"It's just Father's will. We can't disobey it. Let's do this. After the Sixth Emperor's sister-in-law gives birth to the Emperor's nephew, I will ask Father to send someone to take you back to the Lin Mansion. As for Yanqing Palace, don't go there for the time being. Concubine Yu is in trouble." Qingyun comforted her softly.

Lin Tao is not dead yet, she will never let Zhi Lan go back. With the cruelty and viciousness of Lin Tao and Mrs. Lin, Zhi Lan will definitely be hurt.

As the imperial concubine is full of tricks and does not recognize her relatives, there is no guarantee that Zhi Lan will not be taken advantage of by the imperial concubine.

Also, the age difference between the emperor's nephew and Zhang Lianwu's child in the six emperors' wives was a few months apart. It was inevitable that some people had evil thoughts that they shouldn't have. After all, for the imperial family who had not yet had a third-generation heir, the emperor The significance of having an eldest grandchild is extraordinary.

Seeing that Zhi Lan still lowered her head and said nothing, Qing Yun sighed meaningfully and said: "Half a year has passed, and it's still half a month anyway. Why, you don't even believe what Sister Yun said? Or are you saying that? Is there any other reason why you are rushing back to Lin Mansion?"

"I don't distrust Sister Yun, and I have no other reason to rush back to Lin Mansion."

Hearing the loss and sadness in Qingyun's tone, Zhilan suddenly panicked and raised her head suddenly.

The sun shone mottledly through the gaps between the green trees on Qingyun's face. Her beautiful and elegant face was a little blurry, with a hint of melancholy, which made it hard to see clearly at first glance. Zhilan's heart trembled inexplicably, and she hurriedly said: "I know , Father’s will cannot be violated, I listen to Sister Yun, everything will be done after the Sixth Emperor’s Sister-in-law gives birth to the Emperor’s nephew, Sister Yun, don’t be sad, okay?”

"Zhi Lan, although we are not biological sisters, we have been closer than biological sisters since we were children. I am not sad because of this incident, but because I feel that you and I are much different from each other. We no longer talk to each other about everything as we did before." Qingyun said softly and coaxingly: "If you have anything to do, just tell me, and we will shoulder the responsibility together and find a solution together, okay?

Looking at Qingyun with a sincere face and warm and clear eyes, Zhilan bit her lip gently and couldn't help but want to tell Yun, who had always loved her sincerely, all her sorrow and pain. Sister, when I think of my mother, concubine, and brother, I finally swallow a thousand words alive in my belly.

"Sister Yun, you will always be my biological sister in my heart. You will always be. I am not biologically separated from you, and I don't hide anything from you. I just think that I am married and always stay in the palace to influence you. not good."

"That's it." Qingyun suddenly nodded and said: "Don't worry, you are a royal princess, and your father personally ordered you to return to the palace. No one dares to make any comments. Father has his own way in everything. Brothers and I I’ll carry it for you.”

Zhi Lan was obviously worried a second ago, but she returned to normal in the blink of an eye. Qingyun felt more and more that it was not easy for her to marry Lin Tao, but she was unwilling to say it at all, and she couldn't force it, so she had to suppress her doubts and feel relieved. After saying a few words to her, he sent her back to Yuhua Palace.

Looking up at the scorching sun in the blue sky, Qingyun's eyes were half-squinted, and her face was as quiet as a pool of water: "Wuying, find a chance for Qiuhe to come see me."

Luoxia Palace.

Qingyun lowered her eyes and looked at the tea leaves that were sinking and floating in the tea cup in her hand. The corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and there was a gloomy atmosphere filling her whole body.

Soon, Qiu He followed the dancing shadows into the hall. Qiu He knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Slave, please see the Ninth Princess, Ninth Princess Jin An."

The dancing shadows instantly disappeared into the darkness.

After elegantly taking a sip of the tea in her hand, Qingyun slightly raised her eyes. A pair of eyes as deep as the sea quietly looked at Qiu He who was a few steps away, neither calling her up nor speaking.

Feeling a cool and majestic aura coming towards her face, Qiu He, who was kneeling with her head bowed, couldn't help but tremble all over. Cold sweat broke out in the palms of her hands on her knees. She vaguely guessed that the Ninth Princess asked her to come because of Princess Yongle's affairs. , but I didn’t dare to speak rashly.

For a moment, the hall was silent, with only the sunlight shining lightly and the breeze bringing refreshing fragrance.

Qing Yun didn't put down the tea cup until most of the tea was drunk. Green Po stepped forward to refill the tea and quietly returned behind Qing Yun.

Leaning on the armrest of the chair, Qingyun said calmly: "Miss Qiao can arrange for you to serve Princess Yongle, which shows that you are extremely capable and loyal. Ask yourself, have you lived up to the trust that Miss Qiao and I have placed in you?"

"You deserve to be punished by the Ninth Princess!" Qiu He suddenly felt a chill running down his spine when he heard this. He kowtowed with a pale face and apologized: "I have betrayed the trust of the Ninth Princess and Miss Qiao, and I am at the mercy of the Ninth Princess."

"We will talk about your guilt later. First tell me, why did Princess Yongle marry the Lin family?"

"This..." Qiu He's eyes flickered and he hesitated to say a complete sentence.

Qingyun raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't tell me that you don't know anything after staying with Princess Yongle for so long."

"Slave, slave..."

There was faint blood oozing out of Qiu He's biting lips. He peeked at Qing Yun's eyes that seemed calm and gentle, but seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. He was so shocked that he lost his mind and said with trembling lips: "Go back to the Ninth Princess, according to what the slave said. I know that Princess Yongle married Lin Tao in order to find something in the Taiwei's study. I heard that it has something to do with the Taiwei and the imperial concubine. I really don't know what the specific thing is. I ask the Ninth Princess to investigate."

After saying that, Qiu He lowered his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she has always disagreed with Princess Yongle's behavior. After all, Princess Yongle is so kind and weak, not only sacrificing her lifelong happiness, but also often enduring beatings and bullying from the Lin family. It is really pitiful and helpless.

What's more, the Ninth Princess is smart and wise, and she loves and cares about Princess Yongle very much. As long as Princess Yongle tells the Ninth Princess, I believe that the Ninth Princess will definitely have a way to get what Princess Yongle wants, which is better than Princess Yongle taking risks again and again in vain. Now the Ninth Princess I know, sad and angry.

Qing Yun frowned and glanced sideways at Mo Xuan, who happened to be looking at her as well. Both of them had shock and regret in their eyes.

In order to enter the Taiwei's study to find evidence, Zhilan actually sacrificed her life-long happiness. How could she be so stupid?

"Does Envoy Lin know about this?"

Qiu He, who was staying with Princess Yongle in the palace, was very aware of the important matter of being granted an official position by the Ziyi Guards. He also understood that the Commander Lin in Qingyun's mouth was referring to the Second Young Master Lin, so he nodded.

"After the New Year's dinner, Princess Yongle returned to the Lin Mansion with her slaves early. When Princess Yongle quietly entered the Taiwei's study to look for the thing, she was almost caught by Mrs. Lin. Thanks to Commander Lin's timely appearance to save the siege, she guessed where Princess Yongle was. The reason for marrying Lin Mansion."

Qiu He did not say that Commander Lin suspected that Princess Yongle was instigated by the Ninth Princess, nor did he say that Commander Lin had an inexplicable affection for Princess Yongle.

In the former case, Commander Lin was a member of the Purple Guard and a member of the Lin family. She was worried that the Ninth Princess would be dissatisfied with Commander Lin and would in turn harm the Ninth Princess herself.

As for the latter, only the second young master in the entire Lin family treats Princess Yongle sincerely. Once this matter spreads out, for the reputation of the royal family and the Lin family, Commander Lin will undoubtedly die, and Princess Yongle will also bear the infamy of having an affair with her uncle and sister-in-law. I'm afraid it will happen again. If she lives without face in the world, she becomes a sinner.

After listening to Qingyun's dark eyes, a faint glimmer of light disappeared.

Lin Han, Commander Lin, you are really hiding your secrets. It seems that the fire in Taiwei's study is definitely related to you!

I just don’t know if you did this to break Zhi Lan’s mind? Or to protect some people?

How much do you really know about the secrets in the Taiwei's study?

"You should go back and serve Princess Yongle. As for your guilt, I will remember it first and deal with it next time. Also, you must not reveal a single word of today's conversation to Princess Yongle, otherwise you will be severely punished! In addition, I have my own decision on this matter. You only need to properly persuade Princess Yongle and never let Princess Yongle act without permission! Have you remembered everything?"

"I thank the Ninth Princess for your irresponsible kindness! I will remember the Ninth Princess's teachings!" Qiu He kowtowed heavily, and then was sent out of Luoxia Palace by Green Amber.

Standing up and walking to Qingyun, he gently opened her cold and clenched hand and intertwined his fingers with hers. Mo Xuan comforted her softly: "I think the reason why Zhilan did this is not just because of you, but also because of you. I just want to prevent the prince and the imperial concubine from committing another murderous crime, so you don’t need to blame yourself."

"Zhilan is so kind and gentle. She should have a simple and happy life, but now she is forced by us people to sacrifice ourselves. We all deserve to die!" Qingyun choked with pain in her voice.

"Don't talk nonsense!" He stretched out his hand to hug his lover into his arms, and a trace of solemnity and coldness flashed across Mo Xuan's beautiful face: "Zhilan is not a child, she knows what she is doing, and she also knows that as a princess, she shoulders the responsibilities that she was born with. responsibilities and obligations;

What's more, there are unscrupulous mother-in-law and grandfather. Even if she doesn't marry Lin Tao, she will be used by her mother-in-law and grandfather in order to win over power;

Think about it, it may not be a bad thing for her to marry Lin Tao. At least she can stay in the capital and be under your protection. It is better than marrying far away or marrying into a powerful family whose life and death are unknown. When Lin Tao dies, you can find a reason to let her go. The emperor issued an order to take her back to the palace, but even the imperial concubine and the prince did not dare to stop her."

"I originally convinced my father that Zhi Lan would make the decision on her own marriage, but unexpectedly... Zhi Lan has already been hurt once, and I will never allow anyone to hurt her again in the future!" Qing Yun's eyes flashed. Determined: "Long Ying, pass on my will and the secret guards who are ordered to protect Zhi Lan will each fight twenty times. If something like this happens again, I will not be lenient!"

"I obey the order!" The dragon shadow left in the shadow.

Gentlely wiping away the tears from the corners of Qingyun's eyes, Mo Xuan scolded: "Don't take everything on yourself again in the future. Do you know how heartbroken I feel when I see you like this?"

"Chen Yu..."

Huang Ying's voice came from outside the house: "Princess, it's dinner time. Do you want to send the dinner here?"

Qingyun turned to look out the window, and she didn't know when the sun was setting in the west, and the gorgeous rays of light illuminated the entire sky, making it look particularly beautiful.

"We came back just in time."
