Chapter 356 Can’t figure it out?
Because he had been standing for too long, Du Yunxiao felt dizzy when he walked away. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and every step he took felt like he was walking on the edge of a knife. He struggled to walk out of the palace gate, but suddenly stumbled at the corner, and his knees hit the bluestone slab hard.
"General!" The subordinates exclaimed and stepped forward, only to see that Du Yunxiao's face was as pale as paper, and all the strength in his body seemed to be drained. He no longer had the vigor and vitality he used to have.
The subordinates looked distressed. This was not the first time that Madam Yu had rejected the general. However, the general was a stubborn man. Once he made up his mind, he would never change his mind, let alone a person.
It would have been fine if he had just been rejected, but His Majesty has feelings for Madam Yu, so how could he tolerate anyone else getting close to her? Now he is taking out all his anger on the general.
It's such torture today, I'm afraid I might even lose my life tomorrow.
"Help me out." Du Yunxiao ordered weakly, his inner clothes soaked with cold sweat.
In a trance, he seemed to hear the voice coming from Funing Palace, and seemed to see Yu Qinghuan's eyes that were always smiling, calling him "Brother Yun Xiao".
No one knows how much he wants to go back to eight years ago.
The subordinates quickly called for help and hurriedly carried the man on his back. They only heard Du Yunxiao's last murmur before he fainted: "Huanhuan... don't beg him..."
...
That night, the news that Yu Qinghuan stayed in Funing Palace spread throughout the palace.
There were no concubines in the harem, and many high-ranking officials in the capital were keeping an eye on them, so any slight disturbance in the palace would spread throughout the capital.
Although the Zheng family had no intention of sending their daughter to the palace, they would still pay more attention.
Mrs. Zheng had already guessed what her youngest son was thinking. When she learned that Yu Qinghuan was staying in Funing Palace, she immediately called her daughter Zheng Qingrong.
Zheng Qingrong was getting married in the next few days. She was trying on her wedding dress and when she was called over, she thought it was her business.
Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Zheng opened her mouth, she was asking about her younger brother Zheng Qibai.
"What has Qi Bai been busy with lately?"
Zheng Qingrong thought it was just an ordinary question. She thought that her mother was probably afraid that her brother would learn bad things and follow those playboys outside to visit brothels.
"It's still the same as before, running out every few days, either drinking and watching a play or going to Jingyuan to join in the fun..."
Madam Zheng said, "I'm asking you, has Qi Bai been in contact with the lady from the Yu family recently?"
Hearing this, Zheng Qingrong was stunned. She hadn't expected her to ask about Yu Qinghuan. She smiled awkwardly, "Mother, Qi Bai and Ah Huan have only met a few times, all at our house. What kind of interaction could there be?"
At this moment, she wiped the cold sweat off her brother's forehead, hoping that her mother would not see through her brother's thoughts.
It is said that no one knows a son better than his mother. Seeing her daughter's reaction and still trying to cover up for her son, Mrs. Zheng became even more certain that this rebellious son in the family must have had such thoughts about the lady from the Yu family.
The Zheng family didn't care about family background. This was the first time her son liked a girl, and as long as she was from an ordinary family, she would agree to the marriage and go to her house to propose marriage.
But Madam Yu is not an ordinary person. She is the apple of the eye of the current emperor. If the emperor knew about this, not to mention whether her son's life could be saved, she was afraid that the entire Zheng family would be implicated and suffer.
"Rong'er, you know the importance of important matters, so why are you so confused about this?"
Hearing this, Zheng Qingrong's heart skipped a beat and her palms broke out in sweat. At this point, she could only continue to pretend to be confused, "Mother, what are you talking about..."
Madam Zheng's expression turned grim. "You've always known your brother well. Can't you see what he's thinking about the woman from the Yu family?"
She never imagined that her daughter, who had always been sensible, would help her son keep this a secret.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Zheng Qingrong had no choice but to confess honestly, "Mother, I'm just guessing. Besides, you know Qi Bai's temper. If someone tries to stop him, he'll get even more excited!"
What can I do?
"Besides, he has romantic feelings for Ah Huan, but I know Ah Huan, there's no way she would fall for that jerk Qi Bai..."
Hearing her daughter's words, Mrs. Zheng was unhappy. "What's wrong with my son? He's handsome and has a good personality. Why doesn't she like him?"
Zheng Qingrong was choked. Is this a question of whether she likes it or not?
"Mother, what I mean is that this is just my brother's wishful thinking. The situation you are worried about will not happen."
Besides, she didn't think her brother was worthy of Ah Huan.
But Mrs. Zheng is different. In her eyes, her son is good in every way. Why wouldn't Yu Qinghuan like her son?
But after calming down, she sighed again, "Rong'er, I heard from others today that the lady from the Yu family was taken into the palace yesterday and stayed in Funing Palace."
Zheng Qingrong was stunned. Ah Huan entered the palace and lived in Funing Palace?
She frowned and said, "Mother, you can't just spread these rumors. They're insulting people's reputations."
Mrs. Zheng knew very well that these words should not be spoken carelessly, but His Majesty's feelings for this person were known to everyone in the city. Regardless of whether this matter was true or not, it had to be taken seriously.
"You're getting married soon, and mother shouldn't bother you with this matter, but your brother has been close to you since childhood, so you have to pay attention to this matter and help persuade him."
She didn't want to hurt her son's feelings, but she was also afraid that he would get caught up in it. What if he did something stupid and brought disaster to the entire Zheng family?
Zheng Qingrong looked embarrassed. It was not like she had not tried to persuade her mother before. If it had been effective, her mother would not have dragged her to talk to her about this.
Madam Zheng: "When Qi Bai comes back later, call him over and have a good talk with him."
Zheng Qingrong sighed, "Mother, let's not even talk about the relationship between Ah Huan and His Majesty. Qi Bai's personality is such that the more you try to persuade him, the more he gets excited. It's better to wait and see what happens. Maybe after a while, when he sees that there's no hope and meets some new girls, he'll give up on this idea."
She felt that this was the best way. Based on her understanding of her brother's personality, this matter must not be forced.
Mrs. Zheng knew her son's temper very well, but this matter could not be delayed. She was afraid that the longer it took, the deeper her son would fall into it.
"No, we still have to talk about him."
Zheng Qingrong was helpless. "Then you might as well tell your father about this and have him break his legs. It will take a hundred days for the injury to heal. He won't be able to leave the house, and his mind will be broken."
Neither of the two people in the room noticed that there was a person standing outside.
Zheng Qibai's face turned pale, he couldn't believe it. He went to Fuyan Tower for two whole days, but Yu Qinghuan didn't show up.
He even thought that Yu Qinghuan was not feeling well, so he ran to Yu's house just now, but was stopped outside by the guard and was not allowed to enter.
But Yu Qinghuan actually...entered the palace and stayed in Funing Palace.
That is the emperor's bedroom.
Even though Zheng Qibai had never thought about asking for any status, he felt a sense of bitterness in his heart.
Sister Yu said that day that she would never marry again, but she went to the palace...
fraud.
