Chapter 68 The Clouds Never Stop
After several days of thunderstorms, the sky finally cleared up, the sky, the grass, and even the flowers became bright and new.
Seeing such a beautiful scene, Yun Zhuan should be happy both physically and mentally, but she was uneasy and worried.
I can never find the root cause.
These past few days, I went to pay my respects to Empress Yuan. She sometimes looked sympathetic and always seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Every time Yun Zhuan asked about it, the Empress Yuan denied it and changed the subject to other things. Yun Zhuan didn't dare to ask further because it would make him look stubborn.
Banban has been working hard to collect evidence of the Zheng family's crimes over the past two days. Banban's men have found a lot of secret letters between the Hu family and the Zheng family alone.
Some of the embezzled silver was also recovered.
The underground secret room was almost thoroughly investigated by Banban. The Hu family had covered up many cases over the years, and the final amount of money sorted out was an astronomical figure.
It was enough to cover the tax revenue of the entire Yuan Dynasty for half a year.
If Emperor Yuan knew about this, there would be a bloody storm of anti-corruption efforts.
Ever since Concubine Su Gui had Princess Jiayin, Yun Zhuan, adhering to the principle that children are not sensible, has counselled Concubine Su Gui on many occasions. As a result, Concubine Su Gui no longer dislikes Princess Jiayin as much as before.
Besides, Princess Jiayin didn't remember much, and all the wet nurses and maids around her had been replaced, so no one dared to gossip in front of Princess Jiayin and Concubine Su.
Last time, Duhuo intercepted the eldest princess' letter, allowing Yun Zhuan to discover a new name.
Wujin Gyatso.
They were not like people from the Central Plains. What they talked about were nothing more than the eldest princess's pastimes in the Yuan Kingdom, or interesting things among the people. On the surface, there seemed to be nothing special.
Yun Zhi'an was deep in thought, and he intuitively felt that Princess Yuanqi had a special feeling towards Wu Jin Gyatso.
What’s special is that this princess was the only one sent on a diplomatic mission to Biansha when she was eight or nine years old.
Yun Zhuan had no idea what had happened in the early years.
"Lady Zheng is also anxious, but I have already intercepted the letters that Lady Zheng asked someone to send out." Duhuo showed Yun Zhuan a few letters.
Yun Zhen'an was very flexible in arranging personnel. There were definitely spies of Empress Yuan and Emperor Yuan in the harem. Since there was no way to avoid them, he could only work hard on himself.
The warden of the imperial prison was reported for accepting bribes, lost his job, was beaten with sticks, and handed over all his property, only then was he able to save his wife and children.
"You haven't given up yet?" Yun Yu'an sneered and threw the letters on the table. "Deal with it. Also, ask Wu Yi to take good care of the Ye family and don't let Master Ye suffer any injustice in prison."
The new warden is Wu Yi.
Yun Ju'an had thought about rescuing the Ye family's entire family through Wu Yi. Wu Yi knew the origins of the Ye and Yun families, and he also made a loyal statement to Yun Ju'an, willing to gamble his own future on this occasion.
But now she is still immature, and any move could affect her entire body, even just this once, she will take the gamble.
If the bet is lost, more lives may be involved.
She is responsible for the people who are loyal to her, and even more so for the Ye family.
"Didn't you ask someone to keep an eye on the Zheng family's favorite concubine?" Yun Ju'an asked, "What's going on?"
Duhuo pondered for a moment and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong. The Zheng family doesn't seem to have changed at all. It seems that they don't know what happened in the palace at all."
"Because of this incident, His Majesty postponed the selection of concubines, saying that he was uneasy because of the war on the border. It would not be too late to hold the selection after the army returned to the capital. All the concubines were raised in Chuxiu Palace to learn the rules of concubines."
Yun Yu'an tapped the teacup lightly, his eyes lazy, and leaned on Taohua: "Let Banban go faster."
She couldn't wait to hold a funeral for both the Zheng and Shen families.
Duhuo lowered his head and retreated.
Yun Zhuan's hand caressed the peach blossoms intermittently: "I'll take you out for a walk later. You've become quiet after being locked up in the bamboo garden."
The peach blossom tail fluttered in the air and then gently landed on the couch.
That night.
Duhuo followed Yun Ju'an with a lamp in his hand, while Taohua led the way in front of Yun Ju'an.
On both sides, there were the sounds of late summer insects, and I seemed to hear the sounds of frogs.
The side of Yu Lake is a good place to watch the moon. The clouds stayed there at first, and soon they completely covered the moon. After a while, there was not even a trace of clouds to be found.
Yun Zhuan waved his hands and asked Duhuo to stand further away. He took a ball as big as two small hands made of rope and filled with wheat grass, and planned to have fun with Taohua.
After leaving the palace, I will set up a yard specifically for Taohua to play.
The man and the leopard were having fun when Yun Ju'an suddenly heard someone talking.
After making a quiet gesture to Taohua, the man and the leopard moved towards the source of the sound.
One of them was wearing a cobalt blue robe, and the other was wearing a purple robe. I could just see his face in the moonlight. They seemed familiar, and his handsome face was as handsome as Lu Zhe's.
She didn't know either of them.
But I could vaguely hear something about Xie, Yun, and going to the capital, and they also asked what his plans were.
As he couldn't hear clearly, Yun Zhuan wanted to get closer, but he accidentally stepped on a dead branch.
“Crack—”
A crisp sound made Yun Zhuan's body unstable, and his brain was working rapidly: "Taohua, catch it——"
The next moment, he continued to throw the ball, slipped on the round tree branches, and rushed towards the person in the purple robe.
The woven ball flew into the air with the help of the wind, just in time to face the moonlight.
Taohua exerted all her strength with her hind legs and half of her body flew into the air. She rolled over in the air, with the ball in her mouth, drooling, shining brightly in the air.
Yun Ju'an couldn't help but curse in his heart.
This peach blossom, why doesn’t it save its master first!
It's considered a waste of money.
Because of fear, the little face was exposed miserably in front of the night and the two people.
It looked like it was about to hit me, and no matter who I was, it would be unavoidable to suffer the pain.
The man in purple had no choice but to grab Yun Zhuan's waist and use the force to turn around a few times on the spot before he got rid of the remaining force.
The man in purple stopped steadily and used the wind to slow down his breathing.
[Where did this little girl come from? It was the middle of the night, and I thought it was now. I almost touched the hidden weapon in my hand! Fortunately, fortunately! ]
Yun Zhuan felt dizzy. After hearing the voice in his heart, he quickly maintained his courtesy and posture and kept his distance.
"Yun Ju'an...Yuling, no, thank you, kind man!" Yun Ju'an turned around and gulped, his little face flushed.
The man in purple then realized that he seemed to have seen this girl in Yu Garden last time?
He and the man in blue exchanged a glance. The man in blue understood what he meant and turned around before disappearing into the moonlight.
The purple-robed man handed the folded handkerchief with an iris tail embroidered on it to Yun Zhuan: "Miss Yun."
Yun Zhuan had his back to the person and tried to grab the target several times but failed.
The man in purple had probably never seen a girl like this before. He sighed and stuffed the handkerchief into the girl's hand.
[If all the girls in the capital were as lovely as this, it would be interesting to marry one of them.]
When I met her before, we had no intersection.
This time it’s good.
We ran into each other again in the middle of the night.
Yun Zhu calmed down and came to his senses, looking a little embarrassed: "My cat has caused trouble for you, Master."
"Your cat?" The purple-clothed man looked at the "cat" that was almost as tall as the little girl and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Are you sure?"
Yun Zhuan smiled coldly in his heart, but his face was still a little embarrassed and he changed the subject: "I wonder if you respect me, sir?"
"Yuan Ting, courtesy name Feiqing." Yuan Ting smiled, his face looked pale and sick, his eyes were full of unknown meaning.
Where have the drifting clouds gone in a few days? The wind never stops as spring draws to a close.
Hurry up and collect it, give me the votes
