85. That year
Su Zheng said hesitantly and happily, looking at her with a pair of beautiful eyes, showing the shyness of a young man.
Yun Zhihe was stunned for a long time, then she reached out and touched Su Zheng's head.
ask.
"Why do you still like me?"
Yun Zhihe lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting a dark shadow. She paused, let out a light breath, and turned around.
"Su Zheng, go back. Since your sister has given you permission to marry, you don't have to observe the three-year mourning period anymore. Go back..."
She pursed her lips.
"Marriage is a serious matter. I have no romantic feelings for you. You should get married as soon as possible."
Su Zheng paused, then suddenly pounced on her and hugged her waist.
"Sister Yun!"
His voice was choked with sobs. "When Zheng Zheng cried before, you were the one who held him and comforted him. When Zheng Zheng had a nightmare, you were always by his side."
"Zheng Zheng...I really like Sister Yun."
"I didn't know anything about love between men and women before. I just thought you were beautiful and a good person, so I always secretly looked at you."
"But..." His voice was tearful, and his tears soaked Yun Zhihe's back.
"But, Zheng Zheng really loves you."
"Sister Yun..." His voice was hoarse and the last syllable trembled.
“…Don’t abandon me.”
He sniffed, let go of his hand and wiped the tears from his face, then forced a smile and walked in front of Yun Zhihe.
"Sister Yun... I, I don't seek the position of legal husband, I just want to marry you."
"Zheng Zheng is very well behaved."
The tip of his nose was red and his eyes were rippled.
"Zheng Zheng is a quiet and obedient person. He's not like the ones in the storybooks who try to trick others. Zheng Zheng is really a well-behaved person."
Su Zheng's clothes were simple and elegant because he was in mourning. The waist belt outlined the slender and soft waist of the young boy. His pair of smart starry eyes were full of tears, and the hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind.
He spoke for a short while before his voice became intermittent again, the voice of a boy hoarse from crying.
"Zheng Zheng... they don't eat much, so raising them... doesn't cost any money."
"Zheng Zheng, I only like to eat cakes... I'll use, uh, my dowry to buy them..."
"If Sister Yun doesn't like it, Zheng Zheng doesn't have to eat it."
"Don't, don't leave me..."
Yun Zhihe was stunned for a long time. She reached out and wiped away the tears from Su Zheng's face.
He lowered his head and looked at the sobbing young man, closing his eyes.
"...But I really don't have any interest in you."
Su Zheng looked up, his brows furrowed, his heart aching, but he still hurriedly explained, "No need, no need, sister... You have no interest in me. As long as Zheng Zheng likes you, that's all."
He stepped forward to hug Yun Zhihe, but Yun Zhihe dodged him again.
She sighed softly.
"Su Zheng..."
Before he could finish, another person jumped down from the wall, and the noise made the two of them turn their heads to look.
——It’s Su Lin.
She was dressed in plain clothes and looked pale. She paused, took a few steps forward, grabbed Su Zheng's slender wrist, and frowned slightly, "Su Zheng, come back with me."
Su Zheng's expression suddenly became dull, as if he had wilted. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Su Lin bowed to Yun Zhihe and lowered his head to apologize.
"He disappeared today for no apparent reason. I guess I took the liberty to come here because he was already here. Madam Yun, please forgive me."
Su Lin pursed his lips and said, "Madam Yun, Su Zheng is ignorant of etiquette. I have already guessed what he said. If Madam Yun... is interested in him, then..."
Yun Zhihe looked at her with a complicated and evasive look in his eyes, and Su Lin swallowed his words.
She already knew what Yun Zhihe meant.
She lowered her head, her voice low and hoarse, "I understand. Sorry to bother you. I'll take my leave now."
Yun Zhihe closed his eyes and looked at the two figures.
With the power of Queen Mother Cheng gone, Su Lin's career began to go smoothly. She already had a good reputation and outstanding abilities, so it was not surprising that she was valued.
I wish her well and a bright future.
After so much time had passed, it was time for her to enter the palace. Eunuch Li sent people to test her, both openly and covertly, for a long time about when she would enter the palace, but she always gave vague answers.
Yun Zhihe looked at the chess pieces on the board and pursed his lips.
…She doesn’t want to see him now.
She laughed, but there was a ripple of sadness in the corners of her eyes. She paused for a long time and spoke in a hoarse voice to Azhi who had just returned.
"Go to the Grand Prince's Mansion."
Ah Zhi blinked and said happily, "Are you finally going out? I've noticed you've been acting strangely these days, and I thought you were made stupid by the Second Prince's kiss."
As soon as he finished speaking, he happily went to prepare the horse.
Yun Zhihe looked at her cheerful back and was choked by her words, but a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Qin Duan seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He sat on the chair and looked at Yun Zhihe with a smile.
Yun Zhihe frowned.
Qin Duan poured her a cup of tea with a smile on his face. His voice was gentle and elegant. "Jinniang, this is your favorite white peony tea. I had it brewed specially for you. It has a refreshing fragrance."
She paused, walked forward, and sat down. Instead of being on guard, she calmly picked up the tea and took a sip.
Qin Duan's smile grew wider, with a slightly moist red tinge on the tip of his lips. He leaned forward, his voice hoarse.
"I heard that the Second Prince kissed you... He is just like that."
"...Let Brother see."
He reached out and pinched Yun Zhihe's chin, their hot breaths entwined and lingering, and he pounced on Yun Zhihe's chin, his slender and beautiful fingers extremely beautiful.
Qin Duan narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his eyes to look at Yun Zhihe's lips, and leaned closer. His voice was hoarse, and there was a trembling smile at the end of it.
"Really...Brother, let me wipe it for you."
He tilted his head slightly and was about to kiss her.
Yun Zhihe turned her head away suddenly, avoiding his kiss.
Qin Duan paused, his expression still calm, and murmured softly, "Jin Niang is really shy..."
"But..." He raised his eyes and looked at Yun Zhihe, his eyes filled with ripples of darkness and obsession, like thick ink that could not be dissolved.
"But, Xuanyuan should kiss you like this, right?"
In an instant, the atmosphere froze.
He scoffed, his voice gradually turning cold.
"Are his lips softer than his brother's?"
"or……"
His slender fingertips gently touched Yun Zhihe's chest, his breath was as fragrant as orchid, and his eyes were half-closed. The gentleman who was as aloof and gentle as orchid was now particularly charming.
A somewhat trembling smile.
"—in bed, he serves me better?"
He met Yun Zhihe's stunned eyes and asked, "Jinniang, do you want to try?"
Yun Zhihe suddenly shook off his hand, with a look of helplessness and annoyance in his eyes.
"I have always regarded you as my brother."
Yun Zhihe closed his eyes and was almost unable to speak, his voice was barely audible.
“…You’re crazy.”
Qin Duan paused, then suddenly stood up and hugged him, rubbing the corner of his lips against the tip of Yun Zhihe's ear.
"Yes, I'm crazy."
His breath was sticky and hot, his voice was filled with irrepressible obsession, and he gently kissed the tip of her ear.
"Jinniang, I've gone crazy a long time ago."
Qin Duan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and spoke softly.
"Jinniang, you have no idea how cold the winter in the borderland is."
"Brother is really afraid of the cold..."
His voice was slightly choked, and he hugged Yun Zhihe tightly, feeling insecure and longing.
"You don't know how desperately I missed you during those countless dazed days and nights at the border."
"...Brother, I really miss you."
"Besides Jinniang... I have no one else."
His voice was filled with tears.
"I only have Jinniang."
Suddenly, his voice paused.
"But Jinniang, you have someone else, right? You even went so far as to confront your brother."
He closed his eyes and rubbed Yun Zhihe's neck.
"Jinniang...come back to me, okay?"
Yun Zhihe reached out and held the back of his head, her fingertips trembling. She lowered her head slightly, and the tip of her nose could smell the fragrance of his hair.
"……good."
Qin Duan smiled and wanted to look up and kiss the corner of her lips, but Yun Zhihe dodged him again.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little cold.
Qin Duan's expression adjusted immediately, and he put on a beautiful smile, not caring at all, and even thought of a reason for her.
"……It doesn't matter."
"Jinniang must be feeling uncomfortable, right?"
He reached out and stroked Yun Zhihe's lips, rubbing and kneading them with his fingertips until they turned red, his voice soft and low.
Lowering the eyes is a sign of lingering love.
"You can kiss your brother later."
"...But, don't kiss anyone else." He paused and smiled, "Otherwise, I don't know what bad things I might do."
The trembling low laugh at the end of his voice was particularly sexy, as if it were lingering in your ears.
Qin Duan put it on.
Come, "Jinniang... let my brother tell you the truth about what you are entangled with - the assassination case of the Shen family."
It was a sweet smile that was almost tempting and inviting.
…
Madam Yun had not entered the palace for several days and had also taken a long leave. His Majesty's face became gloomier day by day, and he even ate much less.
"I have no appetite."
Eunuch Li coaxed him.
"Your Majesty, please eat more. If Madam Yun comes to the palace and sees that you have lost weight, will she feel sorry for you?"
Xuanyuan Ying pursed his lips, lowered his head and took another sip of porridge. Finally, he frowned and swallowed it reluctantly.
He hadn't seen Yun Zhihe recently, and his depressed mood made his health start to deteriorate, with him feeling stuffy and nauseous all the time.
Before Eunuch Li could coax him to eat another bite, a voice of notification came from the door.
"Your Majesty, Madam Yun requests an audience."
Eunuch Li suddenly laughed, knowing that it was time to make room for his young lover, and hurriedly drove out the servants next to him, but he was still saying something seriously, "It's important court business, you must not listen."
Xuanyuan Ying straightened his hair, wiped the corner of his lips, and turned to look at the bronze mirror.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the man in the mirror, who was as handsome as an ink painting with rich colors.
He walked towards Yun Zhihe.
The woman stood there, her white clothes were whiter than snow, her face was cold and slightly haggard, but it was covered by the cold beauty of spring snow between her eyebrows.
He hasn't seen his wife Xiaoyun for a long time.
The bitterness of separation after not seeing each other for a few days wrapped around his chest, and his heart was aching. But now he looked at her eyes greedily, wishing he could kiss her until she fainted.
I really want to hug her...
I really want to kiss her...
Xuanyuan Ying wanted to reach out and hug her.
Before he could touch him, Yun Zhihe suddenly dodged away, leaving Xuanyuan Ying frozen in place.
Xuanyuan Ying was stunned and looked at Yun Zhihe with a cold expression in his voice.
"Jinniang...?"
Yun Zhihe looked at him, his voice trembling and dry.
"Back then, the Shen family assassinated the late emperor, and my parents were killed... but, were you the one who orchestrated it behind the scenes?"
Xuanyuan Ying suddenly stopped, his expression stunned as if in disbelief.
"Jin, Jinniang... I, no, Jinniang..."
She squeezed his shoulders and took a deep breath.
"I just want to ask you one thing..."
"Were you involved in planning this incident behind the scenes?"
In an instant, Xuanyuan Ying's head buzzed.
The view towards Yun Zhihe was also blurry.
