"I have a special status now, and it's no good for you to get too close to me blatantly."

Glancing around from the corner of her eye, Yu Yunxi lowered her voice to remind Xu Zhiyan.

Xu Zhiyan kept a gentle smile all the time, and he said softly, "I'm just a new top scorer, with no foundation, no team, and a clear conscience."

Meeting his open eyes, Yu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, but soon she also became calm.

"You go to work first, and we will meet again if there is a chance."

"good."

The two old friends who hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years were not too restrained when they met again.

After Xu Zhiyan turned and left, Qian Mei couldn't help asking: "Master, who is she?"

"The concubine of the Xu family, now the champion of the new division. Back then, his mother and my mother were handkerchief friends, and the relationship between the two families was not bad. I grew up with him since childhood, but the Xu family was exiled to the Northwest because of improper admonition ten years ago. I haven't seen him for ten years."

Yu Yunxi patiently explained.

Her expression was also filled with emotion.

It has been... ten years.

"Let's go back to Yufu to watch the excitement."

"Yes, master."

...

Xu Zhiyan saw Feng Yili from a distance, and he walked forward to salute without being humble or overbearing, "Your Majesty has seen the Regent."

Feng Yili just stared at him with cold and deep eyes, without making a sound.

Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a little off, Luo Xiuran quickly gave an awkward laugh, and then asked, "Are you Mr. Xu?"

"Reporting to Lord Luo, that's right." Xu Zhiyan responded modestly and politely.

"Then, what's the relationship between you and that... Cough, Princess Regent?" Luo Xiuran continued to probe.

When Luo Xiuran said the words "Princess Regent", Xu Zhiyan frowned unconsciously.

He said in a deep voice: "Xiaguan and her have known each other since childhood, and they are close friends."

Best friend?

A certain regent's eyes were gloomy again.

"Prince Regent, Lord Luo, the emperor is eager to summon the officials, and the officials are going to meet the saint first." Xu Zhiyan nodded to them, and went straight into the imperial study.

"Best friend? Is there a pure friendship between men and women? Anyway, those best friends of this Marquis are all beautiful women." Luo Xiuran couldn't help muttering.

Jiang Ying: "..."

"Master Luo, you, it's time to shut up!" He approached Luo Xiuran, gritted his teeth.

"Ah? Oh, oh, I was just joking, don't worry about Yili." Luo Xiuran only realized it at this time, and he hurriedly apologized to Feng Yili.

Feng Yili's fingertips under his long sleeves turned white, and veins floated on the back of his hands.

After a long silence, he suppressed the fishy sweetness in his throat, and said hoarsely, "Jiang Ying, go to Wei's house to get the medicine."

What?

Jiang Ying only noticed at this time that their prince's complexion was pale and colorless.

"Yes, my lord."

It turns out that the prince has been holding on just now.

...

at home.

The Zhou family, the Chen family and Yu Wanrong were all waiting at the door.

"It's almost dawn now, why hasn't Mr. Xiang come back?" Aunt Gao muttered depressingly while stirring her handkerchief.

"Don't worry, how could Mr. Xiang be tricked by a cheap girl? Besides, the emperor still trusts Mr. Xiang so much, so it will be fine. If something happens, it's because of that cheap girl Yu Yunxi." Aunt Deng followed suit.

Mrs. Zhou also snorted coldly: "The emperor hates the Southwest, and he will take the opportunity to peel off that cheap hoof tonight. Your Prime Minister may just stay in the palace to deal with some things."

They all firmly believed that Yu Zhongcheng would be fine.

At this moment, Yufu's carriage appeared in their sight.

"Master Xiang is back, Master Xiang is back."

Aunt Gao ran to the front as if asking for credit, and said coquettishly, "Master Xiang, we were still talking about you just now, you can count yourself back. I'm afraid Yu Yunxi died in the palace now."

There was another chuckle all around.

Soon, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a pair of porcelain-white slender hands.

"Aunt Gao, thank you for thinking about the county lord so much, but the county lord has done nothing wrong, the emperor will not kill people randomly."

Yu Yunxi's cold voice came out.

Everyone's face changed suddenly.

"Why are you okay?"

Aunt Gao raised her voice and asked loudly.

"Where is Mr. Xiang?" Chen's heart was very disturbed, she stared at Yu Yunxi with her sinister eyes, eager to ask why.

"The emperor had something to say to his father, so he left him behind." Yu Yunxi yawned, she didn't sleep all night, she was a little tired.

"I have something to say all night!" Zhou said angrily.

"Grandmother, you will know later." Yu Yunxi withdrew her eyes and said indifferently.

At this time, Linde and others hurried over.

"Everyone in the Yu Mansion accepts the order." He shouted at the top of his voice.

Zhou and the others were disturbed and quickly knelt down.

Yu Yunxi leaned lazily on the master, and he yawned again, without any intention of kneeling down.

Eunuch Lin De wanted to say something, but thinking about what happened last night, the Southwest County Lord is not easy to mess with now, so he quickly suppressed his thoughts.

"Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor, called and said, Yu Zhongcheng did not do enough to relieve the disaster, and did not seize the position of prime minister, so he was sent to heaven to wait for punishment. It is an insult to Tianxia's family property to occupy the aunt's family property from top to bottom. He is ordered to return all the dowry within two days To the name of the Southwest County Lord."

What?

Chen's head was dizzy for a while, and he almost fell down.

"Mother." Yu Wanrong hurried over to support her.

"Eunuch Lin, this is a misunderstanding. Why did the disaster become so serious?" She hurriedly asked Lin De.

Lin De was usually very polite to her, but at this time, his expression was obviously much colder.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, and then said: "Miss Yu Er, our family can't say too much, I can only say one thing, the prime minister is confused, he took the prime minister's seat with great difficulty, and he disappeared overnight."

"Eunuch Lin, has the emperor misunderstood something? Can the regent and the crown prince explain it to my father?" Yu Wanrong continued to ask anxiously.

Lin De lowered his voice and said, "Second Miss Yu, it is the Prince Regent who has produced evidence to prove that Prime Minister Yu is ineffective in helping the disaster."

What?

Yu Wanrong staggered a bit, this time, it was her turn that she almost lost her balance.

"This, this means that not only does the regent not help the prime minister, but he also makes trouble? Why does the regent do this? Doesn't he like the second lady, and he still wants the prime minister to be his father-in-law?"

Aunt Gao burst into tears, as if she couldn't accept the truth at all.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Chen pressed her sore brows, and sternly scolded Aunt Gao.

"Eunuch Lin, what did His Highness the Crown Prince say?" Restraining her emotions, Chen asked Lin De.

Lin De said with a straight face: "Mrs. Yu, because of speaking for Prime Minister Yu, His Royal Highness is now banned from the East Palace, and the empress is also implicated."

What? Something happened to the prince too?

The last hope in Chen Shi and Yu Wanrong's heart was shattered.

Yu Yunxi stood by and watched this farce, a bit of irony flashed in her eyes.

really……

The emperor still chose to protect the crown prince.

The so-called ineffective disaster relief, locked in a dungeon, and grounded are just the last fig leaf left by the emperor for Feng Weizhou.

As long as the Queen's faction remains intact, Yu Zhongcheng's life will still be preserved.

After all, if Yu Zhongcheng died, Feng Weizhou's reputation would not be preserved.

"That's all our family can say. Also, Mrs. Yu, remember to return the dowry to the Southwest County Lord within two days. If it is delayed, the Emperor will be unhappy again."

Lin De tapped again, then ordered someone to remove the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion, then got into the carriage and drove away.

"Rong'er, just now the eunuch meant that your father lost his black hat and was locked up, right?" Zhou's whole person was confused, and she hadn't fully reacted yet.

Yu Wanrong's head was in such a mess that she had no intention of paying attention to her at all.

Aunt Gao was crying and fussing: "Old lady, that's what they meant! You said Xiangye has been an official for so many years, how could he not be able to do such simple things as disaster relief. Now that he has lost his black hat, we don't have a Xiangfu anymore! What will Hua'er do in the future, I still want to let Master Xiang arrange an official job for him when he grows up."

"That's right, wouldn't we be regarded as the aunts of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future? Those gossiping women in the capital will definitely laugh at us to death." Aunt Deng also began to cry and complain.

All they think about now is what to do when their glory and wealth are gone!

"Master Xiang is not dead yet, why are you crying for funerals!"

Chen's ears hurt from their crying, she turned around and slapped each of them hard.

"Ma'am, you..."

Aunt Deng and Aunt Gao covered their faces, their eyes were very unconvinced.

But they have been suppressed by the Chen family for so many years, and they are bullying in their bones. After meeting Chen's sinister eyes, they dare not speak out in an instant.

"Yu Yunxi, what did you do in the palace?"

When Chen turned around, those eyes stared at Yu Yunxi, as if she wanted to cramp her bones.
