Chapter 323: Can't Get Along
Yun Zhiyi is dead.
All the powerful and noble families in Kyoto went to pay their respects.
Yun Tang watched with his own eyes as Yun Zhiyi's coffin was sealed and buried, with paper money flying all over the sky.
The cries of the Yun family echoed in her ears, making her heart ache.
After returning to the palace.
Yuntang fell ill.
In just two or three days, she became thinner, her face became haggard, and her eyes were full of sadness.
Xiao Jin saw it all, his fists hidden in the dark, his joints cracking.
The next moment.
He unclenched his fist, walked to Yuntang with a worried and concerned look, hugged her and coaxed her softly: "Xiao Yu'er, I am in deep sorrow."
"How can I mourn?"
Yun Tang's eyes were filled with hatred, and he angrily asked Xiao Jin: "Hasn't the bandit been caught yet?"
"I was just about to tell you..."
Xiao Jin's brows were gloomy as he whispered, "Yan Chen has already wiped out the bandit camp. The bandit leader put up a fierce resistance and was shot to death by arrows while fleeing."
Yun Tang's expression was filled with rage. "Where are the others?"
Xiao Jin replied, "They are all dead. No one is left alive. It is Yan Chen who failed in his duties. I will punish him."
Yuntang was stunned and speechless for a moment.
All dead?
What's the truth?
"I sent someone to investigate..."
Xiao Jin fabricated a lie: "This group of bandits specializes in robbing and killing merchants. Yun Zhiyi must have taken the wrong road and was dressed too luxuriously to attract attention, so she was targeted."
"They arrested Yun Zhiyi and learned he was an official. Frightened, they decided to destroy the body."
It sounds reasonable, but Yun Zhiyi is just unlucky.
But Yuntang always felt something was wrong!
Her sixth sense told her that this was not the case!
"Xiao Yu'er, don't be sad."
"Look, you've lost weight!"
Xiao Jin held her face in his hands, stroking the red corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and said distressedly: "He's dead, why are you still thinking about him?"
"If he...he wouldn't want you to be so sad."
Xiao Jin coaxed her softly and gently, "You still have me, Dan'er, Yueya'er, and Yan'er."
"You're so sad, the children are worried about you."
He took Yuntang's hand and pressed it against his chest.
Xiao Jin's voice was low and pitiful: "I am also distressed. I can't eat or sleep well."
Hearing this, Yuntang forced himself to cheer up.
She tugged at her pale pink lips and smiled faintly: "Okay, I'll cheer up."
"That's right. The dead cannot be resurrected. We must look forward." Xiao Jin hugged her and bent down to kiss her forehead.
Yuntang didn't say anything. She leaned quietly in Xiao Jin's arms, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.
Next, she gradually got over the pain.
In fact, she had been secretly sending people to investigate.
She wanted to find out why Yun Zhiyi was being robbed by bandits?
Yun Zhiyi is a first-rank inspector. Where are the guards around him?
But after searching again and again, I still found nothing.
It was as if everything was buried in the ground with Yun Zhiyi's death, and could no longer be found.
until……
Yun Rongrong entered the palace and brought a letter from Yun Zhiyi.
"This is the last letter my family received."
Yun Rongrong couldn't help crying out loud. She lowered her head and wiped her tears. She said to Yun Tang, "He said he found a way to cure his heart disease. Let's wait for his good news."
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
Yun Rongrong was sad and in pain, tears streaming down her face.
Yuntang opened the letter and saw the familiar handwriting, and her heart suddenly became sad.
No one expected that this was the last letter Yun Zhiyi left in the world!
Before he died, he was still thinking of Yuntang.
etc!
A light bulb went off in his mind, and Yuntang caught it!
She lowered her head to read the letter again, unraveling each word and line...
"Yinlian." Yuntang asked her anxiously, "How far is the bandit camp from Kyoto?"
"Your Majesty, it will take about two or three days."
Yun Tang frowned and pursed his lips, then ordered, "Call Zhu Ying into the palace."
Yun Rongrong's eyes were swollen from crying, and she looked at Yun Tang with tears in her eyes: "Empress, have you discovered anything?"
Yuntang didn't say anything.
She was silent for a moment, her almond-shaped eyes looking at Yun Rongrong calmly: "Cousin, go home. Don't tell anyone else about this letter."
"Okay, okay."
Soon, Zhu Ying went to the palace to pay a visit.
Yuntang dismissed the palace maids and had a private chat with her, explaining two things.
1. Check whether any officials secretly entered the capital through the various city gates three days before Yun Zhiyi's death.
Second, ask Yan Chen, what order did Xiao Jin give?
Zhu Ying is efficient in his work.
But upon checking, something was found!
Zhu Ying was so frightened that she paced back and forth at home, causing Pei Xueyi to hold her shoulders and ask, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Pei, something big happened!"
Zhu Ying trembled and secretly told Pei Xueyi what she had found out.
She was confused and at a loss: "Brother Pei, what should I do? Should I tell the Queen?"
"If I don't tell you, I'll be betraying my master and betraying the trust Her Majesty has placed in me!"
"But I said..."
One side cannot be let down, and the other side she cannot afford to offend!
what to do?
Pei Xueyi's expression changed. She moved her hand away from Zhu Ying's shoulder, held her hand and squeezed it hard.
Pei Xueyi said calmly and coldly, "I will go to the palace with you. You go to see the Empress, and I will go to see His Majesty."
"Ah? Is this still possible?"
"Well, the emperor and empress fought at one end of the bed and made up at the other. We can't get involved, or we'll die."
Zhu Ying felt that what he said made sense.
But……
Zhu Ying said with a sad face, "I'm afraid we won't be able to have a good relationship. Things are going to change in the palace."
Pei Xueyi said in a gloomy tone: "...That's what Your Majesty asked for."
The couple entered the palace and split into two groups.
Zhu Ying came to the audience, took a deep breath, and stammered, "Lord Yun once secretly entered the capital..."
"His Majesty's secret decree... to kill all of Yan Chen, leaving no one alive..."
"Empress!!!"
Zhu Ying exclaimed, and crawled forward to support Yuntang.
Yun Tang slumped down on the phoenix chair, his face pale. He closed his eyes and ordered, "Investigate again! Before Yun Zhiyi's accident, did Your Majesty leave the palace? Where did he go?"
"Ah? Me?"
Zhu Ying had a mournful look on his face and stammered, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid... I don't have that ability."
Yun Tang came back to his senses and curled his lips: "That's right. Forget it, you can leave."
"Empress, are you okay?"
“Back off!”
Yuntang's tone was cold and stern, and Zhu Ying quickly bowed his head and took his leave.
As soon as she left Changle Palace, she saw the Emperor hurriedly walking past without even glancing at her...
Seeing this, Zhu Ying felt uneasy.
"Zhu Ying."
Pei Xueyi called her from not far away, and Zhu Ying quickly lifted her skirt and ran over.
"Husband! What did His Majesty say?"
"Don't worry about it, hurry up and leave the palace." Pei Xueyi grabbed her and said, "We will ask for leave tomorrow and say that we have caught a cold and cannot attend court."
"Is it that serious?"
Zhu Ying was anxious and confused, "Husband, why does His Majesty want... Did Lord Yun do something wrong?"
Pei Xueyi paused, and looked at Zhu Ying quietly with his frosty eyes. If Zhu Ying also had a follower whom he had admired for many years, he would probably not be able to help but do something.
What's more, Your Majesty's possessiveness is the most terrifying!
Pei Xueyi turned her head away and said, "He was wrong. He shouldn't have returned to Beijing."
Zhu Ying seemed to understand but not quite.
Before she left the palace, she looked back at Changle Palace. The sky was covered with dark clouds and it was terribly dark.
The storm is coming!
"Empress..." Zhu Ying's face was full of worry.
