Chapter 167: Recruited by Liu Shuo as a Consort
After resolving the issue of Young Master Huo, Yun Yido discussed with Yun Feiyang about returning to the Central Plains. Seeing that winter was approaching, it was time for them to go back to accompany their grandfather and celebrate the New Year in Muyun Hongxue Garden.
When the two came to the palace to say goodbye to the new emperor, Lingqiong's new emperor Cen Ying looked reluctant. Cen Song had left some time ago, and now even the brother and sister were leaving, and Cen Ying was really reluctant to let them go.
Now, under the care of everyone, he can already walk, but he doesn't dare to walk too far. Today, he wore a gilded dragon robe and took a walk in the imperial garden with his brother and sister. His tall and graceful figure attracted the coveted eyes of many palace maids.
Yun Yiduo laughed as she strolled around, and finally said directly to Cen Ying:
"After your leg healed, you have become even more handsome! All those girls are fascinated by you."
"Duoduo has a little mouth and is always making fun of Second Uncle."
"How can you be making fun of me? Second uncle should listen to the ministers' advice, marry a queen sooner, and give us a brother or sister."
Cen Ying was helpless. People were urging him to get married when he went to court, and people were still urging him to get married when he left the court!
"Well, Lingqiong is busy with state affairs right now, and the people have just settled down. Uncle doesn't have the leisure time to get married!"
"Well - actually this is not bad. Second uncle's leg has just recovered and he still needs to rest. It's good to postpone the wedding so as not to make Second Uncle worry and hurt his body."
Yun Feiyang felt amused when he saw his sister acting like a parent. Even Cen Ying couldn't help laughing after hearing what she said.
"After you return to the Central Plains, please greet your elders on behalf of your Second Uncle. The gifts from your Second Uncle have been prepared, please bring them to your grandfather and grandfather. Don't be afraid if you encounter any difficulties in the Central Plains. From now on, your Second Uncle will be your backup."
"Okay, thank you, second uncle!"
The two walked with Cen Ying for a while, and Yun Yido urged Cen Ying to have a good rest. Then the two left the palace and prepared to return home.
When the large group of people left the city, there were already several people waiting at the city gate: Master Du, Hua Yunkai, Young Master Huo, and Young Master Tang Shiqi who had not been seen for many days.
Master Du and Hua Yunkai moved their home into the dense forest of Beishan Mountain, where there were dense poison barriers and no one dared to enter. And Young Master Huo also changed into the clothes of a Lingqiong person, and seemed to have started a business in Xudu, and it seemed that he was doing quite well. Young Master Tang Shiqi was even more outrageous. He just wanted to see someone off, but he actually dressed up as a fortune teller and said something there, which made Yun Yidu speechless.
There was no conversation along the way. In just half a month, the group arrived in the Central Plains. As soon as they entered the Central Plains, Yun Yido heard the news that the war situation in the north had become tense again.
In the evening, Yun Yido kept staring at Yun Feiyang after dinner. Her brother must have known about this matter a long time ago, but he didn't tell her.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me such a big thing!"
"We have Brother Yi and Brother Jiu in the North. Even if the war gets intense, they can handle it. Don't worry!"
Yun Feiyang comforted Yun Yiduo, hoping to deal with the matter quickly, but who is Yun Yiduo? She was uneasy and always had a bad premonition, so she asked:
"Brother, you are so anxious to cover it up, there must be something wrong. Is it brother who has an accident, or brother nine? Brother nine has an accident? Oh, brother - can't you tell Duoduo?"
Yun Yido acted coquettishly towards Yun Feiyang. In the past, Yun Feiyang would definitely tell her what she wanted to say if she did that. But this time, Yun Feiyang remained silent for a long time. He didn't know what to say.
"Brother, please tell me!"
"Ninth brother... he was recruited by Liu Shuo as his consort."
"What?"
Yun Yiduo was confused. What was going on? How did Liu Shuo recruit his ninth brother as his consort? Wouldn't his Lin family be accused of treason and collusion?
"Now, Grandfather, my eldest uncle's family, and my second uncle's family are all in prison. My married sisters have not been implicated, but my eldest sister-in-law's family is imprisoned in the Shangshu Mansion and cannot come out. My fourth sister and seventh sister are currently listed as fugitives and are being wanted. However, my great grandfather gave me news that Grandfather and his family are safe in prison and no one dares to embarrass them. Brother Song also sent me news that my seventh sister is in Yueyin Villa and everything is fine."
"How could it be--so--"
Yun Yido’s mind was a little confused. How could this be possible? Such a thing never happened in her previous life. How come her ninth brother became Liu Shuo’s consort in this life?
"Brother Nine wants to go deep into the enemy camp. He is putting himself in danger!"
Yun Yido stood up suddenly. Seeing Yun Feiyang's calm face, she immediately understood that everyone knew the matter clearly, but it was too risky for Brother Nine to do this.
"Duoduo, the war with Liu Shuo should have ended long ago. If it continues like this, not only will the Central Plains be in chaos, but the country's strength will also be weakened due to excessive consumption."
"But why is it Brother Nine? Then... Tan'er... Sister..."
Yun Yido couldn't continue speaking and suddenly fell on the table and started crying.
"Although the emperor ordered that my grandfather's family be imprisoned, he did not seal up the Lin family's assets, so my brother will be very busy after returning to the Central Plains."
"Does that mean that grandpa and his family can only spend the New Year in prison?"
Yun Yiduo raised her head and looked at Yun Feiyang, only to see him nod. They all believed in Brother Nine, and the Emperor and His Majesty believed in him as well. However, before the war was over, in front of the court officials and the people, Brother Nine was still a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. The Lin family still couldn't let him go.
As a result, wherever they went, they could hear people cursing the Lin family, and the Lin family's business plummeted because of this. Because many people knew that someone in the Lin family had colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, they began to boycott buying things from the Lin family's shop.
When Yun Yiduo returned to Muyun Hongxue Garden, the situation inside was not good. The emperor and Mr. Ouyang were still there, but they gave the children of Sanxing Hall a holiday. Everyone in the garden was in a low mood.
"Grandpa, can I go see my grandfather and the others?"
The Emperor shook his head and said to Yun Yiduo:
"Duoduo, they are doing well in prison. Grandfather is taking care of them. Don't worry about them. What you should be concerned about now is the fourth young lady who is living outside. She is wanted and we don't know the situation at home. She is the most dangerous."
The words of the Emperor reminded Yun Yiduo, and now it seems to be true. Her grandfather's family in prison are being taken care of, so she doesn't have to worry. Her eighth sister is probably also safe in Yueyin Villa. Only her fourth sister's current situation is unclear, so she has to think of a solution.
"Thank you, Grandfather. I understand."
Yun Yiduo said this and went to find Butler Lin. She knew that if she asked who knew the Lin family best, it would be Butler Lin.
"Grandpa Butler, do you know where the monk my fourth sister likes is practicing?"
