Chapter 325: Meeting the Mistress in Spring
late at night.
"Your humble servant greets Her Majesty the Queen!"
The commander of the imperial guards guarding the palace gate knelt and saluted, then asked, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, where are you going now that you've left the palace so late at night?"
Yun Tang sat upright in the carriage, her almond-shaped eyes glaring down at him from the window. "Are you qualified to ask where I've been?"
"Your Majesty, calm down! His Majesty has issued an order..."
The sword is unsheathed.
Yinlian held her sword across the guard leader's neck and shouted coldly, "How dare you!"
The commander of the imperial guards was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and was at a loss as to what to do.
Yun Tang retracted his gaze and ordered coldly: "Open the door!"
The sword on the neck is cold and biting, and if you are not careful, it will take your life.
The commander of the guards had no choice but to order the door to be opened.
As the carriage left, the guard leader looked at Yinlian hesitantly: "You, aren't you going to follow?"
Yinlian waited until the carriage had gone far away before she put away her sword and warned in a chilling tone, "You know nothing tonight. I'll go talk to His Majesty."
"Ah? Okay, okay."
The commander of the imperial guards wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and watched Yinlian walk towards the Qinzheng Hall.
There are spies everywhere in the palace.
The secret guards are commanded by Wuying.
When Wuying received the news, his face became cold and stern, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Don't tell His Majesty!"
Yinlian put one foot on the railing and supported the pillar with one hand, doing the wall-dong without a trace.
Her eyes widened, "Brother, this is the Queen's order, you can't disobey!"
Wuying raised his hand and pulled her arm, "Mind your image."
Silver Lotus didn't move at all.
She said righteously: "My mission tonight is to keep an eye on you!"
Wuying raised his hands to cover his face, helpless: "Everyone is watching."
Yinlian turned her head and saw the secret guards on the roof and the rockery staring at them with sparkling eyes.
The palace maids and eunuchs passing by had their mouths wide open.
Yinlian then felt embarrassed, so she withdrew her hands and feet, coughed, and stood up.
Wuying sighed, "I can only keep it secret for one night."
"No, your Majesty won't be back tomorrow morning."
Yinlian then took out a packet of medicine and urged Wuying, "Brother, go and put it in His Majesty's meal."
Wuying: “…”
…
Out of the palace and out of the city gate.
The roads were dark at night and only the lanterns on the carriages and horses could provide light.
The road becomes more and more deviated.
Yun Tang frowned and wrinkled his handkerchief with both hands. "Old doctor, where are we going?"
"Dark Guard Village."
The old doctor stroked his beard, his tone melancholy and helpless: "Yun Zhiyi, it's right there."
Yuntang frowned and pursed his lips, unable to understand for a moment.
Xiao Jin personally admitted that he killed Yun Zhiyi!
But the old doctor said the person was not dead.
What is going on?
Dark Guard Village, as the name suggests, Yun Tang continued to ask: "Is it where the Dark Guards live?"
"No, the secret guards live in the secret guard camp and are ready to be deployed at any time."
The old doctor pushed open the window and looked forward, continuing to explain: "This Anwei Village is where the Anwei family lives."
"Secret Guard, and family members?"
Yuntang couldn't help being surprised.
Aren’t secret guards, like death warriors, all lonely and risking their lives?
When the carriage arrived at Anwei Village, it was already dawn.
The Dark Guard Village, hidden deep in the secret valley, has become bustling with people of all ages and genders starting their day with a smile.
Men get up early in the morning to farm.
Women cook and do laundry.
The children called their friends and ran to one place...
"When His Majesty was still a prince, he acquired a team of secret guards. He allowed these guards to marry and have children, which gave them a weak spot and made them betray the emperor and serve him loyally."
"Your Majesty saved many lives on the battlefield when he was young..."
"Anyone who voluntarily joins the Dark Guard Camp will have their family properly accommodated here, and they will live and work in peace and contentment for the rest of their lives."
The old doctor stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Most of the secret guards are lonely people, but with this village, they have a home."
"They have been loyal to Your Majesty for generations!"
"Later, it will be passed on to the Crown Prince, Princess, and Little Prince..."
Yuntang listened carefully.
After listening, she couldn't help but urge: "What does this have to do with Yun Zhiyi?"
"Don't worry, just follow me!"
The old doctor walked in front to lead the way. They passed through the village, and people passing by knelt down to greet them when they saw them.
The old doctor made a gesture to stop them from making any sound.
All the way, walk outside the bamboo house.
The little kids I had seen earlier were now sitting obediently behind their desks, nodding their heads and chanting, "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast and boundless..."
"Great! Everyone, do it again!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yuntang couldn't help but take two steps forward and saw the teacher through the window!
It’s Yun Zhiyi!
Yun Zhiyi dressed like a teacher, holding a book in his hand, teaching the children in the house...
A gust of wind blew in through the window, blowing the books.
Yun Zhiyi stood up and wanted to close the window. When she looked up, she inadvertently saw Yun Tang.
He looked surprised, his eyes full of unfamiliarity: "Who is the girl?"
"This is the lady!"
The old doctor stepped forward and reminded: "This is the mistress of the house! Don't be rude!"
Yun Zhiyi was immediately flustered and hurried out the door, bowing deeply and saying, "Fengchun greets the mistress."
"Spring?"
Yuntang blinked and understood something in an instant.
She smiled sweetly, holding back the tears in her eyes, and nodded: "No need to be polite, I'm just passing by, you can continue."
After saying that, Yuntang turned around and walked away in a hurry.
Her skirt fluttered and the golden hairpin on her temples shone brightly.
Fengchun blinked and couldn't help asking the old doctor: "Old sir, have I seen her?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the mistress's first time in the village. You've never been out of the village in your life, how could you know her?"
The old doctor glared at him with a smile and waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back and continue teaching. I'm leaving. No need to see you off!"
Fengchun stood there blankly for a while, then turned around and muttered to himself, "Yeah, how could I know him?"
He returned to the house, and soon heard the neat and childish voices of children reading again...
In front of the carriage.
Yuntang stood quietly for a while.
When the old doctor came back, she immediately turned around and asked impatiently, "Whose body is it?"
"Ah, a condemned man."
He dug out the heart, recycled the waste, and replaced Yun Zhiyi.
The old doctor said frankly, "Your Majesty wants to kill him! This is the first time I've seen Your Majesty hesitate for so long before wanting to kill someone."
"Empress, His Majesty spared Yun Zhiyi's life for your sake."
Yuntang looked towards the village, "...I know."
She married a possessive, paranoid, cruel and ruthless emperor.
She knows how good Xiao Jin is!
I also know how bad Xiao Jin is.
But she was still surprised that Xiao Jin finally let Yun Zhiyi go.
She now understood that Xiao Jin would rather be resented by her than tell the truth, just to make Yun Zhiyi disappear completely, without any possibility of him appearing in front of her again.
"Go back."
Yuntang stepped onto the carriage and said, "I won't come here again."
"Are you still angry with His Majesty?" The old doctor chased Yuntang and asked.
Yuntang paused, his eyes changing.
At this moment, someone came galloping after them: "Empress!"
It's silver lotus!
Yinlian rushed out of the palace, gasping for breath from exhaustion.
She was so anxious that she jumped up and down: "The old lady is critically ill. The Yun family asks you to go back and see the old lady for the last time!"
