Almost immediately, I found the answer in my mind.

Liu Li, the second prince is Nian Yun!

When we were visiting the Imperial Garden, we saw the small cloak made by Liu Li for the second prince Nianyun by himself, using exactly the same fabric as this!

I still remember that she told me that it was made by her dismantling old objects from before, and the thing she dismantled might have been used by Liu Qinghan, or Wei Ningyuan when he was a child.

Realizing this, I couldn't help but breathe tighter.

At that time, when I heard her say this, I was already a little conscious. In terms of the poverty of the Liu family, I must not be able to afford such good materials, so I have been wondering if there are some problems with this, either, Liu Qinghan's life experience is problematic, or Wei Ningyuan came from a famous family. Now, seeing this found in Nangong Lizhu's secret box, my suspicion has almost been affirmed!

This gold medal for exemption from crime was held by Nangong Lizhu. I had asked her before, who gave it to her, and she replied that it was Pei Yuanxiu, but I don’t think she told the truth - how deep does Pei Yuanxiu have to her? She can’t give her this gold medal. But this makes me unable to fully believe it. In connection with her previous suspicion about her and Pei Yuanxiu’s life experience, I tend to believe that this gold medal was given to her by Queen Yin.

If, she and Pei Yuanxiu have really been exchanged.

So, many things are easy to explain, even the piece of cloth wrapped in the gold medal for exemption from crime. Pei Yuanxiu would not have this thing. The fabric should be from Empress Yin.

In other words, the child around Liu Shizhou had some problems, and to a large extent, the problem came from Empress Yin!

But who has the problem?

Liu Qinghan? Or Wei Ningyuan?

The Liu family’s father and son have passed away, and Liu Li is left, and he has a vague memory of what happened back then. If he asks her, he is afraid he won’t be able to ask anything.

It seems that this matter has to be discussed for a long time, but fortunately, there is no hurry to do so.

I thought, slowly folded the piece of fabric along the previous mark and received it in one of my own boxes. When I looked back, Miaoyan was still holding the gold medal and stroking the pattern of the dragon cloud behind the gold medal, and exclaimed: "This is so well carved, just like the real one."

I smiled and said, "Take it and take a look."

Miaoyan hurriedly came to me, pointed to the five-clawed golden dragon on it and said, "Mom, look, this one looks like it is, and that eye is just looking at me."

"Um."

"And this cloud, it's so well-carved. I think the clouds seem to be moving."

"Yes, lifelike," I said with a smile, looking into her eyes and said softly: "Actually, there is still a jade plaque here, which is better than this gold medal."

"Really? Where?"

When Miaoyan heard this, she looked at me curiously, but I smiled and said, "But this thing is very expensive and must be kept confidential. Unless you leave the capital, you cannot easily take it out for others to see."

"Leave the capital?"

Even though this child is innocent and intelligent, he immediately heard the clues from my words and looked at me: "Do you want to leave the capital?"

"Yes. Mom plans to go back to Xichuan and do something."

“…Xichuan?”

She murmured these two words, and the originally bright sunshine on her little face seemed to be covered by the clouds on the gold medal, revealing a little haze. I asked, "Would Miaoyan be willing to go to Xichuan with her mother?"

Miaoyan was silent for a while, raised her head and looked at me: "What are you going to do when I return to Xichuan?"

I said, "Mom wants to go back to the Yan family to meet your uncle and grandmother. We have to deal with some things."

Miaoyan blinked: "Did you just see them?"

“…”

I was stunned for a moment.

Of course, it wasn't just going back to the Yan family, but I saw them. Although I didn't think too much about it, and when I talked to Pei Yuanhao, I just thought that the hurdle that he felt most sad was naturally that I wanted to meet Liu Qinghan.

How will we get along with each other? What will we talk about?

Liu Qinghan, who no longer serves in the court and has even become a powerful man, will he have the attitude when he meets me again? What will he look like?

When I thought to myself, I hesitated for a while; and after hesitation for a long time, Miaoyan seemed to have figured out something immediately. She opened her eyes wide and looked at me with a dark aura: "Mom, I'm going to see Uncle San, right?"

“…”

My throat became hoarse: "Miaoyan..."

This is a taboo between us mother and daughter. Although she should have accepted that her infatuation will end in vain, and I have long received the answer given by Liu Qinghan herself, it was still somewhat difficult for us to calm down when we talked about him.

I thought about it and said softly: "Miaoyan, if you-"

Miaoyan suddenly spoke and said simply: "I don't want to go."

“…”

I was slightly shocked and looked down at her. After Miaoyan said that, she lowered her head again, her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and she repeated: "I don't want to go."

I was silent for a while and said softly: "Don't you still want to see your third uncle?"

“…”

"Or, are you still being angry with your mother?"

“…”

"You hate us? Don't forgive us?"

She lowered her head, and I said, she shook her head. In the end, I saw something in her big watery eyes that seemed to be overflowing, and I didn't ask any more. Instead, she herself made her nose red and was silent for a while before she said softly: "I don't want to see my third uncle, nor am I angry with my mother. I just-I just, I don't know how to see him."

“…”

"I don't know how to meet you two."

“…”

"I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me, but I still feel uncomfortable."

As she said that, her little mouth also sagged, as if she was crying at any time. I sat aside, looking at her full of grievances and desperately suppressing myself, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

I think she will finally let go.

No matter which girl, the girl's feelings are always spring, and there will definitely be someone who will make her heart beat. Although this person may not accompany her to the end, may not know her, or may not even be a suitable person, for the girl herself, this is a life experience. Only after experiencing this can she know better how to love and be loved.

She would let go, but she was still too young now, and the feeling of being hurt by girls' shyness and even the feeling of being hurt by self-esteem still made her unable to face it.

Looking back on the expression when Pei Yuanhao asked me to ask her, I also understood.

Miaoyan didn't know that Liu Qinghan had gone to Xichuan before, but now she could confirm that Liu Qinghan was in Xichuan as soon as she opened her mouth. It seems that during the period when Pei Yuanhao reconciled with her, some things should have been explained very clearly.

Then, her current decision was not made impulse.

I looked at her for a while and said softly: "Okay, mom understands."

When I said this, Miaoyan looked at me nervously: "Mom, you won't be angry with me just because I don't go with you, right?"

Seeing her like this, I laughed and said, "Of course not. I can understand your current mood. In fact, it's better if you don't go."

"Why?"

"Because, I have a lot of things to do when I go back to Xichuan this time, and I'm very busy, and I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of you."

But, there is a deeper reason.

Pei Yuanhao and Pei Ji have almost confirmed one thing - it's going to fight.

We traveled westward and crossed the sphere of influence of the Lin family in Yunzhong, Yuan family in Runan, and even the Marquis of Jin Gongsun Shu. If they really intercepted them halfway, the danger would be great.

Therefore, if Miaoyan doesn’t follow me, it will be safer in the imperial city.

I didn't tell her this, so as not to scare her, and the news spread for a while later.

Chang Qing and Prince Nianshen both knew that I was leaving the capital.

There has never been peace in the palace these days. After the rebels' battle, there have been more things happening in the palace. Some damaged palaces need to be repaired, frightened concubines need to be comforted, and the innocent murdered palace maids and eunuchs need to be paid to their families. Chang Qing was so busy that she was losing weight. When I went to Jingren Palace to see her that day, I saw Kouer holding her down and bent down and sitting back on the couch.

I stepped forward to pay my respects, looked at her unhealthy face, and said softly: "The Queen should take care of herself."

She smiled bitterly: "We also need to have the opportunity to take care of ourselves. Now, what is the lack of people in and outside the palace?"

"Can't the prince share the worries of the empress?"

"The prince can share his worries, but not for the palace," she said, taking the tea that Kouer gave her, took a sip, and then said, "Last time, when the emperor was in a coma, we proposed the matter of the prince's reign. Although the emperor is awake now, he is still doing things. Every day, he calls Nian Shen to the imperial study room and learn to do things. This child is willing to learn, and now he is much more stable than before."

"That's fine."

"yes."

...

We talked for a while and Kouer and the others were familiar with each other and sent some iced sour plum soup. It was already May and the weather was getting hot, so drinking a little something like this made me feel very comfortable.

I was drinking when I heard Chang Qing snatch the soup with a spoon while gently saying, "By the way, when will you leave?"

"I probably decided before, it's the end of this month."

"oh……"

"Empress, do you have anything to explain?"
