Chapter 272 Pure and innocent
The noble ministers who had just left the court slowed down their pace, looking back every few steps as they were curious about gossip. No matter what their relationship was like in normal times or whether they were on opposing sides, at least at this moment they were in the same camp.
Therefore, even if two people hate each other to death on weekdays, they can get together and chat peacefully at this time. The atmosphere is like that of brothers who meet again after a long separation.
Emperor Qinglong in Chongzheng Hall was like a wild animal in a melon field, jumping up and down anxiously. When he saw Eunuch Sun come in, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Eunuch Sun smiled so hard that his eyebrows were visible but his eyes were not. The corners of his lips that were raised could not be lowered. In Song Yunxi's words, his face was full of wrinkles.
"Your Majesty, the eldest lady is looking for His Royal Highness Prince Chen everywhere!"
Emperor Qinglong's eyes lit up instantly, brighter than if he had met his beloved: "That stinky girl came into the palace to look for the fourth master so early in the morning?"
Eunuch Sun also watched several princes grow up. Although Emperor Qinglong had always rejected and suppressed Prince Chen, in his heart he actually believed that the most outstanding prince was Prince Chen, and only Prince Chen was worthy of the eldest lady.
He truly loved Song Yunxi, and secretly hoped that she could be with Ye Xuanqi. Now that his wish was about to come true, he was naturally overjoyed.
"The eldest lady looks like she has come to see the prince without washing."
Emperor Qinglong was stunned for a moment: "That girl came to look for the fourth brother early in the morning. Could something have happened?"
"An assassin entered the Imperial Master's Mansion last night?"
Song Yunxi is a man of integrity, and Ye Xuanqi is a gentleman, so they would never think that anything improper would happen between the two of them.
The most important thing is that Song Yunxi is a person with a lot of bad intentions and is always thinking about how to deal with others. How can she have the time to think about love and romance?
So Emperor Qinglong’s first reaction was to know what had happened to Song Yunxi.
Now the four masters and apprentices are all in Qingyun Pavilion, and Nanyue is trying to control Song Yunxi with witchcraft. Beichu and Xidi are even more eyeing her covetously. Although they have sent secret guards to protect her secretly, they are still worried about her safety in their hearts.
Eunuch Sun thought about it and said, "I haven't heard of it!"
Besides, with the young lady's ability and courage, even if she encountered an assassin, she would have handled it by herself. It is impossible for her to be so panic-stricken... Well, the young lady's sad look can't actually be called panic-stricken.
Emperor Qinglong was eager to learn: "Go quickly and find out what's going on!"
When Eunuch Sun was about to leave after receiving the order, Commander He came in with a happy face and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Chen heard that the eldest lady had entered the palace to look for him, and he had already walked to the palace gate and then returned."
"Go, go quickly!"
Emperor Qinglong walked out and said, "I want to see it myself!"
He has always hoped that Song Yunxi could become his daughter-in-law. He has waited for so long and has been trying to match them up for so long. Now that things are looking promising, he can't just wait and hear what others say. He has to go and see it with his own eyes to be satisfied.
On the way to the Imperial Garden, they happened to meet the Empress. Both the Emperor and Empress were startled, and then asked in unison: "Has the Emperor (Empress) heard about it too?"
Of course there was no need to answer, the emperor and empress walked together in perfect sync.
Song Yunxi was the only one in the Imperial Garden. When the Queen was about to go over, she was stopped by Emperor Qinglong: "Don't go over there, just look here."
The Queen was surprised by Emperor Qinglong's secret feelings. Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Emperor Qinglong say, "If we go over there, won't it delay the two children from expressing their feelings to each other?"
The Queen only hesitated for a moment before she understood what Emperor Qinglong meant. She smiled happily and said, "Your Majesty is really thoughtful."
Over the past year, the relationship between the emperor and the empress had improved greatly. The empress was no longer always cold and reserved in front of him, and her casual and friendly smile was very common. However, this was the first time that Emperor Qinglong had seen such a bright smile.
He didn't expect that the queen would be so beautiful when she smiled, and he was dazzled for a moment.
If they could understand each other when they were young, he and the queen would surely be able to understand each other and have a deep love for each other. However, they are now middle-aged and have experienced many things. The desire for love in their hearts is no longer there. Being able to respect each other like they do now is the best result.
As Emperor Qinglong was sighing, he heard Ye Xuanqi's worried voice: "Why are you wearing so little? What if you catch a cold?"
As he said this, he put the cloak in his hand on her.
Then he asked her softly, "What happened?"
Everything was fine and nothing happened when he left. Could something have happened after he left?
Ye Xuanqi felt a little uneasy.
When she just woke up from the dream, she had a lot to say to him, but as her emotions calmed down along the way, she didn't know what to say.
But the scene in her dream kept appearing in her mind. He was covered in blood during the sacrifice, but he was calm and composed, with the corners of his lips raised with tenderness: "I will exchange my blood for your rebirth, and I only wish you peace and happiness!"
Whenever Song Yunxi thought of the words he said before he died, he felt his eyes getting hot and everything in front of him became blurry.
"Why are you so stupid?"
Ye Xuanqi didn't know why she said that. When he was confused, he saw the tears in her eyes and his heart tightened for no reason.
Tears finally fell from Song Yunxi's eyes: "Why are you so love-brained? Is it worth it to sacrifice your life for a dead person?"
Because of what she saw in her previous life, she had a one-sided view that he was deeply in love with Song Muxue, and she cursed him so much in her heart. She felt guilty just thinking about it.
But she was right about one thing—
He is really too love-brained.
Ye Xuanqi immediately understood what she was talking about and asked calmly, "You know everything?"
She has his blood in her body, and one day all their memories will be awakened and connected, this is what Song Wentian once said.
But he didn't expect that she knew everything so early.
Song Yunxi nodded: "I saw it in my dream."
Ye Xuanqi smiled with relief: "As long as it can give you the chance to be reborn, whatever I do is worth it!"
What's more, she was really reborn, and she also defied fate and completely changed her destiny.
Ye Xuanqi hesitated for a moment, but still carefully raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her cheek: "You don't have to think about anything or feel burdened. Just do whatever you want to do. I will always be behind you."
He knew Song Yunxi's ideals and ambitions, and also knew her aversion to love, so he didn't want to use this to restrain her, nor did he want to use blackmail to force her to accept his feelings.
Song Yunxi rolled her eyes at him and cursed coquettishly, "What a fool!"
He looks like a smart and thoughtful person, but no one would have thought that he is actually a simple-minded, naive and naive person in his next life.
