(1/2)

The carriage was swaying all the way, but the more I walked behind, the road became more and more bumpy. Caiwei and I were bumped into the carriage, especially Caiwei. Once the wheels were probably pressed over a stone, which immediately pushed her down. When the forehead hit the car board, it was red.

Even if I didn't look out the window, I knew that we had left the city gate and walked out of the countryside.

It's getting colder and colder.

Fortunately, I was prepared for a long time, and probably guessed that the place we were going to was in the suburbs, so I asked them to prepare a thick blouse in the car first. Caiwei put it on me and stuffed the stove in my hand. The two of them bumped into the car for a while, and finally heard a very light neighing sound from the horses in front of me.

Our carriage stopped.

Lao Xia turned around and said, "Madam, we are here."

I nodded, Caiwei hurried over and helped me get off the carriage, but found that it was completely white around me. As soon as I got off the car, my feet fell into the snow and felt a chill immediately.

Looking around, we arrived in a wilderness, surrounded by mountains and frozen rivers, with dead trees standing all around, and the snow on the branches made the dead trees crystal white, like jade trees in the moon palace. In this white snow, our carriage was right in front of us, and a horse was parked there, leaving us instructions along the way and Du Yan who led us here.

As soon as he saw us, he immediately got off his horse and walked over with the reins: "Madam."

I nodded, and when I opened my mouth, I let out a breath of white breath, which made me amuse myself. I glanced around and said, "It's this?"

"In front." He pointed, there was a small mountain in front of him: "Just turn over, I'm afraid they will see it, so I didn't follow him."

"How long has he been there?"

"It takes about a cup of tea."

"oh."

I nodded, pulled the wind flare tighter on my body, and slowly walked towards the other side.

This place is not as good as the city. Although the ground looks white and flat, the snow is covered with rocks and dead branches. I turned several times after only two steps. If Du Yan hadn't supported me quickly with his eyes and hands, I would have fallen into the snow. If I hit the rocks, it might not have been as simple as redness and swelling.

Du Yan said, "Madam, be careful."

I nodded, carefully used the soles of my shoes to push away the snow, and walked a few more steps forward.

The creaking sound sounded inexplicably pleasant when I stepped into the snow. But when I raised my feet, the mud and snow foam on my shoes made me upset. I had just walked two steps forward and was about to turn over the foot of the mountain, but suddenly I heard a creaking sound not far away in front of me.

Someone came over in the snow.

In such a wilderness, there will naturally be no pedestrians, so of course the people who came here are-

I was also a little panicked for a moment, and Du Yan and Caiwei looked at me at this moment.

Behind me are the carriage and Du Yan's horse. Although the surrounding forest is quite dense, it is not easy to hide these things. Besides, the footsteps are getting closer and closer, and it seems that they are not far away from us.

I thought about it, then put the wind flask on my shoulders again, and simply looked up and walked forward.

Caiwei suddenly became anxious and lowered her voice: "Madam!"

As soon as they finished speaking, several figures appeared in the woods ahead. When they came over, they came into my sight and the leader immediately froze there.

Wu Yanqiu stared at me with wide eyes: "You - why are you -"

I stood there without moving, and the smile on my face was as warm as the snow around me, and I said, "Mr. Wu, what a coincidence."

He was still a little overwhelmed: "Why are you here?"

"I also want to know that in such a cold day, Lord Wu is newlywed again. He is not at home and runs to the wilderness to do what?" As he said that, I took a few steps and looked behind him: "What is this place? Lord Wu is so entangled with so much that he doesn't even want to tell his newlywed wife."

Wu Yanqiu immediately felt something from my words: "Is it-Jin Yao?"

As soon as I mentioned Jin Yao's name, an angry expression immediately appeared on my face: "It's a blessing that Lord Wu still knows that it's your newlywed wife."

Hearing me aggravated the word "newly married", Wu Yanqiu's expression became more complicated.

However, he was an important official of the court and soon calmed down.

He said, "It was Jinyao who asked you to come-she asked you to follow me?"

I curled the corners of my lips lightly: "Stalking? How could she want this? She was stupid. She was wronged and only knew torture herself, but I wanted to ask Mr. Wu, who are you tortured by this?"

Hearing that my tone was not only rushing, but also a hint of resentment, Wu Yanqiu also frowned. He turned his head and said to the servants behind him: "You go there and guard."

"yes."

Those few people retreated.

Wu Yanqiu took a deep breath, looked up at me, and said with a smile: "Madam seems very angry today."

I said, "Mr. Wu, if you have a beloved sister who is neglected after she gets married to her husband's house and stays alone on the wedding night, will you still laugh?"

His smile suddenly became a little stiff.

After a while, he said, "Jin Yao—had you told me?"

"When people suffer grievances, they either resist or need to talk."

“…”

"She can't resist you. What else can she do except talk to me?"

“…”

He stood in the snow, and his face showed a haggard look. After a while, he sighed softly and said, "I have said a long time ago that she is not suitable for my wife, and she and I are not suitable at all."

"Whether it is suitable, you are already married." I walked up to him and looked straight into his eyes: "Even if it is not suitable, the emperor has given you marriage. Since all this is true, why can't you accept her well?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I said, we are not suitable!"

He frowned and exacerbated: "She is just an ignorant little girl!"

My brows also frowned.

But this time, I didn't argue with him immediately, but the inflamed aura in my chest made me feel a little painful. I worked hard for a long time before my anger calmed down a little, and then said, "Mr. Wu, in your eyes, can she be the one who dressed up as a man and went to the restaurant to peek at you?"

“…”

"Don't you allow her to grow up?"

Wu Yanqiu said: "I didn't see any difference between her and the past."

I gritted my teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll tell you how different she is from the past."

“…”

"If it were Yang Jinyao from the past, she would definitely slap the table and even make a big fuss to seek justice for herself when she met someone who was so cold to her."

“…”

"But she just cried in my arms."

“…”

"I'll make her feel cold to you, at least don't put all your body and mind on you, because in that way, I'll give everyone else all the opportunities that can hurt you, but she still can't do it."

“…”

"Even if she comes to my house every day, I can feel that she is absent-minded. The later it is, the more anxious she is. Only when I go back can I see her happier."

“…”

"I think she's been possessed from the first time she saw you, but I can't pull it back."

“…”

Actually, I understand very well that Yang Jinyao fell in love with him at first sight, and it is because of this that she is so painful when the marriage is rejected. I watched her walk step by step, and was played with by fate's hands in a short time. But even so, when she was given a marriage, her smile was still as bright as before.

But that seemed to be her last glory.

After a woman handed over a heart to a man, she presented all the opportunities that could hurt herself with both hands.

"And you, Lord Wu," I walked to him and stared in his eyes: "I want to know how you have to let a girl who is so bright that she smiles, and it's for you. Who told me that I was moved, and what about your heart? Where are you now?"

He didn't say anything, but stood there with complicated eyes. I could almost see many emotions collide in his eyes, as if many invisible hands were desperately tearing him.

"Besides," I looked at his conflicted and struggling, and I added another sentence: "You really don't understand, does Concubine Ning ask the emperor to give you the purpose of marriage?"

"..." He was stunned and looked up at me: "What's the purpose?"

I sighed lightly and said, "Yang Jinqiao, who is now Concubine Ning, said that she was planned to enter the palace by the queen by the emperor."

He said, "I understand."

"I think even if you don't know something about her in the past, you should have heard of it."

Yang Jinqiao's affairs can be hidden from the world, but how can it be hidden from the Grand Tutor Queen? It is even more impossible for Wu Yanqiu to not know anything about it.

Looking at his silent appearance, I was even more sure of this, and then said, "The Empress has read my letter and knows about you, so she gave up letting Jin Yao enter the palace and chose Yang Jinqiao. She also had risks in doing this. If Yang Jinqiao enters the palace with grudges and fights against the Empress, and - some other people are restored, do you think the Empress's position in the harem is still stable?"

“…”

"But, when she was in Taimiao, Yang Jinqiao asked the emperor to give you a marriage. Do you understand the significance of her move?"

“…”

"She was telling the queen that she was plotted against and accepted her fate."

“…”

In fact, it was not to bear to accept his fate, but she knew very well that doing so was good to her, to Yang Jinyao and the Yang family, but she couldn't make up that cruelty herself, and Chang Qing and my plot made her eventually embark on this path.

More importantly, she affirmed the unity of the Grand Tutor, the Queen and their Yang family, and prospered and lost. In this way, Chang Qing would believe that she did not hold a grudge against herself. After all, the danger in the harem was no less than those in the previous dynasty's open and secret struggles, and Chang Qing would not dare to let anyone she did not trust completely by her side. Only when Yang Jinqiao expressed her opinion with this matter, Chang Qing would completely let go of her guard and believe her.

Wu Yanqiu looked at me and his eyes suddenly lit up.
