Before Yu Wenhan woke up, Yun Xi carefully instructed the maid how to take care of Yu Wenhan.
"You don't need to tell them, I can do it myself." Yang Qingyuan said, his brows furrowed, his eyes like fire, so calm that it made people feel a little shuddering.
"You, you have been busy for so long and you need to take a rest." Yun Xi tried her best to hold back her heartache and said in a low voice.
"No, I'm fine." Yang Qingyuan just looked down at Yu Wenhan, as if Yu Wenhan would disappear if he was not careful.
"Yun Xi, let's go back to the yurt first, and then come back after dawn to change shifts, and take turns guarding." Yun Chuan took Yun Xi's trembling hand hidden in his sleeve and said with concern.
"Yunchuan is right, you go back and rest first. Don't worry, I will arrange for manpower to guard you day and night. I have to go to the border town to arrange a meeting with Wang Yu, so I won't stay here for a long time." Shengze nodded and said.
————————————————————————————
It was already dawn, and the morning star in the distance had risen. After returning to the yurt, Yun Chuan saw no one around, so he leaned into the ear of Yun Xi who was making the bed and asked: "Is Yu Wenling sure of getting the century-old snow lotus?"
"It should be quite difficult." Yun Xi was like a straw at this moment, crushed to the last breath of her strength.
"What can we do? If she can't get it, Yu Wenhan's hand will be useless; if she gets it, Yang Qingyun will marry her." Yun Chuan had a strange idea in his heart about Yu Wenling , both hoping she can get the Centennial Snow Lotus but also not wanting her to get it.
"But there is no better way than this. As for marrying a wife, in fact, they are quite a match in terms of family background and appearance." After saying the last sentence, Yun Xi collapsed on the bed weakly. Yun Xi felt a deep sense of despair deep in her heart, as if she had returned to eight years ago overnight: It turned out that God was still unwilling to favor her and gave her a chance to meet again, but in less than three days, she was beaten into a trap. Another, more brutal abyss. I really hope it's just a dream. At this moment, Yun Xi understands what Yang Qingyuan said when waiting for the sunrise, "Perhaps the best thing is to see each other if we don't see each other."
Yun Xi closed her eyes, and a burst of darkness hit her. She didn't want to let herself fall into the abyss again, and kept warning herself in her heart: "Yun Xi, Yun Xi, Yang Qingyuan will get married sooner or later. No matter who his wife is, she can't be You!"
"Why don't I think they are a good match at all?" Yun Chuan muttered in a low voice, "Hey, but, how can a fish know the joy of a fish? How many people can only dream of marrying a princess and becoming their consort! Besides, Huang Bei is so flattering. In the Central Plains, there is no need to sacrifice relationships for the three-petal snow lotus."
When Yun Chuan woke up, it was almost noon.
There was a noise outside, "What's the noise outside? There seems to be Shengze's voice." Yun Chuan listened carefully.
"Let's go out and take a look. My cousin will probably wake up soon. I'll give him some herbs to relieve pain and remove blood clots." That night, chest tightness broke out, and Yun Xi couldn't calm down and fall asleep at all. This was also the root cause of my illness eight years ago. Once I had too many thoughts, I would feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and shortness of breath. It seemed like there was a big stone pressing on my chest, and my heart palpitations were unbearable. If he hadn't carried the "Ningshen Pill" prepared by his uncle with him, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Did you not sleep well, or did you not sleep at all? How many times did you take Ningshen Pills? Your eyes are red and swollen." Looking at Yun Xi's face, which was paler than snow, Yun Chuan was heartbroken. Knowing full well, he said with concern, "Yun Xi, you are always like this, hiding everything in your heart. Looking at Yun Danfengqing, you have actually been anxious for a long time. You can't be anxious about this matter, you have to worry about yourself Who will take care of your brother if he gets sick?"
"Yunchuan, you don't know something. The blood relationship among the royal family of the Wei Dynasty is very weak. Just look at the fate of my family." Yun Xi looked lonely, and her bright eyes revealed endless despair. She stroked Yunchuan. hair, and then said: "Although Huang Bei is attached to the Wei Dynasty, his strength should not be underestimated. He just wants to use the Wei Dynasty to contain the neighboring Xia Yi and confront Tusang. Therefore, he is still attached to the Wei Dynasty. Instead of committing themselves to perfection, the Wei Dynasty also knew the strength and status of the Huangbei tribe, and would never easily destroy the current sense of superiority. The century-old snow lotus is Huangbei's treasure handed down from generation to generation. It is said that the tribe leader can only kill the enemy on the battlefield with his life at stake. It was only allowed to be used at that time, and it was not allowed to be used without authorization even in life, old age, sickness and death. However, Shangdu Khan of Huangbei worshiped the century-old snow lotus as a god. He went into battle several times to kill the enemy and was seriously injured, but he did not use even a single petal of the snow lotus. I survived on my own, and thus gained the respect of the Huangbei people. Due to external reasons, it may be more difficult than imagined to obtain a century-old snow lotus."
"There is no absolute stalemate between these diplomatic relations. They are all exchanges of interests. One moment and another, there may be other breakthroughs. Wei is so big, it is okay to give away a few cities. The emperor of Wei Dynasty cannot care about flesh and blood, right? ." Yun Chuan held Yun Xi's hand and comforted her.
"Since ancient times, only princesses have married far away to protect their families and the country. How can anyone cede land to save the royal children? Although 'there is no royal land in the world', it belongs to the emperor, not the prince. Think about it, how many people come here? Assassins whose paths are unknown, Xia Yi can go to the Wei Dynasty to ask for annual coins; how could Huang Bei miss this opportunity for a three-petal hundred-year-old snow lotus? In this way, I am afraid that this flesh and blood relationship will be difficult for the emperor to appreciate at all." Yun Xi speculated and analyzed. , while shedding tears.
Yun Chuan hurriedly wiped Yun Xi's tears with his sleeves, and said angrily: "Hey, if I had known what happened, I shouldn't have had a bad relationship with Ming Cheng in the first place. Based on my past friendship with her, it would definitely not be a problem to steal a few snow lotus petals. ." Yun Chuan let out a long sigh, pretended to be calm and patted Yun Xi's shoulder to comfort him: "Yun Xi, don't worry. I think Yu Wenling is very obsessed with Yang Qingyu, and she will definitely not let this guy go. It's a chance. Besides, it's me and Shengze. After all, we have been friends with Mingcheng for more than ten years. We haven't reached the point where we are no longer in contact with each other, so there is always a way."
"Well, thank you Yun Chuan." Yun Xi understood that Yun Chuan was trying to comfort her, and did not want to let down her good intentions. She also secretly prayed to God in her heart to have mercy on Yu Wenhan, and that the wind would be like a solution, and he would not be destroyed easily.
Yunchuan and Yunxi packed up and took out the women's clothes they asked Shengze to change into before going to bed. The two of them were dressed in red and green, one in white and the other in plain. They had a long braid on each side and a pointed-brimmed hat decorated with beaded curtains. Just such a simple and ordinary dress, one bright and dazzling, the other clear water hibiscus.
"I am still comfortable in women's clothing. In order to pretend to be a man, I stiffened my body and raised my voice. I didn't dare to change my posture for a moment. Who knew that they had exposed me a long time ago. Thinking of this, I feel that these two are really boring!" Yunchuan! He adjusted his hat in front of the bronze mirror, his eyesight was clear and his expression was high.
"They should..." Yun Xi explained to them habitually.
"They probably didn't mean it, they probably had their own reasons!" Yun Chuan interrupted Yun Xi and imitated Yun Xi's tone and said, "Yun Xi, you can't let me complain! One of them wants to How could I really care about saving me while I'm still lying there?"
"Okay, you can just complain to me, I'm happy to listen." A rare smile appeared on Yun Xi's face.
When the two of them walked out, Shengze was not far away giving instructions to the guards. When Shengze saw the two of them, he quickly greeted them and ran over quickly.
"The women's clothing still looks good, just like walking down the snow-capped mountains. As soon as you two came out, I think even the birds were too embarrassed to fly over." Shengze looked at it and praised it.
"Stop making fun of us. Didn't you say that I am the least daughter-like person?" Yunchuan immediately retorted.
"You, it's okay to stand quietly, but when you talk, you act like a man! Oh, what a pity." Shengze looked at Yun Chuan and sighed with regret.
Yun Chuan was about to retort when he was stopped by Yun Xi: "You two start fighting each other as soon as you meet. You are really a pair of happy enemies. Young prince, what you just said outside is related to Xuelian?"
"I just heard the noise, what happened?" Yun Chuan also asked quickly.
"Were you woken up? These brats, I asked them to keep their voices down, but they were still shouting at the top of their lungs." After Shengze finished scolding, he said, "These three people have seen a lot of fun, how can you tell me? Don’t be surprised, these assassins may have been brought here by their sister.”
"What?" Yun Chuan and Yun Xi asked in unison. Yun Xi looked at Sheng Ze in surprise. How could Yu Wenling bring assassins to the desert to assassinate Yu Wenhan: "How is it possible?"
"The person has been handed over to Yang Qingyuan, but the assassin has nothing to do with us, and I don't want to get involved in their affairs." Shengze pointed in the direction of Yang Qingyuan, which was where Yu Wenhan was recuperating.
"Let's go and have a look." After hearing this, Yun Xi ran towards the direction pointed by Sheng Ze. Although Yu Wenling was domineering and unruly, he had never had any harmful intentions. She did not believe that Yu Wenling would commit such fratricide. Things. With Yang Qingyuan's temperament and friendship with Yu Wenhan, it's not clear how he will handle this matter.
"Oh, little prince, what a nonsense statement you made!" Yun Chuan glared at Shengze, ran to stop Yun Xi, and said, "Yun Xi, let's understand the situation with the little prince first before doing anything. Plan."
"Don't get involved in this matter. No matter what kind of siblings they are, they are a bad debt in their own family. Do you understand that you should get involved and sort it out?" Shengze looked at Yun Chuan unhappily, knowing that Yun Chuan was a nosy person. She is a person, but she used to know how to advance and retreat, but now she has messed up the boundaries.
"Is it okay if I don't care? That person was injured because of me. I can't let me live my whole life owing this love." Yunchuan said helplessly.
Shengze shook his head and sighed: "The guards I sent to patrol came back last night to report that someone deliberately left route marks along the road, and there were signs of stationing nearby. The rags left behind were similar to those of the men in black, and they were used to watch the fire. There should be other members of Dui Yuwen lurking around."
"There are marks along the road? Could it be that she was just trying to leave marks along the way? This girl seems to have a simple mind, but she hides it so deeply." Yun Chuan suddenly realized.
"Is there such a thing? It seems that she has not been wronged! At that time, I just guessed that there must be spies among them and the men in black. In order to find out the truth and draw out the remaining gang members, on the way to the border town this morning, I asked someone to deliberately Spy Zhang Yang has been caught and will be sent to our Black Mountain to mine as a slave." Sheng Ze said smoothly.
"Then someone really came to hijack the carriage, right?" Yunchuan asked.
"Well, just after walking ten miles, two more men in black appeared. When they saw Sister Ling, they pulled her and ran away." Shengze continued, "Of course, in the end, these two people were also captured by us. It's a pity that they both He's mute, so he won't say anything, he can only pack it up and give it to Yang Qingyuan to handle on his own."
"This sister Ling really has two faces!" Yun Chuan looked at Shengze and asked, "Then what should we do next?"
"Hey, if you want to watch the fun, go quickly. I won't be too lazy to join in. I have to go back and catch up on my sleep. I have wasted so much good time this whole day!" After saying this, Shengze turned around and left, staying up all day and night. After identifying the assassin and eliminating the remnants, he also knew that there was no threat to Yun Chuan and Xia Yi, so he could rest peacefully.
Yun Chuan and Yun Xi ran to the entrance of the yurt and heard Yu Wenling praying inside: "Brother Qingyun, believe me. The assassin really has nothing to do with me. It was the queen mother and the emperor who sent them to protect me all the way. I know you I won’t let them follow me, so I have to leave marks along the way so that they can only follow me from a distance.”
"Then why do they want to assassinate us?" Yang Qingyuan asked coldly.
"Maybe, maybe they have evil intentions, yes, they definitely want to steal money and then divide the spoils and run away." Yu Wenling was already sobbing, and his words were choked.
"We are alone, how much money can we have? Forget it, I already know, you go back to Dawei." The atmosphere inside was getting colder and colder, and Yang Qingyuan no longer wanted to hear any more explanations.
"Brother Qingyun, you still don't believe me, do you? You know my feelings for you, even if it costs my life, I will not hurt you. My mother and the eldest brother have always appreciated you, They know my feelings for you and will never harm you. All this has nothing to do with them." Yu Wenling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Three hours ago, she never dreamed of Yang Qingyuan. He could agree to marry him, but now he has become a "spy" again, and he is a "spy" who wants to kill them.
"You don't need to say anything anymore. I don't intend to pursue this matter anymore. Just think they are seeking money. Get out of here quickly." Yang Qingyuan remained unmoved.
"I know, you just want me to go back and get the century-old snow lotus. You don't believe me at all. You are doing it all for him. You will give up anything for him, right? I won't leave, and neither will Xuelian. Go and ask for it, what will you do?" Yu Wenling was at his wits' end, thinking that Yang Qingyuan was worried about his grudge, so he had no choice but to resort to cheating.
"I really don't believe that you can get the century-old snow lotus at this moment." Yu Wenling, who was beside him, was completely silent after hearing this. He could only stare at a pair of innocent eyes and look at the man in front of him with all his heart and soul. He poured a trace of tenderness and trust into himself, but no matter how pitiful his eyes were, Yang Qingyuan still said coldly: "Xuelian doesn't need you to worry about it anymore. Your second brother needs to rest. If you continue to act like this, I don't want to see you again in the future. .”
