The fight stopped suddenly.

"Yunxi?"

Huanan Xin was stunned and seemed to be unbelievable until the door of the hall opened. Gu Yunxi entered lightly in a lake blue skirt embroidered with three treasures, lotus leaves, and tassels. Then his eyes were as bright as snow, with unspeakable surprises.

The young emperor stretched out his hand and trembled with excitement.

"Come on, let her in!"

It was time to meet Gu Yunxi. Huanan Jiyan was so nervous.

After calming her mind, she looked at Lu Qiange silently.

"Yunxi?"

Huanan Xin was so excited that when the graceful figure crossed the threshold, he strode forward.

"How did you get out of Jingyang Palace? It's almost noon. Is it hot outside? Do you feel better?"

There were a series of warm greetings. He was meticulous, and there was a keen affection in his eyes.

Gu Yunxi was wearing a bright lake blue satin full-length gown with a woven dark pattern. The long gown was embroidered with some moon white thread and silver silk to form a cluster of Albizia flowers, which looked radiant. Even the edge of the gown was embroidered with cloud, bee and butterfly patterns. She was gorgeous.

She just was recovered from illness, so she simply tied up a single spiral bun, wore a peony silk flower with beads on her temples, obliquely inserted a hanging bead hairpin, and wore two or three tassel wreaths hairpins in the hair.

"Your Majesty."

Gu Yunxi shook the yellow Begonia flower silk cloak, leaned forward a little, and said faintly. "Rise! Rise!"

The beauty in front of him was still in a state of weakness. And she was as beautiful as Xi Shi (one of the four beauties in ancient China). Huanan Xin's heart beat faster when he looked at her.

He stretched out his hand to hold her, his eyes full of desire.

After a year, she finally agreed to speak to him.

He could not help but rejoice. He thought it was his tenderness that moved her. In this way, it was not far from the day when she accepted him from the heart.

Gu Yunxi didn't lift her eyelids. She raised the corners of her mouth to squeeze out a little smile. Her voice was clear and said, "I have long had old friends with Princess Huaishu and Prince Solo Hua. I know that today is the day for the princess to go back to the palace to pay a visit. I want to come and have a chat with them in person."

Huanan Jiyan came forward worried. Her eyes were wet. She choked before she came to speak first.

"Yunxi, how have you been this year? Look what you've become!"

Lu Qiange came over and looked at her finely made-up face. He was very distressed.

She remained pale when she was meticulously covered with delicate lotus moisturizing grease and blush. Her thin cheeks looked like a knife.

Her eyes were dark and not as bright as before.

Lu Qiange's throat tightened in an instant, like the burning pain of being scratched by a sharp claw.

"Don't be afraid, Yunxi. Jiyan and I came here today to take you and Uncle away. When we return to the western tribes, I will send someone to protect you and never let you get hurt again."

Gu Yunxi slowly looked up with no smile on her face.

"Leave? As a native of Da Yi, why should I go to a foreign country with you? Now everybody knows that I am the favorite imperial concubine of His Majesty. If I leave the imperial family, not only me, but also Huanan family will be laughed at by the world.

Princess Huaishu, you are also a member of Huanan family. How can you allow your husband to roar at the Golden Palace in front of so many maids and eunuchs? He not only speaks unkindly to His Majesty, but also speaks wildly to the concubines in the imperial harem! How dare he be so reckless."

"What?"

Huanan Jiyan looked stunned, as if she had been beaten to the head. Her figure trembled, and there were tears at the bottom of her eyes.

"Yunxi, what's the matter with you?"

She blushed with anxiety, but refused to give up. She grabbed her slender fingers and said impassioned, "Have you forgotten the past? You have already married the Ninth Uncle Huanan He! Where is he now? Don't you want to be with him?"

Gu Yunxi's cold face quietly showed a touch of sadness. She retreated with a cold face and said quickly, "I long for a stable life. I don't want to live in those days that have been robbed by others. In this year, I have learned too many things. Huanan He cared about his reputation at the beginning. It was his selfishness and stupidity that hurt me and his subordinates! I used the heart-by-heart blood bond to block the disaster for him, and I won't owe him anything from now on. Go back, I won't go with you."

After saying this, when she turned to face Huanan Xin, she calmed down again, nodded and said slowly, "I have explained what I think to Prince Solo and Princess Huaishu truthfully. Now I'm not feeling well. Your Majesty, I hope you can approve me to go back to the palace to have a rest."

Huanan Xin clapped his hands happily, showing complacency.

"OK, you go back and have a rest. I'll go and talk to you immediately after I finish dealing with this matter."

He turned his head and commanded the people outside the temple.

"Liang Zhen, bring my imperial carriage, and you can personally take people to return Lady Yun to Jingyang Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Huanan Jiyan and Lu Qiange were speechless and stared at Gu Yunxi supported by Liang Zhen and going outside the hall.

Huanan Xin held his hand and squinted at the young couple.

"Has my darling made her words clear enough? I advise you two not to waste your time. If you want to stay for dinner, I can ask someone to take you to Baohe Hall. If you don't need food, I won't force you to stay. Help yourself!"

After being ordered to leave, Huanan Jiyan and Lu Qiange couldn't say anything more. They quit Qinming Hall angrily.

"Why did Yunxi become like this?"

Huanan Jiyan stood at the top of the steps, looked up at the indigo painted corridor, and silently swallowed tears of sadness.

Lu Qiange thought for a moment and looked at the falling buildings and halls at the end of the sky.

"Jiyan, maybe we were too anxious and disrupted Yunxi's plan."

"Plan?" Huanan Jiyan was confused.

"She's a weak woman. Her martial arts are useless. Now she's trapped in the imperial city by my brother. What else can she plan? Even if she wants to do something, doesn't she need help from outside?"

Lu Qiange closes his eyes.

"I'm afraid she doesn't know where our uncle is right now."

Huanan Jiyan opened her mouth in amazement and thought for a moment.

"Zhu, as a princess, it's always easier for me to get in and out of the imperial harem. I immediately ran to Jingyang Palace and asked Yunxi face to face. You go back to the post house and wait for me."

...

Gu Yunxi sat in the emperor's carriage. There were maids carrying incense burning copper lamps in front and back, followed by the court guards wearing knives.

No wonder it was an imperial carriage that only the emperor could ride. Eight people carried it steadily without delay.

The prosperous and broad baldachin on the imperial carriage was inlaid with gold and jade patterns, shining with colorful glass light in the strong sun.

The palace maids along the way saw the bright yellow carriage coming far away. It was spectacular. They all stopped, followed the rules of the palace, bent on the ground and bowed their heads.

Until the last line of the honor guards passed by the palace maids and walked out more than ten meters, they could look up slightly.

Then, someone was surprised to find that the man sitting on the imperial carriage was not the emperor, but a concubine.

Gu Yunxi sat on the imperial carriage with a wide view, and did not want to enjoy the beautiful flowers on both sides of the palace road.

At this moment, she was in deep remorse.

As Lu Qiange guessed, she just hurt the couple with cold words. It was not because she didn't know good or bad.

Because of the whereabouts of her husband, Huanan He, she had to do so, and sternly refused to accept the protection of Udan.

Separated from her husband for a year, she knew that even though the heart-by-heart blood bond was still in existence, Huanan Xin would no longer dare to kill his Ninth Uncle Huanan He considering her life. But he could completely hide him and never let him meet her.

Before finding her husband, Gu Yunxi must take advantage of Huanan Xin's suspicious character as an emperor to show an attitude in front of people and express her willingness to stay in the palace at ease.

And Huanan Xin would be suspicious and try to test her sincerity.

At that time, it must be the day for her to meet her husband.

“Hua'er, Jiyan, thank you for coming for me and my husband. Here, I wish you a happy long life together.” Gu Yunxi thought.

Gu Yunxi was thinking about something and leaned forward suddenly.

It was because the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Are you blind? How dare you stop the imperial carriage? I'll kill you!"

At the front, Liang Zhen said angrily in his thin voice. Then Gu Yunxi heard the harsh beating sound and the woman's sad cry.

"Don't hit me, Lord Liang, please... I'm anxious to send clothes to the palaces. I really didn't see the imperial carriage..."

Gu Yunxi was annoyed by the noise. She frowned and turned sideways to see Liang Zhen waving snow-white horsetail whisk, beating the maid's head on her knees.

"Stop," Gu Yunxi shouted.

"A living man is not the pulley on the wellhead. It's inevitable that a man will make mistakes once or twice. Lord Liang, give me a face and spare her this time."

Liang Zhen immediately stopped, bowed and flattered, "Ouch, Your Grace, you're shortening my life by saying that. If you open your mouth, how dare I not obey?"

He glared at the maid and scolded, "It's Your Grace who forgives you this time. You have to thank her!"

The maid ignored the blood stains on the corners of her mouth and cried and kowtowed constantly.

"Your Grace, I thank you for your kindness, and I thank you for your kindness..."

The maid raised her bruised face and was stunned.

Liang Zhen saw this and whisked the horsetail whisk up again.

"Hey, don't you get up and make way? Are you going to spend the night here?"

Facing Gu Yunxi, the maid burst into tears.

"Your Grace, excuse me, are you Lady Yun, the sister of Imperial Mother Yu?"
