Su Qing glanced at Lin Zhixiao, but said nothing.
Su Fengnuan thought that Ye Chang would not be angry with her until the Hundred Flowers Banquet, right
Several people chatted for a while, and Ye Xicai came one by one. When he arrived, he reined in the horse, looked around with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Brother Lin and Brother Chen came to see me off so early in the morning, you're being polite." After finishing speaking, he said to Su Qing, "I'm afraid I'm going back to Jiangnan this time. I have to wait until my junior sister gets married before I can drink wedding wine with third brother Su."
Su Qing laughed loudly, "Father doesn't want to marry the little girl off in a hurry, I'm afraid the wedding is not so early, at least it will take two years." After finishing speaking, he laughed, "Brother Ye Xi has no time to come to Beijing during this period. It doesn't matter, maybe I'm free, so I'll go to Jiangnan to meet you for a drink."
Ye Xi also laughed, "This is very good."
Su Fengnuan took out two brocade boxes from his bosom, handed them to Ye Xie, and said, "I have a box of medicine in it, and a box of amulets in it. Senior brother put it away, don't lose it."
Ye Xi reached out to take it, glanced at Su Fengnuan, and said with a smile, "What amulet? You couldn't have copied the scriptures, could it?"
As soon as he said this, Lin Zhixiao immediately looked at Ye Xi.
Su Fengnuan blinked her eyes and said, "When you get out of the city, you can open it slowly and you will find out." After saying that, she said sleepily, "To see you off today, I got up early and was so sleepy. I will not send you out of the city. My third brother and everyone will send you out of the city, I will go back to sleep."
Hearing this, Ye Xi put away the brocade box and said with a smile, "When did the little girl become so sleepy? I didn't even point to you to send me out of the city. I'm satisfied if you can get up and wait for me at the gate of the city. Go back Bar."
Su Fengnuan nodded, said no more, turned his horse's head around, and instead of going back to Su's mansion, he headed towards the Wang's mansion.
Lin Zhixiao watched Su Fengnuan's figure go away before looking away.
When he withdrew his gaze, he met Ye Xi's gaze looking at him. When their eyes met, Ye Xi smiled and said, "Junior Sister, there are actually not many advantages, but a lot of disadvantages, the most hateful one. It's just people who don't like her, she can be called cold-hearted and cold-blooded when she treats them. Therefore, before I leave Beijing, I would like to advise Brother Lin, there are so many women in the world, Brother Lin, don't ever be attached to her Head over, hurt others and hurt yourself."
Lin Zhixiao's face was light, and he smiled when he heard the words, "I can't help myself, I will send Brother Ye out of the city."
Ye Xi didn't say any more after hearing that, and nodded with a smile.
The statement took a second look at Lin Zhixiao, thinking that the second son of Lin was really a character, and after rumors of a marriage from the queen mother and the emperor had been rumored for a long time, he dared to go to Su's mansion to propose a marriage, and the whole city knew about it. But so far, apart from Ye Chang's habit of going crazy in front of Miss Su, he hasn't seen any special liking for Miss Su, so he can't talk about looking at Lin Zhixiao disliked by Ye Chang.
So, he sent Ye Xi out of the city together with Lin Zhixiao and Su Qing.
After sending them five li away from the city, Ye Xi bid farewell to several people, and left the capital of Southern Qi on horseback.
The statement said to Su Qing, "Brother Su, what are your plans for today? How about having a drink at noon?" After saying that, he invited, "Brother Lin, too?"
Su Qing shook her head, "Grandpa assigned me a lot of tasks, I can't be free today, let's try another day."
Lin Zhixiao also said, "I have delivered the message to the palace yesterday, and today I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor, so I don't have time to spare. Let's wait another day."
The statement gave up after hearing the words, "Then another day."
Several people returned to the city together.
Su Qing didn't go back to the Su Mansion, but went directly to the Wang Mansion. Wang Lu was in the study, talking to Su Fengnuan. The two were discussing the ingenious crossbow and arrow that killed Patriarch Ye. Su Fengnuan drew the blueprint, and Wang Lu looked at the blueprint. , with a serious face.
Su Qing didn't know about the assassination of Patriarch Ye. After entering the study, he saw the drawings on the table and asked suspiciously, "Huh? What is this? Such an exquisite design."
Su Fengnuan glanced at him and said, "Not only is it exquisite, but its power is unimaginable. If the two armies are fighting, if it is used, it will be a catastrophe to manufacture large-scale clever crossbows."
Su Qing was shocked.
When the emperor learned that Patriarch Ye was going to Beijing, he did not summon him on the first day, but he sent Koizumi to the Palace of Rong An to invite someone early in the morning of the second day.
Ye Chang ordered Qian Han to follow Patriarch Ye into the palace.
Patriarch Ye left the Rong An Palace, and when he came to the palace, just in time for the palace to go down, all civil and military officials came out of the palace gate one after another.
Some of the senior officials of the DPRK and China recognized Patriarch Ye and hurried forward to greet him.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Patriarch Ye entered the palace gate under the guidance of Koizumi.
The emperor summoned Patriarch Ye at the Jinque Pavilion in the Imperial Garden. Seeing Patriarch Ye coming, the emperor stood up while sitting. When Master Ye saluted him, he quickly stretched out his hand to support him, "The old Patriarch is excused!"
Patriarch Ye straightened up and thanked the emperor with a smile.
The emperor took him to a seat, greeted him for a while, and then asked, "Yesterday, I heard that after Ye Xi took the old Patriarch to Beijing, he left the old Patriarch in Beijing and left Beijing alone to return to Ye's house? He came to Beijing During this period of time, there have been many things going on, and I haven't spoken to him yet, why is he leaving Beijing in such a hurry?"
Patriarch Ye sighed and looked around.
The emperor understood, raised his hand and waved away the people waiting on the left and right.
Patriarch Ye told the emperor that he had been assassinated on the way to Beijing. After hearing this, the emperor was shocked, "There is such a thing? Who is so daring?"
Patriarch Ye shook his head.
The emperor asked again, "What does the ingenious crossbow look like? Can the old Patriarch bring it into the palace?"
Patriarch Ye shook his head, "This old man thinks that clever crossbow arrows are also belonging to weapons, and the gate of the palace is forbidden. I have come to Beijing for many years, but I still understand the rules. I didn't bring them with me. Now I stay in Rong'an Palace."
The emperor couldn't sit still when he heard the words, and ordered, "Xiaoquanzi, go to the Rong'an Palace quickly and bring the things back to me."
Koizumi asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, what is it?"
The emperor said, "Go to Ye Chang and tell him that I want that thing, and he will know."
Koizumi should be, and hurried out of the palace to go to Rong An Palace.
The emperor carefully asked about Patriarch Ye's assassination process, his face was a little dignified, and he said, "Since this spring, the Northern Zhou Dynasty raised troops, and after General Su defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I thought it would be safe. A lot of incidents happened, and Ye Chang's life was almost lost. I thought that after the case of Concubine Yue, everything would be smooth, but I didn't expect such a big incident to happen again. It seems that some thieves made up their minds in secret. Don't mess with my Southern Qi Dynasty, I vow not to give up."
Patriarch Ye also sighed, "It's been an eventful year."
At this time, someone from the palace came to report, "Your Majesty, the second son of the Lin family has been summoned to the palace. When will you see me?"
The emperor waved his hands when he heard the words, he didn't have the heart to summon Lin Zhixiao, and said, "Let him go back first, I have something important to do today, so I will see him again some other day."
"Yes." The palace man hurried over.
Patriarch Ye thought for a while, and said, "The Lin family is famous for its hidden weapons. The old man heard that the second son of Lin is the leader of the Lin family. Why don't you ask the second son of Lin to have a look at this clever crossbow, maybe he can see some tricks. "
The emperor shook his head when he heard the words, "The Lin family is also involved in the case of Concubine Yue. The fact that the hidden weapon of the mechanism is similar to the arrangement of the object involved in the case has not yet been determined and is pending. I can't trust the Lin family for such a big matter."
Patriarch Ye nodded upon hearing this, "That's true."
Not long after, Koizumi arrived at Prince Rong'an's mansion. After Ye Chang heard about it, he put the ingenious crossbow in a brocade box and handed it to Koizumi. Koizumi hurried back to the palace with it and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor opened the brocade box, took out the ingenious crossbow, looked at it for a while, and said, "It's really unimaginable that this thing is so powerful."
Patriarch Ye said solemnly, "Your Majesty, imagine that this kind of ingenious crossbow will be more powerful if it is used as a large-scale military crossbow. As far as I know, our Southern Qi military crossbows are not so delicate and powerful."
The emperor's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words.
Koizumi whispered, "Your Majesty, Ye Shizi still has something to tell you. He said that he still has something similar to this in his hand, but it involves an important person, so he dare not take it out lightly. If you are interested, you can go to Prince Rong'an's mansion to have a look."
The emperor raised his brows when he heard the words, "Is that what he said?"
Koizumi bowed his head, "Exactly."
The emperor looked at Patriarch Ye.
Patriarch Ye shook his head, "I don't know either, he didn't mention it yesterday."
The emperor pondered for a while when he heard the words, "Ye Chang is a bastard, although he has always acted arrogantly, but he will not shoot the target indiscriminately." After saying that, he put the ingenious crossbow arrow back into the brocade box, and closed the lid , said to Patriarch Ye, "The old Patriarch will have a meal with me in the palace at noon today. After the meal is finished, I will personally send you out of the palace and return to Prince Rongan's residence."
Patriarch Ye expressed his thanks knowingly, "Old man, I thank the emperor for his kindness."
The emperor waved his hand and ordered Koizumi, "Go and order the imperial dining room to prepare meals. I will have lunch with Patriarch Ye in this imperial garden."
Koizumi should be, and hurried to go.
The emperor stopped talking about the skillful crossbow and arrows, and had a farewell talk with Patriarch Ye.
Patriarch Ye thought to himself, although the emperor is weak, he can deal with changes without being surprised, without haste or impatience. Over the years, the situation of the Southern Qi Dynasty has been stabilized. Speaking of it, he should be a king without merit or fault so far. It is not easy to do so under the interference and suppression of foreign relatives.
Now seeing such ingenious crossbow arrows, it is not easy to still calm down.
The emperor ordered someone to bring a chessboard and play chess with Patriarch Ye.
The two played chess while chatting about other things. While talking, they talked about Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan's marriage.
