Chapter 191 Palace Ban
"Yunzheng..." I woke up from a deep sleep, and suddenly opened my eyes, "Yunzheng..."

The room was empty, where was Yun Zheng?I sat up from the bed and looked around. Could it be that the warm and peaceful embrace last night was a hallucination after I was drunk?But why do my fingertips feel warm?
"Yunzheng..." My tears rolled down, "You lied to me, you lied to me, you said you wouldn't leave, you lied to me..."

"Sister..." Xiaohong heard the sound and turned into the inner room, "Sister, are you awake? Why are you crying?"

"Xiaohong, I saw Yunzheng yesterday, is it him? Is he back?" I grabbed her hand in a panic, "Xiaohong, tell me quickly, tell me quickly..."

"Sister, no, it's because you're drunk, why did my uncle come back?" Xiaohong looked at me worriedly, "You're the one who was drunk!"

"Drunk?" I looked at her in a daze, looking at her expression, I must have thought that I was still drunk, right?I smiled miserably: "So I can see Yun Zheng when I'm drunk, so I'd rather be drunk every day."

"Sister..." Xiaohong held my hand and sobbed, "My uncle has been gone for so long, don't suffer yourself, my uncle has a soul in the sky, and he won't be happy."

I sat there blankly, and after a long while, I slowly said: "Xiaohong, I'm fine, you go fetch water and let me freshen up."

After washing up, Hui Niang brought Nuo'er over.As soon as Nuo'er saw me, she opened her arms and staggered towards me: "Mother..."

I quickly squatted down and hugged his small body, fearing that he would fall.Nuoer giggled in my arms: "Mother, Xiangxiang..."

I kissed his little face, looked at his eyebrows and eyes that resembled Yun Zheng, and my heart was sour and sweet: "Nuoer, good baby..."

In the past few days, I have been bothered all day about the surrender of General Ji, but every time I see Nuoer's smiling face, I immediately forget everything.This child is my darling and my pistachio. He seldom cries, and always smiles at everyone. He is very pleasing.

"Nuo'er, let's go, let's pay our respects to Grandpa." Xiao Hong and I took Nuo'er by the hand and went to the old man's courtyard.This is a daily homework. The old man's health is getting worse and worse. Seeing Nuo'er every day is his happiest thing. I also intend to let Nuo'er stay by his side more often.

When I entered the yard, I saw An Yuanxi coming out from the front. I lowered my eyelids and didn't want to pay attention to him, but Nuo'er was very happy to see him, and called him in a childish voice: "Uncle..." Then let go of my hand, Pounce on him.He hurried forward to hug Nuo'er, and Nuo'er patted his face very happy.An Yuanxi let Nuoer play with his face, glanced at me in a blink of an eye, and walked up to me: "Sister-in-law!"

I didn't make a sound, he whispered: "I was wrong yesterday, I'm sorry."

I looked up at him with some surprise. Since he hit his head, I couldn't figure out his temperament. I thought he wouldn't apologize to me if he killed me, and would continue to be awkward.I bit my lip and sighed, "Forget it, my attitude is not good either."

Having nothing more to say, I reached out and hugged Nuoer: "Nuoer, let's go see my grandfather."

An Yuanxi looked at me quietly, I hugged Nuoer and passed him.An Yuanxi and I have experienced life and death together, such a close partner and lover, who would have thought that it would be so relatively silent today?
The old man's spirit is not very good. I can see that he is trying to pull himself together to play with Nuoer. I wanted to ask him some questions. Seeing him like this, I don't want to bother him for too long. I was about to say goodbye, but the old man mentioned it first. Topic: "I heard that you left someone named Duan Zhiyi living in the mansion?"

"Yes, Grandpa." I thought for a while, and finally told him about General Ji's surrender, as well as Duan Zhiyi's rescue method, while paying attention to the old man's reaction.After hearing this, the old man said calmly, "Are you going to enter the palace today?"

"Yes." I nodded. I originally planned to go to the palace to face the saint after paying respects to the old man. The information I learned from Duan Zhiyi yesterday was going to the palace to report to the emperor.The old man nodded slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, you should go and prepare, so that the emperor will know it earlier."

"Yes, Grandpa." I saw the old man close his eyes tiredly, and walk out lightly holding Nuo'er.Back in the room, Huiniang took Nuoer away, Xiaohong tidied up my clothes for me, and was about to go out, but Ping An came.Seeing me ready to go, Pingan asked in surprise, "Is sister Ye going out?"

"I want to enter the palace." I looked up at the sky outside the window and said with a smile, "Aren't you on duty today?"

"Just in time, I sneaked out of the palace." Seeing my eyes wide open, Ping An walked over worriedly, and pulled me to sit on the soft couch, "Sister, don't rush into the palace, I have something to do." tell you."

"Ping An, how could you sneak out of the palace while on duty?" I frowned and said softly, "You need to change your temperament, why are you so inappropriate?"

"Sister, it's important for me to tell you about this matter. I can't stay for a moment. You must know immediately." Ping An said eagerly.

"What's the matter?" I saw that she seldom had this expression, and said with a smile, "Something about the court?"

"En." Ping An nodded.I sighed, shook my head and said, "Ping An, you are now the emperor's courtier, don't keep telling people about the court affairs, it's not good."

"Sister, I won't be so disrespectful, it's just that this matter is related to you, so I told you." Ping An heard me scolding her, and hurriedly said.

"Related to me?" I was taken aback, "What's the matter?"

"Prince Ulei of Yaoyue Kingdom came to the palace to meet the emperor today, guess what he said to the emperor?" Pingan glanced at me and frowned.

"What are you talking about?" How could I expect what Ulei would say to the emperor? It couldn't be related to me, could it?
"Prince Ulay wants to marry you to be Attila the Golden Sword, and I beg the emperor to issue a decree to marry you." Ping An blinked, looked at me and said.

"Ulay?" I closed my eyes, my head was a little dazed, "Is he crazy? I'm a widow, how can I marry a dignified prince?"

"Sister, our Tianzhao Kingdom doesn't restrict widows from remarrying. Moreover, His Highness the prince said that the grassland people don't value these things. Let alone widows, there are cases where a brother dies and a wife is married, and a father dies and a concubine marries a concubine. "Ping'an looked incredible," Prince Ulei said that he admired his sister very much, and hoped that the emperor would achieve good things and make the two countries a century-old good relationship."

The fire in my stomach burst out, and I trembled with anger.Ulay, what a Ulay, are you afraid that the world will not be chaotic or something?Has your self-righteous and self-assertive character not changed?I clearly made my words so clear yesterday, why do you go to the emperor to make such an unreasonable request?
"Then..." I took a breath, clenched my hands tightly under my sleeves, and held my breath waiting for Ping An's answer, "What does the emperor say?"

"Your Majesty..." Ping An looked at me and paused.I couldn't help asking, "What did the emperor say?"

"The emperor said that although our Tianzhao Kingdom does not restrict widows from remarrying, Mrs. Ronghua has an elder and a young child. Her marriage, based on emotion and reason, should be decided by the elders in the family. It is not good for me to intervene. "Ping An said, "The emperor also said that although Mrs. Ronghua is a new widow, everyone in the capital knows that she has a deep relationship with Shizi Yun. Show sincerity."

This emperor knows how to do Tai Chi, he gave me so many high hats, he left me with problems, and let Ulay bother me, but he avoided it completely.I was a little annoyed, bit my lip, and said, "What did Ulay say?"

"Prince Ulei said that he also knows that Fu Ronghua and Shizi Yun are deeply in love with each other, and he also knows that you have a strong temper, so you will definitely not agree to him. He didn't want to ask the emperor for this favor at first, but when he saw you yesterday, he felt that You are not happy, he said, even if Mrs. Ronghua is angry with him, as long as the emperor makes an order, everyone must obey the emperor." Ping An said.

"Then what?" I was extremely angry at Ulay's self-righteousness. I refused so clearly yesterday, but it strengthened his determination to want me. It's ridiculous!
"The emperor said that a twisted melon is not sweet. Mrs. Ronghua is a virtuous and loyal woman. If you force a marriage, it will only be counterproductive and make the wife hate your highness. The so-called 'sincerity makes gold and stone open', if your highness Impressing Madam Ronghua with a sincere heart is a good story." Ping An said, "The emperor also said that if His Highness can make Madam Ronghua fall in love with you, then I will be relieved and I will surely fulfill your good relationship. In a hurry, I tried my best to wink at the emperor, but the emperor acted as if he didn't see it. I was so anxious that I couldn't think about it. As soon as Prince Wu Lei left, I quickly asked the emperor, why did I make such a promise to Prince Wu Lei? The emperor just He smiled and ignored me, and then he was so annoyed by me that he couldn't help it, so he asked, do you think Mrs. Ronghua will be moved by Wu Lei?"

He knew that I would never marry Ulay, why didn't he simply reject him?Just because Ulei is the prince of Yaoyue, wouldn't he offend such an important foreign envoy for a small person like me?With his "support", Ulay might come to harass me confidently.After hearing Ping An's words, I remained silent for a long time, feeling quite uncomfortable.Seeing that my complexion was not good, Pingan hurriedly said: "Anyway, I got this news and couldn't sit still, so I found an excuse to sneak out of the palace and report to my sister."

"I see." I stood up, "Thank you, safe. I'm going to the palace to see the emperor, you go home today, and let the emperor know that you reported me, I'm afraid he will blame you."

Seeing me standing up, Pingan said worriedly, "Sister, you're not going to the palace to ask the emperor's teacher to question you?"

"Fool, I have something to enter the palace." Who am I, dare to trouble the emperor?Although his prevarication against Wu Lei today may cause me trouble, but as long as I insist, Wu Lei will not dare to fight against the Yun family.

Going to the palace by car, the carriage stopped just after reaching the pilgrimage to Guangting.I opened the curtains: "what's the matter?"

"Young Madam, something seems wrong." Yun Gan replied outside the car, "The gate of the palace is closed, and there are twice as many forbidden troops guarding the gate than usual, and there is also a group of forbidden troops guarding the Bishui Bridge."

"Go to the front and have a look." I was a little suspicious, did something happen in the palace?The carriage started slowly, and before reaching the Bishui Bridge, the imperial guards had already surrounded the carriage and forced the carriage to a stop: "Who is it?"

I heard Yun Gan say loudly: "This is the carriage of Mrs. Rong Hua in the Marquis of Yongle. I have something important to enter the palace. Please let me go."

"Today there are assassins in the palace to assassinate the emperor, and the emperor issued an order to ban the palace. Without the emperor's warrant, no one is allowed to enter the palace. Madam Ronghua, please come back." A Habayashiro said loudly.

"Assassin?" I was startled, and lifted the curtain of the car, "Is the emperor alright?" Ping An didn't mention this when he came here just now, did it just happen?

"Your Majesty is a lucky man, so he is naturally safe and sound. Madam Ronghua, please come back." Nabayashiro seemed to be a small boss.I frowned and glanced at the palace in front of me. It seems that I can't get in today. I don't know what assassinated the emperor?Just as I was about to give the order to go back, there was a heavy "squeak" sound from the palace gate in front of me. I looked up and vaguely saw the side gate of the palace opened.Yun Gan said in a low voice: "Young madam, someone from the palace has come out." He paused, and then said: "It seems to be the Shuangxi father-in-law next to the emperor."

I looked up and saw the man running over in a hurry, and when he saw me, his tone was a little joyful: "Mrs. Ronghua, the emperor is about to send slaves to the Hou's mansion to invite you. I didn't expect the madam to come. Hurry up and follow the slaves." palace."

Shuangxi showed the emperor's warrant to Habayashi Jun, and Habayashi Jun let the carriage drive in.I raised the curtain and asked Shuangxi: "Eunuch Xi, is the emperor safe? Is he injured? Has the assassin been caught?"

"Returning to Madam, the assassin was not caught. Fortunately, General Ji was there, and the emperor was not injured, but General Ji was seriously injured..." Shuangxi replied in a low voice.I was startled, and lost my voice: "General Ji was seriously injured?"
