02. Taifu Jaffe

Taifu Xie Fei

recalled that after Princess Chang was reborn, she was engaged in business

again. Sheng Yunlin was awakened by a basin of water. What came into view

was a man with a mean monkey face, who was swearing, “Don’t play dead!”! If you don’t go out busking, I’ll sell you into the pen! Sheng Yunlin’s ability to deal with crises in his bones, which he had developed over the past

20 years, made him have no time to think about what had happened, but immediately began to try to solve the current predicament.

She sat up all at once and began to look around. Except for a bed and a straw bed, the shabby thatched house could be called “bare walls.”. And she slept on a straw bed. When

the monkey-faced man saw her getting up, he immediately said, “Why don’t you hurry up?”

Sheng Yunlin just thought for a moment and realized that he couldn’t run away now, so he might as well keep up with it.

In a few words, Sheng Yunlin made clear the situation.

The monkey-faced man’s name is Ah Jin. I don’t know where he bought her.

Now, her name is Erya. It was no longer Princess Chen Chaochang, who ruled from behind a screen, but a little girl of 14 or 15 years old, whose parents died, who drifted here and followed Ah Jin to perform.

Two people walk all the way to the downtown area, a Jin takes the lead in performing, Sheng Yunlin is responsible for beating gongs and drums for him, attracting pedestrians. The content of the performance is also very conventional, that is, some tricks such as breaking big stones in the chest and swallowing swords, but the spectators still buy it, clapping their hands sparsely, and Sheng Yunlin takes a broken bowl to ask for money.

She listened for the accents of the people around her.

“It’s the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area.” She judged in her mind. Lord Guo, Minister of

War, was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. His accent was similar to that of these people. Sheng Yunlin was very familiar with him.

Sheng Yunlin didn’t know why he was here. She should have been burned to death in the fire of Weiyang Palace, but she woke up and turned into a little girl who had never met before. What night is

it today? She doesn’t know anything about it.

Only in the process of paying, the corner of the eye suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure-tall, cold and beautiful, eyes as deep as a pool of water.

It’s Jaffe.

Rao is the face of more than 10 years, still good-looking people can not move their eyes, Sheng Yunlin also immediately want to slip away. But she suddenly realized that her whole appearance and body shape had changed, so she didn’t have to run away, so she continued to ask for money and pretend that nothing had happened.

Jaffe also put a few coppers in the broken bowl, and his eyes were still flat.

Sheng Yunlin couldn’t help thinking, “Jaffe, how can you look at a busker in Jianghu with a bitter and bitter expression?”? Is it hard to smile?

The two of them passed by, but unexpectedly, the next man not only refused to give money, but also launched an attack, shouting to Ah Chin, “What’s the point of your performance?”! Let this little girl break a big stone in her chest, then you’ll have something to watch!

Sheng Yun-lin’s heart missed a beat.

Fortunately, Ah Chin was not too heartless. “I’m just kidding,” he replied. “How can a little girl stand this?”

The onlooker, however, seemed to be in high spirits. “Let her have a try,” he said, squinting his eyes. “If she can’t smash it to pieces, I’ll give you one hanging. If she succeeds, I’ll give you three hanging!”.

“Really?!” Chin was immediately happy.

All right, take it back. This man is really heartless. Sheng Yunlin thought. Seeing that

Ah Chin was really going to press himself to lie down on the bench, Sheng Yunlin immediately said, “I don’t know this, but I know how to perform the sword!”! You can also perform a sword dance, right?

She saw Jaffe frowning in the crowd. For some reason, she looked away rather flustered.

The spectator bought it and said that the sword dance was OK. Jin looked at her suspiciously and said he didn’t know about it. Ignoring him, Sheng Yunlin picked up his sword and walked to the center.

The sword waved nimbly in her hand, like a dragon. This is the style of learning sword dance when I was young. I haven’t practiced it for many years, and many of the movements are made up now. Fortunately, the spectators are not very good at sword dance, so it’s over to fool around. At the end of the dance, there was a burst of applause around, and the bowl was filled with coppers thrown in by people.

Chin’s eyes widened in surprise and anger. “Why didn’t you say you knew this before?!”

Sheng Yunlin didn’t think about how to explain it, but Ah Jin’s anger was obviously greater than joy of making money, and he might be beaten later.

What to do? Run?

At that moment, Jaffe stepped out of the crowd.

He took a whole ingot of silver and put it in a broken bowl. His dark eyes looked at Sheng Yunlin and then turned to Ah Chin. “I’ll buy this girl.”

「…… What? Sheng Yunlin and Ah Jin were stunned at the same time.

The latter immediately snatched the silver from the bowl and held it in his arms. “That’s what you said!”! You must not go back on your word! I’m afraid

this ingot of silver is enough to buy ten girls like Erya.

Sheng Yunlin is still blindfolded.

…… What’s going on? She was bought back by Jaffe? At

the age of seventeen, he won the first prize in both civil and military affairs, and became the official of Prince Taifu. He had been sent to the enemy in exchange for ten years of peaceful coexistence, but he had a bad relationship with himself, Jaffe?! The failure

of Jaffe and Sheng Yunlin can be traced back to many years ago. According to the rules of this

Dynasty, the emperor’s son-in-law was not allowed to participate in politics, so the young talents who were interested in the court all walked around Sheng Yunlin. The reason why she only walked around her was that she was the only princess of the late emperor.

That year, Jaffe also won the crown of the civil and military champion. Every Number One Scholar had to wear a red robe, wear a hat with an official flower, and parade through the streets on horseback. On this trip, he won the title of a handsome man who was praised by the whole capital for his appearance like Pan An. Apart from the fact that the face was really cold, there was really nothing to complain about.

The name spread from outside the palace into the palace, all the way to Sheng Yunlin’s ears. On the day of the emperor’s banquet in the palace, Sheng Yunlin did not suppress his curiosity and climbed over the wall to see it.

Unexpectedly, she failed to hold on to the wall and fell down. With quick eyes and quick hands, the new champion rushed up to catch the naughty princess, and Sheng Yunlin fell into Jaffe’s arms and was hugged.

Although it sounds romantic, Sheng Yunlin still remembers that Jaffe’s face when he caught himself was really not good-looking.

It’s more like holding a hot potato. The girl in the

palace, who was thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in luxurious clothes, and dared to be so presumptuous, with Jaffe’s intelligence, could realize who was coming in an instant. Jaffe let go of her at once and saluted politely. “Your Highness, I have offended you.”

This story was embellished and spread all over the palace, so that there was a lot of discussion in the court, saying that the Xie family, who had been an official in three Dynasties, was going to be the Lord, and that the son had been trained in vain.

Since that day, Jaffe has been avoiding Sheng Yunlin, but whenever the princess is present, Jaffe has declined in advance.

Sheng Yun-lin could not help saying in amazement, “So much for avoiding like snakes and scorpions!”! Am I so terrible? Chen Yu,

the crown prince, was very indignant: “Sister only has the title of a princess, and she doesn’t follow the surname of the country. So what if Jaffe is the Lord?”! Is my father the kind of king who doesn’t know how to be flexible and doesn’t cherish talent?

Sheng Yun-lin touched the young prince’s head and said, “Oh, I’m not angry.”

Even if the mouth said so, but in view of the fact that he has become the center of the gossip in the court, there is still a faint momentum of laughing stock, Sheng Yunlin or in his heart on the small book to Jaffe drew a.

In retrospect, the prince in those days was still the younger brother who called out to his sister all day long and acted as a follower behind her, not the domineering ruler of the Chen Dynasty today; and at that time, she was just Princess Changyi, who was loved by thousands of people.

She was given the title of Chang Yi, and what she remembered was her mother, Her Royal Highness, Princess Huayang Chang. The eldest princess

of Huayang was the sister of the late emperor and died to save the late emperor. Sheng Yunlin was originally a princess, but after her parents left, she was taken into the palace by the late emperor and became the only princess.

Later, many years passed, the Chen Dynasty was once destroyed, the villains seized power, many princes of the first emperor died, exiled, she was also demoted to the secluded court, but accidentally survived, but also tried to protect the life of Prince Chen Yu.

Sister and brother two people live in seclusion in the courtyard, she seems to grow up overnight, has been worn out the romantic edges and corners of innocence. Many years have

passed.

She ruled from behind a screen, ascended the throne on a high platform, and was honored as the eldest princess of the Chen Dynasty, assisting the young emperor.

At that time, the border was in an emergency. Whether it was war or peace, there was a lot of noise in the court, but there was no final conclusion. Only Jaffe stood up and claimed to be on a diplomatic mission to the enemy country.

Almost half of the court opposed Jaffe’s plan, but Sheng Yunlin agreed.

Then, as long as seven days of closed-door negotiations, Jaffe succeeded in achieving without a single soldier, also did not betray the country for glory, let the other side withdraw unconditionally.

Jaffe’s mission can almost be described as “a God in World War I.”. When he returned to the capital, he was promoted to the third rank in a row, and his reputation among the people was very high. The eldest princess, Sheng Yunlin, who had allowed him to go on a diplomatic mission, also secured his position as a ruler from behind the curtain.

In another three years, the long princess was so powerful that the Chen Dynasty was so powerful that all corners of the country submitted. In the eyes of

outsiders, Jaffe is her right-hand man; but in Sheng Yunlin’s own eyes, they don’t seem to have any personal relationship beyond the monarch and his subjects. To sum up, they look very familiar, but in fact they are not very familiar.

Sometimes Sheng Yunlin would think that Jaffe might be the kind of courtier that ancient and modern emperors liked best-silent, never formed a clique for personal gain, but also good at observing the will of the superior. If you have any idea, he can help you finish it watertight.

The two of them tacitly did not mention the embarrassing past of “Shangzhu” during the Chinese New Year, as if those green years had never happened.

Now, suddenly being “bought” by Jaffe has given Sheng Yunlin the illusion that it was a lifetime ago. –

Oh, it was a lifetime ago.

Jaffe took Sheng Yunlin to the inn where he lived.

He looked at her coarse linen clothes, dusty face, hesitated to speak, simply called the bartender, let him invite two women to come, give Sheng Yunlin a good clean up.

Sheng Yunlin was pressed into a bucket to take a bath, changed into a yellow skirt of cotton cloth, dried his hair, and finally was pressed in front of a bronze mirror to make up. The face of the girl in the

bronze mirror after being washed with clean water is very beautiful. The

women’s hands were rough, and the knotted hair of the body was more painful. Having not been “served” like this for many years, Sheng Yunlin cried out twice and heard the voice of Jaffe behind him.

“Take it easy.” The tall figure of the man was reflected in the

bronze mirror. Before the

women could react, Sheng Yunlin immediately kept silent.

The Xie family has been an official for generations. Their ancestors had three generations of prime ministers and four ministers. Xie Fei was also a young official to Taifu. It can be said that Jaffe is a direct descendant of a famous family, a gentleman with six skills, and a serious imperial examination into the official career, a prosperous career, a great minister is just around the corner.

Chen Yu also has great trust in Jaffe. Come to think of it, even if Chen Yu pro-government, will continue to reuse Jaffe. So, why is he not in Beijing now, but in the south of the Yangtze River? By

the time the grooming was over, Jaffe had dismissed the women with silver and closed the door before they left, leaving him and Sheng Yunlin alone in the house.

Sheng Yun-lin doesn’t panic either. She’s met a lot of storms and waves. Now this kind of scene gives her a sense of mastery that “the enemy is in the light and I’m in the dark.” Anyway, Jaffe doesn’t know who this statue is.

Jaffe sat and she stood.

Jaffe took a sip of tea and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Er Ya.” Sheng Yunlin answered simply.

Where are you from? Why are you busking on the street?

“People from the suburbs of Beijing.” “My parents are all gone,” Sheng Yun-lin said. “I was sold to that monkey-faced Ah Chin, who brought me here all the way to perform.”

“Can you use a sword?”

“a little bit.” She continued to tell a lie without a draft.

“Where did you learn it?”

「…… I don’t remember.

Who knows Jaffe asked so detailed, she felt that making up may not be able to lie behind, simply play dumb.

Jaffe did not ask, but said, “I’ve traveled all over the world, and I don’t have someone to serve me. I’d better have practiced a little martial arts.”. So I bought you.

「……」 Sheng Yunlin’s eyes suddenly widened.

Travel around the world?

When Taifu, why do you want to travel around the world?

“Is there a problem?” Asked Jaffe.

“No.” Sheng Yunlin shook his head violently.

She quickly assessed her new role as Jaffe’s servant girl and bodyguard.

Well, it’s a bit sad that the princess has been reduced to this.

That night, an acquaintance, Su Wei, the prefect of Lin’an, came to the inn.

Sheng Yunlin could not help sighing: “I have so many acquaintances. I just woke up one day and met two.”. As soon as

Su only saw Xie Fei, he was so polite that he said, “Lord Xie!”! Why didn’t you say hello when you came to Linan? “

” Lord Su, I’m already a grass citizen. ” Jaffe said.

“Whatever you’re saying, the emperor has said at the Hall of Golden Bells that you can be reinstated at any time if you like!” With an ingratiating smile and a hint of hidden flattery on her face, Su Wei said, “Why don’t we go in and talk?”

The two men entered the wing, the door was closed, and the beadles who had followed Su Wei were all shut out, and so was Sheng Yunlin.

She went downstairs and chatted with the bartender.

Because the Satrap made a special trip to come, the bartender was very angry with Sheng Yunlin, and Sheng Yunlin got the information he wanted without any effort.

It was the seventh year of yuande, and three years had passed since she was buried in the Weiyang Palace. There are many folk legends about her death, some say that it was an accident, and some say that she committed suicide because of conspiracy. Sheng Yunlin can not help but listen to some funny, what do they have to rebel? Do you learn the yellow robe of martial arts? It’s not necessary. It’s just a charge imposed on her by the queen. After

her death, Chen Yu took charge of the government and carried out a series of reforms, but it was not particularly smooth. But when Taifu Xie Fei resigned, the emperor asked him to return to the capital many times, Fei all resigned, saying that he wanted to travel around.

Although Jaffe is no longer in a high position, his influence has not weakened at all. Officials from all over the country were very worried that he would “wander” into their own territory. After all, Taifu had been an imperial teacher, and once he found out something, he would definitely lose his black hat.

This is not, LinAn Satrap heard a sign of trouble, then rushed over.

Sheng Yunlin vaguely remembered that many years ago, Jaffe had told himself his ambition, but now his vision had not been achieved, and the emperor trusted him, so why did he resign?

It’s not that I didn’t think it was because of myself, but as soon as the idea came out, Sheng Yunlin shook his head and put it behind him-impossible, how could Jaffe be such a person, self-sentimental can not be too much. The two people

upstairs chatted for an hour, the sky gradually darkened, the lights of the night market lit up one by one, the streets were as lively as in the daytime, and the shouts were endless. Such a rich folk scene in the south of the Yangtze River is rare in the capital.

The bartender saw that Sheng Yunlin was bored and said, “Girl, I don’t think the adults upstairs will come out for a while. Why don’t you go to the night market nearby?”

Sheng Yunlin thought it was a good idea. Although he didn’t have a penny on him, he didn’t have to spend any money to go around.

She wandered alone in the night market, selling sugar figures, lanterns, and all kinds of dim sum stalls, as far as the eye could see. There was a small stall in front of her, which was very lively. There were people inside and outside, and she took a closer look. I saw two young people dressed up as scholars standing in the booth, helping people write couplets.

As soon as I asked, I learned that both of them were students of Lin’an Academy, and that it was the usual practice of the Academy to set up a small stall to help the villagers write couplets during the ten-day holidays. Because the students of Lin’an Academy practice calligraphy well, many people like to join in the fun, and the stalls are surrounded by watertight. Sheng Yun-lin was quite amused. “Why don’t I write it for you?” He asked. It’s killing time

anyway. It’s a good way to kill time.

Seeing a girl suddenly appear, one of the round-faced scholars said disdainfully, “You?”? Can you write? Bad handwriting won’t do!

Another scholar, who was rather elegant in appearance, said, “You must not be rude because you are well-informed.”

Sheng Yun-lin was not annoyed either: “I know. You have to have beautiful handwriting.”. Just give me a piece of paper and I’ll write a few words for you to read.

Seeing that the girl is so confident, I think the words won’t be bad. It just so happens that we are short of hands, so the girl can give it a try. The elegant scholar said to Sheng Yunlin. Then he pushed the pen and paper over.

When Sheng Yun-lin touched the ink and scribbled a few words, the round-faced scholar exclaimed, “I have no eyes!”! I’ve never seen the pen of a little girl so powerful.

Even the onlookers were saying yes.

Sheng Yunlin smiled and did not respond. She thought to herself, “No matter what kind of girl you are, if you spend all day in the court with the ministers, you will be able to gnash your teeth with soft words.”. “I’m Pei Tzu-an,” said the

elegant scholar, “and this is my classmate Xu Bowen. I don’t know what to call a girl?

“My last name is Sheng.”

“Miss Sheng.” Pei Tzu-an arched his hand. “Then I’ll ask Miss Sheng for help.”

Writing requires concentration, attention to every stroke and priority, and once written, it is easy to forget the time. She did not know how many couplets she had written, but she did not notice that the voices around her were shallow and low, and it seemed that even the air was a little colder.

Until Pei Zian’s hand shook in front of her eyes.

Girl? Miss Sheng?

“Hmm?” “Is this the girl’s family?”

Asked Pei Tzu-an.

Sheng Yunlin just woke up from a dream.

Jaffe stood in front of the stall, staring at her words.

Sheng Yunlin stagnated.

“Sheng, Gu, Niang?” Jaffe raised his eyes and repeated Pei Zian’s name word by word.

Sheng Yun-lin’s first reaction was, “It’s over.” His second reaction was, “It’s not that easy to recognize.” His third reaction was, “If you refuse to recognize it, you will die without proof.”. But when these thoughts passed through her mind like wheels, she watched Jaffe pick up the couplet she had written.

“Words have regressed.” Jaffe’s tone was eerily calm.

Also do not know why, he spoke as calm as ever, but Sheng Yunlin felt a little afraid.

…… Probably guilty of being a thief.

“Go back.” Jaffe said.

Sheng Yunlin said, “Oh,” waved to the two scholars apologetically, and followed Jaffe away.

Su Wei was still waiting for Jaffe at the inn. As soon as he came back, he went up to meet him. “Oh, Lord Xie, I told you your servant girl wouldn’t run far!”! Isn’t this coming back?

The bartender also gathered around and pulled Sheng Yunlin to whisper, “Girl, your adult won’t let you run around. Why didn’t you say something in advance?”? He just heard you left on your own, like that. It’s really a bit scary!

Sheng Yunlin is even more guilty.

Su Wei started directly. He tugged at Jaffe’s sleeve and said, “Lord Xie!”! You really have to help Xiaoguan this time.

Jaffe moved his sleeve in silence, which made Su Wei slightly embarrassed.

Sheng Yunlin bent the corners of his mouth: When Jaffe hugged himself falling from the high wall in the palace, his expression was like seeing a ghost. The next second, he wanted to be three feet away from her. It can be seen that Jaffe instinctively resisted the physical contact of strangers.

But although Jaffe pulled away his sleeve, he said, “Lord Su doesn’t have to do that, and Hsieh didn’t say he wouldn’t help.”

Su Wei-teng was overjoyed. “Thank you in advance, XiaGuan!”

Sheng Yunlin held his cheek and felt curious. Lin’an Satrap this is committed what matter, unexpectedly to the always upright Jaffe head? And Jaffe actually said yes?

After seeing off Su Wei, Jaffe asked the shopkeeper to change a room.

The so-called upper room has not only a front hall for visitors, but also two bedrooms.

Sheng Yun-lin was dumbfounded: “This..” You don’t have to..

Jaffe’s eyes were lightly swept over, and Sheng Yunlin immediately shut up. Passed a little while, say again: “I do not run, I also do not have money on the body …” I just went out for a walk.

Jaffe said “hmm,” but he wasn’t going to change rooms. The

two bedrooms were open, one on the left and one on the right, separated by a screen, which was actually a shadowy cover, and the figure on the opposite side was clearly visible.

Sheng Yunlin sleeps in the inner room, farthest from the door. She could not help muttering to herself, “How afraid Jaffe is of my running away!”

Jaffe asked the shopkeeper to hold the lamp and said to Sheng Yunlin, “You go to bed first, and I’ll read for a while.”

Sheng Yunlin tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep.

She felt that Jaffe had recognized her, after all, she had approved many of Jaffe’s memorials. And she was very talkative when she wrote memorials to the throne, and she often wrote long paragraphs about what she had and what she didn’t have, so all the courtiers who wrote a lot were very familiar with her handwriting, but it happened that Xie Taifu, a kind of minister, always had to deliver memorials every day, and she also criticized a lot.

But why did Jaffe not pierce her on the spot when he saw her handwriting? He didn’t even ask.

On the contrary, it makes people feel uncertain.

Seeing her rolling on the bed, Jaffe put down the book and asked through the screen, “Can’t you sleep?”

Sheng Yun-lin gave a muffled “hum.”.

She had nothing to say. “My Lord,” she said, “what does the prefect Su want with you?”

She used to call him to thank adults, but now as a servant girl, it seems normal to continue to call adults. “He lost four hundred thousand taels of silver,”

said Jaffe.

“Huh?”? So serious? Sheng Yun-lin gasped, “Then how did I find you?”

“Because Feng Wuheng stole it.” Feng Wuheng

is not his real name, and he is a bandit. It means that he has walked in Jianghu for many years and has never been caught by the government.

Feng Wuheng is a native of Qi. Qi and Chen are neighbors, but both countries have vast territory, and it is difficult to exchange information unless they are on the border. Even so, the reputation of Feng Wuheng spread from the distant state of Qi to the state of Chen, and it was well known that he was even demonized as a strange appearance with leopard head, ring eyes and iron face.

Also do not know who is the first to discover, in the middle of the night with the wind without trace to frighten children to stop crying is very useful, every family has followed suit, so now even Chen’s three-year-old children know the name of the thief.

However, the reputation of Feng Wuheng in Qi is much better than that in Chen.

Because he is not only a bandit, but also a bandit who robs the rich to help the poor.

Now, the knight-errant who robbed the rich to help the poor may feel that Qi has no challenge, and has come to Chen.

“Feng Wuheng stole 400,000 taels of official silver in a grand manner, and left a personal letter saying that the prefect had scraped together enough from the oil and water of officials at all levels.” “Of course,” said Jaffe, “Su Wei is really not greedy.”

Feng Wuhen did not understand Chen or Lin’an, so he did not know that Su Wei, a “parent official,” was actually not greedy. The reason why he

is not greedy is that he is very rich himself.

The Su family is a local tycoon, and what Su Wei lacks most is money. Strictly speaking, he is a good official and conscientious. So Su Wei’s first reaction was, “Why don’t he pay for the four hundred thousand taels of silver himself?”? The black gauze cap was saved without anyone noticing. Anyway, when he was the Satrap of Lin’an these years, he also sheltered a lot of his own business.

But the staff immediately said not so, Su Wei this time easily filled the hole, the wind without trace will not visit Lin’an again and again? Is that over or not?

Su Wei was worried about what to do, who knew that a subordinate had come to report that a man had spent twenty taels of silver on the street to buy a busking girl, which had been discussed in the streets. And this man looks very much like the Taifu.

Su Wei immediately ran to the inn where Jaffe was staying.

“So Lord Su asked you to help him solve the case?” Sheng Yunlin asked.

Jaffe nodded and said, “It doesn’t matter if you can’t catch Feng Wuheng. If you can find the lost official silver, Feng Wuheng will miss it. This man has a high heart. He will not come to Lin’an again in the future.”

“Why are you willing to help him?”

“Another one may not be as good as the other.”

The Satrap officials at this level, Sheng Yunlin is not too familiar. But now that Jaffe has said, “It may not be as good as him,” perhaps Su Wei is the most suitable parent official for Linan City.

“So how are you going to solve this case?”

“I’m not sure.”

「……」

“Is there anything else that Lord Hsieh hasn’t thought about?” Sheng Yunlin teased.

“Well, there are many.”

“Eh?” Unexpectedly, Jaffe would answer like this, and Sheng Yunlin couldn’t resist asking, “Like what?”

“For example..” He paused, and his voice seemed a little hoarse. “If I had agreed when the emperor asked me to be the Lord, would everything be different now?”

「……!」

Sheng Yunlin never thought that after more than ten years, they would mention this matter again in such a scene.

Through the screen, the figure under the lamp is graceful.

Sheng Yunlin lifted the quilt to cover his face and decided to sleep.

She had a long dream. In the

dream, she went back to the days when she was still in seclusion many years ago. The whip was pulled down one by one, and she protected the young Chen Yu in her arms, letting her skin and flesh open.

Those scars have long since faded away in the days of golden branches and jade leaves, but the pain in the dream is so clear that it is the pain that went deep into the bone marrow at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Then, the picture in the dream flashed and turned to the fire in the Weiyang Palace. The name

of Weiyang Palace, taken from the Han Dynasty, is located in the north of the most noble palace, which is her palace. The fire of the

queen turned the magnificent palace into scorched earth.

She was choked and coughed in the smoke, and her whole heart was out of breath, and tears were forced out. This may be her most awkward moment, compared to when she was in the secluded courtyard, she was even more awkward-not only because of the fire, but also because of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu suspected her. The younger brother who had been calling her sister when she was a child, the young man she had protected in the secluded courtyard, the young emperor who had ascended the throne under her gaze and built the Weiyang Palace for her in the very noble north.

He suspects her. He thought she was unwilling to hand over power and let him govern. The queen falsely accused her of rebellion, and Chen Yu actually. I can’t believe I’ve wavered.

He grounded her in the Weiyang Palace.

He said, “My sister has done her best for Chen Chao-chu, and it’s time for her to have a good rest.”

Then, his queen, set a fire. Before

dying, it is said that the heart is dead, but also so.

Sheng Yunlin was awakened by a nightmare.

She sat up, breathing heavily, sweating, and when she opened her eyes, she felt that her eyes were blank and her brain was completely unable to think. Then

she was brought into a warm embrace.

The embrace was very heavy, as if it was holding her, but there was another hand patting her on the back, for her comfort.

After a while, her eyes gradually regained clarity and her breathing slowly calmed down.

My whole body was soaked with cold sweat. The pain in the dream is still vivid. More pain

in my heart.

“What did you dream about?” Asked Jaffe.

「…… Fire. Weiyang Palace. Sheng Yunlin whispered.

Jaffe wrapped his arms around her and tightened them in an instant.

The fire.. Sure enough, you..

“Well, died in it.”

“Don’t be afraid, Your Highness.” Jaffe stroked her hair, cold with sweat. “Here I am.”

He called her “Your Highness” many times.

From Her Royal Highness to Her Royal Highness, every voice was respectful, with a sense of alienation between the monarch and his subjects.

Only this time, his voice is very light, but his breath is very heavy. The voice was long and different from what Sheng Yunlin had heard before.

Long Memories: After the rebirth of the long princess, she is engaged in career

again.
