Chapter 139: Only by Living Can There Be Hope

Yu'er would just sneak a peek at the paper and then put it back in her arms, humming a little tune while working, not to mention how girlish she was.

"It must be a love letter written by a little eunuch!"

Although Li Xuan was pretending to be asleep, his heart was already in turmoil.

He knew that there had always been cases of palace maids and eunuchs eating together in the palace.

But he didn't expect it would be his own Yu'er's turn.

Of course, there were also cases of palace maids and palace maids, and eunuchs and eunuchs eating together.

In short, she was lonely and wanted to find company.

Although this kind of thing is not strictly prohibited, it is always not allowed to be on the table.

In addition, some masters are very strict with their servants' eating together. If they are discovered, they will be tortured or even lose their lives.

And some masters are relatively tolerant. As long as it does not interfere with their daily duties, they will turn a blind eye.

Nowadays, there are more tolerant people in the palace.

After all, they are all human beings and have their own needs.

If the problem is not solved for a long time, the people in the palace will become more and more perverted, which is not the case.

Just thinking that Yu'er also has such signs, Li Xuan can't help feeling a little sad.

"Am I not cute enough?"

"There is such a cute little cat at home, but you have to go out to find outsiders..."

(The little cat is wronged)

After lunch at noon, Yu'er asked for leave from Princess Ankang, saying that she would go out for a while and would be back soon.

Princess Ankang usually takes a nap after dinner, and there is nothing to trouble Yu'er, so she readily agreed.

When Li Xuan heard this, he was very energetic.

Recently, the family has abundant supplies, and there are special imperial meals for three meals a day. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, there are also eunuchs who come to visit them and ask if they need anything.

Therefore, Yu'er has not been out for several days.

First, she doesn't need to go out early in the morning to help others work, and second, there is nothing she needs to buy herself.

If there is anything you need, just let the eunuchs go to buy it. They are not short of money now, and the variety of things they can buy is more abundant. There is no need to trade privately with other eunuchs and palace maids.

Therefore, Yu'er's sudden going out today is particularly suspicious.

In addition, Li Xuan found that Yu'er always looked at a piece of paper and smiled foolishly today. He reasonably suspected that Yu'er would go to have a tryst with someone later.

"Humph, how can my little cat tolerate this!"

Li Xuan pretended not to care about this matter. After dinner, he accompanied Princess Ankang to take a nap in the yard in the sun, but his ears stood up high, catching any suspicious movements.

After Princess Ankang's breathing gradually stabilized, it took a long time before Li Xuan heard the sound of the gate of Jingyang Palace opening.

Li Xuan immediately raised his head to see, and indeed saw the scene of the gate just closing.

"Okay, okay, I want to see who is so bold as to seduce my Yu'er."

Li Xuan immediately sneaked out of Princess Ankang's arms without waking her up, and then chased out the door.

Yu'er was not walking fast, and Li Xuan could still see her figure after jumping on the courtyard wall.

Li Xuan followed her all the way and did not attract Yu'er's attention.

But Yu'er was also cautious along the way, looking around from time to time, and occasionally looking back.

But Li Xuan was already an expert in following, so how could Yu'er see through his tracks? Every time he perfectly found a cover to block Yu'er's sight.

But the more careful Yu'er was, the more worried Li Xuan felt.

"You are so cautious, Yu'er, you really disappoint me!"

Yu'er came all the way to a deserted alley.

Li Xuan took a look, okay, it's still the same place.

He had fought with Mao Ba and the others here, and tied their tails together.

Later, I don't know which kind-hearted person untied them.

"Hey, I haven't asked them about this yet."

"Next time, remember to ask who untied them."

Yu'er came to the entrance of the alley and found a back figure waiting for her at the end.

Li Xuan also saw the back figure and found that the other person was wearing the yellow clothes of the young eunuch, and the sharp claw blade popped out instantly.

But then Yu'er called the other person, and Li Xuan was stunned immediately.

"Weixian!"

The yellow eunuch turned around and showed an undetectable smile on his face.

"Sister."

Seeing that the other person was Deng Weixian, Li Xuan immediately put away the claw blade, and his gloomy face suddenly smiled.

"Oh, it turned out to be little Dengzi."

"I thought it was someone else."

Li Xuan realized that he was just worrying in vain, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's rare to say.

Since Deng Weixian came to Yu'er for the first time, there was no contact for a long time.

But think about it, it wasn't easy for Deng Weixian during that period.

He had to do odd jobs during the day and practice martial arts at night, which was really a non-stop job.

He also suffered a lot in the process of practicing martial arts, which was witnessed by Li Xuan himself.

"It seems that Xiao Dengzi got a day off today and came to see his sister."

"No wonder Yu'er was so happy all day today."

"It seems that the note in her arms was sent by Xiao Dengzi."

Sure enough, Yu'er took out the note and said to Xiao Dengzi: "I was shocked when I picked up this paper this morning. I thought I was dreaming."

"You are also smart. You actually wrapped a stone with a note and threw it into our yard."

Xiao Dengzi nodded and said: "I wanted to knock on the door, but I saw two eunuchs in flowery clothes guarding the door, so I didn't dare to go over."

"Sister, is there something wrong with Jingyang Palace?"

Deng Weixian has been serving Wang Suyue recently, and the news is not very well-informed. In addition, the previous incident of someone coming to Jingyang Palace to make trouble was deliberately suppressed by Zhao Feng.

Except for the two parties involved, only a very few people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew about it.

"This is a long story..."

Yu'er didn't want to mention this matter, but Deng Weixian was obviously worried now. After thinking about it, she still told him about someone who came to cause trouble before.

"Sister, are you okay?"

After hearing this, Deng Weixian grabbed Yu'er's arm with force, making Yu'er frown.

Seeing Yu'er frowning, Deng Weixian finally let go of her hand and murmured, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Yu'er shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, you are also concerned about me."

Yu'er noticed that her brother's expression was a little wrong, but she stretched out her hand to smooth his back and comfort him.

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, her brother seems to have never felt unfamiliar with her, which makes Yu'er feel a little relieved.

And when she thinks that their parents have passed away and her brother only has himself, Yu'er can understand Deng Weixian's previous behavior.

Thinking about it, Yu'er can't help but sigh.

She has been in the palace for five years.

After being sold by her family, she spent about a year on the road before being sent to the capital.

"So it was when she was nine years old..."

Yu'er had never thought about these things before, but now she couldn't help but think of that scene when she saw her brother.

"Weixian was only seven years old at that time."

At first, Yu'er's parents didn't think of selling her.

They were all their own flesh and blood, who would be willing to do that?

But later, disasters occurred year after year, either drought or floods, and the family's food reserves became less and less year by year.

Finally, that year came, the family could no longer afford to eat.

In order to survive, Yu'er's parents chose to sell her.

Although Yu'er was only nine years old at the time, she was already sensible and could understand her parents' decision.

But people are always like this.

Understanding in the brain is one thing, and whether you can understand in your heart is another.

As a younger brother, Deng Weixian didn't understand why someone wanted to take away his only sister, but his parents didn't stop him at all, but instead beat off his hand holding his sister.

The two children cried, and Deng Weixian's parents turned their heads away, as if not seeing them would make them feel more comfortable.

The brother and sister could not help but be silent for a moment, no one spoke, and they seemed to remember that day.

Deng Weixian was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Sister, have you been okay these years?"

Yu'er was stunned. When she heard her brother ask her this, she felt sad, but she forced a smile and said: "Sister, isn't she fine?"

"For us, it's good to be able to survive."

"Weixian, don't think too much."

Yu'er comforted.

She could clearly feel that her brother was now much more worried.

But thinking of what Deng Weixian had experienced, Yu'er could understand.

Under the disaster, he saw his parents die to protect him, and suffered all the hardships all the way to the capital, and entered the palace.

No matter which of the things was taken out separately, it was not something that a thirteen-year-old boy should bear.

But Yu'er was still fortunate.

At least she could see Deng Weixian again in her lifetime.

Deng Weixian is still alive and well now.

Yu'er understands how rare this is after many years of experience in the palace.

"Weixian, no matter how difficult it is in the future, you must live."

"Only by surviving can there be tomorrow and hope."

"If you die, there will be nothing."

Yu'er looked at the sky, her eyes full of nostalgia.

She was going to die the year she entered the palace.

Yu'er was also ready to accept her fate.

But at that time, a woman appeared and changed her fate.

Let her understand that it is meaningful to live.

Li Xuan lay on a tree and listened quietly to the conversation between the siblings.

From the heavy topic at the beginning, they gradually began to talk about what happened around them recently.

Yu'er mentioned the previous animal taming competition, which Deng Weixian had also heard of.

After all, this is not a small matter.

"After we received the reward from His Majesty, life in Jingyang Palace has become much better."

"By the way, Weixian, are you short of food, clothing and living expenses?"

"If there is anything you need, I can ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for you."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is kind-hearted, and we can't use up all those things..."

Before Yu'er finished speaking, Deng Weixian shook his head.

"Sister, I'm with Concubine Wang, I don't lack food and clothing, don't worry."

Deng Weixian also told him about his situation before.

Yu'er knew that he was now serving a Concubine named Wang Suyue.

"Concubine Wang has been favored by His Majesty twice. I'm afraid she will move out of Yanqu Palace soon and be officially canonized as a concubine. I should follow her then."

Yu'er was happy for her brother: "Well, you work hard, sister cheers for you."

The brother and sister said a lot more, but they tacitly hid their own secrets.

Yu'er did not mention that she was practicing martial arts with Zhao Feng, nor did she mention Li Xuan's affairs.

The same goes for Deng Weixian, his godfather, his martial arts training, and some other secrets...

The brother and sister seemed to be talking to each other, but they were just trying to comfort each other as much as possible.

In the eyes of Li Xuan, who knew the situation of the two, the behavior of the brother and sister was more twisted than reporting good news but not bad news.

But it was clear that they were both thinking about each other.

Two rootless duckweeds leaned against each other in the wind, reluctant to leave each other, but unwilling to get too close.

Whether it was the cold palace or the mysterious godfather, they were the fate they only wanted to bear.

The more you care, the more you have to push away.

This is the tacit way of survival for the brother and sister.

As long as the other party is still alive, they are satisfied.
