When Yu'er heard what he said, she was also confused: "Ah? What words?"

"That's it-"

"Sir!" I lay on the bed and couldn't listen anymore. I was so anxious that my face changed and I interrupted him. Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head and glanced at me. Through the white gauze, he clearly couldn't see my embarrassed expression.

But for some reason, looking at the smile on his slightly raised lips, it seemed like he understood everything.

He asked me with a smile: "What's the matter?"

I coughed lightly and said, "You must be tired too. You should have a good rest."

"Oh..."

"Me, Yu'er and I meet again after a long separation..."

"I know, you must have a lot of private things to say, right?"

I nodded hurriedly, but when I saw his eyes curling up with laughter, when I thought about the meaning of that "private talk", I almost got excited. Yu'er stood nearby and didn't dare to say anything. Yao Lao was still coughing.

He made a sound, shook his head and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Pei Yuanxiu smiled at me again, turned around and walked out.

The door was ajar. Although there were still attendants guarding outside, the room calmed down. I breathed a sigh of relief and raised my head to let Yu'er sit down, but I saw her looking thoughtful.

Look at the door.

I said softly: "Yu'er, what are you thinking about?"

She turned back to look at me, then looked at the door, then sat on the edge of the bed and whispered: "How come you are with Tai - with him? He wasn't -"

Of course I knew what she was going to ask. After the battle to seize the throne, the world changed hands and Pei Yuanxiu disappeared for three years. Even though the war in Dongzhou was raging, I don’t think many people knew who stood behind the flames of war.

It's him, and until now, he has become the overlord of Jiangnan. The earth-shaking changes during this period are beyond Yu'er's imagination.

I can only tell her in one sentence: "It's hard to say enough."

She listened, a little confused, but also said: "Yes."

After saying that, he looked at me hurriedly and said, "What about you? What's going on with you? Back then, I was waiting for you to come out at the palace gate, and I actually saw three - I saw the emperor taking you back, what are you doing?

What happened? Have you been in the palace all these years?"

Her barrage of questions was actually just unintentional concern, but speaking of it, every sentence poked at my old wounds.

However, today, I seem to be able to face those memories with a little calmness. I lowered my head and thought about it, and still answered her: "It's hard to explain in words."

"Ah..."

Seeing that she seemed dissatisfied with my "perfunctory" approach, I said softly: "I stayed in the palace in the past few years, um - I was a talented person."

"Ah?"

"But it was abolished."

"Ah?"

"I gave birth to a daughter for the emperor."

"Ah?"

"My daughter is now at Mr. Pei's place."

"Ah?"

Every time I said something, Yu'er said "ah" every time, and her eyes opened wider every time. Speaking of which, she is also a person in her twenties and almost thirty years old. Her original personality has not changed at all, she still looks like

Like a child. I held back my laughter and stretched out my fingers to pinch her open lips together: "Ah what."

She closed her mouth, but still looked at me with a complicated and tangled expression. After a long while, she reluctantly laughed twice: "Qingying, how have you been living these years?"

I smiled.

She shook her head, as if unable to recover: "No wonder I saw your portrait posted by the government and it scared me."

I smiled and said: "What about you? How have you lived these years?"

Yu'er said: "I have been waiting for you to leave the palace, but when I saw you were captured and waited outside for two more days, no one told me when I asked for news. I had no choice but to leave the capital and later came to Jinling.

, working as a girl in a big family."

She has no father or mother, and has no other place to go after leaving the palace. We had agreed to leave the palace together, but I was forced to stay, and she had to go out alone.

"I did a good job, and in the end, all the more than 20 girls in that family all listened to me."

Seeing her proud look, I laughed and asked: "Then why did you come to Yangzhou?"

When she heard this, her face darkened: "The master of that family... always touched me. When my wife got sick two years ago, he became even more unscrupulous and even asked me to be his concubine. I won't do it.

I took the opportunity to escape."

She said, still a little angry: "I am already in my fifties, but I am still so lustful. You said that I am not young anymore, and no one would want me to be with a boy. Hmm, I don't believe it."<

/p>

Looking at her stubborn look, I thought she had suffered a lot in the past two years, but I didn't expect that she was still like this, refusing to admit defeat. I remember that the day before she was about to leave the palace, she once said to me,

She wanted to marry a businessman, have a big house, a garden, and raise puppies. Speaking of which, maybe these lives were just a stone's throw away from her, but she decided to give up.

Because, among all this, that person was the only one she didn't want.

Speaking of which, when a woman marries, she just marries that "person". I have never heard of marrying with a house, marrying with a house, or marrying with a wealth of wealth.

I just feel admired.

Hearing me mention these words with a smile, she blushed a little, and carefully pinched the back of my hand: "What about you? I said you were not happy before, but you are not happy now-"

I smiled: "I married a fisherman."

"——Ah?!"

This sound was louder than the previous ones. Yu'er was so shocked that her eyes widened and she looked at me blankly: "Fisherman? Then he - he -"

As she spoke, she looked outside the door. There were attendants waiting outside the door, but there was no sound. I said in a calm tone: "It's not him. I got married outside the palace a few years ago."
p>

"So, where is your husband?"

There was a crack in the calm expression on my face.

The bitterness that had been suppressed in my chest suddenly surged up at this moment, making my eyes turn red. I choked for a while, smiled bitterly and shook my head gently: "He is not with me."

This time, Yu'er seemed to have heard a fantasy, and said in disbelief: "You actually married a fisherman."

Yes, when I was joking with her on the eve of leaving the palace, I once joked that I would marry a fisherman in the future because I like to eat fish.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy!

Yu'er and I used to have a very good relationship in the palace. This time we reunited after a long separation. Although we have been through a lot, our relationship has not changed.

However, there are still some changes.

We talked for a long time, and I could tell that she was very happy to see me again and cared about me. She asked me many things, but every time I asked her how she was doing now, she faltered.

After two times, I noticed the evasive look in her eyes.

If it were someone else, I might be wary, but Yu'er - I don't want to be wary of a sister I've known for many years. Besides, her concern for me is not fake, it's just lame dodge and perfunctory, not like what she used to be.

Will do it.

When it was time to eat, she smiled and patted my hand: "I'm leaving."

I was stunned: "You want to leave?"

"Of course, I came here just to take a look. I feel relieved knowing that you are fine."

I said softly: "Yu'er, are you really..."

She smiled at me again, and that smile was still perfunctory.

I thought about it and then said: "That's okay. Now that I have just detoxified, I can't have a good time with you. In the future, we two sisters can have a long talk."

After hearing this, she immediately said: "Are you still here?"

I looked up at her and saw that she was a little evasive: "Well, it's not easy to come here."

I smiled at her.

Yu'er stayed for a while, then went out to say goodbye. I heard an attendant going to see her off, and after a while, Pei Yuanxiu pushed the door open and came in.

Because his face was covered with a layer of white gauze, his expression was a little blurry when I saw him from a distance. But also because of this layer of gauze, I had a vague feeling that he seemed to be smiling all the time, and his smile was gentler than any kind of dream.

He walked to the bed, lowered his head and said, "Are you tired after talking for so long?"

I nodded.

"Then do you want to rest."

I shook my head: "Ping'er, is he feeling better?"

In the past two days, I have only been focusing on detoxification, and I have been unable to take care of this child. After such a big change, where will he go in the future? I have been wandering on the edge of life and death for the past two days, and I can't care about it. But now, I can't stop thinking about it.
