The night is dark and windy.
The autumn night wind blows the leaves and makes a rustling sound.
Yunchu was leaning on the bedside wearing a thin shirt, reading a book on the geography of Jin Dynasty.
She has lived two lifetimes, and she can count the places she has been to on one hand. She once went to her hometown in Jizhou with Xie Jingyu to worship her ancestors, and accompanied her mother to Yong'an City to visit her grandfather and grandmother. Apart from these two cities, she has never visited them again. I have never been to any other places... As for the cities where I went to seek medical treatment for Xie Shikang, I only visited briefly, not really visited.
What a waste of time.
In the geographical annals, there are many colorful scenery of the east, west, south, and west of the Jin Dynasty, as well as unique delicacies from various places. Just reading the words is fascinating.
One day, I really want to take my two children and travel all over the country. If I am more bold, I also want to take my children on a big boat and travel across thousands of mountains and rivers...
"Miss." Tingxue knocked on the door and whispered outside, "King Pingxi is here. He said he has something important to see the lady. Do you want to see him?"
Yun Chu was not surprised at all.
After what she said during the day, Chu Yi would definitely interrogate Marquis Xuanwu.
When he knew what happened that night, he would naturally come to find her.
She put on a cloak over her thin shirt, then walked out of the inner room, passed through the hanging flower door, and walked to the outer courtyard.
She glanced at Chu Yi standing at the door of the side hall.
Chu Yi also saw her at a glance.
He took a step towards her, and as he got closer, he smelled her fragrance.
The familiar aroma overlapped with that night.
In fact, he had smelled this scent a long time ago. Why, why didn't he have even the slightest suspicion?
Fortunately, it's not too late.
"I..." Chu Yi's throat rolled. He swallowed a mouthful of air to suppress the surging emotions, "I just interrogated Qin Mingheng."
Yun Chu stood in front of him and raised his head slightly to look at him: "Has the result of the interrogation come out?"
"Miss Yun, it was me...it was me who ruined you."
There was endless regret and self-blame in Chu Yi's dark eyes.
His fingers were clenched into a fist, the muscles on the back of his hand were clear and the veins were trembling, and he could not control his emotions.
"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault..."
"If I had known earlier, I would have taken responsibility for that night and would not have let you suffer in the Xie family for five years."
He finally knew why she hated the Xie family so much.
On the wedding night, Xie Jingyu sent his newlywed wife to Xuanwu Hou Mansion.
The pair of children she gave birth to were thrown into the Xuanwu Hou Mansion by Xie Jingyu.
If Qin Mingheng hadn't had the last bit of conscience to send the child to his father, Brother Yu and Chang Sheng would have long...
It was too cheap for Xie Jingyu to die like this. He wished he could crush this person to ashes.
"I take responsibility for that night."
Chu Yi looked at her with burning eyes.
Yunchu was mentally prepared for this meeting. Her expression was as calm as water, without any fluctuation.
Her voice was also very calm: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. You and I are both victims. No one is sorry for anyone. The most innocent ones are the two children. They suffered so much pain that they shouldn't have to endure without knowing anything... In the past The incident has passed, and as parents, we should think more about our children."
Chu Yi stopped saying irresponsible words.
The woman in front of me hated the Xie family, so she let the Xie family fail.
She hated Qin Mingheng because the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion was gone.
She should also hate him for taking away her innocence and ruining her life.
But because he was the biological father of the children, she suppressed her hatred.
This does not mean that she is willing to marry him.
Chu Yi pursed her thin lips: "Miss Yun, I respect all your opinions on the matter of children."
Yunchu said word for word: "The identity of the children must not be revealed. If someone with intentional intentions makes a big fuss about it, the children will be stained throughout their lives."
At that time, she was the wife of the Xie family, but she gave birth to royal blood.
No matter how innocent she is in this matter, she can't stop so many mouths in the court.
It doesn't matter that she is being talked about, but she is afraid that her two children will be harassed by their origins for the rest of their lives.
"The prince has raised the child for more than four years, and I have owed the child for more than four years. I want to try my best to make up for the loss of these years." Yun Chu's voice became softer, "Chang Sheng is weaker and needs more attention. The prince has many things to do every day. , is it okay to let her live with me temporarily?”
Chu Yi nodded immediately: "Okay, I will send Chang Sheng over tomorrow morning."
Yun Chu smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The dim light shone on her face, and with this smile, the light and dark light and shadow passed over her face, which was a smile that was as beautiful as the stars, and it was as beautiful as ever.
The sweet-scented osmanthus on the tree was blown by the wind, flying on her head, and the stars were dotted, adding to the color.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand.
When his fingertips were still a short distance away from Yun Chu, Yun Chu avoided it slightly.
He turned his fingers and picked up a small sweet-scented osmanthus flower from her hair. His voice was slightly hoarse and he said, "Both Chang Sheng and Brother Yu love to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Yun Chu smiled even more: "I don't know how to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake. It's really good."
She knew nothing about cooking. She knew how to cook because her grandfather loved to eat. When her grandmother was still alive, she would make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for her grandfather every late autumn.
I haven’t done it in a while, and I don’t know if I will do it again.
I'll make it with my kids tomorrow and let the cook give me some guidance. The taste shouldn't be too bad.
Chu Yi doesn't like sweets.
There was no way something as soft and glutinous as sweet-scented osmanthus cake would appear in front of him.
But this moment.
There are osmanthus branches before my eyes, and the fragrance of osmanthus is on the tip of my nose. The strong fragrance has no place to stick to, and gradually the fragrance becomes cold and dewed by the wind.
He also wanted to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
When the clock rang, Chu Yi took his leave from Yun Chu.
When he returned to the palace, he couldn't help but take a look at the two children. A son and a daughter lived in two separate courtyards, but they always liked to sleep together.
The two of them hugged each other before going to bed, and when they fell asleep, they each had their own positions.
Chang Sheng held a doll in his hand and slept soundly.
Brother Yu was sleeping on the couch with his back stretched out, his belly exposed, rising and falling with his breathing.
Chu Yi covered his children with quilts and looked at their faces carefully.
Chang Sheng and Yun Chu were almost carved out of the same mold. Their eyes, nose, and mouth were not unlike each other.
Brother Yu's face shape and outline are exactly the same as Yun Chu's.
I should have noticed it earlier.
So many years were wasted.
"Your Majesty."
The program called softly at the door.
Chu Yi tucked the child in, then got up and went out: "Did someone bring it back?"
The program nodded: "Should I bring it here now, or wait until tomorrow?"
Chu Yi directly asked him to take the people to the side courtyard.
A woman in coarse cloth was tied up, gagged, and thrown to the ground.
"Woooooooo..."
The woman struggled hard, but it was all in vain.
The program stepped forward and pulled out the piece of cloth from her mouth.
"Who are you and why are you arresting me..." The woman looked panicked, "I'm going to sue the officials. I'm going to sue you for raping civilian girls!"
