Chapter 484 Regent, please stay (33)
Father Yun is a very kind person, both to people and things, but when he is serious, he is really annoying and makes him afraid to breathe.
When he returned to the house in the afternoon today, Yun's father's expression was horribly grave, and he locked himself in the study as soon as he returned home.
Yun Mu sat in the pavilion in the yard and said to Yun Qian, who had just returned from outside: "Your father entered the study as soon as he came back. He must have encountered something unpleasant when he went to court."
Yun Qian glanced in the direction of the study and said, "Mom, don't worry. The situation in the officialdom is constantly changing, and it's hard to achieve success smoothly."
"That's right, I can't do anything except worry about your father." Yun Mu said.
The coldness of early spring has passed, the trees have begun to sprout new buds, and the sunshine and breeze blend just right, making people feel relaxed and happy.
The willow branches in the yard are bent over and hanging on the water of the pond. They ripple in circles as the wind blows lightly on the water.
Yun Yu looked at the scenery in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh: "It's spring again."
Yun Qian has been staying at home these days because Yanxu was ordered by the emperor to go to the border. Border riots broke out again. The emperor wanted to send a suitable person to suppress the riots. Naturally, the well-known regent was more suitable.
In order to prevent Prime Minister Liu from doing anything while Yan Xu was away from the capital, Chen Feng was left behind to secretly observe Prime Minister Liu's every move and was also ordered by Yun Qian.
Yun Mu retracted her gaze from the scenery and instead fell on Yun Qian. Yun Qian looked at the tea cup in her hand in trance.
"I heard that His Highness will be back in a few days." Yun Mu suddenly said.
Upon hearing the word "Your Highness," Yun Qian could already predict the situation skillfully, "He will arrive in Beijing in three days."
A few seconds after he finished speaking, Yun Qian suddenly felt something was wrong. When he raised his head, he met his mother's teasing gaze.
Yun Mu didn't know about the regent, but she still knew her child very well. That day at the dinner table, she saw some subtleties between the two.
Yun Qian touched her warm cheek, "...Mother, do you know everything?"
Yun Mu nodded, "I guess a little bit."
"In addition, you always ran outside before and asked Ling'er to cover you. I can guess pretty well."
Ling'er, who was standing next to Yun Qian, pushed back a step to avoid the life-threatening hand of his young lady, "Miss, you can't rely on Ling'er for this. Ling'er can be regarded as someone who has grown up under Madam's watch, so he understands her so well. It’s too embarrassing for Ling’er to hide this from Madam.”
Yun Qian: "..."
It turned out that the colander was beside her.
Yun Mu smiled and stopped the two people who were about to start a fight, "Okay, you are still like a child no matter how old you are."
"After that day, my mother has not yet come to ask, how far are you and His Highness the Regent?"
"...Ah," Yun Qian suddenly sat upright, "It's just...average."
Then the scene of a male vixen seducing her in Wenchi suddenly came to mind...
Well, that's right, it's just ordinary. Yun Qian hypnotized himself.
"My mother doesn't know His Highness well. I still have many impressions of His Highness from your father. We had dinner together that day, and my mother also noticed him. He is indeed a good person."
"Mom and your father don't ask for anything else. It's good that you live a happy life."
Yun Qian and Yun Mu looked at each other and said nothing, but seemed to have said everything.
---
The sound of two footsteps echoed in the long and quiet alley, a master and a servant walking leisurely.
"The piece of fabric I ordered yesterday was brought back earlier. It is used to make new clothes for my mother." Yun Qian said.
Ling'er nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Miss, I've already told them."
There seemed to be some movement behind them, and a figure quickly shuttled through the darkness, but Yun Qian and the others did not notice it and continued to say what they wanted to say.
The figure followed behind the two of them. Facing the two defenseless women, the pursuit was not particularly strenuous, so he felt a little relaxed.
At the next corner, the figure turned around, but was shocked to find that the two people in front of him were missing.
The man's expression changed for a moment, his ears moved, and he sensed the slight movement behind him, but when he turned around to resist, the sharp blade of the man behind him had already reached his fragile neck.
The cold blade touched his skin, giving the man goosebumps.
"Don't move." It was Moronfeng's voice.
And the target person that the man wanted to track was slowly and leisurely walking from the darkness.
"Brother, the noise you made when chasing someone just now was a bit loud." Yun Qian raised a finger and shook it left and right, her voice a little regretful.
"........."
Morrowind jammed the man's neck with a knife, and pulled open his collar with his other hand, revealing the familiar black tattoo.
Yun Qian showed a look of understanding. She was right. Of course, Prime Minister Liu would not want to sit back and wait for death in the past few days when Yan Xu was away. It was only a matter of time before he took action.
"Prime Minister Liu sent you here, right?" Yun Qian corrected himself after speaking, "Oh no, it should be Prime Minister Liu who made a deal with your boss, and your boss sent you here."
The man gritted his teeth and said nothing.
It was an expected reaction, and Yun Qian didn't expect the man to tell her everything just by asking her.
Yun Qian looked at Chen Feng, "It just so happens that your Highness is coming back, so take him back to the palace."
"Yes."
……
The Prince Regent's Palace had been quiet for a few days, but it was lively again today.
In fact, it can't be called lively, but at least it is more smoky than when only the servants were there.
Before Yanxu met Yun Qian, the house was also so quiet. Apart from the conversation between the servants, there was no more conversation, because His Highness had never invited friends to the house.
After Yun Qian arrived, the palace seemed to be revitalized, and the palace, which was close to the bustling market, finally became more integrated into the world.
"Uncle Meng, where are the batch of peaches I sent yesterday?" Yun Qian twisted a cherry in her hand and put it in her mouth.
The bright red cherry juice dyes the lips with a natural and bright color, like natural lip balm.
The old housekeeper walked in with a smile on his face: "Miss, I've put them all in the kitchen. I'll have some washed up later."
It was past noon, and Yun Qian felt a little sleepy after eating. She lay on the table like a boneless body, and she did not forget to tell Ling'er beside her to wake her up when Yanxu came back.
Then he fell asleep in a daze.
The gently blowing wind didn't know when to stop, and the sea of flowers in Yun Qian's dream also stopped swaying. Without any other senses, the warmth coming from his forehead became even more obvious.
Yun Qian opened her eyes in confusion and faced an enlarged version of a beautiful face.
Without giving Yun Qian time to react, Yanxu had already kissed her, and her breaths slowly blended together. Most of the sleepiness in Yun Qian's eyes was gone, and they were gradually enveloped by a layer of watery light.
