After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country
Chapter 40: Disrespect?
He Yun's home is a two-story house in an alley in the north of the city. The house originally belonged to He Yun's aunt Li, but He Yun's parents died early and his aunt divorced her husband's family early in life. The house was bought by his aunt with her own dowry.
When He Yun returned home, it was just dinner time and laughter could be heard in the yard.
When He Yun opened the door, he saw eight or nine children laughing and playing. These children were adopted by his aunt in his early years.
"Uncle Yun, you're back, grandma, Uncle Yun is back." Seeing He Yun come in, several children gathered around him and did not forget to tell the people in the room.
He Yun looked up into the house and saw a woman walking out.
Li's eyes were red, "Yun'er."
"Mom," He Yun choked.
The two have depended on each other for many years, and He Yun has long regarded Li as his own mother, so he changed the way he addressed her.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Li wiped her tears. It had been more than a month since He Yun left. She had been worried all day long. Fortunately, he came back safely.
"That's great. Come in and have dinner." Li took He Yun's hand and greeted him.
After dinner, when the children were asleep, He Yun hesitated and said to Li, "Mother, I promised someone that I would do something disrespectful for her."
Li was stunned when she heard this, and almost immediately guessed what the disrespectful thing He Yun was talking about was.
But Li just said softly, "Mother can't read, but she knows the principle of being a king and fulfilling one's duties. You are an adult now. If you think the person you are helping is right, then do it. Mother will support you."
He Yun's eyes were red. He knew his mother would say this.
"A man came yesterday," Li continued, "and wandered around the house for a long time, and finally left with a bag."
"That must be my son's friend."
Li nodded. She had gritted her teeth and bought this yard in order to make the children live in a more spacious house. Over the years, she has been relying on He Yun's salary and running a small business, and her life is pretty good.
"What about the money in the bag?" Li was a little worried.
"Don't worry, mother. The money was all earned legitimately." Of course not. The money was actually given to Liu Biao by Ye Jiu. It was the money he robbed from the tavern before. Liu Biao thought it was too much, so he gave him a part of it. He Yun was taken back by Liu Biao and delivered to Li.
He Yun said this without changing his expression, and Li believed it. "Okay, it's a good opportunity to buy some clothes for the children. Xiao Heng should also go to school."
Xiao Heng is the oldest boy among those children. He is eight years old this year. He Yun taught them to read and write before, which was considered the beginning of their education. Later, He Yun passed the imperial examination and had official duties, so he had no time to teach them anymore.
He Yun nodded, "It's getting late, go to bed early, mother."
Li nodded, and He Yun stood up and prepared to leave.
After He Yun closed the door, Li did not move. After a long time, low sobbing sounds were heard from the room.
He Yun had a very good sleep. He had been sleeping in the open air all the way, and Yin Hao was always urging him, so he didn't get a good rest.
He Yun slept until noon. When he woke up, Li had already returned from the market with the children.
He Yun looked at the cloth in the children's hands and asked, "Why don't you just make it into ready-made clothes?"
"It will cost more to make ready-made clothes. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I might as well kill time. Besides, I just bought fabrics before." Li handed the basket in her hand to He Yun.
He Yun took a look and saw only some vegetables, a small piece of meat, and a bag of very ordinary snacks, which his family had bought before.
Li was very cautious. Although she had the money now, she still bought things as usual in order not to arouse suspicion.
"Mom, I didn't tell you yesterday that I got a promotion and my salary has increased. We can spend more in the future, and you don't have to work anymore."
Li nodded, "Are you going out?"
"Go find a friend." He Yun nodded in response.
"Come back early," Li didn't ask anything.
He Yun walked and stopped on the road, looking left and right, as if he was really shopping.
In this way, we came to the east of the city. A new bookstore opened in the east of the city two days ago.
Of course, this bookstore was the first task that Qi Wuyou had asked Yu Shu to complete. It was used as a contact point. In order to avoid suspicion, the shop was newly purchased.
Qi Wuyou had told He Yun about the existence of this bookstore from the beginning. She had originally wanted He Yun to take over the bookstore, but then Liu Biao showed up and He Yun took the opportunity to suggest that Liu Biao take over the management. Qi Wuyou agreed.
He Yun stared at the plaque at the door for a long time before going in.
There were no customers in the store at the moment, and the shopkeeper was standing at the counter doing the bill.
He Yun stepped in. The shopkeeper raised his head, glanced at He Yun, and then looked at the private room upstairs.
He Yun understood, looked around the hall, then picked up a book and went upstairs.
Inside, Ye Jiu and Ye Shi had been waiting for a long time.
The three of them sat quietly in the private room drinking tea. After a while, the shopkeeper came in. This person was Liu Biao, now using the alias Chen Ying.
The four of them sat together and exchanged information.
"The emperor appointed me as the Minister of Rites, but gave me nothing except three days of vacation," He Yun said.
"So stingy." Ye Jiu sighed, and then said mischievously, "Brother is more generous, right? Did your family tell you about the money?"
"I told you, I will only take action after my mother asks me." He Yun replied.
"Seventh Brother and Miss Yushu continued their journey south after handing over the task to us yesterday." Ye Jiu said. They rode at full speed and finally arrived in Kyoto before He Yun.
"My people have also replied. They are all willing to follow you. There are about twenty of us," said Chen Ying.
"Can you transfer a few people to the bookstore? Although Eleven will stay here, send more people just in case." He Yun asked.
"I want to remove our contact point and use the bookstore for unified communication, which will be more convenient. Besides, our middleman was almost discovered when he was passing the message before." Chen Ying suggested.
"That would be the best. Can your people find out Princess Chunshan's itinerary?" Ye Jiu asked.
"You even want to kill the princess?" Chen Ying couldn't believe it.
"Yeah, are you scared?" Ye Jiu smiled.
At this moment, Chen Ying regretted not asking who was behind them, but he was not afraid of him.
"I'm not afraid, it's just..."
Seeing Chen Ying hesitant to speak, He Yun asked, "What's wrong?"
"What you guys don't know is that we did arrange people to be around Chunshan, but there was no news after a few days," said Chen Ying.
Ye Jiu understood, "I guess that person solved it."
Although Chen Ying didn't know who Ye Jiu was talking about, she still said, "We in Concubine Yin's palace are just servants. Besides, Princess Chunshan lives in the Princess's Mansion now, so it's difficult for us to find out from Concubine Yin."
