"We in the Southwest can escort Nanxun to the capital, but the emperor must promise to the people of the world that he will not collect taxes from the Southwest, nor move the soldiers and horses in the Southwest."

Yu Yunxi spoke expressionlessly.

"Are you trying to rebel? Your request can be regarded as the separatism of the Southwest!"

Chen Gui was so angry that his beard blew up.

"It's still the same sentence. If the emperor disagrees, there is no way to discuss this matter. By the way, our Southwest Palace has another request, that is, the emperor must hand over the phoenix crown that Princess Chunyang got married back then."

Yu Yunxi continued to speak in a cold voice.

Princess Chunyang was favored, and the phoenix crown she wore when she got married was personally rewarded by the then emperor.

But since she disappeared, all her belongings have been collected in the palace, and there are heavy soldiers watching, so it is not easy to take them out.

Although she didn't know what the use of this phoenix crown was, her adoptive father sent someone to tell her just now.

If you want to make a request to the emperor, add this one, and the emperor must agree to make any concessions.

What?

Princess Chunyang's phoenix crown?

This Princess Chunyang has been missing for so many years, why is it still being mentioned now!

Chen Kui is getting old, so he is quite clear about the past, and he has a weird look on his face.

Yu Yunxi was in no mood to talk nonsense with them anymore, and she issued an order to evict guests again: "Let's write to the emperor about today's request. If the emperor agrees, the southern prince will be able to go north in a few days."

Although Feng Yijin had a dark heart, he cared very much about his emperor's face.

If he made a promise to the people of the world, even if he was furious in his heart in the future, he would never dare to break his promise easily.

At that time, the Southwest will be safe for a long time.

Chen Gui knew that he would not get any benefit today, so he walked away angrily.

"General Yu, let's go too." Feng Weiping took the initiative to walk to Yu Yongnian's side and whispered.

"Princess go back first, I have some things to tell elder sister at the end." Yu Yongnian said quietly.

Have something to say to her?

Here, Yu Yunxi paused slightly with the hand holding the teacup.

After half an hour.

Both Feng Weiping and Chen Kui left.

Both Yu Yunxi and Yu Yongnian came to the backyard.

"If you have anything to say, just speak up." Yu Yunxi's tone was extremely cold.

"Elder Sister, now that Southwest has Crown Prince Nan in hand, she is indeed confident. But if Southwest quarrels too much with the court, it will not do you any good. I saw that your relationship with the Prince Regent has improved today, and you will definitely do it in the future If you go back to the capital, your situation will be extremely dangerous..."

Yu Yongnian's tone was slightly urgent.

"The third brother is caring about me?" Yu Yunxi looked at Yu Yongnian with a strange expression.

Meeting her eyes, Yu Yongnian's face froze, and his eyes looked away unnaturally.

"It's not caring, but a reminder. You are still half of Yu's family. It would be bad if Yu's family got angry because of you."

Yu Yongnian kept a straight face, pretending to be serious when he spoke.

Hearing this, Yu Yunxi had a smile on his face.

She did not expect that her third brother... would be so interesting.

Whether she cares or not, she can still feel it.

"The third brother just needs to do his own thing well. The various forces in the capital are now restraining each other. With you, the Yu family can't fail. Because when the emperor is in power, he will not give up chess pieces like you easily..."

Yu Yunxi replied calmly.

Yu Yongnian: "..." Is this a consolation for her?

"Also, what is the result of Southwest's step-by-step concessions to the imperial court over the years? If so, it's better to be tougher." Yu Yunxi continued to speak, this time her tone was much cooler.

Yu Yongnian pursed his lips and stopped talking about it.

"The third brother came here on purpose, isn't it just to deliver an imperial decree?" Yu Yunxi looked sideways, and said with a half-smile.

Feng Yijin's most important thing is to restrain the powerful officials, so it is impossible for him to send Yu Yongnian and Chen Kui together.

After all, the Yu family and the Chen family belonged to the same faction.

But Yu Yongnian appeared here.

That just goes to show...

It was at his own request.

Moreover, during the time in the capital, she also observed Tai Yongnian.

He is very smart, and always keeps a distance from Feng Weiping, Feng Weizhou and others.

He has been playing it safe!

Such a person should not choose to stare at Southwest at this time.

That can only show that he came with selfishness.

Hearing Yu Yunxi's words, Yu Yongnian was slightly taken aback.

After reacting, he said in a muffled voice, "I can't hide anything from you."

"Mother and father did something wrong to you and your mother back then. I feel ashamed for their actions. Although I know it's meaningless to say these things now, I still want to tell you one thing..."

With that said, Yu Yongnian took out a jade bracelet and a letter from his body.

"Back then, when your mother was still alive, an old man brought her portrait to the mansion to find someone. Seeing this, my father, as if he was facing a big enemy, tried his best to deny that your mother was in the mansion, and even asked people to drive the old man away... ..."

"I was at the side at the time. I was suspicious, so I followed. I wanted to ask the old man clearly, but my father sent someone to beat the old man to death. I was young at the time, and I was powerless. After everyone left , I went to the old man, he held my hand with his last breath, and gave me these two things..."

"He also told me to give these two things to your mother. But I felt that your mother and daughter were the sinners of Yufu. If it weren't for you, Yufu would not be in trouble. So I hid this letter and letter Things so far..."

Hearing Yu Yongnian's words, Yu Yunxi was shocked.

She hesitated and raised her hand to take the things.

"Then why are you telling me this now?" she asked suspiciously.

"I'm ashamed to say it, do you believe it?" Yu Yongnian turned his head and said in a low voice.

"I……"

"I just said it casually. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I say it ashamedly. I just gave it to you because I felt that these two things hindered me." He coughed lightly, and then retorted awkwardly.

Yu Yunxi only thought it was funny.

Why didn't she realize that Yu Yongnian was so duplicity before.

Just because this letter has been preserved for so many years, although it is yellow on the surface, but has never been opened, she knows that his nature is not as bad as the rest of Yu's family members.

"Mother and concubine."

At this moment, Yu Xiaobaozi ran over quickly holding the freshly baked pastries.

He thought Yu Yunxi was done with his work, so he wanted to find her.

But when he ran here and saw Yu Yongnian was there, he was stunned.

Yu Yongnian was also shocked when he saw Xiao Baozi's face that didn't change any more.

"He, he, he is..."

"Jin'er, come here and call uncle." Yu Yunxi waved to Jin'er.

uncle?

Oh, the Yu family.

Although Xiao Baozi was not very happy, he still ran over quickly with his short legs.

"Uncle." He called out in a muffled voice.

After being called uncle by such a little guy, Yu Yongnian, who had been calm just now, was a little at a loss at this moment.

"Hey, uncle is a little anxious to go out, and he didn't bring a meeting gift. I'll make it up for you another day." He said awkwardly.

"It's okay, Jin'er can give you a meeting gift."

As the little bun spoke, he fumbled around his waist, and found a few pieces of silver.

At first, Yu Yongnian thought that the little bun was trying to tease him.

But when he saw...

The little bun took the broken silver and counted it bit by bit.

"This is for my mother to buy candied haws, this is for my mother to buy a hairpin, this is for my mother to buy a skirt... This is for me to buy meat to eat, but I can give it to uncle you."

Gritting his teeth, he reluctantly gave up, and put the last piece of silver in Yu Yongnian's hand.

Yu Yunxi looked at it from the side, a little dumbfounded.

It turned out that his son actually saved money.

She always thought that he didn't need money, so she didn't give him any money.

It is estimated that he picked up these pieces of silver from Qianji and the others.

"Thank you, thank you." Yu Yongnian hesitated for a while, and finally took over the little bun's broken silver.

Looking at the broken silver in his hand for a long time, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Eldest sister, I'm going back to the post station first, I will write to the emperor to report Southwest's request, please rest assured."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Looking at Yu Yongnian's back, the little bun asked in a muffled voice: "Mother, I also heard from Aunt Qianjiao that you made a request to that bad emperor, but will he agree?"

"He will agree. After all, there is news from the Nanyue Kingdom that they are willing to use two cities to redeem Nanxun." Yu Yunxi said quietly.

Unexpectedly, Nanxun is quite expensive, and it is worth two cities.

Two cities, and a centrifugal southwest, the emperor will make a choice.

"By the way, has the snow lotus been brought here?" Thinking of this, Yu Yunxi asked quickly.

Before meeting Chen Kui and the others, the third prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom sent someone to send snow lotus flowers.

she doesn't quite understand...

The reason why the North Xiao Kingdom agreed to help the Nanyue Kingdom to fight the war was to get the snow lotus, but why did they transfer the things to the southwest after they got the snow lotus?

"Forget it, don't think about things that you can't figure out. It's more important to boil medicine for brother-in-law." Yu Yunxi murmured softly, wanting to go to the pharmacy.

But at this moment, Xiao Baozi held her back.

"Mother, don't be in a hurry. As for the confidants of the third prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, the medicinal properties of this snow lotus flower will be greatly reduced when it leaves the soil, so we need to put it in the soil for a long time before we can give it to uncle. .”

Xiao Baozi said earnestly.

Oh yes, how did she forget this.

Yu Yunxi let out a breath before she realized it.

At the same time, she felt a little more doubtful.

She knew this because she read a lot of medical books back then.

But why does the third prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom know so well?

From the corner of her eye, she saw the letter and the table in her hand, and her heart calmed down.

Let's take a look first, why did that old man look for his mother back then.

Open the letter, there is only one line of writing on it.

"When the flowers in the imperial city bloom, my son will remember to return."

this……
