"Some time ago, I had a dream."
Yun Chu spoke slowly.
"It was probably more than ten years later in the dream. My father led the Yun family army to defeat Western Xinjiang. The vast Western Xinjiang was included in the territory. The Yun family had made such a great contribution and the whole country was celebrating... At that time, Suddenly someone reported that the Yun family was planning to rebel, and they also found letters indicating that the Yun family was colluding with foreign countries. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation. The result of the thorough investigation was that the Yun family was colluding with foreign countries in an attempt to help the eighth prince to ascend the throne. There were witnesses and physical evidence. Everything was complete, causing shock to the government and the public, more than a hundred members of the Yun family were all thrown into prison, and their homes were ransacked!"
"My grandfather used this knife to cut his own neck in order to prove the Yun family's innocence!"
Yun Chu looked at the big knife placed on the table. This knife that cut off the heads of countless enemies was the work of his grandfather, but in the end...
She continued, "Dad made such great contributions and should have been rewarded when he returned to Beijing. However, he was arrested and thrown into the dungeon as soon as he entered Beijing... The eldest brother was the first to go to jail and was tortured to death within a few days. Mother and The eldest sister-in-law was unable to survive in prison and died too...Brother Jiang and the rest of the Yun family went to the guillotine..."
She couldn't speak anymore and lowered her head to hide the pain in her eyes.
"What about you, what about you?" Yun Silin asked, "Chu'er, you are a married woman. Even if something happens to the Yun family, it won't be your fault, right?"
Yun Chu raised his head and said with a smile: "I am a married woman, but my surname is Yun. The Xie family was afraid of being implicated, so they forced me to drink poisonous wine."
Behind her, Yunze walked in, looking in disbelief: "So, Chu'er, is this the reason why you and Xie Jingyu are not getting along recently?"
No wonder no matter what happened to the Xie family recently, Chu'er didn't mention it when he returned to the Yun family. He thought it was Aunt He's fault.
However, when Ting Yu became an aunt a few years ago, Chu'er was not separated from the Xie family. So, in fact, was it this dream that created a gap between Chu'er and the Xie family?
"The fact that you have such a dream means that you are worried about something happening to the Yun family every day. This is not surprising, because the Yun family has indeed reached a high position and cannot tolerate any mistakes, but -" Yunze looked at her, "You Why did you dream that the Xie family gave you poisoned wine? You think about it every day and dream about it at night. Did the Xie family do anything excessive to you on weekdays, which makes you worry that they will kill you? "
"Brother, the point is not the Xie family, but our Yun family." Yun Chu said, "In more than ten years, the Yun family may be slaughtered. What can we do now to avoid such an ending?"
"Dreams are all opposite, Chu'er, don't scare yourself." Yun Silin patted her shoulder, "Tell dad what kind of grievance that fellow Xie Jingyu has done to you, and dad will teach him a lesson for you."
Yun Chu smiled bitterly.
Xie Jingyu's life was almost gone, so there was no need for her father to take action.
She can handle the entire Xie family on her own, but as a married woman, she cannot influence the direction of the Yun family, so she can only discuss it with her father and brother.
But it was obvious that the three people in front of her didn't believe her dream at all. Instead, they were more concerned about whether she had suffered at the Xie family's expense.
"My dream is not only about the Yun family, but also about things that will happen in the future." Yun Chu said, "I dreamed that the prince was seriously ill, and sure enough, the prince was ill. I dreamed that Xie Shi'an became the head of the case. This is also the case. I also I dreamed that my father would receive an imperial decree and take people to southern Xinjiang to execute the generals who guarded southern Xinjiang..."
General Yun's eyes widened in shock.
The prince was indeed ill a while ago, and he has not recovered yet. He has been lingering on his sick bed.
Xie Shi'an indeed became the leader of the court examination case, and the Xie family even hosted a banquet for guests.
Can I take the order to go to southern Xinjiang?
Execution of the cavalry general?
This is unlikely.
The Yun family has always guarded the Western Xinjiang. If they were sent to the Southern Xinjiang, the Western Xinjiang would be empty.
Another thing is that General Chaoqiu is the nephew of the Queen Mother. He is a general whom the Emperor values very much. How could he send someone to kill him?
"I know you don't believe what I say." Yun Chu said slowly, "Then just wait and see."
She had a serious look on her face, which made the men of the three generations of the Yun family also look solemn.
At this time, a voice came from the courtyard: "General Yun is here. The Minister of War has important matters to discuss with General Yun."
"What Chu'er said just now is rotten in his stomach." Old General Yun said, "We won't talk about this until the emperor gives the order. Let's be dismissed."
Yun Silin walked out and saw that it was Chu Yi, the king of Pingxi. He smiled and punched Chu Yi: "I heard that you have driven out all the bandits within a hundred miles of the capital. You are so powerful."
"No matter how powerful he is, he is not as powerful as General Yun. The words "General Zhuguo" have frightened the surrounding small countries and shaken the prestige of our country." Chu Yi received the punch, "The Minister of War is a little worried, General Yun, go quickly."
Yun Silin nodded and walked quickly towards the front yard.
Yun Chu walked out of the old general's yard and saw Chu Yi who had not had time to leave.
He probably came directly to the Yun family after coming out of the palace. He was dressed in official uniform and looked imposing, with a cold feeling from head to toe.
However, when he turned his head, Yun Chu was surprised to find that the coldness in his eyes slowly faded away.
"Thank you, Madam."
Chu Yi shouted.
Although he rejected these three words in his heart, he could only call her this way.
"I've met the prince." Yun Chu said happily, "Does the prince have something to do?"
Chu Yi came here with the servants of the Yun Mansion to help the Minister of War find someone. The next thing he did was to go back to the banquet and continue drinking.
He said: "Nothing."
"I have something I want to discuss with the prince." Yun Chu said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, please come this way."
She took Chu Yi to a pavilion in Yun Mansion. A guard beside Chu Yi and her two girls were standing beside the pavilion.
Not far away is the main road in the mansion, with many servants busy going back and forth. The two of them talking here are not unreasonable.
Chu Yi and her sat opposite each other. As he breathed, he smelled the familiar aroma again and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of incense is Mrs. Xie using?"
When he asked this question, he suddenly felt abrupt.
It's somewhat offensive to ask such a private question to a married woman.
For the first time, he was glad that he was quick-thinking and immediately added, "Chang Sheng likes you, and I think she will also like the incense you use."
"I use the jasmine incense made by my mother." Yun Chu said, "Next time I will have someone bring some to give to Chang Sheng."
Chu Yi frowned slightly.
Does it smell like jasmine?
It's a little bit, but more of the familiar, I don't know what kind of aroma it is, very light.
When you are close to her, you can smell it clearly.
He must have smelled something like this before.
When?
Can not remember.
"Your Majesty." Yunchu interrupted his thoughts, "I want to discuss a business with you. I wonder if you are interested."
Chu Yi has no interest in talking about business.
But for some reason, he wanted to hear her talk.
He nodded: "Tell me about it."
Yun Chu said in an orderly manner: "I bought a village in the suburbs of Beijing and accidentally discovered a hot spring. It is larger than the royal hot spring pool. I would rather hand it over to the royal family. I would not be willing to do it. But if I stay here by myself, there are many hidden dangers, so I thought How about letting the prince bear the risks and share the profits together?"
Chu Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
