Feeling my face changed a little, Mrs. Hanyu smiled and said, "Miss Yan must be familiar with these girls."

I smiled, how could I be unfamiliar?

I have been involved with these three women for half a lifetime, so how could I be unfamiliar with them?

However, the words of this Mrs. Hanyu made me a little stunned - it turned out that Yang Jinqiao had known Shen Rou, Nangong Lizhu, and Chang Qing since she was a child. However, it was not surprising to think about it. After all, these people can be regarded as famous families in the capital, so the ladies of the rich and embroidered families naturally had their circle of dating, and they would know each other since they were young, which was not surprising at all.

Even when I talked to Chang Qing over there, she didn't completely disgust Nangong Lizhu. I think they grew up together since childhood. Although they later fought for favors in the harem for their own family, the friendship that grew up together did not completely disappear.

I smiled and said, "It turns out that Miss Jin Qiao, Empress, and Concubine Li-" I paused for a moment before remembering that Nangong Lizhu had been demoted before. I don't know if her grade has changed over the years, so I couldn't say more. I just smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm all friends with them."

"Yes. But Jin Qiao and they couldn't get along."

"Why?"

Mrs. Hanyu looked at me with a smile and said, "Jin Qiao has refused to come back to see us all these years, but she went to see Miss Yan alone. It shows that you two have a deep relationship. I think she must tell you about her life experience."

“…”

I was silent for a moment.

By the way, Yang Jinqiao's mother is a dancer, and her identity is only considered a concubine. She gets along with Shen Rou, Nangong Lizhu and Chang Qing, and is not naturally shorter. She is a strong woman and is also very sensitive. It is not surprising that she can't get along with them.

"And—" Mrs. Hanyu continued: "This girl Jin Qiao is very wild and different from those girls. Their marriages obediently obey the arrangements of their elders, but Jin Qiao..." She said herself, her eyes dimmed.

The marriage of those young ladies was indeed obedient to the arrangements of their elders, especially Shen Rou. I witnessed the union between her and Pei Yuanhao from beginning to end. Speaking of which, I don’t know if she has her own love and hate in her heart, but even if she has it, she has no choice when facing her family and such powerful imperial power.

Therefore, even Chang Qing could only bury Huang Tianba's shadow in her heart.

But Yang Jinqiao is different from them. Even though her father sent to Shangyang Palace and became Pei Yuanhao's concubine, she still refused to surrender to such a fate, but instead used her life's happiness to make a bet. Although in the end, she still lost, and she and Yang Yunhui were unable to stay together from old age.

I don’t know why Mrs. Hanyu suddenly told me this, but to be safe, I didn’t answer that, but smiled embarrassedly: “No matter what, Mrs. Jin Qiao still married into Shangyang Palace. This is also following the orders of Lord Yang and his wife.”

"You don't know what the fuss was like at that time."

"Come on?"

I frowned in shock and looked up at her: "Who's making trouble?"

Mrs. Hanyu smiled faintly: "Of course it's the girl from the Nangong family."

“…!”

Nangong Lizhu?!

I was a little surprised and completely lost my reaction. I looked at her blankly: "She? Why do she want--"

Mrs. Hanyu said, "Half was because Jin Qiao wanted to marry into Shangyang Palace. Another reason was probably because the prince had decided to choose a concubine at that time. That girl usually couldn't tell that she was so strong. I heard that even the imperial doctors were sent to the Nangong Mansion in the palace. Later, for a while, she did not appear in front of everyone."

I gasped.

I know some of their past, and I once heard Nangong Lizhu say that Pei Yuanhao refused to give up the throne and chose to oppose Queen Yin and others, that is, he gave up the possibility of being with Nangong Lizhu. At that time, his behavior should have deeply hurt her, but I don’t know what he hurt her.

But I didn't expect that today, I heard about it from Mrs. Hanyu.

I stammered, "Then she-"

Mrs. Hanyu smiled and said, "Of course, the people in the Nangong family don't say those things, but they always say things. I heard that at that time, she made the people in the family unable to suppress them. Later, it was Emperor Yin - her aunt who left the palace herself and went to the Nangong family to visit the girl, and she finally calmed down."

“…”

It was said that it was a visit, but it could not be a real visit. I could hear Mrs. Hanyu's tone. Queen Yin's methods made me suffer a lot back then. If she was not that kind of person, I was afraid that Pei Yuanxiu would not have such deep scheming.

In fact, the matter is very simple. Pei Yuanhao and Nangong Lizhu have been childhood sweethearts since childhood and are in love with each other. If they can really be together, it will be a story on earth. One was born in the imperial family and the other was a lady from a family with close contact with the royal family. Their marriage was completely beyond their control. Pei Yuanhao accepted Yang Jinqiao at that time, that is, the alliance formed with the royal merchant Yang Wanyun and Yang Yunhui, which showed that he had the intention to seize the throne. Of course, Empress Yin had to immediately find a better support for the prince, that is, the Nangong family. In this way, the two of them were completely broken up.

Thinking about it now, in the whole thing, only Nangong Lizhu, who is so cute and pitiful.

At that time, she probably wouldn't understand why the love she regards as life is so vulnerable in the eyes of these people, but now she must have understood very well that those loves, when facing the imperial power, are just passing clouds.

Losing the pure and simple woman who would have been for him for everything, she has gained such a deep-scheming and learning to plan people's hearts today. For Pei Yuanhao, is it joy or sorrow?

However, I felt something was wrong in my heart.

Why did Mrs. Hanyu come to tell me this?

Even though Nangong Lizhu once fought with me for life and death, everything is over now. As long as I don’t look back, I will have no connection with them. Is it meaningful to tell me about their past events?

Thinking of this, I smiled and said, "But, all these have passed."

"Yes, it's all over."

Mrs. Hanyu smiled, but there was no smile in her bright eyes.

I even felt a little sharp thorn, and shot out from her eyes.

Then, I heard her as if she was suppressing something and slowly said, "But there are always some things that cannot pass, and there is no way to pass them."

"..." I was stunned for a moment: "Madam Hanyu means--"

She said: "Miss Yan is also a mother, so of course she knows what I mean."

“…”

"Yun Hui is my only son."

“…”

"It was also the hope of the entire Yang family."

“…”

"I heard that when he died, there was a man who was always by his side to comfort him."

“…”

"It's you, Miss Yan, right?"

“…”

At this time, I could no longer speak, and I felt that the blood on my face faded in an instant, leaving a pale face, and even my fingers became cold. When I put them on the table, I lost my feeling.

Her words brought me back to that day at once.

When I was still in Shengjing, I watched a blood mist rise on Yang Yunhui's chest. The mist was steaming, dyeing my eyes red, and it seemed to dye the whole world red. When I stumbled down the long steps and picked him up, his eyes had lost the possibility of life.

I subconsciously clenched my fists.

Mrs. Hanyu's voice echoed in my ears like a ghost - "It's you, right?"

“…”

I was silent, and choked, slowly raised my head, looked at the mother in front of me, and finally nodded gently: "Yes."

"Okay." Mrs. Hanyu smiled and her lips curled up, but I felt that it was the smile she made. At this time, she actually didn't want to laugh at all. I even felt a depressed anger from her breath.

Perhaps, it is not just suppressed at this time.

She said, "I have something to ask you all the time."

"Please say it."

"Who did he send troops from Dongzhou?"

“…Huang Tianba.”

"That's the man from Jiangnan?"

"yes."

"Who leads the troops?"

"It should be Mr. Yang Yunhui."

"Who issued the order?"

"This--" I recalled what happened back then, but I was always vague about this. I remember when I asked Yang Yunhui if Pei Yuanhao was coming to save me, he answered "Huang Tianba", which means that Pei Yuanhao probably did not give an order.

But if he didn't give the order, Yang Yunhui wouldn't be able to tune those soldiers.

So I shook my head: "I, I don't know either."

Mrs. Hanyu's face darkened slightly, but she didn't say anything, and continued to ask: "Later they were captured by Shengjing. How did the prince of Shengjing treat them?"

I thought about it and said, "Closed us all."

"Even you are locked?"

"yes."

“How long have you been closed?”

"More than ten days."

"Have you beat and scolded me?"

"……No."

"Yun Hui, weren't executed by them?"

I shook my head: "No."

My question and answer with her, simple and neat, but my heart was never as calm as my expression at this moment. On the contrary, there were storms and waves.

Why did Mrs. Hanyu suddenly ask about what happened back then?

Is she investigating the cause of Yang Yunhui's death?

It is no secret that Yang Yunhui died in Shengjing, under the coercion of Luo Shi, and under the sword of Huang Tianba, and she did not ask a question. Obviously, this is not what she wants to investigate.
