Although Yunyin Villa is outside Chang'an City, it seems to be isolated from the world at this time. Except for the messenger crows that land on the branches in the backyard on time every day, everything here is as quiet as water, which is in stark contrast to the dynamism of the capital city not far away.

Compared.

Yinniang brought a bowl of mung bean soup and placed it in front of Bai Ya's bed. The woman who had escaped from decades of palace life did not feel the joy she had imagined, nor the relief of having a great revenge, nor even the enthusiasm of seeing each other after a long absence, but only

She was silent and indifferent, as if the ups and downs of so many years had nothing to do with her. She didn't know what to say to break the silence these days, so she could only follow the prince's instructions and send her some of her favorite food.

This is the leftmost courtyard of Yunyin Villa. It has been empty and no one has lived in it since it was built. There are many flowers and trees planted in the courtyard. No matter what season, you can see the blooming flowers from the open window. She

Knowing that this was specially created by the prince for an impossible person, and when this impossible person miraculously returned to him, it was like there was a chasm between the two of them, and there was no longer the same feeling that they had when they first met when they were young.

A year of talking about everything.

Yinniang secretly regretted it, and saw Bai Ya's brows frowning slightly, and she looked down at today's mung bean soup in confusion. Before she could put down the bowl in her hand, a smiling head suddenly came out of the door, and she didn't care about him.

She used to be the eminent empress dowager, and asked with an exaggerated smile: "Isn't it to your liking? I cooked this bowl of mung bean soup. They said it needs to be brewed with water from the nectar spring behind the mountain to make it delicious. Today

I ran to fetch water early in the morning, but unfortunately my cooking skills were not good and it was not as delicious as Yinniang's."

"Miss Yun." Yinniang saw her grabbing her head and walking into the room. She kept chattering, and she quickly waved her hands in embarrassment and explained, "I told you that the water in the Ganlu Spring is sweet and delicious. You

You have to add so many sugar cubes to it, the mung bean soup must be too greasy..."

"It tastes better if it's sweeter!" Yun Xiao retorted seriously. Yin Niang clicked her tongue. When she was about to say something, she suddenly saw Bai Ya, who had been glum all the time, smiling slightly. The face of a woman who had been devastated by various drugs for ten years

She was haggard, in her forties and already had a head full of white hair. Only her forbearing and firm eyes shone brightly, and she spoke for a rare moment, "Yinniang tastes light, but the mung bean soup cooked by Miss Yun is better."

It suits my taste."

Yinniang was secretly happy. After all, Bai Ya had been taciturn since she came to Yunyin Villa. Although the prince forcibly detained Xue Shang to treat her, the trauma in her heart was obviously much more serious than her body. Now she would finally see her exposed.

With a smile on her face, Yin Niang also praised Yun Xiao in a funny way, and then found an excuse to run out of the room. Yun Xiao naturally sat down beside her bed. For some reason, she always felt particularly sorry for this woman who was full of secrets. Bai Ya

He took the initiative to hold her hand and said in a low voice: "I heard Yinniang tell me the whole story. I really want to thank you for helping me this time."

"I didn't do anything..." Yun Xiao muttered in a low voice. Thinking of Di Zhong who suddenly arrived and then disappeared, his expression couldn't help but darken. Bai Ya looked at her curiously and suddenly raised her hand.

He touched her cheek and smiled softly, "If the girl hadn't been persuaded by Yin Niang to come and save me, I would have encountered something unexpected in Fengluan Palace at that time, and the prince would have been implicated..."

"Why are you involved? You have suffered so much and yet you still speak for him." Yun Xiao interrupted her and pouted unhappily, thinking of the man who had appeared once half a month ago and had not been heard from since.

Prince Xian was even more angry. Prince Xian had a main wife, two side wives, and nine children. With the downfall of Guo Youan, he is now even more powerful. He has gained everything, except for the woman who owes him a debt.

Her legitimate identity can only hide her in this secluded place forever.

Sending the woman she liked to her father... This matter made her feel particularly uncomfortable every time she thought about it. But in front of Bai Ya, Yun Xiao couldn't say much. Bai Ya shook her head,

He could tell her thoughts at a glance and defended that person in a low voice, "The political situation in the world is undergoing a major reshuffle. The most important thing for the prince right now is to find out Guo Youan's confidants and remnants. The emperor was assassinated, and the palace must be in chaos. Now he will

I’m very busy, so naturally I can’t find time to come here often.”

"He is quite busy." Yun Xiao snorted coldly from her nose, mocking her in a strange way, "He is busy organizing your funeral! Bad luck!"

"Huh?" Bai Ya tilted her head and was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Yun Xiao strangely touched Bai Ya's forehead and quickly comforted her, "Don't be sad. Although it is unlucky to have a bunch of people crying in mourning.

But we can’t be superstitious and just ignore them.”

Bai Ya waved her hands, but instead of showing any sadness, her face slowly turned rosy: "The Empress Dowager is dead, so Bai Ya can live."

Yun Xiao looked at her with confusion, and then heard Yinniang's voice coming over with joy: "Miss Yun, just now the crow sent a message, bringing the latest news from Dunhuang, please go ahead and have a look!"

Yun Xiao agreed repeatedly, hurriedly said a few words and then got up and left. As soon as he walked into the yard, there was a crow on the back of Dark Crow's hand. When he saw her coming, he quickly flapped his wings and flew to the branch. Yun Shu was in the pavilion.

Li waved to her happily, showing an expression of relief: "It's the second brother who sent me a message, saying that he has been in contact with your senior brother."

"Senior brother?" Yun Xiao was surprised and happy. She snatched the letter from Yun Shu's hand and read it carefully. A huge stone finally fell to her heart.

Xiao Qianye heard the noise outside, and in a blink of an eye, he was forced to lie on the bed for a month under Yun Xiao's threat. Now he saw her smiling face from the window, and quickly got up quietly while she was in a good mood to stretch her muscles.

, he walked out of the room cautiously, not forgetting to pretend to praise how nice the weather was, and then stiffly leaned over and sat next to Yun Shu. Yun Xiao rolled her eyes and stared at him, seeing that he had been quite obedient this month.

Reluctantly not taking action for his own sake, Xiao Qianye breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at the letter and asked: "Senior brother, what happened to them?"

"Senior brother has already found senior sister and the others." Yun Xiao threw the letter to him and said with lingering fear, "Sangqi was going to report to the new military camp, but he happened to meet Wen Ting's good friend Xiaodie when he went home to pack his things.

, it turns out that she is the youngest daughter of Prince Xian. In order to help the prince keep an eye on the news in Dunhuang, she lives in a tavern incognito. Over the past year, in order to help General Wen rehabilitate, she has ventured into Lei Gongmo's mansion alone. Sanqi told her

When the truth came out, Lei Gongmo was still eating and drinking at home! As soon as the two chatted, they realized that something was wrong, so they quickly found the Yueshi ruins overnight and hid. As expected, within a few days there were soldiers and horses acting strangely outside searching for them.

Fortunately, they were smart and didn't show up. They didn't drive away the pursuers until their senior brother passed by. Now Guo You'an fell and Dunhuang had to be reshuffled. The senior brother asked Ben to go back first with his senior sister and Miss Wen, but Xiaodie

If they have to go together, the prince's people can't stop them, so they can only go to Kunlun together."

Xiao Qianye grinned awkwardly and muttered: "Kunlun Mountain is almost turning into a refugee camp."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Yun Xiao and scolded: "Kunlun's ancestral motto is to 'help the world with compassion', and you still complain!"

"I'm not complaining. I'm just telling the truth." Xiao Qianye looked at her with a smile. Seeing that she turned away angrily and ignored him, he could only shut her mouth knowingly. Yun Shu came over with a giggle.

, pushed his shoulder and winked, "I heard that the prince gave a huge reward. Anyway, everything here has been solved. The remaining mess is beyond the reach of outsiders like us. Do you want to work with us?"

I'm going to Mobei for a walk. Doesn't she want to learn to ride a horse? I can lend you the best horse, and I'm sure it will make her smile from ear to ear. Then you can share some benefits with me, hehe."

"A huge reward?" Yun Xiao didn't know when she got close to the two of them, blinked and asked curiously, "Really? How much is it?"

"Uh..." Yun Shu scratched his head with a surprised expression. He felt as if he had done something wrong. He secretly looked at Xiao Qianye and asked in a low voice, "You... you didn't tell her? Do you want to keep it for yourself?"

Xiao Qianye coughed in embarrassment. This matter was originally intended to fill the vacancy in the Mirror Pavilion before he opened his mouth to Prince Xian, so he was too embarrassed to tell Yun Xiao that Yun Shu would suddenly mention it.

He seemed to have an ulterior motive, so he simply showed off his cards without doing anything else: "The prince promised to give me three thousand 'plants' a year, and he will pay for three consecutive years..."

"What do you want so much money for?" Before he could finish speaking, Yun Xiao calculated the accounts with his fingers in a serious manner. He quickly realized what he wanted, and asked seriously with a slight look on his face, "Is it for Fei Yuan?

"

Xiao Qianye was startled, Yun Xiao frowned as if thinking about something, and suddenly said to himself: "That's right, the fragmentation has caused destruction to many cities in the four realms, and reconstruction requires a lot of money. Instead of continuing

Rather than taking risks and doing business on the black market, it is better to kill Prince Yixian severely. Anyway, he has raised so many killers, and he gives them to others and to us. Guo Youan's house was also ransacked at this time, and he must have made a lot from it.

Oily and watery, share it with us, it’s reasonable.”

He never expected that she would say such a thing, so Yun Shu gave her a thumbs up with admiration: "Yunmei is so right, why don't you give up on the money you earn based on your ability? You can't get along with anyone and you can't get along with money.

"

Xiao Qianye looked at Yun Xiao, who was smiling like a flower. He thought she would be angry, but in the end she supported him without hesitation.

"It's time for you to go back and take a look." While he was in a daze, Yun Xiao had already pinched the tip of his nose and scolded him, "Last time I left in a hurry and didn't even say hello to my elder brother. After all this time, you don't know how to pass it on to others.

I hope you are safe, and the matter has been resolved. Rather than being a guest here, it is better to go home and recuperate. There is a case of your injury in Danzhen Palace, and the treatment will be much easier."

He hesitated for a moment before he wanted to refuse, and suddenly he heard Di Zhong's voice directly ringing in his mind after a long absence: "Go back to Feiyuan. I just killed Xiyou in Kunlun Mountain. The blood stains have not been completely eliminated. You can take her wherever you want."

, in short, don’t go back to Kunlun.”

Xiao Qianye nodded calmly. Yun Xiao was happier than him. He immediately turned around and chatted with Yun Shu about the things on Feiyuan. He listened uneasily and was also thinking about other things secretly -
