry#
【Secrets of the Immortal Gate】
Question: Is the Immortal Sect’s taboo caused by being locked up for five hundred years and feeling lonely?
A: No, he really reflected on himself. A hundred years ago, he fell into deity and killed immortals for love. That was really crazy.

Qingqing is the most envied maid in the general's mansion.
She was as delicate and tender as a piece of jade, and her figure was 70% similar to that of the legitimate daughter. So, apart from slacking off every day, she slacked off.
Go to the school for the young lady - take the opportunity to sleep;
Go to the palace banquet and poetry party on behalf of the young lady - take the opportunity to eat;
To marry the young lady to the prince...
Qingqing silently picked up the package and prepared to run away.
That person is the Jade-faced Rakshasa Chen Daishi! She doesn't want to marry in his place, okay?
If you fall asleep during class or eat snacks secretly, he will laugh at you. If you attend a palace banquet, you will be kidnapped and forced to survive in the wilderness.
It's never good when they bump into each other, it seems they will be bullied after they get married QWQ

At first, he was quite prejudiced against the girl in his class.
Her voice is soft and she has no ambition to make progress. No one knows why she can win the favor of those nerds and make them come here to show their affection every day.
It's noisy and annoying, and he doesn't like it.
Until the day of escaping marriage, the two met on a narrow road
Qingqing firmly refused: "My Lord, I will escape my marriage and you will escape yours. This time we will split up into two groups."
He waited in silence for a moment, then suddenly unpacked the bag he had prepared and said:
"I brought your favorite Xufu cakes, chestnut and cherry crisps. You want... ah, the wind is so strong—what did you say about splitting up?"
Qingqing licked her lips: "No, brother, you heard it wrong, I said you divide me."

When Shu's father was thrown into jail for his wrongdoing, his stepmother finally remembered that there was a seductive woman in the family who was quite favored by the Xie family.
So regardless of Shu Tang's engagement, he gave her to Xie Huai.
Be a concubine
The Xie family has been a family of nobles for generations, and Xie Huai is the only son. His unique capital of arrogance has made him both noble and reckless.
He was not a kind person to be trusted with his life, so this has ruined his life.
Shu Tang didn't sleep all night, but he figured it out that night.
She married.
The Shu family treated her so cruelly, so she didn't want to be a dignified and self-respecting official lady anymore. She wanted to seduce the emperor and grab this pitiful favor to climb up.
So, under the red silk tent, they rubbed each other's ears. When they could no longer suppress their emotions, Shu Tangwu's eyes were full of tears. She hooked her jade hands around the man's sweaty neck and called out charmingly and emotionally: "Huai Lang..."
It was sealed with a passionate kiss.
Shu Tang abandoned her reserve and blossomed to the fullest in the entanglement.
And Xie Huai seemed to have become a little different. He was silent and fierce, but he would also protect her from the wind and rain.
Life there is much more comfortable than that of the Shu family.
Shu Tangsu would endure it, thinking that it was okay to just go on with life like this.
If she hadn't discovered that the real only son of the Xie family had his legs broken by her nominal husband and was imprisoned in a water dungeon under the house.
Shu Tang was horrified that the comfort he had worked so hard for was all a disguise.
So she escaped
