"We in the Southwest can **** 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 is considered to have divided 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 emperor at that time.

  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 phoenix crown was useful for, 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 concessions.

What?

  Princess Chunyang's phoenix crown?

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

  Chen Hui is getting old, so he is quite clear about the past, and he has a weird face.

  Yu Yunxi didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with them anymore, and she issued an order to evict guests again: "Just 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."

  Feng Yijin was a man with a dark heart, but he cared very much about his emperor's face.

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

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

  Chen Kui 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 talk to 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 a while.

   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 a little 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 a concern, but a reminder. You are still half of Yu's family. It would be bad if the Yu family was blamed because of you."

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

  When Yu Yunxi heard the words, there was a bit of a smile on his face.

  She didn't 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. Now all the forces in the capital are restraining each other. With you, the Yu family can't fail. Because when the emperor is in power, he won't give up you pawns 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? 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.

   "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 ministers, 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 means...

   He came 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!

  People like this should not choose to stare at Southwest at this time.

  That only shows that he came here with selfish motives.

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

  After he realized it, 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..."

   As he spoke, 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 sinners in Yufu. If it weren't for you, Yufu would not be in trouble. So I hid this letter and letter Things so far..."

  Listening to 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, 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 am I ashamed to say it. It's just because I think these two things are in my way, so I gave it to you." 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.

   This letter has been preserved for so many years. Although the surface is yellowed, but it has never been opened, she knows that his nature is not as bad as the rest of Yu's family members.

   "Mother Concubine."

   At this moment, Yu Xiao Baozi ran over quickly holding the freshly baked pastry.

  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 beckoned to Jin'er.

uncle?

   Oh, the Yu family.

  Little Baozi was not very happy, but he 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 was 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 greeting 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 broken pieces of silver.

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

  But when he sees…

  Little Baozi held the pieces of silver and counted them 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 you, uncle."

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

  Yu Yunxi was a little dumbfounded looking at it.

  It turned out that his son was still saving money.

  She usually thought that he would not 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 the broken silver from the little bun.

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

   "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, Xiao Baozi 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, have the snow lotus been sent?" Yu Yunxi thought of this, and she hurriedly asked.

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

  She doesn't quite get it...

  The reason why the Northern 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 you can't figure out. The most important thing is to make medicine for Yixiong." 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. .”

  Little Baozi said earnestly.

   Right, how did she forget this.

  Yu Yunxi let out a sigh of relief 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 the old man look for his mother back then.

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

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

this…

What means?
