Chapter 139 Only by living can there be hope

Chapter 139 Only by living can there be hope

Every time, Yu'er just glanced at the piece of paper, then put it back in her arms, humming a little song, not to mention how girly she was.

"It must be a love letter written by some young eunuch!"

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

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

I just didn't expect that it would be my own Yu'er's turn.

Of course, there are also situations where palace maids eat with palace maids, and eunuchs eat with eunuchs.

Anyway, I was lonely and wanted to find companionship.

Although this kind of thing is not strictly prohibited, it is always out of the question.

Moreover, some masters are very strict with their servants' esophagus, and if they are discovered, they will be tortured at every turn, and they may even lose their lives.

Some masters are relatively tolerant and turn a blind eye as long as they do not miss their daily responsibilities.

Nowadays, the palace is more tolerant of this.

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

If it is not solved for a long time, the people in this palace will become more and more perverted, which is not the same thing.

Just thinking that Yu'er also showed such signs, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Am I not cute enough?"

"Obviously there is such a cute little kitten at home, but I have to find someone else..."

(Kitten feels aggrieved)

After lunch, Yu'er took leave from Princess Ankang and said she was going out for a trip and would be back soon.

Princess Ankang usually took a nap after eating, and there happened to be nothing that would trouble Yu'er, so she happily agreed.

When Li Xuan heard this, he became very energetic.

Recently, the family has a lot of supplies, and they provide royal meals for three meals a day. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the little eunuch who purchases the goods comes to visit them and asks them if they are missing anything.

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

Firstly, there was no need for her to go out early in the morning to help others with work, and secondly, there was nothing she needed to buy herself.

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

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

In addition, Li Xuan found that Yu'er was always looking at a piece of paper and giggling. He reasonably suspected that Yu'er was going to have a tryst with someone later.

"Humph, how can my little kitten tolerate such a tone!"

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

After Princess Ankang's breathing gradually stabilized, and after a while, Li Xuan heard the sound of the Jingyang Palace door opening.

Li Xuan immediately looked up and saw the door just closed.

"Okay, okay, I want to see who has the guts to seduce my Yu'er."

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

Yu'er didn't walk fast, and Li Xuan could still see her figure when he jumped on the courtyard wall.

Li Xuan followed along and did not attract Yu'er's attention.

It's just that Yu'er was cautious along the way, looking around from time to time, and occasionally looking back.

But Li Xuan is already a master of tailing, how could Yu'er see through his traces? He found the cover perfectly every time, blocking 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 to a deserted alleyway all the way.

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

This was where he fought with the Cat Bulls and tied their tails together.

Later, I don’t know which kind person untied them.

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

"Next time, remember to ask who loosened their bonds."

Yu'er came to the entrance of the alley and found a 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 a young eunuch, and the sharp claws popped out instantly.

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

"First!"

The little eunuch in yellow turned around, with an undetectable smile on his face.

"elder sister."

Seeing that the opponent was Deng Weixian, Li Xuan immediately put away his claw blade, and his gloomy face suddenly burst into laughter.

"Oh, it turns out to be Xiao Dengzi."

"I thought it was who it was."

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

It sounds rare.

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

But think about it, it was not easy for Deng to be the first during that time.

While busy doing chores during the day, I also have to practice martial arts at night, which can be said to be a continuous cycle.

He also suffered a lot during his martial arts training, which Li Xuan saw with his own eyes.

"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 piece of paper in the morning. I thought it was a dream."

"You are also clever. You actually wrapped a stone in a note and threw it into our courtyard."

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

"Sister, did something happen to Jingyang Palace?"

Deng Weixian has been serving Wang Suyue recently and is not very well-informed. Moreover, Zhao Feng deliberately suppressed the previous incident of someone coming to Jingyang Palace to cause trouble.

Apart from both parties involved, only a handful of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew about it.

"Well, it's a long story..."

Yu'er didn't want to mention this matter at first, but Deng Weixian was obviously worried now. After thinking about it, she finally told her about the incident where someone came to trouble her.

"Sister, are you okay?"

After Deng Weixian heard this, he grabbed Yu'er's arm hard, which made Yu'er frown.

Seeing Yu'er frowning, Deng Wei loosened his hand first and then realized it, and murmured: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Yu'er shook her head and smiled: "It's okay, you care about me too."

Yu'er noticed something was wrong with her younger brother's demeanor, so she stretched her hand along his back to comfort him.

Although they haven't seen each other for many years, Yu'er feels a little relieved that her brother never seems to be unfamiliar with her.

And when she thought that their parents had passed away and her younger brother was alone, Yu'er could understand Deng Weixian's previous actions.

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

It has been five years since she entered the palace.

After being sold by his family, it took about a year before he was sent to the capital.

"It turns out it was when I was nine years old..."

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

"I must have been seven years old at the time."

At first, Yu'er's parents did not think of selling her.

They are all his own flesh and blood, who would want to part with them?

However, disasters continued year after year, either drought or floods, and the family's food reserves became less and less year by year.

Finally, that year came, and the family could no longer open the pot.

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.

It's one thing to understand it with your brain, but it's another thing to understand it in your heart.

As a younger brother, Deng Weixian was even more confused about why someone wanted to take away his only sister, but his parents did not do anything to stop him. Instead, they knocked off his sister's hand.

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

The two siblings couldn't help but be silent for a moment. No one spoke, as they all seemed to be thinking of that day.

Deng Wei was bored for a long time before finally asking: "Sister, how have you been these past few years?"

Yu'er was stunned for a moment. She felt sad when her brother asked her this, but she forced a smile and said, "Isn't this a good thing, sister?"

"For us, just surviving is good."

"First, don't think too much."

Yu'er comforted.

She could clearly feel that her brother was thinking a lot more now.

But thinking about what Deng Weixian went through, Yu'er can understand.

During the disaster, he saw his parents die in order to protect him, and suffered all the hardships all the way to the capital, where he purified himself and entered the palace.

No matter which incident was taken out on its own, it was not something that a thirteen-year-old boy like him should bear.

But Yu'er was still lucky.

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

Deng Weixian is still alive and well.

Years of experience in the palace have made Yu'er understand how rare this is.

"First, no matter how difficult it is, we must live."

"Only by surviving can we have tomorrow and hope."

"When you die, there is 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 is also calmly prepared to accept her fate.

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

Let her understand that her own life is meaningful.

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 the things that happened around them recently.

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

After all, this is no small matter.

"After we received your Majesty's reward, life in Jingyang Palace will be much better."

"By the way, first of all, do you have any shortage of food and clothing over there?"

"If you need anything, I can help you ask Her Highness the Princess."

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

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

"Sister, I am with Wang Cairen and I have no shortage of food and clothing. Don't worry."

Deng Weixian also talked about his situation before.

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

"Wang Cairen has been favored by His Majesty twice. I'm afraid he will move out of Yanqu Hall soon and be officially named a concubine. I should also follow him there."

Yu'er was happy for her younger brother: "Well, do your best, sister will cheer for you."

The siblings talked a lot more, but they both hid their secrets in a tacit understanding.

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 other secrets...

The two siblings 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 their situation well, the behavior of the siblings was even more twisted than reporting good news but not bad news.

But they are clearly thinking about each other.

Two rootless duckweeds cling to each other in the strong wind, reluctant to let go of each other and unwilling to get too close.

Whether it's a cold palace or a mysterious godfather, it's a fate they only want to bear.

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

This is the tacit understanding between siblings to survive.

As long as the other person is alive, they are content.
