Scheming to dominate the world 007 walks out of the courtyard
"Has the princess gone for a walk?"
Yu Zhu's voice involuntarily rose several decibels in shock, she hadn't expected to hear such shocking news when she came back from the front hall to get her meal.
Yu Cui's heart was still in shock, but facing Yu Zhu's doubt, she nodded firmly: "The princess didn't allow me to accompany her, and had to go out of the hospital alone."
Yu Zhu's face changed slightly: "Quickly, let's go find the princess, just in case..."
Yu Cui looked at her who suddenly stopped talking and then suddenly stopped in her tracks: "What's wrong? Yu Zhu, didn't you say you were going to find the princess?" Why did you suddenly stop again?
Yu Zhu slowly turned her head and looked at Yu Cui: "Do you think the princess will be okay?"
Yu Cu thought for a moment and then shook her head: "No."
"Why?"
Yu Cui looked at Yu Zhu with a silly expression: "The princess can't leave the Cold Palace, and even if she wants to take a walk, it's only nearby. What could happen? Besides, what kind of temperament the princess has, we've been clearer than anyone else in our hearts for these five years. The princess has already let go, so naturally she won't seek death again." If she wanted to seek death, she wouldn't wait until five years later to do it.
Yu Zhu lowered her head and pondered for a moment before resolutely turning around and walking back: "Let's go do our thing."
Yu Cui Fox looked at Yu Zhu suspiciously: "Yu Zhu, what's wrong with you?" She was startled and confused.
Yu Zhu turned her head to look at Yu Cui and threw out a sentence: "Yu Cui, I should look up to you." Intelligence and stability are not worth mentioning in front of the princess, what they can give to the princess is wholehearted loyalty and trust.
Yu Cui foolishly stared at Yu Zhu, who had thrown out a sentence and then strode back into the house. She felt that she simply didn't understand what Yu Zhu was saying. Good grief, Yu Zhu was getting stranger and stranger!
It hasn't snowed in the past few days, but once it starts snowing in the cold palace, the accumulated snow is difficult to melt. This place is located in the coldest direction of the imperial palace, and after it snows, there are no palace staff to sweep it away. Often, the accumulated snow from previous days has not yet melted before being covered by new snow again.
Yu Worry walked on the snowy ground, sizing up the surroundings covered in snow.
For five years, she hasn't left the small courtyard, only seeing the changing of the seasons through a small window. Of the four seasons - spring, summer, autumn and winter, she likes winter the most.
The snow in winter will cover up all the desolation here, and her heart will be even more peaceful.
Not far away, two patrolling eunuchs walked over and suddenly saw a figure standing still in the snowy ground. At first, they were startled, thinking they had seen something, and their faces turned as white as snow, not daring to move forward again. However, after exchanging a glance with each other, they looked up at the sky again, and it was exactly noon, so it was impossible for anything to appear at this time...
They were standing far apart and couldn't see clearly who the other person was, so one of them got annoyed and asked, "Which courtyard are you from?" The other person didn't move at all, making him think he had just bumped into something dirty.
Yuan Wuyou turned her head back, this cold palace everyone knew her, but the people who really saw her were not many, let alone in these five years she had not stepped out of the yard.
She didn't say a word, and the two little eunuchs walked up hastily. As soon as they saw her face clearly, both of them were stunned, standing still and not moving at all, subconsciously holding their breath for fear of startling the person in front of them.
Yu Wu You looked at the two people who were stunned there and asked: "What are your names?"
"Immortal... fairy..." Xiaohua stuttered, he didn't know what words to use to describe the beauty in front of him, who was even more beautiful than a painting of an immortal fairy. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen.
Yu Wuyou smiled slightly: "You're calling me Xianzi?" Although she hadn't paid attention to her own appearance, judging from Liu Yinghua and Yuan Haotian's appearances, hers couldn't be bad.
"No, no, no, everyone calls me Xiao Huazi."
"What about you?" Yuan Wuyou turned to the person who had just spoken out and scolded her.
That little eunuch's face turned red, and he didn't dare to look directly at Yuan Wuyou again. His voice was low like a mosquito hum: "I... I'm called Gao Ping, everyone calls me Little Gaozi."
"Xiao Huazi, Xiao Gaizi." Yuan Wuyou carefully and quietly repeated it once.
Xiao Huazi and Xiao Gaizi heard their names being called by the immortal, they were both surprised and delighted, their faces turned bright red, but they didn't know what to say.
After all, those who live in the Cold Palace are special prisoners.
"My name is Yuan Wuyou, nice to meet you." Yuan Wuyou said with a smile.
Both of them raised their heads in shock, staring at her incredulously. Yuan Wuyou? The most special prisoner of the Cold Palace? And what did she just say? Nice to meet you?
"I've been out for a while, it's time to go back." Ignoring the shock of the two people, Yuan Wuyou waved at them and turned to leave. After walking a few steps, she seemed to remember something and turned her head back, smiling sweetly at the two of them, saying softly: "I forgot to tell you, I live in the courtyard not far from the front, Ta Hui Hall."
The two little eunuchs were stunned again, foolishly staring at the slender figure slowly disappearing in the snowy ground like a leisurely stroll.
After a long time, the two soulless people slowly returned to the world of the living. Xiaohua was still looking ahead and murmured: "She is Princess Worry-Free."
"Nonsense." Xiaogaozi thought that he had just shouted at her so loudly, and his heart was filled with regret.
Xiao Huazi said dejectedly: "Princess Worry-free is as beautiful as a fairy, and her smile is even more beautiful."
Xiao Gaozi was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice: "But she can only live in the Cold Palace." And it's for the rest of her life.
Xiao Gaozi's words fell, and Xiao Huazi also woke up with a start. The two of them looked at each other in front of the Taihuidian Hall with complex expressions.
"Princess, I'll go heat up some food."
The princess has finally returned, Yu Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said.
Taking the hot water handed over by Yu Cui, Yuan Wuyou held it in her hands to warm them up. Looking at the two people's neat and calm movements and expressions, she felt a sense of satisfaction. They finally understood their duties, and it wasn't a waste of her efforts.
After dinner, Yuan Wuyou instructed, "Yuzhu, take an object from the box and go find Wei Gonggong, let him send a qin over to me."
"Yes, Princess."
Yu Zhu respectfully replied, "Earlier when the princess went out for a walk alone, she had already made up her mind about what to do. Why did the princess not leave the house for five years? And why did she suddenly go out today? She hadn't used anything in this wooden box for five years, so why open it now? There were many questions in her heart, but she knew that even if she didn't get the answers... perhaps she already had them."
……
Wei Zhong gazed at the pearl in front of him in astonishment, slightly smaller than a quail egg, but the luster it emitted told him that this pearl was valuable.
Yu Zhu glanced at Wei Zhong and said in a low voice, "This pearl was taken from the crown of the Empress Dowager when the princess was three years old."
Wei Zhong's expression turned cold as he looked at Yu Zhu: "What do you mean by this?"
Yu Zhu shook her head: "Yu Zhu didn't mean anything, just telling Grandpa the value of this pearl."
Wei Zhong's eyes returned to the pearl, and he quickly made a decision. A smile spread across his cold face: "Yu Zhu, thank the princess on our behalf. The princess is too polite, if you want anything, just tell me and I'll make sure to send it over. Who dares to accept the princess's reward?"
"The princess's reward, the duke accepts it, as a matter of course. Unless this small thing is not worthy of the duke's attention?"
Wei Zhong waved his hands in horror: "No no no, Yu Zhu, you're being too harsh with your words, this is going to be the death of our family."
Yu Zhu smiled and said: "But the princess said she wanted to reward it to Grandfather, but Grandfather refused. If Yu Zhu goes back, it will be hard to explain."
"Wei Zhong was in a difficult situation."
Yu Zhu bowed and said: "Yu Zhu first thanked the Grand Duke on behalf of our princess."
Wei Zhong looked at Yu Zhu with a bitter face, and was in a dilemma for half a day before sighing: "Forget it, forget it, our family won't make things difficult for you this time, go ahead, wait for me to personally go over there in two days to thank the princess."
Is this what you asked for? Yu Zhu thanked: "Thank you, Master Yu Zhu."
Watching Yu Zhu walk away, Fu Gonggong, the trusted eunuch who had been standing behind Wei Zhong, stepped forward and looked at the pearls on the plate, delightedly saying: "Dry father, this pearl is a priceless treasure. I was worried that you would really refuse this treasure earlier." This is indeed the pearl from the phoenix crown.
Wei Zhong slapped his hand away, saying displeased: "Be careful."
Fu Gonggong smiled slyly, looking at the pearl's eyes gleaming with greed, but he also knew that this treasure would never be his. No rush, though - Princess Worry-Free had a whole box of rare and precious treasures; surely one of them would be his.
It's obvious what he's thinking, Wei Zhong gave him a cold glance: "I'm warning you, the things of Princess Worry-Free are not something we can touch."
Fu Gonggong smiled slyly: "Dry father, what are you talking about? I dare not!"
"You'd better not dare, don't play tricks under my nose. If you want me to know that you've gone to provoke the Taohuadong, then wash your neck clean and wait for the beheading."
"But didn't you say that anyone who enters our Cold Palace will never have a day to leave, and no matter who comes in, we will be in control?" Fu Gonggong asked in confusion.
"Wei Gong sneered: 'Are your eyes blind or has water gotten into your brain? Five years ago, when Shi Gong sent her in, that box was carried in front of us. What was the purpose of that box? It was to intimidate us, no matter who thought it up, but since the Emperor agreed to it, what does that mean? We must be clear and understand.'"
Fu Gonggong suddenly realized and also broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he feared his father-in-law and did not secretly take these jewels behind his back.
Wei Gonggong carefully picked up the pearl and placed it in his palm, admiring it: "A few days ago, Liang Fei gave birth to the seventh imperial son. Shi Gonggong personally brought over several sets of clothes, although they are small, but they represent that the Emperor has finally shown compassion towards the princess."
Otherwise, even if this treasure is picked from the phoenix crown, he has a greedy heart and must think clearly whether he has a life to use it.
Life is more important than money, he hasn't lived enough yet! Now that he knows the emperor's feelings for Princess Worry-Free are not entirely paternal, he would be happy to help her out, especially since she sent him such a valuable treasure!
