Chapter 70 Return Home

Su Yu'an couldn't bear to see Yun Ju'an's expression, and she didn't mind that Yun Ju'an had stained her clothes.

He got off the horse first, then picked up Yun Zhuan like a child and rubbed her little head: "Go."

[Jiaojiao, don't be afraid, I'm always here. 】

There is not a single extra word.

Yun Zhuan ran towards Wu'an Marquis's Mansion with sobs, turned back halfway, and threw himself into Su Yue'an's arms again:

"Yuan'an, thank you."

Then he ran towards Wu'an Hou without slacking off for a moment.

The palace was brightly lit, and Yun Ju'an entered in plain clothes.

The coffin was placed in the hall.

Madam Xie knelt in front of the coffin and seemed to have fallen asleep due to exhaustion. The servants and maids beside her were probably also sent down to sleep.

After all, when you wake up tomorrow morning, there will be more things to do.

The Yun family is not an ordinary family, so there will be many people coming to pay their respects.

However, the Yun family has become increasingly powerless in the court in recent years, and many ministers are observing whether the Yun family still has face in front of His Majesty.

Whether or not one has military power does not seem to be the focus of their observation.

Now that Xie Bingzhen is carrying the coffin back to the capital, there are rumors along the way that it doesn't matter whether it is the seventh day or not, as the delay on the road has exceeded seven days.

Yun Zhuan stared blankly at the portrait displayed in the hall, tears streaming down his face.

She had a vague feeling that her uncle was not dead yet, and was waiting in the study to check her homework, and maybe even criticize her:

"Jiaojiao, the rhythm of this poem is not in order. It doesn't look like a noble lady from the capital."

Yun Ju'an would act coquettishly and confuse her uncle's eyes: "I know, I know, I will definitely do it next time!"

Too bad there won't be a next time.

Xie Bingzhen had been traveling all the way and was ill, so she was naturally tired. But this time, she felt that someone was watching her.

Open your eyes and take a look.

The originally cute and lovely little girl was already standing in the hall.

Tears rolled down his cheeks as his eye sockets were red and swollen and his face was pale from the wind.

"Thank you, auntie..." Yun Zhuan stood there with a sad and crying voice.

He suppressed his tears and sorrow, and buttoned the corners of his clothes with his hands to control his emotions.

She knew that Aunt Xie must be very sad, and she didn't want to make her feel sad anymore.

Only in front of the Yun family does she act like a real child.

Xie Bingzhen stood up, her arms and legs felt a little sore: "Jiao Jiao..."

The words were spoken very softly, like a gust of wind that dissipated before reaching mid-air.

"Aunt Xie." Yun Ju'an stood there for a long while, and as if unable to suppress his emotions, he threw himself into Xie Bingzhen's arms.

Xie Bingzhen held the little girl in his arms.

It was clearly deep summer, but I was filled with the chill of the night; even my hands were cold.

[Jiaojiao must have suffered a lot in the palace, right? ]

"Jiaojiao, are you cold?" Xie Bingzhen held Yun Jue and sat on the futon, leaning against the coffin, his eyes full of pity.

[Knocking on the palace gate at night will surely cause His Majesty's displeasure.]

[Trapped in the palace, without freedom. 】

Even though she didn't raise the little girl herself, there was still a bond of affection between the two of them. Moreover, Yun Ju'an lost her mother when she was young, so this kind of sympathy always existed.

"I heard that Aunt Xie brought my uncle back, so I left the palace." Yun Zhuan let Xie Bingzhen hold her, "Aunt, are you very sad?"

Xie Bingzhen lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in his arms. She seemed to have lost weight.

Because I was angry with Yun Huai, I ignored the little girl. It was her fault.

"Don't be sad, auntie." Xie Bingzhen was crying without realizing it. "Your uncle did it for the Yuan Kingdom. Auntie doesn't blame him."

Yun Zhuan could hear the sadness and grief in the words, and wiped Xie Bingzhen's tears with her little hands: "Auntie, don't be sad..."

But I couldn't help crying.

Xie Bingzhen took out a letter with blood stains on it and forced a smile:

"Jiaojiao, look, your uncle still kept the family letter..."

Yun Ju'an reached out to take it, opened the letter, and found it was already stained with blood.

She happily wrote letters to her grandfather and uncle, telling them about her naughty childhood and hoping that they would take the Yun family to heart and return home safely.

However, instead of waiting for the Yun family to return to the capital, he received the news of his uncle's death.

Wait until his body is returned to Beijing.

A living person can only lie in a cold coffin in just three to five months.

Everything that Yun Zhuan tried so hard to change seemed to be going along the same track in the end, adding to the sadness.

"Jiaojiao, it's okay. Aunt Xie will go home from now on." Xie Bingzhen hugged Yun Juan tightly, "Aunt Xie will take care of you from now on."

There was a strong wind outside, and the branches of the trees were flying everywhere.

A chill swept across the entire Yun family.

Imperial Palace, Xuanzheng Hall.

Emperor Yuan did not sleep all night. He sat at his desk, his mind restless.

Shang Defang stepped forward and broke the silence:

"Your Majesty, it's already the second watch, why don't you rest early?"

Emperor Yuan ignored it and stared at the inkstone.

Polished with finest stone, the edges are delicate and smooth.

It was originally given to him by Yun Rui.

When he was sent off, Yun Rui was drinking tea with him in Yu Garden. The two talked about their children at home. It was more comfortable than the sharp confrontation with the problems in the court.

Yun Rui took a sip of tea and said, "Yun Huai was the child that my elder brother once admired the most. His ability on the battlefield is far better than that of me and my elder brother in our youth."

Yun Rui’s elder brother is named Yun Wei.

Once a fierce general who made surrounding enemy countries tremble in fear, Yun Wei's life and death on the battlefield were unpredictable. In order to protect his younger brother Yun Rui, he died forever on the land of Yuan Kingdom that he loved.

He left the chance of survival to his younger brother.

Yun Rui followed his brother's last wish and made great efforts to raise his three children, Yun Huai, Yun Xin and Yun Ke.

Yun Huai and Yun Ke are both good candidates for learning martial arts, but Yun Xin doesn't care much about learning martial arts. He focuses on learning and is a good chess player.

The foundation of Yun Zhuan's Go was taught by Yun Xin.

Yun Huai loved to write poetry and study. The three brothers each had their own strengths and weaknesses.

Under the protection of the Yun family, the three of them each held their own positions in the court.

But among them, Yun Rui admired Yun Huai the most.

Yun Rui was strict with the three brothers, but gave all his love to his grandsons, especially Yun Zhuan.

Become a truly trustworthy elder like his brother.

"I have been a soldier all my life, and I have no choice but to leave the glory to the Yun Mansion. I feel guilty towards these children."

Emperor Yuan didn't know what attitude to take. He had just come out of Yangde Palace in the afternoon when he heard about this. He almost fell down.

It's not that the Yuan Kingdom cannot survive without the Yuan Family. He is the emperor, and he can still cultivate and create more Yun Family.

But the Yun family is the Yun family, there is only one in the world.

No one will be more loyal to the royal family than the Yun family.

What is he doing?

Suspicion and doubt, let these false seeds germinate in your heart until they grow into towering trees.

Yun Huai is dead.

Emperor Yuan felt that he was thousands of miles away, yet he could feel Yun Rui's inner pain right at hand.

He was the one who forced Yun Ju'an to enter the palace.

But he forced Yun Rui to do more, and even wanted to suppress the Yun family after he returned victoriously.

The entire Shangjing and the entire Yuan Kingdom were watching the Yun family laughing.

Heartbroken, repost
